but would feel guilty forever....so I found a place that sells their normal bluetooth desktop, but those diNovo's look pretty stylish, what you need is a matching flat screen and there you go.
ASIO has been able to this this for quite a while, I think the laws got passed, but weren't released for like 2 years after the fact....? The is a/. article someplace for sure.
Anyways, I don't like it, but I guess they can probably already get that kind of info from the ISP. So as long as they have to get a warrant to do it, they still have to convince a judge its alright *shrugs*
Not if the PDC has been up for about a week, and is not in the "mood" for refereshing network information about which shares are available (I dont care about shares that aren't there anymore). Then the IP address usually works (bypasses the wins info I think).
Windows CIFS sucks, samba's is wicked, but tricky to configure - typical linux scenario IMHO - but you get used to having to hack linux (at least you have the option! you all know how to fix the windows problem I described tho right?? yup REBOOT)
I have an ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe and have used every 2.6 kernel since 2.6.0 on it, never had any lockups etc.
The only downside was using the i8x0 driver for sound for a long time, but now I'm using the driver from nvidia it's fine, I even have lm-sensors working (since 2.6.7 or something).
he downside of using the nvidia sound drivers is they are OSS....but I have at least 6 HW channels - so it's better than the i8x0 ALSA drivers that truely sucked (only one channel unless you went and setup the DMIX plugin shite).
At work I set up a GIGABYTE nforce2 MB for a dev server, and it's perfect also. Both systems are gentoo:)
If you're getting lockups from the APIC, I suggest you look into that patch (love sources used to have it), but I think it got merged into the kernel proper a while back.....maybe you have a HW issue that windows doesn't know about (yet).
I wish NVIDIA would give me ALSA drivers, but the OSS code is open, and I don't think it links to any libs....so I am surprised noone in the ALSA team has just "liberated" the code yet. Guess they don't care. The only thing it doesn't do yet is the HW AC3 encoding, but I guess that'd be up to ALSA & the guys who do those sort of projects to figure out.
[BTW I know the 64bit version is not due until Q1 or Q2 next year. Since I am going to get flamed anyway, does linux support 64bit apps yet? Not just support for system memory above 4GB, but a full 64bit API set? Just curious as I don't know.]
yup - with gentoo & ubuntu-linux you compile everything to include 64 support for each binary....however I am sure because linux is a collection of utilities from all over the place, most of the gnu utils will take advantage of 64 bits, but other applications probably wont. There's also 64bit PPC and sparc and alpha:) and these have been round for a while, so most of the standard linux base can be moved into 64 np:) btw: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/technotes.xml there's some reading for amd64 bit:) and status of gentoo sparc 64: http://dev.gentoo.org/~todd/sparc64.html
Oh and I forgot to add - it's actually part of the Lobour party rules - you have to "tow the party line" ie - no arguing when it comes to the actual vote, but when it comes to the media.....well they just cant help themselves
by the way - here's a great link: http://www.free-definition.com/Australian-S enate.h tml
Actually I think you might have misunderstood the previous posts:)
You see down here we don't have an election for the Prime Minister. The name says it all "prime" meaning first - the "first" minister is elected by the party, as the leader, or spokes person, and only become the PM if (and only if) they win the majority of seats in the lower house. The discussion was how the various parties elect the "chosen one":)
In the Labour party, anyone can join their local Labour party, and they all get together and put forward their nominations for the seat, and sometimes (esp in a "safe seat") they're ring-ins from the top, like Peter Garret - ex singer of Midnight Oil for the rest of the world, who was shipped to Sydney to make the Labour party look more "green", but mostly they are local reps.
As far as a minor party PM - the system does not cater for that eventuality at *all*:) pity really, but it would look kinda funny if we had a PM all lonly over in the corner trying to talk about legislation that was voted "1-everyone else in the chamber".....so the Westminster system has minor parties generally in the upper house, so they can vote with one of the other major parties or against to filter the propositions as they come up from below (except fater this election, the libs seem to have a majority in both houses, what we call a mandate.....scary huh?)
The first poster was right - there are many factions (and some are unions, but not all, remember the right of Labour is almost over with honest John). Which intrestingly enough, after the election, they have 2 very strong members in Lathams new line up (shaddow treas & and mini-me companion).
Hawke and Keating wanted uranium because the big mining companys wanted it, and so did their unions (one thing ppl always seem to not understand about unions, is big business and unions are generally great bedfellows - why? less administration, and many more ways to control their minions - ie if the union isn't intrested in helping a worker - they stay screwed, or leave).
Latham was under the impression Tassie wanted a greener policy too. I don't know if you actually wated the election, but due to Tassie getting daylight savings, they started counting their votes first. Everyone knew they had crucial seats Labour had to win if they wanted to get the election. The whole thing was pretty much over at 9pm (started counting at 7ish). Bottom line, the caucas took a guess at whatwould be more popular in Tassie, the Tassie yes men all agreeed, the press loved it, but they took so long to actually release a policy (2 days before the vote!) noone down there thought it could possibly save any jobs, and it was all a Bob Brown/Peter Garrat inspired green policy, and didn't go for it. It was a stupid thing to relase the policy so late in the campaign, but noone in Aus politics wants to do aHewson (make a book for everyone to read 1 year before the campaign and not understand it yourself...ie GST Mach I).
The best example of the Labour party having a public brawl tho has to be Keatings challenge for Hawke's PMship......ahhh back in the dayswhen all you had to do to beat the libs was bald face lie:) ahaha
(disclaimer - I don't vote for either major party, but I do love Aussie politics)
I've been a Linux admin for a few years now, mostly at the SME level. I have never had much of a budget, and consequently never used or installed a commercial Linux product with the expectation of support.....but guess what - never been completely stumped.
Usenet - rarely use it - google is my #1 support resource these days, after pulling my hair out for a while, I email - guess who - the guy who *actually* wrote the code - not some 16 year old who's collecting call stats, not some manager type who thinks the world will spin off it's axis if their company cops any form of responsibility for their product by admitting a fault...I just email them, they offer a suggestion, and it usually works. Now thats support!! (the Linux hackers are mostly totally cool, and they have PRIDE in their work)
Oh and it's fine to say - well home users shouldn't need to hack source code, but seriously, if you're an admin - you should know at least 2-3 languages - not overly well, but well enough to fix small bugs IMHO (if you are, and you can't - get involved - hack some kde stuff to make your life easier, then share it at kde-apps.org or sumfin:)
So did Jesus die for the ET's too? If so - and we meet a civilisation of humans (match our DNA and everything), and they have no religion or completely different relig.....what would that mean?
(the Catholics believe in good/evil and penance - so ET's could fit into Catholic dogma - but I can't see how they'd fit into the protestant faiths)
Well I have an Asus A7N8X-E and it is amazingly stable and the best machine I've owned in Linux - that said it's sound card that needs a good linux driver.
Basically - for those that don't know there are major problems with the sound support - it's a great card, works amazingly under windows.
Here is a link with more info: http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/viewtopic.p hp?t=36 337&start=15
A forum user has posted his correspondance with an nvidia rep/dev(?) in which it is stated that they are working on linux support. . . he also clarifies why the APU is a sore point for nvidia (not just in linux but in general)
So in linux you can get it to work easily, but only with one channel (ie everything has to play through arts/esd/whatever...) - but in kde this is useful:
http://ripi.net/software/kickarts/
I disagree - as a normal user of Linux, I never had to "keep up to date", but as I am now a sysadmin I found it very easy - read slashdot every day:) - or if you want to be boring about it, join the security mail list for whatever dist you use (they all have them;).
I have a lot of windows mates, and they all saw me and KDE - v.1 mind you - they liked it and wanted me to show it to them. Well most of them were pretty wishy-washy about it, but when they saw KDE v2 - they made me help them. So I gave them Mandrake, and refused to sit/look/help them install - just answered their questions (but like a guru-dude - replying with a question and making them figure it out;) hehehe.
Anyhoo - Mandrake has answered both your FUD issues dude - install was commented on *everytime* - but hey - well all miss the penguins with v8:( and hardware detection was *spot* on everytime. Oh and BTW - 2000's install is good, and hardware detection - not sayin this to avoid a flame - NT4's was crap on both counts.
"being 13 is no excuse - if he's smart enough to hack into the school district's systems, then he should know the ramifications of being caught, and the likelyhood of it happening. "
No excuse? Umm....how can you judge how much this boy knew about anything other than where to click?
He did something probably 25 other kids could do if they wanted to - and a couple of his mates probably already had - he just got caught. He should have been warned - and monitored for a while - thats it......he was 13.
"this should not even be on slashdot, it is very sad, but nothing to do with technology, and it happens every day.
Proudly not a slashdot sheep."
The reason this is on slashdot is because it coincides with the Katz articles on persecution of gifted geeky children, and because it is wrong. The punishment should fit the crime, however the judge's (ie the Principal or whomever was responsible for the treatment of the child, as well as the decision on the punishment; once they were caught) reasoning is tainted. Tainted because they are scared of kids who are good at tech.
The media and popular opinion (or populist hype) portrays this behaviour as not acceptable in society for some arcane reason; like they think it probably has to do with their own safety.
You Americans - a 13 year old kid who hacks into a school PC should never have been even given the *glimmer* that jail was an option in this situation!!
People who are scared of being hacked into - or more-so the buisness/marketing/managment/people who say they are power users because their client for the database takes up too much f*$&ing memory - you do not understand his behaviour - so shhh - while the rest of us explain that this kid is not going to be the next Kevin Mitnick - k? So your (whatever it is you think this kid could have possibly deprived the school/principal/you of) 's are safe.
For the people who need my point spelt out (ie anyone in North America)
You all have a responsibility that next time you see something like this - maybe right in front of you - maybe you will be the judge. Be as responsible as you intend your defendant to be when you catch him/her.
The worst that should have happened was his teacher to tell him off, and be told he would be monitored in some way - oh yeah - and not to do it again. Jail is for criminals - like rapists and murderers - oh thats right - those people get lighter time in the clink than HaCkErZ - oh and to all those people I offended - BOO! All your clues are belong to us:)
Just because your paranoid - don't mean their not after you.
