Seriously, I'm sticking with Sygate. This is amazing to me... with all the holes in every Windows version, people would trust a FIREWALL developed by Microsoft?
If you lock a laptop up tight enough but don't watch it, someone may just stuck a pencil thru your LCD to spite you.
Replacing the LCD is a lot cheaper than having your business competitor scrolling through your 5-year business strategy, or some swarthy individual gloating over his newest acquisition from the Los Alamos on-campus diner.
I had one of these 10-station Pelican switchboxes in my hand for video game, tv switching, etc. BB employee comes up and says he's got it and loves it. Asked me if I wanted the service plan and I said no, not for a $100 solid state unit. He then says, "oh, I've been through three of them already". Would you love a box you had to return a few times?
First, just because a customer could "take away" the IP range doesn't mean they'll have anywhere to put them. This isn't like WNP where Verizon utilizes AT&T's allocated phone number. The next ISP won't be able to implement the IP space without an ARIN reallocation, and even then it can't be for a single IP address.
Second, this will not destroy the Internet... it may just destroy New Jersey as a state that ISPs can have a base in. They will just have to get mailing addresses outside of NJ that ARIN grants the range to. Problem solved because it's out of NJ state court jurisdiction.
We have a rich databinding model in Visual Studio 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0 -- one that supports binding ASP.NET controls against a variety of different data sources. One of these data-sources is the "" control, which is specifically designed to enable you to bind against middle tier object layers, enabling true n-tier databinding using ASP.NET 2.0 controls.
Even the data source control names are in beta I guess.
Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition comes with a built-in Web development server that enables you to build and test applications without a dependency on IIS. The server only accepts local requests and is for build and test only.
Everyone is posting that if the XBox gets to market sooner it will have an advantage over the PS2, as if first-to-market is the only reason people bought the PS2 even though it was technically inferior.
Not so.
Most of the reason was that people liked the idea of being able to play their old games, a significant investment, on the same console.
No back-compat doesn't surprise me and I assumed this would be the case when they switched graphics processors because the optimizations would be all fUx0r3d.
still patch them, but inform them and give them a chance to buy a cheap copy of XP.
I'd like this plan as a consumer because I can simply run a h4X0r3d version right off the bat and then get a discounted price when they catch me. I get my software faster and cheaper!
Maybe if Gnome came with a defragger, a backup utility, a DRM media player, and a Windows Update tool it would be improved.
C'mon... none of these address simple usability issues like those noted by Nick Petrely. I don't agree with him on many things, but let's get usability going before we start throwing applets in.
I got a handheld OBD II reader a while ago. It is great to be able to read codes and tell a dealer what to look for, but the best use I've found is the ability to clear the check engine light. Many things that throw the light are designed to let the light go off if they don't repeat themselves after three or four engine starts. Rather than wait on that, I can clear the code immediately. If it keeps coming right back on, I know I've got a problem that needs fixing.
It is a good remedy for puckered-butt syndrome if you can run some diags yourself rather than rely on a hopefully-competent fixit shop or dealership.
The dual-boot bug is the main reason I'm not even going to try Fedora. I mean geez, dual-booting has been a piece-o-cake for distros for years now, and Fedora is from what is supposed to be the premeir Linux distro group. If they can't get the dual-booting right, what else have they fUx0r3d up?
I guess we now have to treat Fedora releases like we treat MS releases... wait for the first service pack.
Great, maybe for saving some effects company from shelling out for a few more $10K graphics servers with which they will make the next $150M movie, perhaps I can loan them a few CPU cycles and they'll cut down my move ticket cost from $10 to $9.75.
Star Wars is whatever Lucas makes it to be... it is what it is. There's no "saving" it just because we may not like the direction it took... it's the direction Lucas wanted to take it and we gotta live with that. It's his baby.

I guess now we'll have to call them "self-owns".
My best sig is this one.

At least have OpenOffice on it.
The code knocking out the l33t lamerz copies with stolen corporate codes is problably not knocking out 100% of the stolen installations yet.

when he went back in time to the 80's, then I don't either. One old Mac mouse and you're good to go.
Too bad this isn't Microsoft Messenger... they could apply service packs to Mercury and give it an atmosphere.
These are supposed to coincide, right?
Will Michael Moore say it's okay to share this one too?
as Tom McGee on Tic Tac Dough in the 80's. Air Force guy who just destroyed everybody for weeks on end.

There are two proactical points to make one this.
First, just because a customer could "take away" the IP range doesn't mean they'll have anywhere to put them. This isn't like WNP where Verizon utilizes AT&T's allocated phone number. The next ISP won't be able to implement the IP space without an ARIN reallocation, and even then it can't be for a single IP address.

yeah... SURE it does...
Right, I meant to say the process was fUx0r3d... I wish I'd known about this in mid-May, I feel cheated out of a whole month of unused CPU cycles!
Man, I had just crossed 12000 work units the other day. I look at the new stats and it's showing around 11,400.

Won't the comparison effort be thrown off a little due to the fact that Fedora will fUX0r
the dual-boot or tri-boot setup?

Right, obviously the joke flew over your head. Sorry to confuse you.
