Funny, Immigration and Customs must have different meanings in Canada. Here in the great white north they mean control of people coming into the country, and contol of goods coming into the country. Neither of those has anything to do with copyright law.
While I'd love to see that, as OSX is the most appealing part of a Mac to me, I think that the truth is more likely that they want Intel to be their #1 ARM supplier for the next round of iPods.
I'm not so sure this is a smart move on Cohen's part.
It'd be lovely to have another search engine for torrents, but I think the only thing keeping the *AA's from suing him like they did the owners of Kazaa is that he doesn't control any network that has shows/music or information on how to get shows/music.... He just created a protocol that a lot of pirates like to use.
I'm afraid that his search engine will end up either crippled to not display certain results or forcibly removed from the net just like most of the tracker sites.
This isn't really a new trick, we were getting these e-mails and blocking them out several months ago.
Just when I thought this technique had died out slashdot runs a story about it as if it were something new and cunning the virus writers had just come up with.
Given that most geeks get few enough phone calls to render an answering machine pointless, why do they need a PBX system?
How about to get FEWER calls?
My Asterisk system is set up so that incoming calls if coming from my cell phone go directly to voicemail main menu so I can pick up my messages on the road more easily. Incoming calls from friends whom I am able to identify by Caller ID ring the house phone as usual. Incoming calls that are not from a known Caller ID go to a menu (you know... press 1 for blah, 2 for blah blah...) that seems to have been just enough to turn the telemarketers away and still let legit calls in. (without any noticable change if CallerID catches them)
I also have a VoIP extension for my fiancee who lives in another town at the moment, so calls to/from her get routed over the internet and she can make calls out to local numbers here for free.
I have a feeling I'll have already downloaded and tried it by then, but thanks for the offer....and while I'd love to go to GenCon I've already got all my vacation time allocated for other events this year. Maybe I need to start my own business so I can give myself more vacation time.:)...nah, then I'd hardly ever work and I'd be too broke to do anything on those vacations.
Down-time isn't predictable in Linux....in case anyone missed how that was dripping with sarcasm....
Sure it is, I predict that the next down-time for my linux webserver will be when I take it offline and bring the new machine online. After that there should be another downtime when new hardware needs to be added, other than hard drives which will no longer cause downtime thanks to my raid controller in the new machine which I was able to afford by not having to pay $300 for an OS and another $1000 for the software to run on top of that.
Great now hopefully I can get at least one PDF viewer that can print this: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/files/PHB_v35_ch arsheet.zip with the labels for the 6 major stats intact.
Can someone who has already downloaded it try this for me? In every linux PDF viewer I've used it displays on the screen, but when you print it the STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIS, and CHA labels are blacked out.
It ships with the root account DISABLED! It threw me off at first, but the documentation clearly explains how to use sudo and why they decided it is better to set up the first user as a sudoer rather than set up an active root account and a dumbed down user account for day to day stuff.
That AMD 800 series chip is for 4 way and 8 way servers.
ie 4 or 8 dual core chips for 8 or 16 processors
That is not a fair comparison to a single chip dual core design. The 800 series is deigned to compete in the high end server arena, not the workstation arena.
Wait till the AMD dual cores that are designed for single processor motherboards hit then compare the prices.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but any invention can only be patented once.
We should set up a charity to patent these sorts of "prophetic" inventions, so that when the day comes that they can actually be implemented the patents will have expired and the technology will be free of any restrictive licensing.
I suggest these as starters: Cold Fusion Teleporters Personal laser weapons Warp drives Jump gates Nanobot based immune systems
ADAPTEC SATA RAID controller (16 port model, not the stinkin' 4 port version I just got) and 16 300GB disks (a total of 4.5TB in Raid 5)
Adaptec Serial ATA RAID 21610SA $995.00 16x 300GB SATA Drives $4133.60
TOTAL $5128.60
Save the rest for a dual core AMD mutiprocessor system in the fall. Anything left over goes towards a nice HDTV for the living room.
Oh, I suppose I should have included the hotswap enclosures for those drives, but I couldn't find the price to buy them seperately, but since they seem to add about $200 to the 4 drive version That's an extra $800 or so for the RAID array.
I don't think you could do that, the best you could probably do is the trusted 3rd party had to be a lawyer.
I would think it'd always be possible for a person who has a legit privacy concern to hire a lawyer to register the domain and handle that stuff for them.
Why were you downloading ISOs over a dialup line, that's what net install is for. download the set of floppies, then apt-get the stuff you actually need.
I've seen lots of SIP to POTS adapters for hooking traditional phones to a SIP PBX, but not the other end SIP PBX to POTS phone line.
If I can get such an adapter that would solve my problem of not being able to track down any single line FXO cards or suitable Intel winmodems (I bought 2 and they ended up not being the ones I ordered.)
I never claimed it was a standardized form factor, I only claimed that the mac mini really is small I'd consider anything Mini-ITX to be SFF as well... for precisely that reason, SFF isn't a standard, it's a description. Whereas this shuttle box is more like a mini tower, there's nothing small form factor about it.
I think that was just because the Mac mini has been getting a lot of press lately, so it's a familiar comparison point, and also because the Mac mini truely is SFF.
there is comprable usenet connection for linux that I am aware of..
I agree, there is. It's called usenet, and despite the lame story here yesterday it is not dead nor do you even have to pay for it usually (especially true if you are only wanting to read). There are also many wonderfully talented Linux folks on various IRC servers. irc.slashnet.org is fairly good.
Slashdot Mirror
You can use the side buttons properly in X, you have to set these options in your XF86Config or xorg.conf:
/etc/X11/Xmodmap :
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "Buttons" "7"
EndSection
Then add this to
pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5
Voila! next time you restart X you should have forward and back buttons.
CBC is campaigning to have a canadianized version of XM approved. (basically XM with some CanCon channels like CBC added to the list.)
So, yes, if CBC is pushing for it it will almost certainly make it across the border in the near future.

We'll see Mac OS X - x86 anytime soon?
While I'd love to see that, as OSX is the most appealing part of a Mac to me, I think that the truth is more likely that they want Intel to be their #1 ARM supplier for the next round of iPods.

That's funny. Actually, I think the Systm was never up.
He announced it on This week in Tech a couple weeks ago and all that was there so far was a logo.
Give him time, he hasn't even really started on it yet.
For once this is a case of slashdot linking to a page that's already not there, rather than taking it down with a massive slashdotting.
This isn't really a new trick, we were getting these e-mails and blocking them out several months ago.

I don't know but I did an apt-get install of sometthing yesterday and it down loaded GCC 4.0 as a requirement. ... but then I'm using Ubuntu Hoary.
I have a feeling I'll have already downloaded and tried it by then, but thanks for the offer. ...and while I'd love to go to GenCon I've already got all my vacation time allocated for other events this year.

Show me a gamer without $130 worth of gaming stuff purchased over the course of several months and I'll show you a gamer with a mean wife. :)
Now there's a sexist remark.
Almost half the gamers I know and play with are women.
Yes, it = AMD. You didn't expect Intel to mention the competition's name did you?
What POTS to SIP adapters do you use for this?
I've seen lots of SIP to POTS adapters for hooking traditional phones to a SIP PBX, but not the other end SIP PBX to POTS phone line.
