I haven't seen that utility in SuSE 9.0 but I know Knoppix 3.2 comes with a utility (don't know what it's called off hand) that can change all of the SSID options. You can also tweak other features like home SSID with it.
I have SuSE 9.0 installed on several homebuilt/factory machines (Dell laptop, 2 desktops, PVR Box) and have had no problems with true Plug-n-Play. It automatically detected, installed, and DHCP addressed PCMCIA WaveLAN cards in all 3 machines. (WinXP doesn't do this) If you're using a commom WiFi device such as a Linksys WAP and a common wireless card, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet you'll have no trouble with network configuration. There's SuSE's YAST tool to help you out with the hardware if you do run into trouble though.
It's been said by SEC representatives already (as posted in other forums and here on/.) that SCO and Darl do not represent enough "pump-n-dump" to affect the current market. In other words, he's not even on thier radar.
But if I spent upwards of $100,000 on my superior autonomous vehicle collision avoidance system, then I should have reasoable assurance that your inferior collision avoidance system will not become self-aware while in the race. Because it could then suddenly realize in a flash of logic that its one true purpose is to ram all other vehicles on the course and declare itself the winner.
Ummm, there has never been a time that you could not buy Meccano Erector Sets. Though the original Meccano factory did shut down, other factories in France and Argentina continue to build and sell the sets under a different company name: "Erector". Many of the newer sets have updated (read: plastic) pieces, but you can still get them at most real toy or hobby-type stores and you can (of course) order them online.
I wasn't accessing AOL network for any reason other than to chat. The RIAA accesses KaZaA with intent to crapflood, spread a virus or 2, and spy on KaZaA users. There is a difference..
Your point is valid, but then it's no longer just a case of framing a competitor with spam violations. Your talking about conspiracy and espionage now. But on the other side of the token, a company who has been framed with spam violations could even more easily manufacture evidence to the contrary. So my original case still applies here; any company worth having around (not a real spammer) would be able to afford the cost of pursuing reasonable doubt in court.
And again, it's not a matter of proving your server was hacked, the burden lies on the prosecution to prove that it ~wasn't~ hacked and that the company did in fact intend to spam.
It wouldn't be too difficult for Company B to mount a pretty solid reasonable doubt campaign in court. Besides, when was the last time you received Viagra spam from a large company that would be missed if fined out of existence?
I think the law is a good idea, but if the execution is flawed, it could be short-lived.
Flawed execution is what this is all about. Do you think Grey Davis has any intention of keeping this up? With the CA recall election now slated for
Oct 7th, he will do whatever he can to appeal to "the people" . Even if it's with empty legislation.
I think this will be useful only for desktops actually. Embedded devices do not usually run as many services as desktops. And the embedded Linux implementations seem to boot plenty fast as it is.
For example, my Linksys WAP boots up in about 10 seconds.
For a better embedded example, look at a Compaq iPAQ H3650 circa 3 years ago running Familiar Linux with the Opie desktop. It boots up in about 8 seconds. Then it's "instant" on/off unless you hard reset the device. It's also running more services than the default install.
I didn't say they were my heroes, I was using them as examples of artists who some fans may care about before they realize that the "artist" has only concern for thier wallet. However, if I were a fan (or former fan) of thier music, I don't see how a troll comment like yours could discount what I posted.
Have a nice day..
Of course the artists pay attention! For every Madonna who insults a fan interested in downloading her latest track, there's a David Bowie who would probably give all his music away for free; if he had some reasonable guarantee that everyone who grabbed his music would show up at the local Sponsor Amphitheater for his next tour, buy a $40 ticket and see him play live.
As this "RIAA vs. Its Customers" drama plays out, expect to see more artists fall on either side of the "Do I really care about the music?" fence. It has been somewhat heart-wrenching for some fans (including myself) of Madonna, Metallica, and others, to see thier musical heroes betray them in such a way.
The next big news in this case will be that the little girl slipped on the subpoena paperwork and fell down the stairs. Doctors say she may survive, but will most likely be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of her life.
And let's be reminded, that there is NO PROOF whatsoever.
That hasn't stopped them so far. I think the strategy they are using is forcing news reporters and investors to use thier language in regards to any questions they may have. If you try to ask them a question outside of thier realm, such as the first question of the conference call by the gentleman from the Wall Street Journal "Why don't you show the infringing code to the general public?". McBride answers "We have, we have made the code available to anyone who wants to see it". Totally ignoring the NDA. What reporters need to learn is the need to be VERY specific when asking McBride questions since he's obviously brushed up on his weasel-wording skills. I'd like to hear his answer if someone asked "Is the reason you have not made the code available for public viewing without a NDA or other restriction, that you do not wish to allow Red Hat or the general linux community the chance to remove the code?" If there was really a 100% airtight case for infringing code then it could not possibly hurt them to show the code. Even if it did risk the code being removed from a future kernel. The only reason to not publish the code is to make sure it stays in there to secure future extortion and FUD efforts by SCO.
Actually, you do not need to emulate the OBD computer in order to make changes. As long as this in-dash PC has a COM port software like this for VW and Audi vehicles can make any OBD/VAG controlled adjustments and record engine data in real time. Of course you can do this with a laptop but I can see the usefulness for those interested in performance tuning or adding another layer of security. Maybe like having to login to your car in order to start the engine.
If you say "mail me it", they often look in a confused way like "what? by snailmail"?
That's interesting because after years of e-mailing (read: using snail-mail only for bills and postcards), when someone mentions "mail" I almost always assume they mean "e-mail" unless they make it very clear that they are talking about snail mail. In fact I'd say the existence of the term "snail-mail" probably proves that "mail" is more and more used to mean "e-mail" in normal speech (non-written).
On the other hand, I think in written or typed language, "mail" tends to be very specific about meaning "sending it through the mail" or "snail mail".

You could get 4.0 PLE and 5.0 PLE. You just had to register for the download.
What's next? Maybe Microsoft will generate press by announcing that you can now (in 2003) download Internet Explorer for free.
You could download Maya Personal Learning Edition from thier website since 2002 (at least).
Good idea actually. I couldn't resist watching the trailer for Revolutions and now I'm a little pissed that they gave so much away.

I read somewhere that English and American intelligence officers used (verbal) techniques similar to this to identify spies during World War 2.
Well this is Nokia. The same company who brought you such well thought out UI navigation as "Options" and "Back" on the 2 main keypad buttons...

Is he really dead? I thought he was just on vacation or something. Maybe being lazy?
Then why don't they just turn it to 11?
But the only thing keeping the crack dealer more respectable in this lineup is that he will go to jail when he gets caught.
