Yep, hopefully they will atleast offer both lines, with and without the chip. Then they will see consumers racing to buy the old chip and not the new one. And hopefully buy their own rules have to pull it. This is of course assuming this is as bad as it really is. We can all pray that this really is OS neutral and has a trust model where MS isn't the arbitrators of all trust. If that happends and the thing catches on, you never know. Its all wait and see, but hopefully AMD is smart enough to offer both versions just in case.
edonkey www.edonkey2000.com can do this (with limited capabilities) Now, and they are about to come out with a new system called Overnet (previously Flock, which sounds better in my opinion) which will be more directed towards this type of use, while using a different network arcitecture. Should be available soon. Check out www.sharereactor.com for an example of a not so legal website using the edonkey network.
Oh god, that was funny. Of course the best line is "It should be noted, " remarked Dr. Von Vickersburg, "that digital photographs can not be faked, And these are digital photographs. I find their existence very disturbing!" Digital photos can't be faked? WHAT!!!!!
Probably not the right place to ask. But does anyone know how to get XP folder sync working properly when using a samba server? Is it possible? (It somewhat works without any special conf, but it gives many errors)
So this kiosk will be paying royaltist, and its being put up there legally. So why do they use the word pirate (or other variation of the same, pirating, etc) 10 times? This is not piracy. Its legal! HELLO! Get a clue people.
As long as you keep GPL code inhouse you don't have to publish it. In fact, even if you sell GPL software to the world, you only have to give the source to the people who buy it. APSL says you have to publish it to the world if you give it to anyone. That is a lessend freedom, as you don't have the freedom to keep your program modification secret among your friend. (You can do that of course, but its not legal)
As long as you only used the pheromones in certain areas I don't see much possibilities of evolution. Yes, they might evolve, but stop using the pheromones in that area temporarly, let them mix with other moths that can use pheromones, and see which wins?? hmmm.... I'm placing by bets on pheromone using moths.
The "LAW" was part of the DMCA, they just hadn't set the price yet. There may be a problem with ex post facto setting of fines. Example. You will be fined for speeding. But we havn't set the fine yet, we will do that in court after you've been charged. I honestly don't know if that legal or not.
Probably because the adventure catagory includes non console games. But then you look and notice that the runner up is Super Mario Sunshine. So I'm assuming that a title can't be nominated more than once. Hold on, Doom III is best of show, and best action. Oh Zelda is runner up for best of show! Oh well, having Zelda appear as best console, runner up best of show (next to DOOM III) and best adventure would have been overkill. I'm sure there is some attempt to get as many different games named, than have one game win as many awards as possible like they do on telivised (sp?) Award Shows.
I think he just meant MS forced them to stop selling linux computers. As yes, it is very hard to run a buisness selling ONLY linux computers (though possible if your in the high end server market, but thats tough too). And if you can't get a MS OEM license, you may have a hard time selling MS computers at competative prices.
Sadly the average American knows nothing about that. But then again, honestly it wasn't a scandle, everyone knew about it. It was a different society back then, honestly if it wasn't for the proliferation of civil rights fighters right now, this country would have imprisioned every muslim post 9/11 and the average american would have thought nothing about it.
Also a EULA for a product and a service are on completly different legal ground. I can very well say that if you step foot on my property (server) you have to follow my rules. Weither this would be valid on a publically assessable server on the web, I'm pretty sure if you had to use privatly purchased software to access their server. I can bet you that whatever rules you place should be valid.
Direct Quote from Mav[LAG] #31387 in responce to the same question the last time this was brought up on slashdot explains it best. No one here in South Africa minds who controls.za as long as a) it works and b) it's managed according to the RFC and the informal rules that the late John Postel put in place circa. 1985. The local Internet community are totally opposed to the ridiculous provisions of Section X of the Government's Electronic Communications and Transactions Bill.(Some of the other sections are equally idiotic but let's stay focused here). Specifically they want to replace the non-profit organisation Namespace [namespace.org.za] (whom Mike Lawrie consults to) with a huge unwieldy bureaucracy that will cost the taxpayers millions and is overseen by the Communications Minister. In other words, a simple administrative function that has been performed superbly by a single highly-competent individual over the last decade will now be replaced by an eighteen person board of directors whose salary bill alone is millions per year. Not only that but the Government's spin on the whole debacle is that they are imposing some form of democracy on the current evil monopoly that Mike Lawrie has subjected us all to. This is complete bullshit. Mike Lawrie and Namespace have repeatedly tried to get the Government involved in ccTLD administration with no success for many years now. The Department of Communications, led by two politicians whose only qualities seem to be an equal balance of power hungriness, greed and incompetence (Ivy and Andile - yes, this means you two) say that Government control over.za will lead to some kind of new era of Internet prosperity where all people in our country will suddenly get Internet access. A few facts are in order.
* The South African Government cannot even manage it's own name servers - let alone the whole country's. Five out of six of them are currently mis-configured or not working. If they do take over and.za suddenly goes dark for a few days because of some technical or beauracratic cock-up, our economy will suffer enormously.
* Internet access for all is dependent on our telecommunications infrastructure and policy - which The Department of Communications has - to put it politely - completely fscked up over the last eighteen months.
* The Department has not taken on board 1% of the industry advice it has pretended to listen to since it was taken over by the two current fools. Together they have crippled our local telecoms regulator so much that the incumbent phone monopoly can charge what it likes without fear of being slapped down.
And yes, as a South African journalist who's been following this saga for quite some time, I don't mind saying that I'm really pissed off.
You know what, I never realized the Onion did paper subscription. WHOHO! I'm ordering me one now! (you should contact them for your commision check now. HAHA)
Wow, when did about.com start offering URL redirection! (actually not URL redirection, I honestly can't remember the name, but basically about.com is pulling the content and pushign it back to you) Whoho!. BTW for everyone out there, its a goatse link!
Of course, we'll have to use that new Electromagnetic to Gravity Wave converter that was talked about the other day. http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/06/10/171213 The article mentioned that we could use it for non line of sight communication as it would go straight throught anything. Obviously thats what the aliens are working on. Once we get that hooked up. Seti may actually have something to compute.
Well if you read the CBDTPA you would realize it called for closed hardware, open source software way of dealing with this. MS read the open source software and ran like a dog.
Yes, but as you already underpaid the employeer, whos to say that you will in the future continue to pay the employeer what the other offer would have paid them?
>By the way, do you guys care that all new >cell phones are required to have GPS (in the US >anyway)?
Not realy, I don't like the government as much as the next guy. But as this is nessesary for 911 calls from cell phone I can live with the regulation till I hear of it being abused.
Does Samba server support this? We've got windows laptops but a linux server. I can't impliment this yet, as most of the laptops are about 4 years old. But when we next upgrade, which we are going to do soon, I'll look into this. Or should I invest in a XP server too?
I've always wanted to put my users on a fileserver only bases for their data. But about 80% of our users travel frequently and use a laptop with docking station for their data. While I have tried many solutions which upload their data to the server when they dock, I haven't found any reliable means of doing this. Any ideas?

Where did you download the iso? I can't find it anywhere except by paying them $99 dollars which I won't do before I try it out.
