How are we supposed to develop drivers then? Do we need Microsoft to sign them each time we compile it? No wonder Vista's been so long in the waiting then.
All I'm saying is that broadband to the same location as the games consoles (under the telly) is also commonplace now. I suspect it wasn't 2 years ago.
I wholeheartedly disagree with that. I use "ssh -X" to connect to X displays on Linux and Solaris boxes on an almost daily basis - and they're desktop systems, not part of some big thin-client setup. I'm sure I'm not the only person who notices that X gives better performance than VNC on some networks.
There's a 24-port 3com switch under the TV in my communal livingroom, and anything that plugs into it gets broadband. And I rarely watch TV. It's just one of those things that people have lying around the house.
You really think the PS3 will have a BIOS? Isn't the BIOS just some leftover from the 80s that some computer manufacturers still use because people insist on using outdated software that still requires it? I can't remember the last time I sat in front of a computer that had BIOS, although I guess I've probably used one remotely.
Is there any way to make Windows apps run on PPC or SPARC hardware, possibly using Wine in conjuction with something else? I like the idea of Wine, but I have no x86 stuff in my room. Not even sure if I'd have a use for it, but it would be fun to play with.
Agreed, Apple's X servers for Panther and Tiger work fine with KDE, and I get to use nice applications like Konqueror (because Finder doesn't do sftp:// and Kate alongside my Mac apps. I'd suggest people stick with Apple's X server.
It's a good article, but it could be summarised in three lines: 1) Install Apple's X server from your OS X CD 2) Install fink from fink.sourceforge.net 3) type "sudo fink install kdebase3"
If you install iTunes, and at the point where the dialog box with the restart button appears press command-option-escape, and kill the installer, you don't have to restart the computer and iTunes works fine. At least that's what I did with iTunes 5.
Perhaps it the algorithm could be used to identify spam more accurately. If it can understand the text, then it's got a reasonable chance of know if the text is junk.
I had to read that 4 times for it to make sense. I think this looks a bit better, but still not perfect...

Rather like if a webserver is publicly accessible, then anyone can connect to it. If there's stuff you don't want people to see, then force people to authenticate.
I don't know why some people see wireless networks any differently from that.
First of all, Microsoft gets no revenue from every Mac sold. Because exactly zero Macs come with Office. They come with a *trial* of Office. Customers must still purchase it separately.
They come with a trial version of iWork now. This comprises Pages (word processor that is much nicer to use than Word or OpenOffice) and Keynote (the increasingly popular presentation packages that seems to deal with PowerPoint files flawlessly). I see no reason why Apple would distribute trial versions of Microsoft Office when their own product is perfectly capable. Office has a spreadsheet and mail client, but Apple Mail has a much cleaner UI, and will probably appeal to Mac users more than Outlook does./me goes to use Pages to write his CV

I guess you're not American, I think online betting is illegal there.
perhaps it is hypocracy..

Everyone knows to look at the mirrordot article
when the site stops working. Yeah, I agree the link should be included automatically though.

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks :-)
Wine in conjuction with something else
I was thinking of something to do the x86 emulation...

I bet you compile KDE with -S just to see if it can be made any faster

It's three, using the Microsoft Word page number counting system.

BT land lines in the UK can do SMS messaging. No mobile required.
I wonder what the most bizarre platform this can be ported to now is?
I installed a web server to share my web pages out, and I installed a few APs to share my internet connection out.
:-)
If I didn't want people to see part of my site, I'd make it secure. Same goes for my WiFi, but I'm not bothered if it's all public.
Groups like BackNet exist to promote publicly accessible WiFi networks. Seems like a good idea to me

Nah, Eubuntu sounds better. Enlightenment as the default window manager.
Ubuntu, folks. Ubuntu. It defaults to Gnome (and you can always switch to KDE)
Kubuntu, folks. Kubuntu. It defaults to KDE.
You had like a 1/3 chance of the computer doing what you wanted.
Did you sell your IP to Microsoft?
