Similarly, iPods can be sold for far more than $100 on eBay. I suppose their thinking is that if they can find people who are fed up enough with their old hardware, they might not be thinking too much when they sell their iPod/PC away.
*shrug* I don't think it's a good plan either. It'd be interesting to see how many people take dell up on their offer though.
I've got a friend that works for one of the large players in the US hospital market. Theyre required by law and by the hospitals to have all of their data for X amount of days in online storage, X days in nearline, and X days in a warehouse. When your talking about a company that owns 1/3 of the US's hospitals, and ou consider how much data can be generated daily from one of those hospitals alone, you quickly begin to see how people can go through a bunch of petabytes of storage quickly (MRI data, X-Rays, Perscriptions, etc..)
This time, however, Yahoo said it will continue changing its protocols to prevent clients such as Trillian from finding new ways to incorporate Yahoo. Again, the measure was cited by Yahoo as a way to prevent IM spam.(emphasis mine)
So, yes, spam is cited as a reason, but yahoo _is_ saying that they are going to continue to block third party clients.
Reading this article gave me a good idea (Although, it's probably been done before)
Would it be possible to set up to send spam through one of those sites to numerous address you set up? Then, after you recieve the spam, you could block those proxies(being relatively certain that they're zombified machines)
Yes, you would have to spend a bit of cash up front, but it seems (at least in principle) to be a fairly accurate way to find spam relays.

John- Seeing that you have 2 really cool projects coming to fruition, how do you divide your time? Does Doom get your normal buisness hours and the rocket afterhours/weekends?
BTW- Best of luck, man. I'm in school studying CS and physics, and your work in both of those fields (rocketry and software design) always impresses me. I think I wouldn't be alone in saying that if I could chose what jobs and hobbys I'd have after school, it'd be building games and really big rockets at the same time.:)
Yes. Look at the puttykey and puttagent programs (they may be named differently, I'm not at my home computer)
On the left side of the putty connection screen there's an auth section somewhere where you can put your private key.
If I'm understanding you correct, you don't want to have to enter your account's password, just the passphrase you chose for the key, which is what I do.
Maybe this has been done, but it would be cool to have a standardized configuration GUI though. Program authors could write configuration descriptor files with formatting information, list of configurable options, default selection lists(to chose a number of related choices), descriptions of various options, etc....
How the various options are grouped would be chosen by the program author, but ultimately, the GUI would decide how to display it.
Like I said, I'm sure this has been done, i'm not sure where though
I picked up my screen name in the aol 2.5 days. Canceled the service a little over 6 months ago(would've done it earler, but my family used their AOL account as their primary email)
(IANAG--I forget what the ends of the DNA molecules are called, but they basically act as a buffer to prevent harmful mutation. Over time, though, they get shorter and disappear.)
Lol, looking through a stack of old floppies the other day, I found a floppy for AOL 2.5....boy did that bring back memories. IIRC that version of AOL didnt have a proper internet stack, you could only get to the intarweb through the AOL client itself.
Maybe you can enlighten me, but it was my understanding that G5's didnt have the proper endian-mode-switching deal that made windows emulatable. Wouldn't endianess problems be a show stopper(or a huge performance decrease). Like I said, that's what I understood, maybe I'm wrong.
1) Is there a place that I can download these fonts(assuming some of them are free)?
2) To me, the biggest problem with GIMP's font system isn't the variety of fonts so much, but the lack of ability to format it well. I think it's real important to be able to adjust the spacing between characters etc...(I'd throw the techical term out (kerning?) but I dont know what it is)
I'm on a slow as nails computer or I'd look it up. I distinctly remember there being a slashdot article about it. I'll look it up tonight when I get home. That said, it's only been a month since the EV1 thing started, and I dont know if the CEO thinks it's necessary to drag his company into court with those litigious bastards over something like that anyhoo.
That said, it's still our right to argue against issues all day long if we feel like it. Just because we sacrificed a bit of our soveriegnty doesn't mean that anytime someone has an idea we have to go along with it.
Probably because the last agreement was under a confidentiality clause, and McBride or another SCO cronie released some of the 'confidential' terms of the agreement.
slightly OT but... Maybe it's just a Nashville thing, but the Autozone here will read your error codes for free. I took my car there, they told me the problem, and I left. I didn't even buy the part I needed there because I had a spare at home.

Hospitals.

I've got an envelope, a stamp, and a couple sheets of paper here, ready to write my senator about this bill.
Is it too early to start writing letters?
What should I say?
Thanks.
John-

Umm, PuTTY does support public key authentication, I use it myself.

Really?

My screen name still works.
Looking over here at pricewatch.com, there is no such thing as a 400. 8way systems are hard because of all the HT interconnects that are involved.
Is one second per second a unit? Does it not cancel itself out?
He's not connecting a gameboy player to another gameboy player, he's connecting a gameboy player to a gamecube controller port.

I believe theyre called telomeres(sp?)

I suppose if your country isn't english speaking, it'd be difficult to claim a foriegn word was too genereic of a trademark.
The IRS doesn't store any data at all. They just make shit up on the fly.
I knew it!!!

Maybe I'm just an idiot, but not that I can see. Googling 'kerning GIMP' turns nothing relevant up
