Imagine if Bruno somehow got teleported into our time -- perhaps with other standout intellects like Benjamin Franklin. One could picture him adjusting with relish to an era so enamored of flamboyant eccentrics. In a month, he would be on all the talk shows. Of course he would, he somehow got teleported into our time. That man should be on *every* talk show.
...along the lines of Soul Calibur, not this 2.5D (as coined by Nintendo). It does look nice, and it might be an arcade game that uses the VMS(I'm not sure about that, but there's one on the horizon), but I would be more interested in a 3D Hulk vs. Wolverine battle. I think Power Stone 2 is most wanted, tough. 4 Player with net battles. Could be good.
Metcalfe:-Worse, Crusoe is touted for running Intel X86 software, and in particular, Microsoft Windows. smeng58:-"Sad when a computer pundit appears not understand what x86 code is." I think he has a fair understanding of what the code is, he seems to be infering that Crusoe will run Windows specific code optimally. Is it unrealistic that code-morphing could listen out for specific Windows calls and to translate them into a more efficient single call to the processor? Say, for instance, a chip subroutine exists which can instantly trap a BSOD without the crash getting to the kernel, to allow you to save the machine state for recovery? What use would that be in Linux?
What is the codebase for the current AOL5 browser(upgrade of death)? If AOL 5.0 is based on IE, and the next revision of AOL will be based on the Mozilla codebase, wouldn't this explain the version increment? It seems plausible that the grand plan might be to align the version numbering with a view to diminishing the visibility of one or the other, I'll leave the identity of the most likely candidate to the reader...

all his enemies like Green Goblin, Dr Oct, and Venom, are just foes, but not a constant one. Isn't a sentient suit (Venom) that used to live on the moon enough for you? Anyway, Raimi is a fine director, I don't care much for Xena or Hercules, but he does a damn good job at the helm of both. nb, I especially like the fact that Xena's weapon isn't a phallic symbol, but a instead.
Why would you want this on dead tree? Perhaps when smart, nano-based paper is a reality, it would be a good thing, but right now, it would be at least a month out of date. Anyhow, do you really want to pick up a magazine that has 'first page' emblazoned upon it?
Pity about the @Stake web site - they seem to have had the "web is art" or "my browser is the only browser" designers in (or perhaps the black on black I got is an 'underground' thing).
Will it be be open sourced ? Or will it follow the same model as the Windows version, a 30 day trial license that doesn't mean 30 consecutive days? I do use this on and off for testing/layout purposes, and it's refreshing to have a tool that doesn't expire just when it's needed. Kudos to the Opera team, my conscience dictates I really should buy it now.
That makes me wonder if the computers are going to be "linked" and if so, how? IIRC, there was talk of utilising the IP protocol we all know and love to communicate between 'craft' for want of a better expression. details can be found here. As it stands, far too many of my packets are routed to Mars for this to be a real innovation...
I strongly suspect the NT2K installer has problems with Non-MS partitions.
Uh, no, not here. FAT16, FAT32, NTFS4, NTFS5, Linux Native & Linux Swap, happily co-existing alongside each other. My problem is now which OS was I trying to boot, and can I hit the correct keys in under 5 seconds. Perhaps the notes are for those companies who employed a protohacker that slowly became a Open Source millionaire and buggered off leaving them in the lurch? "Hello, is that MS tech support? Someone has installed a Leenux on one of my servers..."
We just better hope it's dealt with quickly, I for one don't trust the shuttle to be in the air in 11 days time. It's just reminds me of the threat of Skylab.
Yup, I had to endure it to make my way through someone else's code recently, I don't think having to download 68Mb of patches before I could use it is endearing. IMHO, I found both Visual Cafe and Visual Age for Java hugely preferable. I do agree that it would be nice to see it turned into something useful, but I am rather jaded, and somehow, I doubt I'm alone in that. The issue seems to be that it won't feature in Visual Studio 7 (ETA 4Q 2000), so what does that leave? VC++ VB FoxPro Visual Modeller (Which is rose compatible) Interdev (which might actually be good by then) and their new challenger, was it called COOL? I don't think I could seriously use a program called Visual Cool...
one can only hope rational can make something good out of this, Visual J++ bites, the only nice part of it is the same ide as interdev. Shame interdev sucks compared to notepad tho'.
Well, perhaps it would have been a better idea to ask Fred Cohen's InfoSec list about 'cyberterrorism', as some of the members might have a better idea of real world scenarios, but I don't think it's such a flawed idea. Sure, it might be a bit biased to open source solutions, but it's a start. On the other hand, at least someone out there knows not to believe in that key cracker that the Sunday Times reported on. As an aside, if an AC is quoted in the Jane's piece, who get the lineage rate?
i thought i'd have a look at amazon.co.uk to see if there was a local press of the big-u available. alas, no, but there is this. And it's not cryptonomicon, since it's out in may in paperback. i wonder if the 4069bit error will have been fixed by then.

yeah, interface is quite amusing, it is worth reading. It was on my 'to read' list, but I finished cryptonomicon, and couldn't leave the house, so I didn't have a lot of choice. I think it's post big-u, and co-written with his uncle.
I claim my 10 points, and humbly point out that someone cracked that one higher in the thread. nb, I think you got the spelling correct. Was that the one where Adric bought the farm?
I run a windows based firewall at home on a POTS dial up, and in the space of an hour, I normally have attempts at telnet, ICQ, NetBIOS, NetBus, NetBusPro, BO & BO2K made, in addition to seemingly random ports.This of course not counting DoS floods and Christmas packets. If my forthcoming (A)DSL connection has as little attempts at a hack as Dvoraks, then I'll be happy.
I don't think the proofreader is in the land of nod. I'm guessing the point is that any user typing on a Dvorak keyboard is faster that John Dvorak typing on a qwerty board.

probably not for long.
Nice, no?
Well there's no conspiracy at work here, I assure you.

So, who owns http://www.@stake.com? Or is likely to be 0wn3d later?
So, now that you've created a viable business model and proved it can be done, what now for Time Magazines 'Person of The Year'?

I'm hedging my bets it will be fish shaped, and will fit into the inner ear.
well, how about it CBS? reps from other countries, and the last survivor is obviously from the best country.
