21. Critics of KDE focused in particular on its reliance on the QT library, which was not wholly free at the time of initial Gnome development, although it has since been released into the public domain. It seems reasonable to speculate that Gnome development influenced the decision of QT developers to release their software under a general public license.
Well, you can get TONS of this stuff really cheap on eBay, ever since the Dot Com Kaboom...
I would start with a couple of routers, and at least two switches. Steer clear of the low-end 1700 series, unless you want to add this as a third router at some point. Better to get a 2600 series with 2 Eth 10/100's in it (the second eth is less that 150.00 on eBay) You can throw some of the cheaper 2500 series in here too. The go for about 4-5 hundred. These usually are featured with 1 10/100 and sometimes an AUI. You can set up HSSI between these - make sure you get the cables!
Switches? The 2900 series is great - but pricy. All the trunk/bridge/VLan madness you want can be practiced on the 2924XL. I would get one of these, and make up on an old 10bt switch for the others - 1724, etc...

It's not a "Johnny-come-lately", I read this when SLS and Yggdrasil were still distributions. They maintain an excellent editorial and contribution staff, many of whom you will find in other serious technical publications.
Also, SysAdmin is excellent for an all-around continuing education. There is much more Linux specific content here in th epast couple of years, and the general Unix knowledge to be gleaned from its pages is incalculable.
Apple wrote a new graphics layer (Quartz) from scratch for Mac OS X.
Yes and no.
Quartz specifies a new graphics layer, but one that is object-API compatible with OpenStep. OpenStep applications should port without major graphical overhaul.
Quartz is based on PDF, much as NeXT and Sun NeWS were based on PostScript.
I think that the "desktop" version of MSSQL is going to be weak link here. This is installed automatically with every FrontPage XP and Visio 200x, as a backround task - with no hint that it even has an administrator or an administrative interface.
CodeRed often travelled on employees laptops. They came in from their home DSLs into environments with lock-down net perimeters - physically and via VPN. I'm afraid that this is the vector of opportunity for this new worm.
I have experienced that MANY MSSQL installations have no password for Administrator. This amounts to a huge number of development installations - as well as systems slated for production, until the moment they go "live".
The exceptions are when OS user integration is used for DB authentication - then it is often a Domain Admin account that is used. Another crime just waiting to happen!
This auto satisfy any questions about the limited protection offered by EFS in stand-alone and default modes, as well as provide direction for configuring EFS to operate with a very decent level of confidentiality and availability.

Yeah, Let's build an economy on a backbone of criminal and otherwise unethical behavior!

Hell,
A binary from Windows 286 (v.2) still runs under XP!
I have a copy of MSDOS.EXE, the "MS DOS Executive" that someone sent me as a joke. That's the Windows 2.x "file manager". Really, its like a bitmap of the DIR command output, optimized for EGA!
It's fasinating and illuminating that the Windows API calls still support this antique. I would have thought that M$ would have introduced a routine to disable these old embarrasments.
If someone's doing their job, Lou Reed will probably get some royalties for Satellite of Love. It's a Brand Savvy theme song, like The Passenger by Iggy Pop
I'm so glad that the Sales brothers are on commercials for Beer, Automobiles and Luxury Cruises!
I have an excellent TINY USB mouse that has two buttons and a wheel. It's about the size of a Zippo lighter, and the precision is high enough that it can be used on the area next to the track-pad on Wallstreet/Lombard.
Definitely cool and no problem on planes or in hotels.
The OEM branding on mine is Targus, and this is available in black or silver at CompUSA. Under the Linux USB support, it is identified as a KYE/Genius USB wheel mouse. It works for both OS9 and OS X without additional driver support.

There is nothing wrong with them, that hasn't already resulted in the largest monoply competiyor position in modern times.
Gosh, maybe "not being held hostage by the business requirements of your single vendor" qualifies as a valid response...

Yes and no.
Quartz specifies a new graphics layer, but one that is object-API compatible with OpenStep. OpenStep applications should port without major graphical overhaul.
Quartz is based on PDF, much as NeXT and Sun NeWS were based on PostScript.
Ars Technicha went over this in detail:
An example of an early third generation display layer is the Display Postscript system used by NeXTSTEP. Since the display layer has to keep track of all these vector shapes itself, it makes sense to use an existing vector graphics definition language like Postscript instead of creating a new one from scratch. Using Postscript saves work and allows easy interchange and printing of graphics from such a system.
Quartz does not use Postscript as its internal graphics representation language. Instead, it uses Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) standard which is a superset of Adobe Postscript. PDF has several advantages over Postscript, including better color management, internal compression, font independence, and interactivity. (Check out the PDF specs for more information.) PDF is also is a free and open standard, which saves Apple from paying Postscript licensing fees.
Greyscale, yes - but 8-bit greyscale!
In fact, NeXT TIFF images were natively in 16-bit depth format.
The PostScript rasterizer produced 2-bit output for the NeXT laserprinter and fax output...
Glad to know this!
The first operating screening firewall I know of on the ARPA was our old friend, gatekeeper.dec.org.
