  2. Re:Uh Oh... on Acadia Streaming Patent Contested · · Score: 1

    Don't the p0rn companies that are opposing Acacia have a rather large collection of prior art for that sort of patent?

    RTFA.

    By "car LCD" they mean a 5" LCD screen -- mounted inside the computer...not something actually in your car.

    Hmmm...wouldn't the USPTO suddenly become the world's largest pr0n repository as millions of people submit 'prior art' ?

    Well, this system won't stop that either. Think about it.

    All the Linksys gear I've seen has very nicely done web-based interfaces.
    The only exception may be the multi-port printservers (never actually used one - just read the manual).

    Well, after seeing the XPort, I see no reason why a TI calculator couldn't actually be connected.
    In fact, I may have to buy a XPort and see what I can do.

    Well, Sun sells these sort of things for their workstations...see Sun PCi PC support cards, IIRC.

    Nah...they just want to show off their uber-uber-uber-1337 CounterStrike server...where the pings are 0 and the cheaters get teleported to another universe.

    Amen...I have two whole sticks of memory on my keys...and a third on another keyring.

    Huh? OS/2? Not BSD?

    I thought everyone was saying BSD is dead.

  15. Re:No need to run Windows as an Administrator on Windows Rootkits · · Score: 1

    [insane rant]
    I'll counter your post. I don't understand why people are so damn paranoid about running as Administrator.

    There's no reason not to run as Administrator, if you're not a braindead schmuck...but then again, the majority of Windows users are.

    I'm proud to say I run as r00t, Administrator, whatever....

    How do I not get 0wned?
    I use common sense. I don't accept & run strange executables (I don't verify sourcecode myself - most of the time, but I do try to download only from legit sites, so if something I use is trojaned, I'm far from the only affected person).
    I always read source on strange e-mails before I 'open' them.
    I don't let any of my hardware be directly exposed to the Internet. Everything has at least one layer of NATing and / or other protection.
    I don't do anything on the shadier side of the 'net anymore (it's just web browsing, IM to people I know IRL, and gaming with friends - no IRC, no P2P, nothing where I could meet a real enemy).
    To 0wn me would probably either require great luck or some sort of IRL connection to me (in which case, I'd track you down and beat the living sh*t out of you).

  19. Re:If Microsoft provide a cert for XBox Linux ... on Linux Xbox Project Seeks Microsoft Signature · · Score: 1

    That's what I was wondering too...

    Microsoft could simply PR spin this and say that Linux is nothing more than a "video game" and that Windows is a real "business" OS.

    (The preceding view on Linux is not mine...I like it as an OS...Gentoo is installing on my laptop right now.)

  20. Connections to 64-bit efforts? on VMware: Another Netscape? · · Score: 1

    "The next Windows Server version--code-named Longhorn--will include support for Intel's 64-bit Itanium family, of course, but it will also support 2-4 other 64-bit platforms, including AMD's Opteron, said Brian Valentine. "We will only support high volume 64-bit platforms," he said, alluding to problems Microsoft had supporting alternative architectures such as the MIPs and PowerPC on NT 4. "We will support them fully with key enterprise applications. There may be a slight lag time after the x86-64 release [of these applications], but we will support [the new platforms]." Valentine wouldn't elaborate on which 64-bit platforms Microsoft was currently evaluating."

    (Source: "http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/winnetserver_ rc1.asp")

    (Yes, I know that Longhorn server is dead...but Blackcomb server could still pull the aforementioned claim off.)

    Could Microsoft be planning on using this as a tool to get people to migrate to some oddball 64-bit platform?

    Actually, the ROM contains a compressed and encrypted (23 KByte, I think) version of ntoskrnl.exe, based on the Windows 2000 source tree.
