People keep saying TCP/IP, great, but they forget UDP.
I wouldn't want an internet without having UDP/port 53 (DNS), that wouldn't be much fun, trust me, although maybe I could be able to remember the IP-addresses of google if I really wanted to.
But atleast in the Linux world, _when you tested it_, you can fix the app yourself, you know exactly what changed in the kernel, and you have the code for the app (if it's opensource, anyway).
Sorry, but the structure of the Linux kernel is quiet good, a lot of it is very seperated and thus does it does not cause problems in other places when you fix something in an one part.
I'm not sure, but I think it has something to do with the very great number of programmers involved, you really _have_ to seperate everything really well, otherwise things will fall over everytime a junior kernel hacker creates a patch.
Just read the source, it's quiet structured (although I do have to say that things like the the fairly recent 2.6 Interactivity and Responsiveness improvements will probably make it easier to get timing problems).
Actually lynx can also handle images, as long as it's a link to an image. Because lynx can handle mime-types, it seems something like image/jpeg and it will run a viewer (I use fbi for viewing on framebuffer, works great !:-) ).
From one of the articles: The idea is to store Web pages on your hard drive upon your first visit to the pages, and then to limit the information you download on subsequent visits to those pages to only the data that changes, making for a faster download.
I'm not saying these kiosks aren't going to become more prevalent, but they won't replace actual human contact. Having previously worked in many service related jobs I know that people (especially older adults) will not allow this to occur.
People are getting more and more used to the situation of not talking to bank tellers, etc.
And to be honest more of the people that are old now, will be dead in 50 years.
Slashdot Mirror
If I were hacking an ATM with an onscreen-keyboard, I would definitly be using gloves. :-)
I don't think it would be a good idea to have my fingerprints on there.
Actually old processors can be had pretty easily, they are still used for a lot of embedded stuff.
Although all new embedded stuff is probably ARM (?).
Supposedly FAI is supperior to all of the above.
Because it seems more vendor neutral. It's not something I've checked, though. It's definitly something to look at, if you need such a thing.

That would help.
Not if pretty much everyone does so, which has a few good effects...
- wireless would be better off that way
- it might be the boost needed for IPv6/IPsec
I'm definitly all for it.
Actually, Mozilla is just as or even more powerfull, I have a few small hacks lying around that make Mozilla work more like IE (when needed).
Endianess is a funny thing. :-/
And no1 likes bug hunting because something thought it was nice the have Mac's instead of what's they have now (working).

Because LDAP is faster and easier to replicate.
I think what he probably did, for ones I didn't read the article, was make money from porn-site banner ads.

The DLL-hell of VS it self and all the software you create with it.
/bin/sh is not interpreted ? You don't consider it bloated ? Look better at Python, it's actually very elegant.

Makes me think about: http://rproxy.sourceforge.net/.
You can:
debian.org/ports/ia64/
You can compile your own kernel yourself, should you do desire, and if you have the proper hardware :-)
Actually, you can probably crosscompile it, you don't need the hardware, you need the hardware to run it, that should be all.
Think again, look at: mutt.org.
You may think text-mailers are lame, but mutt is fastest en most usefull mailer there is.
Although I don't know why, I sometimes switch to pine, most be something I'm missing, I guess Pine is easier.

So, I don't think that's a show stopper.
Unless commodity software can be customized easily.
Then you would need less coders from the second group or there would be more work done, I'm not sure.
Maybe you'd want to look into adodb.
Which means you'll have to upgrade w2k as well, as it builds on it, 50% of NT4-security bugs are also in w2k.
You'd think they'd have all bugs out there by now.
Maybe he installs new machines, as (part of )his job.
Actually, let's first wait before it get's some testing, then maybe we'll install it and try it and only then, we'll actually start to use it.
