Yeah, I hate those sites. I have made a few web pages, and, suprize suprize, its not that hard to make it look good in IE and Mozilla, and still look OK in Netscape 4.x. As a matter of fact, if you make the page work in Mozilla, IE can usually handle it. I usually can get by with testing primarily in Mozilla and a little in NS4.
Well, its gone now @ 30 minutes, so your poll doesnt have the correct answer (i did access it about 5 minutes ago, so i know it wasnt down then, but i just tried a few times and get a connection refused)
I think they dont really care HOW it is broken into, they just want in. They dont care if you pick the lock or bash the door down, as long as they get their data.
FINALLY someone who doesnt whine about how hard slack is to install. I found it quite simple. It looks scary at first cause its not all pretty and graphical, but its basically self explanatory.
heh...
They are a LOT worse than regular keyboards, and no, you probably cannot type as fast as you WANT too, but I can still type faster than I can write (which is not saying much)
If Comcast starts charging me by amount downloaded per month, or even just limits me to a cetain amount, I will attempt to sue spammers based on the amount of bandwidth I end up using to download their crap. That will cost per email. Class action anyone?
Hmm...
How does this look? SuSE Linux Groupware Server with Lotus Domino
I dunno, but it looks like this is a pretty good system. The MAJOR problem with exchange is its price. Every copy I have seen sold comes with limited client licences. You STILL need to buy software for the clients, even though you already paid for a limited number up front. Every time you want to connect more clients, you have to purchace both client software and a client licence. They (MS) charge you out the nose TWICE for just letting people share a calender and email. All this still has to run on a Microsoft server OS, which in itself costs another $1000 (for only 5 client licences) which wont even run on older hardware.
Another thing: can you tell me an easy way to get DNS, file/printer sharing, NAT, firewall and DHCP client/server on a Pentium 83MHz (overdrive for 486 mobo) system using MS software? That works reliably? I set it up in a couple of hours with Linux. It was a great learning experiance. I learned how to configure BIND, Samba, DHCPd, IPTables, etc. If Linux had a good groupware server, that would be great, because it would mean that people dont need to have an MS server at all. From what I have seen around the web, Linux can basically do just about anything an MS server can do, except Exchange. If there was a good Linux alternative, Linux could finish taking over the server market. It looks like Domino is pretty promising. It just needs a bit more publicity. (oh, I found it with a quick google search in case you were wondering)
Problem is, its overpriced and bloated. If you spent a little time you could do the same thing on a dual Pentium Pro 200 system for about $300 using Linux. We just are trying to figure out a way to take out the "spend a little time" part. Sorry, but I dont think that a couple hours of time is worth $5000*(users/10) [or whatever MS charges for exchange server now]
I have something like that. Some of the old PC games I have (the kind that say "True VGA Colour" on them) have a "keyboard overlay." Unfortunately, it doesnt fit on my stupid Dell keyboard with windows keys.
WOW! An FP that doesnt say FP!
Doesnt MS make a smaller version of their controller? I thought I saw something like that at a store. (No, it was NOT third party)

Actually, it does NOT impose restrictions. It takes away some restrictions (from standard copyright law) and leaves some in. Public domain removes all restrictions, GPL removes SOME restrictions, MS EULA adds MANY restrictions.
What about the original SimCity? That was a very fun game. Also, what ever happened to SimEarth? I havent seen it in a long time. It was one of their better games. Also, I only got to play a demo of SimTower, and never have seen a full version ANYWHERE.
My history teacher gave a good example of this:
Sue and John work in a factory. Sue has two children at home, while John has none. Since Sue has two children, she cannot work for as long each day as John, because she must take care of her children. Because of this, Sue works a five hour day, and John works an eight hour day. However, at the end of each week, Sue recives 2.5 times the amount of money as John, because she must support two children.
Hmm...
How hard would it be for us? We did it before...
I wonder if we could just use a space shuttle? With enough fuel, it could probably break orbit and get to the moon, and they have plenty of oxygen, as they stay up there for weeks. Keep some sort of landing craft in the cargo bay, land it on the moon, have most of it stay behind, forming a base, when they leave. Shouldnt be to hard, or even all that expensive (relatively) for the U.S.
Well, its fine for that kind of stuff, but a Pentium 75 with that much hard drive space just sounds funny.
Myself, I use (for a DNS and NAT server, plus a few other basic things) a Pentium Overdrive 83MHz. It fits in a 486 mobo, and i put in 40 megs of ram and a 4 gig hard drive. My Pentium 100 system is in the process of being made into an mp3 jukebox.
Hmm I wonder...
If my ISP starts capping bandwidth, can I sue spammers for using up that bandwidth? Since I would be paying for a limited amount of service, and downloading emails uses that service, I should not have to recive unsolicited emails, yes?
lol
THAT is overkill for a Pentium 75. By the time I filled up the 4 gig drive, I had a new computer anyway. When I ran windows on that computer, I had to partition the 4 gig drive in half, and later, the second half got filled with Linux. I got sick of using such a slow computer with Linux, so when I put a nice 60 gig drive in my pIII 450, I gave half of that to Linux as well.

hmm it seems the clock on my computer is somewhat innacurate. ATM it says 12:00 lol. Make that 14 minutes rather than 30 minutes.

Hmm... I tried a friend's keyboard for his iPaq. I could type faster than I can write with pencil )

243 fps? My monitor can only do 85Hz, so whats the point of that?

Of course it is.
That's the display department!

How the hell is this redundant?!?!?! The next top level post is redundant, not this one!
Look on pricewatch. You can get 20 gig drives for $40-$50. If you could find a 5 gig drive, it might cost you all of $15.
lol

Get a new hard drive. They arent that expensive. Even my pentium 100 got a 4 gig put in there. See if you can get a used 2 gig drive or something.
