i was at hooter's today in the inner harbor and i couldn't get a connection of any kind. they're going to have to expand some for it to be of any use, i think
6000 years from now, our fear and loathing of radiation will seem as silly to the advanced civilization of the time as voodoo and boogey-men are today. Who knows, maybe in the future ppl will want to find the radioactive stuff so they can do something good with it?
I just finished it, and was submitting it to slashdot, but I see someone else got it first. The congressman's reply is truly inspired and takes apart the FUD MS has been tossing about recently. This article would probably be quite useful in educating higher-ups here in the U.S. as well.
Why bother? themes.freshmeat.net has over 2500 windowmaker themes. your site has... i can't tell wtf your site has! the other two you mentioned looked like they might be remotely navigable, i might look deeper into them. but seriously, what does system 26 offer? i saw a couple images and a single KDE theme before i got fed up with your site.
Boy, you've really shown them then, haven't you? All they've gotta do is change up their output a bit and you just as screwed. Conspiracy theories aside, getting data without having to worry about the -presentation- of that data is a good thing for everyone.
I've been looking at these beauties for a while now, not only because you can put linux on 'em, but there's a Java OS you can put on as well, from Savaje. I haven't had any experience with either yet, but as soon as I can get my hands on a chunk of cash....
...of these devices and have been using it for about a month and a half now. I love it overall, but there are a couple things I want to do that I dont think I can with this unit:
1. While it's recording, you can only watch the show being recorded. You can't (for example) channel surf or watch another show until the one you're currently recording buffers up enough so that you can skip past the commercials. Can you watch something else with the TiVo while it's recording? I bought a video splitter and can switch video sources on my tv to watch "live" tv while the Replay is recording, but this is less than optimal.
2. It appears to me that once you select a show to record every occurence of it only cares about the day and time of that show and ignores the title of that show from that point onward. The downside to this is that if the lineup changes you get some crap recorded that you never intended to. Does the TiVo pay more attention to the actual content of what it's recording?
I think you totally missed his point. He doesn't (or won't) have the option of just 'ignoring it'. That's the entire problem. It's going to be mandated by a bunch of federal PHBs and if he's not prepared now rather than later his network could well be screwed. I recently came from a similar type of institution he's working in and I can tell you that what makes sense from a technical point of view never enters the minds of the ones who decide to mandate a solution based on the latest print ad microsloth put in their copy of PC magazine. Luckily I left that place, and am now entrenching Unix in a start-up company. And loving every minute of it.
For example, people in sane states are not allowed to carry concealed weapons, a violation against their second amendment rights, perhaps, but a law that society agress to inforce so that it is safer over-all.
What a load of bullshit. I come from a rather "sane" state and we're allowed to carry concealed weapons. God I wish I were back there. Where I am now (Maryland) guns are treated as if they get up on their own and randomly start killing people, and the murder rate here is astronomical, far higher than the state where I come from. What makes the irrational fear of guns (rather than the criminals that use them) more sane than a state allowing it's citizens to defend themselves?
Do you ever actually think about what you spew out of your mouth?
...of people who've obviously never used Java for any amount of time slamming it for things like not being portable. Not portable? WTF are you talking about?? Are you using Microsoft's VM or something? And what exactly are the "inherent pitfalls that languages like java fall into"? I find it a complete joy to write code in java. Is this just a matter of opinion (and thus not worth a lot) or do you have anything specific to critique the language on?
Jesus, every new (or at least newly released) language/environment these days takes a shot at Java for one thing or another. Why not just release your product, tout its strengths and let the developers decide what tool they need to use without all this bullshit hype/FUD?
This will protect local delivery, so user's POP'ing in or whatever will be OK. But what I would like to see is a good sendmail rule to put on the mail gateway for stopping this. I've gathered that the Content-Disposition header is key to stopping it, but I'm not sure sendmail will recognize it as a header to look at (havent put my test in place yet). I'd like to kill it before my gateway sends it on to the Exchange side of the house...
I recently bought a DC280 as well. It's my first digital camera so I don't have much to compare it against but I have been amazed with the quality of the photographs it takes. Plus it comes with Adobe Photoshop which is pretty good with touching up photographs. It's 2.1 megapixel and cost me $599.
I think you're missing the point somewhat. You make it sound like a Good Thing that Microsuck is working on exactly one desktop, while making it sound like a Bad Thing that linux has so many of them. I see it exactly the other way around. The more choices that are available, the more variety of users of Linux who can find an environment they are -personally- comfortable with. Not something dictated by some corporate monster.
Clearly we need choice at the desktop level, but is there such a thing as too much?
Too CDE for my taste... hell, I built WM and GTK and xmms and.... etc. etc. just to make my sun look as far from CDE as possible. However, I think I'm gonna build it and throw it on the linux boxen here so the normal sun users have something they'd be a little more familiar with...
I can't yet see this as a Good Thing. The only real voice American citizens had against encryption export controls was actually the voice of big business. Companies with the power, money, and lobbyists to complain loud enough for the government to hear. Now the government has allowed businesses to export encryption and now they are going to be quiet. I hope this doesnt mean that the remaining encryption issues are just going to be ignored by the government.
First, I wouldnt suggest forcing anyone into the.safe domain. Rather, sites who WANT to make sure they are seen by kids (which I would think would include educational sites) would register a.safe domain. Now as for sites who want in who other people would want to keep out... that's a judgement call. Who decides? Probably whoever runs the registration service, and it would be in their business's best interests to make sure they didn't offend anyone. So some of the borderline issues such as abortion, birth control and guns might have problems getting in. But at least it's a start, and it would take most of the ammunition away from those who would like to seize total control of the internet in the name of protecting the children.
Does this make too much sense for people to actually implement it? Suppose you're a site that wants to cater to the kiddies. Get a.safe (or some similar wording) domain. Filtering software would then only have to make sure the kids were going to.safe sites. Easy and almost foolproof. Hell, maybe even make a law against purposefully putting content on there that kids shouldnt be seeing. I for one would love to rake in the money by accepting registration fees for this!
...for actually answering the author's question. I saw a ton of posts from people plugging software for every reason except from personal e xperience with the problem at hand. And it's comforting to know that sendmail can still do the job with higher numbers of users (as I suspected). It helps me sleep better at night.:^)
Has anyone written up / agreed to any sort of open protocol yet? If so, where's the RFC or other source of documentation? I'd love to create a messaging client (maybe server, too) but I'd want to make sure it would work with everyone else. Obviously this wouldn't help people connect with AOL's or M$'s proprietary messaging users, but if they keep pissing people off it shouldn't be hard to get people to switch over.
How about right now? I trust the Seti organization, and I have downloaded and run their client for some time now. But who is this? Does anyone know? Can any reputable third party verify that this isn't malicious code? For that matter, can anyone verify that it is correct?? No offense intended for the creator, I happen to really like the idea of what you're doing. But I don't know ya, and I don't trust ya.:^)
I have built a java middle tier as well as an applet front-end for connecting to a mSQL database. In my experience the middle tier has been plenty fast enough. As for the applet front end, yes it's a bit slow to load in the beginning, but once it's loaded it's more than capable of keeping up with user input.

Umm... no, the SR-71 doesn't look like queen amidala's ship, smartass. I appreciate the "kids" sentiment, tho...
