I think I am gonna copyright my email address . . . then I can bill any company that is being advertised for whatever amount I please when they use my address in an email header. Most won't pay, but those companies that paid sco probably will send me a few bucks:P
I am betting blue laser technology will kill them both. However, thanks to toshiba, there are now two blue laser recording formats too. After a while all the new dvd players will be able to read the then old red laser format and the new format, then the old recorder media will die out. The new blue lasers will be able to do a true hi-def recording, something the current dvd just cant handle. In fact it seems nec has already done the work on making a single laser element to read and write blue and red type disks...
Nothing to fear I think, Remember the bootloader for alpha processors that microsoft required to be flashed to boot NT? Basically it was nt bootloader instead of the alpha console. Well it was supposed to only boot windows, but with some engineering it booted milo, which booted linux. this mostly stemed from alpha having a console that set up hardware for booting unix style, someone also made a bootloader for linux for that firmware, I think it was called aboot or something like that for the console boot. Actually alpha had a much cooler way of handling hardware than a bios, it could actually set up and control hardware in intesting ways, so I am all for it if this is what they are going for.
Ah yes, I remember, I started mid 94 on the concentric 800 number, before that I was on compuserve. Well unless you count that holonet uucp email account via a fidonet bbs in early 94 using gigo and toss to convert the messages. I was on the arpanet in 1986, does that count (just a few universities and airforce bases and such on that one, I was in 2nd year college then, man I am getting old)? We were using ibm iron then, took the whole basement of the library, the terminals were on the 14th floor of the library (cabling ran up the elevator shaft).
Rambling on, way off topic:
I was dialing into it from my room via my Atari 600XL with 16K of ram (that I did the pin lift on new dram upgrade on for 64K of ram) and a 300 baud modem, and still later my Atari 130XE with 128K of ram that I had hacked up to a whopping 1M of banked ram (it came with 128K of which was banked into a 8K window (only 48K was directly accessible with 8K behind the rom area (8K rom, 8K rom slot), it was much like ems memory windowing). They both had 1.79Mhz 6502 cpus and various custom chips including sound processor/pci and a programmable graphics processor (sprites and collision detection and color cycling/timing in that one), and a 80K or so 5.25" floppy drive. Ahh, the good old days:).
Thanks for correcting me. It did indeed look like it. Its good to know MS actually had rights to something decent that they put into their product, maybe there is hope for them yet though I am not going to count on it or anything:).
Correction, I should have said the gui OS/2 version 2 and higher. Actually OS/2 version 1.x was a joint effort based on the technology release agreement from the onset and had a gui like windows 3.1, and microsoft did actually have a ms os/2 version 1.x as did ibm. MS just used the agreement later to go back and steal hpfs and the visicorp gui that the later os/2 releases had moved to since it was still an applicable technology share on paper.
No, NTFS is a rip off of the HPFS so how could they ever patent it. They stole it from IBM's OS/2. Well Actually IBM gave it to them when they signed a technology share agreement so OS/2 could run windows 3.1/3.11 programs better. The agreement, being two ways, allowed Microsoft to rip off the gui look and feel (Windows 95/98/NT4 and enhanced versions on ME/2000/XP) and to rip off the file system for use in NT/2000/XP. MS wanted that gui for years, but the company (visicorp) hated MS and only licensed it to IBM, who bought the rights and subsequently made that stupid deal with MS. Its too bad MS did not just steal the whole OS/2 since it was more stable and all.
Actually in europe they have E1 (~2 mbit as apposed to ~1.5mbit total), not a T1(aka DS1) with 30 channels and they can and do run something they call "E1 PRI" over those for 29 B channels and a D channel.
What you described is US PRI T1 which is 23 B channels with a D channel in the US at 64K each(this is what isdn service is based on, you can also run standard telco calls over them). US also has the standard T1 which is 24 channels as you described.
In Japan they call theirs a J1 (or PRI J1) and its based on the US standards, only in the yellow alarm generation/detection and the crc-6 calculation methods.
Has keith packard actually done anything toward his project yet? All I found was his portal at xwin.org and something about a government or ruling the world or something like that:)
I figure it was just the last straw, or perhaps he just cant handle the fact that he gave away his rights to do whatever he wanted with the company when he sold out to AOL.

Proxim let a developer take a library written by them custom for him that allows him certain functions that he needs, it works with pcmcia, isa and pci cards. he just wrote a wrapper around this library and has no access to the internal workings of the actual chipset to protect their details for security I suppose. Maybe he can help someone find the way with these new chip makers since he worked out a deal with another company that was not going to release the internal details. From what I gathered from back when I used one, they built him the library and gave him the headers.
His source code distribution with prebuilt library is at:
http://www.komacke.com/distribution.html
I was able to use it for my laptop with a pcmcia card, my smp machine with pci card and pentium with an isa card on 2.2 and 2.4 kernels so the method obviously will work.
1. Phoenix is not the name of the firebird database. It is just the name of a support website which advocates firebird, so why would they object to use of phoenix exactly?
2. And neither did linux trademark their name for a while until they were forced to by some idiot.
3. Yes, this will irritate me when I am looking for stuff related to one or the other.

oh my, what silliness you link to. I guess next they will be wanting more rights for those slave system
Where exactly is here?

Oops, you posted that while I was writing my correction, me bad
obviously you did not read my correction. An no, ms helped ibm due to the technology agreement.

Actually I messed up a bit, E1 PRI is 30 B channels and 1 D channel, not 29 B channels.

Windows 2003 server based on windows 2k core that has been out for years, so what exactly is your point?
it must be viable I use it every day, except that one day, but you get the idea

that dont solve it at all, one mentions the other but not vise versa its a one sided solution in the case of gentoo. So the confusion can be there.
