but then I got that crazy white guy act going for me. I walked through some of the toughest streets in the nearest urban city and never got mugged once.
Just talk to yourself a lot. Say "I got no hot water in the apartment, nobody wants to hire me, landlord wants his rent now, if one more person hassles me I am going to beat the crap out of them!" or something like that.
Also use a beaten up old bag to carry the laptop, PDA, iPod, and other stuff in. I suggest a visit to the Army Surplus store, a camouflage bag that looks big enough to carry a few guns or rifles might just do the trick. It is all, in perception. If they perceive you as a potential victim, they will mug you. If you look and act like a poor crazy person who might be carrying a gun or two in that bag, they leave you alone.
I suggest you use old beaten up headphones that are black, look like the ear covers are worn, and hide the iPod in a large pocket or in the bag, so it appears to be a cheaper cassette player or something. Never take it out in plain sight to complete the illusion.
The more annoying you are, the more likely they will leave you alone. Talk about how the government is out to get you, or some shadow group, or something. If you see the muggers, yell out that they are spies here to overthrow the government and draw attention to them. They might just run away once they see how crazy you are.
It works for me, not sure if it can work for you. Make sure you wear old clothes over good clothes and then change in a bathroom somewhere and put the old clothes into the bag.
Use Linux for a cheap hand held device. Use VideoLAN to play media files. Hack the interface to work on a B&W 640x480 LCD screen, with optional S-Video output jack to play on a TV set or other media device. Use buttons to control the interface, but provide USB ports to plug in mice, keyboards, etc. Use Firewire or Ethernet to communicate with a PC to transfer files. Find cheap PIM software to use it like a PDA as well.
Perhaps it can be priced under the cost of an iPod?
If you just want another number with a different area code for receiving faxes and voicemail, consider EFax or J2/JFax you can get a free account not in your area code, and it will send all faxes and voicemails to your email address. If you pay extra, you can get the ability to send faxes over the Internet from that number, get a 1-800 number, change the number to a local one, etc.
I had two of my XP systems down because of all the virus infections going around. Four different virus scanners detected nothing, but people claimed I might be infected. So while I reformatted two XP systems just to make sure, I had Lindows/Linspire running for my email, web server, etc. I even created some documents in OpenOffice.org and sent them to people using MSOffice and they opened them with no problems.
Linspire is like the MS version of Linux, easy to install and configure. Linspire also wants you to use the CNR interface to install and buy software from.
Apt-get is disabled and so is rpm.
Edit/etc/apt/sources.lst to take out the comments on the sources and then run:
apt-get install man apt-get install rpm apt-get install gcc
Then create/etc/lib/rpm/ and run
rpm --initdb rpm --rebuilddb
You now can use apt-get and rpm to install software. Just be careful what you install, some KDE libraries will wreck the Linspire KDE modified libraries.
Bummer that the install CD for Linspire only formats and does not reinstall the OS when a problem happens. So back up all your data before a reinstall of Linspire should you hose up the KDE libraries or something.
Lindows/Linspire does not run Windows code, unless you use WINE or buy Win4Lin. Otherwise Linspire is virus free.
Linspire does use the same file types that Windows uses, without using Windows code. Office documents, media files, etc. Except for Outlook and Access data files, and maybe without MSPublisher files. Linspire is marketed as a replacement for Windows that is an alternative to running Windows. It is for newbies, not experts who need a CLI shell and can build packages from tarballs. Yet the tools to do more advanced stuff are available as I outlined above.
I recall a Linix (Not Linux, but a Unix clone caled Linix for the C64) and GeOS being alternatives to the OS that the C64 used.
I also recall the ARP (AmigaDOS Replacement Project) for the Amiga.:)
All ReactOS seems to be is a replacement project to replace Windows. A better Windows than Windows, sounds like they borrowed that from OS/2.:)
ReactOS may not be worthwhile now for the average Windows user, but once Microsoft turns on us all and releases Longhorn that does not run Windows code, ReactOS may be ready to run enough Windows apps to matter.
The question is, will ReactOS also run the Windows Malware as well? Or will they have a "Sandbox" to prevent Malware infections?
P.S. Remember Freedows? Whatever happened to that project? I thought it was cool. Now it just vanished off the face of the Earth!
As an actual pirate, I resent the fact that the name pirate is being used to describe people who use file sharing networks to download music or video files. Now as a pirate I work extra hard to keep up a fearful image so ships I attack will be more willing to surrender. Lately they just laugh at me and tell me to quit using apps like Kazaa or else I will be sued by the RIAA. I do not use Kazaa or any other file sharing app, I am a real pirate, not a file swapper! When I want a CD, I just attack a ship carrying CDs and I get to pick as many as I choose.
My profession is now a laughing stock, because of the unfair comparison to file swappers. Therefore I propose you change the terminology from "pirate" to "file swapper" in your bills and laws. Then I can get back to real pirating, and hope you nimrods don't catch me.;)
How dare you use guerilla tactics on us! We outnumber you, we outtech you, come on out into the open and fight like a moron!
Dang, another sniper attack.
Ok, maybe you didn't hear me, come on out into the open and fight like a moron!
Ouch, who fired that RPG?
Maybe you didn't understand me? I said come out of hiding and fight like a moron!
Look out, grenade! Everyone duck and cover!
Hey you, you don't fight fair, come on out in the open and fight like a moron!
Sniper attack again!
Let me boot up this Windows Tablet PC and see if it can help me translate this into their language. Ah no, blue screen of death! All my smart gear is down now! Must be that virus that is going around. Even my machine gun is jammed, it runs Windows too.
Hey, no fair using viruses! You guys play dirty!
-----------------
Yes you need all the advantages you can get in the battlefield. Don't go out into the open and fight like a moron. Also don't use Windows for critical mission systems that need to be online 24/7.
Make a smart helmet with a heads-up display that can track the direction that a bullet or RPG was launched from. Then have a sensor on your gun or rocket launcher that displays crosshairs in your heads-up display so you can match the direction and fire back. Let us see if Osama the Llama can match that technology.;)
License "Statisfaction" by the Rolling Stones an parody a Microsoft Windows commercial.

Then near the end stop the music, show someone running Linux with no problems, then show a message "Can't get any satisfaction, try a Linux solution by IBM and get some satisfaction!"
Genius! Brilliant! I am not just saying that because I thought it up!;)
to take the red and green pixels and move them slightly off a bit like a real 3D movie does. The shadows and other details will be seen as 3D.
I recall that there was photo editing software that did this to 2D picture images, so it is possible to do it to a 2D movie in real-time should the CPU be fast enough to do it.
To quote that Wendy's lady from the 1980's "Where's the beef?" I searched those sites and could not even find a demo! Is it vaporware or real?
I did some computer work for a Thai Buddist Monk for free. I showed him how to reformat his laptop and install the Thai version of Windows 98 on it. He bought the Thai version, but did not want the junk that gets preloaded with the laptop. I taught him how to do it, so he could do it himself and teach other Monks how to do it.
I do not feel ripped off, I gained some good Karma out of it. He said a prayer for me, which I think was cool.
I sometimes do charity or pro-bono computer work for the poor, it helps me get a good reputation. Then people who have money ask me to fix their computer problems and they offer to pay me for it, seeing how good a job I did on the other systems.
it is a social engineering trick called Phishing. Email pretends to be from Paypal or a bank, etc, and tells the user to log in and reactivate their account.
The email is HTML and uses images from the original site, but has an activation link that goes to an IP address in China to a bogus webpage that looks like Paypal or the bank. The victim then enters their user ID and password and bank account, credit card, SSN, mother's maiden name, etc and then it says their account is now activated. Then the Phisher reads their database and steals the victim's identity and transfers all their money to their bank account, and maxes out the credit cards, etc.
Please do not call it hacking, there is no hacking involved any more than a 419 scam is hacking. It is a scam, pure and simple, like a 419 scam. It is social engineering like the 419 scam, to get information out of the victim to steal their money. The Phising scam makes the 419 scam look tame.
People in China are not the only ones who do it, yet I see a lot of these Phishing scam mails going to my inbox that originate from China.
Also after the victim is Phished, they can be Doxed, that is the Phisher can create profiles based on the victim and enter whatever bogus information they want and display it on the Internet. All of a sudden Fred Jones has a profile that says he like child p0rn, and is gay, and has new email accounts that are sending out Phising scams, in the hopes of blaming him for the activity. People can be Doxed without the Phising Scams, which happened to me before. Also another Scoop site had the editors heads photoshopped on a p0rno pic by a hostile user, which is a form of Doxing. Doxing is also not hacking either.
Both Doxing and Phishing are the lowest forms of scamming next to the 419. It takes no real skill to do so, just BS a lot, and steal someone else's web page. There are kits going around to do Phishing, etc.
is that before "Generations" Kirk gets caught in a transporter accident that sends him back in time to "Enterprise" during a major battle. Archer is not slick enough to win the battle, so Kirk gives him advice. Then they win, and Kirk teches them transporter technology from his century and they rig up another transporter to send Kirk back to his timeline. Of course Kirk does it with an ancestor woman of his and due to a contreceptive accident and becomes his own great-great-great-great-grandpa and now has two heads, three arms, and answers to the name Zaphod.;)
Meanwhile Roddenerry and Adams duke it out in Heaven on pay-per-view there.;) Why are all the good Sci-Fi writers dead?;)
Of course this has nothing to do with the unwritten policies that many IT Departments have of not hiring anyone above the age of 45, right?;)
I know of people above that age that are actually discriminated against in the IT field. Usually the employer makes up some excuse, like overqualified, to avoid hiring someone of this age. Then they turn around a hire a youngster fresh out of college aged 21 to 30. Since I passed 30, my job offers went down as well. The closer you are to retirement, the less likely they will want to hire you.

You'll never get a good answer from one of our tech support lines.

Dang, Slashdot ate my greater than and less than symbols, I selected plain text, but it read it as HTML anyway! Those are supposed to be not equals on the metadata.category where clauses.
the metadata can help us have more accurate searches. Like filter out advertising and porn sites, because they have to be catagorized with the metadata. I want to find out information on Pink Floyd, but I do not want to see porn sites, or web sites that want to sell me Pink Floyd merchandise.
Select url, keywords, metadata, description, subject from webarchive Where keywords.key = "Pink Floyd" and metadata.category "Porn" and metaData.category "Advertising" and metadata.category "Webstore" Organize by subject
Something like that, since it is a database I assume it is using a variation of SQL?
If the web site has pop-ups or spyware/adware, we can categorize that in the metadata and filter out those kind of searches.
I saw it in 1977 and it has all the elements of an Opera in Space. Hence a Space Opera.
Can it be saved? After the same old stuff over and over again, and the story for the first three being told in the 4th, 5th, and 6st episodes, the audience isn't exactly going to be suprised at the results of the first three episodes.
Blah, watch "S1m0ne" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0258153/ it should be in the dollar bin of the video rental stores by now. Replace all the actors and actresses with computerized ones and make your own Space Opera. Licence Star Wars, and somehow tie it into Star Wars. See what happens.;)
Someone just posted the DIVX version of Star Wars III: Birth Of The Empire in IRC and the File Sharing networks.
I got a quick view of it, but someone in a Jarjar Binks costume in the theatre got in front of the guy with the video camera during the final fight scene in the lava and I missed it.
Those Internet Pirates are very quick to release these movies before the actual release dates, or even before the movie is finished! Must be "Spaceballs" fans?;)
if it takes 3 to 5 hours to install OSX on a Pear emulator on a X86 box, I think I'd be better off without it, or buying a real Mac to run it on.
I mean it sounds like it is even slower than Bochs, which when I used it with Win98, I thought it was really slow, to the point of not being usable. I myself would have no use for it, esp if Apple forbids the running of OSX on Non-Mac hardware.
Now what has JBoss learned from this, besides using machines with various dial-up accounts to different states and clean the cookies out after every use?;)
it might help to lower the cost if we use standard off the shelf parts instead of fabercating our own.
Just need a double-throw relay interface for the box to access the various devices it will set off. Like in a firehouse it needs to flicker the lights in the shower, etc. Everyone in the firehouse should know that there is a real emergancy going on, so a device is needed for every room. Figure about 12 to 15 double-throw relay interfaces. It will be a matrix that can be controlled, and one or more of those relays might send data to a printer or image device with more info on the emergency. I'd like to use Wifi, but it is too insecure to manage, plus someone could block it easily. Maybe a CAT5/CAT6 network as well? I figure throw in SAMBA on an Ethernet and print out the emercency details to a networked printer or file server somewhere.
and can be programmed for things like voice over IP, image displays, real streaming audio, and perhaps have a small build in web server that can be used to configure or interface with another system. Security is a must, everything must be encrypted and password protected. I thought about using GPG for encryption for data packets the dispatch system sends to each 911 CAD box. We don't wany any false alarms or crackers tampering with the boxes.
Windows and DOS simply won't do, not stable enough for a 24/7 realtime environment. Also very insecure. Linux or Embedded Linux seems to be ideal.

but then I got that crazy white guy act going for me. I walked through some of the toughest streets in the nearest urban city and never got mugged once.
Just talk to yourself a lot. Say "I got no hot water in the apartment, nobody wants to hire me, landlord wants his rent now, if one more person hassles me I am going to beat the crap out of them!" or something like that.
Also use a beaten up old bag to carry the laptop, PDA, iPod, and other stuff in. I suggest a visit to the Army Surplus store, a camouflage bag that looks big enough to carry a few guns or rifles might just do the trick. It is all, in perception. If they perceive you as a potential victim, they will mug you. If you look and act like a poor crazy person who might be carrying a gun or two in that bag, they leave you alone.
I suggest you use old beaten up headphones that are black, look like the ear covers are worn, and hide the iPod in a large pocket or in the bag, so it appears to be a cheaper cassette player or something. Never take it out in plain sight to complete the illusion.

I got a quick view of it, but someone in a Jarjar Binks costume in the theatre got in front of the guy with the video camera during the final fight scene in the lava and I missed it.
Those Internet Pirates are very quick to release these movies before the actual release dates, or even before the movie is finished! Must be "Spaceballs" fans?
if it takes 3 to 5 hours to install OSX on a Pear emulator on a X86 box, I think I'd be better off without it, or buying a real Mac to run it on.
I mean it sounds like it is even slower than Bochs, which when I used it with Win98, I thought it was really slow, to the point of not being usable. I myself would have no use for it, esp if Apple forbids the running of OSX on Non-Mac hardware.
no matter what organization uses it.

Now what has JBoss learned from this, besides using machines with various dial-up accounts to different states and clean the cookies out after every use?
Why not Yellow Dog Linux for PPC, why not AmigaOS 4.X, why not MacOS 9.X, why not the PPC version of BeOS? Anyone tried those yet?
it might help to lower the cost if we use standard off the shelf parts instead of fabercating our own.
Just need a double-throw relay interface for the box to access the various devices it will set off. Like in a firehouse it needs to flicker the lights in the shower, etc. Everyone in the firehouse should know that there is a real emergancy going on, so a device is needed for every room. Figure about 12 to 15 double-throw relay interfaces. It will be a matrix that can be controlled, and one or more of those relays might send data to a printer or image device with more info on the emergency. I'd like to use Wifi, but it is too insecure to manage, plus someone could block it easily. Maybe a CAT5/CAT6 network as well? I figure throw in SAMBA on an Ethernet and print out the emercency details to a networked printer or file server somewhere.
and can be programmed for things like voice over IP, image displays, real streaming audio, and perhaps have a small build in web server that can be used to configure or interface with another system. Security is a must, everything must be encrypted and password protected. I thought about using GPG for encryption for data packets the dispatch system sends to each 911 CAD box. We don't wany any false alarms or crackers tampering with the boxes.
Windows and DOS simply won't do, not stable enough for a 24/7 realtime environment. Also very insecure. Linux or Embedded Linux seems to be ideal.
