Ya, you'd think they'd actually know how to use a search engine. "apple computer" will get you apple's site. "tulips gardening -florist" (w/o quotes will get you gardening tips for tulips. "dvdr880 review" will get you some reviews of the philips dvdr880.
Out of curiosity I tried this same stuff they tried with google on http://search.msn.com. The "apple" search brought up only a few actual hits for apple with #1 being office depot, and #11 being apple.com, the "tulips" search brought up the first 5 links are to proflowers.com and 1800flowers etc... with the bottom half of the page being encyclopedias yadda yadda, the "dvdr880" search brought up every link to every tech store in the known universe, with only 2 that I could tell that had reviews of the model, one of them was ironically linked to this page http://www.google.dealtime.co.uk/xPC-Philips_DVDR8 80~FD-87
uhhh, that was a joke, because newb's sometimes refer to the distro number instead of kernel version when talking about linux. *sigh* I guess the joke was lost.
You've comitted the gravest sin of them all, asked a question about Windows XP on Slashdot. Three nerds will arrive at your door shortly with the Linux CD and baseball bat.
What were you going to do? Rip them off of some products you buy from there, then name your pets accordingly so it will show up on the scanner correctly?

Will an intel emulator work? Something such as virtual pc? I know you can use the commercial product for Mac's called codewarrior that is able to compile for intel. You'd still need some kind of emulator to test it though. Has anyone else done this?
in my main.cf created a line that says body_checks = pcre:/etc/postfix/extensions
then created a file called extensions that looks like this: /^(Content-(Type|Disposition):.*|\s*(file)?)name=( "[^"]*|\S*)\.(ade|adp|bas|shm|cmd|com|dll|hlp|js|j se|exe|com|chm|hta|jse|reg|shb|shs|vbe|vbs|vxd|scr |pif|bat|lnk|dll|vbs|js|mp*)\b/ REJECT
The first line (yes it's all one line) blocks all executable files from entering the server. The second line block the only version of sobig that we received. Actually we received 2 modifications...one attachment was called your_details.zip, and the other was 'your_details.zip the ' allowed it to get around the filter, hence the wildcard.
The key is, to inform your users over and voer not to open things from people they don't know or aren't expecting. If you start blocking zip's you might as well block all attachments.
How endearing. You, presumably an IT guy at that paper, think using Mozilla takes precedence over the editors' work.
Now now, lighten up it was just a joke;-) If you are able to follow you will see the blame place on AP, which someone else in this thread has sided with me on. All I want is for people to stick to the standards. That's not to say proprietary software can't be useful or is bad, but the AP stuff doesn't offer anything that other browsers can't do, it's just the way the applet was written.
We almost did. The reason we wanted to was because mozilla offers a lot of modern features, that would also run on windows 95 (netscape 7+ requires 98). We then realized that our stupid editors (I work at a newspaper) access the AP photo's on a server that uses some retarded version of Microsoft java that won't allow anything other than ie4+ to connect to it.

It's using asp scripts *ack*...how secure is this thing? It's running IIS 5 according to netcraft. I'm leary of submitting private info to a windows box...:-/
When talking about the Chinese governement, it's probably more like this: *BOOM* Myth as in there really *BOOM* isn't a god named Zues, *BOOM* or Myth as in tanks in Tiennamen square? *BOOM* there are no *BOOM* tanks in Tiennamen square.
I've had similar issues with belkin LVM's working with OpenBSD. Turned out to be a PASSIVE kvm and what I really needed was an ACTIVE kvm. The difference for those that don't know is that the active maintains a signal to the mouse port in effect "tricking" the computer into thinking it was never switched away, whereas passive kvm's will just switch it away and don't really care if the OS notices.

I'd recommend sourceforge, unless you are not releasing the source, in whioh case www.linussoftware.org might be a good place to list your software.

It had better be at least linux 8 or higher.
I like the interface already. I'm all for changing it as long as it doesn't run any slower. It takes forever to open on my k62-450.
I just wish I could see what the images look like....mirrors anyone? If anyone can get through....
How about upping the name to D?
Don't you mean B-?
I see a lot of requests to _add_ things. Is there anything that should be put in as a request for removal?

Here's what I did with postfix.

"..electronic device to create a three-dimensional image of its surroundings and respond to changes in real time"
I'd put on a windows partition for that!!

Question 2> What was the most dangerous thing you ever tested that made it to market?
yadda yadda...

I thought this was called macromedia flash?? or the more aptly name "blue puzzle peice in the middle of the page that doesn't load in galeon".

Funny, they had this functionality in system 6
Will someone please please please convert the keynote into mpeg, so us left over here in Linux land can see it? Man I wish I had os x :-/
