What are we? Savages? We're people like everyone else. We just get together to do different things. Instead of having BBQs we get together for gaming. Hey Bill! Come on over and we'll play my new PS2 game! Bring over your laptop and we'll get the rest of the guys over for a LAN party!
There's no way a zip archive could achieve this kind of compression. It's a bad compression utility..tar.gz is much better at saving space. Even better than that is.tar.bz2. Still, none of these will compress to that extent.
The big deal about this one is that the testing is done by a real company. It's written by a senior programmer at IBM. Many of us would hesitate to dismiss what he says here. This is not some sponsored study as were many tests that have been done in the past.
I saw the second plane hit the building as I was on the phone with my wife who was staying at her parents with my 3 week old son. I saw debris fly everywhere and a huge fireball. At that time I told my wife I love her and ran to put on some clothes and flee my apartment. After grabbing the first clothes I could see, I ran out into the street where there were thousands of people littering the streets in amazement. Utterly stunned at what had happened. Women were crying and running. Everyone was getting as far away as possible. As I walked I saw people jumping or falling from the building's upper floors. I will never forget that sight for as long as I live. I walked up to my office which was about 25 minutes from the WTC. From there I was able to call family and loved ones to let them know I was ok. Co-workers who had made it into the office were crowded near a radio as our internet service was spotty at that time. From the corner office we all saw both towers collapse. We saw dust covered cars and dust covered people making their way uptown from the financial district. After finally deciding to leave the office and try to get to Queens, I had to walk from Spring Street where my office is to the 59th street bridge and walk across. In Queens I managed to catch the 7 train to Flushing and get my father-in-law's car. I drove a coworker home and then made my way back to my in-law's house where I am staying. I might not be able to go back home for weeks. I am not sure what has happened to my home or my neighborhood. One thing is for certain though. A lot will have changed. Tonight after dinner I went to the nearest hospital to donate blood. I have never done this before and now is when I am ready to start. I am glad that my family and all the people I know are ok. My thoughts go out to those who didn't make it.
I've got 3 words about what Microsoft is doing better. Marketing marketing marketing. That's all they seem to be doing with.NET. This is how they plan to win the Java war and it will work for them as it has in the past. Throw millions at marketing your new product.
Courtney Love has made me open my eyes to the evils of the record companies and the RIAA. Some great stuff said here. Something to note about the mp3.com suit here and how horrible our current music distribution system is. the record companies are taking money away from artists, some of whom really deserve to have it. I totally recommend reading this article in its entirety.
Music is intellectual property with full cash and opportunity costs required to create, polish and record a finished product. If I invest money and time into my business, I should be reasonably protected from the theft of my goods and services. When the judgment came against MP3.com, the RIAA sought damages of $150,000 for each major-label-"owned" musical track in MP3's database. Multiply by 80,000 CDs, and MP3.com could owe the gatekeepers $120 billion.
But what about the Plimsouls? Why can't MP3.com pay each artist a fixed amount based on the number of their downloads? Why on earth should MP3.com pay $120 billion to four distribution companies, who in most cases won't have to pay a nickel to the artists whose copyrights they've stolen through their system of organized theft?
Rather than falling for the blind rants of some companies, linux users tend to believe what we hear on the graphics/gaming front. We're getting tired of being treated as second class citizens when it comes to graphics and games.
I feel like the most important member of the/. community today. I wrote emails to my governor and to my local representative stating that I feel that UCITA is wrong, and that they should review it carefully before making it law. Why don't more of you go out and do the same?
Yes it looks like they do run IIS/NT on their front end, but can you tell what the backend really is just from looking it up at Netcraft? This break-in may not mean that the front end webserver was cracked, it would more likely mean that a backend database machine was broken into.

How can Microsoft keep putting out biased factiods with their obvious spin on things and still be gaining customers? Are all the people in IT in this country (and around the world for that matter) that stupid that they'd switch to W2K/NT/IIS simply because Microsoft comes up with another "study" that shows them to be more reliable? Come on people. We all know the facts. We've experienced the problems with previous versions of Windows and we know how much time and energy it takes just to get things working cleanly. Do they expect to spoon-feed us garbage over and over and us to just sit there and eat is up like a bunch of gullible Johns (Janes)?
This should be small potatoes compared to the recent press release from Veritas Software. For backups at least, Veritas Netbackup is a far superior product (imho).

Just stick that in your user.js preferences file under $HOME/.mozilla//aza0vbic.slt/ and you should be good to go!
Stupid spelling errors...my bad.

Would that not fix the bandwidth problem of SCSI and IDE? If I'm wrong someone explain why.

I wouldn't know what Amazon is up to because I'm still boycotting them!

What pisses me off is that there's a patch for the windows version, but none for the linux (or mac!) versions yet.
June 12th was last month.
How about a picture of the damn things. Show us what it looks like!

This means nothing to any of us until this stuff is released under the GPL. Until then, its useless marketing garbage.
Now I can register that all important domain that everyone who watches Saturday Night Live on a regular basis needs to have:
clownpenis.fart
Me + most Mexican (and some chinese) foods = methane gas.
Look at the size of that title!

It would require that you run it as root, shutdown ipchains, allow telnet logins and give away your root password!

The next step is to put hotmail and AOL on the RBL!
