it doesn't show up on the browse list on *WINDOWS* machines. Try running NAT against those machines...or better yet, use smbclient...you'll be surprised at what you see.
Hidden shares are NOT hidden by the machine sharing them. How's that for security?
should be that what they did to IBM, Apple, Netscape, RealNetworks, etc be done to THEM!!! I'm reading the findings of fact, and the whole thing is pretty sickening. Even more so than I originally thought.
What would be more fitting than to PROHIBIT microsoft from bundling any type of office product (including wordpad and IE) in their OS, and FORCE them to include Lotus SmartSuite, RealPlayer, Netscape Navigator, Quicktime...and PAY for each license!
I think that would be fair punishment. Of course, people could still download the MS product versions from their website for free...or go to the store and purchase them separately.
They have done this to other companies for years. It's time for them to be punished by the government as they have punished those other companies.
High school is where you learn the rudimentary stuff you'll use for more advanced stuff...for example calculus.
A pilot in the school that a kid could use to solve an equation, rather than do it himself has him fail to learn those basic skills. Sure it's nice to automate it, but at some point, it SHOULD be done by hand to understand the concept. If school kids have a computer that fits in their hand, they will not get these rudimentary skills.
I would have killed for a pilot in some of my college classes for exams. Ever try to solve Finite Element matrices, or a Routhe table in a 2 hour exam....by hand? A symbolic manipulator during the test sure would have been nice...one wrong number and your whole hour's worth of simplifying the equation is for nothing. That's where palm pilots and such are powerful tools...tools to keep out human error. NOT replacements for thinking! But at the basic math levels in high schools? No way.
Actually, last night while you were watching the sandra bullock thing, there was another movie on. It was called "The Timeshifters" or something like that.
In one scene, the camera cut to the father's kid whom he was talking on the phone with. Guess what the kid was doing? Playing Quake III! The real thing! And the sounds were even correct...none of the stupid pacman overlays.
"Jurassic Park" also portrayed (except for that last scene about 'I know this! It's UNIX!') computers pretty realistically.
So every now and then they get it right. Let's hope the trend continues. I was really astonished when I saw that quakeIII screen on last night's movie though. Wow!
With the obvious exception of SoBE, not much tastes better after a long hot day of downhill mountainbiking or even cross country on me Santa Cruz than a dew.
Their target audience is just fine, thanks!:)
(but I do drink a lot more of the stuff at work where I'm hacking away at something all day long)
I am running a web server (see above URL), and SSH on my cable-connected box. It's nice having the bandwidth to be able to stream my mp3 collection to work (Radio reception in our lab is non-existent).
The box also acts as my firewall, using IPChains to masquerade a couple other computers that sit behind it.
I've read the cable company's TOS, and didn't see anything explicitly forbidding any kind of server, unless it is for commercial use. They do, however, filter the Netbios/Netbeaui protocols, so it is not possible to run tools to easily find out about other users on the segment.
Overall, I'm very happy with the service, and probably wouldn't have it if I couldn't run my own servers.

Exactly.
And that's what will happen. The bear will simply knock his ass down and wear him out. He'll pass out from exaustion. Then the heat will get him as the batteries to the fan wear out. Then the camera goes out.
Then the bear will knock him around a bit every day as he slowly starves and dies in his hot dark supersuit.
He is only a man. With the limited strength of a man. In a big heavy suit. Against a bigger, stronger bear with all of its mobility and strength.
If the company *must* raise it's prices b/c of the antitrust trial...and the consumers have *nowhere* else to get the software and are *forced* to pay the increased prices....
I think M$ just shoots itself in the foot with the 'it hurts the cosumers!' argument.
OS/2 runs a lot of the older DOS games better than DOS ever did. And did you ever see OS/2 *native* Quake? WOW. Makes the windoze and linux versions look like they are running on half the machine!
That's one thing I miss under linux...not being able to play stuff like Epic pinball, jazz jackrabbit, etc.
...but linux has quake III, if you have the hardware (which I don't):(
OS/2's DOS support is *NOT* emulation. It is a true VDM (this is a HARDWARE feature of the Intel chips).
You can have up to 254 VDM's (Virtual Dos Machines) running simultaneously under OS/2. The windows programs are the same.
In addition, you can run several Windows programs under the same VDM to save resources (basically acting like another computer running windows just like windows does) *OR* run troublesome apps in their *OWN SEPARATE* VDM.
1) Move the thing a shadow (shortcut) points to in OS/2, and the shadow (shortcut) still knows where it is...right down to config.sys entries.
2) Do the above with a whole group of things
3) Change the colors for every element of an application using OS/2's system color pallette and drag drop. No need for ANY code to be written to take advantage of this feature...it's all in the OS/2 core SOM/DSOM model.
4) All containers from EVERY OS/2 PM application can be SHARED AMONGST THEMSELVES!!! For example, I could use the PMView file selector that does nice thumbnails (The thumbnails actually become a part of the actual image file through EA's) to drag a thumbnail to a folder's background image container...voila! I just changed that folder's background image! With an application that the OS didn't know anything about!
5) TEMPLATES! I can create, say, an FTP Folder just by dragging an FTP Template to the place I want to make it. Yeah...I can see FTP servers as if they are a folder on my desktop...THAT is REAL internet integration, Microsoft!!! (And was done a year or two before you thought of it) Other templates exist for EVERY OBJECT you can use under OS/2.
6) REXX Scripting. Unlike Linux, we only have one main scripting language...but it is used for everything and is consistent....Take for example ZOC, PhotoGraphics Pro, GTIRC.... If you prefer PERL...it can be embedded in REXX!
7) Consistent context menus. OS/2 has had RMB context menus since long before Microsoft thought of them. You see...In OS/2's WPS, EVERYTHING is an OBJECT. ANYTHING you can do with an object will appear on it's context menu.
8) An interface that MAKES SENSE! The right button to drag, left to select makes sense! You don't accidentally move things that way!
I'm sure others can add much much more, but these are the things you are missing. You obviously didn't take the time to learn the WPS and how it works...assuming that the Windows interface is somehow 'right'
I've been doing this for months using a Ramsey Stereo FM Transmitter kit. Works great. You also get the advantage that you can listen in any room of the house using nothing but a simple FM Receiver.
I listen to my music in the shower, kitchen, bedroom, and even outside on headphones when I'm working on my bike.

WindowMaker- Quick, feels light and stable. Just not that flexable. For instance, you can't maximize a window to full screen and then back to a small window. It just doesn't have the features of GNOME or KDE.
Try using the right mouse button on the titlebar, then click on "maximize", then "unmaximize." Is that what you were looking for?
Without going into full advocate mode here...exactly what 'features' of GNOME and KDE are lacking in Windowmaker? I think both of those lack the Easy amount of configurability in windowmaker.
hate to say it, but I fired up win95 the other day and was suprized at how easy to use the GUI was. After being on Linux for a while using windows for every day things was easier. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying windows is better but it's UI is smoother and more predictable.
You've obviously never used OS/2's Workplace Shell. Windows 95's interface is *NOT* good. It is *NOT* intuitive. It is *NOT* flexible. It is *NOT* efficient.
I feel sorry for you. You've obviously never used an interface that actually has useability and intuitiveness in mind.
Ever look at OS/2's WPS? The windows interface is *NOT* good. Neither is the macintosh. I wish the WM's for linux would stop trying to act like windoze. It's the wrong direction to go. At the moment, Windowmaker is the most useable WM on X IMHO.
What I meant to say was OS/2's Presentation Manager...not OS/2.
Also, the underlying object model that allows you to change attributes of all your window objects...without those objects having had the code written explicitly to do that. Gnome or KDE might get there some day...but it will be a long time. Like you said above...why even bother when there is a OOI out there that already does this?
Well...for one thing, the interface itself isn't very well threaded...look what happens to x11amp, or xanim, for example, when you move another window on the screen.
Now look what happens when you do something like that with a well threaded UI like OS/2.

No wonder this country is lagging in technology.
Who cares how long it takes to boot if it's less than a day? The real test is how long it can stay up without having to be brought down.
Of course, I guess this is an issue with NT as with most software installs, you end up having to reboot anyway.
It's the smart ones you have to watch out for.
And a violent smart kid would lie on the tests. They are worthless.
Then again, I told the truth on such tests when in the service, and they tried to tell me I was suicidal. Yeah, ok, whatever!

interface leaves much to be desired????
Try any of this in windoze:
1) Move the thing a shadow (shortcut) points to in OS/2, and the shadow (shortcut) still knows where it is...right down to config.sys entries.
2) Do the above with a whole group of things
3) Change the colors for every element of an application using OS/2's system color pallette and drag drop. No need for ANY code to be written to take advantage of this feature...it's all in the OS/2 core SOM/DSOM model.

Computer processors are getting faster all of the time too...so what is the point of 3d accelerators for video games?
It's the entire story in the short story "Living Will" by Alexander Jablokov.
I didn't read the story, but it sounds a lot like the Sci-Fi short story, "Living Will" by Alexander Jablokov.
For those interested, you can find the story in the collection of short stories, "Hackers", Edited by Jack Dann and Gardner Dozois.
Enjoy the read!
