Re:This _would_ make a damn cool bootloader
on
GTK+ without X!

C'mon...this is simple. You replace lilo with a stripped down version of the Linux kernel. You then boot that kernel to select which kernel to boot.
Think of the advantages:
- SMP support in your bootloader.
- multiple threads, one for each OS choice
Seriously, perhaps the original poster was talking about something to display status after the kernel was up, but while all the daemons, etc... were starting!
The framebuffer console is the replacement to SVGAlib. Instead of using SVGAlib as a means of doing graphics on the console outside of X, you can now just draw on the framebuffer console.
GTK+ sits on top of the framebuffer console...if there were no fb, GTK+ would then have to sit on top of SVGAlib. GTK does not use your video card directly as you said above. The framebuffer does.
Because, Santa, receiving AOL CDs doesn't cost you a penny, whereas receiving spam EMail does cost you.
Isn't the price of a stamp in the US going up in a few days?
Perhaps instead of charging people who have legit uses of mail, they should charge the junk mail people more. Every day someone wants to loan me $70000.
They must stop showing their stupid ads!!! That's how I feel!:)
Personally, I think the screen is too small (160x100), I think the flash mem is too small (512k). Does NiMH develop memories like the NiCd's? Not that I'd turn one down.
However, I can see that schools are probably gonna ban these given the 900mhz "whos-close-enough" network they have. Be good to be a student and convince the prof its just a fancy calculator though!!!:)
To answer the question, in the tech industry, it's approx. 6.3%. So yes, it's a little lower.
How many are Indian? How many are Asian? How many are White?
What if tomorrow, Iran sued Wal-Mart demanding they take all copies of the Swimsuit Issue of SI, Kathy Ireland calendars, etc... off the shelf?
What if tomorrow, Chnia sued demanding that Best Buy, CompUSA, etc... stop selling Linux?
This decision would be fine if Yahoo had stood up on their own and said "Hey...we don't like this hateful crap - we won't let you sell it."
However, it is not their decision. It is the french government standing up and saying "Hey...we don't like this hateful crap - it reminds us of how we rolled over - you can't let people sell it."
About the only differnce is that Yahoo has a "branch" in France, whereas Wal-Mart may not have one in Iran, or Best Buy in China - but with the Internet, does that matter anymore?
Oh...All I read was it was just a glitch that let you in. If that is what you have to do to activate the glitch, then yes...it would be a hard time to have it as a defense!
Did they delete files or do anything needing investigation, or did they just find a bug. And as someone else said about intent...there is the outside chance they just "happened" to pick the same name, and "happened" to get in via the bug.
In addition, didn't their server let the client in because it failed to properly authenticate? I admit that "They wanted me to steal their TV cause they left the front door unlocked" is a weak defense though...
I'll admit I don't know what you have to agree to when you play on battle.Net, but I can just see the case:
Prosecutor:
Your honor, the defendant killed off a top 10 hardcore character after stealing a Bow of Major Virtue from him. He created a character by the name of Pokedin, who he obviously should have known was a high-level characters name, and tried to connect with this character name until he got in. After he connected, he then allowed this character be killed. Since our client was playing a hardcore realm character, he could then not reconnect as his character. We suing for lost time my client spent building this character up, damages in the amount of 834,342 gold pieces, one pair of Plate Boots with +40 to mana, and three dates he passed on to play the game.
Last time I was on them - circa 1995, it was failing miserably. Everyone on there was too busy trying to flirt and kiss up to anyone with a female name.
Or if you didn't follow what they though should be an exact protocol of hero-worship of some of the bigger players, it was as bad as camping in QuakeII. Online games crack me up in the attitudes that people develop in the games and how serious and real they think it is.
BTW - when I was last on the mud it was because a very VERY close female friend from high school played on there, and I would make cut-ups about here that she though was funny, but all the people that worshipped her (she was a WEE bit flirtatous) were going one step shy of death threats with their responses to me. hilarious!
They have. It's called public transportation. Only, everybody wants to drive their own car.
Somewhat - it's great if you live in the heart of a metro area. However, where I live there is no public transportation, so I really have no choice. And the only person I could carpool with works a different schedule than I do.
Hopefully the commuter rail they are talking about putting in will work. I can drive 5 miles instead of 27 and one of the stops will be right on the campus where I work!
No...all that is left is to make major changes like before.
As the article said, the light bulb lengthened the day for many people.
Right now I spend 1.5+ hours on the road a day coming and going to work. Why can't someone innovate a way to cut out that time and make my life better - teleport me, beam me up. Or at least let a central system drive all the cars so you don't have idiots cutting in and out slowing traffic.
Sure, it may seem like far-fetched stuff. But at one point, so was sending power through a small wire for light, sending your voice down the phone, and flying.
And given the troubles with landfills filling up, I don't think we've mastered sanitation yet!
Or, just be nice to one of the people working at the theatre, and they'll usually let you watch the trailers before a movie starts (assuming you are there to see another movie.) That's how I see most cool trailers attached to crappy movies...that and quicktime!
Yes, but underneath, the main part of IE is the Microsoft Web Browser activeX control. All the rest of the browser (the favourites menu, the file/history, etc...) is just eye candy wrapped around that control.
The same control is used by the HTML Help browser, any program you insert it into, and probably the active desktop and Windows explorer.
I have an issue of PC Computing from 1982. In there is an add for a 10M hard drive for an Apple IIe, and the price is $4000+. I really should scan that mag...lots of vintage stuff.
One of my other mags has lots of adds for IBM clones, with the take-off of IBM's Charlie Chaplin adds - all with "sorry Charlie" or other similar knocks.

Unless it's changed, doesn't Berlin/GGI only run on Linux?
I would imagine it'd be easier to port the GTK+ to other framebuffers, like a Solaris box.
The framebuffer console is the replacement to SVGAlib. Instead of using SVGAlib as a means of doing graphics on the console outside of X, you can now just draw on the framebuffer console.
GTK+ sits on top of the framebuffer console...if there were no fb, GTK+ would then have to sit on top of SVGAlib. GTK does not use your video card directly as you said above. The framebuffer does.

Read it again - he's talking about employees of the company and their e-mail,etc... This has nothing to do with customers and their info.
Former microsoft users. It's a habit that is hard to get out of.

Where was Dave working that had an idle E10K? for some reason I though he worked for Rutgers or something - NJ tax money at work?

Yea...get off Diablo, get outside, get some skin tone, wash the hair - there are two sexes :)
:)
Seriously, I knew someone in college who had white skin, greasy hair and lived for MUDS...sad.
I'm married, so I can play Strikeforce all day
But can this be construed as damage?
Did they delete files or do anything needing investigation, or did they just find a bug. And as someone else said about intent...there is the outside chance they just "happened" to pick the same name, and "happened" to get in via the bug.

criminally prosecute the perpetrators.

Yeah...it sucks, but I doubt it'd fly.

THANK YOU. We have been trying to figure out at work where that part was from. Too bad I slept through part of Elizabeth, or I may have remembered it!

Thanks for the info...I'd been meaning to do a search for a while...I just only seemed to remember when I was not around a computer.
:)
Now I just need CMS
I'd love to see XEDIT on Linux - free. Same with REXX...and while their at it, it'd be nice to have a full CMS system that would run under Linux.
Okay...the "Good Old Days" article got me real nostalgic!
