a local university made waves by being the first in the nation to demand that every incoming freshman must have a computer
I seem to remember reading an article about this in Time or Newsweek - all I really remember is I believe they were Macs, some people loved them, and one of the inset pictures was of a professor who hated the idea (as they all had to have them as well) and was sitting by his unopened box which he was using as an end-table.
- peacefire is blocked by MAPS.
- anyone who subscribes to MAPS or whose ISP subscribes to MAPS will not be able to get e-mail from peacefire. Sure - an individual may choose not to use MAPS, but if you get your mail via your ISP and they use MAPS - you're screwed.
- peacefire has not spammed anyone...they just happen to have an IP in the same class C as some other domain that MAPS doesn't like.
As for the Website thing - I believe on that sentence where it says it block innocent websites, it should have said innocent domains, or they were just comparing what MAPS is doing to other censorware junk.
Even better would the be the ability for someone to go to ANY computer and have all of their programs available
Yup...or you could use a beefed up 2000 server with Windows Terminal Services and do the same thing, and not only do they have their profile and programs, it's the programs they want. It's word, not StarOffice - they have their paperclip.
It's IE, not Netscape, and they can actually view most of the web pages out there again.
I'm not saying I don't love Windows, but anyone who thinks that the masses will abandon it for X w/ KDE or Gnome are kidding themselves. As nice as they may be, they are not ready for prime time.
I had one that expired in April of this year - it was just released last week. So I guess now the one that I want to buy which has expired I can get around June!
And everytime it comes up, it usually comes down to this:
FireWire is just a transport medium that can send data to a camera to put on the tape. That data follows a certain format, so you would have to put the timecode and other required fields in there, and then where the image data normally is, somehow put your data in there, as if it is already compressed DV data. Of course, it'd also be handy to have something that'll read it back off as well.
You'd probably be better off if someone designed a tape drive that used the miniDV tapes to hold the data, like the 8mm drives - it's a video, it's a data backup!
Personally (and I will readily agree I'm probably in the minority) I want my OS to stop when it sees something it doesn't recognise happening in the hardware.
The way you states this makes it sound like halfway through a compile, all of a sudden the kernel thinks you have a 486 instead of a 686. Sure...if my OS thinks that my disk controller has gone south, I'd like for it to stop.
But just because my particular compile of the OS doesn't recognize what came out after it did, I don't want it to never start.
I just posted something similar in another thread. Most of the movies they were talking about they are showing soon was things like Idle Hands, I know what you did..., Carrie II, and so on...crappy horror wannabes.
And the shows they have constantly are crap. I guess the good shows cost to much, and they are probably spending a lot on Farscape and a couple other (decent) original series.
I used to be all happy that I was finally getting sci-fi, until I tried to watch it:( I'm home sick this week with bronchitis and it's the same shows over and over - old Star Trek (You...with the red shirt - die!), and a few series from the 90s that made it one season (space: above...) or shows that have a small sci-fi tie in (Sliders).
And then later you get the crap like "Crossing Over"
CmdrTaco could walk up and give me a $1,000,000 and I wouldn't know who he is. C'mon - prove it!:)
They used to have a real cool one with Jet Li where he split an atom.
Besides - didn't you see the ads for their movies coming up on sci-fi - I know what you did last summer, idle hands, etc... all recent cheesy horror wannabes.:(
I wanna see a story like Ringworld, but written by someone who is a decent writer. Maybe it's just me, though some of the amazon.com reviews agree with me, great story idea - terrible execution of it.
"But the figures leaping from the worm backs were men, and the blades flashing in that omnious yellow light were a thing the Sardaukar had been trained to face. They threw themselves into combat. And it was msn to msn pn the plain of Arrakeen."
That is how the book describes that whole battle. Of course, it does talk of the storm and the sandworms coming in, with lightning in their mouths, but I found the whole thing to be anti-climatic. In fact, at one point I thought they were riding in on spice harvesters and not worms.
Also, part of the beginning of the attack was to take out the Emperor's thopters so they would not have air support.
I just wanna know why he had to tell Gunney a few times to blow the wall...very odd.
Okay...there is superroot.net, youcannn.org, and one other who all seem to use the same addresses for their name servers, leading me to think they are all the same. Then you have opennic which have different servers.
how do you activate all of the alternate ones? Do you have to manually mesh together bind files or is it just a matter of correct configs?
It just gets too difficult to decide where something should go. Or where people would expect to find it.
Does "Bank Of America" go into Bank or Financial Services, or Mortgage, or idiots with high fees - or all three and pay thrice the fee...perhaps the people who say http://www.bankofamerica are correct. No com, no net, no org. Who knows.
Ahh...for the early nineties when the internet was simple and you could still find cool stuff on ftp sites!

'nuff said.
a local university made waves by being the first in the nation to demand that every incoming freshman must have a computer

He was a local call for me, so everytime I got spam from him, I would call him up and bitch at him.
Didn't do anything, but it was pretty fun.
Not that we know anything about graphics, either. All of our graphics software was acquired from other companies in the first place.
I don't know then where they got Corel Draw from, but for a while that was pretty much all they did, and at that time, they knew graphics.
Other than that - dead on.
Let me explain it:
- peacefire is blocked by MAPS.
- anyone who subscribes to MAPS or whose ISP subscribes to MAPS will not be able to get e-mail from peacefire. Sure - an individual may choose not to use MAPS, but if you get your mail via your ISP and they use MAPS - you're screwed.

At least the Spice Girls are a pleasure to watch, unlike the election coverage. Spice Girls - the reason for Mute! :)

And like I said in my other post
Dammit---I want my Dr. Who!!!

Where's my friggin Dr. Who!

Nope - not at all. MSNBC regulary carries articles that aren't exactly in MS's favour either.
Must be a personal thing - everytime that real crashes on me (also read as everytime I use real) I have no problem killing it with the task manager.
I though about that - then I though even better would be 127.0.0.1
All the joe wannabes would go home saying "Hey honey...look, I can ping that site from that movie."
OUCH....that is a painful graph!
Yeah...we are only supposed to jump the gun and trash things when it is MS or Intel related.
C'mon people - this is Linus related...it must be non-news.
I saw that and though - that just ain't right.
Perhaps now movies will have to make sure they don't show a real IP address or hostname, like the 555 numbers on all the tv shows.
I thought about that...I think I meant to type fluffy...well, the babies ones look furry.
