In other news, an as yet unheard of seven year old company is launching a new service to quickly find content among Gopher servers. Gopher is a treasure trove of useful textual content. "It's like Google for Gopher," says the report.
Not why I use it. Funny story that made me think of that though:
My girlfriend who was 17 at the time was messaged by a 24 year old guy who said "hey cutie, you're pretty hot, what's your number, i'll call you some time".
She was as freaked out so I told her she should give him her number, except that it would happen to be the same number of the police department.
There is a software solution for Windows called DeepFreeze. It works very well. I love seeing the look on faces when they delete random.dlls or change wallpaper only to find that they magically re-appear when the system reboots.
What is the film speed of IMAX anyway? The last IMAX movie I saw, the flicker was slightly visible. Then again, I cringe when ever I see a monitor at 60 Hz. Since the film size is larger it seems like it would be more prone to flicker unless film speed was faster. And if that's the case, then how do they plan on compensating for the difference in film speeds between 35mm and IMAX? Interpolation?
Adobe executives should not consider that every pirated copy is a personal attack on Adobe profitability. There are many social situations that require more social sophistication than that.
First, I don't think piracy is a "socal situation." It is clearly a financial situation. I highly doubt anyone pirates to make "a personal attack on Adobe profitability." They merely want to use software without cost, which profits them. Profit motive, it seems, is a more likely explanation than a "social situation."
I just gave up moderation to reply to this nonsense. The author attmepts to compare IIS 3 and 4 (ancient) with Apache. This would be like comparing Linux 1.0 to 2.4. There is none, and it's not fair.
First, IIS4 was written for NT 4. Even as a windows admin, I will be the first to admit that NT 4 is the most unreliable OS on the hardware that I have run. The same applies to IIS3-4. In fact they are so old, that a Gopher server is a hosting option.
Here we are in 2002. Windows 2000 and IIS5 going on Windows.NET and IIS6. IIS5 was quick and easy to install and configure. Want to run Java Servlets/JSP? Install the JRun ISAPI filter. Want to run Perl? Install ActivePerl.
I wonder if any of the commenters in favour of IIS actually moved FROM apache to it. IN my experience the traffic is all one-way...
For all fairness, I have tried Apache 1.3.x and it was nothing comparied to IIS5. The only thing Apache is good for, in my opinion, is to host static pages to anonymous readers on the Internet. In an intranet environment, IIS wins hands-down. The most important feature IMO is the ability to control page access with ACLs. A user can log onto a domain, access a page being served by IIS, and automatically be authenticated for that page.
Oh, did I mention that I can do all that without touching a text configuration file? I do not have to mess around with text files in which I have to edit, then restart the server.
It all depends on the kind of environment you are running. If you have a cheap box running Apache to serve pages in a non-enterprise environment, then thats fine. In an enterprise environment, the easiest, best solution is Windows/IIS. Chances are, an enterprise would be running Windows desktops in a domain. Since they would already be running Win NT/2000 Server, they would remain homogenous and serve off of IIS, regardless of claimed performance issues.
My guess is that when Symantec says they have received this proof-of-concept virus what they really mean is that they wrote it.
Now please tell me, what exactly would stop anti-virus employees from writing a virus that would either: a) get around anti-virus protection, requiring an "upgrade." or b) cause many companies and individuals to purchase new software.
In both of these situations, the programmer would be able to increase the value of their shares. But still, what would stop them? That is my "proof-of-concept."
Isn't this is like putting Capt. Hazelwood in charge of an oil tanker?
Actually, no. Captain Hazelwood was drunk at the wheel before the accident. Apparently he was a fine captain when sober. Microsoft has bad security whether or not you consider them to be drunk.
Depending on your platform, make sure you have a nice fast JDK/JRE like IBM's. In fact I would even change platforms for Java development performance.
The last time I have seen the benchmarks, the numbers were abysmal for all OSes besides Windows and Solaris. In fact, if you think benchmarks don't matter, try running Forte, my Java IDE of choice, on say... Linux. Please don't flame me for that, I really did try, but Windows 2000 Pro did not lag when clicking on the menu bar. (I have a PIII/850.)
Now perhaps this is a major weakness in write-once, run-everywhere Java, but Sun or IBM developers seriously need to concentrate on optimizing JDK/JRE for all platforms. Otherwise, if I can get best performance on Windows, why don't I use C#? I really hope they fix this problem.
In the mean time, my recommendation is Windows 2000 Pro/Forte for Java.
When was the last time Windows gave you a nice error.log when it blue-screened, or how about IIS on a buffer overflow?
In Windows 2000, you can configure the system to write a mini, kernel, or complete memory dump to %SystemRoot%\MEMORY.DMP on fatal errors. I have never tried this though.
As for IIS, that buffer overflow you mention is "completely theoretical", and consequently I don't think IIS has any reporting of this type.
Thanks for a circular argument. Perhaps you would like to prove their records of "undermining the Bill of Rights" with some evidence? If you are going to criticize people and their actions, do so constuctively. I cannot believe this post got modded up. Without support, the post is flamebait.
Hmmm.... this could be a great site for "reality TV" shows like Survivor or The Mole. Besides, we already know it makes a great plot for UserFriendly. Producers? Anyone?
What we really want to know is whether these search engines run Apache on Linux? Are they Beowulf clusters? Do they filter out petrified Natalie Portman and hot grits? Do they index slashdot properly? Is the pr0n all indexed?
These are important questions which must be seriously answered before changing search engines.
According to legislative officials, a virus has been propagating through the house.gov network. The rare "BritneySpearsToplessMovie.avi.exe" worm was executed, causing massive slowdowns. It is however, unknown whether these slowdowns were caused by the BritneySpears virus, or the increased "research" of the Britney Spears P2P phenomenon.

Now everyone is going to Gopher 2.0

He called it. =D

The power of Cold Fusion (their server) is still nothing compared with the power of the Slashdot effect!

Even if MS trys to implement this "TCP/MS" concept, what makes them think that routers will honor packets from this protocol?
