OK... spin it this way... VB scripting would start showing up in Linux as a result of an Office port. Do I really want to have Outlook or an app on my system that is so prone to worms? Right out of the box... I want to hear some hardcore VB people convince me that this is a good thing for Linux... I think its a good thing from the exposing people to new things front... Wordperfect was king in the days of DOS... Windows made Office a standard... and when you don't have to pay more money for OS licenses maybe, MAYBE you can convince someone to use StarOffice/OpenOffice. I stray from my subject... the opinions on VB scripting widespread in Linux?
Any reason you say that flamer? Can't think of anything constructive?
1. If I need to I will use a wireless access point to connect with the school... I study there...
2. I do hope Comcast can work something out to maintain their share of the network. (I think they've had a plan for this for months) Business doesn't stop at 5PM on Friday when something this big is going down... We'll all be here tomorrow providing stupidity doesn't intervene.
You either need a hug or a kick in the ass... Because, you're in a camp that considers their technology something akin to a cult/religion... I usually rip on Mac folks for this, but there's one in every family... The reason I'm a Linux fan is that I have TOTAL control over how my system performs if I so choose... That's why Linux and other open alternatives will always be around. I don't want a GUI on my webserver or a database server... I'm a big fan of using the right tool for the right job. Linux just happens to be a better tool for a server OS and so when a company that offered services for it stops... I wonder how they think they're going to make money off of a jackass like you.
Opera 5 which pretty much outputs the same thing as IE can't get in NS is ok... but Mozilla... built on the same engine is not working... OK if your strategy is to make your propaganda less accessable then go ahead... We've just got to make sure their new customers find alternatives in better software. IE is a good browser... but from now on no site I develop will ever suggest Internet Explorer as a good choice for viewing my work. What else can we do?
I don't know if this applies everywhere but I believe there are lemon laws for most communities on computer hardware... Some say three repairs on the same sub-system constitutes a lemon... etc... I think that's the last line of defense... In the past year I've had 3 major pieces of hardware fail and only two replaced. One of them was a 75GXP Deskstar... The threat of bad publicity doesn't even whip these folks into shape anymore...
This article does not suggest a way to secure computer networks in the least... I'll read it again twice, but I doubt I'll find the missing paragraph that someone must have read...
I remember from a materials science course that GaAs semiconductors were more resistant to electromagnetic fields' influence... What kind of applications could these chips be better for than straight silicon? The military has plenty of applications... but what industries could specifically benefit from cheap electromagnetically "rugged" chips?
I remember watching something on the History Channel about how they used to map body measurements to identify convicts in Leavenworth. They abandoned this technique for static ID for fingerprints because they had two convicts with the same name and the exact same measurements in the joint at once. Not to say it wouldn't be somewhat useful in ruling out people in a crowd of suspects... But to absolutely try to ID some one based on this technology would still bring up enough errors to make it a waste of time.
What am I doing up this early on a Saturday?

I know what ya mean... however I am laughing my ass off at the image of a kangaroo eating a lion with his rabbit homeboys...

Have a nice day...
Thanks...
Time to buy an 802.11b adapter and use the university next door's conncetion! I hope Comcast can work something out by what I assume is 12 ET 11 CT...
