I _just_ finished installing SuSE 9.1 on an oldish machine (HP Netserver LCIII PII/400) It seems to work fine - except it can't figure out the nic.
The WIERD thing is that it did the ftp install USING THAT NIC. but now I can't make it work at all. It _thinks_ it's up...
(It's the NIC that came with it - an HP branded NIC that's really an Intel Etherexpress. The doc says use eepro100, the autodetect wants e100. I've tried both; neither work)
OOo may not have perfect filters for dealing with formatting MSOfc files, but I've definitely had it successfully open MSOfc files that office wouldn't open. I believe it was a file that had crossed from a pc to a mac; office just puked and crashed on it. (Also, you can't get wordperfect filters for MSOffice for the mac - only for the PC, which sucks. my recollection is this isn't true in OOo)
The only thing I can say in defense of MSoffice is the OOo does always seem to be one interface generation behind - which usually doesn't matter. Not having an OSX interface definitely kills it for some people, though - it looks too much like a Windows program. The last OOo I was using (1.1RC5, I believe) looked basically like Office 2k, in my opinion. Actually, I hate the XP interfaces, but not everybody does.
If you read my post carefully, I said "need a cabinet... if that freaks you out" I also said it was clorinated water and by far not the most germy stuff in your house.
If I was unclear that it doesn't pose a known health risk, I apologize. To my knowledge the only risk is psychological.
With that in mind close the lid if it makes you feel better, but to my knowledge it does not stop there from being a mist present.
To me, at least, that simulator wouldn't matter. You're discussing the expelling of toliet water. You can either consider it relatively clean or not. If you consider it not, you have to account for the very fine mist that probably covers most of your bathroom whenever you flush that toliet - you need a cabinet to keep your toothbrush in if that freaks you out.
It gets worse, though - the most germy place in your house isn't your toliet seat, bathroom floor or toliet water (which is clorinated anyway) - it's generally your refrigerator door handle, followed by other door handles. Which you probably touch before you eat.
From spoofing verification would knock out 98% of my spam. It would also stop one of the most annoying virus attacks - where windows user "Alice" has me and "Bob" in their addressbook and I get blamed when Alice's virus mails Bob with my address.
I propose 1) (seems to exist, as stated) extensions to DNS allowing you to specify domain outgoing servers for "from" addresses irrelevant of your MX records, and to specify whether you should accept from unlisted servers
2) (seems NOT to exist) a new lookup service probably running on your mail server (or a much bigger extension to DNS) allowing you to look up additional acceptable servers (ideally by IP OR name) on a _per username_ basis. Whether or not to check this, and where to check, should be an extension of the listing in 1)
Neither list requires you to have any control over the hosts listed (that's a requirement)
#2 has the disadvantage that lots of users need to configure it - but it's the users who are already configuring vanity domains and forwards that have to do it, not the recipients. For a vanity domain, you configure your vanity domain to include the SPF of your home ISP. For your forward situation, you add your remote address to that domains user-policy. (Of course, you should ALSO be able to whitelist it in, since the recipient is you.)
There's no reason you couldn't additionally have your local client automatically authenticate (using a decent authentication) and update this if you for some reason use a random local SMTP server (presumeably because outside SMTP is blocked on the network)
Here are the big advantages: 1: It would help. It would eliminate from spoofing from any partipating domain to any recipients using the filtering.
2: It wouldn't block anybody legitimate. At all. Or force any upgrades, at all.
3: Senders would want to upgrade so they don't get spoofed. Recipients would want to upgrade so they get less spam.
4: It would knock out the worst kind of spam - the joejob.
As a bonus, if an ISP gets a lot of checks against a given username, they could be suspicious of that username. They shouldn't automatically block them, obviously, since those queries could be made for just that reason. But even if they DID block that lookup for that user, it would only prevent them from sending mail through ANOTHER SMTP server using THAT domain from. So in the most common odd case of my using a vanity domain and sending email through my ISP, my vanity domain host would have to be blocking me, not my ISP. Since my vanity domain host expects me to have a vanity domain, presumeably they'll get this rather correct.
{PS: I'd like to add real legal $ penalties not only for sending spam, but for letting spammers abuse your network, especially after you've been notified. (While I'd like to include trojaned boxes too, what I really mean is ISPs) But that's not really part of the same proposal.}
Most believeable thing in the article is that if this ghost trick works correctly you make a virtual partition that's really a file on your other drive. And if it doesn't, you get an improper partition table and corrupt data.
I should point out that to my knowledge you can theoretically get 120 MB out of a floppy disk (but not a standard controller!) The LS120 drives iirc use what is essentially a standard floppy - only they're manufactured to a much higher tolerance (and therefore more expensive) So if you were lucky enough to get the only perfect floppy in existance, you'd be able to write 120 MB to it. The platter-density limit is usually pretty fixed in the controller and pretty variable in the media, depending on how lucky you get.
The LS120 drives were basically a direct competitor of the original ZIP - they had slightly more space, smaller disks, great construction, and they could really replace your floppy drive (because the mechanism was identical, you could put a floppy in and it would read it just like a floppy but much faster, because the servos were better)
However, marketing is more important than technology to adoption, so now it's pretty dead.
Also, you can read every mac media in a PC, 3.5" floppies included. Last time I had to do this I went on TuCows and downloaded a utility called TransMac.
In my experience AS2.0 runs identically on any platform with a MMFlash7.0 plugin MORE reliably than applet code runs on any machine with a JVM.
This is due to M$'s dilution of the JVM field by making crappy ones and installing it by default for lots of users.
Obviously, this leaves out the numerous other really cool things you can do with Java - like that there are more than 3 platforms with plugins available. In fact, my flash apps talk to CFMX servers which run using precisely this capability of Java.
For client-side web application development, though, none of that matters and the whole range of competition is basically Java applets and MMFlash. For someone who is programming Java _applets_ I believe that Flash/AS2.0 generally does the same thing in a similar way only better in many cases, even if it's less "pure".
There is no cocoa/carbon OOo. But, there IS a good OSX installer for the X11 version which takes care of everything, including making a little dock icon like everything else has.
Apple usually emulates right click by control-click or command click. (there also option-alt click) It's a bit more annoying, because it takes two hands.
My biggest complaint for Apple is not shipping a multibutton capable mouse on their laptops (even if all the buttons were, by default, the same button) The OS apparently does support it, and there's a fair number of third-party options for a desktop, but I don't exactly want to have to take apart a powerbook just for that.
I'm (provisionally) actually looking for someone to do some of the residential support I have to deal with sometimes, because it's not really my primary business and I'm a bit overloaded (things like my client's cousin's home computer needs a new modem...)
I'm in Chicagoland, in the western burbs : )
As for the first job I got - actually I'm talking about the first job I got on purpose, I'd had a couple of jobs I kindof wandered into.
I realized I didn't have a car - so I got on my bike. And I looked at a map to figure out where there were close enough stores, and then I went there and started applying at mad. But I ended up with a job at a computer store - and it was targetted as a summer job for HS students.
It was mostly cleaning computers (with glass cleaner, not software) in schools while they were out of session for the summer. But it paid well (for me, then - but anyone older wouldn't probably have thought so!)
Also, since I did know something about computers and it was a small store I ended up doing some sales stuff and later some tech stuff, which was all great for my resume and for my knowledge.
I'd argue that because the pay rates go up so tremendously as you get older, you might be MORE interested in seeing if you know what field you WANT to go into, and starting a business doing that whether you make any money or not, because it'll make it easier to get the _next_ job - ideally you'll also have a portfolio of what you did, if it's any kind of development.
Temper this with having fun, of course - you're young.
Unless your dummy load store energy somewhere else (for instance chemical, by electrolysis of water, or mechanical, by filling compressed air tanks, or pumping water higher etc) all of it goes to heat. Almost all household and computer applicances are like this - the heat dissipation is equal to the draw. Computers, heaters, TVs, DVDs, playstations, light bulbs.
It's even true of stuff like your refrigerator, or the pump on your fishtank - but in those cases you have to average over time at steady state for it to work out.
well, perhaps that's a typically/. exaggeration, but I'm quite happy with them.

If you told me 2 years ago I'd be defending Flash, I wouldn't have believed you. Now I believe it is the best way to deliver truly dynamic content online.
With FLash MX 2004 it now defaults to Actionscript 2.0 with is a Java-like OO programming language that is quite powerful and has a significant toolbox.
That's right, there's a truly proper programming language hidden inside Flash, capable of whatever you want, but running on top of a robust visual interface.
We're now using it for quite a bit of remote data management - for instance a 2D database-driven layout online
Of course, people who don't know how to write code write crappy code, and it is somewhat less intimidating than starting a new Java applet.
It's actually better than Java (I know, you're all going to try to kill me) It's because of the way the plugins work. Exactly for the same reasons I _don't_ like it - because Flash is a protected brand name, Macromedia gets to control the plugin. So you get proper plugin version control and etc, instead of the clusterf*ck that MS made out of Java plugins, and Apple didn't do much better. (One of only 3 times I've been unhappy with OSX)
Anybody understand why if you install XPPro OEM on a client machine and run the online updater to bring everything up to date you get no Java at all?
Before anybody really slits my throat - well written Java works great if you're using a Sun/java.com interpreter. But I promise you really can't expect that from arbitrary users (my inbox tells me so) But you can expect them to "accept" the Flash plugin install window.
Btw, just to be overprecise - someone else in this thread misunderstood: you've been able to _play_ flash apps natively in linux for a while, now you're going to be able to _create_ flash apps in linux.

I don't know very many people who like creating documents in Quark.
Quark, as far as I can tell, has better support for the crazy output devices and is therefore easier for presses and etc to use, so the print shops demand Quark from the layout people.
No amount of features available to designers will oust Quark for big jobs, until the print shops will accept something else.
Flash has tremendous database (now using SOAP) and application possibilites, and it's an OO programming environment that resembles Java (in MX2004) So it makes a smooth web application where HTML can't cut it.
Flash works identically on any platform it installs on, and installs on Win, Mac, and Linux even in moderately old version. There is no way that MS is going to 1) properly implement a programming environment that doesn't suck or 2) actually be platform independent.

From what I've heard, the atkins dangers are all psychological.
In general, the Atkins diet is fairly moderate. But it _STARTS_ with being very aggressive in the beginning. The largest danger, as I understand it, is that you'll start it and, being someone prone to doing things to excess, will do the Atkins diet to excess because it works in the beginning.
Keeping that going for a significant period is certainly bad, which is why Atkins doesn't recommend you do it.
*sigh* Sometimes I'd give up all my capabilities being informative, or even interesting, and maybe even insightful just to sometimes be funny.
It's so much, well, funnier.

Well, at least I'm not a redundant offtpoic flamebait troll. Actually, I'm not even sure how to do that. I guess if I somebody else was already an offtopic flamebait troll, and I repeated it, it could be redundant. But it wouldn't really be very good flamebait, or a very good troll. Another mystery for the ages.
If you want a cheap used one, email me and I'll send you one, you can paypal me something.
Alternatively, Global computer has the C46039 for $15 (regular price I believe) www.globalcomputer.com Or you can call 630 848-4631 to speak to my most wonderful rep there.
Like distance, it can be in 3 (or more!) axis. The direction relative to your direction of motion isn't related at all. (See also my post the sibling of yours) You could have a huge jerk in the direction you're going (when you start to fire rockets) you're not going (as you deploy a parachute) or sideways (as start to impact something, for instance)
Distance, and it's derivates: velocity, acceleration, jerk. To use a car example, a distance is how far you are, velocity is how fast you're going (changing distance). Acceleration is how fast you're changing velocity, and Jerk is how fast you're changing acceleration. So, for instance, while acceleration is roughly correlated to how far down you have the gas pedal, jerk would be correlated to HOW FAST you jam the pedal down.
To follow another poster - it IS how fast someone jerks your chain, assuming they start out holding your chain and then move to break, they'll have a significant jerk.
It gets better. The next ones are (wait for it): snap, crackle, and pop. I kid you not. Seems I learned something getting a BS in Mechanical Engineering.
Speakeasy and Cyberonic are my two recommendations in this area. Speakeasy is definitely the shit, and a server of mine is hosted on a friend's Speakeasy DSL line.
Cyberonic, at least ~Chicago only offers 1.5/768 single static IP connections. The cost is $40/month, but you have to pay upfront for 18 months. You can use it for servers and business as long as it's a residential phone (or the price goes up).
Speakeasy has more options and better service, but Cyberonic was cheaper at 768up. Both, generally, work well.
The parent didn't give his speakeasy nick, or he could've gotten a small credit - even as just a customer. Mine's "XIG" in both cases. You're not obligated to use it, but it doesn't cost you anything.

*sigh* Sometimes I'd give up all my capabilities being informative, or even interesting, and maybe even insightful just to sometimes be funny.
It's so much, well, funnier.

Well, at least I'm not a redundant offtpoic flamebait troll. Actually, I'm not even sure how to do that. I guess if I somebody else was already an offtopic flamebait troll, and I repeated it, it could be redundant. But it wouldn't really be very good flamebait, or a very good troll. Another mystery for the ages.
If you want a cheap used one, email me and I'll send you one, you can paypal me something.
Alternatively, Global computer has the C46039 for $15 (regular price I believe) www.globalcomputer.com Or you can call 630 848-4631 to speak to my most wonderful rep there.
Like distance, it can be in 3 (or more!) axis. The direction relative to your direction of motion isn't related at all. (See also my post the sibling of yours) You could have a huge jerk in the direction you're going (when you start to fire rockets) you're not going (as you deploy a parachute) or sideways (as start to impact something, for instance)
Distance, and it's derivates: velocity, acceleration, jerk. To use a car example, a distance is how far you are, velocity is how fast you're going (changing distance). Acceleration is how fast you're changing velocity, and Jerk is how fast you're changing acceleration. So, for instance, while acceleration is roughly correlated to how far down you have the gas pedal, jerk would be correlated to HOW FAST you jam the pedal down.
To follow another poster - it IS how fast someone jerks your chain, assuming they start out holding your chain and then move to break, they'll have a significant jerk.
It gets better. The next ones are (wait for it): snap, crackle, and pop. I kid you not. Seems I learned something getting a BS in Mechanical Engineering.
Speakeasy and Cyberonic are my two recommendations in this area. Speakeasy is definitely the shit, and a server of mine is hosted on a friend's Speakeasy DSL line.
Cyberonic, at least ~Chicago only offers 1.5/768 single static IP connections. The cost is $40/month, but you have to pay upfront for 18 months. You can use it for servers and business as long as it's a residential phone (or the price goes up).
Speakeasy has more options and better service, but Cyberonic was cheaper at 768up. Both, generally, work well.
The parent didn't give his speakeasy nick, or he could've gotten a small credit - even as just a customer. Mine's "XIG" in both cases. You're not obligated to use it, but it doesn't cost you anything.
