I think the coolest thing about this post is that someone actually checked to see if the site was cached on google. Many a time I have clicked on a/. link to see the site unreachable or dropped.
My zone usually arrives at about 9PM after about 3 or 4 beers and usually ends about 5 hours and 10 more beers later passed out with my head on the keyboard.
I think right now the movie industry is mainly marketing to the idea, 'Our movie isn't as bad as the other ones.' Remember when reviewers actually had an opinion and didn't write to justify why they keep wasting moments of their lives seeing bad movies?
I spent some time in the warez scene a number of years ago (something i no longer take part in) and the thing that always shocked me was how incredibly easy it was to crack the software. I realize that in a perfect world there should be no need for protection. But what we have here is far from a perfect world and the fact remains that software piracy does exist. Why then are the protection systems applied to software about as effective as using a cheesecloth to hold back a river?
Endlessly, a crack is available the moment a new release comes out. Shouldn't this be an indication of an insufficient protection system?
"I suspect that talking about "open source" won't
mean a lot to your constituency. However, you can
say that you have ideas about how to streamline
governmental IT budgets without cutting services."
And of course always have the facts standing by. All you'll need is one picky, tech savvy reporter asking the questions.
It's true. If you are a master of the command prompt you have far more verstility and power at your findertips. This is not for everyone. I will note here that, the one problem I have with say an NT system over a *NIX platform is that NT lacks the command prompt versatility. I am often left staring blankly at an NT screen for up top 1 min trying to remember where the little icon was in the Administration window... i would much rather just type 'apachectl restart' (for example).
This is a broad statement and may be true, in part, across the many levels of the Canadian judicial system. In direct reference to : "the Canadian government wants total control over what Canadians read and watch..." Does this exist? I have seen far more 'liberal' tv programming on CBC than would ever be aloud on American television. However, it must be noted that, if one was to look closely one might see the subtle differences between Canadian and American broadcasting standards, one might notice: In general, that Canada allows more nudity, swearing, drug usage/references whereas the US allows more violence but tends to censor out the former.
The DirectTV situation stems from the quasi-post-socialism, CRTC induced doctrine that is the current state of Canadian broadcast entertainment... is this changing? My province (Alberta) seems to be more progressice than the rest of the Nation. Any thoughts?
I always found IRC to be my best resource for finding quick answers. It's best if you know some people but most computer oriented IRC channels devoted to Linux should have someone willing to help you out.
I don't understand wtf screenshots tell us about an OS. If whistler was open source we would have partial, if not full specs about the expected performance of the OS. Sure, it looks 'new' but not really... I remember installing betas of 98 and (of course) finding them totally unreliable and thinking to myself... 'well, things look kinda different, but how does it perform?'.. it didn't (doesn't).
I decided to wait with W2k for the final RC and was pleasantly surprised. I found the most stable ms release to date and aside from the numerous driver updates I had to perform an overall 'ok' system. So, my point is, 'what is the objective of MS Whistler and what happened to Neptune?'
This is not a new story...

Somehow I still manage to get work done.

All I can say is: Agreed.

Don't get me wrong. I WANT ONE. However, upon looking at one I have to wonder... 'How the F%@k do you land the thing!?'
Why is the reverse engineering of DWG any different from the DeCSS? What are the legal ramifications?
perhaps, in the classic MS formula, they are 'hedging their bets'
