How do you know it doesn't change that when you run it?
Considering the registry change to enable "DVD Library" is the same in XP MCE as it is in Vista (except it's called something different, "My DVD Movies" I believe, but the registry key is the same name), I'm guessing he didn't.
I'm not talking about the "will delaying the transition allow everybody who has been ignoring the constant barrage of ads to ignore them some more" debate. February 17 is (soon to be "was") a date all broadcasters must stop BY. It doesn't mean you have (had) to stop ON that date. A local broadcaster actually just turned off their analog tower yesterday.
I'm wondering if many broadcasters will just choose to switch over on the 17th anyway, as the ball is already rolling, so to speak. It'd probably cost them a decent amount of money and wasted resources not to go ahead with the original plan.
(I could be wrong; there could be wording in the bill forcing broadcasters to wait off.)
I have 3 MB/sec DSL, and I get about 50 kbs downloading. Maybe up to 100 on a really good day.
Are you getting that number from your web browser? Both IE and Firefox express speeds in KiB/s (bytes, and in base 2), whereas network line speeds are expressed as bits per second, in base 10. 3Mb/s is 3,000,000 bits per second, 375,000 bytes per second, 366.2KiB/s.
That's still a far ways between your numbers, but it does explain some of the difference. There is some protocol overhead at various levels to deal with, but those are relatively minor. Your best option is to use something like SPeakeasy's speed test, which will test your speeds, and report back in Kb/s (bits, base 10), and take protocol overhead into account, to see if you're actually getting close to advertised speeds. That way you're not comparing apples to oranges.
(If you are actually getting 50 kilobits per second, I am sorry, both for making assumptions, and for your sub-56k modem-ish speeds.)
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I'm just a caveman. I fell on some ice and later got thawed out by some of your scientists. Your world frightens and confuses me! Sometimes the honking horns of your traffic make me want to get out of my BMW.. and run off into the hills, or wherever.. Sometimes when I get a message on my fax machine, I wonder: "Did little demons get inside and type it?" I don't know! My primitive mind can't grasp these concepts. But there is one thing I do know - when a man like my client slips and falls on a sidewalk in front of a public library, then he is entitled to no less than two million in compensatory damages, and two million in punitive damages. Thank you.
Except according to this wikipedia entry it's called src/source because it was forked of the GoldSrc engine and they just shorten the name of the new dir to Src.
Close. The Half-Life code was maintained in the "Src" tree up until release, and then forked it off into "GoldSrc" after Half-Life went gold. "Src" then went on to mutate into the Half-Life 2 engine, and "Source". So "GoldSrc" actually came AFTER "Src", because "Src" has basically always been around.
I maintain Finnix, a system maintenance livecd. The first release was 0.03. The next release was 86.0. Why?
1) Why not? 2) See 1. 3) It had been 5 years between releases.
Finnix is currently at 92.0, and I've got to make a decision about version numbering soon. The reason is simple: "There Will Be No Finnix 95", for obvious reasons. I may just jump from 94 to 100.
I've noticed that, when Finnix is on a X.0 release, people tend to transpose it incorrectly a lot more often, saying "Finnix 0.92" etc. I think many people just cannot comprehend a version number greater than 10 or so.
Which really makes you wonder what will happen when they decide to shut down this service in a couple of years.
People will get BD players that don't suck?
I bought Iron Man shortly after work on Tuesday, and put it in my media center (currently running a demo of Arcsoft Totalmedia Theater). The branded "loading" screen spun for about 10 seconds, it gave me a warning saying it couldn't connect to the BD-Live server, and threw me to the disc's main menu.
(Of course, there is a secondary WTF for the disc being mastered to try to download from BD-Live in the beginning, instead of when you go to the appropriate menu, but the primary WTF is the other players out there not failing gracefully to the disc.)
Today I put the disc in again, and this time it downloaded the content.
(Granted, there are real concerns about the key servers for authenticating BD/HD-DVD discs, but this discussion is just within the scope of downloading extra content via BD-Live.)
Yeah, because an user running an app causing the entire OS to crash for all users is totally acceptable. Unsigned drivers making the OS crash may not be Vista's fault, but this definitely is.
Yeah, because iTunes totally doesn't use a custom proprietary USB protocol to talk to iPods that would never require special drivers.
I'm calling Bullshit! ISP shutting down usenet does nothing about anything. Hell, how are they shutting down usenet? Blocking port 119? That is bullshit too. [...] Thus is Bullshit, I say, Bullshit!

If opera dev's team can't be beaten then they must have a ultrafast version hidden somewhere, because the public versions, including 9.5 betas, are already slower than firefox 3 and webkit on many benchmarks
You say that now, but thanks to the AWESOME POWER OF CLOSED SOURCE, the next version of Opera will be unbeatable!
Just a few clarifications and personal experiences: First, Unicomp has been doing this for a good decade now, and are more of a direct descendant than "Model M-Inspired". Unicomp bought Lexmark's keyboard business which was bought from IBM. Lexmark's keyboard design was nearly identical to the IBM design, but with drainage channels and a tighter spring (sounds more like a "clink" than the Model M's "twang", but IMHO has the same feel). Unicomp left that design essentially unchanged, until adding optional changes like USB, the windows keys, smaller outer bezel, etc.
I have both a Model M (1391401) and a Unicomp Customizer (UNI0P46), and I love them both. However, I've had problems with the Model M going AT-PS/2-USB or just AT-PS/2 in some cases, so it sits in the closet, ready to return to action if needed. My main workstation has the Unicomp, with this adapter on recommendation by Clicky Keyboards. They no longer sell that model, but recommend this instead. Your average retail PS/2 to USB adapter will most likely not handle the draw from one of these keyboards, so you're better off ordering one of these directly.
My question is, since this [antenna] receives HD-TV signals, do I still need the converter box for my non-HD TV? Would there be a benefit to getting the converter box? Thanks.
Yes, you still need the DTV receiver. The DTV receiver is what actually processes OTA signals. The whole "DTV-capable" antenna marketing is largely a sham, like ethernet cables that say they're "broadband ready". Any standard VHF/UHF antenna is usable on your DTV receiver.
This is not an universal problem. It only occurs for those kernels with a specific function compiled in that most installations won't need, and which halfway decent sysadmins won't have as part of the kernel anyhow when they don't need it.
Yet another good example of why you shouldn't hire the sysadmins who blindly use what the vendors ship, but security and performance minded sysadmins who reduce installations to what's actually needed.
Which reminds me, have you done your emerge -abuop6QvvvvVVvVVxz world yet today?
Why would they pre-announce an ultraportable tiny laptop with flash drive and no optical less than 2 weeks from mac world? Probably because CES is less than 2 weeks before mac world, and this is what companies tend to do at CES?
"Man, why would they eat a lot at Thanksgiving less than a month before Christmas? I bet a little monkey whispered in their ear that Christmas was going to have a big ham, and they don't want to be a me-too, so they announced a big turkey a month earlier.":)

"Src" then went on to mutate into the Half-Life 2 engine, and "Source". So "GoldSrc" actually came AFTER "Src", because "Src" has basically always been around.

The "-n" is needed by by default, echo wants to put a linefeed after everything.
To be fair, Linux's gameplay and storyline is rather bland. Its multiplayer is pretty fun though.
Do you then let your clients know that you've sent sensitive company information to a commercial third party using insecure channels?
