I am on @Home, and have an unpatched Windows 2000 Server (Warez Edition) installation. I've just turned it on a half-hour ago. Now let's see how long it takes to get the worm. If I get it, I'll post an update with the time.
Right now my NIC is flickering like mad, yet Windows 2000 does not show these as incoming or outgoing packets. What is going on?
"Then Hydroptere will be on standby in New York for a trans Atlantic crossing. The goal is to beat the Atlantic Ocean crossing record, held by Laurent Bourgnon on Primagaz of 6.5 days by crossing in less than 5 days."
I think it is too late to move to x86. There are a huge amount of PowerPC Macs out there, and they are going to be "obsolete". That means a lot of people are going to be pissed, most likely.
Apple would also have to dump the "Classic" compatibility layer of OS X (which will be a problem for a lot of people). I dunno if the Carbonated apps can simply be recompiled for something for x86. Probably not.
You may be right though, as Motorola is really fucking up the PowerPC. If they do go x86, they would definitely use nVidia's new platform (and AMD Athlon), because they already have close ties with them, and the hardware specs fits Apple's need perfectly (except for dual-processor).
It might just make sense for Apple to make a gradual transition to x86. Initially just have an x86 Power Mac model, and go from there.
The installer is excellent, it has ReiserFS, it has KDE 2.1 & KOffice, it has the Caldera Administration System, and their are no annoying penguins and cartoons to be seen.
It is a very professional distro, except for the games at the end of the installation process:-)
It's kinda sad IBM and Motorola is not putting out PowerPC CPUs 1 GHz+. Apple claims this does not matter, but in many way it does.
Maybe IBM/Motorola has a trump card in their back pocket. Imagine if they all of a sudden released a 10 GHz PowerPC for use in Macs, and at a price point that can go into iMacs.
It is this type of speed that RISC is supposed to be able to offer...
What Netscape needs to do is create a Good-Looking, Feature-Rich, portal for advanced users.
One thing I hate about all the portals is that they are built for dummies. It gets really annoying. Also, all the portals are simply ugly, and that should also be taked care of.
BTW, I think Netscape Communicator is dead. Mozilla is taking over, and there is no doubt about it.
There is nothing special about the butterfly's keyboard other than it folds to fit inside the mini-laptop when closed.
When it is folded out, it is just like a regular laptop keyboard. I don't like the keys on it either, it takes way too much pressure to push a button.
There is nothing ergo about the Thinkpad 701.
"products from SiliconFruit and Eternal Computing now nearing production". Both these companies are vapor, hell their websites don't even work. Last year, these companies claimed they would have a product out several months ago.
The only real PowerPC platform is Apple. Other than that, companies have little to gain from trying to produce their own PowerPC boards.
Then there is the issue of actually trying to get PowerPC chips from IBM or especially Motorola. Apple has the lock on all they can produce. There is often shortages for Apple.
Linux + PowerPC is a nice idea, but it will never become popular. The only reason why I would ever want to run a PowerPC would be for MacOS X anyway. My Athlon runs Linux just fine.
Only weekly quizzes (and a short final test maybe). Long C.S. tests are not cool at all, too stressful, and a lot of students just do not perform very well. Plus there is always the time issue.
I recently got laid off from a tech company, and it is usually obvious from the get-go whether a company is going to succeed or not. For the company I worked for, it was no surprise.
Eazel is a nice idea, and I was looking forward to trying out 1.0. However, I installed KDE 2.1 yesterday and was very, very impressed. Surely it will be the default in distros to come.
Nothing dies in the open-source, but GNOME and Eazel probably just died in the Linux-business arena.

They have personal value to me, and in the future, I'm sure others will feel the same.
Web developers know the tricks of JS now... we need to define and classify them.
Now that's impressive, for something with sails.
Sorry, I am too busy at the moment to verify his references. Some of these don't look credible anyway.
(Two weeks later he makes an order for some MS products based off an advertisement from MS, without thinking twice).

Too bad moderation does not have that option

Thanks.
Not a bad start.
Any Aqua theme for it? ;-)

With superconductors allowing small, powerful, efficient electric motors... I would bet on electric cars taking over all else in my lifetime.
Heck, maybe these new motors will let people drive their 2050 Ford Monster-SUV with a clear conscious.

Please give me a high score ;-)
Make sure it runs OS X. We don't want that little application bomb icon to appear when we are trying to blow up Earth.
they have the logo that looks like an alien (even though it is supposed to be an eye and an ear).
Maybe Mozilla will actually run fast on one of these :-)
URL?
How do I know? I am a C.S. student.
LOL, thx
