Support for both CIFS and NFS in an integrated fashion, easily enabling interoperability between UNIX and Windows-based networks.
Linux has Support for CIFS but only via Samba, not as an integrated, tested solution. They do not even mention the excellent Linux support for NFS. Also, they talk about how Windows has Integrated support for Windows NT®, FTP, HTTP, Appletalk, and Novell environments How does supporting HTTP or FTP make them so special?!?!?! I admit that Linux needs additional software for NT, Appletalk, and Novell file access, but most distros, if they are AT ALL meant to be used as a server, at least have HTTP and FTP! Many even have SAMBA and Netatalk.
Better business alignment with straightforward licensing and clarity of intellectual property ownership.
STRAIGHTFORWARD LICENSING? CLARITY of IP OWNERSHIP?!?! I find the GPL to be more straightforward than any MS licence I have read, but they really are right about the IP ownership. "All your IP are belong to us" is pretty clear!
In the book, after they cross the river in the ferry, they stop at Frodo's new house in Crickhollow, where he was to wait for Gandalf. This is where Sam reveals that there was a conspiracy, and that Merry and Pippin will be coming with them. Because the black riders are after them, they decide to leave that night, going through a hedge into a forest, where the next day (i think) they decide to follow a river, and find an old willow tree (Old Man Willow.) What they don't know, is that the tree is not an ordinary tree, but rather is somewhat "awake." The tree swollows some members of the party (I do not remember who) in cracks when they lean against it to rest. Just then, an old man comes along, named Tom Bombadil, who is the master of the forest, and orders Old Man Willow to let them go. He is not really a man, but a supernatural being of some kind, maybe a Maia (the Balrog was a Maia before becoming evil, as was Sauron IIRC from reading the Silmarilion.) Anyway, they stay with Tom Bombadil for a while at his house, with his wife Goldberry, then set out across the barrow-mounds to Bree. In the barrow-mounds, they get separated, and trapped by a wight, and Tom Bombadil saves them. He then escorts them to as close to Bree as he can get w/o leaving his domain. They meet "Strider" (aka Aragorn, The Dunadain, Elessar, etc) in Bree.
Couldnt they just look for tags and remove them and their contents? I would think that would work better. Plus, doesnt their changing of "javascript" to "java-script", "vbscript" to "vb-script" etc prevent javascript and vbscript from running in the page? All their changing seems unnesicary considering some of the things they change:
This really just illustrates a point...
if he couldn't find it, then the 'manual' wasn't clear enough on how to go about doing 'simple things' Which in my mind is biggest difficulty with linux.
Maybe the problem is that people do not read manuals? I answer simple questions like this for people all the time. There are problems like this in windows too. I have had to tell people how to change resolution in windows on a regular basis.
What could possibly be closer to standard than MP3? It's the de facto standard of digital music these days.
The player does not use the mp3 format. If you read the article it says "The L7HD stores audio in Sony's own Atrac3 format rather than the more common MP3 format." so it neither uses mp3 or Ogg Vorbis.
Yech perk is the worst method of brewing coffee. The best coffee I have had is made in an espresso maker. French press is pretty good too, but perk is just... EEEW. No thin, watery, bitter coffee for me. I do agree that drip, although consistent, isnt all that good.
Actually, the QWERTY layout was designed so that people when typing would alternate between one side of the keyboard and the other as much as possible, making it more likely that if they hit two keys too fast, they would be as far apart as possible. However, DVORAK acrually does that better (alternating hands) and allows for people to type somewhat faster due to more common letters requiring less movement of the fingers. I, however, am somewhat skeptical about HOW MUCH faster it would allow you to type, and do not belive that the slight gain in speed would be worth re-learning how to type.
ok, tell me how I can quickly, using menus and a mouse, find every file in the current directory and all sub-directories named bk??ch??.htm and rename them to book??_chapter??.html faster than with a command line?
I have seen with a few products (my parents' new cell phones being one) that they come with TWO manuals. The first manual, a short 15 page booklet, had info about how to add contacts, dial a number, set up shortcuts, change the ringer, etc. The second manual was more like 70 pages, and explained how a cell phone network works, etc.
I almost never use caps lock unless I am typing whole sentances in caps (not often). For USA I just use lshift+U lshift+S lshift+A. Its not "correct" but it works better for me than hitting caps lock. I too often accidentally hit caps lock anyway.
Even better: The thermite is in the hard drive with the sensitive data in it. If the drive is not accessed with a certain access key (modified firmware is required) the thermite will ignite, destroying the platters.
If you have a fixed IP, or even a dynamic DNS thing, just have it send piles of data about whatever network it is attatched to back to your server or whatever. Someone attatches it to the net, and you immedately have a log of ip, tracert, etc back to your server.
Uh,really? I would think you could just destroy the tape. Or even just run it through one of those de/re-magnatizer things for screwdrivers, etc. Burn the tape, run it through a shredder of some sort, or even just cut it into really small bits, or just set up something that would run the whole tape across a belt sander or something. I can think of any number of ways to erase a tape, although it would be useless afterwards.
(New York Times Free bla bla - I don't feel like registering)
heh do what I did. Create a new Yahoo or Hotmail account using fake info, and use it for registering for stuff like this. Just let it fill up with spam. Its not your regular email
Nope. I still have to download the subject, etc. It still uses some of my bandwidth, just not very much. Also, I have not seen any free email services (nor even my ISP) that offer IMAP support.
If MY connection gets capped, I will complain every time I get an unwanted email. If I spend 20kiB of my download limit downloading an unwanted email, I better get that 20kiB back, or the sender better PAY me for the bandwidth they used by sending me a message. If each email I get costs me money, it should be illegal for people to send me unsolicited emails. (Hey, unsolicited faxes are illegal IIRC)
This rules! Now that they keep releasing these new devices with colour, mp3 players, and so on, I might be able to get an older device for next to nothing! A palm V for $50 would be nice...
Slashdot Mirror
They will probably call it OS XI
hmm it didnt take my quotation marks. The following parts should be in quotes:
Support for CIFS but only via Samba, not as an integrated, tested solution.
and
Integrated support for Windows NT®, FTP, HTTP, Appletalk, and Novell environments
Yeah they even talk about how MS has

Nope. Well sorta. It seems they are moving to a new server, probably because the old one got fried by the /. effect.

What I have seen more often (instead of the 00-90 die) is people using just two different colour d10s. I.e. the green die is 1s, the red die is 10s.
