For sure....I have one of the newer Intuos 4x5 mentioned above. I am about 95% programmer, and have merely dabbled in photo retouching and graphical development, but I have been extremely pleased with the new tablet. I still admit I spend most of my time in 'doze at home, but I have found the tablet support to be adequate, it is probably better than that, I just haven't needed it.
Ok, so now I have another question, for you BeOS users in the crowds, is there support for the tablets in Be?? How far along is it? and if it isn't, is there a project to start??
Light weight, journalism, and linux are a contradiction in terms......Our company has tried to write instruction manuals for the most ignorant internet user who is trying to do something on the web that requires simply filling out forms and clicking buttons, not unlike how to use/. As a technical person I wrote the basic instructions which came out to a rather lengthy 11 pages, by the time the "writer" got done with it, it was 78 PAGES LONG!!!
They aren't getting as much support these days, but I still like the newsgroups.....don't know something, ask someone!
another successful/. effect.......can't seem to load the site.
I tend to agree with the earlier poster that said you can't keep up, though really you can't keep up in history regardless....unless you severly narrow the topic so far that the only people that would then care are PhDs. in the field.......
Sounds like something that would be neat to look at, just as long as the mass media and the general public don't read through it and think that becasue they see the word Apache they should invest their life savings in a company called BuildYourOwnWebServerToPutOnTheMoon.com who just IPO'd and jumped into record territory.
From what we have found just removing the necessity to use a mouse to run any application, from database management tools, to FTP clients is enough to slow us down such that we are faster under linux. Not to mention that we can code a web app in perl with mysql way faster than VBScript and SQL, that may be because we are more used to it, but somehow I doubt that. Not to mention the fact that we are more used to it, because it was easier to learn 3 years ago (and was around for cheap) than to pick up related MS technology. As to the "battle" between M$ and Linux, I think that high bandwidth is the only weapon that will effectively make Linux succeed. As high bandwidth becomes very widely accessible (no pun intended) people will want to run their own ftp servers, mail servers, web servers, dns, etc. This will increase the call for stable, reliable services at home that run constantly. ANd combined with this need is the low cost necessity. Why pay $5000 for hardware and software (IIS, SQL, NT, etc.) when you can get it all free for Linux, chalk up a $1000 server system and get ready to roll.......We need high bandwidth! (not to mention I wnat to be able to download an mp3 in less than 45 minutes at home:-)
...if it's what's for dinner, we better increase spending in the "Fighting Hunger" campaigns.....there has been a lot of talk of Nano this and that lately though.....Want to see something not so Nano? check out Have-a-brew.com (sorry for the shameless plug)
This is another article like all the rest posted on slashdot about people being able to do surveillance on anyone else at anytime....Spooky. ALso interesting that their seems to be trend (or not) where scientific discovery starts with an old saying, "Fly on the wall for just one day"....of course I would imagine the Porn industry will love this new way of gettting live video feeds........
Bandwidth not so a plenty...

VDSL Demoed

· Score: 3
...I am glad to hear things like this are going to be demoed and such. ANd it is great that it will roll out by 2001, but the fact that I have no options for highbandwidth period and live in a fairly populated (no not New York, or S.F. or Dallas) but this is a silly subject to get excited about until someone comes out and says yes you to can have high bandwidth, and actually mean people who live in cities with under 1 million people. Until that day I will only hope, and be unimpressed.
...Is there such a thing for Linux in general as well? Or for one particular port/architecture? Seems like a similar thing could be needed in other places, or maybe one general one for all open source OSES.....
I run Kmysql to connect to Mysql, but I believe it supports plugins to connect to oracle among other database engines. It is still early in development but seemed to be pretty clean when I ran it.
..We run a similar technology on our very large and extensive e-commerce solution which might be a viable competitor to Amazon and B&N....uh or something....so is it really one click technology that is copyrighted/patented/trademarked (whatever) is it the cookies. Because that is basically all it is doing anyways right? I think I will patent the one click get your email idea and make millions sueing someone........
Damn it now that all of this is coming out I have to get a better video card, of course the problem is why get a PCI when AGP is out, of course that means I need to get a AGP motherboard, which naturally means I need new memory and chip since I am running EDO Simms and a wimpy cyrix 200!! And given that memory ain't as cheap as candy anymore, looks like I am screwed....Damn the architecture changes!!!
Seems like the open source model means that a lot of this can be avoided, but it also means that the user is going to have to know more to use the system, which may be good, but will keep Linux from being a true desktop (or general public desktop) solution.
Open source business model is a contradiction in terms. It would be possible to have a business, selling or marketing or supporting, etc. an open product (i.e. Redhat, Caldera, etc.) but to have an open business model goes against the whole capitalist notions, and because that foundation is not there, won't work. Esseentially that is at the heart of socialism, communism, etc. If you want to look for a good example of this, the best in this country is the US govt. No I am not some conspiracy theorist, but think about it, anyone can join, anyone can try and run it, anyone can work for it, etc. And while it is probably the largest organization in this country (other than maybe the NRA or the WWF) it is also the most in debt, and has to be able to make its own money to function! This will not work in the business community, it never has and never will. Seriously consider what you are thinking from an abstract view before thinking about whether it shoud be a co-op or a corporation, etc....there are underlying issues that should be explored way before income distribution should even be thought about.........
I am not much of a sound guru (at all actually) but I went with the SB Live because of its overall quality in general. With my dual boot, most of my sound use is in Windows anyway. What discouraged me was the driver situation, Creative is not open sourcing the specs for this card, and they claim to be doing development of the driver, but I am not sure how far along they are. ALSA seems to have blacklisted this card and Creative because of their stance on OPen Source, which while I understand, may not be the best position for ALSA...Rather than dropping all communication, they should be putting even more pressure on creative to come out with a good driver, so that in the future either Creative will know do write a good driver, or they will know the pressure is coming and will decide to open source it. Sound support is definitely something that will have to get better if Linux is to become a viable desktop solution.
Maybe everyone should know about it.....Little thing happened here in america a while back.....little disease called TB wiped out a whole lot of the population and would have done more damage. Back then all the people with it were locked in a cave, until either they sadly died, or they got better. Its called a quarantine (sp?), and despite the fact that it is cold hearted, maybe it is time for one infected part of the population to suck it up and realize that maybe for the good of humanity (if there is such a thing) a similar resolution ought to be made. It sucks yes, and know one wants to have to use it, but it is still the best and only means of fighting something that is not good either.....making a big quilt isn't helping all that much...............flame away, but before you do realize the consequences.......
In the cases you mentioned would a clinical trial be the most appropriate action? Seems like if you were to deduce this type of information from the actual population taking the drug rather than the sample you would have to use in the clinical trial your results are unlikely to be in the correct direction. Besides drugs already go through extensive tests, and numerous trials.....this is real world application, rather than tests, if the affects are bad in the real world, why go back to testing the same thing, seems like that should be enough proof that something needs to be changed, then go through testing, then back to the real world application. Problem with this of course is that it takes time, money, and is quite tedious.......but if it leads to better and safer drugs/procedures then maybe it needs to be explored.............
But surely that doesn't make any business sense.....you can't make money from an open source model, haven't you read all of the articles on/.:-) uh, or something........
And is AOL really to blame. I mean is AOL's problem have anything to do with their methods, or is just there sheer size? Most ISP's have holes I am sure, but if there isn't enough exposure for them then they wouldn't have to worry, and their certainly wouldn't be any news articles posted. Keeping this in mind is there really any reason for users to be unhappy with their service from AOL? And I am sure AOL has the proper disclaimers in place......Besides getting free hours on AOL isn't real hard, and who wants to read my email anyways??
of course I thought I remembered learning in elementary school that insects have 6 legs and spiders have 8? Or has that changed in the 15 years since I was a second grader?
Well we all already know that LCD screens glow something like 50% brighter in bad computer movies, does this mean they will have a better "voice" or louder one, or something? Watch out Celine Dion......ha!
Our company has made a conserted (sp?) effort to stay up with the Palm Technology, etc. We are mainly a web development/marketing/consulting firm, do you think this type of content will really start to be a new wave? Or will it be about as popular as java has become, that is neat for some navigational applets and to crash my browser, but nothing like for what it was intended? We even enabled one of sites for the Palm VII, but seems like most reaction was, wow that is neat, to bad I don't have one (or want to spend the money for one)....

I am sure we won't have to worry about this getting out of hand, because M$ will probably buy all of the fertile land in the Northern Hemisphere.
