Just spray some WD-40 on your head. My uncle claims that it works wonders for his knee when it's about to rain. Then again, he probably smokes crack about the same time, so that might have something to do with it also...
This whole thing reminds me of elementary school. I was pretty little, but I was a smart-ass and I liked to piss people off. So I would go an taunt the big kids and they would chase me around and then all beat the snot out of me. SCO seems to have taken this (somewhat stupid) idea from me. I should sue, that idea is my intellectual property.
It would be nice if someone made an app or a software suite that fit on one of these which would handle things like ssh, vpn, pgp, and other such things, without the need for the windows registry or dependence upon unix libraries.
Even better would be something cross platform, like have a perl interpreter for linux and another for windows and write the whole thing in perl.
Sounds like you should convince MS that they should send the company a bill for those PDA's since they were for end-user's only and they obtained them under false pretenses.:)
I already have the game. While it's entertaining, I don't think it's anything to write home about. Aren't they breaking some laws trying to copy Nokia's work?:)
What transmission scheme are they using? With CAP, you can expect lower latencies, around 10ms I think. However, most telcos are switching to DMT because I think it's more scalable. Unfortunately, DMT gives crappy latency, I've seen 60ms in some cases.
22ms latency to leave your ISP's backbone is actually quite good for DSL.
Featurewise, most cable modems are crappy, but their latency is better than DSL in most cases.
As far as VoIP goes, 300ms will still give good results. Some codecs don't play nicely with high latencies, but I've used VoIP with a 600ms latency satellite link, and it worked just fine. The latency on your TDMA or GSM phone is several hundred ms, just call another cell phone from yours and put one up to each ear and talk, there's almost a second delay.
When I'm done with this vessel, I will transplant myself into John Malkovitch. I found this hole in the wall behind a filing cabinet that lets me get inside him and control him. I won't tell where it is though.
Didn't linus say no more new features at this point? Didn't Reiser try this same damn thing last time, fighting with the kernel people to get his stuff in after the feature freeze?
It's not OK to share Metallica tunes! Have you heard their latest album? It's crap, and it's a waste of valuble bandwidth.
I bet making shitty music is their new plan to stop people from sharing it. They should should send this idea over to the patent department, I'm sure it would go right through.
You could just do what some girl I know did... She had a spreadsheet with all of the IP's for the network on it. She was assigning them in ascending order and was around.250. I asked her what she was going to do when she ran out of IP's, and she said it was OK, because she had the spreadsheet numbered to.300.:)
Unfortunately, this is illegal. I work for one of the companies listed in the article.
It's against the law. The feds say that all ATM transactions must have positive ID of the cardholder (PIN number, driver's license swipe, etc) As far as electronic money transfers go, there has to be some positive identification on the person sending the money, but curiously from what I can find, not on the person receiving it.
Actually, just because the data is coming from a certain IP does not mean that's where the actual file is coming from. Freenet essentially builds itself a large private encrypted network, with each node storing data, and routing traffic coming from other places. There's no way to prove the file came from a particular machine because the data in the store is all encrypted, it could have simply been routing it.
You wanna argue that if you route that traffic then you're liable?? Then you'll have to also argue that service providers are liable also since that data is passing through their systems.
So, they want to clog our courts and prisons with people who did nothing more than share a few files? And taxpayers end up paying for it? This is ridiculous.
"I killed 14 people wit an icepick, what you in fo'?"
"I shared 50GB of music, with a Dell. Ph33r m3!!!!"
I used to work for the Mathematics dept at the University of Minnesota. We had a lab up on the 3rd floor that had 2 SGI Irix machines and 4 mono NeXT workstations in it. We were going to decomission these machines and replace them with some P133's running linux. 2 of the NeXT machines were removed first, and then quickly replaced as about half of the professors bitched to no end about us taking away their NeXT boxes. We put them back. As far as I know, they are probably still there.
I used to sneak up there to play Doom because those were the only machines we had that had it installed.
I kind of want to get an old Cube and stick the guts of a G4 or G5 in it. Now that would be cool.
I've had a couple of Dells supplied by my employers over the last few years. In fact, I have one now. All of them have one thing in common... they suck. Drop them once, and it's pretty much guaranteed to break. Batteries rarely last me more than 9 months. And the sheer number of repairs I've seen our helpdesk have to do on them is insane (weird that the sony's never had hardware randomly fail unless dropped).
Personally, I like the IBM's, even though they are ugly. HP Omnibook was a sweet little slimtop, but I don't think they make it anymore. My roomie has one and it's quite nice.
Personally, out of all of the laptops I have now, and all that I've had in the past, my iBook is by far the nicest. Great battery life, and it contrary to what some have said, it does take a beating. I'll be getting a 12" powerbook to replace my aging iBook. But for work, I'm stuck with a crappy dell, and sadly, it's one of their top of the line ones.
Yeah, well ATT Broadband specifically blocked SIP traffic to Vonage from my segment of their network. I got on the phone with a 3rd level tech, and he saw the access list in one of their routers and removed it. Shortly after, someone put it back.
Technically, aren't they committing a felony by disrupting communications of a POTS phone call, because that's eventually what it becomes.
"The FBI is taking this very seriously," FBI spokesman Bill Murray said. "Hacking is a crime and those who participate in this activity will be investigated and brought to justice."
Bill then claimed that July 6th would never arrive for him as he is forever stuck on Groundhog Day. He then shot himself in front of reporters.
I've been looking at this recently to see how different things will affect my network, since I can't really test them on the live network without making a lot of people and clients really mad. I have not used it yet though.
I prefer to design the network simply using Visio to get a good logical design, and then once that is down, I create another map with the physical layout. Worry about your routing protocols after you have figured out the best logical design (redundancy, required link speeds, etc.). Most network admins have a favorite routing protocol, which for most seems to be EIGRP with cisco equipment. I personally like OSPF because it offers enormous flexibility, and it works with equipment from vendors other than Cisco.
There's a fine line between an ingeniously designed network and something that is overly complex. It takes experience to figure out where that line is. If it seems like you are doing something screwed up, you probably are.

Where the hell is the vorbis support?!?!?!??!?
Dammit, all I want is something as cool as the ipod, but with vorbis.

2.4Ghz is unlicensed. FCC won't touch it.

I think The Ass Collector would make a great game. Just imagine being Rocco, running around and collecting ass. They could even make it a MMORPG.

Nice idea, just not legal here in the US.
evidence-eliminator.com is blocked by my company's spam/web filter. Haha.

This is why I take my shredded paper, and use it for tinder to start fires in my fireplace or firepit in the backyard.

Set up WebDAV. It should be supported on all of the OS's you mention. This is what I use between OSX, Linux, and Winders.
