8 months here with Vonage. I have one line, and set it up to dual ring to my cell plus the home line so even if someone calls the house I can still answer it if I'm out.
My phone bill was cut by about 2/3. My wife's family is in LA, and she calls several times a day. $100+ per month down to $37
And Larry McEvoy has bent over backwards to the point of breaking to enable non-BK users to push and pull patches without using BK so that the developers can avoid that entanglement.
It had a nonstandard windows interface that very closely mapped a stereo. That was one of Winamp's strengths. It's competitors often went wild and tossed any good UI design out the window entirely and went for "cool". They suffered as a result.
I've already started doing that and it's HUGELY successful.
Rather than go through and buildup a big list of subnets, I've written a few dozen regular expressions that match up to the reverse name lookups.
For example/ipt\.aol\.com/ matches any AOL dialup (There's no legitimate reason for us to allow an SMTP connection from an AOL dialup)
I use Postfix in front of our Exchange server to do this. Anyone interested in a more complete list is free to email me - slashdot-spamfiltering@bullnet.com

EMS HiTech has full GUI management systems for various databases. It's cross platform for windows and Linux.
MS SQL Manager
MySQL Manager
PostgreSQL Manager
InterBase / Firebird Manager
DBISAM Manager
They also do a suite of utilities for every day management of data across multiple servers. Again, mMost of these are cross-platform (Windows and Linux) with both GUI and CLI.
I use the PostgreSQL manager. ( I use Enterprise Manager for my MSDE and SQL 7 ). It now supports PostgreSQL 7.4, and includes a visual designer, stored procedure debugger, report generators (HTML, PDF) and my FAVORITE new feature, integrated SSH tunnelling for the database connetion.
Personally I think it's a big brouhaha over nothing on both sides. However, the facts have been glossed over.
The Chief Justice had the monument dropped in, in the middle of the night.
Not only his 8 peers in the state supreme court have unanimously disagreed with him, but the federal circuit has told him to remove it. The federal circuit outranks him. He knows it and he's refusing anyway.
It's a little scary when a Supreme Court Judge starts throwing out basic legal precedence rules (like Federal trumps state) and starts deciding that they can make their own judgements based on their religious beliefs.
This is EXACTLY what we should be afraid of, not a symbol of what we have to fight for.
And follow up by sending a sales inquiry to the SCO sales team, and expressing your displeasure over their business tactics when they follow up (See #3 in parent above).
Interesting -- despite their claims, SCO is still selling Linux products in their online store.
That's no justification for eliminating developer choice.
It's not everyone else's fault that you need a powerful machine to browse the web, and similarly other users need not be constrained beausse you see no value in multimedia and games.
You want to eat your cake, and have it to, but nobody else better want their own cake in your world.
That's a fallacious argument. You wouldn't lose any ability you currently have because you can continue to do things as you are now.
You would not gain the ability to run applications remotely that the author decide to write against the local display API. Now if the developer community feels that it is advantageous to them to target local-only apps and not support X any longer, well that's a different orthogonal issue, and that's the itch open source is intended to scratch.
There's nothing lost, there's only a gain for local-only users.
This is different in the way that LGP is already in for publishing the game when it is completed. They won't have to fight their way through publishing companies to find one that will find their project insteresting among the hundreds such companies must receive each month
Reread it more slowly. LGP is only reserving an option to publish it. They reserve the right to not publish it if it's not good enough.
The difference here being, that most companies who are intent on succeeding create a company with a goal and a plan in mind after doing some level of market research and having a cohesive plan.
How is this any different than if any random group sends you a game to publish from out of the blue?
This doesn't have any of the elements of a plan geared for success. It is a very nice sentiment, but the road to the poorhouse is paved with dotcoms who had nice ideas.
Because all of those naive soul's don't get picked up on slashdot.
This sounds like a horribly misguided way to manage a project. They want to put a team together, then pick a target? Achievement is not accomplished through democracy, it's achieved through leadership and focussed goal setting.
They've only decided on an ideology (released on Linux first), so in one sense they're behind all the other guys who post "let's make a game" because they don't even know what game they're making.
4. Survival is possible... space shuttle was relatively slow, already mostly throught the atmosphere the crew may have been able to bail out, and they do have parachutes.
You've been watching too much Star Drek.
No, Survival is Impossible. RELATIVELY slow is ***12,000 miles*** per hour at 200,000ft. There is no way they could get out at that speed.

Occam's razor.
They confiscated the batteries to steal them because nobody will dare complain.

Winamp is a terrible example.

You're comparing apples and oranges.
Correct.
There is no way either Jay, or ANY of those old foggies (and dead people) are permitted into MY hottub.

I had a portrait done of my wife before the birth of our son while we were in Las Vegas.
It's a 3D array of air bubbles in the crystal matrix that pretty clearly form the picture of the person or thing.
My wife's picture looks more like http://www.crystalixusa.com/pages/phocry3.cfm than the other pictures as far as image quality.
Well?
You need to do a little more research.

I saw Last Starighter when it came out (I was 16).
It was NEVER considered pixel perfect. It is cheesy now, it was cheesy then. Cheesy was just the best they could manage.

Why must it be either or?
Why not have a local desktop engine, and still keep low performance X for flexibility?
This binary thinking really frustrates me.

When you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
This will fail.
I could have sworn I read about this in the 80's in Omni Magazine.

You're expecting this out of editors who can't spell, don't check their facts, and who post duplicate articles constantly??
