Devastating?? Devastating because of the possible worms, viruses that can araise from this?
Closed or open, a piece of software "should" be secure and clean regardless.. if it's devastating it just proves that MS creates shit, so the fact that a pro-windows site actually says that is sad.
Hey question for you guys, I've seen a lot of negative comments about Real, most of which are understandable as I myself until recently refused to install their bloated software.
The Helix community is a collaborative effort among Real, independent developers, and leading companies to extend the Helix DNA(TM) platform, the first open multi-format platform for digital media creation, delivery and playback. The Helix DNA platform is comprised of the following:
* Helix DNA Client
* Helix DNA Producer
* Helix DNA Server
* RealAudio and RealVideo codecs
I'm not too familiar with it but is it a step in the right direction for a company that once used to be on the cutting edge of digital media and now is trying to get back in the game? Or is it just another one of their corporate blood sucking tacticts? What are your thoughts?
Seems like "Just an incorrect size handling"

Microsoft is already scrambling to inform users to stop hammering their servers!
Several people report that it seems it might be affecting MSN servers?
Since i didn't get to see the demo thanks to you lovely people, this has proven one thing to me.
.NET scalable enough to sustain a good ol /.'ing.
Not even Microsoft can make
I am glad a project like this has started. There is a big need for open standards in digital media. Thank you

They're pushing their software with marketting buzzwords, "cutting edge, easy to use, most userfriendly, 100% FREE".
Why is that?, because they will get something in return.

The descriptions themselves reek of spyware.
Here is a more detailed look at what 1.5 has to offer.
Some of my favorites:
- Autoboxing and Auto-unboxing of Primitive Types
- Enhanced for loop
- Enumerated types
- Formatted Output
- Concurrency Utilities
- Improved Diagnostic Ability
- Desktop Client

Not that Linux devotees probably have that much to worry about. "
Is he being sarcastic?
Actually yes, It's RFC 2396.
Mozilla and I'm assuming Firebird do have this functionality.

According to the Reuter's graphic attached to the article, it's actually SGO not SCO. Did the poster even read _all_ the article? :p
I's not the CSS! it's those damn links making your page look shitty! Get rid of them.
That outcrop of rocks does look intersting, but also familiar. Ealier verions of these?
I just got spam'ed with 5 of these emails and the virus attached. Someone please remind me why these people who keep opening attachments are allowed to use computers again?
Exactly, read the post.
And that is how it should be! , ever since I moved to Canada (10yrs ago) I've lost notion of what a Kilogram is and I hate it. I need to start forcing myself to re-learn metric. I still refuse to use feet/inches though.

Opportunity is fast approaching the red planet. It should be an interesting night at JPL. Execellent work guys, good luck.
