Minor nitpick: we're not dumb enough to go to war over something as stupid as IP. We'll first invent some flimsy excuse and then demonize the other country's leaders, THEN we'll go to war.
What do you want to fight over? George Bush Sr.'s oil well's in Kuwait just got taken over or the evil Saddam Hussein is invading poor tiny Kuwait? Noriega isn't following CIA orders like a good puppet dictator or American sailors were brutally murdered by evil Panamanian forces?
We'll believe whatever the TV tells us, as long as they're telling us that the other side is TRULY evil.
You left out the fact that Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are violently undemocratic, to the chagrin of alot of young people, who, rightly or wrongly, are quick to take up arms against any perceived threat. With all the military assistance we give both countries, we can help but be a big fat target.
As a former Soviet republic, doesn't the Ukraine have any nuclear weapons that they can use to argue away sanctions? And what's so important about CD piracy? We don't have trade sanctions on Taiwan or China or Russia, do we?
Maybe something like grab a serial cable, hook up one end to the comp and the other end to a set of LEDs and then write a device driver that lights up the LEDs based on whether the webserver is server or the mail server is getting mail or something. Maybe collaborate with an EE at your school or something.
In any case, I would think it'd be easier the other way, that Linux has more drivers than BSD. Maybe he should try your suggestion in the opposite direction?
It's got strategy, it's text bases, web based, there's alot of in your head number crunching, the community's a decent size, and the team I play with on the team server are all r/l friends. Try it =)
Hm, that's got me thinking... Web based games should publish their interfaces as xml files, that would make special handheld wireless clients really easy to use...
In previous press releases they state that they send out up to 700,000 of these cards simultaneously.
What we need is this list, so we can market opensource software to these businesses, so they never have to worry about funky license shit. Like GPL or BSDstyle? Oh wait. You know what I meant.
I'm curious: how do you feel about the wacky conspiracy theorists who claim the FTAA will erode Canadia's excellent health care system? On the one hand I wouldn't mind moving north, on the other hand, it seems like you're all on the verge of getting majorly shafted by your 'friends' south of your border.
This is a prime example of why slashdot should set up mirrors for sites that it's going to destroy. Great fucking content that the site owner got maliciously trashed for. I see all these posts talking about mirrors and slow downloads and blahblahblah and no one talking about how great these movies are.
One thing about these small computers is that they're never cheap. Has anyone seen a small (aka, small enough compared to a desktop to be considered cute) PC that's affordable (under a grand)? Maybe possibly useful as a gift, ya know...

I know some people will see this article as a blatant advertisement, but you have to give it a try. I have two friends who swear by this game, but of course the demo doesn't run on my system for some ungodly reason.
You can, but you shouldn't. Just about every function call in Win16 has been superceded by something in Win32. Win32s doesn't count because it was kind of incomplete.
Just dig through MSDN, it'll always tell you what something does, what platform it does it on, and whether it's been made obsolete or not.
Part of the issue is also that IE is used as the default viewer for things like email. So if you could please list open source email clients for windows, we'd appreciate it.
January 2002 Dr. Dobbs Journal, page 18: basically some unidentifiable chick could have figured out the secret of the enigma machine much earlier than everyone else, but she wasn't allowed to follow up on her insights. She's called Mrs. BB because they can't think of anything better.
I'm glad ya'll are enjoying it. Google no longer shows any of the Usenet postings I've made (except for one), which is funny because I posted all of them using Google. It's strange, but I'll get over it. I just wish I knew why I wasn't important enough to archive ^^;;
Maybe you didn't notice the recent legislation but a warrant is no longer needed to enter your home and tap your computer. Actually that strengthens your argument, there's no need for this to be a trojan.
You can watch TV while studying, while doing your homework, while programming, while reading, while chatting over the net, while playing Pokémon, while playing chess, while building a lego robot, while listening to music, while painting, while cuddling with your sweety...
I dunno if any of you have been watching Earth: Final Conflict, but this last season of its has been sucking tremendous ass.
At the very least we have Stargate SG-1 to entertain us? The entire show is only about continuity!
On the other hand, remember that whole Tabasco fiasco with Roswell? I don't watch Roswell, but there was some massive campaign to keep the show from being cancelled, maybe something like that can be done to prevent this loss of what makes Andromeda cool?

uh, I could be wrong, but the link has nothing to do with Hack Proofing Win2k?
My bad for not bothering to read comments below 3 =)

Where do I go to sign up?
I'd be happy if there was a button I could toggle to give me "stories not listed as front page stories viewable on front page".

It's all good, and stuff...
It doesn't, I was just curious. Stupid 120 char limit.
No room for credit in your sig?
