Just the opposite here, recommend dell for the home and have had great quality and minimal service. Few HD's but blame that on Maxtor or whoever's name is on the label...
Our SGI rep. said IBM has found 26 verbatim lines (that includes comments) in Linux Kernel from SCO code. Implecations are that SCO themselves put the code there. IBM is probably firing up the Lawyers to crush SCO's extorsion. On a positive note, the rep. said that this SCO shit hasn't really affected sales of their linux products b/c they mostly are working with intelligent clients;-)
Wow. The form 4's are fascinating. They are dumping their stocks faster than a top fuel dragster doing the 1/4 mile. Well I am glad the SEC publishes this for all to read. I wish there wree more mainstream coverage of this. I'd love to hear Bill O'Reilly or Neil Cavuto on foxnews lay into SCO for being the scum of the earth.
really smart, now piss off the NSA, FBI, CIA, DOD, DOE, and watch them go after the large linux clusters OIL COMPANIES/Energy Companies have. Holy Shit they've done it now, Georgey Bush will hang'em now....:-) This is so F'ing entertaining.
We're (US) to cheap to manufacture the stuff from a business stand-point do you think, unless federally mandated, there would be any recycling efforts here? Nope. Not to mention if we don't have the space to landfill it we can ship it somewhere else cheaper. Shitty additude but the truth.
informative...more like troll...everyone I know has clammored for MMC and CF in the pda. 256SD for the MP3's and a CF for the wifi/bluetooth/modem/GPRS and you have a nice powerhouse toy and a reason to leave the laptop home.
...playing sports we learned that a pitch is a strike when the ump calls it a strike and not when you think its a strike. As a catcher, I had a good view.
We need to keep in mind that the strike zone is being called by the regs according to the rule book where these machines are installed and are not represnetative of the modern strike zone of last year. That modern strike zone is much lower and away from the batter than the offical one thats from the letters to theighs.
Work what you are getting paid. Tell the management they want more pay or goto hell. When they fire you, sue sue sue. Document all, bring tape recorders, backup files and emails!!! SUE SUE SUE.
This for me could be a real killer app. I may just go out and get a Mac for the ability to use i-tunes. I would probably get an i-pod for the hell of it as well. Cool.
Hey I agree. My ISP has blocks the port so I can't run my own MTA. Simple solution IMHO. I get to much email as it is and as a personal user of my ISP, the username@theirISPname.net is fine with me. I see two problems here though, the ignorant (unknowledgeable) user running an open relay by accident and the decietful person exploiting his ability to use open relays. But the bottom line if they want to spam they will find a way. I ultimately feel AOL's approach is not the best unless there is some info they aren't sharing on their reasoning.
That just looks freaking cool as all hell. Thinking how early on T2 was made with respect to advancement of CG, T3 should really blow us away. Seems like the only weak link on SciFi these days is the limitations of human imagination.
I think the industry has an accepted defect rate of 50%. As quality of screens go up, error rate remains flat, 50%. If you want the LUXERY of LCD, pay the piper my friend.
Common sense should be if a parent is going to let his or her child go on the internet they damn well better know any and all of what they are doing. Are you concerned when your child goes out and plays with little johnny who pulls out his older brothers playboy? Same shit different way.
How do you differentiate what is good for children to see or not? Huh? Would brittanyspears.com be banned? MTV with picts of her in skimpy clothes? Oh thats differnt thats pop culture.
Further more I let my teenage children use the Internet at the computer located smack dab in the middle of the family room. They want to go to the fringes of the net they can but I'll see it. At some point teenagers are going to be exposed to sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll (sorry, couldn't resist); despite the medium changes from the 50s, 60s and 70s the same old concerns live.
The point isn't that Click here if over 18 is a joke isn't ment to be a prevention, its a legal samantic. The point is the parents need to parent and it just doesn't happen these days. I see it in the parents of my childrens friends, good people that "just don't have the time". Bullshit, you want to procreate? You take all the responsibilty that comes with it.
The real crime in all of this is PISS POOR parenting. It is people with comments and thoughts like yours that let parents off the hook of responsibility.
Oh and news flash, i don't care if your kids are 2 or 20, they have seen more "unacceptable" shit in the world of everyday life than you can imagine. The Internet is hardly the highest on my concern list.
Bullshit, CENSORSHIP DOESN'T WORK!!! Period! End of discussion. It never has and never will.
When I was an undergrad we had a few GB per month limit, if you went over your port was limited to 56.6Kbs. This only applied to traffic exiting the schools WAN and to students only. Not traffic staying inside. Our CS prof setup ssh accounts on his linux box and we just DL through that. There will be ways around this too....
The reason Linux was chosen by GD and other defense manufacturers is they have ruined defense projects by trying to make thier own propietary software. I can guarentee that the defense department requried commercial off-the-shelf software (COTS) for all development. Windows not open enough to use so naturally Linux was selected.
The Land-Warrior gear that the Special Ops use was originally a GD contract. They wrote custom software to work the gear; the program and gear failed misserably. Then, a few small companies in California took Windows CE, a CE PDA, wrote some custom drivers and hardware mods and you have a very useful system that is used today. Although Windows was chosen, the point is to the DOD that COTS works and has been pushed as the right thought for system development up to the highest generals. It is only natural that this time defense integrators choose the RIGHT technology for the job.
I don't know where most posters to this thread are from, but $26B is chump change. With a $350 Billion defense budget a year that is only $4B a year or 1.1% of the annual budget.
The US produces more food than can be eaten. We air drop for FREE billions of tons of food for third world nations.
Furthermore, you all have to realize that the only reason UN demands are NOW being executed and inspectors are NOW back in Iraq is b/c there are 200,000 US Troops with the billion dollar toys effectively saying "you have no choice, you couldn't disarm on your own in the late 90's and we're tired of taking shit, disarm or get distroyed." A fair statement IMHO.
With Nations like N.Korea just trying to cause problems; Mind you a nation that doesn't have a spare volt to power a palm handheld, or food to keep its people alive (YES we are airdropping food to them as well), is building nukes to "shakedown" the asian community??? It is countries such as N.Korea that force the US to build $26 Billion dollar army combat systems to defend the rest of Aisa and Europe (minus the UK-they are pretty damn tough).
[begin Sarcasim_time] But if you would rather the US to give that $26B in small-bills to third-world nations, OK we'll do it, and at the same time pull our fleet of aircrat carries over to the UK, Spain, Italy (short list of our supportrs) and protect only them from evil dictatorships and let the rest of you all die horrible nuclear and chemical weapon deaths. [end Sarcasim_time]
All this idological talk about peace is nice but if you are typing on a computer, you should have the intelligence to realzie that the real world doesn't have people that want peace. As cyclic as economic markets are, so cyclic are the ideals of dictators.
In the 1940's you had Hitler, 1960's was the Cold War, and now you have Terrorists and distructive regiemes. I feel much better paying a few hundreds bucks for my health insurance and knowing my government is doing all that is necessary to ensure the future of free (as in beer and freedom) people will carry on.
How is this author? who the heck does he think he is imploying logic in the CD Copy right issue? Music labels have been paying lawyers insane amount of billable hours to destroy commen sense and logic and this author is blatently using his head for logic conclusions, bastard!
I have to agree. If I can hear it I can copy it. The lables miss the point on how insanely simple it is to get around any copy protection they do. Even DVD's are copy/decrypt/demacrovion able with simple software that can be run on the PC. If people want to put it on MP3 to play on their nomads and archos then they'll find a way. Remove that copy protection shit and use extra space to put on a few MP3's! At least with DVD we get a value for our $20, wtf has the muisic industry done for us? nothing hence why the public can give a shit less and lets remember who buys music, the public, as mass and as general as it gets. I am suprised how stubborn they are in adapting their business models to new technology.

just like they copy software.
But that is all irrealavent. Take any stores add to any competeing store and they will match it. Circuit City will beat it by 10%.
