Load firmware for another drive? Seems to me it's like chopping off your toes to fit into the shoe, Yeah it might look better, but it could also hurt. A lot.
I mean it's on the development schedule that test1 would be released today. This release shouldn't be a suprise for those complaining about installing this new one so soon.
As you can see, the core 3 will be done about October for those using core 2.
Now I don't want to sound cynical, but I remember a product a few years ago on slashdot which numbers didn't add up, and it had all these pretty pictures. Something about a seti@home pci card.
If you ask me, it's a joke, especially since it's using an OS that google can't find.
Hell, as worded, wouldn't it be possible to throw Xerox in jail? Oh, and the Library of Congress, for aiding in copyright infringement? While we're at it, let's ban pen and paper, as they can be used for copyright infringement.
We need to make a game where people jump off a cliff and kill them selves to finally clean out the shallow end of the gene pool? Sheesh. People will say anything these days to shift blame from themselves.
Okay, so two stories, one from Jr. High, one from Highschool.
In Jr. High, someone was giving out the admin password pass FoolProof (a mac protection software that was incredably simple to bypass at the time.) Anyways, I tried to inform the IT guy, and he blew me off, saying that I didn't really know the password. So I put on a little app that made the computer belch.
Someone snitched, and I ended up in the principal's office. I tried to plead my case, it wasn't like I hadn't tried to do the right thing, and when they wouldn't listen I gave them something they couldn't ignore. Detention 4 weeks.
I should have learned from my first experince but I didn't. In Highschool, the network was completely unsecure. You could print to any class room across the whole school district, and everything was named quite nicely. Once again, I was blown off when I tried to say this was a bad thing.
Not only were all the printers there, but a number of computers were open with read access to everything. So I opened a network connection to every shared disk along the network and started a find for everything. The IT guy in the lab looked over my shoulder and asked what I was doing. Detention again, this time for "Slowing the hard drives down."
If only more people got into trouble for changing the laws of phyics.
Yes, I did read the original question; however to do *exactly* what he wanted would require a third party program that, in all likelyhood would cost more money. Beyond that, there is power consumption by each monitor plugged in, and I was offering a low cost (no money, just costs some time) solution that would be more environment friendly.
Now can you give me a good reason why you should use the extra power verses using vnc (via ssh to ensure that the master passwords are not sent out unencrypted.)
The only thing I can think of is knowing which machine you are working on, (a feature that can be duplicated by simply setting a background or looking at the title of the VNC session.) As this isn't much of an advantage, and when offset by the cost of power and resources (those monitors could be used by someone else.)
Okay, I know some are saying use vnc, but if you're using XP remote desktop is more secure (if anything windows can offer is secure) and has better compression, IIRC.
Why spend the money on a bunch of monitors and the software to control them when you get it for free?
If you must use 2K then I suspect you'll have to use vnc (although remember that all network traffic is unencrypted by default with vnc.)
Yet another possibility would be to use VNC, but then a Linux box as a the controler so that you could just switch the virtual desktop you are on, and switch the computer you are controling. (Provided you've full screened the vnc window.) Then you can bind keys to change virtual desktops, or just use border desktop changing.
The linux solution will give you much more flexability. Also if you want to use remote desktop, you can with a linux app called rdesktop. With the security and stability of linux you can't go wrong.
If you've been to Borders lately, you may have noticed a device that you can scan a movie or cd and get a sample of the media. How is this very different? (Other than getting to the web)
Perhaps if there were reviews, but what keeps a company from only showing you the positive reviews?
The flip side is also true, if you open it up to everyone to comment on, the media or movie, then there's a greater chance that someone will post a spoiler and ruin it for you.
However, not to write the whole thing off, if there was a system of reviews like Amazon, and the reviews were handeled by a third party, this could be quite nice to have as a general consumer.
Add a little paint, and a nice dial with glowing lights, then price it at $200 per unit. They could make a fortune, and save a few geeks from the darwin awards. Heck, it might even be considered a public service.
Anyone else think this is wrong? When touching down 10 G's? The most G's would be on lift off, not touch down, and 10 is just plain nuts. Come on. If you think of a plane, and touchdown, you are going in the same direction of gravity, not against it.
I mean conceptually, the article doesn't make sense, and I hope people will realize that.

Most of the pc's I see are windows, so I'd have to say my most used tool is fdisk.
Knoppix is a nice solution too when I don't have time.
Make common easy??
isn't that like:

But I currently do this now (atleast partially) with firefox on a thumbdrive.
I mean come on, how many languages in which you can do this?
As it seems to me, life has been going on for thousands of years, and would be in the public domain by now.
How about your local library? Or the Library of Congress?
Heck the power company, as they aid people participating in copyright infringment.
If every piece of technology that can be used to violate copyrights is banned, how is the RIAA/MPAA going to make their CDs/DVDs?
Hell, as worded, wouldn't it be possible to throw Xerox in jail? Oh, and the Library of Congress, for aiding in copyright infringement? While we're at it, let's ban pen and paper, as they can be used for copyright infringement.
Talk about one hellva case mod. I never liked that little beep the computer gave anyways.
The real question is, who was dumb enough to give these kids a gun.
They should receive the same punishment, because through their action/inaction they helped kill this driver.
We need to make a game where people jump off a cliff and kill them selves to finally clean out the shallow end of the gene pool? Sheesh. People will say anything these days to shift blame from themselves.
Right? Come on, doesn't anyone take responsibility any more? If she was in front of the TV, would it be called an addiction to Fox?
You are responsible for your children, and if this lady ignored her child due to a computer game, well that's not the game's fault.

Apparently it was too obfuscated for IBM. The first code example is missing a } at the end of the line.
It seems to me, if you want to cover everything, you would put a debian package inside a RPM.
Why? I have no clue, but you could if you wanted all the features. Kind of like putting a roll bar into a SUV, so that you can start amature racing.

That think geek should sell.

Glad you liked it.
Just goes to show, even after working an 11 hour day, my mind can shut down so completely that even I don't realize what I'm saying.

I think what they are saying is that Nasa has had this problem before, but didn't address it as seriously as they should have.
Just my $0.02
