I used to have a LaCie 40gb Pocket Drive (5400rpm). I sold it due to lack of money for food and rent. Anywho, the 2.5" is quiet, and there is no fan. I was also able to power the drive from FireWire.
My new Maxtor(5400rpm) offer no such luxury (although it also is fanless and pretty quiet).
You may consider me a noise freak by the way. I have a fanless C3 733mhz with a fanless 60watt psu as my main computer.
The thing is that one can download as much as one likes for personal use. The exception is illegal material like child porn, zoo porn, snuff etc. One can also share downloaded stuff with family and friends. It is however against the law to distribute material that without the correct lisences. Again, the execption is family and friends.
The police have done raids against so called pirates in Norway, and they get prosecuted. You just don't get fined or canned if you share with your loved ones. Makes sense doesn't it?
The article does not say anything about storing data on the pen. Each pen has a uniqe id that the computers can read. The actual file transfer goes through a wireless, or other type of network connection.
So there is no shipping documents inside the pen, and no scanning.
Whats new about shipping digital love letters inside a pen anyway? Current usb-flashdrives or even cd-roms works great for this already. By the way, have you ever heard of e-mail? Its kinda cool. You can even encrypt the contents if you are paranoid.
What is so difficult about ctrl+click? I just do not get it. It takes about 1 day to get used to it. I use a one button mouse, for everything else there is keyboard shortcuts.
What are you talking about? In what way is GNU/Linux proprietary and closed? You have complete access to the Linux source code, and you could even submit patches to the sourcetree if you had the skill. Again, what are you talking about?
The customer is always right?

Germany Muzzles SCO

· Score: 5, Insightful
Finally SCO Group GmbH is prohibited to threaten to sue Linux users unless they bought SCO Linux or Caldera Linux.
SCO is only allowed to threaten people that actually bought Caldera or SCO linux? Good thing I never bought either then...
And there are those that are plain stupid. At my college this c.s.(that right, computer science) chick asked me for help after opening an attachement sent to her Hotmail account. The computer had obviously been infected by a virus. (It was called smilie or something like that). Now the real silly part is that the subject and text in the email she got was in spanish. I asked her if she even knew any spanish. She did not. She had opened a file attached to an email written in a language she did not understand!
As long as people keep passing around those "funny" powerpoint files, people will also spread viruses.
I may of course be mistaking, but the operating system was not Windows, but DOS. And the popularity came not from the operating system, but the price of the machines (combined with the IBM brand).
Very very large TIFFs? No. They are 256x256, 128x128, 64x64 and 32x32. In colour and monochrome. Fire up Icon Composer (developer tools) and see for yourself. No magic, just square plain jpegs, (or TIFF).
Indeed you are right. I remember now. Askjeeves had this type of service. Quite amusing. That one was not Javascript though. Javascript could always be turned of anyhow.
You can also get a service which displays ongoing search requests (I can't find it right now). So there is your search request displayed for the world to see.
Its called Referer and is a variable transfered from the http client to the server. They could of course change, say Mozilla, to not upload the uri to the refering site when conducting these searches.
Thats right, he wrote the GUI to DeCSS way back. But since then he has gained lots of experience. He is obviously a better programmer after three(four?) years.
He codes some pretty cool stuff these days. Like the os x port of Video Lan Client.
I don't know about Panther, but the "upgrade version" of jaguar bundled with my girlfriends iBook a year ago required 10.1 to be installed. It was quite painfull each time I went for a clean install. 10.1 first, then upgrade to 10.2. $19.95 versions of Panther would probably be the same.
I took the liberty of upgrading my own iBook back then. Please don't tell anyone. This time we went for a familly lisence of Panther.

At least I think it does.
They are probably in for a extra-large bandwidth bill.

My wrong. Largest icon size is 128x128. In addition photoshop images is the most convenient format to use.

You can use GPL'ed software as much as you want. You cannot however distribute it unless you agree to the license terms.
In metric water boils at 373 degres kelvin. Celcius is more apropriate for everyday use of course.

That would be 20 year anniversary.
ut iirc the first places i started seeing virii were webpage collections of said stuff with other leet words generally thrown in
First account of the 'word' Virri on dejanews that I could find was this one:
Roy M. Turner (royt@gitpyr.UUCP) 1985-06-28 07:28:35 PST
Yeah. Viruses (virii?? (-: ). Also Plasmodium spp., ie., Malaria, does
something similar, I believe. Long time for me, too!
Roy.

Apperantly servermask is their product. When I try a site I knew running IIS response is like so:
Protect your Web server identity with ServerMask!
Why let anyone find out you're running a Microsoft IIS server? Don't tempt potential hackers!
Try ServerMask FREE for 30 days. Download Now!
Buy ServerMask for only $49.95 today!
No: "No matter what the above results show, this company may be running Apache and protecting its Web server identity with ServerMask."
Security through masking the server string sounds very secure. sigh.

Maybe that's why they call it the Free software movement.
Free as in freedom of speech, not free as in beer. So the answer must be no.
Which of course is a carbon app..
Gotta love that $60 family pack sticker.
