I was watching a television video game commentar quite recently. It mentioned that X-Box sales aren't high in Japan, but it also mentioned that X-Box games sell alot faster than similiar games on the PS2. Can anyone confirm this?
No experience with Kiwi, or even WebDAV on Apache, But I am using WebDAV on IIS 5 (Windows 2000 Server) to update my site using MacroMedia Dream Weaver UltraDev 4. WebDAV is a nice feature to have if your website is not database backed. Setup and security is straightforward as well.
I am not a snr admin by any sense of the word. I am, however, the main (well - only) techie geek in my office.
So I got my foot crushed by the door by saying "We can save a few bucks if we run our own email service for our staff by using free/gpl software". It also helps to have a rare boss that actually listens to your ideas, instead of shoving her own down your throat. She said "Sure, what have we got to loose" and off I was installing red hat on an old old old pentium server to set up email services. I haven't looked back since. It also helps if your organization has finite budgets to play with.
Alternatively, grab some old hardware (a 486 with two network cards will do) and run/share your internet/highspeed connection with your home network. Pick your OS of choice - xBSD or linux. I'll plug OpenBSD, because they have the best man pages. The community is whacked, but they still have the best man pages.
Did everyone forget that one? The NASA Acquisition Internet Service (NAIS) switched from Oracle to Mysql about 1 year ago. The MySQL announcement can be read here. MySQL's news page also has highlights of many companies who have made the switch.
We had this one OEM computer case, building a machine for a client. So we put the parts in, and the machine wouldn't fire up. So we swapped out everything, from the floppy drive to the mainboard to the powersupply to the powercord. It still refused to operate.
So we threw that case aside, took all of the parts and put them into a different case - the machine worked no problem.
We then put in the discount isle, and was someone bought it. We didn't here from them again.
This is just plain stupid. I've used Mozilla for months, even when they adjusted hotmail it displays just fine in both Konquerer and Mozilla.
Now they change msn to launch xp, but the same silly little tabs and colour scheme used in hotmail just don't quite line up in this new msn. What gives? Can't the hotmail team teach the msn team on cross-browser compatibility?
-- not that it really matters to me, I don't use msn anyway ---
Why the heck can't they make these things screens red?? If the error message is green, where exactly are you supposed to go after acknoledging the error? Where's the consistency?

I personally think the problem lies marketing style. They are trying to sell internet appliances to the wrong people!

Problably because there has been a focus on security in bsd, specifically OpenBSD. Why re-invent the wheel? Another reason might be that Linux has greater market share than the BSDs.

I thought the most secure OS was Windows 95. With NIC support like that nobody should be able to connect to your computer.
Wrong. The most secure OS in the world is the one that you cannot load onto a computer. So I use the next best thing: OpenBSD.
Also, in a spirit closer to open source:

Add a few more years after it hits Debian and I'll find in OpenBSD.
The way I see it, there is nothing really that needs to be emulated. Unless X-Box specs have changed, its still a Pentium ]I[ (x86 arch).
All you should just have to is create a wrapper to translate os/vid/sound calls.
So? Its in the door at nasa now, and who knows -- mysql could be considered for other functions as well.

Who knows? Could have been a happy customer
OK, now I am really annoyed. They put this stupid browser checking feature into hotmail as well.
I suppose it serves me right for using a microsoft product.

You mean Anti-terrorist terrorists?Not. You just can't see them because they happen to be firewalls.
The Geocrawler mail-list archive of OpenBSD misc has nothing but doubled from 1996~2000.
Speaking of which, is Geocrawler out of business? there are no messages showing up for September...

Didn't anyone read? It said Index of Initial Comments.
Isn't there a good chance that there are more comments? Did anyone stop to think that the comments/list itself might be moderated?

Jesus Christ. Aren't there more important crimes that deserve to be prosecuted?
Perhaps not. But if we are stuck sucking on butt of the DMCA - why shouldn't we use it to protect our own privacy??
