Although it is not fast, the speed of connecting to VNC is quite tolerable.
One thing I do not like of VNC is its inability to shut off the Java http server, which is a security problem.
Read carefully the following paragraph quoted from the article: "Monopolies have the power to enrich themselves by evading the limitations of the competitive marketplace. Prices need not fall when demand slackens, and demand need not slacken if the monopoly makes itself essential to the economy (like electrical power or computer operating systems). "
Quiz now: Look at the last paragraph, which computer operating system is MSNBC referring to?
Isn't JavaScript a C-style script? Besides why use this acroynm (CSS) when it is already used by Cascading Style Sheets? This only generates more confusion that necessary.
It is a good and a bad thing at the same time...

Google Plans an IPO
·
· Score: 2
Google is a good search engine and going IPO may ensure continuing service. But I fear that going IPO would force the company to divert itself from pure searching like what Excite, Altavista, etc. did.
Look, I just tried Red Hat Linux 7.1 yesterday and the interface is pretty much dependent on KDE and GNOME, and these are NOT YET mature enough. If RH can't even make a decent UI for the OS, I cannot expect them to get a "nice happy GUI interface" for their database product.
Hey, MS has been using BSD code since the day 1 of Windows NT - a very well known fact. And they never deny it. Besides when MS was "criticizing opensource", the arguments were against the licensing terms of GNU and not open source in general.
I wonder why slashdot editors keep posting this kind of stuff. Just to please some Linux zealots? News for nerds?...hmmm....
You won't get money being open source and you need money to get consoles out before gamers buy the games. Besides, you still won't get money from open source games. The idea is simply broken. Indrema lacks a sound business plan because every good business plan puts getting money in the top priorities list instead of treating profits as an afterthought.
You're blaming Microsoft, but Microsoft is not the only company using Verisign certs. What about others that have failed to notify Verisign of its design flaw? In any case, Verisign, being an "expert" in this field, shouldn't have come up with this design flaw in the first place.
VeriSign has revoked the certificates, and they are listed in VeriSign's current Certificate Revocation List (CRL). However, because VeriSign's code-signing certificates do not specify a CRL Distribution Point (CDP), it is not possible for any browser's CRL-checking mechanism to download the VeriSign CRL and use it. Microsoft is developing an update that rectifies this problem.
Read it again. The problem seems to be Verisign NOT specifying the CDP in their certificates. If the CDP is not even there, whether or not MS has CRL checking is irrelevant in this case (it can't be used anyway).
Also, check this link at MS (Certificate Revocation List Checking): http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/library/plann ing/security/ipsecsteps.asp.
It seems that CRL checking is supported, although disabled by default. There are also options in IE|Options|Advanced|Security with two options for checking revocation lists.
Why don't they create something that is nearer and where ping times are still acceptable at our beloved moon first? At least, moon is still reachable and when the remote control stuff doesn't work, theoretically, they could still send a couple of people to fix things.

Try to ask this again at AskSlashdot. The replies here will not be much, given that your msg is mixed with others.
The basic version allows you to edit too (chop), but only through command-line.

Read it carefully. Ballmer is talking about a particular type of open source, linked to Linux, which is GNU. The question was:
Q: Do you view Linux and the open-source movement as a threat to Microsoft?
Ballmer: [...] The way the license is written, if you use any open-source software, you have to make the rest of your software open source.
The bold emphasis is mine and obviously, he is referring the license to GNU, not BSD.
Please give me the article (or link) of the MS droid who said that GPL=opensource.
From the articles that I've read, it was never implied so.

Hey, the specs are nearly the same, except the GeForce3 chip. Why can't MS do the same, i.e., a smaller size X-box instead of this gigantic monster?
Add to your list those disk-caching utilities like Hyperdisk, PC-cache...

Just watch out... if this is true, we'll soon have a new innovative SONIC blue screen of death from Microsoft whenever a game crashes!
