APIPA is Windows way of doing "dhcp-less dhcp" for "fast" networks, where there's no DHCP server. I.e. a quick meeting workgroup. with no external network connection.
All the services will work over APIPA fine...file sharing, etc. just no central server is required to do it.
Mapped to each other = the links, common runtime functions, common dialog box functions, etc. are loaded at *os start* and are available in memory to call for applications...Hence, it loads a bit faster initially.
I agree....and speaking as a teenager, I get to say this without any bias.
Drivers need to know that it's a privlidge, not a right.
That said, anyone whose had their license for 3 months and gets a speeding ticket, gets their license suspended for the next 3. And then the cycle repeats. Do it 3 times, and you lose it for a year.
I can't count the number of times some retarded kid with his girlfriend in the seat next to him, has cut me off in traffic, forcing me to panic stop or swerve out of the way, either into another lane (dangerous) or off the road (dangerous)
Maybe a large ($1000+) fine could be paid instead to forgo the suspended license...enough that most teenagers don't have it, and most parents will beat the living shit out of them for having to pay for it. Or, even better, make the parents directly responsible for the fines their underaged offspring incur...
That way, the people who are inclined to abuse their transportation, won't be. And, since it only applies to the first time you get your license, it doesn't matter if you're 16 or 18 or 38...You follow the same rules.
The "maturity" of the driver has nothing to do with it...it needs to be impressed that they can't do anything they want to.
I'd pay some nominal access fee for AOL Instant Messanger, etc, if they wanted to charge for it...I'm thinking a small *yearly* fee but if it were small enough, I'd even be willing to go monthly...$10/year isn't too bad to ask, and that would potentially generate $BILLIONS of revenue for AOL (which does desperately need it), or MS, or whatever other network wants to sell access...
Nice thought, however, I think that by sharing a song that *you* own the copyright on, over a P2P network, is implicitly giving permission for anyone to download it: including RIAA.
For a paper with an overt religious adjenda, the CSM is exceptionally unbiased in its stories when it does print one. Granted, it may only print stories that support its viewpoint, but said stories are presented factually.
Silicon is in the same family as Carbon (same column)
As indicated by Mendeleev, the creator of the periodic table, elements in the same family share the same properties.
Carbon and Silicon share the ability to form chains of arbitrary length...this property gets weaker as you travel down the family, from infinite chains (Carbon) to max of 10 (silicon)
It only follows, naturally, that if silicon is an "okay" semiconductor, just as it is at forming repeating chains, that carbon, which forms better chains, would also be a better semiconductor.
Diamonds are just a pure carbon with a special crystal structure...so, of course, they should be semiconducting. Graphite may be also, following the same logic.
That's because "network printer" means, a local printer on a foreign computer.
A local printer on a network port, is actually pretty intuitive....it *is* technically locally connected via TCP/IP, its just that the local connection doesn't necessarely have to be physically directly cabled to the host PC.
Windows, you can create a TCP/IP printer port, which can be used for LPR or a suitable other type of IP-based printer (network-ready HP LaserJets come to mind).
Boot to Windows Recovery Console. This can be added by running winnt32/cmdcons from the install CD, or by booting from the CD and selecting to boot to recovery console (usually, the "R" key.)
Then type: FIXBOOT FIXMBR
You will also need the Windows Emergency Recovery disk that is first created during setup, which has copies of the initial-state of NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM on it.
I love BellSouth DSL...It's not that quick (1536/512 or so) but the residential lines are server-friendly. No bandwidth caps, no traffic shaping, no port blocking. The only thing to prevent you running servers is a dynamic IP address - and they were willing to support me fully with help setting up DNS to point to the dynamic account.
Business DSL is 2x as much for the same bandwidth but with a static IP...of course now you can add a static IP to residential DSL for $22.95/month extra which puts it right in between the two...dunno the point of that.....but yea.
Yes........Cygwin was the only environment I could find that would allow me to compile some Fortran 77 scientific code (g77 compiler) for use on Windows, without any additional cost.
The code was from the US Geological Survey, WQ data, and the compiler was free from the open source community...my introducing the lead scientist to open source (cygwin) helped significantly with the project, instead of paying to have it rewritten by a programmer or three.
the code was for the kissimmee river restoration project, google it if you're interested. the largest ecosystem restoration ever attempted, and successfully nearly completed now too.
I've stayed in a cabin in the Black Hills for a week, a few years back. It's a truely beautiful area -- and the renters provided complimentary full-subscription Dish Network satellite TV service.
I don't want voice recognition...my PC's voice recognition system *still* doesn't recognize some very standard english words when I say them, even after several hours of training, lots of regular use, and even adding the words it misses to a custom file complete with a recording of me saying the word about every possible way I can. Voice recognition in a television would be horrible. There are already voice-recognizing phones...my experience with them is that, they are almost totally inaccurate or ineffective.
I would, however, be very interested in the other components in the system; especially the camera bit. I have already thought about implimenting a type of laser tripwire system to alert when someone is approaching the door in my house and linking it to my computer (probably pretty easily doable) but it would be even easier to do that if the devices are already designed for that purpose.
Smart devices = great. Voice recognition, anywhere = not great.
I dunno, as a fellow technical person, I like choices -- but I do agree that if Knoppix would "push" one browser as the main one, i.e. by putting an icon for it on the desktop or something.
Same with the chat...Put GAIM on the desktop. And OpenOffice.
Leave the others in the start menu however, so the users who are so inclined can go looking for them.
They should get a license to distribute Knoppix with these -- it's already a network-aware OS that comes with an office suit, chat programs like AIM, a few web browsers, etc.
It doesn't bother me if my wireless traffic is sniffed...anything important I'm doing over a wireless connection (Secure HTTP for online purchases, SSH for shell access, etc.) is already encrypted at a higher level than WEP works at. There's no need to encrypt the entire network, if you don't care about someone reading your e-mail.
Even if you do care, IPSec is probably a better choice than WEP is.

Good idea...Publish the patch as a GPO and the first time they login, they'll be patched.

Keeping in mind that 24pt font on 640x480 is about an inch high...

I love the spin the editors put on this article.
Half of the MS crashes are the result of third-party software. That's a positive.
Half of the crashes are MS code. That's the negative.
Let's use the negative spin! We don't like MS here. Remember?
Their fault-the patch was released over a month ago, before there were any known exploits for it.
Mutually exclusive, I think.
A diamond's strength relies on the number of solid bonds it has...you could make diamond tubes, but not diamond nanotubes.

Net Send and Winchat...look them up. They'll do exactly what you need to do. Net Send can be scripted too, from batch files or command line.

Point taken :) I misunderstood your comment slightly.

It'd be perfect on this type of thing.
Shouldn't that be

That is, iirc, the IPv6 local loopback.

Most pornographic e-mails that I get contain hardcore graphic images inline, that load just by clicking on the message.
With titles like "re: what's up?" and stuff, I *have* to open them because it might be someone I sent a message to a while back...
In the U.S. it is illegal to show pornography to minors...so you'd definately have a case.
