who wonders how RedHat can possibly do everything they announce. Every other day they announce a partnership with someone. Aren't they getting spread out a bit? I haven't seen them posting on monster or dice or techies or anywhere wanting Linux gurus (I would have at least tried to get a job there). Just wondering...
I live in Indy. I don't see how they are going to enforce this. The biggest reason being that most the arcades I am aware of (in malls) are UNsupervised. I have never seen an employee to give refunds let alone someone to babysit. Then again most of the Arcades in the malls suck anyway because of their 3 year old games (IE MK3). Blockparty is about the only place I can think of that has new games and has employees. Therefore the only place that can enforce this.
You are such a stupid fuck with no clue what you are talking about Do you feel better? It feels good to resort to explatives when you have nothing intelligent or creative to say doesn't it.
So we agree then. Bundling or even making it part of the OS (turn on "browse in seperate process") is fine so long as you don't force vendors to bundle it with their systems in order to get rid of your only competetion. I've NEVER had IE crash on me under 2000. Under 9x it's got about the same reliability as Netscape on Linux. The only diference is that under 9x if you don't turn "browse in seperate process" on then you can loose your whole system.
How did you manage? Did you BUY Netscpae in a store? That's what I used to have to do. ISPs couldn't LEGALLY give you a browser that you had to pay $50 for in the store. Now, with people downloading browsers for FREE makes spending $50 in a store very foolish. You need SOMETHING to go get the current version of whatever you want. Choice is the issue here, not if your OS comes with a browser. When MS forced vendors to bundle IE and then support it they crossed the line.
I agree with you on this. There is no logical reason to make IE it's own company.
I do, however, side with MS on IE being part of the OS. Let's say you boot Win98 for the first time. You now want to go get the latest and greatest version of Netscape. How does the average user go about doing this? Granted you can ftp from a command line. But your average user won't know about that. You have to have a browser of some sort bundled within the OS. I'm not disputing that MS went after Netscape with both guns blazing, that was wrong of them and they should be punished in some way. The breakup into two companies would suffice. Three is a bit to much. IE is a good product, I just don't think it could make it on it's own.
Wouldn't it be odd to see IE for *NIX? I always said I'd pay to have IE 5.x on my Linux boxen, but I never thought it would happen.
I know. I happen to work for a MS Solution Provider. Getting them to send me to RH training would take a miracle. I'm not joking, God would have to threaten my practice manager with damnation before they would even consider letting me go. Looks like it's more self study for me...
Come come now. Not everyone who has an MCSE is the devil's child. I got my MCSE becuase of the pay increase where I work. I'm looking into becoming an RHCE simply because corps love certs (and linux rocks the free world). You could go to an interview and tell them you have 10 years experience as a Sysadmin and get no where some places. But tell them "I've got my (insert cert) and have 2 years experience" and you can name your price. It's dumb yes, but corps are dumb.
Since this is at the bottom of the page aren't they not responsible for pretty much anything said in this forum? I don't know much about the law, but I would think that about the worst they could do would be to get the IP of the posters from/. logs and take the poster themselves to court. It wouldn't be impossible to track them down, but it wouldn't be worth the effort. Even then, if the poster covered themselves with "this is just information, us it to break any law and it's your ass not mine" statement they might be ok. MS is being stupid. This would lead to even more bad PR if they took/. to court.
Then there are those of us who are forced to use Windows @ work but are smart enough not to open atachements from people you don't know. It and Id10T issue, not really an OS issue. Granted Windows makes it easy to for Id10t users to screw themselves by being dumb, but you could have that even in *nix, it'd just be harder to do. If you lock your users down enough they wouldn't be able to change the registry. I prefer to set users up this way, but most clients want their users to have admin rights on the their PC. Then when stuff like this happens I just set back and say "I told you so..."
Scum? It's not like he killed someone. Yeah, he caused a lot of money to be lost by some big names, but he lost 5 years of his life. He has said he has seen the error of his ways, let him become a functional member of society again. If you do lot let non-violent felons integrate back into society they will continue down that path that landed them in prison in the first place. It costs about 40K a year to keep people in prison. That is tax money I would rather spend on education.
IANAL either but... I think what you are talking about is that you can't write a book about your crimes that landed you in prison in the first place. For example it would be illegal for a killer to write a book/script detailing his murders. I don't see how they can stop Mitnick from speaking. As long as he isn't saying "this is how I hacked into Novell..."
I just came from my local computer hardware store about 3 hours ago. They were having a similar problem with the copermine chips. Everything above 600 Mhz was sold out for BOTH Intel and AMD. The fact that AMD is sold out so early is a good thing really. It means that they have moved on and are probably ramping up for the Thunderbird and Spitfire chips. I can't wait to see how the new chips perform. I'm predicting that the on-die cache of the new chips is going to show Intel the tailpipes yet again. Intel should get used to being second best...
Man, I hope your right. Even since I was a zit faced teenager playing a decker in shadowrun I've been dreaming of this. Here I come Matrix!
I do see a downside to neuo interfaces though. Remember chippies and the BTL chips in shadowrun? I can see some asswhole actually designing a new drug-chip that stimulates the pleasure centers in your brain directly. After you've done that...screw crack.
Yes it will scan with fsck on it own. It doesn't always fix it though. What it does do is promt you for the root password for maintainence. The average user cannot work from the command line let alone figure out which/dev/hdx is having problems.
I know. What I was trying to say is I hope USB now works so it would help bring down the learning curve so the masses can enjoy Linux too. The fsck example was just that...an example of why Linux is simply to hard for them right now.
If it does maybe then people will take Linux seriously on the desktop. If it doesn't work soon Linux is doomed to a life among us geeks. I love Linux, but right now I would NOT want to even dream of having Linux on my mom's computer. I have enough trouble supporting all the stupid questions I get for Winows. Can you imagine telling Id10T users how to log on as root to run fsck because they turned the power instead of typing halt. Maybe 2.4 will help the learning curve in some ways.
Let's see....at $25 per person that signs up for nextcard it'll only take 24,000,000 people to save Iridium.;)
I an see applications for it though. I'd love to have a GSM phone (not that I leave my state much) but in theory you could just pay for the phone and have free calling for life. Granted someone has to pay for the data pipe on land but you could do that with advertising. It could be sorta like Sprint's wireless web only global and with advertising to pay for the land pipe. I can see why they want to save it, I just don't think it will happen for 600,000,000. The bankruptcy courts will take much much much less for it. They get a write off even if they take a massive loss. But at 7 billion anything is a massive loss.

Mech Warior used to. Or didn't they call it something else when it was in the arcade? I can't remember.
I live in Indy. I don't see how they are going to enforce this. The biggest reason being that most the arcades I am aware of (in malls) are UNsupervised.

Banking is obviously one of the killer apps for this kind of environment. How would you go about doing that and stay anonymous like cash?

AOL is not a browser, and it uses IE too.

Is that what that was yesterday afternoon? I thought everyone was just checking out the MS story and hammering the new servers.

Nope, you can't write on your killings. Something about the victim's family's rights. I've seen this on multiple news magazine shows.

To answer your question I use Mandrake 7.0.
/dev/hdx is having problems.
