Hell, Anderson Consulting estimated that the money spent on changing their name to Accenture cost about $100 million. (Yes, one-hundred million dollars.) And that was just the cost of things like changing the stationary — the promotional costs are in addition, like their $175 million global advertizing campaign in 2001 to establish the new name with people.
On the main topic, what the Hell is Timothy talking about with his truth-in-labelling babble? A "Digital Collection System" pretty much describes what the system does. A "carnivore" is a meat-eater, which does not describe what this system does. Sure, Carnivore sounds more ominous, but shouldn't he be arguing in favor of accuracy, not for hype?
Just one problem with that, which is that seemingly all of the Linux companies are losing money or firing people. One day people will just have to face that it's a loser of a business model. Until then, I guess the kids here can continue modding up every post that's whistling by the graveyard...

Check out "Perl Power Tools: The Unix Reconstruction Project," where many of the Unix utilities have been written in Perl. In addition to being kinda neat, they make for good mini tutorials for Perl. So far there are implementations for:

Ahh yes, it's very comforting to know that Linux Today has taken it upon themselves to track down and identify any heathen who violates the Linux Groupthink and dares utter a disparaging word about Linux.
Well, maybe the extra money to Microsoft is well spent by not having to worry that they'll go belly-up. Perhaps Amiga, Mac, OS/2, RedHat, SuSe (at least the U.S. users), Stormix, BeOS and Corel Linux fans know what I'm talking about here.
And then subtract all the money that you could've been earning instead of fiddling around in vi with countless configuration files. Oh wait, I forgot most people around here don't have real jobs.;) Carry on!
You're either kidding or have never been within 10 miles of a company having anything remotely to do with the Internet. Registering a domain name is something that you do as soon as you've decided on the name, so someone doesn't grab it. In fact, checking to see if the name is available is something almost always done before you even pick a name in the first place these days.
You don't have to register a domain name to be legit, but it's pretty fishy that a company which lost $10.4 million last year somehow had a hard time springing for the $35 yearly registration fee, when they plan on building their internet-related company around that name.
Of course a developer could implement it — the point is that (in the questioner's opinion), because of Sun's lack of foresight wrt XML and providing such facilities, developers have no choice but to implement it themselves or go searching for someone else's code.
Good luck. Jini's been a flop so far. So much so, that Sun has even joined Microsoft's UPnP Forum (Universal Plug and Play), its direct competitor. That's the problem with this whole article. The Sun guy comes up with some digging zingers, but it seems like it's done to obfuscate the facts, which he blithely skips over, namely Java's openness, SOAP, XML, UDDI, Sun's web services strategy, and I could probably come up with more if I went back to read the article again. Maybe he thought nobody would care, just as long as he said "Chuck" enough times. *shrug* It came off at about the usual Scott McNealy maturity level.
Well, Sony and Microsoft have ongoing business dealings with each other, so it's highly doubtful that Sony would want to piss on one of their partners like that. Not that it would stop some other company from doing it, since XBOX Technologies' market cap as of yesterday's closing bell was only $6.6 million. (Although such a ploy would be pretty obvious to the patent office.) Of course, with Bill Gates making 125 dollars per second (last time I heard it reported, anyway), it would only take him about 14.7 hours to make the money to buy up all their outstanding shares.
Just looking over their filing for fiscal year 2000, and it looks like they lost $10.4 million on only $879,000 of revenue. Doesn't exactly seem like these guys will be much trouble for Microsoft.
On a side note, when looking some of this stuff up, I noticed that Google indexes PDF documents now. How long have they been doing this? Pretty cool...
Well, FWIW, Nicollet changed their name to XBOX Technologies on 3 August 1999, and the first reference on DejaNews to Microsoft's Xbox refers to a 2 September 1999 article from Next Generation magazine.
This tech company was so concerned with the value of the name "Xbox", yet they never tried to get the xbox.com domain, which Microsoft owns? They changed their name from Nicollet Process Enginerring to XBOX Technologies two months before Microsoft filed for the "Xbox" trademark. I'm pretty sure that rumors were floating around about the Xbox name before Microsoft filed for the trademark, which was why everyone was speculating about the name.
So...anyone know when leaks first started appearing that Microsoft would name the system "Xbox?" Or if XBOX/NPE company is a "trademark squatter" and have filed for trademarks with a lot of other names that they don't use? If their ownership is a joke, they don't have much of a chance here.
Sorry, but desiring to keep your desire for beefcake out of full public view doesn't come close to equating with being slaves for hundreds of years because of your skin color.
What is your experience with embedded systems? Your post sure sounds like you don't have any at all, but since you're giving out advice, surely you must have some. Please settle this seeming contradiction.
Of course, the people who have won millions from the lottery or slot machines are currently laughing their heads off at your ramen noodle-eating ass.:)
I don't think they were blatantly advertizing either , but I'm not sure how anyone who is at all familiar with the community for years can claim not to have known that Allman is gay. It's just like one of those things that you just know and accept as being the case — Stallman fat, Allman gay, etc. — never really knowing where you originally learned it. This has been known for a while now, and my only surprise is that everyone is acting like this is some new revelation or something.
If being gay is inherent, please explain Anne Heche for us doubters.:)
Your last line makes me wonder if I fell for a troll, when you do exactly what the original poster complained about gay activists doing. I.e., getting in on the coattails of someone else's misery. He was referring to the Holocaust, and you respond to it by doing your best to equate anti-gay attitudes to anti-black attitudes. Every time a gay activist compares their struggles to the struggles that black Americans went through, they lose more of their credibility.
The football was just as real as any CFL, WLF, college, or high school game. The NFL isn't the final arbiter on what is or isn't football. Personally, I'd rather watch an NFL game with teams I really cared about than any XFL regular season game, but the NFL's gotten kinda bland.
As for the cheerleaders, I don't know why people were talking about them, or why people keep using the term "scantily clad" to describe them. Give me the tease of a Dolphin or Raider cheerleader bouncing around in a loose skirt anyday over the lame hotpants of the XFL cheerleaders or Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders anyday. (And this is coming from a Dallas fan.)
The best thing that the league could do would be to kill those cringingly horrible wrestler commentaries and locker room skits (QB Clement to cheerleader: "I'm hoping for deep penetration." *salacious nod*). I love football and forced some other people to watch it with me, and when things like that would come on, I was hoping the earth would open up and swallow me whole.
I'll be tuning in this coming weekend, though, since 3 out of the 4 games this past weekend were actually pretty competitive.
Yep, I know that's the first thing wanna I do when I go to a metropolis like NYC — congregate with nerds. Lord knows it's tough to find entertaining things to do in New York.:)
no it was mac old macs = tall toaster old apple ][ = electric typewriter w/ tv new macs = see thru pcs new pcs = ugly macs rs6000 = pretty cool looking sgi numa setup = really cool looking

Huh? They saw Novell, OS/2 and the Mac as a threat, too, and acted accordingly. I think we know how those turned out. Someone seeing you as a threat doesn't mean that you beat them. Maybe it means that the only reason you got as far as you did was because potential enemies didn't pay attention until now.
If you're going to say silly things like "Linux has won the serverroom," it's kinda hard to go around accusing anybody else of problems with the truth.
My opinion on it? Quit telneting into it and and install the dang free SSHD from the link that I mentioned above already!!:P Then go grab PuTTY (a Win32 ssh client, but great for all kinds of terms) if you're going to be connecting to it from another Win32 box.
As far as stopping and starting services from the command line, use "net (start | stop) servicename". For example, now that you've installed SSHD (you did install SSHD, right?;) ), you can stop the telnet service, which is named "TlntSvr" by typing "net stop TlntSvr".
To start it back up:net start TlntSvr
To list all running services:net start
One other thing, is that the services have both a short name and a long name (at least it seems like they all do). You can use either in the net start/stop command, but if the name of the service contains a space, you need to put quotes around the service name, like: net start "Perl Socket Service"
Just a few points: the Win2K command prompt does give you a lot of remote control options. Hell, just use PerlScript, JScript, etc. if you want or need to. I'm trying to be informative here, not to flame you, but I have the feeling that you're compaining about the command prompt because you're not very knowledgeable about it — for example, if you were familiar with it, you surely would've known that you could use tlntadmn.exe to change the logon verification options for the telnet server. NTLM is a better way to connect, because it's not sending your password across the network in cleartext (well, it's not even sending it encrypted, either). But if you really wanted to turn it off, to work with clients that can't do NTLM, tlntadmn.exe lets you do it. Also, why are you using telnet instead of SSH anyway? Death wish?
Hey, I love football and all, and I wouldn't complain about getting showered with 1000 dollar bills, but I think Bill Gates took the high road this week when he donated $100 million to AIDS research.
On a related note, didn't one or more of the Slashdot guys say that they'd be donating some of the money they made on the VA Linux IPO? Did anything ever come of that? (Just curious, I really have no idea one way or the other.)
