  1. Re:Discount on Microsoft Defies EU Commission · · Score: 1

    That's why I switched to vi.

  2. Re:Top ten Windows apps to install. on Top 10 Software Titles Every Home PC Needs? · · Score: 1

    It *is* good idea to install VNC (TightVNC/win32) and disable by default (with good password). If you have to, for example, clean up next worm invasion or install something you forgot like a firewall (Kerio).

  3. Re:Do younger minds absorb quicker? on Ageism in IT? · · Score: 1

    What about FORs then? Shouldn't you replace them with iterators?

    I've used opendx (.org) for realtime 3d modelling and it performs quite nicely if you have enough memory.

    AFAIK:

    OpenGL has to support every feature in spec, but if the hw doesn't support it then it is done by software (driver). DX is different because hw don't have support every feature and software 'emulation' isn't required.

    February 27, 1933

    The German Parliament (Reichstag) burns down. A dazed Dutch Communist named Marinus van der Lubbe is found at the scene and charged with arson. [He is later found guilty and executed].

    February 28, 1933

    President Hindenburg and Chancellor Hitler invoke Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution, which permits the suspension of civil liberties in time of national emergency. This Decree of the Reich President for the Protection of the People and State abrogates the following constitutional protections:

    Free expression of opinion
    Freedom of the press
    Right of assembly and association
    Right to privacy of postal and electronic communications

  13. Re:Different Cultures: Europe vs. the USA on The Assembly In Review · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you read through the FAQ on slashdot you'll see that the FAQ clearly says that slashdot very much IS US centric. The staff is mostly American I believe, and US news is more interesting to Americans than the rest of the world.


    Anyway it shouldn't be too hard to make new topic like 'Europe' or even mirror the site in Europe.

  14. Re:So, so wrong on Distastful Advertising Continues: "Gatoring" · · Score: 1

    Where does Burger King build a new store? Generally across the street from a McDonalds, right? They do this why? To attract people who are interested in their competitor's similar products.

    So you're basicly saying that if telco runs also an ISP it is OK for them to 'busy signal' competitors helpdesk because a) they can and b) they possibly get customers?

    The choise thingy is important there since you have already chose where to buy.

    cancel it day before. Repeat.

    an employer was free to root around archives of old mail to nail an employee.

    Why people don't use encryptation? Is it really that hard to use?

    Besides article says "Wiretap laws are violated, Brody said, only when an e-mail is intercepted from "intermediate storage" or "back-up protection storage" -- both of which automatically occur during the course of transmission -- or if the e-mail is viewed before the intended recipient has a chance to open it." like if you throw away opened letter it's not protected like unopened one, right? Where's the problem?
