If your Windows NT system crashes, you may not lose the entire disk volume, but you will likely lose all the data that hadn't yet been written to the disk prior to the crash.
That is true with all journaling filesystems, and filesystems in general. Repeating a flawed assumption from another user doesn't make it fact. Journaling filesystems are transaction based similar to how dbms's work. All activity is written to a transaction log and every once and a while the transaction log is written to disk. Even less frequently, updates actually occur where real data is written to disk. If you crash before a transaction log is written to disk, you lose that transaction, if you crash after the transaction log is written, but before the update log is written, the os can redo the transaction.
O'Reilly is nothing more than Animal porn. They just LOOK like computer books. I should know I saw one at a bookstore and it had an animal on the cover.
according to the few people I know that need accessibility features, the built in windows ones aren't that useable. 3rd party ones like zoom text will invert the colors and such that window's won't do;
You can get the CDs / DVD from sources other than SuSE. Burnt discs are being auctioned / sold all the time. I paid $30 (that includes fast shipping) to get my 8.2 Pro discs, and it was money very well spent.
I run a consulting business, and I have at least one client who is looking to migrate servers and desktops to Linux in 6 - 12 months. SuSE will be my distro of choice when that time comes.
Generally, the cd layout is copyrighted, so it is illegal.. and questionably immoral to just make a copy of a cd that someone else paid them for. Besides, if you are going to pay $30 for warez, why not pay the $45 for the real thing and get the support that comes along with as well as giving back from the company.
Believe it or not, disabled people are great source of of profits and companies are not afraid to exploit their monopoly power. Braille pads for the blind cost thousands of dollars, now bobby behaving like an ass... I sincerely hope w3 takes the lead creating a free, open source validator that checks their own specs
Exactly, ZoomText which makes windows accessible to the visually impared costs something like $400-$700 a license and if you are a university, you have to buy several licenses instead of being able to network install it when its needed or put it on a ghost image.
There is no need to use the DMCA, just file suit against a john doe, aka his ebay account and then get a subpeona for his real info.
If that doesn't work, just sue ebay for contributory copyright infringement since they "have the right and the ability to supervise the infringing abilities" of another..
I truly hope this guy takes an introspective look at his decision and realizes that perhaps he was treated so poorly by the community because the community felt they were treated poorly by him.
he wasn't treated poorly by the community, he was treated poorly by the company.
If there is a required reading list for Slashdot, Transmet has to be at the top.
If you tried to read all of the material that people think should be on the slashdot required reading list, there would be no time to bathe or have sex. Well I guess that explains a few things..
Can you name me any technology that hasn't gotten cheaper over time? CD players? Microwave ovens? Cars? Cell phones? Wristwatches? Calculators? Even electricity itself is getting cheaper and cheaper every year, allowing for inflation.
I refuse to believe that legacy free is half as an important concept as people make it out to be.
What the hell does legacy free mean anyway? No floppy drives? No ISA slots? Who decides what legacy is, apple has pretty much decided for their consumers that floppy drives are worthless, forcing them to buy them from 3rd parties. Is this really a good thing, I don't think so.
I went to the microsoft.net lauch at depaul university, and they were handing out bags with a copy of xp and a shrinkwrapped bag with vis studio.net with the same thing "unlicensed software, illegal without a separate license from microsoft".
About a week later, they emailed everyone who went to the launch telling us not to sell the software since it would be violating the eula by doing so.
Somehow I don't really buy this stance since I haven't opened any of the shrinkwrapped containers, and they gave me the software for free, I think I can do whatever I want with it.
It's hardly legal to give someone something and then try and dictate what they do with it.

Too bad there are no pics of the case actually on a working PC.
Odd, I usually consider it putting the pc into the case, not putting the case unto the pc. I guess it's about the same difference though.

wtf, is that supposed to mean?
good point.. i just wanted something to get past the loser filter..
Current ink-jet printer ink is way too fragile in daylight to be considered any useful for long time preservation.
Most computer paper is acid free anymore.. even the stuff thats $2.99 a ream at walmart.

Assholes.

The worms, C. elegans, share many biological characteristics with humans and are the size of a pencil tip."

..the network is Gnutella, the open-source nature of which effectively places it outside the control of any single entity.
What would be the implications of the invention of a machine that could get you from A to B in a fraction of a second?
a lot of machines can do that where the distance from a to b is a small number.

Am I the only one that prior to this incident has never heard of FireBirdSQL?
This ties into the Slashdot story awhile back about new titles for sysadmins."
No it doesn't.

DVD's, Gas, Cars, the list goes on and on.
You'll note that there is no money in Star Trek. Likely for the reason that if you can replicate anything, it's not necessary any more.
What about gold pressed latnium?

Too bad all the ones on that site aren't for real.
So now that this is out, how long until someone makes a flight sim add-on for openoffice.
