  7. Re:Oh yeah!! Keep Win in the Box!! on Microsoft's Guide to Accepting Donated PCs · · Score: 1

    I worked for "Computers For Sschools" and when we got new computers from banks, canadian tire, drug dealers, univeristys, etc, our policy was to wipe the harddrive clean with stright 0's, three times. After that, we'd install "New Deal" on them. It was up to the school to put an operating system on (unless they asked us nicely, I do believe, and had the appropriate licenses). The thing is, when a bank gives away their computers, they DO NOT keep windows 95/98/NT installed, they most likely either throw the harddrives out at the nearest old womens head, or erase it (sometimes just deleting the mbr.. .. .. I'm a good boy).

    Anyhoo, this whole "preinstalled operating system must keep" thing worked out to be a pile of shit here. However, we sometimes used the operating systems they donated, like when windows 95/98 was still boxed in with selapane we kept it as ours, because it was donated.

    Linux is not a fricken os.

    BEos was an Operating system, OS/2 is an operating system, FreeBSD is an operating system, Linux is a kernel.

    Big fineline difference, If you want to waste your money on trying to make a good operating system ment for the average joe and to compete with windows, go try like Caldera, and Corel did.

    if I lend my newly aquired photoshop 7 cd to my neighbour so he can do his final exam and pas his course, and I don't use it during the time he uses it, that's legal right?

    Same as if I install windows XP on his computer so he can use his computer, and I don't use my computer for the duration he uses his, is legal right?

    why am I thinking this is.. way to far of a stretch.

  12. Re:eh? on No More Rebooting? · · Score: 1

    well..
    it may take a bit longer
    but bit by bit, it could write/read/rewrite memory in the main memory, eg:

    read ramstick1:6gigs:0000000000001,RamCacheTempChipThat sNewAndJustInvented

    write ramstick1:6gigs:0000000000001,1

    true(ramstick1:6gigs:0000000000001,1)

    write ramstick1:6gigs:0000000000001, RamCacheTempChipThatsNewAndJustInvented

    That way it'd still check to see if the memory had no errors, and it would just read/write bit by bit at a time each part of the memory, but first backing the bit up on a special new fast chip, or some jazz.

  18. Re:Exactly! It sure rocks in aerospace though! on The Sexiest Metal · · Score: 1

    I had a clause (although I'm not so sure about the latter because of the lack of air)

    then I realized, when the plane comes back down from being so high, and suddenly hits all the air from the friction, and the hull shrinking back to it's normal height.

    so I kept it in there.

  19. Re:Exactly! It sure rocks in aerospace though! on The Sexiest Metal · · Score: 1

    I do believe this is due to the large amount of heat created by the friction of flying so fast/high.
    the plane's height (back to front) before take off is something like 25 feet
    then when it's flying mach 3, years and years up in the sky, it's 27 ft long!
    (numbers are not right, but you get the idea.)

    I guess they thought of Trying getting steel to do that and realized titanium would be a better option.

  20. Re:Is Bruce Schneier on crack? on CNN Says Chat Rooms Are a Haven for Hackers · · Score: 1

    My girlfriend got a credit card January 16th, 2002.
    We went out for supper on the 18th at East Side Marios.
    She uses her credit card at her work, to buy a telephone on Feburary 2nd.

    she reads her bill online, feb 4th, there are 3 transactions:
    East Side Marios: 50$
    Sex shop in quebec: 80$
    Cell Phone: 50$

    Somebody got a hold of her credit card number, bought something from a sex shop in quebec.
    For the longest time we assumed it was somebody at east side marios, but now we've narrowed it down to a lady who lived at her managers house (good friend of ours) for a few months, who moved out mid feburary.
    She must of dove into my girlfriends purse to get her credit card when she wasn't looking.

    Not even 15 days of getting the card, and it was already used without her consent.

    Good thing she didn't clear the internet history on his computer, should proove as some interesting evidence.
