if you tweak a little bit (like hiding the startbar, setting the Desktop environment to maximum performance etc.) things turn out to be quite ok. This is what I suspected - I run it XP on a W98 era thinkpad and it works fine, whereas a modern Ubuntu brings it to it's knees (yeah, I know I can switch to a lighter window manager, but that's really only an option for geeks).
So why would MS be bending backwards to fix a problem that does not exist? The only thing I can think is that it is a face saving measure to keep XP concurrently with Vista for "underpowered" but new machines.
Just had a look in my hotmail as I've been using httpmail until it was broken by Leopard and have not had the "pleasure" to discover what I've been missing. It's true the first page you see is full of flashing ads, but when you actually get past that you find your inbox full of spam, some even from various Microsoft departments. Then you look in your spam and find a bunch of mail that's legitimate. When you mark stuff as spam it goes in to "Deleted items" - no wonder hotmail never seems to learn what's spam and what's not!
When you finally get to read a message it starts warning that the mere act of opening it is dangerous, and offers links to self congratulatory advertising disguised as help saying stuff like "Sender ID is a technical solution started by Microsoft" and goes on to boast that "Windows Live Hotmail treats all messages that fail Sender ID and phishing tests as fraudulent" which is a bit excessive considering the world has yet to be convinced Sender ID is some kind of panacea for phishing.
It used to be that if the mail contained links it would open with an iframe displaying sponsorshop messages, but today I see that there are no hyper-links for something that clearly is that, not only with dots but preceded with http, but no, I have have to copy and paste this in to a new tab. I really can't think of any mail client that would deny a hyper-link when it saw one.
Next: at the top of the message there is a message saying "Attachments, pictures, and links in this message have been blocked for your safety. Show content" - when I click show content nothing changes except I don't see this warning. So I guess this warning is there just because it does not comply with MS Sender ID, hardly an intelligent algorithm for warning people about something that may or may not exist.
I expect I could go on and on, but I think you get the drift..
Mozilla's Sunbird calendar and even Microsoft's Outlook--with the installation of a third party plugin--can be used with iCal Server. Boeing has also developed a CalDAV connector for Exchange Server. Microsoft itself has been quiet about supporting CalDAV. That may be related to the fear that an open market in calendaring would not help the company maintain its dominance over Windows-bound IT shops
Quite interesting that FoxComm has put all of its operations in one spot. This is something that US plants are not known for, and I suspect it is due to all types of single point failures such as power, water, and other facilities.

Essential to the Algiers Accords and reportedly a non-negotiable requirement of Iran that the Carter Administration reluctantly conceded was Point I: Non-Intervention in Iranian Affairs. It reads "The United States pledges that it is and from now on will be the policy of the United States not to intervene, directly or indirectly, politically or militarily, in Iran's internal affairs."
HomePNA looks like mainly ethernet infrastructure. If it's a small complex that might work, but I have over 100 neighbours in my building and ethernet is going to max out after the first 100 yards. I guess I need something similar that does fiber instead.
I found the article fascinating for one reason. I remember at some point, I think it was DOS 3 or DOS 4 that I suddenly found myself hating MS. The reason for this was that where previous releases saved files in ascii formats, suddenly stuff started appearing in binary, making it impossible to see what was going on or to carry data between programs. Now I know the reason for that is that Mr Allen was no longer in charge.
At a cost of $100K per sailor per year, this represents savings of more than $6 billion. Impressive -- if it works.
OK but for $2M you can get 200 tons of solidly engineered crane equipment on 12 wheels like a Demec AC200. Multiply by 300 to get 60,000 tons, this leaves $3.4 billion unaccounted/carrier.
A reprogrammable inertial guidance system was a major risk in the original program. When first proposed, no one had built a digital computer that would fit in a missile. So the LGM-30 Minuteman brought us the first embedded computer in the 1960s, but this had nothing to do with NASA, and I suspect that they would have become embedded somewhere by now anyway.
Will this new Space Race usher in more new technologies into our daily lives, like the previous one?
Sorry, but I think I missed the technologies that changed my daily life from the previous race? Or am I supposed to believe I need to be grateful to NASA for teflon - "PTFE is sometimes said to be a spin-off from the US space program with more down-to-earth applications; this is an urban legend, as teflon cooking pans were commonplace before Yuri Gagarin's flight in 1961." according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teflon

For on-the-go repairs, I like the bus-powered 2 1/2" drives. They're easy to carry, and don't require a power brick to go with them.
There's nothing wrong with this statement except it implies 2.5" is the only form factor that will permit portability without separate power. I'm no expert but i have a 60 GB USB drive without its own power supply that works fine in 3.5" form. I think its useful to know this as the extra inch will cut the cost considerably (and widen the choice & availability).
Are you saying Apple does not have the tech to encode H264 in real time? I seem to remember a time when live was available but I think that predated the H264 streams.
thanks - those are useful sites to monitor for those without live acccess although they usually get saturated during the speech - maybe they should set up coralised links to themselves?
analysts are guessing that Jobs will unveil at least one of the following: a new iPod Shuffle, a PC that runs on Intel Corp. chips or an iMac PC that acts much like a digital television tuner and recorder.
The rogue nations don't matter. none of them are capable of triggering the lethal mutual exchange of weapons. Even as you suggest a dirty bomb in NY would cause the US to whipe (sic) muslims from the face of the earth, so what? No rogue nation has the capability to retaliate in force.
If that's the case why does the US & Europe persist with developing their nuclear strike capabilities?
And why not strike a deal with Iran to decommission the nuclear capability in Israel as a tit for tat decommissioning their nuclear program?

You haven't clicked on administer in http://localhost:631/ in OS X? You not only need admin, you need a root password. Sorry to be pedantic.

So you think VISTA is less secure than XP? Not really the answer I was looking for but a quick Google revels it works if you can work around it: http://www.longhornblogs.com/robert/archive/2005/0 7/29/14247.aspx
