What is sad is that no one (?) aparantly was upset by SCO (yes. this was a buillshit astroturf by SCO, not "free speech by SCO employees") pointing a finger at the Linux community, calling us thieves and pirates.
And the protesters just "have a few good laugh" with McBride. What kind of protest is that? Did anyone actually stand up for the Linux community? I'm not talking about getting violent here, but protesters should at least try to refrain from carrying around their bullshit signs, even as a JOKE.:(
I'm not a thief or pirate or communist, and the sign with Tux making a nazi greeting saying "ya vol" (javohl) is extremely offending to me, and probably a whole bunch of other people around the world.
you'd dump his connection as a matter of practice, and leave a note on his seat
(BOFH, is that you?!)
There are nicer ways of educating users, besides I might have a very good reason to leave a TCP connection up when I go home. I never log out from my workstation, I just lock it and go. Why not enforce auto locking after n minutes of inactivity, instead of being a counter-productive asshole and cut all connections just to "educate people"?

Von Neumann machine:
(pronounced von noi-man) An early computer created by Hungarian mathematician John von Neumann (1903-1957). It included three components used by most computers today: a CPU; a slow-to-access storage area, like a hard drive ; and secondary fast-access memory (RAM ). The machines stored instructions as binary values (creating the stored program concept) and executed instructions sequentially - the processor fetched instructions one at a time and processed them. Today "von Neumann architecture" often refers to the sequential nature of computers based on this model.
Not so fast there. The question was about setting up the machine to take it's address from DHCP, not to renew it's IP when it's already set up for DHCP.
So, first you do:
Right-click network icon-->Properties-->Scroll to TCP/IP-->Properties-->Set for DHCP-->Lose all manual settings-->Get irritated because you need to write all that shit again when/if you want to set it back on static ip. Then you'r all set.
If NT4 then reboot.
The point is not that it's particulary hard to do though, but that it's at least as easy to do it on a linux box.
So instead they're now dependent on the whims of a bunch of high school kids who only answer to their parents?
There are plenty of companies (not run by highschool kids) to chose among if you go with linux and open source, and linux was never a high school project to begin with.
FYI, the old "bunch of highschool kids" argument is kinda obsolete.
I personally think that MS should drop Europe. Not sell to 'em at all. After Europeans are forced to spend a bit of time at the Bash prompt
Ah, right. Like the europeans aren't forced to spend anything with MS. Ignoring the fact that a GUI is not an MS-only feature, you shouldn't assume that everybody else is that far up the ass of Bill Gates as yourself, that they can't live without him.
More and more european governments, schools and other institutions are considering (or have already implemented) the opensource alternative. Not only of economic reasons, but because more and more people realizes how unreasonable it is for an european government institution to be so dependant of an american monopolistic company like MS.
But you are right in one thing. I spent 8 years with bash prompts, and I will happily shut the fuck up the day MS disappears from Europe.
Are you guys going to actually list some useful functions of P2P or do I have to just wait for the brochure to be faxed?
Maybe you should try to find out more about it on your own, dude....if youre too lazy RTFM yourself, then I guess you have to take his word for it.
Snipers generally don't kick ass (except for the few very skilled ones). Sniper bullets are easily avoided by using translocator and/or dodging frequently.
Shock rifle whores (==players who can do the famous shock-combo while running) kick ass though.:)
OpenBSD installs are secure by default, whereas most other OSes (including Linux) aim to be featureful by default.
You know, there are quite a number of Linux distro's out there, most of them have their own default security. Some aim to be featureful, others are well locked down by default.
I think it's wrong to say that Linux is 'featureful and insecure by default' since that highly depends on what distribution you're installing, not the kernel itself.
Even a "crappy" admin who installs a vanilla OpenBSD is in a better position than one who installs a vanilla Linux
By your own logic we would need to trash the entire system simply because we jali innocents 1% of the time.
But there's a difference between 1% innocent jailed people and 1% innocent people put to death. A person sent to jail and then proven innocent can have his/hers sentence cancelled, and receive compensation for the mistake.
But what do you do about a person that is put to death by the state and then proven innocent? One case is one too many. Really.
I, for one, would be very upset if I were one of the 1% wrongly accused and sentenced to death, but if they got rid of the other 99% then I might be a little more forgiving.
Nice, but with CD-RW and DVD-RW drives, the problem you encounter is that you must blank ALL the media (or a large block of it) to reuse it.
I would think that no matter how fast of a phase change they can manage, they're still going to have a lot of delay doing the blanking.
But they don't use the same technology (laser) as in CD-RW/DVD-RAM optical disks but a transistor for every single data bit. That would mean that they do not need to blank the entire ram (or entire blocks of it) to reuse it.
Or did i miss something in the technical description of the OUM, where they also mention that every single bit can be uniquely addressed for read and write?
Lawyers send me threatening letter, again saying they'll sue if I don't take down the site. Fine, I take it down, and replace it with a link to your site, which is now running the same pages. Wouldn't it be more effective to just move the dialectizer outside US? If I would mirror this guy's dialectizer engine with it's full functionality, the lawyers of Bank of America could threaten me until hell freezes, and I would just fart in their general direction. They wouldn't have the same legal freedom to harass people here in Sweden as they apparantly do over there.
One has two e's and the other only one????? I'll stick with GTK+ thanks.
Yes you're right. You shouldn't judge QT since you've never used it. Especially not because someone happened to misspell the name of a header file. Big deal.
Why don't you try it out first, then if you think it sucks, you'll know it sucks and that you want to use GTK+ instead.

Dude, how do you represent every word in the english language using only 1 (one) 7-bit character?

Al, is that you?
And what about the US spammers? I bet we could instantly double the available bandwidth of the whole net just by cutting the wires to Boca Raton, US.
And..and...We will roast their stomachs in hell, over a burning pile of spam. But first we will hit them with old shoes. Allah be praised!

Actually, it was a little funny.

No, it's around 0.05mm. That would be 5000 transistors then...
Maybe you should try a pubic hair instead, they're slightly thicker.. :)
Oh... you haven't seen anything yet. Imagine the frustration when your CPU and memory come as windows DLL's too. Implemented in Visual Basic.. :)

Well, looks like they still have some bugs to iron out before 2001. Does this mean Office 2001 will be delayed?
