Something still has to sort your mail. Presorted mail means that the company drops off a bundle that says zip code 90120 and from their post office it goes straight to 90210 without any further processing.
Okay, so I'll drop off my one letter in a bundle that says "90210".
Bulk mail is presorted so as to make processing time for the post office almost nothing. Your letter with sloppily written address actually takes time to be read and sorted.
So since I always print my envelopes with POSTNET bar codes, I should get to take advantage of the reduced rate, right?
If you are just looking for an AFS client, then try Arla:
ftp://ftp.stacken.kth.se/pub/arla/
Actually, I need both client and server.
I've looked at arla before, but from what I can tell arla seems to still be limited to Kerberos 4. I run krb5 (and only krb5, with no 524 cruft) for security reasons since krb4 has quite a history there.
However, I'm unable to verify that since arla's web page seems to not be working at the moment.
There seems to be a good comparison here [tu-chemnitz.de]. I would strongly recommend AFS for all of your distributed filesystem needs. (The OpenAFS developers are cool too!)
So when will OpenAFS be available for FreeBSD?
Rumor has it that the server portion works, but I've never managed to even get it to compile.
They own A3D 2.0, and they still haven't produced a card that supports it, and are apparently never going to.
Yeah, that always annoyed me that Creative opted to go for the cheap channed FX even after they bought Aureal. Though I guess it's what the market wants, because being cheaper probably allowed them to sell so many cards... Too bad nvidia didn't buy them instead:)
I still have nightmares about playing Half-Life in 4-speaker A3D mode though. Too bad Doom 3 won't support it -- just imagine how awesome and completely immersive that would be.
To the post under this one. I have some perfectly working but orphen hardware that will not run under W2K. Wanna buy? Why not? I'm certain the companies will come around to supporting them...eventually.
I have an Aureal Vortex2, which is an awesome sound card -- something like 64 hardware channels, 4-speaker surround sound, great sounding wavetable, and A3D for realistic reverb that actually simulates the sound in 3-D space (Unlike EAX which just has "cave mode", "theater mode", etc.). It's several years only and with the exception of no SPDIF output, holds up feature-wise even against the newest Audigy cards.
Unfortunately the company went out of business before they could produce stable W2K drivers. So now the cards are only really usable on 9X and NT4... You can pretty much forget about Linux / FreeBSD. Creative bought Aureal just before they dropped, but I really doubt they'll ever bother to release any updated drivers.
As it stands, the current Quake 3 engine and the upcoming Doom 3 engine are the only major OpenGL-based engines I can think of. And they were both done by theCarmack and crew.
While UT2003 uses DirectX by default on Windows platforms, it does have an OpenGL renderer also. You can switch it to use OpenGL instead, and the Linux version (of course) uses OpenGL by default.
Will mplayer be able to take advantage of these native sorensen codecs also? While mplayer plays quicktime files, they are not native and they aren't great, (specifically once you play 1 mplayer will crash if you attempt to play a second). Also, I am pretyt hooked on mplayer by now.
That's funny... mplayer on my FreeBSD box played the super-high-res Matrix reloaded trailer perfectly smooth. On my friends Windows machine (same spec hardware), it was jerky and almost unwatchable with the Quicktime player. And on his you can forget about resizing it or going fullscreen, because Quicktime refuses to use hardware accelerated stretching for some unknown reason.
Good point. Also, what if you bought and were running something like Cisco Call Manager or Veritas Backup Exec 9, both of which use an embedded version of SQL server that was vulnerable to the same worm.
Those products don't necessarily tell you that they're based on SQL server, and IIRC the Microsoft-supplied patch didn't work on them.
"If things like that worked, I'd have a big sign on my car that said, 'Not responsible if I hit you.'"
The sad thing is, I've seen that. Not on a person's car, but on a truck carrying some gravel and stuff. It said something to the effect of "Stay back 150 feet. Not responsible for damage from being closer".
I was thinking, "yeah, right, like that will stop somebody from suing and winning".
IPv6 is also available for Win2k, which doesn't make it such an unbelievable proposition...
Except that the IPv6 stack from Microsoft for Win2k can't query IPv6-only DNS servers. It understands AAAA records, but you still need your DNS server accessible over IPv4 in order to actually query them...
Doesn't this already supposedly exist?

Like, for example, the technology to search all phone calls for the words "president" and "bomb" in the same sentence? I mean, come on, why don't they share...
And how exactly would this tax be enforced? Outlaw private mail servers? I don't think the people on the domains I host for my family and friends would be too happy about that.
That would be delightful! Do you have any references at hand?

There's a paragraph near the beginning talking about the Ingres project and how it was one of the first heavy users (and modifiers) of UNIX at Berkeley. Interestingly, that particular article dates the Ingres project back to 1974, considerable earlier than I had previously thought...

Calling someone anti-American because their views aren't the same as yours is just plain ANTI-AMERICAN!!!
Gasp! Why, that's just ANTI-AMERICAN!
Oh, no, the terrorists have already won!
Lisa, in this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!
Well, now there's something useful you can do with them (besides my personal favorite, licking them): make orgasms!
I thought that's what chocolate cake was for...
Not just men. I talk to plenty of women who enjoyed the nude Keanu Reeves.
I thought that was one of the fully CG scenes...?
So it really isn't a stretch to think that Neo entering Trinity could have a similar effect on Trinity as it did on Smith.
Yeah, the scene with Neo "entering" Trinity did seem to have quite the effect on her...
Oh, wait. I bet you were talking about the second time, with the whole CPR thing... never mind.
Try a nightly snapshot? Post actual problems (not "it didn't work") to openafs-info, and you'll probably even get useful feedback.
Snapshot? No thanks. I need stability, not something that's still untested. If I didn't care about it being stable I'd just use Linux.

DivX and WMV play just fine on the same box, btw.
That must be one hell of a sign if you can read it from 150 feet away.

I wan't 150 feet away when I read it
But what if you didn't choose to use SQL Server?

But I'm using it extensively on our internal network. Life is sweet with BSD routers.
