It would really be nice to see one of these desktop efforts push ahead to a 3rd generation rendering technology (vector graphics) ala Aqua, instead of seeing all these Windows clones.
This is typical Mac zombie driveling. Macs aren't really affected by the ruling, because most Microsoft applications have been ported to there anyways (whereas Linux could benefit from an Office or Windows Media port, for example). And consider this lame quote: "With it's BSD/mach core and Aqua interface, Mac OS X starts to make serious inroads as a server operating system." laff.
Antibodies in your body have a greater variance in molecule-specific binding and are far easier to raise than virii. Just inject a rabbit with pulverized silicon wafer:)
maybe they should lower the price of Win2k. It's not "63,000 bugs" that's holding back Win2k, NT4 sp6 is a pretty damn good and stable OS - the only thing it's really lacking compared to Win2k is DirectX(and that's only important to gamers) (Win2k seems especially popular to upgraders from Win9x). Win2k is nice...far less rebooting scenarios and polished GUI and administrative tools. But once you have your NT4 box humming, why mess with it?
While source code is GPL'd, documentation isn't. Anyone could look at the source and document the class specs and charge for it. But in the spirit of open development and abstraction(I wouldn't want to spend time interpreting what a function does if someone else could tell me), perhaps future docs need their own public license. The pace of development would quicken and the barriers to entry (spending the time to figure out wtf something does so you can write code based on it) would lower.
If this is some kind of organized attack or conspiracy, they're aiming for the big brand name sites to generate publicity. AOL wouldn't be a good target because they're an ISP with too many connections and too large a network. Even www.aol.com would probably go unnoticed, even by the subscribers. We're talking about sites like: GeoCities Xoom ETrade C|Net Amazon
It's easy enough for any company to use high-throughput computerized methods to screen, sequence, and roughly characterize genes (based on commonly known patterns i.e. a protein folding pattern) and/or homology to recognized genes of other species. Should they be awarded a patent based on this skimpy information alone? Such patents can stifle research into further understanding of a particular gene...after all, why research a gene or its transcripted product when some company owns the patent to it, and any potential benefits would have to be shared or controlled by them? Another issue mentioned were ESTs(expressed sequence tags)-small sequences of mRNA reverse-transcribed and matched to its corresponding genome location. The article indicated patents have been awarded based on EST information alone (which doesn't cover the complete sequence nor other factors such regulatory elements), which is scary because any startup can claim ownership to thousands of genes using ESTs, and not know a damn thing about the gene.
If anything, UT is being rushed...it's OpenGL and Direct3D code still isn't all that (compared to Glide). But everyone knows how sucky the Q3A bots still are.
Having lived in DC (in the middle of NW)the past 3 years, the only thing that makes DC "more wired" is nearby AOL (and alot of other companies across the river in Virginia). In the metro DC area itself, they've only started rolling out cable modems, and the current DSL options barely covers any location.
Haha, I had three computers sitting out with a blinking network hub in between when the Mediaone cable guy came to install. I told him to hook up my crappy P200 (other boxes are PII and PIII with all sorts of nice stuff attached) to the modem. Odd that there were 2 NICS on that P200;) He explained Mediaone's policy of one modem per computer and that it couldn't be networked, but he didn't give a damn. I unhooked the CAT5 to the P200 as not to technically violate the TOS agreement.
I currently am subscribed to mw.mediaone.net in the Detroit area, and I'm very happy with the service and overall throughput. The 2 other subscribers I know have also experienced very few problems as well.
Hmm, so IBM can basically grab any file off your computer... A note about the biological immunity model...According to clonal selection theory, our bodies can react to every conceived and nonconceived antigen. Now this makes for alot of B cells (the cells that produce the antibodies), making our immune systems the largest organ of our bodies, based on cell count. Also, our immune systems are only good at protecting against a second attack, as it takes the body some time to recognize the first attack and respond to it. So what does this mean for the mentioned anti-viral software? Bloatware that reacts too late. Or you could just stop using Windows and Office.

Except that a Java app won't use Aqua, is not always the best language to code in, and some people just prefer another language.

The actual code and executables take up very little space in relation to all the artwork you'd find in a typical PC game.
Tom received quite a bit of hate after the "Voodoo is dead" thing. But look...a year later he was right.
The new Abit(every OC'er's favorite company) VT6X4 has a FSB of 150 mhz (1/4 PCI bus speed).
That would depend if the option price is set to the annual(or quarterly) high or low. Who knows, maybe some Microsft employees are glad this happened.

An inflatable heat shield in an environment (entering the atmosphere) with changing pressure? Sounds like an expensive but fun test to watch.

*cough* it was actually Windoze 98.
I think he plans to release the Quake source once all the games licensing the engine have been released (Ion Storm).
And not the latest Caldera version? 2.2 (or 2.3) may have some bugs in the installation, but generally, it's as easy as installing Windows.
Hmm, I couldn't find anything explicit in the Mediaone service agreement about not running ftp/http servers.

I just want the clip of the final lightsaber scene (with the Gungan battle edited out).
