what makes this any more gorgeous than a powerbook?
you have no taste.
the price is way too much for what it is as well. I think panasonic is shooting themselves in the foot with this one
Panasonic does not sell these to consumers. Or even resellers. They're sold to institutions who need them. Like construction companies, and military units. They're certified to withstand shit that very little else can stand. They're NOT overpriced for what they are
the one powerbook owner I know personally dropped his on a corner off a table about 4 feet high and had it literally split open. Powerbooks are simply NOT as tough as toughbooks.
you're asking the question wrong. To quote from bash.org:
<dm> I discovered that you'd never get an answer to a problem from Linux Gurus by asking. You have to troll in order for someone to help you with a Linux problem. <dm> For example, I didn't know how to find files by contents and the man pages were way too confusing. What did I do? I knew from experience that if I just asked, I'd be told to read the man pages even though it was too hard for me. <dm> Instead, I did what works. Trolling. By stating that Linux sucked because it was so hard to find a file compared to Windows, I got every self-described Linux Guru around the world coming to my aid. They gave me examples after examples of different ways to do it. All this in order to prove to everyone that Linux was better. <dm> So if you're starting out Linux, I advise you to use the same method as I did to get help. Start the sentence with "Linux is gay because it can't do XXX like Windows can". You will have PhDs running to tell you how to solve your problems.
Gateway Anykey 's also had diagonal arrow keys. Your keyboard sounds suspicously like them. The new keyboards from Focus Electronic kick ass, especially the 8200 and 9200, with a built in calculator, and 12 macro keys (that work in linux, or other less popular OS's). My anykey gave out after many years, and this is the only keyboard I've found with macro keys:-) I love this thing.
somehow I don't see the USSR running anything out of Digital or AT&T... They probably developed their own operating systems and hardware... does anyone know what this was or weather it was developed after the fall of the Soviets?

dude we talked managment into a lasertag game and it was hella fun:-) so stop bitching thanks
yeah, except that Blizzard titles routinely break sales records, for example StarCraft, which sold 6 million copies. also, Is this 800 million for Sierra AND Blizzard? Doesn't Sierra publish, for example, Half Life (8 million copies), and Homeworld and such? these aren't exactly slouches
This is a very valid point. To many users, the absence of spamfilters would pretty much render the email system unusable.
We're not talking about spamfilters, we're talking about RBLs, which are usually more of a problem than a solution. Granted that spamhaus provides more services than an RBL does (like providing names of those who should be crucified), but both the original parent of this thread and the article summary are refering to RBLs.
If the spammers are able to shut down spamfiltering services in this way, there will be a significant demand towards getting SMTP replaced by a smater protocol, that will not allow spamming in the form we see it today = spammers lose.
Granted, that if there was no way to filter spam there would be a strong demand for the replacement of SMTP. ignoring Bayesian filtering for the moment (which generally has less false positives, less false negatives, and does not usually trash anything outright), it would be MUCH simpler, and easier to implement spam filtering on top of smtp, or to mearly require that all mail be signed, (etc, ad nausium) than it would be to write a new protocol, and have it implemented, especially if it is incompatible with the existing protocol (which has 100% market penetration)
To install new software on all mailservers is quite a task. This is likely to take time, and be quite an interruption = everyone lose.
Very good! you've covered one of the reasons that this ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN.
There's also a great danger that Microsoft would take advantage of the situation, and try to create a new propritary mail protocol based on Palladium, for Windows users only = everyone not using Windows lose.
This wouldn't happen because Microsoft is not entirely stupid. This would be akin to Windows Media Player only playing WMA, or Internet Explorer only working with IIS sites.
When? do you actually think SMTP would get supplanted in the near term (>5 years) with an incompatible solution? Do you think there won't be new and better anti-spam solutions before SMTP is supplanted? (if you answered yes to either of the above, your world view is distorted and you need to stop drinking so much;-)
All of these have an equivelant on linux and probably solaris. If any of them DON'T, they're not relavent because you don't want to teach students to use tools that won't be available to them in corporate environment unix development (where linux just recently caught a foothold, and mac OSX will not be the dominant platform in the foreseeable future) Apple's prices when compared to sparcs are cheap, but not when compared to x86 boxen.
On some of your points: JDK 1.4.1: Why the hell do you point this out? This is like pointing out the macs ability to have a keyboard attached. It wouldn't be a real computer without it. BSD based: why is this better than SysV based OS? I'm fairly sure that linux, solaris AND OSX have most of the best features of both anyway. The old lines have been smudged. Netboot/Netinstall: Irrelavent. you're pointing out that OSX has a new feature which Linux has had since 2.0 and solaris has had since before it was called solaris.
unix has this great command called 'last' which tells you who logged in when. force logouts at midnight, tell everyone to open a SSH session to some server when they come in
Have either of the other consoles gotten close to what the PS2 is still selling at? I look at this as an act of desperation to be profitable before 2004 numbers roll in. See what Gord had to say when the GC was released (link on the page for Xbox stuff) I honestly don't see Sony losing it's grip on this market. Especially since the PS3 is promised to play PS2/PSX games.
will people please stop generallizing? There is more than one person posting on/., and I guarentee there are more than two opinions about any topic.
Regardless,
Have a heart, people! Sure, spammers are jerks, we can laugh at them and make fun of them, but don't you have any sense of decency?
I beg your pardon? This is the Network that belongs to the People. These are the people that are abusing the network.
I don't have a sense of decency when it comes to dirty, nasty, polluters that break laws or attempt to break laws.
If it had been a list of alcoholics or political dissidents no one would have any business posting their names anywhere. This is a list of people who can each be charged with trespassing or attempted trespassing, and our government refuses to charge them with these crimes. Now I'm not saying I'M going to go vigilanti on their collective ass, but I'm more than willing to turn a blind eye to anyone who does.

I remember reading somewhere that his wife is responsible for it's predicessor (which I believe was called "MS BOB")
you don't think that could have anything to do with him still being there?
As sex toys?
Please type in english. That's offensive.
thanks, have a nice day

Probably Microsoft.

How many LEGAL copies of starcraft sold in SC?
Does anyone have the stats for this? I was under the impression that it's mostly piracy...
at least read it- it IS funny :-)

force logouts at midnight, tell everyone to open a SSH session to some server when they come in
If you run 2.6.0-test6 with -mm15 and some home brewed patches, you can have crashes without hardware failure
