Cygwin XFree86 has some bugs that cause blue screens consistently.
The first part of this statement is true. I'm sure that either Cygwin or XFree86 (which are two separate projects, by the way--think if someone called XFree86 on RedHat "Linux XFree86") have bugs.
However, Cygwin is completely user-level code. The only thing it possibly might do is scratch a Microsoft or 3rd party (usually Anti-Virus) bug. It cannot cause a system crash, especially not on NT-derived systems. Google for "cygwin blue screen" if you don't believe me.
If you think you've found something that does, report it.
What's the issue?
If it's the problem with SMTP servers saying they're
down when they're not, you need to edit the check_smtp.c file and remove the check for CRLF
in the plugins source
as described here.
Funny, someone answered me quickly when I asked about it.
If you didn't give any more details than the post I'm replying to, I can see why you didn't get an answer.
they were fired for violating a non-existent public forum non-disclosure agreement, and for identifying themselves as a Roadrunner employee
First of all, the employers need to get all their support personnel to sign NDAs. I worked tech support for a small regional ISP and we were not allowed to tell people what brand of AS we used (this could change), the speed of our uplink, the model of our gateway router, details of our network map, etc. What's wrong with that? (I should mention that we also always recommended hardware-based modems and customers could bring in their PC for connection troubleshooting FOR FREE. This was a great ISP.)
Second, though, these tech support people should know better than to identify themselves as employees of the ISP. That makes it sound like it's official company policy when it's really just some guy saying "try this... it might help".
A task group within the IEEE... 802.11 working group... is now working on a tough new security standard called 802.11i. However, it isn't expected to ratify that standard until September 2003, so the Wi-Fi Alliance took a "snapshot" of 802.11i.
Great! More non-standard possibly incompatible
implementatins ahead.
For home users, the eventual goal is to have the new security features activated out of the box
This would actually help a lot, as long as "activated" doesn't mean "password set to 1234".
This article also didn't say anything about vender support, especially whether all the existing 802.11b gear will get new firmware. This is a really big deal for someone like a Uni or Wireless
ISP where students/customers are going to try to buy the cheapest stuff they can find and expect it to work.
Anyway, my point is that a lot of these Lberal Arts kids are going to be interested in knowledge about a wide area of subjets--that's the whole focus of a Liberal Arts education. Computers is another area (though, today it would be extra interesting since everyone uses them but so few know how the "magic" works) to learn about. Of course, there are always some who don't want to learn.
I was wondering about textbooks or notes and looked up the course info at Princeton's site.
It's COS 109... unfortunately they don't have
many details but searching for K himself led me
to
his notes and problem sets (link is HTML, but notes are pdf). He obviously used cal(1) for the schedule, too.
This isn't technically banking, but Citi
didn't support Mozilla for online credit
card management until recently. About a year
ago I complained
to customer support and got a standard
response. A few months later CitiCards.com
started working on Mozilla. (Related or not?
Who knows. But it couldn't have hurt.) I emailed
support again and thanked them.

neither was UNIX. UNIX is best in trusted, academic settings where it grew up. But, after some big problems with too much trust people figured out how to make it at least "secure enough."
MS needs to stop complaining and fix their buffer overflows.
Seriously though, do you do any sort of screening
or advice on use of effects, or just follow whatever the customer ordered? Surely you don't want your
name plastered on effects that were an embarrasment.
Well, almost.:^)
Parrot is in the early phases of its implementation. The primary way to use Parrot is to write Parrot assembly code, described in PDD6.
Use Perl6--Write some Parrot assembly, and help out!
A word of warning about that easy-to-skip chapter:
Cisco's Aironet series supports the PCF. So if you really want to understand what's going on, read that chapter too. So just because it's not "widely implemented" doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
I've also been very impressed with the Aironet
gear. Reliable, lots of options, good interface.
If you've just got a few nodes it probably isn't worth the cost, but if you're serious get Cisco
(or Lucent).
I have to admit, I didn't read the whole thing. I'm
lazy, it's long. But, I can see right now that access is going to result in this testimony
being used in a lot of what historians call
'secondary' sources.
Newspapers love these quotes like
"property that we exhibit in theaters... is going to be so eroded in value by the use of these unlicensed machines, that the whole valuable asset is going to be blighted."
And I definitely see something like "Unlicenced Machines: Comparing Anti-VCR and Anti-PC Arguments
from the Film Industry" being accepted at an
undergrad research conference.
This means more people hear about, (hopefully)
more people think about, and more people tell
others about these nonsense arguments.
I've had just about enough of you and the Japanese. Will you please shut up about the Japanese?
The only reason I mention the Japanese is the
car manufacturing example I used.
(Did you look at the link I provided?)
The principles
of quality control are universal and were
actually imported by the United States:
The quality movement in Japan began in 1946 with the U.S. Occupation
Now, why would Japanese companies like Toyota
(which started basically in someones garage) be
able to take market share from companies like
Ford (who began mass production)? Because they
actually applied the quality control
principles. Ford, &c., were selling an inferior
product, which the "lemon laws" were meant to
protect consumers against.
The same is true for software. Maybe we'll
get some "lemon software" protection, but the
only thing that's really going to get compaies
like Microsoft to start making reliable software
is real competition.

Well, as long as those lazy open-source developers hurry up and follow the guidelines.

Without Google, I'd only have known about the fall of Constantinople and the end of the Hundred Years' War!

Enjoy!
By the way, DiscoverCard.com worked the whole time.
Oh, and my bank ehbt.com works fine. It's a third-party thing from fundsexpress.com FYI.
While preventing "restrictive" licences is a good idea, it would be a much better idea to mandate a completely unrestrictive licences instead.
I mean, if they say "no GPL" what about MPL or any other OSI license? They need to mandate everything under Public Domain.
Ah, you fail to understand jouralism math.
Unix was around for a while, and then *split*,
from which time you of course count twice the number of years.
I see no error here.

Humpf. So where do I sign up for that?
specifically might be a better word.
Had to read it four times.
neither was UNIX. UNIX is best in trusted, academic settings where it grew up. But, after some big problems with too much trust people figured out how to make it at least "secure enough."

it's the lack of Slashdot articles.
See ya!

TuxReports had snapshots of the Ximian installer.

Licensing? Patents?
Someone care to explain what the team did about
these little problems?

Hillsboro will because a certain microprocessor manufacturer based in that city can subsidise the costs of Microsoft software.
Intel is actually not based in Hillsboro, just has a few billion-dollar fabs there. And yes, they subsidize the district's IT budget.
I've seen several posts on the Linux-Aironet mailing list of people using stuff with Linux on handhelds. http://csl.cse.ucsc.edu/mailman/listinfo/aironet
