Dreamweaver, fireworks and probably Freehand use Tabbed dialogs to decongest the work area.. this is REDICULOUS!!!! What other programs use Tabbs to decongest dialogs.. Heck it's a standard component in just about EVERY GUI toolkit no matter what OS you use.. Someone better find some prior art and SCREW Adobe.. First they go after Killistrator and now this..
My roommate was playing starcraft w/ a 10x hitachi DVD drive.. and after a bit of playing the Starcraft CD blew up.. into about 10 pieces inside the drive... He had to take the entire drive apart to get all the pieces out.. and yes, for some reason he is STILL using the hitachi drive..
but there is no competing over market share anymore.. The only browser you pay for is opera.. Netscape,Mozilla,Konqueror,IE, are all FREE. well except for IE on embedded systems.. It's all about targeted ads now.. That's why IE ships with a piece of spyware. (Found by ad-aware, http://www.lavasoftusa.com/)
I went to a computer show slightly before Netscape got bought by AOL and right around the time when they released Mozilla and created mozilla.org. I was talking to the Netscape reps there.. Netscape's view on this "browser war" is that there shouldn't be one.. that the browsers shoul follow the standards, that way no user is disallowed from the content on the internet. that's why mozilla is so promoted as standards compliant.. the reason for different browsers is choice.. nothing more.. some prefer mozilla, some opera, konqueror, or yes for some reason even M$ explorer. but as long as everyone follows a standard there's just a war on who has the better content...
well possibly.. I read somewhere that NVidia didn't want to work with Intel ever again.. That's why the N-Force is for the AMD processors and not Intel like it is in the X-Box.. SO.. if Nvidia is working with Micro$oft for the X-Box2 then it will probably be an AMD.. And even though I am pro AMD and anti-Intel.. I'm still never gonna get an X-Box anything from Micro$oft...
Eh.. just uninstall Morpheus and use LimeWire.. It's the exact SAME network.. Gnutella!!.. And LimeWire has a nicer interface anyway..
I use that now.. it's better. yeah I do have that annoying ad bar at the bottom.. but I may just pay the $8.50 to have it removed permanently... and since I use linux.. it doesn't install all that CRAP software like Bonzie Buddy!! (SPYWARE!!!!)
Anyway.. just download Ad-Aware and have it remove the SPYWARE from your system.. (I bet it'll probably remove the Morpheus one too!) Oh and once you remove the spyware you'll notice your system runs better too and doesn't crash (as much).. (I did this on a friends system and WOW no spyware=more stable system, still not as stable as Linux though)
I can partially understand their view... but that's a tad extreme.. At the college IT dept were I was working at I did not allow OutLook to be used.. or if the staff or teacher wanted to use it.. I didn't support it.. (they tended to not like that when things blew up in their face. aka missing e-mail/address books, or NASTY viruses).. I also had Norton Corporate Edition installed on all the systems.. which has a central point of command.. I can automatically update the virus defs on all systems in a flash.. and all the quarenteens get dumped to one location.. I can also install NAV-CE on any new system from the server.. (as long as they were NT4.0 or Win2K)
However, the issue did arise were some employees abused their access to the internet and didn't work and just played.. mainly the guy whow was supposed to be the SysAdmin at the place, which actually I was doing all of his work as he slacked off playing EverCrack and reading pages of EverCrack forums.. And would you believe that they didn't want to fire him.. and he was doing this for about 4 months before they finally canned him.. and Then they refused to hire me for that position (which I was already doing that AND the programming).. well.. the're screwed now as I left and they haven't a clue how to run things... OH Well...
IF this IS actually true... I use VMWare so Morpheus is running in a "contained" environment..:-D
And since morpheus is based off of FastTrack P2P.. then most likely KaZaa and Grokster have the same "supposed" exploit.
CIS is a business degree. The main focus is on business, but with a partial background on Computers.. You don't want someong running an IT department without computer knowledge (Like the place I just left.. ARGGHH).
The CS degree is a Science degree. Focused on theory of computers.. How to program.. Designing User interfaces, designing OS's.. etc.. This is for a "programmer". This is what Linus Torvalds has a Masters in..

Has anyone purchased and read the Programming Linux Games book that Loki Software wrote?
<a href="http://www.nostarch.com/plg.htm">http://w ww.nostarch.com/plg.htm</a>
I just checked through their website and can find no mention of this lawsuit. Also on the main page of their corporate page it mentions that they have annual revenues of over 12Billion USD. And it's main headquarters are in San Jose, California. So why would these german lawyers be going after this guy. Also their Company profile completely clashes with this act. Read their company info page. About Adobe
You don't need dual XF86Config Files.. Just start another copy of X up.
I have some games (windows games run through wine or vmware) that require 8 bit mode. (Yuck) And to play them I just run
xinit/usr/bin/X11/xterm --:2 -depth 8
that will start another copy of X in 8 Bpp. then I type twm (start up a simple window manager)
and run my game.
then I just exit the xterm and go back to my other X.. Yeah it's not easy but it can be done. I read somewhere (i believe) that supposedly there is some bit depth changing stuff in X/DRI or at least being worked on.. Can anyone verify this? This would Definitly be a "Good Thing (tm)" for linux/unix.
As in Last year was the first year there ever was a training budget. Before that the head of the IT dept. payed for Fiber training himself. We've managed to get like 14G for 4 fulltime, and 1 mostly fulltime.. and we will be adding another full time hardware tech soon.
Th reason?? They (administration) are too afraid of us actually knowing what we are doing and going somewhere else.. Yet they continue to whine and complain when things don't get done quick enough.
This is nothing new.. There are many different pieces of software that are based on a yearly "subscription" usually in the form of a required support fee. I have to deal with several pieces of software like that. One that comes to mind is Checkpoint Firewall-1.... Oh, how I so wish I could replace that evil beast with linux.. However, convincing the head of the IT deparment is rather difficult on that one..
So far it's pretty slick.. A lot nicer then using Icecast. And for adding more streams.. apache's.htaccess file make it REAL easy no need to create a port 8000 virtual host just allowoveride in a directory and put this in there.
here is my.htaccess file
--.htaccess BEGIN --
<Files all>
SetHandler mp3
MP3CastName "My Mp3s"
MP3Genre "Various"
MP3/home/ftp/pub/mp3
MP3Random On

--.htaccess END --
then just access it like
I am currently using MySQL server backend for many thing on the website at the school I am working at.. (guestbook, and such) along with tracking/maintaning user accounts on the NT systems..
I was using Access for a while as the front end.. but basically it's a pain.. I have been shifting everything to a php frontend on the web server.. PHP has just more power than Access (Visual Basic) in less time I have gotten far more done.. I am ussing the DB.php (PEAR) class that comes with PHP4. and using the class.QuickTemplate.php off of phpclasses.upperdesign.com which allows me to very easily create dynmic pages with a template (and not clutter my PHP code with HTML)
Actually RedHat will be creating a third choice that does basically the same thing as RedCarpet.. but most likely I'll use RedCarpet if I can get it downloaded...
I had talked with one of the redhat people about a month ago. They were doing a customer service survey... I got a free shirt out of it.. And was asked to complain about Dell's Lack of decent linuxboxes.. (they are very poorly setup).
check it out.. type whois microsoft.com in a term. (sorry windows users you'll have to find a web based whois query program). You get this response.
