Hollywood is a place that's always looking for something new to excite it's audience, to make lots and lots of money. Sure - we've seen time and time again the guy with big muscles take down a whole force of terrorists single-handed with elite karate moves and fast reflexes with a gun. I think it's just Hollywood - Ask a karate expert on how accurate some of the fighting is, especially for how easy they can "take out" someone.
Same with computers. People must remember though, despite "The Net" I was always fascinated with movies of it's kind, like terminator and the matrix, both which show the human reliance on technology and the possible outcomes. Of course, you won't see anyone in the movie "hackers" exploit a linux system, it would lose the audience. Instead, movies like it make GUI's simply to show the computer illiterate exactly what they are doing without any technical jargon. (Like in Hackers when the kid is screwing the the school's sprinkler system). The more exciting they can create something, the better the outcome of people liking the movie, hense hollywood cashing in. It's simple - while I do think it's a bunch of bullshit, chances of creating a technically-correct movie when probably half the viewers use AOL is unlikely.
Will this hard drive exceed the limit of LBA? I still can't believe that they haven't just created a BIOS efficent enough to hold enough cylinders, heads and sectors for the new drives.
Needless to say, we're still putting a floppy controller on motherboards. Thank iomega for that. Hello? some industry standards here?
I personally think Apple is doing this because they are strongly focusing on building their customer-base back up.
Apple doesn't make the G4 - Motorola does. Apple would be getting royally screwed financially if they allowed upgrades from the G3 to G4 - they wouldn't be making any money whatsoever, only motorola.
Same reason why all PC's are built proprietary (compaq, packard bell, acer, ibm) - they are only upgradable to a certain point, then after that they expect you to buy a new one. The thing is, people fall for it... And the companies profit big.
As an X-Phile this can't be true. It seems the only reason people quit shows these days is over money - damnit, if I were in duchovny's position I would stop whining and continue the show. Hell, he's got millions of fans, let's all send him a dollar to cheer him up.
No doubt Linux is great - the most flexible OS i've ever used. But - the only concern I can see is the way most distributions come - preinstalled with everything from apache to telnet.
In an environment especially with 911 dispatching, security is an essence. No one can deny the threat of exploits, especially where one could use an exploited linux box to get to a dispatch server.
My only concern is that while Linux has the potential to take over the software OS market, I don't think that a 911 dispatch workstation would need much more than the power of linux - not a bunch of daemons waiting to be possibly exploited.
However, in this case, it looks like whoever is running the show has a good head on his shoulders.
Get Xing's audiocatalyst - affordable, everything you'd want in an encoder, and it's fast. Much faster than blade and other encoders i've seen. It's worth buying - i've tried alot, and this has made my ripping too easy. Needs windows...
You're missing the point. What if a company like Bess decided to ban slashdot in it's entirety for one comment made that was "inappropriate"?
Just as if Bess decided to ban all of Geocities, or ban yahoo.com because of it's inapproriate search results? There would be huge liability suits - profits would be lost.
Yeah, there's an idea. Then again, public access to internet terminals would be the ideal hack spot, especially in a fast food restarurant. Equipment upkeep, constant spills and lame customers who will have something else to complain about besides the food - "my terminal just froze, let me speak to the manager".
There's no way this will ever fly. However, I would go for the idea of having an ethernet jack at every booth in any restaurant for laptops.. now that would rock...
I think eventually we will be running short on IP addresses, especially with more and more ISP's buying up subnets for dialup customers. The numbers will only keep growing.
There's no way in hell if we do run out of IP addresses that we will add another subnet. That's billions of programs that would have to be re-written again to understand more addresses. It eventually will be an internet "y2k", people looking back and saying "why didn't we think of this before?".
Frontpage 2000 looks pretty good for WYSIWYG.. It writes code pretty clean compared to eariler versions. I think it's always best to start with WYSIWYG, then take it to Homesite and clean up the code. It always counts to get a good visual perspective instead of the never-ending code/preview/code/preview.

Well - looks like the imac pictures are removed.
any chance someone can mirror them? i'm dying to see the pics
Heh - in other words, the government either has the technology or the keys to encryption algorithums - I don't think they would be that stupid.

I wonder how many of these things would melt.
Anyone knows that when plastic burns it emits a toxic gas. Perhaps it's deliberate.

CyberPatrol is fucked in the head.
This definitely is an issue that could be taken to court.
Especially if there as a website with no objectionable material on the same server that makes money and it's being blocked by Cyber Patrol.
More than likely in the outcome, Cyber Patrol would be forced to ban specific URL's instead of whole websites.
One could probably sue for damages.
It's like banishing all Jews from America for a few jew's crimes.
That is Bullshit - it's not a feature, it's nothing but worn technology.
I'd like to see how the tests round up when they benchmark NT5 with FAT32.
