I still cringe every time I overhear somebody asking for help with their Linux problems, and the first thing out of the "guru's" mouth is, "Which version of Linux are you using?" Not kernel version, not software versions -- Linux version.
And what is the problem with this? Wouldn't a perfectly good answer be "I am using Red Hat 7.2" or "I use Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 (`potato')". These are "versions of Linux", yeah, they are "distributions", but they are versions too. There are lots of versions out there, and the "guru" should certainly find out what it is that they are helping with.
I hope that these New Mexico chimps aren't forced to move from their comfy homes in NM and go to Florida. I'm sure PETA will be up in arms over this! Oh, the inhumanity!
Some thing may indeed be switchable, but companies that want to excercise their "IP" could simple make it a "you want what we have, then you have to turn it on". Negating the difference between "opt-in" and "opt-out".
Uh, yeah, and your point is? Someone who owns the content can rightly choose to require DRM-ish stuff to be enabled in order to "consume" their content. If you don't like that, then you don't have to "consume" it. You are free to choose what you want to enable, they are free to distribute as they want to, everybody's happy 8^)
The supplied link leads to a Sony-page with a $349 (USD) price tag. I'm not sure that is "pricey". If it really reads/writes all of the formats, then this is just what many people are waiting for, at a decent price.
Plus, this drive may be so new that they have tested it with high-speed media, and it will not burst into flames 8^)
Being from Sony, though, I would be cautions about any DRM features that the drive may have hidden deep inside that firmware...
Another good one about how a project evolves into a "death-march", but it's probably preaching to the choir here.
The tragedy is that those who most desperately need to learn the lesson presented here (that would be the uninformed, inflexible PHBs) will never read this kind of article, or if they do they will never realize that we're talking about you, here! It's just amazing how many technology "managers" cannot comprehend the silliness of mandating a schedule and a feature set. You might get it by then, but it will be a piece of #@%$.
They ended up having to include an interperater/emulator for 68k apps in later versions of Mac0S.
Actually, support for 68K applications was in MacOS from day one of the PowerPC launch. In fact, device drivers had to be written in 68K, so the whole device system was run through the emulator. I was writing a lot of Mac device drivers in those days...
An installation guide for the Tomcat novice?

Tomcat 4.1.10 Released

Please, a word from the wise about the "best" information available to get me up and running with Tomcat on RedHat 7.3
The article says "Microsoft, Intel, and 200 other companies...". I sure hope that AMD is not going along with this troubled consortium. If Intel decides to build all of its processors in some fashion that lets the peecee makers control whatever we do with our machines, then we need other makers like AMD to build the alternative machines that play the way the owner of the machine wants it to.
Apple, as well, was not specifically mentioned as a player. With their track record, it is doubtful that they would be involved with these scoundrels.
Also, because he was such a ground-breaking pioneer, at a time when a guy with a soldering iron & his brain could come up with something really innovative. The way that he squeezed every last bit of functionality from the circuits that he had to work with at the time is truly an example of Edison's "99% perspiration".
Pardon my pessimism, but you will never get enough geeks in the door to pay the bills. This plan is doomed to failure, so I suggest an alternative: just send all of the investors' money directly to me. The result will be just the same, in that they will lose all of their money. This way, they will be helping my kids to eat!
Somebody mod this one up! Just try to find something really useful in most online documentation, or information on that feature that you really want to use. Sometimes it is just impossible, but like the parent says, the help file will tell you how to click "Close" to close your document.
An instructor in a classroom is pointing to a diagram of a simple toggle switch, with one side labeled "on", and the other side "off". One student has his hand raised and is asking "Can we go over that again?"

I can't believe that this idiotic^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hpost got modded up.
Microsoft has nothing to do with MacOS X, and no, Microsoft does not own 51% of Apple.
Note to moderators: the parent post is a "Troll", not interesting, insightful, or anything positive...
Am I the only one that first read this as "What the dot-Net is doing to you"?
not trolling, just warped humor...

It looks to be an interesting movie, anyone know if it will play in Columbus (Ohio, of course 8^)?

I see "sponsorship messages" on there all day long...
Well, there's more than coolnes factor here. See, there are actual games that I own on the Dreamcast that use the BBA for online play, etc.
Umm, no, that was an attempt at "humor". See, a few months ago, these things were being auctioned off at $150+.
I paid Lik-Sang $120 + high shipping charges about 6 months ago to get one! And now, nobody on eBay is going to give me $150 for the thing!

That's why I love to read these interviews.

The link on Borland's page to download kylix is broken (as of 9:30 PM EDT). No party for me yet...

I can bring equivalent development skills to the table. You can figure out how to e-mail me at www.milbaugh.com

I specialize in device drivers ad reverse engineering. If you need any help, just let me know.
Perhaps he does not even have a Linux box at work?
This reminds me of a very funny Far Side cartoon:
