Then again, once you get yourself rich, what are you gonna do with all of your money.... sure, we could put the $120/year in the bank and let it build up at x.x%, then in 30 years all that money would have snowballed into.... hmmm... $4-$5k?
or, I could ENJOY those 30 years...
my personal enjoyment, or not buying something simply because it puts money into "the media giants" pockets.... tough decision
The massive amount of money lost by corporate America?!?!
First of all, since when do we start supporting corporate america?
since when do you use plastic? oil? drive a car? eat something produced by Kraft (and subsidies)
I don't think you understand... these companies lost money due to this virus, the money figures come from when an email server goes down because it's been innundated with email, taking out the company's resources... imagine... an office full of salaried workers doing absolutely nothing because their email/file server is dead...
and who pays for it? we do... we pay $.02 more for a box of mac & cheese... $.05 more for a gallon of oil because Texaco's cross-country communications were taken down, and a couple freighters had to stop in the middle of the pacific.
We shouldn't blame the guy who wrote the virus, right? just like we shouldn't blame the script kiddies that DDoS our web sites...
maybe subscribers can have other subscribers' posts scanned for the words "submit*" and "reject*", and automatically mod them down.... because now the bitching is only going to get worse... instead of "My submission got rejected", it'll be "I'm paying money for this and my submission got rejected"
I just don't like the idea of paying money to OSDN when they are primarily focused on making money. It's just a fucking contradiction. "We're the Open Source Development Network, line our pockets, suckers!" Yeah. That's the spirit of free software! Woohooo!
Now, if they were to have open accounting, where we could see what their costs are, where their income originates, what they use it for, etc. I'd be glad to contribute. Until then, they can run their advertisements, and die for all I care. Fuck 'em.
Yeah!!! in the spirit of free software!!! Use our Bandwidth, Use our Servers!!!! Go ahead, it's FREE!!!
wait a second... correct me if I'm wrong... what does OSDN stand for? OHHHH... it isn't called FSDN (Free Software Developer Network)???
You're the type of guy that goes to the Homeless' Soup Kitchen, bitching that you don't know how much the resturaunts make off your business
What in the world would posess you to want just a KM switch? If you have enough monitors for all of your machines, then you should be able to find 4 inches of space....
other than that, I believe Belkin makes adapters for use with their KVM to be able to attach Macs... check them out
I'd recommend a USB Switch.... any PC/Mac worth buying a KVM to control it should have USB... and turn off "halt on keyboard errors" in the bios, and you're fine
I want it now.... unless it's for my job, and then it doesnt matter what I want, we have to go by standards, and spending an extra $500 to use the "industry standard" is alright with them
if I have to sign up for stuff, then I expect an email RIGHT away... if I don't get it within 5 minutes, I'm off searching again until I find somewhere where I can get what I want...
With Firewire on the unit, you can very easily have a firewire drive for slow-access storage (i.e. mp3's, DivX, etc)
keep in mind that this isn't a laptop... this is a iPaq/Palm style machine, which plugs into a shell to become a laptop, or a desktop...
imagine running 3D games on an iPaq style machine?
*Damn compaq and their stupid naming conventions.... "Let's call everything iPaq, so nobody will ever know what other people are talking about"... yeah.. not a good idea.... anyways, when I say iPaq, I'm talking about the PocketPC line
I signed up with iomega for their beta software testing... their first firmware had some retarded bugs, so when they notified me that they had new firmware, I downloaded it the first day....
unfortunately I don't have my hipzip here @ college, otherwise I'd tell you the software version
believe it or not, I can play.ogg files on my hipzip... which is a good thing after I converted all of my mp3s to ogg...
of course, I am running a beta firmware, and I don't know if it's the latest or what... I don't have any problems, so I've never needed to update again....
and remind me what you were doing burning the software into the hipzip if you worked for dadio?
and what do the head of vorbis and icecast have to do with the hipzip? why would the dadio developers give them an image? interesting to ponder.....
I've modded quite a few mice, and never seen them with buttons the same as a keyboard's buttons (i.e. the cheap plastic dome type, or any other, for that matter)....
if I were doing it (and it seems like an awesome idea....) I would go to radioshack and see if they have any quarters (1/4" x 1/4" momentary push button)... quite often they don't carry them in stock, but you might get lucky... if nothing else, ask them to order some for you from their ".com" (or business) catalog... they're often about $.10 a piece... and tell them:
"you went in to the store over on this other street, and the manager said he wouldn't charge you for shipping on it, but you decided to go to this store to see if they had them in... so could you take the shipping off so I don't have to go to the other store"
You guys suffer from the "my child is better than your child syndrome", the very same condition that plagues PTA's across the country....
you automatically assume that because this is your baby, and you've poured tons of personal hours into it, that it HAS to be better than windows
oh, and by the way, I've got a box with an old version of BIND on it.. and SSH, which I assumed was secure...
don't give me crap about "a few security holes", but only in linux, not other *nix's... ALL SOFTWARE HAS A SECURITY HOLE IN IT NOW AND THEN... the difference is that 90% of the people EXPECT it from windows, while 90% of the people think of *nix as being bullet-proof...
your solution with mozilla works fine, as long as mozilla is on the system... otherwise you'd be in the same mess.... and what about an independant programmer who wants to program for *nix?... what kind of packaging should he use? apt? rpm? tar.gz? does he know that the storm-debian directory structure is slightly different that the regular directory structure for some items, and that apt doesnt always recognize this?
I've used *nix, don't take me for a newbie... I recognize it's power and security, but for someone who doesnt want to look for SSH patches, make sure red-hat didn't install bind, dependancy issues, etc, etc... and just wants things to work, There is honestly no substitute for windows currently.
Eudora is safe... but assuming that you're safe only because you're using eudora is foolish.
Saying that Eudora has a bug because they choose to offer IE rendered email is false
I have all HTML rendering turned off... This reduces the amount of spam I get down to maybe 1 or 2 "unsolicited" a day... in many emails, the sender sends it in HTML, with a small graphic in the html that could look something like this:
While Windows 2000 doesnt always work, it's reliability is more than enough for me, and the fact that there are many many talented people out there programming good quality programs for windows, which are easier to install and generally are more aesthetically pleasing than their *nix cousins.
Running a *nix system takes a lot of time and effort, because without that, *nix is even worse as far as security than w2k.... however with my system, I run a Router/Firewall, and I'm protected from everything but my own stupidity, and to protect me from that, I use Eudora...
It's easy to pick on MS, especially when they've done all of the things that the *nix community needs to do, and done them better
You may be right, KDE3 and Evolution may be superior to windows, but that is 2 applications... As soon as I can boot up linux, think up something I want to do, search on download.com for a program, and if it's there, click and it works, then I'll permanantly switch... I know apt is getting good, I've used it, but there are still distros that fuck with apt and break that...
for the record, he asked about laptops... now, it may seem quite obvious to me, but maybe it's not so obvious.... it is not possible to install another video card on a laptop...
one other thing... ATI's drivers for win2k are a tad bit shady when dealing with dual monitors.... my ATI Rage Pro 2x AGP will only run "Mirror" in win2k, while it will do regular multi-monitors just fine in 98
Somewhere I was told that win2k doesn't support regular multiple monitors, but as I own a radeon VE, I know that's entirely untrue
The worst part is that it's the moisture in the air that helps cool things off... water can absorb a lot more energy than air can, so the more humid the air, the more heat it can dissipate
They didn't ask because it's not up for discussion.... you see... they have to pay bills, and after all of the stories Slashdot has had about sites going under because they couldn't pay up, I think it's obvious that this is the only way they can keep the site up
and no... it's not a flaw that the people who use the site the most pay the most... after all, they're using the most bandwidth!
and keep in mind, we are not being forced to pay a subscription... after all, it is possible to browse with ads on!!! (and not even filter them... imagine that...)
and for all you idiots that complain about using bandwidth/time for loading images... those who use slashdot so much that it'll cost them a lot to subscribe will more than likely have a high-speed connection, and thus it'll only waste an inch of their screen
He said it doesnt work... he said it's not very stable
it seems that the reason he's thinking about it is the equipment they might get from MS...
I don't know if it works, but I say go for it... run benchmarks and see how it handles, let us know so that these stupid babies that think their box is superior to everything else simply because it's running linux know... if it works better, it works better.. if it doesnt, it doesnt.... if it's designed for something totally different, then let us know that too...
not all software is created to do the exact same things... imagine, if you will, that linux isn't the end-all, be-all... imagine that MS doesn't give a flying fuck about beowolf clusters, but instead they thought they could guarantee uptime with clustering...
What... oh... because YOU haven't heard of it, it must NOT work correctly.... of course MS would be marketing the hell out of Clustering, look at all of the good it's done Linux....
oh yeah....
not much....
oh... and Hack the source code? of course you can't do this with windows... what I don't understand is that you seem to have looked at the link... why don't you understand that hacking the OS isn't needed
OMG, alert the press, MS doesnt update all of their pages for a product they released 2 years ago... oh... maybe they wrote it right the first time, and they didn't need to update it
Come on guys... use your fucking heads... he didn't ask why he shouldn't use windows to cluster... and we can all figure out that you need liscenses for each computer... take away those two types of responses, and all you have is First Posts, and about 30 helpful guys...
Oh... lets's pick on MS because they've been pushing us around... of course it's inferior to Linux, because they're a monopoly... oh... it doesnt do what beowolf does, so theres no way it can be useful at all....
I'm almost ashamed to be reading/., it's turned into a slumber party where all of you little girls bitch about the stupid boys (MS)... grow up
