Sometimes, People are driven by pure ideas only without too much experience in consumer market.
1. Inventor has to be the in the shoes of an actual user before releasing the new technology. 2. Invention has to be justified before being introduced to the market. Market research anyone? 3. I am not sure how much research xerox did on the need of the reprintable materials? 4. If the regular paper isn't obtion to be refed into the printer, which will cause the break down
of the pick-up rod on the poor printer...then some other materials would have to be invented. 5. there are 3 ways product can be introduced.
a. paper like thin layered palstic may be introduced which can be used instead of paper.
paper won't fold or creased...and materials will be protected from coffee, soda and water?
maybe it will be foldable and creasable...but the heating up the material will flatten out
the plastic paper..
b. maybe low cost storage bin will be introduced. Where paper can be stored before being used
again. Maybe, ink is heat sensitive...only losing the print when heated up artificially
while creases formed on the paper is being flattended out again in neat stack. Maybe with
combination of tech a + b together will form the usable solution.
c. maybe heating and flattening mechanism will be added onto new printer platforms heating and
pressing document flat befofe going into the actual printing process. Maybe, printer will
have two seperate bins. First bin will contain the brand new paper materials which will skip
the heat/press process when printing and there will be recycle print paper try which will go
through the full process of rejuvenating paper and actual printing process.
Hem...I think Xerox should hire people like me to the project. I have 7+ thinking cap on my head.
I used to tinker a lot when my time was relatively cheaper than commodity not so expensive hardware(college years).
Not anymore. My time is much more valuable than fiddling with linux boxes and I am not geeky enough anyway.
I would recommand thecus YESBOX for video collectors. Put two 750GB and set the box to the raid1 mode. Box isn't the fastest box on the net but it is useful while maintaining it's size small, quiet, and has physical on/off button to turn on/off without loggin into box remotely. It comes with two gigabit interfaces.
Search for keyword "thecus" on eBay. It's bit pricy but it takes out the hassel of system administration of your file storage.
My solution of the bit paranoid firewall would be something like my pentium 90Mhz running OpenBSD firweall in transparent firewalling mode. No ip just filtering of the tcp/udp stream in and out of the box. open ssh to linux box and enable serial tty on openbsd which can be connected through going to linux ssh first and then using tty to connec to OpenBSD via serial port tty emulation.:)
I hope this helps... I used to fun firewall tool kit on sparc2 and this was the way I've used to connect to my sparc2 firewall.

It's an offtopic question and I do apologize for posting it here. Can someone explain why there is no UNION for IT workers in US? I think there is some law from forming such union for IT workers. I think there is great need for UNION for an IT!!! Because there are unrealistic amount of works being thrown on IT staff's plate at this moment!!! Can someone help to explain? We as IT workers should learn from manual labor workers UNION and form one because we need it!!!
Jobs comes and goes, but life, and health and don't. It's very unhealthy for both IT person and company to rely on single person for carrying out the firm's IT needs, especially when customers are paying. It's something that customers might get upset when they find out that you operate fly by night.
Fly by night won't get you very far, and often it gets you to hospital.

BeOS was originally developed for BeBOX(custom ppc based smp box) and later started supporting 60x lines of PPC based Apple's Macintosh computers and power computing(Taiwan's mac licensed manufactural). With version 3.0 x86 versions started shipping. There were 3.0, 4.0, 4.5 then 5.0 Personal Edition and 5.0 Professional Edition.
I personally believe that BeOS doomed itself with expensive public relations fund spend heavily on BeOS Preview release 2(Remember those BeOS preview release shipped with Mac related magazines for free?) and decision to start selling x86 version. They started offering free version for 5.0 called 5.0 Personal edition, which were bit late(developers have migrated to linux world then...). So company were bought out by Palm.
However, right before they were bought out by Palm, there were two main project which disappeared all together.
BeIA with SONY eVilla project and Dano(BeOS 5.5 release). BeIA pretty much slipped away when Be had office equipment auction when they closed down the building along with some handheld devices(tablet computers loaded with BeIA).
I've heard rumors that after Sony seeing the utter failure of QNX based iOpner(which was immediately followed by another QNX based 3com'saudrey), axed eVilla and destroyed all produced units, so only surviving units are the ones that were auctioned off with BE office closing in CA(developer's machine?).
After BE was sold to Palm...however, BE source along with Dano was leaked over Beshare(beos centric p2p software).
So Dano(considered as unofficial release ver 5.1d0).
OpenBeOS movement started around this time. Now OpenBeOS has changed its name to Haiku-OS. http://www.haiku-os.org/.
Both BeOS Developer's Edition and BeOS Max revolves around Be's latest official release BeOS Personal Edition 5.0 + 5.0.3 upates and many new improvement which were contributed by a user community developed opensource softwares & drivers.
Here are some screen shots provided by Korean BeOS UserGroup. http://www.bekrage.net/gallery/view_album.php?set_ albumName=screen BeOS is nice because Localization stuffs were incorporated into GUI nicer than most other OS, making easier to support different language than English, especially where language isn't based on phonetic latin based alphabet languages such as Korean/Chinese/Japanese.

Currently, Haiku-OS programmers are plugging away diligently where OS is almost ready, where most of the bread and butter applications were already worked out! This is a nicer situation where applications are already there when OS still hasn't shipped, due to special current circumstances of BeOS.

I must say that there is reason for Microsoft's operating system keeps breaking down...
Remember, IBM wanted make OS/2 bullet proof because OS market wasn't their main source of profit for the big blue. For a microsoft, it makes sense to have keep putting out the half rotten fish on the plate. If restaurant were right next hospital where owners of both restaurant and hospitals were good pals.
Operating system seldom has real reason for going from verion 1.x to 2.x, and usually companies don't charge for going from version x.1 to x.2(ie. um...patch or service pack - that's something companies put out for it's own good because they've messed up somehow), because innovations which requires entire facelift of the operating system does not happen that often. I would say from dos to windows95 were big milestone and from windows95 to windows 2000. Everything else should have been free...except bill needed more money to burn in his research lab(Whatever happened to Cairo?).
Also, there were unexpected positive side effect from putting out half rotten fish. Often people got problem with windowsblue screen of death or some clever - more or less obvious hack to the huge hole hackers often drove train through), which made microsoft in the public view(headline of lots of media)...got unexpected media coverage. Under the normal business circumstances, this kind of follies would have surly sent company dead in the water for good, but like someone else in the slashdot community porinted, that people just don't care about the security flow or the ever slowing down / memory hungry deranged monster operating system of today's era. Other side effect would be that OS had so much problem that tech support firms and microsoft support actually profit from taking tech support calls from its customer and companies who's often found working together to create stuffs which works with windows.
Bottome line is that microsoft is doing it in purpose so people can keep waiting for that perfect OS which will not break down under normal circumstances like just browsing the web and checking e-mail. That's all my dad does and why did his computer break down with error message the other day? i don't see my father's VCR or Radio stop working with blue screen of death!!!
Um..not to menstion that they must willfully bloat it's os with so much stuffs that eventually their friend intel will be able to happly sell new upcoming pentium 5 running at 6Ghz. First time I bought my ps, standard memory size was at 4MB. Today's standard memory size is something like 256MB and it's on it's way to becoming 512MB... I wonder if 4GB memroy will ever become standard on consumer pc....
Oktokie
PS: can someone tell me why my windows swap when I have 1GB of memory onboard and my windows 2000 things my 750MB or physical memory not being used isn't good for any use....so it goes and merrily creates 200-300MB of virtual memory. This is just too funny.
Are you crazy...you'll know if you ever worked on video edition um...video rendering. Resizing video or changing the formats around requires video rendering which takes long long time. One of the reason people don't buy digital MD was that it took so long to load up with music. It took me about 30 min to load up single MD with around 25 music... I wonder how long it would take to put 25 movies into one of these thing if movie was cropped to smaller size and resolution.
I don't think these players compresses movies which is already compressed.

Not to mention that it's very very very hard to cancel AOL account.

I used to work with 100+ windows server. Not just managing them but doing some cutting edge stuffs with it. I installed hardware, installed windows on the system. It was a sheer nightmare...
because I wanted to do following stuffs and terminal services were horribly slow. It is always better to have 2nd option of having minial ways to tap into system when 1st option fails...windows did not have this option without 3rd party tools.
1) can someone tell me ways to configure {and|or} manage exchange server via telnet/ssh?
2) can someone tell me ways to configure {and|or} manage dns server via telnet/ssh?
3) can someone tell me why "net user" command has bug which isn't fixed with latest patch on my windows 2000 {professional | server}? Just try creating user with specific settings {group, password, users cannot change password check box settings - done by option & etc} on shell and it doesn't work quite right.
4) can someone tell me why some programs require "admininstrator" priv to modify registery. So, I am forced to grant console user an administrator priv in order for goddam program to work correctly. Is this a software issue or is this a design issue. ex) autocad will require it's user to have administrator priv to work correctly. And most of the games require administrator priv to work correctly. What happened to the paradigm of multi-user? Why does windows have different group when many applications must run as "administrator" in order to work right?
5) can someone tell me why as simple as changing hostname will have effect of screwing up CIF/SMB?
6) can someone tell me why I cannot mount different CIF/SMB mount which are associated with different identity? As network admin, I'd like to have access to different CIF/SMB. But, windows only allows me to the single identity. I am forced to sync all my password throughout the entire organization. Single point of failure is a very bad thing.
7) sometimes, I'd love to see "Browse" button and I miss it badly. It usually happens during upgrade of some sort. I'll just have blank page so, I'll have to type in the full path + filename. It usually happens during an installation of the device driver and aborting this will surely damage system's registery beyond who knows where it refuse to cooperative with my next attempt at installing a driver. ps: I've taken cd out of system and popped into my notebook just to read what the fullpath + filename and write down number of times.

Single point of failure is a very bad thing.
7) sometimes, I'd love to see "Browse" button and I miss it badly. It usually happens during upgrade of some sort. I'll just have blank page so, I'll have to type in the full path + filename. It usually happens during an installation of the device driver and aborting this will surely damage system's registery beyond who knows where it refuse to cooperative with my next attempt at installing a driver. ps: I've taken cd out of system and popped into my notebook just to read what the fullpath + filename and write down number of times.
