There used to be a project on SourceForge to allow the cue:cat to be used as a regular scanner in Linux.
Since Radio Shack was just giving the things away they shouldn't complain if the store employees wanted to take a few dozen to their local Linux Users Group and pass them out.
Novell has something like this too.
It comes free with Netware 5.1 called Web Search.
Maybe not as spiffy as Google but is damn fast, and it also has capability of password protecting sensitive search results.
This site was created by the SEC, FTC, NASD, with a little help from their friends, the Whitehouse.
The agencies and groups, except one, created the site because of an increase in investment scams. But the Bush Administration has invoked executive privaledge to keep its reasons for helping to create the site secret.
The site shows some of the telltale signs of online investment fraud. Promises of fast and high profits, with little or no risk, are classic red flags of fraud. And one obvious tip off was that they claimed to be a broadband provider who's 'business model is working.'
I saw a segment on TV about this months ago. The machine looks for consecutive frames where not much has changed and removes them.
If they only used it on half hour crap sit-coms and talk shows it wouldn't be so bad. But It seems like it would ruin scenes from classic movies where a director has purposely inserted a pregnant pause or an uncomfortable silence in the dialogue or an actors face frozen in horror.
But hey! If it makes someone a few more bucks then what the hell. Maybe they could frame the Mona Lisa with LCD panels and sell advertising on them.
I would tend to agree with you since it is about like translating a literary work from english to french then claiming the french version is not covered under the original copyright. OTOH we've all seen some of the stupid things our government can do.
Wow! Add a keyboard and you have a PC.
I wonder if Gates' boot licking lackey (Dell) realizes they are going to get bopped on the head by xbox in a few years. IBM figured it out a year ago and HP did too just recently.
Does anyone know what the current connection speed is of those news reporters in the middle east? Their streaming video comes across pretty bad sometimes. 2Mbs ought to be enough I would think. I know NPR used a 56k connection for a while but it was audio only.
I think that the classical black hole is not of a solid sphere but rather a torus. The reason being the very high angular momentum. So yes they do have a hole. Think of them like a spinning Aerobee.
Ok. But I have to ask. Why would AOL buy Redhat at all? If they want a linux distro they can roll their own or even use Redhat as a starting point ala Mandrake.
I suspect he was talking in terms of capitalization. MS surpassed GE as the largest corporation in terms of stock market capitalization a few years ago I seem to recall.
You are right to point out that there are different yardsticks to judge by. After all we could look at most employees or highest revenues or least criminal behavior, and MS might not be #1 in those categories.
I doubt if this would be used for human transportation at first for the reasons that many people have already listed. However it can be used to catapult building materials and supplies into LEO.
It might be useful for humans eventually as some have already suggested as a booster stage. Since we are close to designing air breathing rockets and hypersonic vehicles, this could be combined with those concepts.
The last time we bought an HP 9000 at work, the sales people said that it could run Linux instead of HP-UX if we wanted. But this article doesn't mention PA-RISC at all. Does anyone know if these high-security features of HP-LX are already in the PA-RISC version of linux?
Windows XP is a far far bigger threat to Linux on the desktop. Face it, Windows 9x operating systems were utter crap. They were the biggest reason to use Linux ever. With Windows XP, Microsoft has finally created a operating system that doesn't fall over every three minutes.
I've heard this same, untrue statement for each windowing system Microsoft has ever released, including WINDOWS M.E.!
XP is already under security alerts. If security has not improved why should I believe that stability has?
I do agree with your idea that Linux being cheaper it will eventually win out. I don't expect any huge gains in only 2 years though. Redhat's CEO testified that it would take (if I remember correctly) as long as 20 years for Linux to break the Windows monopoly.
I thought that was an overestimation at the time but considering the current administrations attitude regarding the prosecution and punishment of wealthy criminals, it might take that long.
I don't normally watch the show except during commercials on the other channel, but yes she did seem especially bitchy tonight especially to Wil. Perhaps her hemmorhoids are acting up or she has the cramps. No that can't be it. I'm sure she went through menopause decades ago.
On the other hand, I can see him disapproving of efforts like Wine, which have the potential of turning systems that already are 100% Free into less-than-100% Free. "Hey, MS Office runs in Linux now? Let's stop using KOffice!"
That might be a valid argument once more people are using Linux than Windows and Koffice than M$ Office. But after that happens, who in their right mind will switch to an expensive, non-libre office suite that few others are using?
I have to agree. I have occasionally done this with Gnome Terminal just to have a visual effect when showing Linux to new users, but having a bunch of windows open at the same time is "busy" enough without adding the extra confusion. It's like trying to read a book written not on paper but on cellophane pages.
Though for certain apps like an mp3 player where you do something and then ignore the window it might allow a visually pleasing display, merely as eye candy.
It seems so tiresome and worthless to read through all this legalese when it can be summarized in one sentence. A convicted law breaker was left to walk scot free by a crooked administration.
Jeb Busch will not need to use the Supreme Court judges they own to steal his presidential election. I predict that they will use M$ written voting software to do it.
Oh They'll have jurisdiction over the Internet alright. What this decision does is to try to set the stage for _different_ rights online than what you have guaranteed by the constitution.
Evidently our glorious leaders believe that Liberty and Freedom are outdated concepts and that they can be taken away just because we are 'speaking' using computers rather than standing on a soapbox and shouting.
Cites two senators who I'd thought to be more clueful (Orrin Hatch and Chuck Schumer).
I don't know why you would expect Hatch to be clueful. While he is a visible supporter of the Microsoft Anti-Trust prosecutions, I suspect it is only because Novell is in his state.

Nope. Read one of those licenses again. It's lawyers started thinking about this possibility long ago.

So Satan was actually Steve Jobs all along?
I hate having choices. I wish Bill Gates would come to my house and pick out my clothes for me.
That's awesome! Mind if I use it as a tagline?

Perfect timing. I just finished researching synthetic fibers. If I hurry production in three of my cities I can launch my spaceship by 2004.

Till you read the agreement and realize that the slash has to be a typo.
It isn't even a slap on the wrist. It is more like a kiss on the papal ring.
