a remote root exploit was found in Sendmail. You can bet everyone will praise how open source programmers find and fix these problems so quickly, but will say Microsoft sucks because that's how it's done around here. I'm gradually growing more tired of the OSS community because they continue to give Microsoft grief despite the fact that they are improving their product lines. Windows Server 2003 and many of the server products released after Server 2003 are pretty decent, much better than the old NT4 and Windows 2000 Server. If you haven't *actually* used these products and know what you're doing then you simply aren't qualified to say otherwise, things are better.
Also, when Microsoft announced they would be concentrating on security everyone assumed that meant everything they had at that moment was instantly more secure. Like a failing car company (ie, GM) it takes years for new products to get to market with all the promised improvements. I think Vista will finally contain the real work towards their effort to be more secure.
Isn't music like software in that you have purchased the right to listen to the music? Shouldn't matter what the media is. If you buy a cd and it gets damaged, I think it should be replaced for the cost of the media, you already purchased the rights to the music.
I think you mean Fedora Core is becoming as bloaty as Windows. There are other projects that are not bloated such as Damn Small Linux but then you'd complain it just can't cut it as a Desktop.
Why wouldn't you take advantage of something like this? It's one of a kind, anything that comes after it will be a clone. I'm not sure what came first but the million dollar screenshot isn't doing as hot and I'm really surprised.
Anyway, my point is something like this because it's original will get passed around, make news. Because it's new and interesting people are more likely to look around on it.
I'm pretty sure they don't check weight to determine if you put something in the bag. It's only the motion of your hand/arm reaching into the bag. I had the self-check out at Home Depot screaming at me to take the "extra" item out of the bag. I put my hand in and pulled it out, without taking anything out of the bag, made the machine happy and I scanned my next item.
There is a reason there still a person who watches the group of self checkouts. It would be WAY to easy to scam the machine.
I don't think it's a mistake. Email is about communication and often times in business you communicate to setup times when you can communicate...more. In my opinion all software misses the mark. There should be an integrated way to see how things relate to each other. I want a way to load up an email and then find all other email, documents, IM or whatever with a single click. I think we're close with programs like google desktop or Apple's spotlight. IIRC Vista will also include improvements at the filesystem level to allow you to link a file with a contact and whatever else. This is a step in the right direction but it should all be automatic.
Having the right tool for the job is nice but in the case of communications I think there is a day when everything will finally mesh together in a way that is truly powerful.
I realize you're being funny but yeah, where is my copy of fake Windows? Shouldn't they just be straight up and say they're checking to be sure you the copy of windows you are running is licenses properly?
Enabled by default and used by default are different. According to the documentation at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/myisam-stor age-engine.html MyISAM *is still* the default engine. In a different section of the link you provided earlier to does say the following.
" In MySQL 5.0, InnoDB is included in binary distributions by default. The Windows Essentials installer makes InnoDB the MySQL default table type on Windows."
Note the difference in text. It is INCLUDED in binary distros by default. In Windows the installer makes InnoDB the MySQL DEFAULT TABLE TYPE. I haven't downloaded this and I haven't verified it yet, but unless you have then...you are wrong. Sorry.
I did not RTFA but normally this means it is available as an OPTION by default. You must choose to use InnoDB but the fact is, it will be available to you right out of the box if you simply build MySQL from source as./configure && make && make install without any other build options.
I think you're stuck in a black and white world because there is a lot more gray area in mine evidently. To say that nobody is getting punished is shortsighted. The average consumer *is* getting bent because....why shouldn't they be allowed to record off of XM? People are *paying money* to listen to satellite radio. Stations buy the rights to play songs. If the consumer wishes to record a song what's the harm here? The station paid for the rights, the consumer paid their subscription fee , what's the big deal? I mean, I used to record off the radio onto tape all the time growing up and radio is free if you ignore the value of your time spent listening to commercials.
It comes right back around to XM/satellite being digital and the quality of the music being recorded is much higher than the "old" analog FM radio system. It's a bunch of bullshit. Screw progress, why don't we all just go back to records? They're the perfect medium for the RIAA because they're difficult to reproduce and wear out. Think of the cash they could make on people buying new records. This of course flys in the face of what you're actually purchasing, the right to listen to the music or the medium on which it is stored...which is it RIAA...which is it?
Your laws govern how I drive comment is weak. Here again there is some gray area you can't ignore. How pissed off would vehicle owners be if manufacturers wouldn't honor warranty work if the owner had slightly modified their cars? Oh wait, they'd be pissed off enough to get congress to pass the laws like this. This is called consumer protection, something sorely lacking these days.
Your last comment about me building a house and getting it stolen does not apply here. You tell me the difference between recording XM radio vs. FM radio without giving me the antiprogress bullshit of the source being digital in the case of XM radio and I might start to understand where you're coming from.
No, actually it's not about wanting to drive my neighbors Ferrari or driving my Kia (not free BTW). It's more like, buying said Ferrari (or not free Kia) and being told how to drive it, where to drive it and when to drive it. RIAA is pissed off they can't or don't know how to compete in todays digital world and are looking to exploit every angle they can to prevent themselves from losing business until they can get their head wrapped around this great new digital way of distributing content. It's unfortunate they're wasting so much time fucking over the very people they would hope to target down the road.
I think it's rediculous that they are getting their undies in a bundle over people being given the ability to record music from their satellite based music system. They're argument will be because you can make perfect digital copies over and and over with no degradation but why can't they deal with that when it comes to it? Why punish the good people for what bad people do? Ugg, I'm tired of corporate America.
You both need to go read it again. $300 gets you nothing but access to up2date. You must pay $300 for each machine you want to update via their system unless you want to authorize one, update it, authorize a different one and so on. That's a hassle.

No, because it's "cheaper" to transfer a tar stream than individual files.

Except for those of us who have no real choice in ISP's. My only option for internet access that exceeds 256KB is cable.

Everyone compares a dell laptop to an apple laptop for pricing...sun is just rediculous!
When will VMWare do EFI? Now *that* would be interesting.

You assume a sale was lost. Who's to say they would have bought the game if it wasn't "included"?
I think what the guy says is true, loss of a sale is NOT theft. If that's the case every window shopper in the world is a theif.

I fully agree that ID should not be taught in public schools. It is up to the religion of the child/parent[s] to teach what they believe in.
Come on that's funny! You moderators must not have one near you...

Because GPS will give speed and location, both needed to know if you are actually speeding in a certain area.
on a system that has init scripts like Red Hat's you can use /etc/init.d/httpd reload to have it reload the config file.
I think you could also do a killall -HUP httpd and this will also work.

Wouldn't that make you extremely tall then?

That rule doesn't apply to the oil companies. See, if demand goes down then profits go down so they will raise the price to maintain those profits.
