1. User sees the ILOVEYOU virus as a.TXT attachement, because outlook doesn't show the.vbs ending. How on earth could Joe Average see the diffrence?
2. Win9x, NT and W2k assume, that the User needs to have adminstrative rights by default. Nt and it's descendant both have a Adminstrator account. Why doeas the user account need adminstrative rights then?
Ofcourse, a clueful NT Admin won't give users Adminstravive rights, but we all now that "Clueful NT Admin" is a hoax:-)
Open imagemagick. Hit the right mouse button->open
what's wrong with the picture?
Not only every single program invented it's own way to the file opening screen, but every single file load screen is re-invented as well!!!
And this was just an example. Every single configuration file on my computer has a different syntax, etc. I realise that gnome/kde should be making applicaitions more consistent, but At the moment this is a pain in the ass.
We really need A style guide for Linux, which would considered with same authority as Linus is.
Perhaps because Kernel DRI modules are for a diffrent reason than than XF4 modules? Kernel DRI modules are AFAIK for fast 3d access while XF4 modules are for loading apropriate 2d driver
from a single binary unlike the 3.* series where
we had XF86_Mach64, XF86_VGA16, etc...
NTLM authentication, some proprietary means which Microsoft's Proxy Server uses to identify clients. I gather that Netscape never supported this, nor does Mozilla (does anything other than IE?), so I can't test it out with my neat work net connection.
Actually, Samba, fetchmail and mutt atleast support ntlm. No web browser thou, but I'm surprised that mozilla hasn't support for it.
DirectX is entirely backwards compatible (ever heard of COM versioning?) all new additions of DirectX are done thru implementing a new interface IDirectDraw3, IDirectDraw5, etc. A DirectX 3.0 game will work fine in DirectX 8.0 Huh? howcome then my moto racer (for dx3) ceased to work after dx6.0 install?
Well why is it then that Windows is advertisized to be easy to set up working without tuning? Heck, most Windows Tech Support teams advice not to poke around with the settings of a factory installed windows system.
Amiga has been under a lot FUD recently. Unlike popular claims, Development is not dead and to show this we are proud to present the developers show: AMIGACON3000 To been shown:
AMIGAOS 3000: All the features that were promised for AMIGAOS 2990, which was unfortunatly not released, were bought by XYZ, who have developed the concept way beyond the original. Allready, at the demo state, all the necessary #include features of a modern operating system.
Yes there are demergers too. For Example Hewlett-packard/Agilent stuff. Nokia has splitted away practicaly all lines except for the mobile phones. (Nokia was known in the 80's of its rubber boots...)
ATM all one can do with geforce is vga16, because it dosn't seem to VESA compliant!! I've heard rumors, that Xfree 3.9.17 will have support for it, but there no notice when it will come out... Sure, last Xfree snapshot was just 31. August, and they proomised to do a snapshot every 6 weeks and that is already due... Maybe I'm too impatient, but owning the fastest card in the block and only beeing able to use it fully on windows...
Someone needs to just open a Strong Encryption company outside the US (Mexico? That's where I'd put the factory anyhow) and start mass-shipping crypto-enabled software and phones to the US.
Sure, it's done all the time (Datafellows ssh, Stronghold Apache etc.). The only losers are the IT industry in the states, who can't export similar stuff that others importing every day!
Slashdot Mirror
What does this article really offer new? It's been known from right the beginning that they run a Linux cluster. See here:
I find it more interesting that infact they use python .
Two points:

The pre20 is already there. I guess we will include the real 2.2.15 there two.

4dos
Actually Only tcsh and zsh bypass 4dos in the power and ease of use. And you need to config them a lot to catch 4dos.

This is where i found mine. compiles well and works well. If can't bother building the server, i can send you my binary http://www.s2.org/~jpaana/nv/gefo rce-3.3-patch.gz
