I know that the supreme court may be busy from time to time, but it seems to me that they should be a little more proactive. Right now, for things like this, it seems to be "lets screw it to the people until someone can afford to make it to the system to us."
It would be nice if (at least on huge legislation like this) they would take a look at it and say "this is crap - it's gone."
Then again, if they did, then as RIAA/MPAA...er...congress...yeah... is drafting the bill it might help them create a more bullet proof bill.
Universe Pack 2 has been out since June which fixes this hole. It is not our fault that the various gods running the universes can not be bothered to check for updates to their cosmos once in a while.
Yeah...I have a 512K cable modem, and I can usually get around that. About the only high bandwidth I use is pulling down files from work.
Personally I like the low latency.
But, the damn cable modem gets addicted to one machine's MAC. My house is wired and if I wanted to use my notebook in the living room, it is about a 45 minute process to get the cable modem to understand that the machine behind it changed.
So, by using NAT, it is always just one machine to the cable modem...and behind the router, it is usually just only one machine on at a time anyway. I guess that makes me a thief.
Oh yeah...there is the other reason that I use NAT. Half the time if I don't keep the connection constantly going, when I go to get on, the DHCP server doesn't have any IP addresses left - so this way I don't have to worry about that. And THEY want to provide me more IP's?
Glad I could help...this is the way/. used to be - discussions and helping people. Too many political based articles lately just pissing people off left and right!
did you compile in netlink (and routing messages under that) that RH7.2 needs? It's under the networking menu - and if you search on Deja you can find that you need this for RH7.2 due to the way the ifup script now works.
I like this show. It was interesting, plus I like the fact that not all the aliens have funny ridges on their nose.
However, they need to find a damn timeslot for it and keep it there. I haven't seen the show for quite a while because it seemed every week it was on at a different time, or pre-empted.
Nice way to develop viewers.
And yes...I know my problems would be solved if I could convince my wife of the benefits of a Tivo!
Not all hacking comes in over the internet. At the hospital when my kids were born, they have data jacks on the wall and devices plugged into them. What if I was to unplug the monitor, plug a notebook in and start causing havok on their internal network?
A much bigger threat to Microsoft than Linux is market stagnation. 90% market share means you have to look to other markets for customers (Xbox, keyboards, mice, Pocket PC), try and sell your product over again to the same people (XP), or change to a rental structure (.NET).
The thing is they have the ability to do this with the majority of the application market.
Oh...you want the new version of Exchange with the IM and Netmeeting tie in. Well..sorry to inform you that Exchange2k doesn't run on NT4, you need to move to Win2k. And you should upgrade that PDC as well since it will let you use Active Directory. And so on.
The only trick they really need to do is to keep making sure that they keep interest in new versions of their applications and it'll drive the OS sales.
As for the golden oldies, isn't the speech/voice stuff in Office XP? just upgrade to winxxxx so you can run it, etc...:)
Big ass difference. The drivers you pointed to are for interfacing it via something called a "Menelli box". The sourceforge effort is for plugging it directly* into the parallel port.
Finding a powerglove may be next to impossible now. Finding a menelli box is to the next magnitude.
Either way you shake it, the powerglove still bites...but is fun to play with
(*) Well, as directly as you can since the connectors are different, but you can run wires from the powerglove into the parallel port holes and it works.
I've been working for GNOME since years before there was a GNOME. In 1983, while formulating plans for the GNU operating system, I decided it ought to include a window system.
C'mon - when he puts these two sentances together. What do you think he is trying to imply?
Knowing MS, they'll smile and say they are glad to open up IE. Then they'll give the source for the menu's favorites and the wrapper around the Microsoft HTML Control. Oh that...that's a part of the OS - we don't have to share that with you.
I guess they should also sue GE and American Standard, since my fridge and toilet also make me miss commercials.
If miss commercials, it does nothing to affect the incoming that a network has made selling that time. True - if a majority of viewers started using these and skipping commercials, then the value of that time goes way down, but we are nowhere near that point, and by the time it gets there, I'm sure there will be another revenue stream in place.
As for the sharing thing - how stupid are they? First off - I don't really understand how they can get so paranoid over something they are BROADCASTING - we're giving it away, but no one else can. (Simplistic - hell yes).
So anyway, I tape a show cause I'm out doing something and miss it when it is on. So, that lets me become a loyal viewer, so I am more likely to tune in when it is on next time.
So, someone else misses it so I send it to them. Same thing - viewer recruitment.
They should be embracing the fact that it is helping people see their shows they may miss and creating a stronger, more loyal viewiership.
As for the commercial thing - the people skipping the commercials would probably have done the same thing with video tape or just left the room anyway.
Guess I'll be scared of a lawsuit next time I tape Friends or something and let my office mate borrow the tape.
No it does not. the LOGIN protocol works with the SMTP AUTH crap that outlook has built in. The SPA has nothing to do with it. You are thinking of the "My server requires me to login to send e-mail"

Just once I'd like a single edged sword

Fine...keep the CD's and manual ;)
If you subscribe to high-speed access, you don't get to keep the past months bandwidth when your subscription expires. Or cable, or phone service.
Not that I think subscriptions for software is a good thing

Yuh...Ford thought the same thing - we have this car that we can offer to our users without thinking about how they could be used in a crime.
Didn't the courts just say this was a bogus argument in gun crimes?
The IOC - don't you know...congress gave them ownership over Olympic and therefore they think they own anything similar.

True...but the original point was someone thinking that only machines hooked to the internet could get hacked.
Saw it on some of the darker corners of usenet today - incomplete of course.
:(
Sigh...wonder if the final release will lock up my machine like the tests
Sorry...I left out the part about the port on the wall being labeled with an IP address...guess that's kinda important :)

Actually IIRC, it was more for violating the patent of "using a glove as an input device". The design of VPL and Mattels was night and day.

C'mon - when he puts these two sentances together. What do you think he is trying to imply?
Okay...so in 1983 when he started thinking about his OS, and that it should have a GUI interface, therefore he is the grand-father of GNOME?
That's not CTF-Face, it's CTF-LavaGiant.
:)
If they can't get that right, do you really want them writing your Unreal drivers?
Damn...I need a cave
I would be that Mr. Carlin never had access to usenet...it sounds like something that you could probably find in some of the newsgroups :)
