  1. Re:Qt non-free versions on Qt Released For OS X · · Score: 1

    MFC is closed source? Try looking in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\MFC\SRC on your VC++ 6.0 installation.

    The MFC is not GPL'd, nor is the MFC free, but the source sure is available.

  2. Re:How about integrated buffers? on Why Not Solid State Hard Drives? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I can't believe this was modded interesting. (Not because the poster didn't know, but that the moderator got away with it as well) (Then again I only knew this from an OS design course I took... =))

    Don't we sync disks in Linux/BSD/Unix before shutting down or unmounting a disk to flush the buffers?

    There is even an NT resource kit utility that causes these buffers to be flushed as well.

    The AT&T System V manuals describe a table to indicate what was in the buffers to insure files didn't get out of sync.

    Welcome to the technology of the late 70's... =)

    Here is a link the the article that does not require a login.

    Lets teach everybody a trick here...
    If you have a link to the NY Times, replace the "www" with "archive" and it suddenly does not require a login.
    Please be kind to your fellow /.ers

    It took me a while, but the "from the X dept" line on this means Happy Happy Joy Joy.

    Why was this modded down?

    The data lost was due to bad indexing and key selection, not the database itself.

  9. Re:Public Place? on Recording Police Misconduct is Illegal · · Score: 1

    You can't record audio because bugging and survielence equipment was made illegal before there was vidoe, so federal statutes do not cover video.

    I wish I could remember the name of the law.

  10. Do you think this is legit? on Microsoft To Assist Ximian In Producing Mono · · Score: 1

    "Microsoft will do everything that it can to ensure that Windows remains the best place to run Windows applications. That said, if someone wants to write Windows-based applications for other platforms, we're not opposed to the idea," Stutz said.

    I do not think that a company trying to prove that it is not a monopolist would ever have allowed a representitive to say this.

  11. Re:good news on Appeals Court Sets Guidelines for Penetrating Anonymity Online · · Score: 2

    My company only keeps records necessary to comply with the IRS and GAAP, as well as to reduce legal liability. Everything else is to be destroyed after 60 days. This includes unnecessary hard copies of documents and email. It is in the employee handbook and they have to sign saying they read it. Being the Information Security administrator I participate in destruction of classified data all the time. I keep some logs for one year, but much is destroyed. This also includes records of internal employees internet usage. They procdure for a manager to get access to a employees PC, voice mail, email, or Internet usage is that it must be approved by our General Cousel. Between needing him, me, and a company officer to sign off on it, we only approve around one a month, with 40,000 employees. Not bad for a fortune 500.

    about MS Xenix. (As much as we all love to bash MS, they are commonly credited as the first company to optimize *NIX for the x86)

    It would make more sense to me if I spelled sense sense instead on since, since I spelled it since.

  17. You can't download it just yet.... on Yellow Dog Linux 2.0 Released · · Score: 3
    I noticed a release announcement in the rant on Mandrake asking for donation threads last friday.

    The only issue some of you might have is that from what I read at iMacLinux it is not downloadable until the end of June. It honestly makes since to me to try and recoup some of the costs by having the people who want to try it out first pay for it. IMHO
