Even on my 'nix boxes I have IE running under WINE because it's better.
You are suicidal my friend. The first things I do with Windows boxes I have to use is to remove IE, OE and the pesky MS Messenger. They are security threats. Hell, I wouldn't even use Windows if I had the choice but they are paying me to. Best browser my arse, what do you with thousands of popups that accumulate after an hour of browsing?
I don't know who these shareholder people you refer to are. Are they the suckers that bought into Nortels, Tycos and Worldcoms? 'Cause it doesn't looks like the CEOs are there to help those people. I think they are into lining their own pockets only...
Bangladsh, Somalia, Ethiopia, Erithrea. Not that I don't like capitalism but your line of thinking is a huge generlization. Capitalism mixed with a (mostly) lawful and well governed, democratic society would be a better definition of a potentially successful system...
They'll get "liberated" on short notice. Be sure to have lots of popcorn and beer ready cause it'll be a spectacle. News flash: International terrorist and leader of the notorious SCO organization Darl McBride is being flushed out from his hiding hole in southern Utah by operation Smolthering Earth.
The receiving mail server just asks the originating domain DNS for the list of allowable IP addresses for originating mail. Then it verified the e-mail it just received came from one of the allowable IP addresses.
and I am pretty damn pissed that they invested money (mine and other people's) in SCO. I can't believe that the biggest bank in Canada is such a bunch of idiots. I'd have them sued for investing my money in a company without a business model!
Yet another download music service? I bet. After Apple, Dell, Napster, Microsoft (announced) and Walmart? It is getting crowded in that market really quickly!
The reporting is fine, you should just try and read the article instead. It does affect 10.1 and 10.2. Here's the relevant links: first and second. If indeed Apple has said that they will not patch 10.2 they are just plain stupid. That's just a very good way to piss off your customers. As other people have pointed out they seem not to have patched ssh in 10.1 either. Crazy.
Not to rain on your parade but VS had that for a while now. I use both XCode/ProjectBuilder and VC6/VC7 on regular basis and I still think VS does a way better job (MFC/.NET versus Cocoa is another story - Apple is better, Win32 is just huge pile of mess). BTW, this is coming from a guy that is privately a Mac user. Give credit where credit is due...
I just don't have the same problem with 10.2 or 10.3. I mount SMB and NFS volumes via 802.11b and my PowerBook wakes up just fine. In fact, the thing that happened to you never did to me. There are annoying things about mounts though. If the remote volume had been removed (read: I took the PB home while it was sleeping), *then* I get the spinning beach ball of death. Anoher annoying bug with the Finder is that sometimes it just won't get the file sizes and amount of free space on the remote volume (it's all zero). Maybe there is something peculiar about your setup...
XFree is 4.3 as shipped with RH9. The mouse is an Intellimouse Explorer by MS. I had to use third party mouse drivers (jamd) and it's a pain to keep reinstalling them every time. Windows has a utility that will translate mouse button clicks into keyboard key for specific apps (so for instance you can map the fourth button to 'alt'+'-' for browsers). I would be neat if a similar thing existed for Xfree.
Anyone who thinks that everything is hunky-dorey in X land is smoking something. Remember that thread about Keith Packard getting turfed from the X team and the whole mess about X people being too slow to accept patches and drivers. Maybe this is the step in the right direction to fix that. I'd like not to have to wait for the next X release to see my new shiny video card work. I am sick of X not being able to handle five button mice some five years after these have been put out to market (even Apple which sells 1-button mice supports these out of the box). And yes, cut and paste *is* broken and not having a consistent interface is a problem for non geeks. And just for the record: I actually use Linux on the desktop...
OK, correct me if I'm wrong but this only means that my server will not accept A records from the.com authorative server. So if the Verisign.com zone server comes back with an IP for a typo-ed domain, my DNS will reject it if I specified 'delegation-only' for.com. But wouldn't Verisign only need to return a SOA to a dummy server of their own to circumvent 'delegation-only'? That's pretty easy...

Does C# Measure Up?

Well guys I actually did tests. For instance insertions (push_back() only) and accesses from std::vector are *much* slower (10x) than the good ond realloc and int*. Doing a '[]' on a vector in a tight loop is a big no-no. There is no way C++ will ever be faster especially when you start using inheritance and vtables/RTTI kick in. Ouch. Every function call suddenly carries a fat price. C++ is better in every other respect than C but my point is that even C still has its place.

I write stuff that chugs through hundreds of megabytes of binary in real time data and nothing comes even close to C (and assembly if portability isn't an issue). I love STL and C++ in general (and use it a lot) but they are a murder when the highest performance is required. Don't even get me started with Java (haven't tried C# yet). Yes, it is still way much slower even with JIT (and yes the IBM VM is what I'm talking about).
I understand the 261 are *probably* guilty (although legally they are innocent right now). But my point is that the RIAA handles it in a really heavy handed fashion. Taking all the cash from a student for sharing mp3s? That's draconian. FSF isn't anything like that. That's my point.
I don't think FSF every actually sued anyone in its entire existace. They approach the suspected violators and resolve the issues quietly (frequently without any general public knowledge if I remeber correctly). They don't go around suing them for billions (equivalent of suing a sudent for hunderds of thousants) just to make an example out of it. They don't rip off their customers and get convicted for it. They don't buy legislators and legislations. Any comparison between FSF is absolutely obscene.
All current models are pretty old and especially the 15'' (introduced November last year). The rumour is that Motorola has trouble churning out the latest G4 in any significant quantities. Or maybe they'll go G5:) Anybody got any info?

In fact UT has an IRC client built in. There are big networks (ETG, progamer) with only gaming related content (no warez at all).

Damn counter is eating up 100% of CPU in my Safari 1.1 (Panther 7B53).
Hi. Thanks. I actually knew pretty much all that but I'll stick with jamd for now because of button-key mappings.

He said dynamo. You know, the thing that converts mechanical energy into electrical that can be stored in the laptop's battery.
