Very good point. I think it was a bad move for Red Hat to eliminated the End User version for exactly the reason you mentioned. Whoever has to set up these systems will probably choose the one he is most familiar with, all else being equal.
Yep, I got a very nice virtual server from Tektonic for $15 a month. Very nice because you can then resell that to people for designing and hosting webpages, email, etc. Best part is having root, so you can admin the machine yourself. If you don't need a full server, this makes a lot of sense.
Well, it's quite obvious that he doesn't. Since they don't seem to have any food stores sitting around on the Enterprise, it is all synthisized on the spot by the computer. Thus precluding him from adding it after it was synthisized.
We can further conclude that either you can't program the computer with your favorite tea, or Picard never bothered to do this. He always had to be very specific in ordering, "Earl Gray Tea, hot." He never asked for sugar, and since he never had a sugar shaker around, it can be assumed he took it without sugar.
Eh, it's not like they were storing critical data files in that flash memory, it was a few pictures and other scientific data. It sure beats losing the whole rover.
I'm sorry, but this was less of a book review and more of a rant by the author on his view of the SF world. Sheesh, next time try to devote more than a sentence fragment to the book itself.
It is free for both the download and the CD version. Although I would imagine you have to pay shipping for the CD. Check out the site and click on "Get the Download", and you can see the price is set to FREE.
Most places broadcast an analog signal along side the digital, so you might be able to just plug the Tivo directly into the cable feed and use the analog. This also saves unencoding MPEG and then reencoding it again. Analog is crappier sometimes, but I would think actually getting the correct channel recorded might be more important.
$50 per megabyte? I think you have made a mistake somewhere...nobody in their right mind would pay $50 to send a megabyte. I think you forgot some unit of time or have the wrong unit (Gigabyte per day?)...
I didn't think you could run N64 roms because there is no hardware accelerated opengl drivers for the xbox yet. It wouldn't work very well in software mode.
YES, definately do not send back a reply. I've gotten about 5,000 copies of the virus in my personal mailbox and about 1,000 auto replys from virus filters who just blindly send the message to the From: field. I think the virus just generates random emails with common first names, and is thus using my email address a whole lot.
Yeah, it really sucks. You can't send any traffic outbound on port 25. Luckly I had another server on another network, so I could set up a VPN tunnel to get the mail out. They do not (currently) block port 25 inbound, so you can run a mail server if you want to receive mail.
Kinda blows that they cut off port 80 after Code Red, makes it hard to run a webserver.
Yes I guess it does depend on your definition of compile. But most of the time I've heard it termed "interpert", because you aren't really generating an output as you would when you compile code.
Actually, no they aren't. Java source code is compiled to byte code once. From then on that byte code is read by the Java Virtual Machine and executed. The JVM does do some JIT compiling, but it would be wrong to state that you have to recompile every time you run an application.
Seriously, they need to get people off of building that thing and actually maintain their network and put some antivirus filtering in place. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but they've had over 24 hours since this thing broke, and they havn't done much at all from what I can tell.
Holy crap man, this virus is driving me nuts. I've gotten over 5,000 emails in the past 24 hours. Apparently it seems to use common first names attached to domains, and I am getting blasted. Virginia Tech has done nothing to stem the tide of email pouring into my mailbox.
I truely dispise this stupid virus and nobody should be cheering it on, because of the swath of destruction it is cutting through innocent victims.
You can already run many, many apps that were written for linux by using Cygwin. As long as the program is userspace, it can usually just be compiled for cygwin. This has the advantage of producing a windows binary and is pretty speedy. I've got KDE and all its applications running just great in cygwin on a Windows 2000 platform. They have XFree86 that you can use, but since I already owned a copy of Exceed, I can just use that.
1) How are you supposed to place an order without registering and giving them your info?
2) Does this mean you think they are good because they got the RAM to you real fast (before you even got the email saying it was sent), or does it mean you think they are bad for sending the email out late?
Not trying to flame, just trying to understand your comment.

Well, technically, they're based in Mesquite, TX. But that's really a suburb of Dallas.

Heh, I thought it was just me! Opera is great except for the few times it decides to choke.

Hah, I was about to say the same thing. Kudos for posting it before I got a chance.
I've bought stuff from Virginia Tech's surplus auction before, I've got tons of those VT ID stickers I can let go for a low, low price!
Not where I live, I can see about 15 different AP's from my access point. Lots of overlap.

I don't have Tivo, but I'd imagine it can use an IR Blaster to change channels on the satellite.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I hate this virus with a passion.

I can't make heads or tails of your post.
1) How are you supposed to place an order without registering and giving them your info?

That is exactly the parent post's point. That cheaters hurt other people from the same school by having the outside world making these assumptions.
Wow, that sounds too fantastic to be true. If it were really true, you should have hired a lawyer and sued em. I wouldn't take that sitting down.
