I had a lovely working iPod 4G. Worked like a charm with the 2.6.5 kernel. Installed 2.6.9. iPod stopped mounting. All I get is 'Device offlined - not ready after error recovery' I'm on 2.6.11 now and it still doesn't work and so I hope it magically starts working with 2.6.14... so I wouldn't doubt linux usage is low... that is what Linus gets for breaking things that work.
So one could make the argument that Grimes is implying that the Mono Project is "simply papering over the enormous cracks and legacy rubbish in the current Linux architecture..."?
Here is the link to XM Radio's 10-Q mentioned above. And the relevant section of the doc talking about XM's plans to set up the repeaters from the 'Uses of Funds' Section:
TERRESTRIAL REPEATER SYSTEM. Based on the current design of the XM Radio system and existing contracts, we estimate that through our expected commencement of operations in September 2001 we will incur aggregate costs of approximately $263.3 million for a terrestrial repeater system. We expect these costs to cover the capital cost of the design, development and installation of a system of terrestrial repeaters to cover approximately 70 cities and metropolitan areas. In August 1999, we signed a contract with LCC International, Inc., a related party, calling for payments of approximately $115.0 million for engineering and site preparation. In January 2001, the contract was amended and the estimated contract value was reduced to $107.5 million. As of June 30, 2001, we had paid $81.7 million under this contract and accrued an additional $17.2 million. We also entered into a contract effective October 22, 1999, with Hughes Electronics Corporation for the design, development and manufacture of the terrestrial repeaters. Payments under this contract are expected to be approximately $128.0 million. As of June 30, 2001, we had paid $64.2 million and accrued an additional $2.6 million under this contract.
now a program has to be certified by microsoft to run
No.
Now a program has to be certified by the developer. The certification is in essence the developer's signature that they wrote the code that is about to execute and that it has not been tampered with since it was written.
MS is not in the certification loop at all.
Check out this article for details on how the signing process will be integrated into the Windows Scripting Host.
This feature is going to be available on the Windows platform long before Whistler goes gold. The new version of the Windows Scripting Host (5.6 - currently in beta) includes this technology and is available on all MS platforms.
More technical details on how the process will work are also available.
I've never really been a java fan, but if you get the chance, you should really check out the most recent version of the jre (1.3). It runs about 3x faster than any previous version.
Cool.
Does it run on Mac? No?
Supported in major browsers? No?
I think I'll stay "cross-platform" and stick with 1.1.7.
WIRED needs to fess up that they screwed up on this one and apologize to their readership. Not run self serving PR drivel like this article. Time was when they would have looked into something like this before selling us all down the river.
I remember when WIRED really was about "new thinking for a new medium".
Right now, today... Gotta be a StarTac + Motorola Clip-On Organizer. I've been using this combo for about 6 months now. Used a Palm before that and a CE prior to the Palm.
The synch software is very good (Outlook, ACT, Notes, Yahoo, Excite, etc). The total package is small (couple of additional ounces). The clip-on runs for _months_ on a couple of $5 batteries (and it dials the phone). Phone + clip-on actually fits better in my hand. An unconscious carry.
I'd like to see better integration between the phone and the clip-on though. Right now I can save names/numbers from the clip-on to the phone. But I'd like the caller id function on the phone to look in the clip-on as well as the phone's internal phone book. I'd be really happy I could use the clip-on as a web browser as well.

Similar story. Different OS.

As the father of 3 home schooled children do they qualify as an "institution"?

It's normally under Tools > Options > Security.
I'm sure it's just me but I find it quite funny that this article followed the Micropayments: Effective Replacement For Ads article.
I have found HOSTS files useful for blocking banner ads. They are quite easy to setup and configure.
This one is my current baseline file and includes good directions for Windows users.
This one is more general purpose and "cross platform".
Whenever I hit a new ad site I add it to the bottom of the file.
Was this traitor using proprietary software or "un-american" free software to do this double-crossing?
Wired, the affidavit, and World Net Daily indicate that he was using Linux and Palms.
"Registered" Linux user even (whatever that means). Link to story here.
So is the signature merely a means of tracing back to the developer or is it a system of software certification?
Tracing back to the developer. See this article for details on how this technology is going to work in the Windows Scripting Host.
