One step closer to the Infinite Improbability Drive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_in_The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy#Infinite_Improbability_Drive)
I generally find that pirated books are of such bad quality (compared to their paper/official ebook counterparts) that they're usually not good for anything but reading those 2 paragraphs that google showed in the results to my query.
In most cases i've gone out and bought the book anyway, and usually in paperform, since no matter how big my screen gets, my IDE always seems to be bigger, and one should never underestimate the horizontal effect on ones neurons when learning new stuff.
In the cases where i haven't bought the book, it has usually been because the book was outdated, or not "good" enough, in which case i couldn't use it anyway.
Think of it as a "preview" of the book.
So don't think it's all bad, it may actually be boosting your book sales instead of "stealing your last penny".
And yes, there will always be people who will pirate anything, and aren't willing to buy stuff at all, but these people wouldn't buy your book/music/movie anyway, and most likely they won't even read/listen/watch all the junk they download.
Well well well. I can see this working well for Oracle - they use Java a great deal... and it should be good news for Sun's open source projects like Netbeans - which would, I think, be maintained under Oracle.
Perhaps we can finally see a Netbeans plugin for Eclipse.
20 hour days in a server room cooled to 18C, with nothing but coffee and sugar coated pastries to eat, and a 14400 baud modem ( and no, this was not 1995. It was around 2005)
If you get the 4801 it even has a 2.5" HD connector.
I have my 4801 running FreeBSD 5.2.1 (installed from official FreeBSD cd via nfs) with a 20GB 2.5" disk and and DLink DWL-640 for wireless. Only one problem though. Net throughput seems very low, and as far as i've been able to tell it's caused by interrupt flooding from the net driver:(
I don't know what you're talking about here. In a default Windows XP Pro installation, there should be no services you need to manage. Unless you plan on running a small IIS server or the like. But even that, that's pretty trivial (Add/Remove Components-->IIS) And contrary to popular belief, disabling all of your services except for a "bare minimum" won't give you amazingly higher frame rates (Ooh, you gained 1 3d mark! So fast!) Actually, the latest XP Service pack will reset some (i dont remember which) of your settings to default. The only one i remember right now is the Automatic update function which will be enabled. Pretty convinient when M$ also _sneak_ in a new license for Media Player. It was on/. the other day. Furthermore i dont like Micros~1 politics about just changing licenses between service releases. Like the time on hotmail.com where they chose to enable "We may sell your information to other companies" by default on existing users. New users would get a choise!
No, I _could_ go on, but I'm tired of _this_. People who hate Windows just because it's a Microsoft product. Slashdot seems to just orgasm any time it gets to report on something going against Microsoft. I get tired of it. Ohh.. i dont hate Windows because it's a Micros~1 product... i hate windows because it implies all kinds of (more or less) hidden restritions on me. Windows as an OS is ok.. I'm using it right now to reply to this... but using it doesnt mean i have to like it;D

Who cares about getting sober instantly ? I'd rather get instantly wasted. I'll take a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster over romulan ale any day!

Funny, i read "Next generation" and instantly thought of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pebble_Bed_Reactor :-(
Boy was i surprised
Sounds like a client i used to work for.

The site, and it's owner are both located outside the US.
So i guess the real question is, is the DMCA even valid outside the US ?
And can it be enforced outside the US ?

I wonder what happens when Novell (who still owns the UNIX patents) releases their own linux distribution ?
This would release any Novell/SCO patent protected code in Linux under the GPL.
Would this undermine SCO's claims ?
Well.. i guess you're in luck. NVIDIA is releasing native BSD drivers soon

Heh... keeps track of everything you do, and will even report it to M$ to sell it off to some direct marketing company.. ;)
