I hope you actually planned for this to be funny...:) if not, consider this: The problem with your approach is the fact that your ISP's DNS server will actually cache all the domains you are resolving... If inproperly configured, the memory consumption of such a cache will sky-rocket... If properly configured (to drop oldest entries when approaching a predefined memory consumption limit) performance will drop considerably, because most requests will have to be resolved as most of the cache is filled with bogus requests, and "real" requests get dropped very fast... There is a real possibility that such action will affect your ISP's DNS cache more that it will have an influence on Verisign...
I don't like the situation we're in any more than the next guy, but please think all such actions through very carefully...;)
You heard wrong... The Nokia IDE for developing symbian applications doesn't work under Linux... The Java SDK can be used, but for symbian your'e stuck with Windows...
Actually it does apply... They want you to keep using Linux but pay them a licence fee for it (that's what they're saying)... They are using Linux without paying a licence fee to anyone, which is what they are doing (and dont want you to do)... Simple, isn't it?:) I'm confused...
What happened to VBScript? Not that I'm a fan of VBScript (I hate it for web pages, but it's great as a substitute for batch files...), but still... I have come across many web pages that give out VBScript code in pages when browsing with IE...
This is the same as asking whether a knife is for use in the kitchen or for cutting up my neighbour... Most tools we use in everyday life can be used for evil, and so can most security tools out there... Thats the way it is...
Yep, that was the term I was looking for... It's still early in the morning here, so forgive me...:D Like I said. There are a couple of firms in Slovenia, which make a living of of such devices and quite a few of them are actually running windows. These are quite complete systems for running a store or bar (and stuff like that)... Mostly it's windows 98 now, but I have seen quite a few running the 95 version. Only lately (a year or so) is Linux being used in this field and the start is a slow one... Oh well...
Actually I think you would be surprised how many devices (at least here in Slovenia) are running Windows 95. I'm talking about devices like game machines and... hm... how do you call the device a store has to keep money and print out a bill?:)
Sure, a lot of those devices used DOS before, but windows has drivers...
Linux came out 10 years ago. Now why would you want to boot that for? Linux is about freedom of choice, right? If Linux is all there is, there will be no more choice, so a 5MB Win95 bootable image is nice to have...
Not that I will be using it for anything, but still...
What does a red hat licence have to do with open source? Sure, the individual packages will still be developed, but the automagic updates will be no more (and other stuff... You get the picture...:))
For Word, I measured 'file- open speed' for 10-page files (there's little point in measuring 'editing' speeds). For Excel I opened 6 page spreadsheets with a bit of formulae
I'm assuming that you opened the same files with the appropriate program in Open office, right?
This doesn't really seem all that fair to me, as the Open office programs have to filter the documents to their internal representation.
That's the only real issue I have with (most!) onboard audio chips. The sound quality should satisfy most people on this planet (at least the chips I have had the pleasure of hearing), but if you need low-latency sound, you will run into problems. But then again. If you do need low-latency audio, you are probably looking for a (semi)professional solution, and onboard audio was not designed with that in mind, I guess...:)
Now I agree on this one...
Just imagine... On your desktop Linux/Be with all the multimedia and stuff, while in a dark corner a Linux machine acting as a server, no GUI, nothing. Just the bare power and stability you want from a server...
Cant imagine anything better...

U, great... thinkgeek...
Has anyone tried to order something from thinkgeek and get them to send it to Slovenia?
I was actually looking forward to these t-shirts... Oh well...
Forget about paypal also when living in Slovenia

JScript is available... It's not exactly JavaScript, but I haven't had any compatibility issues until now...
Pocket Internet Explorer is a full Internet browser with support for HTML, XML/XSL, WML, cHTML, Jscript & SSL.
