Does anyone know how LaBrea works on a DHCP network? I'd rather not have it screw around with my networkd when a system tries to renew its lease and finds that no IP addresses are available.
I agree with the need for calm and rational thought, but we cannot allow individuals to commit such acts with impunity. I guess we'll find out if the U.S. can still go balls to the wall or if that fire has gone out of us.
I find it interesting that the document released by the DOJ continually remarked about how it's actions were intended to "benefit consumers," or "aid consumers," or "relieve consumers."
Is allowing a known monopoly to charge grossly inflated prices for an operating system with both security and privacy flaws a benefit to consumers? I'll let y'all be the judge on that one.
Side note: Bush is the same president who thinks that allowing 3rd world style arsenic-in-the-drinking-water-standards, drilling-the-ANWR, and well-nigh banning stem cell research will be good for the economy too...
The article states that the Itanium pulls 130 watts of power. That seems rather high, even for the space heaters that we like to call cpu's nowadays. Is the Itanium using the new all-copper.13 micron process, or an older technology?
What are the odd's that one of the Ximian programmers will get bribed into working out some sort of black market in bugs? I can just see the details now:
What you fail to realize, is that even if the laptops in question are crappy, obsolete Dell or Gateway junk, they are still COMPUTERS. They can be NETWORKED. Their contents can be UPDATED.
While this works in theory, your idea has one flaw. Computers must be updated by a human agency, and are therefore just as subject to flaws as normal teaching aids might be. Just because little Timmy finds out the sound is faster than light on a COMPUTER doesn't make it any less false than if a teacher told him the same thing.
Instead of working from obsolete, dumbed-down hard copy textbooks that have been eviscerated to satisfy the bible-thumpers in texas, kids can work from current material, obtained on line and edited or written by their teacher, or by community volunteers...Who just happen to be those aformentioned Texan bible thumpers that will destroy any information that offends them.
The article talks about ease of remote administration and low costs as benefits of using Linux, but it doesn't mention the added security that a *nix-style network provides.
I remember that my high-school decided to use an all Windows "solution" because it was easier to maintain. While this might have been theoretically true at the time, within a month about fifteen of us managed to get full administrative access without even breathing hard. The nightmares resulting from a bunch teenagers with access to an entire county's grading system, scheduling, student records, employee records, etc., easily negated any "ease of use" that Windows might have provided.
Maybe we should play that point up a bit.

You'll never have to deal with another "Fr1zT P0sT!" message again, except for the only legitimate one.
I have to deal with AIX every day at college, and I can already tell you that Linux beats it for most ordinary tasks. However, the AIX method for DFS is excellent. Is there any chance IBM will be releasing AIX under the GPL?
Actually, my experience has shown me that that a big buffer actually increases battery life. My player will actually turn off the spindle when it's running on the buffer, using less power.
I was reading the changelog and it said that one of the pre- 2.4 kernels improved NTFS support. Has anyone out there tried this? I tried it a while back and blew up my entire NT partition, and I'm about half afraid of it. What kind of progress has been made in this area?
I had the same problem a while back, and then I realized that there were only two viable solutions: I could either get a better job or create an interdimensional gateway to a small pocket dimension for storage purposes. I created the gateway, but my company had an explicit "no portals to other dimensions" clause in my employment agreement, and I lost my job. Believe me, that was tough to explain away on my resume.
I read the article, and I still have one question: How does a ship this size attain the structural rigidity to keep from deforming under it's own weight? I have this image of the entire ship squishing like some kind of cartoon.
How are these people going about making Damascus steel? If I remember correctly Damascus steel was hardened by stabbing prisoners of war with a red-hot blade and leaving it there until it cooled. This bonded it with the organic nitrates.
Actually, as much as I hate to say it. Microsoft is on to something with the Windows scripting host. It can interperet Perl, VBScript, Jscript, and possibly some others (I don't remember offhand).
The software giant on Wednesday confirmed that some of its MSN Hotmail servers were infected with a Code Red virus, the computer virus that exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft's own server systems.
The emphasis is my own, and I'm happy to point out that a reporting agency has finally begun to grasp the fact that Microsoft IIS is part of the problem.

"Alright, buffer overflow? That's 5 percent. Poor optimization? That's ten percent. Logic errors? That'll cost ya'."
They'll just add talking animals and bad musical numbers to them first.

I don't think you would want to use 2.5. It's an unstable testing branch of the tree, as all odd numbered kernals are.
