Well, despite what M$ will tell you Win95/98 sits ontop of a 16 bit dos, and it is 32 bit. So its possible. Remember those dos games that came with DOS/4GW I believe that also allowed apps to be 32 bit. Though I could be Wrong!
Some operators of Intranet and Billboard Web sites have had difficulty determining whether they need a license from Unisys for use of our LZW patented technology. If you use any of the types of images specified above on your Web site that you received from an unlicensed software developer or service, you should have a license from Unisys to use the LZW patent. Or even if the developer or service provider has a license, but it doesn't cover your use of the particular application you received, you should have a license from Unisys to use the LZW patent.
Well I'm glad that cleared that up. Whats really interesting is if you read theirlicensing definitions apparently this $5000 dollar license is strictly for noncommercial websites. Commercial websites need to negotiate the license seperatly for each case. This could easly lead to Unisys choosing to apply a heavy hand to some and not to others.
Umm, so are you busy friday night? HEHE sorry just joking, but seriously I wish there where more women like you in the world. None of my past gf's have really been interested in technology (though all of them can use computers, but its not really on the technical side) and so far none of the relationships have lasted over a month at a time, seriously. While my town (tallahassee, fl) is a majorly wired town (fsu's fault), most of the women are the Sorority type (or atleast try to look act like it). And many of the guys are computer majors. It leads to a very funny situation. There are almost twice as many women in this town as there are men, but yet a very large percent of good/decent men are still single. While there are still a large amount of women complaning that there are no men.. Its quite interesting
Well as I generally don't return from clubs back to the place I left from, its not a proper function. I guess I could say that I have home fuction then I operate friends house function which while ending operates club function, which both add to the value of my blood_alchol_level counter. Finally both fuctions end (only I honestly don't return to friends house function before returning home.. but thats a technicallity that is not noticed in the final outcome). Sorry for not using proper programming notation in this I'm mostly just tech support with a little script programming.
Dude, get out and socialize. Mainly goto clubs (definatly try out any 80's nights you can find.. hehe personal preference), and coffee shops. I've had plenty of women in their late 20's early 30's who woulda jumped me if I hadn't been, so young. (I'm only 20)
Well once again.. I feel stupid, read the article. Even saw the Bunnim-Murray Productions parts of it. But when it came time to write the comment, it didn't click in my mind. Oh well a mind is a terrible thing to waist on such useless trivia. (whenever I do something like that I just remind myself that Einstein could rarly even find his way home.)
Given that Abe oviously uses linux, as stated in the interview. I would be willing the bet that the MS word document was not his fault. Obviosly as he is probably still under contract with BMP(does anyone know what BMP stands for?) they most likly forced him to give them the article first, then edited it, then sent it onto Rob directly in Word format, without giving it back to Abe for finalization.
Hey, I'm a geek, who goes dancing every weekend, and still nothing. While most geeks do spend a bit too much time not socializing, generally it takes most women till they get a bit older till they realize that geeks are accually a good catch. But a geek in his early 20s really doesn't have a chance.
Oh wow, do I feel stupid.. Well I just woke up, yea, umm that it. Accually I have an automatic 2 points. I probably don't deserve it, but in general I write good comments that get moderated up. Anyways $20 dollars is not to much to expect as this is a per year estimate. If the linux fund only got the fees from credit card use, I can imagine that on average (the big spenders increase this average greatly) $20 seems reasonable. And I honestly don't see why this card can't receieve 100,000 members as there a very large community that will get just about anything with a pengiun on it:) I'm personally very tempted to get one.
You may not realize it, but for every transation you make the place you use your card is charged a small fee. Generally this fee is not passed on to the person using the card (accually its passed on to all the customers in the form of higher prices). Anyways a percent of that fee, and probably also a percent of all interest, goes to the linux fund. They estimate that about 2 million dollars will be collected in these funds if there are about 100,000 users. Wow personally that surprises me that the average credit card user would have atleast 200 dollars in fees and interest in the average year (200 dollars in assuming 100% of fees and interest goes to linux fund).
(just as with snail-mail) is that it is unreliable. You send an email out and in the general case you have no clue whether it reached its destination or some host on the way folded, spindled and mutilated it, and then discarded it.
The same could be said of snail mail, no?
Thats what the man said!. No offense but, *slaps you with a large trout*
Sorry to have to tell you this sir, but in our economy hard work does mean shit. Its drive and determination to learn and be able to acheive that is worth shit. I worked some service jobs in my day, and would definatly say that I worked much harder than I do now, but I think I deserved my lower wage because what I offered was fairly useless and could be done by anyone.
We don't currently sell or rent users' non-aggregated specific personal information to third-party companies, but we may decide to do so in the future. If this were to happen, Chapters.ca would announce such a plan by e-mail and ask you to "opt in".
Chapters.ca will only email you to opt in to "non-aggregated" information. Sadly Amazon is claiming that this information is aggregated, while I would slighly dissagree, simply because corporations legally are very close to being an individual. So if Chapters took on the same idea, such a practice would fit into their privacy policy.
No thats a double sided, double (or is it triple?) layered disk that hold that much. I believe the typical 2 hour movie not including all the little extras you get is around 1.5GB (THIS IS A VERY ROUGH ESTIMATE, so don't get on my case about the numbers I don't really have the time now to look them up)
Well, the removable core idea isn't just for hardware problems its for software configuration problems too. Sure, you could remove just the harddrive and take that with you, but as hardware specific configurations are stored on the harddrive it would probably crash immediently upon being booted in a different persons computer. So you take the desktop with you, only you don't have to deal with a huge box, and all the little connections. I'm NOT avocating this solution btw, just mentioning it, because I love going inside my computer and changing the parts easily. As such a solution would leave a very non easy hardware repair job.
Well, if he turned around and fixed the blinkers its funny. But if he accually let her drive off thinking she needed blinker fluid, I would say he sounds like a complete as$.

The fault is is offering phone support for something that should've been an on-site repair done in the flesh by a real person, skilled in his craft, to begin with.
That is a very good point, we as techs need to come up with a solution. The idea of remote administration has been around for a long time, but is riddled with security problems. Even if the system is secure people are not comfortable with allowing someone whom they've never meet to peer around in their personal computers. So enters the idea of computer shops where you take your computer to get fixed. The only problem with this is that most people (even me) find it annoying to unconnect and move their computer somewhere to have it fixed for a minor problem. The only 2 solutions I see to this problem would be, 1. A removable core, where the computer acts more like a laptop (without the screen) in a docking station. So that the central components can be as easily removed as say a toner cartidge (weird analogy but it works, and yes there are some people who can't change their toner cartidges), and the core can be taken in for repair. This has the major drawback of not being nearly as user servicable. 2. Self diagnostic, user correcting, polymorphic, self evolving programs, that fix any problems themselves. HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.. sorry good laugh. Its a good idea, but still ahead of our time.
Suppositivly mwave is going to start selling a athlon bundle of the processor a motherboard, and fan for 700 for a 550 and 900 for 600 MHZ chip. Starting August 25. Its under catalog/motherboard bundles. Search by processor. I've ordered a few things from mwave and found them to be fairly on the up and up, though I warn that they can be a bitch if you have to return an idem. (or yea and beware of the mwave brand ram:)
Well lets see, mainly what computer processes do is interget calculations. This is accually what the MHZ speed is based on, how many normal operations (math/interger, or logical) it can do per second. 600 is 8% higher than the number 550... hmmm no I have no idea where that 8 came from.
Oh, for those of yall who want to hook your computer up to something like a boom box that doesn't have rca in jacks, you can use your cd-players car-tape adapter and put the tape into your system. You may want to get an extension cord as most of them are fairly short.
Well first we have to work out getting dvd movies to play locally on linux, then we can start worrying about getting remote operations working.:) just a thought

Hmm, as always I like that picture of the future better. P.S. I'm generally not a negative future seerer I was just in a negative mood I guess :)
Well linux-arts.net and org arn't taken if thats any consolation :) I just have to hope that none takes my mindstalkersjizz.yum

Hmm hey guys, why don't we use these new evolved chips in our missle command centers.
Sure that sounds great.
evolved chip: "hehe they still don't even know how I work, I've passed all their safty 'test' hehehe if they only knew if they only knew"
I'm sorry I couldn't resist. Would be funny though, if we accidently evolved thinking machines and didn't even know it.
