No, you can only transfer a Radio weblog to another Manilla server. You could run your own Manilla server if you purchase the software for the low low price of $1000.
I had a huge fight with my weblog host. They locked me out of my blog, and refused to relinquish control when I migrated to a new host, leaving my old dead blog to compete with my new blog. I had to file a DMCA complaint to get back control. The asshole webhost still doesn't realize how close they came to having their entire system disconnected, just because they decided to be vindictive and fuck with me. I felt really bad about considering a DMCA complaint until I finally came to the conclusion they were just being plain malicious assholes and the DMCA was my only recourse without hiring a lawyer. So I filed, they drug their feet but finally caved in, only an hour before their upstream was going to pull the plug.
Commercial inkjet carts will be worthless in this application. Very large format prints are typically done at 70 dpi, I've seen billboard proofs as low as 15dpi and they look great (well, when seen from billboard distance). You want something that can blast out huge dots, not microscopic 1440dpi dots. Plotter mechanisms are difficult to engineer with precision at that size. Most of the largest format printers use a rotating drum like Iris inkjets. You should see Metromedia's custom printers, they use drums the size of railroad boxcars. It is much easier to keep a drum spinning at a constant speed and just run a printhead past it at a fixed speed, than to accurately advance paper in fixed increments through a conventional printer mechanism. Trust me on this, I used to be an Iris technician.
How much do you want to bet a blank drive costs more than the Lindows drive? It has to be, Seagate isn't doing this for free, they get a kickback from Lindows for each unit shipped, I bet.
I wish people would apply this kind of energy to the real world instead of frittering it away on mindgames. It could have been real useful, say for example, in Florida around November 2000.
Uh, yeah, Apache makes a marvelous Fileserver , especially with mod_dumbshit enabled.
I defer to your obvious expertise with dumb shit, but my MacOS X system uses Apache to serve files quite nicely without any mods. MacOS X also has Samba, FTP, and anyt other flavor of file serving you could want.
When his partners found out about the embezzling and a couple of other dirty things, they ganged up on the CEO and forced a sale the company and got their cash out. Now the CEO is head of one of the VAR 500. And me, I'm still blackballed by the asshole CEO. I'll get even with him someday.
It is unlikely anyone would ever want this for use with Macs. MacOS X already has Apache for file serving, and you'd have to be an idiot to spend $400 for a CPU with a 120Gb drive when you could get a 120Gb Firewire drive for backups, that would only cost about $175. Now the question is, why would ANYONE need this product?
Oh.. I got wrapped up in an anecdote and forgot to answer your question. Nobody directed me to do everyone else's job, but I was the #1 Mac guy and everyone naturally glommed on to me and my specific expertise. I probably couldn't have stopped it if I tried. Eventually the boss discovered that Apple would pay half the base salary of Apple Specialists, but of course, instead of using that to increase my base pay, he just kept it for the company and paid me the same crappy base salary, which is NOT what Apple intended. I would have fought him over it if I hadn't gotten fired when I blew the whistle on his embezzling.
I tried cutting off the worst offenders, but they always found a way to get back at me and waste even more of my time. One example: everyone hated selling printer ribbons because it took extra time to get the product from our warehouse across the street, it could take as long to sell a $15 ribbon as a $4000 computer. So one asshole rep, whenever he got a call from someone asking if we had a ribbon in stock, he always said it was in stock, and then said, "be sure to ask for me, my name is.." and then he gave MY name. I started getting suspicious after about the 5th person coming in that said "I just talked to you on the phone about an Epson MX-80 ribbon" when I had no recollection of any such conversation. I finally caught the person who was doing it by eavesdropping over the cubicle walls. Of course my boss (the embezzler) thought it was funny.
well, I just kept working at the same old unfair pay scale. Eventually, I got fired for blowing the whistle on the CEO's embezzling. But that's a long story.. Man was that a shitty job.
This reminds me of a big argument I had over compensation, when worked at a big computer retailer back in the late 1980s. I complained that as the only technically-oriented sales rep, I did an inordinate amount of work for the other sales reps, configuring their systems and troubleshooting, etc. and of course they made the sales commissions and I got nothing. I had a small base salary plus commissions, I told the boss I wanted to be compensated for the work I was doing for everyone else, by an increase to my base salary. The boss refused to believe I spent that much time helping everyone else, so I worked out a plan. For a full week, every 5 minutes, I would write down everything I was doing. I had a little timer that went off every 5 min, I took it everywhere except on sales calls. It took a huge amount of effort to record things constantly, but I was out to prove a point. After the week, I compiled the report, and it turned out that I spent more than half my time doing uncompensated work for other sales reps. I was the only rep doing work for other reps, all the other reps solely did their own work. I had proven my point, but do you think I got a raise? No, of course not.
As anyone with bad hearing in one ear (like me) will attest, stereo location using sound is a very weak sense. Having worked with stereoscopic 3D images for many years, I have found that about 10-20% of all people have vision problems in one eye that are just bad enough that they can't see the stereographic effect. I expect that similarly, there are enough people with weak hearing in one ear, enough to prevent a similarly large group from using audio stereolocation.
Robertson said Microsoft, the world's No. 1 software maker, had a "direct and open line of communication" with Japan's government over software security, standards and development.
#1 software maker? By what criterion? Quantity? I could probably dig up a few companies that ship a hell of a lot more different, important software packages than MS, like maybe CCH Computax for example. #1 in market cap? That has nothing to do with software. #1 most vulnerable software? I think we're getting close. They're talking about quality, but not in the way they'd like, being the worlds #1 most vulnerable OS.
I remember an anecdote from Ted Nelson's Computer Lib book about how one guy demonstrated programming to kids. He did it by pretending to be a robot, and the kids had to give voice commands to do some simple task like walk across the room and pick up an object. I'll give you an idea (I'd do this on separate lines as a script but the goddam lameness filter doesn't like it)
You: Begin. Kids: walk across room. Y: error. Kids: walk forward. Y: error. K: walk Y: error, hint try 'lift foot.' K: lift foot. Y: error, which foot? K: lift left foot. Y: error, how high? K: lift left foot 12 inches. Y:
I think you get the idea. Kids love to boss other people around, and you have to get them thinking about breaking down simple things they know. You could even give the kids activities of creating short "scripts" on the blackboard once they figure out how to make each stride, etc.
Since you want to demonstrate Microsoft programming tools, I'd suggest you bring some visual aids, like a bottle of gasoline and matches to set yourself on fire at random intervals.
I'll agree, I've used QTBroadcaster and QTSS (actually Darwin Streaming Server, QTSS is MacOS X Server-only but they are essentially identical) and the results are excellent even using a low end iMac. I used it to stream my DirecTV signal to computers elsewhere in the house. I have an RF remote for the DirecTV so I could change channels from anywhere in the house. Note that Darwin Streaming Server runs on various platforms, including Darwin OS and Linux.
That's a misstatement of the only real fact in this pathetic document. It clearly states that the NULs make it extremely hard to execute buffer overflows.
I paid for and used that piece o'crap software, and there was no evidence of that feature available. I can assure you that if Winer supports a specific feature, everyone else on the net will find a better, more elegant way to do it, just to spite him. That's what he gets for being Dave.
And you are equally barking up the wrong tree. Didn't you notice this newfangled invention called "the World Wide Web?" That's what it's for, one-way transmission of static content.
Well that was a particularly stupid attempt to put words in my mouth. I'm merely pointing out obvious problems in RSS distribution control. RSS was never designed for control, it was designed for free, unfettered distribution. Listservs automatically have distribution control. And your point was...?
Did it ever occur to anyone that most Listservs are TWO-WAY systems, and RSS syndication is a ONE-WAY system? If I want to reply to a list, I just reply via email, on most systems the message is instantly distributed to the list. This will never ever happen with RSS. RSS is a one-to-many distribution system, mailing lists are many-to-many systems. RSS is an implementation of a hierarchical authority structure, oh boy I just need more of that like I need more spam. Ya know, I remember in the early days when there was no WWW, and listservs were considered a killer app. It's no different today, many people want an internet connection just to access and interact on specialized lists. Let us hope that this never goes away. The internet is not designed for us to all subscribe to the same RSS feeds, the internet is designed for us to talk to EACH OTHER.

My system works fine on 10.2.8, it seems to be an extremely small (but vocal) minority with problems.
I think you missed my point, I mean "huge dots" as compared to 1440dpi, I don't know any airbrush system that could get as low as the 15dpi I cited.
No, you can only transfer a Radio weblog to another Manilla server. You could run your own Manilla server if you purchase the software for the low low price of $1000.

APE is evil, I've had no end of obscure problems caused by those stupid gadgets. You don't want them on your system.
