The assumption we had about the site was they wanted to make a portal to the university, so they can make money off it (putting a million ads on each page targeted towards students, and/or their families.)
The university made him take off the phone directory on there because they claimed they owned the phone numbers/information in there. Does anyone really OWN that kind of information?
I believe the University has dropped the case. I think ttyp0 posted this a few weeks ago when he first receieved the letter, last I had talked to him (on this past Friday). The university has dropped the case against him. They relized that they would not win (He owns a trademark in the state of Indiana on PurdueOnline). The University really does only have a trademark on Purdue [remove to make this not a trademark violation] Univeristy, and Purdue [remove to make this a trademark violation] Boilermarkers.
The University came after me last year when I launched PurdueDating.com, however they did not pursue the domain, just the fact I was running off Purdue's network, thats why I left their network and relaunched my site. ttyp0 and I speculated that they wanted the domain so they could build a site they could make money off of, and figured that he would just say 'Here you go'.
Microsoft is like a big parent, they have money, the smaller companies don't have alot, or need more to do what they want microsoft gives them money, the company does well, they both make money, and then microsoft screws them. Hmmm.. okay, lets not have Microsoft posts, ummm this has been up for a while, and only had 19 comments.... why are we wasting bandwidth/cpu usage for it? Oh heck why am I wasting time writting this? Its five o'clock somewhere, lets get a drink
I signed up for an account with them just for the hell with it a while ago....I login like once or twice a month.,....and I've never used the email address to send a message, however now I 20 spams a day, its pretty damn useless in my opinion!
I've seen some Tempest technologies in action, I know its more than just a single function. However wouldn't the distance on a laptop lcd is considerably less than a CRT, because of the differences in scales of the energy involved in each of them? If CRT's can be captured at distances of 1000 yards, wouldn't a LCD be more like 10, maybe 100 yards?
I had a friend who used to scan frequencies to hear the noise from various devices. He always had a hard time finding the frequency of a laptops LCD, but he never had a hard time finding frequencies given off by cpu's, crt's, people, and other electrical devices.
I am a student at Purdue University, I started a web site back in Janurary called PurdueDating, after it becoming very successfull here, we were shut down by the University for being on their campus. After some debat we redesiged and opened up as CollegeDates.com. We've been around for a while, and have in our opinion been very successful. I've met a few people through the site, and it always makes me feel good when I hear about someone that has been dating someone for the past 6 months and they've meet through my site.
There should be a class action lawsuit placed against Microsoft totalling $10 * every copy of Microsoft Windows 95/98 every sold. Anyone who can prove they have a license should get $10 for each license they hold. The money they cannot give out should be given to the FSF to promote the future of free/open software.
I've been saying this for years. Everyone said 'no thats not possible, you cannot artifically inflate that stuff'. But it would definitly be a challenge for Microsoft to do it...but I bet if anyone could do it Microsoft could do it.....large unannounced cash assets in the past.....'voila look we have an extra 1 billion dollars'. Really do they support their software that much that during a time when they have no new products, and people aren't really buying more stuff, and they hire so many more people, that they can really have that hire of profits?
I think Linux at Universities would not have happened if it were not OS. It would have absolutly no use in my area. But since it is OS, we can take the code, and make whatever changes we need to the success of our project. It has saved us countless hours by being able to hack the kernel at will, add features, remove features, or modify them. We could just as easily use SunOS if we didn't have Linux as OS.
Linux is the second best operating system in existance today (tied with *BSD), and I think Linux will have a very long future because of this. It is also because of this that Microsoft is running scared. It is something they do not control, and something they cannot control. I think we're going to see Microsoft vaporwaring for the next few years to try and detract people from Linux and OS...it is a nesscary evil, and will thankfully be around though the next millenium, it it (and *BSD) will both be the best OS until the day comes that they design the next best OS.

Which would you trust a life support system run on WinCE? or a Life support system run on Linux? How about on your pace maker? Would you like your pacemaker to run WinCE? As soon as your heart beat becomes iregular it crashes!
Okay no idea how I got to MS bashing....but....if O.S. dies....WinCE will live, lets hope that doesn't happen.
Testing with DisplayMate software revealed a few defects, however. We observed some pixel jitter that could not be eliminated even after we tweaked the timing settings. The jitter showed up only on images with fine patterns. With an XGA signal, the image size and position had to be adjusted manually. And when the PDP-502MX displayed the 4:3 XGA resolution in its normal mode (not scaled to fill the screen), the aspect ratio was slightly off, making circles look like ovals.
Die? You mean get murdered! Come on if your on an island with 15 other people, and only ONE gets $1,000,000 (look at all this zeros, not many eh!), wouldn't you kill everyone? The thing says 'survive', its population control at its finest! Next it'll be 100 people....then 1000 people...soon we'll all be living nice and comfortable.....just take people from large metro areas, and within a few years, they will be nice and relaxed.
Its not worth RedHat or anyone else to respond to it. Its complete Microsoft BullShit v70.34(TM). Microsoft is so afraid of losing market space, and they know they are, that they need to try to make people panic that Linux isn't good.
Its complete bullshit that you need a "Specialized Administrator" to configure/optimize a Linux box, and a dumbass NT person can do wonders with NT, um hello thats because the people who did that shit, probabaly use NT, and wrote have the damn subsystems, and the 50 million API layers it sits on.
The place I worked over the summer (Motorola), didn't know how to configure/optimize a server just meant 'Click this button to Optimize Server'. That server crashed 5 times daily, they wouldn't even think about switching to anything else. I was the only person in my group that used Linux on their computer, and I was one of the few who acctually got something accomplished. My NT partition kept crashing, and made me feel like I was on my 386 again, I had installed Linux onto the laptop, and it flew.
Okay I'm done with my ranting....its five o'clock somewhere, I want a beer.
I don't see how this could be a really hard choice of who will be producing them. There are only two companies that have the latest greatest fabs. Intel and IBM. I cannot see Intel doing the fab on the chips, well because the chip would directly compete with Intel. I also doubt Transmeta would want to license it to Intel for the same reasons. IBM on the other hand would definitly like to have its name associated with a chip that has the potential to unsurp ol' Mighty Intel. I could be wrong but I don't think AMD has any fab plants, or any that can do sub.25 micro,....those suckers are expensive....most of the Fab plants running around in the US are ones that Intel/IBM dumped to other companies when they needed to go onto bigger and better.
Man can I would have *never* guessed they were designing ANYTHING like an x86 emulator, heck I thought they were gonna make the worlds most expensive flavor of gum, one that could link into your brain and determine what flavor you want it to taste like, and then change its molecular patterns and be that flavor, and after time adapt to your needs, and predict what flavor you will want five seconds from now. An x86andwhateverelsemulator who would have thought!
This agreement again looks like a generic document that Corel uses for beta testing, , I think someone at Corel should think a little bit more before they send out items.
Transmeta is working on a Microprocessor that is able to run x86 code, PPC code, and perhaps a few others, however the key thing is they are developing a new method of doing tasks, fast. Their chips have ALOT microcode (Guess why Linus works there!) to do conversions of x86/ppc to its naitive instruction set. It is rumored to run x86 code better than the IA-64 can. Of course this is all dynamic speculation of my memory.
We should have a poll 'Why do you think you are like the way you are'
I'm the way I am because my older sister was a crazy, nuts, a really screwed up while I was growing up, so I always locked myself into my room with my nice trusty 386!
"Geeks" sometimes have a tendency to lock themselves into a room while they do their work...and if they don't have interactions they tend to be more autistic, because they know how to interact with computers, and not people...Then again people who sit on the 'net chatting all day are proabably a little more social....but still not as social as someone who didn't sit on the net all day chatting....Okay back to sitting on the net chatting.
Linux scales GREAT for 2-4 processor SMP systems, but once you start getting into the 8/16/32+ arena Linux starts to faulter, mainly because I don't know of very many Linux developers (SGI?) that have access to machines of those sorts to do development on. Microsoft can throw $10 million (not that it does cost $10 million) to research/develop/code NT for a 32 CPU whatever and not even realise it did that.
Okay maybe I'm lost about this somewhere.. Maybe I just haven't watched it enough...What is it with Star Wars? Why is it so popular, I mean its got all the cool comp. graphics, and it was the first of its kind....but its now 4 episodes and thats it. How can you watch/rave over 4 episodes of anything so much as people do?
When Star Trek: TNG was around and Gene Roddenberry was writting/producing episodes Star Trek most of the time was good, every week (during the season) you could expect to watch a new episode that was most of the time a ride through space. Every episodes plot was pretty much differnt and unrelated. You had the same crew, but it was something always different.
Star Wars was 3 episodes (now 4), how does/did that compare to being able to watch a new episode of Star Trek every week or so. Would the Star Wars followers be any different if Star Wars was a series? Maybe this is a line for a totally new conversation:)
They wanted to do what they tried to do now....They wanted to try to make money off someone elses ideas/products by registering the name prior to it becoming popular...
