Sure it will. Just get an extra power supply or two. With the large size of the drives (GB-wise), you don't need as many as you would with smaller drives, thus it evens out.
Has anybody that has used Star Office done a comparison review between the new Star Office and the newest KOffice? KOffice looked pretty good, but I don't use office programs much anymore, so I didn't get a chance to work with it for long.
What I am wondering is when is the verification done? Is it completely seperate than the OS, or does the OS load up some program? I would hope it does it immediately after you turn it on, that way it would be much hard to bypass. Still, though, when things like this usually come out, it normally only keeps Normal Joe User out, and it a gifted person that knew what they were doing (the type that would probably steal the laptop to begin with), they could probably access the data somehow. None the less, though, some security is better than none!
I would have to agree with you there. I have bought several things from X10, but ever since their god damned pop ads, I have been boycotting them for the last year or so. I wrote their CEO a letter too, telling them the same thing. Dirty bastards.
I agree with you. I can swipe and put in my PIN fast... that in itself doesn't take time. It's the stupid ATM/Debit/Credit card network that has to dial up a freaking modem every time a card is swiped. THAT's what takes the time. We need these machines to be on an "always on" connection. Every time i go to the store and have to wait for the thing to hit my bank and back it pisses me off.
That's true, but now just with linux. The next big operating system will likely have the same problem. It's not linux's (or w2k's or winnt's) fault that many of their users are less-than-skilled, it's just the way it works. Thankfully there is a variety of linux distro's, and many make it easy for the newbie to at least have a somewhat secure OS by giving them a choice during the install (i.e. How secure do you want your computer to be? [ ] very secure [ ] somehwat secure [ ] no security)
Things are getting better, and the more exploits there are (hopefully) the more people will learn and the less they will take for granted about security.
We as linux/unix/bsd users need to come together and stop blaming security hole on the operating system. While some OSes come more secure out of the box, virtually any OS out there can be made secure with some time and effort. it's not the OS, it's the sysadmin who runs the machine. Corporate America needs to provide admins time and money to cover these bases, rather than just putting it on the 'todo' list, it needs to be made a priority.
"Despite the widening cultural gap, I still think older people have some things to teach [the 15 year olds]..."
Why does this get published on slashdot - anybody can sling together a bunch of obvious sentences and string them together to creat one of Jon Katz's essays. Jon Katz continues to be ignorant and oblivious to any real issues, and seems to write on whatever he pleases.
Don't get me wrong - I have found a gem or two of truth and good points throughout the the last year or two of JOn Katz's writing... but, just out of curiousity, would any other slashdot readers like a different author? I think it's safe to say that the majority of slashdot could care less about Jon Katz and his writing, and would rather push for someone more interesting and more in tune to the audience. Just because you have written a book or two doesn't make you better than the average slashdot reader who might have something more interesting to say, and can really feel what the audience wants.
i agree with you completely, but to me it seems that happened more in the past when cybersquating was almost a sport. now it seems everyone is just dragged into court to get their "rightfull" domain back. still, for $30, it's sure worth a try...
Honestly, I would like to work at Sealand for a year or so. I think it would be quite interesting. I would get a little runabout boat and do some fishing when time permits, and browse the internet at night while drinking some scotch or whiskey and listening to the whine of all of the fans in the server room(s) and staring at the blinking lights. It would be an interesting chapter in life.
What I want to know is why should universites and such start a whole new internet when the money could be better spend upgrading current hardware. the Internet2 is fine and dandy, but it's really just an extension of the internet(1) and we should upgrade speeds to that of internet2 with our existing hardware.
I don't find GAIM similar to AIM. The only thing I find similar to AOL is LAME. Is it really worth their intrest to pursue this? I mean, someehere along the line they have to pay lawyers and get little in return except looking like my retarded cousin larry.
Please don't get me wrong - I am not putting down linux or the mass of programmer's that make it possible. I am not complaining, just making an observation. If i didn't like the programs that run on linux, i wouldn't use linux. I like the programs, and I think it will be exciting in the future to see more developement in these areas.

Do people actually fall for your sig? Does it cause something to happen or some exploit? Doesn't do anything in Mozilla .9.4 on HP-UX...
But if you go 130MPH, you save HALF of the time. Go faster people! (But don't follow so close, and wear your seatbelt).

Actually HP-UX has come with unlimited user licenses for some time now, starting at 11.0 I believe...
Maybe you can't get a job because your /. name is SirPsychoSexyMD. Just kidding. :)
You probably downloaded Release Candidate 1. This is the full release.
Funny... I did the exact same thing! Lucily CD-R's are cheap. Well, back to downloading again...

me too!
[Moderators: This is a joke]
Back off. I've had a bad day. I already admitted I was wrong.
I stand corrected. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. One must admit, however, that CmdrTaco COULD have said it.
And I quote:
"Not only a stunning example of legal overreaching, in my opinion, but very poor grammar as well."
I'm sorry. It's just so funny to read CmdrTaco complaining about grammar. I couldn't resist.

when is the open registration perdiod? yes, i'm too lazy to search and read.
