Let me counter all the whiners by saying I enjoyed this Slashdot April Fools just like I have in the past. It was great for a good laugh and as it does everyday,/. brought together many of the cool pranks across the Internet that I'd have never seen.
Me too - did you catch when he was complimenting both Pataki and Bloomberg and said New Yorkers were discerning voters and then stopped, grined and said 'err Most of the time'
I like Google so much. Yes, their search engine rocks - nobody can compare.
But in the end they still haven't forgotten their roots and can still have fun - it reminds me when other Internet companies didn't take themsleves so serious all the time.
Don't look out your window! There's Temoa engineers scraping up pigeon droppings off the street to do a little reverse engineering!
Oh come on - its only one day. I myself look forward to April Fools on Slashdot. I still chuckle at sending pointy hair's the lossy compression story. And I think QT console is gonna BE the next thing. So sit back and enjoy - and hey, if the stories aren't funny, write one:)
Intel's solution is for Yoga Inside to change its name, with the chipmaker covering some or all of the costs involved. "If they went with 'Inside Yoga,' we wouldn't have a problem," Mulloy said.
Stephens at Yoga Inside has a different answer. He thinks Intel should embrace his foundation and become its primary corporate patron. The chipmaker, after all, already offers yoga classes to employees at its Silicon Valley headquarters.
Connector let you connect only to exchange 2000, Crossover let you run almost all office apps and connect to ANY exchange...
Well, just a guess - if all you need is Exchange access, I'd think that Connector would be faster (it's just a protocol converter) than Office XP under wine+ But I've not used either so who knows. I've got Crossover Plugin and it works nicely, but some apps can drive wine up to 50-60% utilization when idle - ugh.
Enigmail rocks - it may be in development, but Moz 0.9.9 with 0.39.2 is sweet. I use GPA on linux and WinPT on windows for easy key management. Installation was a snap - click the install button and restart Mozilla. WinPT even bundles GnuPG with it if you want. So it is coming along nicely.
Codeweavers rocks. Seriously this is a killer app for wine. If this works, than maybe Lindows won't be vapor.
No doubt! I really wanted to kick Windows to the curb, but really got attached to Trillian for IM (yeah, Gaim, Gaim, but My friends use Trillian and we use SecureIM to plot our world domination)
I bought Crossover PLugin 1.1.0 and bang - Quicktime, Trillina, RealOne, etc, etc. VERY cool. Best $25 I ever spent on software.
Granted, wine likes to suck up my CPU cycles, but hopefully the success of Crossover xxxx will help improve that.
Considering how stable NS6 is, coupled with the AOL server backend, it's no wonder the system sucked.
Total FUD. I've got many users using NS 6 Mail and they're happy with it. I've used Mozilla mail for almost a year now and I can say right now its the best email client I've used for what I need (an email client - not email, calendar, to do's, etc, etc, etc like Lookout) Now that Enigmail is out for GPG integration - I'm loving it.
Having an architecture that scales its performance beyond 2 GHz is also better design and engineering. Athlon cores won't get there. They're doing all they can to step them by 66 MHz, pouring R&D money into massaging the timings.
Maybe not better - its well known that the Pent 4 was DESIGNED to run at higher clockspeed because Intel knew GHz sells. The P4 was designed to do less per clock cycle than the Athlon, plain and simple. That and consider how far AMD has taken the K7, which came out to compete with the PIII, not the P4.
AMD's next volley is the Hammer and it will scale to higher speeds, but in teh end - who cares? I want performance and could care less what speed the processor runs at.
The thing that excites me is AMD is going to bring 64-bit computing into the desktop - somethign Intel has no plans to do. Better yet, we get really fast x86-32 processing with x86-64 processing to boot - no it won't happen immediately - of course. But as technology advances, the Hammer could become a standard design (which you can bet Intel will compete with - Yamhill lives for sure) which like a previosu poster said, is a great thing about AMD - they are driving Intel and that combination is resulting in amazing advances (and price reductions) for us consumers
By copying bitmaps of Microsoft icons, you are violating copyright law.
You must be joking. In that case ANY non-Microsoft tool such as pcAnywhere would be illegal. Better yet, viewing copyrighted material in a web browser would be illegal even if you had hte right to read it cause it was being 'copied' to your desktop (say in cache) Thats insane.
After you'd worked with one of these machines for a while, you got used to the behaviour of the lamps and of the rows of Blinkenlights
The lamps may be LEDs now, but not much has changed. I've got all my servers in one place next to each other with teh networking gear nearby. All blikenlights in clear view. I run web services, email, etc for a number of folks so I have pretty regular traffic. Its amazing how you quickly associate blink patterns and sounds. I can tell when my raid array (Deathstars) hits a bad sector (which is too often), the network lights tell a lot - I can tell by my switch which server is getting hit the most, etc If I hear an unusual sound from disks or notice odd blink pattersn - I often investigate looking for intruders;)
Now if all my web servers had teh triple gauge combos on top showing CPU load, Network load, and Temp - that would be WAY too cool.
So many ways to waste what little time I have to do stuff like this!
This JSR stuff is bizarre. I cannot believe Caldera voted against Apache while stating "Caldera agrees with a lot of the concerns expressed by Apache. We would like to see more to be done to protect the interests of open source providers." What gives? If they supported Apache's position, why did they vote to approve?
And the fact that Sun voted Yes with no comment speaks volumes.

LOL - I forgot about that one and have added it - of course you can add items too - anyone can (all the items in that list and all the others came from site users)
The is the first press release I've ever seen from a publicly traded comapny that consisted entirely of bullet points...
Which is nice, but I think they got a BIT repetitive. If I read "Red Hat will" or "Open Source (roots|software)" one more time. All I kept thinking was 'Bob Dole thinks he...' He always spoke in the 3rd person:)
Should be interesting to see where ACSJ goes from here!
The problem with the SV24 is that it sounds like a jet airplane in my bedroom
The SV24 is louder than you'd expect. And from what I found with mine - its the damn 1" fan in the power supply which is right behind teh vent holes in the front of the case. The fan in back is slow and quiet as is the CPU fan that came with the low profile heatsink. I've been temped to take the power supply apart (unplugged of course) and replace that 1" fan. 1" fans tend to be noisy but there are some quieter ones.
Seems a bit extreme to me. My sites have shown up in Google fairly quickly AND I've found the Google tends to index the most - grabbing new stuff faster than the others.
Now it took months to get into DMOZ, but we did. Yahoo - still hasn't accepted us into our proepr catagory even after 2 or 3 tries over a year and a half.
I think Google could benefit by adding some more advanced filtering command slike Altavista has - I agree they are nice. But the bottom line is, for obscure sites, once you get in Google, look out. Months later we finally got into the other mainstream search indexes (we submitted to them all at the same time) and in teh end Google is THE place for referrals. By orders of magnitude. YMMV, but it seems the other search indexes blew it when tehy killed free submits since folks knwo that they will only return paid sites (plus rank skewring, for $$$, etc)
Only time will tell, but I use Google daily and am happy with the results and performance - no other search engine comes close IMHO
I wasn't saying put this into the SV-24, but into a case like it, but smalle r(my original post wasn't all that clear looking back) What would really be nice is a Spacewalker case about half as high and not as deep. Just deep enough for a floppy in front with HD sideways in back above this mobo and space for one PCI mounted in a riserboard sideways. Net install LInux and wheee!
Anyone notice how the CPU in the pictures says 'Fan/Heatsink Required' yet there are no apparent mounting mechanisms for them? Guess you could use an adhesive heatsink - but I'd rather not! Ah OK - they've got two screw holes - but they don't seem to be in the usual spots? I guess VIA will ship a heatsink with this baby too? Site doesn't seem to mention it
Slashdot Mirror
So Taco et all, keep up the great job!
Me too - did you catch when he was complimenting both Pataki and Bloomberg and said New Yorkers were discerning voters and then stopped, grined and said 'err Most of the time'
Weakest? Nah - the story combined with the removal of anonymous posting? Hilarious!
But in the end they still haven't forgotten their roots and can still have fun - it reminds me when other Internet companies didn't take themsleves so serious all the time.

We all KNOW OSDN is an AOL front, they just need more. And TODAY I don't even NEED the tinfoil beanie.
Intel becoming their main corporate patron - LOL

You might also try Ximian's Connector and Evolution for a more native type setup.

Yeah, until Hollings manages to get the SSSCA passed

It was intended for this story about Sun and others voting against Apache & IBM related to legal issues for Java standards. My bad!
