Pawsense is written for Win32and I didn't see anything about Linux. When I leave the keyboard, I usually lock the workstation. Even if I do a remote session using Netmeeting, I can run taskmgr and select "Lock Computer" when I'm done. Nice concept, but was it really necesssary?
All that could be said is that 'x number of servers are running *nix for service y'. If anyone undertook the effort to quantify that in any detail, I think MS would not look kindly on that employee. How could anyone verify what would be found? It would require access to MS's network.
The comment "www.hotmail.com is a Win2000 box" is meaningless. It could very well be gatekeeper for a flock of penguins or demons.
They'll de-orbit the Galeleio into Jupiter more than likely. They could drop in into the dayside so we can check it's spectra as it enters. We may or may not see the chemical makeup of the upper cloud deck.
Galeleio, Galeleio, Galeleio, Figaro, Magnifico! No, no, no, No, no, no, No, no, no, absolutely not!
OSX could very well be running on Intel equipment, but probably not in the way you'd think. Apple could very well release a Macintosh that uses an AMD at it's core. With the right drivers it wouldn't be much of a stretch to move all of your hardware to such a Mac.
Such a machine would use an Intel-compatible processor, but that's it. Apple still makes money on hardware, and Wintel users get to keep most of their system's.
I think the natural choice for distributing written works such as novels is HTML. You end up with a file that is negligibly larger than the equivalent text file, but have some control of formatting. Everyone has a web browser.
I propose replacing the words "disturbed teen" with the words Jew, Nigger, or Homo and then seeing if the Pinkerton proposal still sounds like a good idea.
Shocking? It was meant to shock, but it's no less valid for the language.
They explained it in the ST:The Roleplaying Game that the Kilngons that were in ST:TOS were Klingon-Human hybrids designed to eventually replace humans, and that the forehead-ridge-pattern-of-the-day Klingons are "Imperial" Klingons. Rodenberry looked at it and waved his hand in unoffical blessing.
Um, not that I know anything about Star Trek or anything . . .
"Episodes can show us virtues like blind obedience, jingoism, militarism, and all the fun of being a gun-toting redneck ("Let's go shoot us some goo^H^H^Hbugs")!"
That's definitely true of the movie. I didn't find that in the book. The movie was a fun, brainless [*REALLY* brainless] way to spend 2 hours. Only once though. Please don't make me sit through it again.
"The people who read/respond here are mostly *NOT* users of windows. "
That's kind of an assinine thing to say. I'd say there's probably a large segment of us that run MacOS and Linux, or Windows and Linux; people too cynical to run only one OS.
An Apple machine running an x86 proc does not an x86 compatible system make. The mobo in such a mythical beast could even run a lot of the hardware that exists in a typical x86 system and still not be x86 compatible. Black Box, if you will forgive the pun.
Apple could easily start production of an AMD-based machine and still maintain control. They'd simply have to make sure that such systems aren't sold piecemeal, that I couldn't just go down to Computerstop and buy a $300 mobo and move all of my hardware into it.
Remember, the G3 and G4 procs are used in Apples, but they are not Apple processors. It sounds like things have not and may not be too rosy with IBM and Motorola. I think they're still miffed that the only customer [so far] for the chips is Apple.
I'm a die-hard x86 user, but I'd be first in line for such a machine.
The big economic powers are behind the Internet. It's not owned by any one nation. The infrastructure is owned by each country it passes through. The US was simply the nation lucky enough to be behind the development and the initial push. Hence the lingua franca English. I'm not going to deride anyone's english skills -- except the morons who speak it as their native tongue and can't spell or form whole sentences -- in any communication. Ich spreche ein bisschen Deutch from my three years in high school, but there's a lot I don't remember. It's ironic to think that the US military was originally behind this tool of global freedom. That and the 'God given right' to freedom, liberty, free speech, free beer, etc. can rub the wrong way sometimes. This again is a cultural thing. Other nations don't value freedom any less, but their strengths it seems lies more in a feeling of community. All nations need indiviual rights *and* community responsibilities. Any country that fails this test will be routed around.
For the love of God, no! Do not waste your time or money!
When I arrived at the theater, some people from Buena Vista were there handing out review forms. *Yes, yes, no, 8hours a week, mainly for porno.* I had an awful feeling of dread, like I haven't had in a long time. When the nine-foot, red playdough alien shed the tear and the horrendously overdone music swelled, EVERYONE in the theater groaned. I was just lucky enough to be seated with a few friends. I swear it was Mike, Tom, and Crow all over again.
That is what this movie is good for: a bargain rental accompanied by a six pack and a few friends. Don't expect anything more from this movie.
I would recommend creating two partitions, one OS and one data. You could copy the setup files of any apps you want to install in the data partition. I would strongly recommend the latest edition of Juno, as they offer free internet access. Copy the 9x Yamaha driver to the data partition. Just don't try to install Office 2000 on this thing.:) Find some nice GPL software for it, maybe install LiteStep. As an aside my 9x installation at work has a nice, clean LiteStep desktop geared toward the semi-monthly Friday Night Fragfests[tm] we hold.
If you're interested, you could copy the install file for 98Lite, which can remove just IE5, or Active desktop as well. A quick test at work showed IE5 using 6Megs of memory, and Opera using only 1Meg. My machine has the power, but that's a matter of choice. Yeah, put the Opera setup files on the data partition too.
Start the 9x install in a regular box. After it asks you to reboot the first time, shutdown the machine and pop the HD in the Iopener. The setup should extend it's feelers and detect the hardware on the box. After the install, run any installs/deinstalls you care to, and you're off and running with 9x. I'd recommend the parallel port Ethernet until a better solution presents itself. You could torture yourself with serial to serial connections if desired for updates/additions.
I'm here after work tooling around burning backups of my MP3's -- er, data, and I happened to stumble on this article. My Win2000 box's desktop is actually pretty bare. I've dumped everything that gets left on the desktop into My Documents. I've got sub-folders and shortcuts from there to the D: drive. I keep everything in one spot to back it up.
The only function of Active Desktop I use is to create small toolbars that point to my other machines' share points. The quick launch bar has shortcuts to my most used Apps, stuff I use to help people troubleshoot and Winamp. My desktop Icons were stolen from NeXT. At one point I had Active desktop completely mask my desktop so that all I saw was a blank canvas.
I've completely reworked the Start Menu. Someone thought it important enough to put it there, so I use it, and contrary to wisdom, it actually works. I've grouped the Apps in logical ways, IE and Opera in Internet, my personal tools in My Tools, etc. It was great feeling getting Opera to see the 'net. I placed a shortcut folder above the Program folder with things most people would leave strewn about the desktop.
I've taken time to learn how to work Windows. How to organize and install programs, how to get it to do what I want and not what it wants. Getting things to install sometimes involves editing inf files by hand, or digging deeper into the CD to find out where something really gets installed from. Did you know that NT4, Win98, and 95 can fit on the same CD? Copy the i386, Win98, and Win95 directories to the same CD. The rest is useless fluff. I used 98Lite on my Game installation of Win98SE and used Opera instead.
In all my experience here the only time a system needs to be reinstalled or restarted is when someone has done something irretrieveably stupid. These people you want to rescue from Windows will be making the same mistakes in Linux. You will be exchanging one problem for another. I know the pitfalls and moods of Windows, you know the pitfalls and moods of Linux. They're going to whine to you or whine to me.
I'm not wearing rose-colored glasses when it comes to Windows, you are just not cynical enough.
Because, unknown to the Germans, the dope [protective covering] used on the fabric of the Hindenberg was highly reactive, essentially a form of explosive. All it took was one spark and the ship's skin went up like detcord.
Check out The Millennial Project by Marshall T. Savage. Arthur C. Clarke writes in the preface that he "is awe". That's impressive. The whole book has a kind of Open Source feel to it.

Exactly!

If I may be allowed to read this back to you:
"I'm always surprised at how little you people seem to know the issues involved"
"If Apple ever did switch processors, it surely would not be to Intel. They might decide to go with AMD"
"Intel is far too tightly intertwined with Microsoft to be viable."
You mean the other non-x86 processors that AMD is working on? I know I'm nitpicking at your otherwise fine posting.

January 1, 1990 I walked into work at the D.O.T. and looked over a couple of traffic reports and noted the date - 1980.
Ever seen a CD in a microwave? Looks like the CD lopped the head off another immortal CD. Of course the CD comes out kinda crispy.:)
