aus also is in desperate need of a thinkgeek alternative.. as far as i know the only geeklike online shop here is everythin linux, not good enough for the 'general geeks' who want a "i read ur email" shirt, a "WTF?" mug or a cool lava lamp;(.
even when i was with a small 56k isp, with a small customer base where they new me buy my first name, they wouldnt do it..
recently i changed to cable.. and they wouldnt do it..
to be quite honest, even in your AUP if you are allowed to run 'servers' on your end, they arent going to put themselves out by changing their settings for you.. costing them time (and probably money since there will be more bandwidth comming your way).. but on the other hand, if you are paying for a business acount (eg you pay per meg, have a static ip etc) it shouldnt be too hard.
why do you have to slashdot an aussie website! stay away! im trying to research the human body.. this aussie-us pipe isnt big enough for the two of us.. let me get my pr0n.
Codeweavers virtually is wine.. they have many full time and part time wine coders working for them, including the father and owner (and maintainer of the main wine tree) of wine, Alexandre Julliard working for them..
so there pretty cool..
on another note, i wonder if the google toolbar works:-)
See, thats were your wrong.. I will tell you have a social-engineering attack I did on a certain orginizatino (yes, it was legal, the IT department got me to do it).
Firstly, I got to know some of the higher-up staff members.. then, one day, I went into his office with my laptop to 'show him something'. Blugged into his ethernet port, and was able to sniff all packets, and redirect SSH using the MITM attack. After the hour I was there, I had root access to almost all servers (it was a carefuly chosen day when the upgrade the software on each box).
But, since they ahve several networks vlan'd, if the network port I got was very high, and hence if I had of plugged into 'any old lan' I wouldnt have been able to do what I did.
That is an example of how socail engineering can work.
anyone that has bought a loki game in the recent passed will know of there installer. It is a shell script which unzips and installs the game. It runs on any linux distro, and also installs an uninstall app (the app serves all loki games).
something like that, imho, would be the best way to approach a cross-platform installation..
talk to loki (or but a game or two) for more info on it.
we can destroy the internet as it is know, and use these little pigeons (maybe penguins that fly would be better) as our tunnel...
this way, everything would be almost to slow todo, except for the old schoolers that are used to there old 200bps modems..
now, everyone else decides to drop the internet, and we only have several people using it now..
then we will let it grow... but what will happen? i reckon itl end up like it is now.. again.
(a) some people see a chance for it making money
(b) they set up a 'bsp' or bird service provider
(c) this bsp has a user base of about 20
(d) several other small bsp's start. they hub together in a very unordered and unplanned fation, where each bird goes to a particular address, in its memory. unfortunatly the memory of pigioeons only holds 5, pengiuns actually hold 7.
(e) someone decides that the Australian's (me) want bird access.. and trains some pigeons to travel between us and au. Unfortunatly, most pigeons die because of the over loaded packages they are carying, bird loss is at 90%
(f) after a decade or so, despite its slowness, bird net is rocking along, with a whole 1000. Since the memory of a bird is maxed at 7 address', they have to start again. and where back to square one.
except for the fact that plugins are binaries, and being binaries they have to be compiled.. and in the current world, they are compiled using C or C++, or some other language that is platform dependant... so, they cant just me "compatible" considering code from one platform (windows) is not 100% portable to another platforum (unix os', linux, freebsd etc)..
i'd really like to see a builtin-standardized option for enabling SSL in channels.. so not only can you lock out people, you can also set that channel to SSL only, so peope cant sniff what your talking about..
it would be a BIG plus in terms of corporate discussions (and, possibly the plotting of murders..);p
excuse me? thats why i set my grandma up with linux mdk 7.1 when it came out (i use deb myself), and she uses it just like any 'normal' user would use a windows box..
she's 75, lives about 400km away from me, and is easily able to:
a) turn on her computer
b) play her card games
c) check email
d) browse the net
e) write documents in star office
f) print out nice greeting cards
what more is there too it? when someone as old as my grandma (who, never before i gave her this pc had used a computer), can use linux.. then YOU sir have a problem..
imho, windows is ALOT more complex to use..
its a LONG STANDING MYTH that linux is 'harder to use' than windows, its total bullokcs.. its the OTHER WAY AROUND.. and the only way linux is going to become MAINSTREAM is if this myth is KILLED!
so go out and spray TUX's all ove the street!... and install linux!
yep, all personal oppinion, and it does take time to master..
but, i think anyone, after enough practice, will relize gestures are useful.. afterall, itd be alot nicer just to draw a N to load up konqueor (imho), than click on the icon..
um
what unco planet are you from?
i've played b&w, by level 2 i was using gestures each time, wihtout fail...
it was alot easier than scrolling back to the temple tograb the gesture.. or even (i reckon) using a keyboard shortcut, or menu's.. its just there, twirl the mouse, done..
a few things to try:
a) wine... b&w didnt work a few weeks ago in WineX.. but hey, theres alot of devel going on, so maybe now it does?
b) freinds pc.. thats how i've been playing b&w alot lately...
maybe people should start for gestures to be put into lotsa different things.. in black&white (the short time i played it, until i found i had nfi howto finish level 3), i found gestures really fun, easy, and useful..
like, wouldnt it be awsome if kde implemented them.. circle your mouse around to maximize and stuff like that.. (especially if it did the little animation that happens in b&w;p)
so yer.. this is my call to have them put in lotsa things.. itd rock!
Slashdot Mirror
which one? the one that might get MS split up??
why is this one of the best linux laptops one can buy if it doesnt even have everything working? im totaly confused.
i thought it would be obvious.. all you need is adds and product placement.. in the game would be best (if possible).. follow?
since when.. i've been using 2.4.5 for ages - with reiserfs - and have had no problems...
i simple perl/php script or c program should be able to do this really simply.. just a couple of reg_exp's to replace a few blocks and your done..
aus also is in desperate need of a thinkgeek alternative.. as far as i know the only geeklike online shop here is everythin linux, not good enough for the 'general geeks' who want a "i read ur email" shirt, a "WTF?" mug or a cool lava lamp ;(.
anyone know of any?
even when i was with a small 56k isp, with a small customer base where they new me buy my first name, they wouldnt do it.. recently i changed to cable.. and they wouldnt do it.. to be quite honest, even in your AUP if you are allowed to run 'servers' on your end, they arent going to put themselves out by changing their settings for you.. costing them time (and probably money since there will be more bandwidth comming your way).. but on the other hand, if you are paying for a business acount (eg you pay per meg, have a static ip etc) it shouldnt be too hard.
no, he is just making a point about how unfair and descriminatory the US legal system is.
why do you have to slashdot an aussie website! stay away! im trying to research the human body.. this aussie-us pipe isnt big enough for the two of us.. let me get my pr0n.
why does it die youung? im confused..
they do use billions of transistors in CPU's you know...
But Does it Run Linux
im not entirely sure what a motorcycle has to do with running Linux...
Also, at the cost they mention, $150,000, it seems extraudinarily cheap for something with an engine that is used in helicopters...
Did the person forget to proof read there article or something?
i take it they dont have many 'clients' yet.. i just signed up, and im number 24 :-)

http://www-mice.cs.ucl.ac.uk/multimedia/software/r at/index.html
This is a very cool audio conferencing tool, runs on Linux, Windows, Solaris, SunOS, Irix, FreeBSD, NetBSD... and is open source.
have fun!
