Try it... you get a nice screenshot of the web browser with a nice little "Clever Content" tiled image where the satellite pics are.. ctrl-prtscn is disabled by the plug-in as well.
Microsoft has nothing to do with these pics, they happen to host some older free stuff of Aerial Images, but not the current ones, and don't have any say so or knowledge of what is on www.terraserver.com
Sorry, can't mirror it unless someone wants to pay for each image.. seeing the 2 meter shots was very interesting I must say, but nothing more than a base (come on people, what exactly were we expecting here anyway? Operating on Aliens in the wide open space? Flying UFO's around?) The US knew the Russian satellite was there, suprised they didn't do something stupid like draw a big 'X' in the ground.. oh wait.. they did..
It doesn't, terraserver.com is owned by Aerial Images. Who provided some of the stuff for terraserver.microsoft.com they aren't the same however.
Re:MP3 players -hate to prove you wrong but...
on
Sega Dreamcast: $0
·
· Score: 1
And to top it all off, once you upgrade the dreamcast browser so that you can download mp3's you can no longer connect to the internet via another ISP, only theirs.. what do you know.
Note that the logo is "Compatible with Microsoft Windows CE". I'm reading this right off the front of the console btw.
It's been stated numerous times that the console does not in fact run Windows CE, that is dependant upon the software title.
The browser that ships with it is a planetweb hack, not IE. I do kinda wish that IE or Netscape had the same "right click" type functionality that the Sega browser does, 640x480 is way to small to make it actually very useful.
The thing that Windows has, which Linux doesn't, is MS Word 2000. To those that get Word attachments, the fact that there may be some vaguely similar software packages for Linux does not, regrettably, cut it.
I just happen to have a nifty little script called from pine that views those horrid Word attachments.
Excel
Gnome's spreadsheet application opens/writes Excel documents by the way.
Who shot JFK? Who killed Marilyn Monroe? What is really going on in the Arizona/Nevada desert?
We are told exactly what we should know regardless of what the truth might be.
Look at this Echelon thing. The Y2K media frenzy. Who in the world is NOT being told "exactly what they should know (regardless of what the truth might be)"
What he Should have said was "Governments" period, no "their government" or "governments like these" but alas, he did not.
However, I would agree with him on one point, if I changed his way of saying it. I wouldn't trust any OS made by any government to not have back doors for snooping, but then again, I personally wouldn't care, what are they going to see "Oh.. he reads slashdot, oh, he sends emails to family and co-workers." so???
No offence, but we didn't wait until 1999 to fix the 2000 date problem.
Back when I was in college in 1993, they were teaching us COBOL, and what did we do with COBOL you ask? Simple.. we wrote programs that looked at databases and other programs and appeneded four digit years instead of two digit years.
(Sarcasm alert) Gee.. I wonder how that became useful;) (end sarcasm)
Banks had to worry about it in 1996 when they started making bank cards with '00' expiration dates. Some with those new cards were unable to get their money.
The media didn't hype it until this year, meanwhile, those that were actually hard at work fixing it were sick of dealing with it by the time the media made a big deal out of it.
That's why nothing happened, we've been working on it for years, no-one noticed until the media got their suits in a wad.
Well... The problem here is people are celebrating for the wrong reasons.
I'm not getting into the 2000-2001 thing, I've worked Helpdesk for too many years (IBM and an ISP) to know that the stupid people outweigh the smart ones:)
What I am saying, this was an event... The earth made it through another rotation around the sun (number 4,586,245,973 or something like that;) ) and with today's polution/wars/etc/ad nasuem, that my friend is a reason to celebrate.
Or you can just celebrate the pagan holidays if you're pagan:) (which on a side note, no-longer coincide with xian holidays due to all the calendar changes;)
None taken.:) And I'm down to 5 IDE devices now because the case I have doesn't have any more drive bays.
I've been round and round with people in this area about SCSI. If I were running a server, it would be SCSI for the speed/reliability/ease of installation. But the home PC is the one with all the drives, it plays games, it reads Slashdot, plays MP3's, and has only 'coastered' ~10 out of 200 CD's I've burned.
In responce to WNight, ABIT BH6, primary disabled, secondary has the CD devices, the Promise Ultra card primary has C: and secondary has D: and E:
For Rendus, That's my biggest point, I'm not doing anything critical with the system, why spring for the extra? However, I find it rather easy to work with SCSI on the servers at work, just make sure the ID is different and the last drive is terminated and it works great, both the Sparc5 and the sparc10 on my desk run SCSI, and share an NFS mounted external drive and a CD-ROM, but that is at work, IDE is at home:)
I for one am glad this is in development. I used VMWare back in it's beta days and was quite impressed with the idea. I wasn't that impressed when I started getting spammed about the release version and 'send us x ammount of dollars so you can still use this.'
If I was going to pay them the ammount they wanted, I would expect that all of my hardware would work with VMWare, but it wouldn't recognize my windoze partition and made me re-install, wouldn't let me have the 6 IDE devices I have in my pc (4 HDD, 1 CD-ROM, 1 CD-RW)
Now with FreeMWare, it's free, I expect stuff like this, and spending hours configuring it to be useful. I wonder how this will affect VMWare's pricing scheme?
My bro-in-law works for them and worked for them back when they split from AT&T and came up with the logo...
I remember the two of us going out to look at the van after they changed the logo and thinking it looked like a ring of lipstick one might see after a deep-throat.
Right.. I remember asking a friend inside Redhat where exactly 5.9 was hidden and he told me/starbuck and then we got on the topic of the names.. first I though coffee...;) then he mentioned that 5.x releases were in reference to stuff in Battlestar Gallactica
Our server farm is full of these things, about 30 keyboards/monitors for a few hundred machines.
Not only do they work for switching between our IBMs (NT/Intel) boxes but also our Suns (Solaris/Sparc) and Digitals (DEC/Alpha).. all using a standard pc monitor/keyboard/mouse.. and yes.. the scroll wheel does work with the switch:)
Nope, in a previous incarnation (Head tech at Egghead software) I had the pleasure (torture?) of rigging up an external modem to one of these for a customer.. 386SX 33, 2.88 MB floppy, pretty decked for a 386.
Oh, and MCA is an inverse connection from PCI;) (or actually the other way around since MCA came first)
On another note, I also have seen a token ring card that had both MCA and ISA connections.. it had a blade on either side of the card, so you turned it one way for MCA and the other for ISA, pretty cool.. but useless
I've also got a script that was written before we got the new version of pine that launches lynx for html mail.. it also launches a text based word viewer for the stupid word attachments floating around the office
I have had both good and bad experiences with them. The first two relationships that started from online (chatrooms) both turned out sour.
However, with the third one (chatroom as well), I have found my perfect match and am quite happy.
I guess what I am saying is that online relationships are just about the same as offline ones. The only difference with the online ones is you don't know how much the person is lying till you meet them.
As I said, this last one has worked out perfectly, you can check out pictures Of me, the wife, and our kid (being blessed by CmdrTaco of all people);)
Never once at my employment at IBM was I subjected to company songs or the odd blue dress code. I have heard of the dress code, but that has been defunct for a while

This stuff has been bouncing all night, long before /. posted it. try the "CNN effect" or the "Dan Rather" effect, or the "Yahoo effect".
Actually, I believe it's the "Microsoft NT effect"
It doesn't, terraserver.com is owned by Aerial Images. Who provided some of the stuff for terraserver.microsoft.com they aren't the same however.

which is December 21st 2012.. so we have quite a while to get ready ;)..
oh my god.. my daughter will grow up to become Hemos..
*shudder* I needed that visual image, thanks ;)
Hope that isn't a preview of what is to come ;)
