Traditionally posting a direct link to a 1 meg file on the front page of/. is dumb... but at the same time... DoubleClick is not a very popular company when it comes to the ads they sell or those like them... so such a/.ing can only hurt those most/.ers dislike... hum
A couple of co-workers use Source Off-Site... and have no end of problems with it, but then it is their only solution for hitting our VSS server without having a tunnel in... which we still have never bothered to build a capability for despite the use.
Not at all. A source repository is not unlike an e-mail server or web server.
The platform you are running on should not affect your ability to access it.
Imagine a world where you could only access a server if you were running the same client software? That would be a horrible world without interoperability.
As yet there is no good Linux client for it (V6 at least)... just wait for VSTS (Team System)... it will have 3rd party clients for just about every platform when it ships.
Bah, tar and feathering is good if you want to shame someone... I think stoning and crucifixion needs to come back as possible sentences for some crimes.
I always find topics like this interesting under the header of "Your Rights Online." Not too often do you hear about the rights of the patent holders, or the rights of the inventors, or the creators... do they have no rights?
I argue a similar thing with regards to Microsoft. Often people gripe that Microsoft does not conform to standards and how horrible they make the world... and yet by their actions, Microsoft creates and adhered to the de-facto standard.
Which side then is right? As in both cases, people do not go with the norm and create their own 'standard' of what is right.
The big thing missing from Trillian currently and for a while is reliability with regards to sending messages over the MSN network. Take a look at this thread where the issue has been ignored for well over a year, while present far longer.
Nyeh, information wants to be free. Nyeh, all source code should be open and free (as in beer and speech). Nyeh, profiting from ones own inventions is anti FOSS!
You've taken a rather opposing view to the majority on/. I fear my friend. While I agree with you... we are in the vast minority. After all, in the opinion of many here, Microsoft is a convicted monopolist who deserves no rights... regardless of how many flaws there are in the previous statement.
Really? I work with and develop systems that are used with ATSC as well as other digital video standards... with out reaching very far, I can lay my hands on a half a dozen different products that my company makes that are used in multiple countries that use ATSC... including the US without modification or special tweaks.
I disagree with your assertion that the ATSC that is used in the US is somehow... Americanized or has become an American specific standard. Yes, there are some devices out there that don't play by the rules, this can be found with just about any standard, and in many different places.
The problem with even minor tweaking to the ATSC standard for use in a given country is that all players involved would need to agree... and that is no easy task considering many of those same companies would like to be able to sell in other ATSC using countries as well.
By rest of the world using DVB... are you not counting South Korea, Taiwan and Argentina as part of the world? They, along with the US all use ATSC instead of DVB for terrestrial broadcasts.
No, Microsoft has said several times that hyperthreaded CPU's, along with multi-core ones will only be considered a single unit by the OS. So with XP home and a dual core chip, you are fine, just as XP pro users are with a pair of dual core chips.
In any battle, technology is only a small bit of it. Policy is an area that is far more important than technology in most situations, even when you don't know it. Would you rather they sit on their hands and let the spammers continue to ruin the internet?
I don't see you taking an active step to stop spammers other than maybe a little filtering and deletion here and there.

Windows XP X64 Goes Gold

IIRC, 2k and XP pro both are limited to 4 gigs of ram. Assuming you have that much, a single app is pretty much limited to 3 gigs of the system, that leaves just 1 gig for everything else. Move to a 64-bit machine with XP64 with say... 8 gigs, the same app still gets it's 3 gigs of ram (or more if it asks), leaving a full 5 gigs for the rest of the system and other apps.
I think you've got that backwards, NT4 for Alpha was pure 64-bit, and DEC shipped an (32-bit) x86 emulator to help existing applications be able to run.

I tried... but couldn't get it to work under NT4.

You could always do what my co-worker is doing... start a blog on the topic of a co-worker (in this case, me) named I Love Brendan Grant.

I for one welcome our new sleep deprived woodland critter overloads!
But isn't it "Daylight Saving Time" and not "Daylight Savings Time"? (ie no s)
That is all fine and good except for that I have yet to hear the EU accusing Microsoft of stealing anything.

Your example is flawed in that it assumes that only the money won through ill-gotten gain is taken... this is much much more.

Really? Microsoft has had 64-bit editions of Windows for years, remember Itanium? Remember Alpha?
Provided you have large amounts of memory... even 'old' 32-bit apps that use want to use lots of memory will benefit (2-3+ gigs that is).
