Afterstep was a fork of fvwm2 (a very old school window manager; think Redhat 4.2 and earlier). Both Windowmaker and Afterstep are recreations of the Nextstep GUI. When I tried AS (admittedly years ago), it still showed its clunky fvwm2 roots. All configs were in text files including the Wharf (called Icon Dock in Next). The dock on the Next had draggable icons which was pretty cool for its time (first came out in 1989), and WM had that too, so it was a closer imitation of the Nextstep GUI. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the AS Wharf supports drag and drop for launching files, but not for application icons.
An analog cell call is for all intents and purposes a public broadcast. Cellphone service and its laws and regulations evolved from wired phone service, but technologically it's most closely related to 2-way radios used by CBs, HAMs, police, fire and taxi dispatchers. It's really trivial to listen in. Legally, you could say that it's a private telephone conversation, but as a practical matter, you should remember that anybody with a radio tuned to the right frequency can listen in.
Shortwave radios were banned in Soviet Russia (this is not a Soviet Russia joke!). Do you really want to start down the road of banning radio receivers? And yes I know some kinds of radio receivers are already banned: scanners that receive cellphone frequencies, radar detectors in VA.
It's not just that, there's been some shady dealings from SCO's major owner, the Canopy Group: article here. Something about a stock swap using inflated SCO shares to acquire Vultus which is a web services firm also owned by the Canopy Group. What's surprising is how the hype and disruption and the $3billion lawsuit claim are so out of proportion to the money they're actually making from this fraud. Execs sell $1.2M of stock. Vultus deal was $3M. Microsoft pays $25M. Almost like a mugger killing a guy to steal 20 bucks.
Although it's an unrelated field, it's not hard to imagine that if our technology were that advanced, we would also have invented things like robots to do hazardous work, body armor for snowboarders and motorcyclists, and a greater emphasis on safety in the design of all things.
Like it or not, you do support them. Every time you buy CA grown vegetables, eat out in a restaurant, or patronize one of the countless other businesses that relies on cheap labor from illegal immigrants, you're giving them a job. It's one of those dirty secrets they'd rather sweep under the rug, but all those whitebread country club Republicans love cheap immigrant labor. Jail a few employers and get rid of the jobs, and the "problem" would be gone.
It's easy enough to make the paper trail anonymous. If there's a UID on the ballot, don't link it with the voter. Once the voter verifies the printed ballot, it gets dropped into the ballot box. The voter doesn't leave with the ballot.
Any factory or warehouse that big would already be using some kind of vehicle. Electric carts (similar to golf carts) cost less than Segways and haul a lot more people and cargo. Electric forklifts are common. Propane forklifts are clean enough for indoor use too. The Segway doesn't have a niche here.
People use DNSBLs like SPEWS and the various open relay lists because they work. If anything, the open relays lists block more legitimate senders than SPEWS. However, anyone using DNSBLs to block mail server should have some plan for whitelisting senders. In sendmail it's as easy as adding a line to/etc/mail/access:
Maybe michael is stuck in a timewarp. Flash MP3 players are so 1999. Sure, it's a little smaller and it has twice the memory for the same price as a '99 vintage Rio. That's about it. Even a crappy Creative Nomad I (emphasis on crappy, think parallel port transfers at 90KB/s) can do voice recording.
Well congratulations on your good luck with that junky 165W power supply, but I have my own data point. My system used to be a 1Ghz Duron (Morgan core) o/c'ed to 1.33Ghz and Geforce2 MX. The PS was an Enermax 300W that came with the case. I upgraded to a Ti4200, and it started locking up in 3D games. If I ran the CPU at stock speed, the lockups went away. I ended up buying an AthlonXP 2200 and a decent 360W PS (CWT) and no problems since. Very frustrating but fortunately no permanent damage.
According to the article Disney was already running Crossover Office, but it didn't support Photoshop. They contributed developers to add Photoshop support which is now working in Crossover Office 2.0. In return they probably got a big discount on site licensing, which is about $50/per seat for Crossover Office+Plugin.
That's good and all, but there should still be some incentive for the $10 buyer to not seek out the lower priced product. There's many ways to differentiate the product: different packaging and model name, a deluxe version will minimal extra features, selling through higher end retailers with better service. People won't like it you just say "we know you're willing to pay more so your price is double".
Not exactly, but it does allow sneak and peek warrants for secret searches where they try to break in undetected and never notify the suspect. In that scenario, you could imagine the Feds opening the computer to clone the hard drive and putting things back the way they found them. This would slow them down if the person took the dongle with them when he left the house.
Yes, they do leak charge over time. If you keep a flashlight and radio around for emergencies like blackouts, hurricanes, and earthquakes, it's still better to use alkalines in them. I use alkalines in remotes too. They easily last a few years. For everything else, it's NiMH rechargables.
Music is more than property or possessions. It's culture. The studios take our culture, repackage it, lock it up and sell it back to us. It's not like all this 'intellectual property' was created from the void by some oracle at the studio. We had a public domain with things like folk music, Shakespeare, Greek theater, etc.
To put your analogy in perspective: instruments + composition are to music what groceries + recipes are to cuisine.
It's not so much that it plays PS2 games on the exact same discs. It uses its own miniature disc, but the hardware is similar enough that PS2 games will easily port over, just like GBA and SNES games. And yes it would mean paying again for the same games.
It's a war of attrition, and Microsoft has way more cubic dollars to throw at the Xbox than Nintendo with the Cube. If only for that reason, MS is in a better position to survive than Nintendo. Their attitude is definitely win at any cost. Still, makes you wonder how long they can keep it up.
Not just that. Think about how much current technology might never have made it to market if they were invented today. Things like natural gas in homes, motorcycles, etc. I know insurance companies definitely hate motorcycles, and they'd ban them in a minute if they thought they could.
What motive is there to acquire large amounts of money if material objects are so abundant that they're free or nearly free? I know some things will still be scarce like energy and space (real estate), but desktop manufacturing is just one step.
Windows XP's built-in zip uses zlib. When zlib had the double-free bug last year, XP had to be patched too. Otherwise I don't think many people would've known about Microsoft using zlib.
Well, you'd think that with the egos involved someone else would have complained by now. Still, the rest is true. The "Open" in Open Group is for open standards. While not as open as Open Source, it's still better than the alternative of a vendor-proprietary mess.
I think the Windows error reporting service can only handle application errors and non-fatal system errors. If there was a BSOD or a hard freeze, the service wouldn't be running any more to report the crash, although theoretically it's possible for the service to check for a BSOD crash dump file and send a report after rebooting.
As far as the 5% have apps that crashed twice or more a day. That's not hard to imagine:
"'random shareware app' has generated errors." WTF? Run it again. "'random shareware app' has generated errors." There you go. 2 crashes.
Old versions of Yahoo Messenger crashed like that all the time, and Mozilla 1.4 still crashes like that, usually when I'm closing the app. And I turned off error reporting for privacy purposes.

You mean like Voice of America or Armed Forces Network? However to be fair, they aren't any more propaganda than, say, Foxnews.

"This article reads like an advert to me, is packed with buzzwords"
Maybe because it's a press release? hmmm
But seriously, someone else posted links to some better reviews in another thread.

Wouldn't it be easier to just run an antenna up the balloon tether and keep the radio on the ground?
