Cold pizza is like bad sex, ya its still good, but it just sits there, does nothing, does not tantilze you, does not tempt you, does not call your name in the form a smell. It just lays there waiting for you.
Hey, maybe that's not your idea of a good time, but I like it like that. It's all my fantasies at once.
I'll let you ponder whether I'm talking about the sex or the pizza.
Cold pizza is a different meal than hot. That is definite in my mind. I have a hard time choosing between them, but I think I prefer the cold. You don't have to worry about it being too hot, you don't get burned by oil pooling in the pepperoni. You just eat and enjoy. Damn, slashdot, I'm hungry now.
Fortunately, one of the things Exchange Server does right is use a database. That email is stored once (per server) no matter how many recipients there are. Exchange Server can be the mother of all bitches, but its database has some advantages.
(Not that I don't prefer a storage format that I can actually recover when the chips are down.)
That's why it's the perfect time for it. LCD monitors are just about to come down to the price where a normal person might buy one. And they need different signals than a VGA compatible CRT. Besides, consumers fall for it all the time anyway. Ex.: I can refreq my pager to go with any carrier, but my PCS phone is worthless off the Sprint PCS network.
But this has nothing to do with stopping rippers. I don't see how it could, although the angle of downloading a video stream that matches some of the hardward in your system has some appeal. Still, that's mostly been tried through the P3 serial number, and the market didn't buy it. It has everything to do with the fact that Intel builds perfectly adequate video controllers into all their consumer-grade chipsets and thus have a huge portion of that market. Now they can get a license fee from all the monitor manufacturers that want to sell to the $400 PC market. With some tens of millions of units sold each year, that means some quick cash.
Then they can license it to other video card manufacturers... then tell the monitor companies to stop supporting legacy input... then tell the video card manufacturers to include a few bytes in their BIOS to detect whether they're on an Intel CPU or not...
I have found the ultimate path to karma. If pointing out that the 13th was six days ago can get moderated up to a 3, I should be able to write 4s and 5s consistently.
Sheesh.:-) I was wondering how this article could have 10/380 or so comments. (In my 3+ view.)
I think it's time for me to go home, or at least find something significant to worry about. Maybe I'll inventory the floppy disk cabinet.
OK, try taking Netscape 4.x with all the modern features enabled over to www.toysrus.com and see what you get. The style sheet support is so broken that it can't recover from the designer's error. IE can, and that makes toysrus.com an IE-only site. This came up precisely *because* they are trying to use HTML 4.0 and CSS1 correctly to create a site that will work anywhere, with a GUI, a braille screen, with no more bandwidth used than needed.
Now if they would put the style sheet in where they say it is, it might work with Navigator too. But they would probably find Navigator's CSS support so awful that they'd rather have it look good under IE and not work with Netscape than try to find the microscopic middle ground where both major players support the same parts of CSS1 in their 4.x browsers. If you can get through, try the site in IE. It's fabulous work. I doubt they care that they are unwittingly helping Microsoft and ultimately hurting themselves; MSIE is simply the best way to present their e-commerce front end, period.
If Netscape Navigator 5.0 -- the finished, packaged product they can link to on NetCenter and have 50 million people install with a few clicks -- does not appear very soon, I am of the opinion that we will lose the web to Microsoft. And then we can almost give up. If Mozilla makes it, however, then we will be free to use whatever niche browser we want, because MS will submit to standards.
The more I think about it, the more I agree with the editorial featured here a couple weeks ago. Sorry, I couldn't find it through search.pl.
*Some*one has to be the central registrar. That's just how the system works; every root name server has to be able to give a definitive answer regarding the existence of every domain. Never mind the smaller problem of duplicate registrations, etc. We are near a point where a failure in the root servers would be a major catastrophe.
NSI already does the job and personally run the most critical (oldest) root servers. I see no evidence that anyone could do better. While I don't want to buy my domains from them, I do want them in this position.
It might be better to force this function to split off into another corporation, though, but I don't think it's a really big deal.
4 Gigs the max addressable limit in a flat space, not period. Otherwise we wouldn't have seen more than 64K on 8086/80286 machines, either. In both cases the CPU has more memory addressing pins than bits in registers: 16-bit registers, 24-bit addressing on the 286; 32-bit registers, 36-bit addressing on the Pentium Pro, II, and III. In both cases Intel uses segmenting to push a cheaper technology to grow a little bigger because the next platform is going to arrive far too late.
The (impossible?) trick is to make segmented memory access "clean". Neither Linux nor *BSD has chosen to embrace the hoops needed to use large memory P6 machines. NT doesn't get full advantage of >4G either, you know: that RAM does have a 32-bit string attached. Offhand I don't know about Solaris, SCO, or anyone else. I'd be a little surprised if Sun didn't do it, although I'd also understand if they left it out to encourage UltraSparc sales.
The K5, K6, K6-2, K6-3, M2, C6, et al have no such extensions, of course -- just Intel's patented P6 processors and buses.
Cyrus IMAPd is definitely gratis for academic use. If I thought it was gratis for commercial use I would have switched to it years ago. Do you have any evidence beyond the license text itself that says it is freely usable for any purpose?
Permission to use, copy, modify and distribute this software and its documentation is hereby granted for non-commercial purposes only provided that this copyright notice appears in all copies and in supporting documentation.
Oh, wait, they've amended it recently:
Permission is also granted to Internet Serviceoviders and others entities to use the software for internal purposes.
Like ssh: I can use it to admin my own machines but not to let clients log in, not without buying a commercial license. It still ends with:
The distribution, modification or sale of a product which uses or is based on the software, in whole or in part, for commercial purposes or benefits requires specific, additional permission from: [CMU]
So I conclude that I can't use it to serve customers. I wish I could conclude differently; IMAP4 servers are hard to write and neither truly free one is so great.

Pretty easy when they give you the source. Sheesh. Next thing you know they'll "decode" how OpenBSD implements IPSec.
In fact zip files are routinely sent as Win32.exes because people in general don't have an unzipper, and other platforms' unzippers can unzip them anyway. Microsoft routinely screws the utility industry; I don't know why they can't do something useful and include at least unzip.exe. Thanks for Perl, though.
Really, this one is a pretty standard worm that's hard to blame on Outlook; it's not like it includes VBScript to automatically run the attachment.

My friends built it up so much that I was a little disappointed by the way I didn't immediately want to stay for the following show. But I very much liked the movie, and I don't say that about a lot of movies. It wasn't 100% original but it's the first time some of these elements have been executed so well on film. It didn't take long for me to decide that I defintely want it on video when it comes out, and now that it's been a few weeks I feel like seeing it again.
I think I'll have to go alone, though. My gf was quite quotable when I asked her, as we left, if she liked it: "If you'll tell me what it was about, I'll tell you if I liked it."

In other words, about what current aircraft do. It's an airplane, meaning airports, meaning airport regulations and security. It won't change the world that much. I guess if a metro area was covered by dozens of vertiports instead of two or three airports it would reduce your ground travel time, but that's all.
But if it does come to light, the market for air traffic controllers is going to go through the roof. Maybe I should look at a new career.
Isn't anyone excited about the possibility of the *real* LinuxHQ coming back? Remember that all this kernelnotes.org stuff was just temporary filler when the LinuxHQ maintainer ran out of time to do the site. It never had linuxhq.com as a permanent domain, and it certainly never had the quality IMO of the original LinuxHQ.
Ooh! Ooh!... Oh, you weren't asking for a show of hands.
Seriously, I'd use it although 15 minutes is a bit short. Currently I have to make sure I have enough of my current novel left to get through a meal before I go to Burger King. Otherwise I need to stop at the bookstore first. This way I could read/. or something.
Of course I would want porn availible too but that's just me being a sick little puppy.
A lot of the adaptors don't go past 66 or 75 MHz very well. It's one more length of copper and one more connection that has to be perfect at the higher speed. Several are reported to go at 100 MHz, so just read reviews before buying.
It's both more specific and less specific. Your own example 192.168.0.0/16 is a/16 but not a class B. There is still no lack of firmware out there that can't either can't think in classless terms or that default to classful thinking. Fortunately the latest releases are almost all OK and have been for some time.
The remaining class C space could run out around the end of the year and it will be a problem. I would, if I were dictator of ARIN, cut the 'they're not fees' line and charge triple for netblocks from the remaining class C space versus class A space. Modern equipment will be fine and older equipment moving into new addresses can still get real class C networks.
That and figure this: in a few years we will have routers many times as powerful as those we have today but the same final limit on IPV4 addresses. If we could approach 100% efficient usage of the IPV4 address space we could buy a valuble year in IPV6 deployment. Fantasy-benevolent-dictator-rhdwdg would shift policies in that direction. But this is the wrong thread for that thought.
How many times does the word `our' appear in Katz's piece? Once, and it's not even used in the sense you describe.

I don't think it's a major issue.
I didn't really like the review overall but I don't see any explicit lassoing of/. readers in it.
