From a link on the anti-Linux link above comes this lovely quote:
Linux geeks howled a bit, but then wrote off SCO as a bunch of sleazebags and went back to playing live-action roleplaying (LARP) games in their mothers' basements, or whatever it is they do when they're not writing device drivers and complaining about clueless end users.
Gotta love that kind of attitude in the reporting!
Take a look at this page. The use of the "cacls" command given near the bottom of the page works for me. I run that command when a specific game fails, and it generally does the trick.
Is it really THAT important to you to get the this the instant it's released? If it has bug fixes you need, surely you could download just those from somewhere already. Why not just wait a few days, and your download speeds will be fine.
Or are you one of those people who also had to be in line at midnight to buy the latest Back Street Boys CD the instant it hit the shelf?
I installed all the XP Pro critical and security upgrades to my home box as soon as I finished the install (with SP1). The Windows File Search function stopped working, Media Player immediately crashed at startup, and Yahoo Messenger didn't work. Had to re-install XP. This was a brand new install, not an upgrade. So I'm a bit leery of doing any more updates. Yes I did do the update for the latest worm.
I did download and install thie patch. But when I did the big honkin' Windows Update and took all the critical/security patches - Yahoo Messenger stopped working, Windows file search stopped working, and Windows Media Player crashed immediately on starting. So I'm a little leery of that big "Windows Update" button, thank you very much. And if I was an admin with a lot of systems to patch, I'd be even more worried.
I did the Windows Update thing as soon as I installed XP Pro. Then the Windows File Search stopped working, Yahoo Messenger stopped working, and Windows Media Player wouldn't start at all. The fix was to re-install XP. Maybe that's why some people haven't/don't/won't use(d) Windows Update. The File Search issue is a known problem, according to Windows Annoyances, but I've never seen a mention of exactly which patch _breaks_ which other piece of the system!
My first ('72?) was a four-function (+-*/) red LED. Best trick (and possible first use of 733T-speak) was some story to tell while punching in some numbers and doing some operations - and the answer was the subject of this message - or "ShellOil" when you rotated the calculator 180 degrees. Anyone remember that story?
Eventually upgraded to an HP-15C in high school, and I haven't bought a calculator since (almost 25 years ago). The 15C is still sitting at my desk at home.
Let your wife cut off a toe of yours, and see if you can walk without a limp. I broke a toe a few years ago and couldn't walk without limping for at least a week or two. Hurt like hell.
If she won't cut it off, I'll be happy to drop a 25 pound weight on it - that's how I broke mine.
The article says n-grams are "Phrases like these, called "N-grams" (with N representing the number of terms in a given phrase)". I've always used n-grams as character counts, using a sliding window over the text. For example, the 5-grams of the phrase "for example" would be
[for e][or ex][r exa][ exam][examp] and so on.
Using n-grams this way helps with things like mis-spellings. Mr. Metlin (parent of this) used the character definition is his paper. N-grams are widely used in Information Retrieval Research.
Been using RC3, installed 1.4 over top of it (maybe that was a mistake?). Now it locks up when I try to send mail - locks up and has to be killed via task manager. Anyone else seen this happen? (Windows XP)

No doubt she's on the OSDN singles network, sign up and check her out! ;-)
Especially when you could be using EarthShell! Encourage your local fast food place to use it.
No.
Women are _software_, you insensitive clod!

Me: This is your new computer.
Secretary: It looks complicated...
Me: Don't worry, you can't break anything. It won't let you.
Secretary: Ok, let me try this new Mandrake CD, it's supposed to be cool and easy to use. Let me just put it in this Dell.....
Me: Ooops.
But, instead they just fired the guy
And I bet noone does it again!
or you'll realize that noone really _wants_ to be in contact with you!
I say Gray Davis for President!
But make it a real test - send them to RMS!
Oops. My bad on that one. It was before my first cup of coffee, _early_ this morning!
No, but if you listen real carefully, you might hear a chorus of "We are here, we are here, we are here!" (Dr. Seuss)

Wait, you have a girlfriend? You don't really belong here, do you? This is Slashdot.
They can have my Linux, when they pry it from my cold dead fingers.

Damn, I feel old.
You don't think you'd be in pain if you had a toe cut off? Like I said, try it sometime.

They mis-spelled a couple words though. Threw me off for a second. ;-)
Ah, so you must live in Maryland? I think I've seen you around!
