As the owner of a 55inch Sony WEGA HD widescreen, I'd like to qualify that. Traditional SD content like a VHS or an old movie or or old TV show does look like crap. However digital SD satellilte content, my 480i XBOX games and my and GameCube (which is 480p most of the time) look excellent. 480i can look good as long as the source is good. Component video on most consoles is crisp and clean enough that they look good. I'm not saying they look as good as HD content, but in the case of video games, I'd challenge most people to see the difference.
For what its worth, Cube widcreen games look much better than my XBOX widescreen titles. The XBOX ones stretchcontent, where as the cube ones actually are 16:9.
1. Post mirror links to slashdot 2. Check the browser string to see what OS they are running, which includeds SP level. 3. Since most slashdot users probably run pirated copies of XP, they couldn't load SP1. 4. Microsoft only distributes patches for SP1 and SP2 now. 4. List of rootable hosts!
And is not a lot like its predecessors. It is also listed amongst gamespot's top games of the year, but I am too lazy to dig up links.
Unlike burnout 2 I found the racing actually fun. Takedown mode on X-Box live is great, where you race and attempt to knock out your competitors.
Its probably the best arcade style racer ever.
The only disappointment is that Burnout 2 (On cube admittedly) handled Widescreen HD better. The few 480p widescreen titles on cube such as eternal darkness and Burnout two don't show scaling effects on widescreen, while many X-Box HD titles stretch on widescreen.
If all you need is directory services replication, the OD/AD integration is fine, but for my requirements, I wanted truly integrated native UNIX / Windows authentication, the kind the Samba does not provide.
Beyond the Directory integration, you need to build a Kerberos domain for absolutely seamless authentication and 100% verifiable identity. The best thing is, once you have it up and running you have single sign on as well.
Apple, Sun, and Microsoft sell "Integration tools" that do this halfway, but the best paper I have seen on doing it natively is by Microsoft.

It's a little hard to get you head around, but it kicks ass once it is up an running. Unlike Sun's "Java One Directory" or whatever they renamed it this week OS, X's OD has native Kerberos support built in, so the hardest part is done for you.
Of course for only 5 boxes I might just decomission AD and use Samba myself.
While many Unicies licensed the code from AT&T, I think post SunOS Solaris launched after Novell had negotiated their agreement with SCO. In the SunOS days it was BSD based, but Solaris is System V.
Novell disputes that SCO is the sole owner of UNIX, not that SCO cannot license UNIX. Novell says that they sold the right to SCO to license UNIX, so even Novell would agree that Sun did the right thing. Sun was legally obligated to license System V from somebody, so paying SCO was appropriate. I believe that Sun's agreement requires them to relicense periodically, thus the recent payments. What has not made news was all the historic payments as well.
IBM does not pay anybody since AIX is not based on System V, but supposedly clean room reverse engineered.
Just like democrats and republicans there is a spectrum. A libertarian typically believes in the government only controlling those things that cannot be provided for by the private sector (like a republican) with no social regulation in our country or abroad (like a democrat). That is what you said, and what he said. What is appropriate government intervention generally varies, but that is like any other political view.
That really depends on Union involvement. Many regal cinemas for instance are non-union so the assistant and shift managers run the movies. They generally ARE teenagers.
I take that back. There is an SEC regulation requiring them to file with the SEC after a certain number of share holders. From Google's S-1 filing...
"...Our growth has reduced some of the advantages of private ownership. By law, certain private companies must report as if they were public companies. The deadline imposed by this requirement accelerated our decision. As a smaller private company, Google kept business information closely held, and we believe this helped us against competitors. But, as we grow larger, information becomes more widely known. As a public company, we will of course provide you with all information required by law, and we will also do our best to explain our actions. But we will not unnecessarily disclose all of our strengths, strategies and intentions. We have transferred significant ownership of Google to employees in return for their efforts in building the business. And, we benefited greatly by selling $26 million of stock to our early investors before we were profitable. Thus, employee and investor liquidity were significant factors."
Well, I don't know if you can pursue this tactic, but you could block outbound SMTP from user subnets, I know of at least 2 public and two private universities that do just that. (I worked on university networks in a previous career)
Well, we are quite a bit larger a company than our (or just about anybodys) upstream, so your complaint is better serviced by sending it to abuse here, and not the upstream. I imagine that this is true of any company who does over a billion in e-commerce a year. I know its a sad state, but for most companies when the 800 pound gorilla is one of your customers, you tend to tred very lightly around them.
The opting is a check box in our order checkout process. I have fought with marketing over various defaulting type strategies, some victories and some losses. (Almost all rebate forms produced by any vendor are an implicit opt-in, at any company, not just ours. I don't buy things with mail-in rebates unless its really great.)
The first blackout in a three day period is 20 minutes. I think each blackout gets longer, but we have not exceeded a 2 hour blackout since our initial problems. If you go something like 3 days without exceeding some magic threshold they don't disclose they reset the counter.
The soulution is not perfect but very good and it seems to be based on ratio of "not spam" to "spam" you send to AOL. We have a complaint rate of less than 1/10th of a percent so until the virus of the day comes we almost never have blackout beyond the 20 minute one.
We usually quickly catch the virus of the day anyway since it crushes our inbound queues before NAI even announces it.
As a matter of fact AOL handles this quite reasonably. The secret is reverse resolution.
I am postmaster and in the IT security department of a fortune 150 Office Supply company. We started to experience this problem, and contacted AOL. We were added to the whitelist, set up the feedback loop yet we kept getting blacklisted. Spoke with a tech who told us to call the corporate phone number and speak with the "Spam Czar" whose name I cannot recall and cannot locate via google.
After speaking with him we discovered we were still getting blacklisted after around five complaints, when we send thousands of order confirmations to AOL addresses a day. They tracked down the problem, and it was that one of our mail servers did not reverse resolve. We fixed this, and bam, we now take nearly a hundred complaints to be blacklisted.
(You wouldn't believe how many people flag an order confirmation as spam. You also wouldn't believe how many corporate employees forward there email to AOL and flag it as spam, when they forwarded the spam to themselves!)
It was quite embaressing that we were not reverse resolving the host that sends order confirmations. We do send some opt-in marketing, but it originates from a different server.
(Our marketing you opt into while ordering, don't flame me, we do not purchase lists!)
Slashdot Mirror
Umm, 1080i is 540 lines of content, lower visual quality that 720p. It may be that the affiliate or the encoding was bad. 720p is "High Deffier"

Umm, you didn't describe moderate. You are a libertarian. Welcome to the sane peoples club.
Bah, you uppity East siders.

Wake me up when Seymour Cray buys a site license
Given that he died in 1996, I guess that would indeed be something worth waking up for.
Heh Heh. Cray through SGI has been involved in Windows clustering, but got out of it. Guess they learned better.
Check out this SGI graphics cluster documentation.

No, there is an SEC regulation requiring them to go public after reaching a certain number of shareholders.
I can't find anything other than a citation to this fact though, so I am searching the filing on edgar.sec.gov to find it.
Hey Mr. Z, check out this developer profile on Channel 9!
Our subject does say that it is an order confirmation. It does not help.
