Problem is any such format will quickly be reverse engineered, and a less expensive network will be available without having to buy that crap from cupertino. Besides, were the Internet to die, the revolution would come in the form of old and new sysops dusting off their copies of RA, SBBS, DLX, FrontDoor and the like, and starting back up their bbses, at least until they could arrange with the phone company to hook up the T1s, and rig up the pringle cans to get long range connects. The end result will be rebuilding the internet little by little without big media controlling; it'll be small at first, but gradually people will begin to migrate over to the new system. Of course, inevitably said interests will take notice and begin to try to control things, thus the cycle is continued.
Y'know, that's a damn good idea. Haven't heard anything, but hell, an excuse for a party's an excuse for a party. Anyone up for a party, maybe around down ABQ way? The day we can stop burning the gifs.;3
Actually, the GUI level should be where all theming should be handled, IMO. Let people decide what the look and feel of their desktop is, and let that look and feel be consistent between applications. The problem with media player theming is the fact that most media player designers think that they know better, and they design their own, usually outlandish, ugly themes, and don't provide theme that matches the rest of they system's UI.
A bbetter link. Leads straight to a kernel RPM for one to download. So, SCO, if there is your IP everywhere in the kernel, why do you still have the source code up on your ftp site? Seems to me like you're not exercising your due dilligence here. Won't look good in court sirs...

It expires in about a month. On June 20th, 2003, LZW, at least in the US, becomes an unencumbered file format. It will remain patented in a few other countries for another year or two, but essentially, Unisys only has another month to harass people over GIF usage before the patent expires.
What about getting in touch with a few drinking buddies/like minded people and setting up a mutual email system, where all of you act as mail exchanges for the other, thus maintaining the redundancy, and cutting said indifferent ISP out of the picture?
The big problem with whitelists is the fact that there is a lot of wanted email that would get dropped in such a situation. I've had some wonderful friendships started with an email out of the blue. If I were to have implemented a whitelist system, I'd have never met those people, or had the experiences. Thus a whitelist wouldn't really work. It's like trying to kill a fly on the wall with a bazooka.
A better method, in my opinion, is keyword filtration. Most of my buddies don't keywords such as "hot sluts" or "refinance your home" in their emails. Additionally, I probably wouldn't want to talk with anyone who does use those terms anyways, so those emails would get dropped without a second blink.
though your script would be more appropriate if it were men and/or women. Some of us are bi, ya know;3.
Paper money doesn't last long enough for that to happen. How many series 1993 notes do you have? How about 1989? 1985? Really, people will only have to worry about keeping track of maybe 2 or 3 notes at the most as the old ones get too beat up to be usable anymore. Average lifespan of paper money is only a couple years, redesigning is hardly going to make an impact on most people
Ah, but therein lies the rub. this does have useful applications; it's a transceiver, not just a receiver. Thus, you can use this as a packet modem/whatever. Think long range wireless and the like; it'll be a toy for most at first until someone plays with it enough to use everything a good wireless connection can provide.
You think that would really stop any student from "wasteful" paper use? I remember back in my "fuck the world anarchist" days, I'd save the files on blue box construction and the like under names like reportbb.txt. I knew what the files were, but curious siblings and parents sure didn't. Joe Smith would probably save the filename as "Industrial_Engineering_-_Soil_Composition.doc". I mean, who'd want to read about soil composition?
Intel probably doesn't care about underclocking as much, so the overclock protection circutry is probably more along the likes of
if (($clockspeed) > ($specspeed)) shutdown
than
if (($clockspeed) != ($specspeed)) shutdown
After all, faster clocked processors are more expensive, thus, Intel's already made their money off you if you underclock. They're more worried about overclocking because it skims money off their high profit margin chips.
George Noory, Art's replacement, has some pretty cool guests on too. Yeah, he's not as good as Art, but at the same time, he's got the same interesting topics. Give him a few years and hopefully he'll get even better.
The way it renders full color icons, of multiple sizes.
SVG icons. Gnome and KDE've got them too. Quickly becoming the default. Look real nice; check out the Crystal SVG iconset for KDE and the Gorilla iconset for GNOME
I guess it's a matter of choice, but I want subtle more than I want slick. Apple's hardware and software is as subtle as a polar bear. It's why I still prefer x86 and Linux; I can get it slick yet still retain a good degree of subtlety
take a look at the xrender extensions for xfree. Using openGL to handle portions of desktop rendering isn't new. Apple just embraced and extended the idea
Museums eat this sort of thing up. It's an oddity, a rarity, something that they can put on a full-color brochure showing the breadth of their collection. If/when this does get to a museum, it'll probably become much like the Descanso Car, an oddity with a great story behind it.
Quite possibly yes. It's definitely got the history to make it a museum piece somewhere, though probably not Smithsonian worthy. At the same time, however, there's a lot of quite valuable, well-maintained historic items in private hands. Chances are that the buyer will either donate this vehicle to a local museum, or perhaps keep it restored for private use.
I really don't think that there's much to worry about here in terms of it getting ground down by the ravages of time. Keeping historic railroad items such as this intact is very much in vogue, and an item like this will probably be watched by people who have placed sentimental value with it. Anyone who purchases an item like this, where shipping and freight costs will be much more than the item's value, will have a vested interest in keeping their property well maintained.
Maybe no directly, but if you take one of dozens of programs that will capture an audio stream to file, it becomes trivial to copy files with it. Yes, you can't do it out of the box, but five minutes on google, and it's more than possible. Plus, I imagine that there's already someone hard at work reverse engineering the daap protocol, which will allow this to be used for sharing.
All three of the issues you mentioned had been solved long ago in open source, in ways quite possibly superior to MS's solution. Open Source offers standardization and compatibility - you can deploy Suns next to PCs and know right away they'll talk to one another without spending a lot of money on consultants and third-party solutions to put the pieces together.
Manageablility is really a non-issue. Just because you don't know the tools doesn't mean they don't exist. Look into debian's apt-get. Set up a local repository, and have all 20,000 clients ping the server every day or so for updates. Bam, probably get patch deployment down to 10 man-hours of work. System imaging is easier under linux too. Take a look at System Imager; tools like it mean don't have to jump through the hoops you do with preparing windows images.
As far as accountability goes, that's why you get a support contract from someone like RedHat, who can provide enterprise level support for you. The contracts aren't expensive, but like you said, neither are MS's.
I'm going to have to call you on expenses, at least on the server side. Yes, client-side MS may be a bit less expensive at this point, but that's due to the fact that Linux doesn't have the broad base of users that MS does at this point. You can use the same hardware; Dell and the like already sell preconfigured Linux boxes, so I don't know where you're getting that hardware costs are more. Once you factor in retraining, user expenses would probably be less. Linux has far better tools for user administration and reconfiguring. Take a look at LDAP and name service switch, they provide all the tools of Active Directory, plus are based on open standards, which means that compatibility costs are lessened.
You don't really want it compatible with RAM. What OS could possibly address it?
Pretty much any *n?x these days would be able to address the RAM, provided you used a processor that could address 64 bits of RAM. Yeah, desktop OSes would need to be rewritten to handle such memory, but server OSes are already capable of accessing this memory and then some.
true...or just ensure that the memory uses some sort of error correction code to ensure that single bit errors aren't propogated. If this technology does provide the kind of densities it promises, then building in some sort of ECC is really not that painful
I've got a pretty full life too. At the same time, though, I try to look for new types of stimulation, new experiences. I want to watch the sunrise from a mesa in the desert, I want to feel the wind rush over me as I hurtle down a roller coaster, I want to feel the rush after completing a 20 mile day hike. What's the point of living if you're just going to do the same things over and over again?
Believe me, if I had the money, I'd be doing those things and more. It's why I suggested the simple pleasure of zipping along the road at 80 miles per hour. Gets real fun when you're driving 60 mph down a one lane, one way mountain road that has a speed limit of 15 mph. Mind you, this is in a Plymouth Acclaim, a very simple, no frills, family car. Yeah, I lost a hubcap in one of the turns, but I loved the adrenaline rush.
Got to say, the thing looks fun. 420 feet straight up and then straight down has got to be a damn good rush. Course, i'm a believer that you've got to push youself if you're to really live. Sitting in a cubicle for 8 hours a day an not doing anything to challenge yourself is not living; it's just going through the motions. A ride like this allows a relatively controlled release of adrenaline and excitement, and would be damn fun, too.
Sometimes I wonder about the people on this site. They seem to have no desire for action or excitement. All y'all you are commenting about how dangerous this looks need to rent a very fast car with no top, and cruise for the weekend going at least 20 miles per hour over the speed limit for at least an hour. Trust me, it's much more fun than playing it safe.
Yes, that little quip may have been a bit over the top, but your line wasn't any better. Sure it could have probably been written better, but I think the point the submitter was trying to make was that this is gearing up to be a hotly contested region in the next few years. That this wasn't just RH going after some obscure part of the country, this is RH going after one of the major players.
it implies that a slashdot member has gone outdoors and has even *gasp!* actually had sex!;-)
You, know, I already know this, and I also know you should try combining the sex and the outdoors some time. Very enjoyable. Just try to stay away from the dirt bike trails;3
