Hey, just a quick question. Does anyone know how to get the sendmail that is included in Starbucks to accept mail to an nonexistant dns. For example say my server is joe.com and someone sends email to john@hi.joe.com and I have not made an entry in my dns for hi. in the old version I could use a wildcard to show that I will accept mail from *.joe.com but now due to security reasons wildcarsds are not accepted.. Is there a way I can make a workaround for this?
A nerd is one who enjoys/is good with computers/technology/science. A geek is they guy in circuses who bites the heads off chickens.
Well sure, we still bite the heads of chickens (I told one of my coworkers this one day as a joke in responce to me being a geek). But we tend to like the fact that we are geeks/nerds much more than the average "nerd" does.
Accually, inladen in the humor of it all the article accually is a very good do's and don't for the person who is looking into doing an upgrade themselves. Very good suggestions, like being careful shorting out the bottom of your hardrive, while its sitting on your chasis, is usually something a person learns the hard way. Or are you accually not wanting people to read this so you can keep your job -grin- heeh jk
Accually the price has gone down. If prices had kept up with inflation we would be paying much more for cds then we do now. Though it still pisses me off that the price of audio tapes are still cheaper, considering they cost more to make. But honestly 10 dollars is what the record companies see as the intellectual (this is a stretch.. but you know what I mean) value of a cd and the extra 4 or 5 bucks totaling the cd to 15 is for extra value from the packaging, coverart, jewelcase, shipping. With the record companies artist make less than a buck per cd usually. Though with the record companies big artist where promised so make millions or records would be sold. These big artist who are breaking away from their record companies are taking a HUGE chance. And the price reflects the fact that they are very unsure about just how many copies will be sold. And honestly I would have a hard time convensing a top selling popular artist that they will be selling any more than 1/10 of what they where selling with the record companies. So they muliplied their profit per cd by 10 in hopes of making the same money. Now once this takes off and artist can be confident they will come close to sales in the days of the old record companies (they probably won't surpass it in a while considering in online music there will be so much more compitition with the little guy) they will be able to reduce their prices to what is resonable. Hopefully this will be in the 3 to 4 dollar range. So everybody hang in their, its going to be a bumpy ride. But soon, we will provail!
Oh sure I'd love to do that.. Now that you mention it I've sent several letter's in the proper contact changing form for over the past 4 months to get info changed. Mainly to switch from mail from verification to pgp. I've sent my public key and fingerprint info. Started this back in January and STILL havn't gotten any reply except for the automated, we've got your letter, thing. So good luck on switching your contact info to null, I'm sure thats top priority for them.. All they care about is thier money... they got yours.. so now your of no use.
Hmmm nice place, but gives me the creeps.. you think they could have come up with a better name. I'm sorry but I can't read/hear the words dvdexpress without thinking Digital Video Express (DIVX)
I realize this, but what I'm saying is that the test needs to be common among all linux bases. Lets say for example that some guy is hiring people for an office that already has say RedHat set up in thier network. While virtually anyone with linux experience independent of distribution could handle this job. The boss is most likly going to hire the guy who's certificate says "RedHat" because he recongnizes the name. Unless we can make it public knowledge that a linux certified person can handle all distributions equally (well almost but we don't need to get into that), certifications should be universal. Let them take the "RedHat" classes, but make em pass a standard linux test. Of course noone can force RedHat or any other group to support the standard, we sure can press the issue. And my other and completly SEPERATE point is that the idea of many levels of certification aka the MCSE (sure microsoft is evil.. but we can still learn a thing or two)
just to add my $.02 I like the idea of RedHat offering certification classes, but I also think it should be standardized. RedHat should continue offering the classes, which are a great way to go for people who arn't comfortable teaching themselves, but the test should conform to the LPI standard. That way there would be no difference between a RedHat linux certification, and say a Debian certificaiton. I also like the idea of modular program where you can be tested in different areas, allowing for someone to be just an admin, or a programmer, or even a master as described in an earlier post.
All well and good, but watch those arrow keys.

Mozilla M4 is Out

Accually your problem is that you clicked somewhere on the page! for some reason the arrow keys control the scroll bar and not the cursor, meaning if you clicked somewhere placing the cursor where you clicked when that cursor gets pushed off the page when scolling with the arrow keys it immediently jerks the page back to a point where the cursor is on the s5creen where you last left it. Whats really freaky is when your cursor is in a input box like this using the up/down arrow keys goes up and down the text and up and down the scroll bar.. really freaky effect
The pop-up ads are done through basic html and javascript. If you removed the javascript command to create a new window with the no file menu/scroll bar/explorer stuff that would effectivly be deviating from the DOM pertaining to the creation on windows. While I abhor pop-ups like everyone does, when we start picking and choicing which standards to incorperate and which ones to leave out, we become no better than the guys creating proprietary standards in IE and Netscape. Now one thing that can be left out safly I'm sure if that onexit command or whatever its called that allows a site to dictate a final command when you leave a site. This command was created at the request of advertisers, and is generally only used to keep people from leaving a site unless you purposfully crash your browser. Though luckly very few sites, but the PrOn 31337 sites sink to this level.
Accually this happens all the time. Though generally not the patented part, I don't believe its really possible to get a patented on technology that was developed in a university, though I may be wrong, as I often am. But quite frequently University projects funded by the government get extra funding from a large company, with the promise that they will get the info first, though I think there are time laws on how long it can be before it becomes public domain. It still gives such companies a huge advantage. For instance Intel is funding several university projects on creating quantum mechanic based processors. Who do you think will get this info first!!
In these types of 3d goggles, your eyes are focused on an image which appears to be several feet away, but is actually only inches away
That is true of conventional 3d goggles, but the type being experimented with in the story is direct retina feed. Meaning your eyes don't focus at all. It's projected directly on your retina, this would be analogious to jacking a display directly to your brain almost. Although they diffinetly would need to work out eye detetion menconisms for something like this so that the display can respond to movement of your eyes, otherwise you could quickly develop lazy eye, I would imagine or some other weird symtoms.
So when this poll is done can you calculate the average and post it to some national news people. Of course you really need to remove all the less than 1000 votes, because most of them are from people who really arn't programmers (like me:( ) The original survey was a survey of "programmers" so to make the survey valid you should remove all the non-programmers. (and its kinda impossible to tell the to not vote)
I especially like the note that if there is competition in the area, they have to show it on at least three screens. That should help alleviate the ticket crush in some areas.
Accually although the wording sounds odd, I believe this means that 3 seperate theaters must carry it per area. This is to help the little guy. I remember on the re-release of the first 3, the major theator in my town didn't even get it at all. This was due to the fact that they were destroying competition, and whoever makes these decisions decided to give the other guys a chance.

Accually sense this calculation is based upon what the suppositive amount of "hurt" it puts on Bill Gates you really should calculate out cost of living. For example for the person making $50K their bills and expenses probably run around $35K or more and the other $15K is left to spend on luxery items. While in Bills case he makes $10G and I'll be very gratious and assume his living expenses are $500M (probably an over estimate but I really have no idea) so that is 9.5G/15K = ~633K 20M/633K =~ $31.00 though like I said thats an over estimate
I would like to propose that the linux community take the initiative to not only redo this test, but do so fairly. Take 2 identical machines, preferably the ones they used in the original test, assuming the hardware is completly linux compatible (which it probably was not), give one to microsoft, or the MindCraft. Let them configure their NT and tweak it to their hearts desire. Let a couple of linux guru's configure linux to the normal highend server standards (hey why not give them the advantage.. laugh). And run the test at a neutral location where all can watch. Hey give prizes to the winners. Let people bet on the benchmarks, whatever, would be a great event.
Accually if you stopped and paid attention to the information you where dumping, the contact information for the two domains are completly different, as well as the sites themselves. If you look at gore2000.com you will see what is oviously a site put up by his supporters, but doesn't seem to carry the air of officiality. While algore200.com (or gore200.org) which takes you to the same site, his offical website, which runs IIS
He also claimed to be a hog farmer or something, to general ridicule on the chat shows.
Accually he stated during his initial 1992 (I think it was 92?) vice presidental campain that he had been a tobacco farmer. But then the minute the tobacco lawsuits and what not started, he spoke against tobacco, and all the people behind it.
The dot party was last night. That was when he announced his resignation. Bet that had to suck though. But why else don't you think we didn't see his reason for resignation till today (he announced it last night). He probably spent the rest of the night getting really plastered, I know I would have.
I want my mommy. *Sniff* these slashdot people are confusing me. I used to love microsoft, but they are telling me they are evil.. I don't understand. Wasn't this supposed to be a humor site all along. I mean news for nerds. Nerds don't read the news if they did they would end up spending their entire day arguing over the news they just read. WHERE AM I? oh hold on I'm looking for some screensavers to put in my background. I thought this is where you find them. *cuddles up with his little stuff Bill Gates collectable*

Try dvdexpress. Very Good (IMO). Simply Senzuri

Well I think the name Sol is accually derived from the word Solar and not the other way around. So Solar describes sun/star entities in general
