I like Mac, I really love PowerBooks, but I simply can't understand why one should use a laptop computer
Uhm.. the article just mentioned laptops in general sense. It didn't recommend to actually install a webserver on it. Otherwise, they would be as 'useful' as Setting up a web server on a GAME BOY ADVANCE
Try installing Exchange 5.5 on NT4. PAIN IN THE ASS.
Again, the discussion was about the regular consumer, not sysadmins. I doubt your grandma or 8 y/o daughter have any need to install Exchange 5.5
Things don't get any better on Win2K or XP, where hotfixes can conflict and break things. Again, all undocumented (or underdocumented at least.)
As opposed to Extensive OSS documentation.

In all seriousness, I've heard many horror stories of newbies trying to install their first Linux OS and the 'community' that runs these channels on IRC made a mockery out of their situation just by pointing them out to linux*.org to RTFM. You can't have it both ways. Alternatively, if you're serious about your task, you can certainly find all the needed information from the internet when installing Win2k/XP+hotfixes/patches.
BTW, have you ever tried to install Win9x, Win2K, or WinXP from scratch?
My aunt bought and installed Windows 2000 Retail on her computer after she formatted the brand new Maxtor Hard Drive (without any help)
It took her 2 hours.
And she doesn't even know what Linux means, nor she has any extensive computer knowledge. She just followed the install sheet that came with the Hard Drive + OS.
Microsoft sells a culture, a lifestyle, in which you don't have to worry about computer problems because there are teeming millions of MCSEs and phone support and etc. to hold your hand through whatever problems may arise. And in fact this is true. Microsoft will smile and nod and politely empty your wallet.
Look, I would hate to burst your bubble, but this looks to me like a lame publicity stunt by the networks. I hate to be the conspiracy theory guy, but hear me out, because this is a great strategy.
SciFi/USA Networks Cancel Farscape claiming it costs too much to produce
The story hits various portals such as internet message boards, tv news, slashdot and others.
Creates a huge outcry from the fanbase, letters will be written, online petitions will be signed
Suddenly SciFi has a change of heart and brings the series for a trial run for one more season
As a result this turns out to be the best way to lure new viewers who are intrigued by all the hype
Indeed it's another one of those lies which totally gives credit to the wrong people.
The pioneers of television were the Russians, Nipkow who invented a mechanical revolving scanning disk in 1884 and Rosing who used a cathode ray tube in 1907 to display images from a mechanical transmitter. In Britain in 1923, John Logie Baird began to demonstrate television transmission using Nipkow disks. In America, Rosing's student, Vladimir Zworykin, filed a patent for an electronic television system in 1923, but the project was dropped by Westinghouse and Zworykin had to wait for RCA to restart the project in 1930. Meanwhile, an Idaho schoolboy, Philo Farnsworth, invented an electronic system in 1922, and by 1927 had transmitted television images. So you cannot deny the fact that the first Television was in fact invented by Russians. Zworykin's iconoscope led to modern televison cameras and Zworykin's kinescope was the basis for the modern television picture tube. Note that Nipkow and Zworykin are two different people.
So in the end, we know who was the real inventor and who was just the contributor to the development.
You know, there is a prototype by Sanyo which employs WiFi 802.11b in a digicam. They are right on the money. Except it's 1.5megapixels, but since it's a prototype, i'm sure there is hope for some high quality stuff out there which will make bluetooth powered cams look like christmas tree decorations.
1. transmit data in distance of up to 10 m without any cable connection.
So that gives you a really small radius around your PC to take pictures, if you're transmitting to a desktop PC. Although with a Laptop it should be fairly easy, but still, that's a lot of hardware to carry around. Not practical at all. The bluetooth technology really gets on my nerves. The range is horrible, and should be replaced by something better. It's not a God's gift to consumers. It's vapor.
2. As more and more peripheral devices develop BIP Bluetooth interfaces...
Ok, lets say I have a Ericsson mobile phone, and it can intercept and store blootooth signals. I doubt there is a phone out there which will store massive uncompressed image data on a tiny memory block. Totally useless. I can see no further applications within the next couple of years. The technology isn't widespread enough, and the storage on BT modules are either a) tiny b) non-existant c) inpractical
3. This state-of-the-art wireless connectivity allows the camera to interface to various peripheral devices without cables.
Vapor.
4. BIP compatible laptop computer can be used to store images, with a full 4 Mega picture taking around 47 seconds to transfer whilst a VGA resolution image takes just 1.5.
Is that even a feature? I can transfer 32 Megs of high quality image data from my DSC F505 under 30 seconds, give or take a few.
5. The DSC-FX77 will be available from November 2002.
Good. Someone should tell Sony that 1999 called. They want the digital camera back.
The only thing that's worth raving about with this digicam is the 4.0 megapixel spec (which is not much by today's standards). I just feel sorry for the people who will be paying lots of money for this overpriced POS.
Chapter 7 The part of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code describing the liquidation of a company after bankruptcy.
Sadly, the only thing that's possible to liquidate in Napster "Headquarters" are few 2U servers and a copy of MS Visual Studio 6.0 where Shawn actually wrote the damn thing.
Sucks to be him. One day you're the most popular pseudo-celebrity, next day you're just an MS Paint artist.
Think about it. A security expert is hired to analyze security and intelligence. Who the fuck cares whether they can shoot a gun or not. I know people who have studied their ABC's and can outhack any current FBI 'agents', but sweat like Steve Ballmer at the linux convention.
Question is, are you looking for supermodels or people who will keep the national security interests safe?
If I was in charge, I'd even hire obese, gay midgets, as long as they helped the agency to get up-to date with computer security.
Stupid beaurocracy tactics just like the one mentined in the above article are to blame for 9/11 attacks. I bet those FBI agents were in gym pumping iron when planes struck the world trade center.
(In theory) one can replace a single cluster with an equivalent of Windows ME and you'll achieve a trainwreck of a network which will spiral out of control.
It came from Iran before W3C first adopted it. Since there is a non-existance of computers in persia, they just carved the specifications in stone monuments, then americans stole the idea with sattelite imagery and passed on that information to W3C.

I'll do it tonight, if I have time.
Hope that helps.
If only I had mod points left, I'd mod you to Funny.

Sorry pal, I don't buy your argument.
Yes. In a place called Fantasyland.
I would like to welcome you to Capitalism.
Enjoy your stay.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure on the current OS's, but they did attempt to release the picture of WindowsME kernel. You can find it here
I'm wondering if staring at it long enough with the right mindset makes you see the matrix...
That's strage, because I've been staring at it for hours and all I could see is this blonde in a red dress.

It came from Iran before W3C first adopted it. Since there is a non-existance of computers in persia, they just carved the specifications in stone monuments, then americans stole the idea with sattelite imagery and passed on that information to W3C.
So there. IIRC they also invented SOAP and VoIP.
