And what exactly is your point? I don't even have a gun, but if I catch my wife screwing around, she's dead. End of story. She knows it, I know it, and everyone who knows us both knows it. In fact, this was made clear from the first date.
That is because we are raised on Shakespeare and are standing on the forward portion of the timeline. Someone from that time attempting to understand US, though, is a compeletely different mattter-- he would have no frame of reference for our language, our technology, our dress...
According to the article, "The settlement--which involves 11 cases filed in five countries--will essentially make it far easier for Via to sell processors and chipsets to PC makers."
Where did the 27 come from? Oh, wait: "In total, 27 patents were at issue in the various cases."
Man, reading comprehension must be in short supply these days. There were 11 lawsuits involving 27 patents.
Speaking of reading comprehension, the settlement is for the following: "For the first three years, Intel has agreed not to sue Via for making processors that come with buses and pin structures that are similar to Intel's products. Similarly, Intel has granted Via a license to make chipsets that are pin- and bus-compatible with Intel products for four years, and has agreed not to sue Via or its customers for using pin- and bus-compatible chipsets for another year beyond that."
So they can essientially get away with selling them for FIVE years, not three.
According to IE 6/XP's "Search Companion", this feature "provides task suggestions and automatically sends your search to other search engines."
How does this occur if it doesn't transmit the information to Microsoft as well?
Sure, if I add a search engine into the preferences, I can type "google keyword" all I want to go directly to Google. I suspect, though, that if I rely on the "features" that Microsoft provides, they have access to exactly the same information-- regardless of what the article might claim.
So the NY Times has enough sense to realize that self-adaptive sites are good, and therefore writes up a nice little story about it, but then posts this information on a site that is as far from that model as one can get?
I seem to recall the old Sierra adventure games were in a specialized format. They were then loaded by an interpreter on the machine. When porting to another OS all they had to do was port the small loader mechanism-- the game itself required no changes.
Agenda isn't a "new OS". It is Linux. The real McCoy. And it is X. And bash. And whatever else you port.
Leverage open-source operating system and tools.
Source-available system utilities and productivity suite software.
Program in C or C++.
Use familiar tools and libraries like gcc and glibc.
Don't settle for less - the VR3 runs Linux 2.4 and XFree86.
Build user interfaces easily using the built-in FLTK library.
Access databases efficiently using built-in libdb support.
I absolutely agree. It's a freakin' cartoon, for crying out loud. What next, "news" about Scooby Doo or the Smurfs? Come on, people, let's grow up and leave the funny little drawings for those young enough to care-- kids.
It would seem that a number of people missed some highly interesting pieces in the press release. Therefore, relevant snippets from the English press release, with emphasis added, is included below--
StarOffice 6, the next version currently in development, will serve as the source code base for OpenOffice.org. With the upcoming StarOffice 6 technology, the next generation architecture of separate applications and componentized services will be introduced.
Major Linux companies, including Red Hat, Caldera, SuSE, TurboLinux, Easy Linux, Mandrakesoft, Stormix, Conectivia, Definite Software PLC, and Macmillan, have signed agreements to redistribute StarOffice(TM) 5.2 software, making it the number one office productivity suite for Linux and most have pledged support for OpenOffice.org.
In addition to the GPL, Sun intends that all code contributions to the OpenOffice.org project, including Sun's contribution of the StarOffice source code, will be made available under the Sun Industry Standards Source License (SISSL). This dual-licensing approach is designed to allow all organizations and individuals to use the source code freely and openly as they choose. An important requirement of the SISSL license is that it requires compatibility with the GPL reference implementation of the OpenOffice.org source code, including APIs and file formats. Copies of both the GPL and the SISSL licenses are available at http://www.openoffice.org/licensing/.
Sun will retain copyright to the source code and Sun's ongoing engineering work on StarOffice software will be done as part of OpenOffice.org. Beginning with StarOffice 6.0, a branded version of the OpenOffice.org reference implementation will be made available under the StarOffice software brand.

Clarion (as well as a whole slew of others) are offering Microsoft's AutoPC platform which does voice contolled MP3, CD, radio, and navigation (among other things such as road rage 'video' games, poker/blackjack, trivia, and etext reading).
First generation can be found on online auctions for around $700 for the complete package, second generation with hardware MP3 decoding and DVD support will be released later this year for entry level price in the $1,200 - $1,500 range (or so I believe). While steaper, this will undoubtedly push the 1st gens down in price even more-- *and* they include the GPS system.
And, yes, I know it is M$. But honestly these units are pretty nice -- and this from a diehard Linux advocate.

It is in my corrected code, yes. Not in the original post-- which was precisely my point. ;-)
Consider me stupid, but why isn't this as follows instead?
function saltedMD5($plaintext)
{
$salt = randomString(8);
$ciphertext = md5($salt . $plaintext);
$saltycipher = '$1$' . $salt . '$' . $ciphertext;
return $saltycipher;
}
In other words, in your example, why isn't the calculated salt actually used in the MD5?
Seems like all the original pseudocode did was prepend some random chars in front of the hash which had no effect on the cypher?
Not to be a cynic, but "at some point" they will "somehow" figure out how to open source Java?
And at some point I'll somehow figure out how to make a million dollars while sitting at home playing my Playstation, too.
I fail to see how this qualifies as news.
Some of the pages have quite impressive voice inflections.
Does anyone know what they might be using to generate the voices? I poked around for a while but never found anything on what actually creates them.

Somehow that amuses me...

From the developer's site:

ZDNet has an article about the VR3 as well.
Among the more interesting tidbits, you can hook up to the VR3's RS232 serial port and telnet or ftp right into the PDA.
The article also has full technical specs and a picture of the PDA in its cradle.
