How about a nice 2 or 4-yr subscription to 2600? I never could afford it in college, since I needed to save up for beer and such. Only got it when i purchased the books, if one was on the stands at that time.
Perhaps that's what they mean by "Even more important, who is accountable?" I am guessing that the costs are support costs to (ostensibly) RedHat, so that they can, indeed, call someone when it breaks.
Seems to me this article wasn't very well written, you have to read between the lines a lot. I'd like to know more about how they're implementing it: distribution, updates, standard image, etc
Isn't that what this site is for? I like to be able to choose webpages (which will include howtos, FAQs, etc) from news discussions. Sometimes, as the other posters have said, I tend to know that one type of search will yield better results, and it's nice to have that kind of control.
Wait until you get the 2nd generation with Dana Stirling in it. I downloaded a couple of those from Gnutella the other day and that one is truly campy. I think they all get better, though. Macross gets much better around ep 18 where Fokker dies.
Poor Roy.
Interesting that one of the X-files reruns aired last night (at least in San Francisco) was the one about migrant workers and an enzyme that acted as a super-catalyst for Fungal growth.
Better rip all your CDs to mp3 so you have a backup when this baby hits!
I don't really know, but I would guess that ISPs (especially the smaller ones) don't really have the money for the upgrades to their networking equipment and buy some nice new routers from Juniper Networks.
I would be willing to believe that many of them just aren't seeing the profit margin they'd like to.
Compaq is improbving upon its Remote Lights-out Board technology, so that it can be controlled via Compaq iPaq. I haven't read many details, but the next release of their RILOE firmware (due out early Feb, 2001) is supposed to have a preview of this option. It will be interesting to see, and could prove quite useful, especially when deploying machines without a console or KVM attached.
Didn't PS/2s do this way back in the day? I seem to remember having an old Model 57 that reported an error in memory and then went happily on its way, using less RAM.
maybe?
Is that just *anyone* installing *any* OS is a major security risk. In any environment where security is a major issue, allowing all users to have root or administrator access can be a major threat. Think of all the tools one can run but require root or administrator level permissions to install or use! Once someone has that kind of access on the network, they can gather a lot of information, and conceivably cause a lot of havoc. Something to think about....
One of these was also posted in Wired Magazine last month (the one with the US flag done in text on the cover)
It talked about the different frequencies as well as differences between the left and right side of your head.
Well, maybe some of the crappy ones at the grocery store. But any decent book is going to be published by Vintage International is going to run $10 to $16. Add to that the fact an early release is going to be in Hardback format, which will usually run something in the neighborhood of $20, and I think $10 isn't bad.
I love the Southpark reference in there, nice job, Jon! I thought it to start a little slowly, but once you started, you really got going on it, I think I'll have to traipse on over to an online bookstore and get myself a copy of this.
Three out of the six people I watched the SuperBowl with thought this was also the best, and two of them were out of the bar when it was run. But my question was: What was the commercial for? None of us could remember what they were advertising. Probably a bad commercial in that respect, but worlds above the others in everything else.
Exactly. If they have just done this, I would assume at least 6months before it comes to market. In that time, DVD encoder cards will most likely be very affordable. Now this company has just created a cheaper way for us to get the movies we all love. Now, not everyone is technically savvy as your common/. user, but I would think these people would just buy the real DVD rather than a degrading one. I see this new invention going the way of the dinosaur even fast than DivX did.

Why do this? I am in complete agreement with you...for now. But what about 3 years from now when a handheld is as powerful as a pentium computer? Sure, Palm OS 6 might be created to take advantage of this new power, but what if there is already a micro-OS based on a very powerful and stable kernal meant for larger systems? As our handhelds become more powreful, we are going to demand more from them. Imagine hotdocking your palm-sized computer into a cradle attached to a full-size keyboard, mouse, and monitor. All of a sudden you have a computer that is at once a desktop and can fit in your pocket! I don't think any of this is too far-fetched. If anything, we just need to make sure we don't limit ourselves like we did in '80 thinking that we'd never need more that 640K of RAM! Well, my palm has 4meg and it's smaller than the chips that made up the 256K in my original IBM PC
I just finished reading (or re-reading, can't really remember) The Hacker Crackdown by Bruce Sterling. Since it was written in the early 90s and deals almost exclusively with BBSs, it's a good Nostalgia time.

I have this problem as well. Cannot hit them from either my ISP of from work. Any ideas?

Use TweakUI's paranoia tab and have it clear all that type of stuff out when you log out. This should alleviate the problem.
