It's been a while since I tried 98lite... but when I did it didn't remove IE completly - I loaded up Winamp and it's Minibrowser (ie. IE;) still worked fine.
Thomas Edison had 10,000 researchers and scientists working at his Menlo Park labs, who slept on their desks, and had the same problems pleasing the investment community as today's tech companies. The result? Over 1000 patents and many inventions that we take for granted today.
Symantic have a similar method.. only I think they have 10,000 monkeys at 10,000 typewriters.
Combine that with the Dune TV series and you've got a deadly combination!
The most memorable moment from it was the cardboard backgrounds.. you could see the paint strokes!! I've seen better quality on most 60's Sci-Fi shows.
Or maybe they where *trying* to get that look... but that wouldn't explain netter digital's nice renderings
Maybe Capital One would quit being the lone holdout of my creditors that don't support Mozilla.
Huh? I've been happly using Opera (Linux/Windows, from version 3) and Mozilla (again, both Linux and Windows) since 0.9.4 with Capital One's website. Works perfectly.
Hubble is a really old telescope now, and it's still getting amazing images. Compared to many of the ground-based telescopes it's actually very small. Makes you wonder what kind of images we would get if say the Keck telescope was in orbit.
I'm also curious how much detail Hubble would show if it was pointed down at Earth.
The newer versions of the Linux kernel have not run very well on the older hardware. Try running Linux 2.4.8+ on a machine with less than 8mb of ram and it will freeze when you try doing something memory intensive (like bzip2, or kernel compiling).
I know running large memory apps on a low memory machine isn't fair.. but it works (slowly) on 2.4.7 and before just fine.
Someone suggested to me recently that this was because of the new VM, I'm not a kernel hacker so I can't say. But still, this is a bug that's been around for a long time now and is quite serious... well for people running >8mb machines it is:).
True, but the various space agencies could spread the cost like they did with the International Space Station. I doubt if any one single country would/could have done that.
USA/Russia could prove valuable help with there long experience in space. Europe could provide the launch vehicle. There are many other countries that could provide valuable help with the design and building of the actual probes. Help make them smaller and tougher than before.
Missions like Cassini/Galelio are very expensive, but they are designed to stay in orbit for years. Look how much great data the Voyagers returned on there quick passes of each planet.
Imagine the images Galelio could have given us if it had been in orbit when the string of comets hit! With small, replacable, probes constantly in orbit of the various planets we'd be much better placed to observe these extremly rare events. Then they send in the big missions, when they know it's worth it.
I can't wait until Cassini gets within range of Saturn, it is definitly one of the most amazing things in the sky. Unfornatually it's largly been ignored by many high-power telescopes and space probes.
What NASA/ESA and all the other agencies in the world need to do is send out a swam of probes to *every* planet - a little science is better than no science!
This is all fine and well... but it really depends on what MS consider to be security problems.
And will they fix security holes in older products? Probably not.. just give the old "To fix this problem we recommend upgrading". Which of course, isn't free:)
This is why I like opensource so much... even the oldest projects can be fixed!
Anyway it's all probably only a PR stunt. Well soon find out I guess:)
As an owner of three old Seagate drives (150, 250, 520 Mb anyone;-) I've always considered Seagate to make the nosiesest drives in the world. I keep my file server in the attic, in a large box - and I can still hear it whirring.
Some people say they like to hear the noise, it reminds them that it's still working. That's like saying they like channel logos to remind them what channel there watching. There are lovely little lights on the front of your box. They ain't just pritty ya know:-)
News just in: AOL entered into takeover negotiations with AOL today. The reason, they already own everything else.
This is *very* bad news, DALnet has been my network of choice for a long time now. I have a lot of very good friends there. The second I start getting AOL sanctioned SPAM I will never connect to them again.
I will take this opportunity to plug a great new network I've been using lately, Sorcery.net. The services there kick DAL's butt anyday.
But how long till AOL get there dirty little hands there to?

SDL is a great way of making games that run on different platforms!!
:)
I know this is aiming at "One binary for them all" and that, but I'm sure a more open-source friendly alternative could be built under SDL.
Just a thought
It's amazing the things possible with DNA computers, little tiny ones implanted in the human brain.
Of course, it won't be long until people are over clocking. Or worse, adding transparent case mods. *shudders*
Ahh true... I just changed the browser's ID and checked, got that page.
And your correct, it does do more harm than good this way.

Would seem to be broken to, the VM refuses to work with less than 8Mb of physical RAM.

No idea if it's fixed on 2.5.x.
If that's true ...

50 hours free on AOL.
MS would be supplying the hardware. What's to stop them providing hardware that Linux has little or no support for. Or worse, buggy support.
The main FTP is having a slashdot moment, for now here is a nice mirror:

If this one starts slowing down there are always others - use the good 'ol google.com.
arh! It's Jar-Jar Binks !!

I guess they didn't include him in the next movie

Stick with it,, if they show season 1 first you might not be impressed. Compared to Battlebots it is tame.
Just wait will you get the newer series, the robots have got very very good.
Fire for fire :-)
But it does raise a good point. A0L are evil.
To quote A0L's CEO when asked about the Mozilla project: "All your source are belong to us"
