Anybody got a "fe-sure" on if encrypted DVDs work or not? I'd love to plop in my new bubblegum crisis dvd tonight, but I'd REALLY love to watch it under Linux. -- I'm omnipotent, I just don't care.
Imagine, if you will, when a user goes to load your home page (which you diligently converted to PNG images) and starts seeing the apple logo pop up every time a little 1k PNG is loaded on the page. imagine the user watching his resource meter slowly drop as the plug-in consumes the last of his precious resources.
It's also worth noting that this only happens for PNGs by themselves. If they're included in a page via the IMG tag, we don't see this problem.
Bloody stupid apple installer! (sigh) -- I'm omnipotent, I just don't care.
Sounds like this is a "Best/Worst case". And if all the users got off the system, the lavag would go to 0. Great, but it's not going to happen.
Somehow I have trouble believing that any trend that requires humans to give up basic values is going to come true.
People aren't going to stop breeding. People aren't going to give their money away. People aren't going to start being nice to each other. Countries aren't going to do anything as troublesome as helping to do some population control.
Insert your own pessimistic comment here! Everyone can play! -- I'm omnipotent, I just don't care.
Since I saw this yesterday I've been arguing with myself over this one. It looks too damn cool, but I have a nasty habit of buying expensive toys and letting them rot in the closet.
Give me some incentive! Any personal expriences with these? Anything that scares cats is a plus!
So what I want to know is when my TNT works...

under Linux. Yeah, I know, it works UNOFFICALLY, but not for me. I've tried everything that anyone has suggested (including Zoid (thanks!)) but I still get a dead X server!
It's a great game, but I ain't gonna reboot into windows for it any more!
I realize it's not an ideal solution, but please present another solution, then. I am eager to hear of any ideas which are superior, and I think others here could benifit from these suggestions.
I certianly understand your point, but ballot-stuffing is an unacceptable risk, ask MS has so kindly shown for us.
NAT and dynamic-IP are bastardations of the standard. They are necessary, but they break so many things like this.
What would you suggest? Fully authenticated users with confirmed e-mail addresses? Is that worth the effort on the part of the users? It'll have to be server-side so there's no possibility of cheating.
Eagerly awating any suggestions for solutions to this kind of problem. Perhaps it's time for an "Ask Slashdot"?
True, and Dynamic IPs do allow a certian amount of ballot stuffing (e.g. Keep calling back till you get a new IP, vote, lather-rinse-repeat), but that's usually limited to a class-C or a couple of class-Cs for your ISP.
Overall, I think the loss due to complete IP uniquing would be less than the loss due to not having it in place.
BTW: I like your solution more. That's nice, I may have to use that for some things I'm working on.
It looks like they didn't even require a unique IP address! Cheatproof, eh?
Yet another attempt to enhance the Microsoft reputation gone horribly, horribly awry when the true quaility of their products and thought processes comes through.
I wonder if there's a grandmaster out there who would agree to a chess tourney set up by a open-source community? I'm no chess freak, but something similar in concept to the Microsoft idea, but with a superior backend (think IP uniquing, online expert recommendations, online what-if scenarios).
Does anyone have the bandwidth and the know-how to succeed where Microsoft has failed?
"So Bill, I understand that you're a soulless marketer who has abandoned his inner geek and given in to sheer greed. How has this affected your view of emerging technologies?"
You may want to take a look at VNC. Let me see if I've got the link handy... AH. here we are. Kind of like a PC-Anywhere/Screen thing for X. Take a look, I was VERY pleased, even though it's slower than penguin-poo over a slow connection.
Seems to me like they're preaching to the wrong group. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with commercialware, but saying that running a "Commerical Quality" XServer on Linux seems to be a slap in the face of Open/Free/Whatever software.
What's good for the Kernel isn't good for the X-Server?
which is why I know why the Titanic's center propeller was smaller, and the difference between soldering, brazing and welding, and the maximum theoretical efficiency for a heat engine, and...
Of course, I was simply testing the veracity of the entire concept of translating languages. You KNEW what I meant and were able to mentally correct my error, but if the words were FNORD and GLEEBLOP, you may not have made the connection and an automatic translator certianly wouldn't.
Esp since SNTP is a time protocol and NNTP is the news protocol.
which is why Microsoft releases quarterly service packs to fix bugs
Um, how long was it between SP3 and SP4? A year? Year and a half? Quarterly? I don't think so.
The trouble is that if you need support from Microsoft on a system that has been cloned, you're out of luck. They won't help you. You've been warned.
And you get support on workstations that haven't been cloned? Oh, wait. No you don't. So you lose.... what? They won't actually bother to say to you "Wait for the service pack"?

Humor. Funny is always good.

Special guests are cool. (I agree with the other guy. Women are cool. We like women. But cool women. Get Nitrozac or somebody!)
News is cool. GO! Make news! Crush the weak! Fillet the mighty!
Burning houses suck. Try to reduce the number of those which affect future broadcasts.
We want extra Karma points just for listening!
We want a doom mod that will let us destroy parts of the broadcast which we don't want to hear!
Nuclear capabilities! Angry senators! Geeks In Space! All these can be yours!
Mine had a holy terror of it after I used a light sensor to make it a motion detector, and start running after the cats
making loud noises.
OK, so I've got the cat scaring aspect down. Now I just need to come up with the cash, eh?
Mindstorms or memory upgrade... Hmm...

This from the company that makes NT?

Oh yeah. Broadcasting from underneath a blanket.
OK, point, but I still wanted to see him squirm.
"So Bill, I understand that you're a soulless marketer who has abandoned his inner geek and given in to sheer greed. How has this affected your view of emerging technologies?"
Or Something.
Like, WOW.
Any price point information anybody? I could do with one of these, but I have a feeling that I'd need to go SCSI to take advantage of it.
Anybody have any more technical specs?
Then again, I doubt I could sleep in a house with this damn thing. Probably sounds like a jet taking off!
Everyone was painting Paxman as some kind of bulldog of a journalist. Anyone know if he asked any "tough" questions?
The closest I saw was the comment about never having heard any Bill Gates jokes.
"Bill gates walks into a bar..."

And often logic.

You are correct, of course.
it will allow more and longer flamewars than anything else since the invention of SNTP!
(with a nod to Douglas Adams)
But still a very cool idea!
Yeah, but if it's a REALLY weird problem, just try to get any joy from MS. No dice. At least, not for me.
Of course, My NT problems tear through First and Second level support like a hot knife through a Microsoft sales rep!

Jeez. Can't Anybody around here take a little humor?
:-)
Or... wait. I know. There's a MS croney in the moderator pool! I hit the magic question somewhere in there!
Just kidding, jeesh.
Now I just need my high-powered space based laser.
Cut me off in your gas guzzling SUV with one person in it, will ya!
Besides, they only say that the turnaround will be 1 week, that's not enough to track movements. Chill. The Gubment is already tracking you.
Quick... DUCK!
