You think a pipe and a sysadmin and soem servers are cheaper than a printing press, trucks to deliver them, people to drive the trucks, load them, maintain them, then you have to have people to run the presses, and make sure those dont break.. i think a print paper is alot more expensive to run than an online one.. there is alot going on from the layout of the paper to getting it to your front door by 7am..
damnit! AOL sux! i've been using gaim for aslong as i've been using linux. i like to check peoples away messages with out messaging them. this is all aol's fault! why can't they play nice?
GAIM rocks!
but if gaim can find the win exe file could it find out what version it is? and if it can get the version why not get it when gaim loads and send that to the aim servers when it logs on.. so no matter what version of the aim.exe you have, gaim will report the proper version for the aim.exe it will be using to get the md5sums..
I am sure that people who use gaim could easily get a copy of aim.exe legally. If libfaim could figure out the right section of the bin to reply with than they could easily have an option to reply properly to AOL request. aim.exe wouldn't even have to be distributed with it, we could just go get it if we want to use OSCAR..
i thought thats why they have such things as konsole, xterm, gnometerm and many other things.. so you can use CLI commands from the GUI.. i dont know about you people but i run my gui which i love and i still open up a console and do alot of things from there because its faster/easier/more powerful then the gui frontends that do the same thing.. there is no need to reinvent the wheel here, you just have to use what you already have...
and i have been for about a year now.. i just dont have a trademark in my domain name.. i have a very targeted audiance of about 15,000 people.. all of then students at my university.. the school tried to shut us down with some weak trademark infringement on the schools logo which used to be on the site, they sent some police to my room instead of soem lawyer with a cease and desist order.. i contacted a lawyer for myself and the school backed off.. people can suck all they want aslong as the suck right..
a while back i heard about a systems omewhat similar being tested in texas or somewher elike that. it monitored speed and milage among other things.. but it was being tested by insurance companies to figure out who lied about average milage per year and find out who was a chronic speeder so they could raise your rates. the government doesnt have to approve something like that just the insurance companies, they could
make it manditory a hell of a lot faster then the governement ever could...
are you kidding me?!? i agree that paying $1000 for a PSX2 is nuts because if you wait a while they will be available for the normal price. but these transformers are a part of many peoples childhood. i would pay $1000 for those pieces of platic because it is worth it. $10,000 is high, but if i had $1000 around i would buy them, they cost more then that new back in the day anyway..
and if you had faith in our species before you had some real denial problems...
personally, i dont mind turing my lights on and off, changing the thermostat or anything like that.. i have a few computers in my apartment and i consider myself as part of The Socioeconomic Group Formerly Known As "Geeks".. but sometimes these overly wired homes are nothing more than something to look at on/. and say "oh, thats cool.." its gets to be too impersonal after a while.
if you are doing this as part of a project i would suggest to make all the "intelligent" features as unobtrusive as possible.. if you know they are there its too much.. needing a remote control to turn on your light or change the heat is nifty, but but i dont think it will replace the switch or the dial.. the great thing about switches is that when you get home at 3am drunk and tired and the lights are off, you can still find your light switch.. but good luck digging through the couch in the dark so you can turn on a light...
Linux Today DOESN'T have that article.. maybe this is just following the formula to get posted on/.
Maybe its time to do more then a read a headline before a story gets posted...
now these top players can leave their basements and return to reality a bit more often. maybe, goto work, see their families and "live" friends.. hell maybe they could even go outside.. but thats not going to happen, they will chain themselves to their boxes and play 24/7 until they regian their position...
I gave a shell account to some one who was helping me out with some linux stuff right when i converted. Turns out he was a bit of a script kiddie and was scannind thousands of ips around the world.. turns out one of these systems was working on a project for the DoD and they gave my school a call. Needless to say my school kinda bugged out and i almost got my butt kicked out over it. The script kiddie wasnt targeting the DoD computer, they didnt even know they had scanned it. The DoD has reason to be paranoid. but i think some times they may over react to a post scan.. not everyone is targeting them..
Can't a big company take a little criticism? After any kind of bad press or at the possibility of it their 1st response is "let's sue them!". I myself own and operate a Sucks site and when they found out they sent the cops to my room and made me shut it down with some flimsy excuse. Needless to say the site was back up 48 hours later with a new design and because of getting shut down we got all kinds of free press. it worked out well for us and they screwed themselves over. Knowing a little about fair use really helped us out.

Microsofts idea of cross platform is win9x/win2k/NT/ME... so they arent lying.. its just marketing..
