...but I'm all for banning Madonna's "Sex". That was a waste of a tree if I ever saw one. It had the format of a "coffee table" book, but who the hell is going to put that on their coffee table?
If I searched on the word "mail" or anything with the word "mail" in it, I got a "Forbidden" error from Google telling me I was unauthorized to see the results. I sent in two reports of it to Google - hope they don't mind!
I starting going to ebay first when I want a "new" CD. I look for second hand copies. I figure I have enough old CD's that I don't listen to any more - many are going on ebay on a regular basis. From the looks of ebay a lot of other people are in the same boat. Granted, this isn't a perfect solution but it does help limit the number of CD's that the RIAA makes money on. Why buy a new one and put more money in their pocket (along with the 50 cents or so the artists get) when there are so many neglected copies out there looking for a new home?
How long until all these users switch to new hardware?
Amiga.
Look at how long the Amiga fans have been holding onto that platform. If it wasn't for them, I would probably no longer remember what an Amiga even was. Same can be said for OS/2 - look at eComStation. Great products tend to outlast vendor interest.
Anyone getting PC's without at least 512MB these days is either cheap or buying Dell crap. Memory is installed in pairs (in quality machines anyhow), and who bothers wasting the energy required to pick up a 128MB dimm anymore?
One thing we do as a company is use a catch all address from our hosting provider, pull all the mail down with POPBeamer for Exchange, filter the mail with GFI's MailEssentials and MailSecurity, then deliver the mail to the correct mailbox with the Administrator getting all mail not otherwise deliverable. If you want to provide internal mail for a couple of people in your home, this process may be worth it. Otherwise, use the mail accounts your provider gives you (ours gives us 10,000 with our $20 a month hosting plan) and skip the catch all.
Good point about the read/writes. I didn't realize that. What about the USB speeds though? Aren't the newer sticks coming out in a USB 2.0 form factor?
...but it's a great idea. Imagine people everywhere could carry a USB jump drive of whatever you want to call them with everything they need on them - it's the ultimate in "mobile office". Still need the floppy I expect though, but it's a huge step in the right direction. Hey, just put an self extracting image of the floppy on the USB thing and extract it to a new floppy from a machine (with an installed OS) before booting with your USB thing.
I started using RedHat back at 4.2 or so. I used Mandrake from 6.2 till 8.1. As a desktop, it blew. I switched to SuSE when it was at 8.1 I believe and loved it immediately. So, from a long term Linux user, I apprecaite the professional feel of SuSE. Mandrake always felt like it was tossed together by a bunch of script kiddies and never worked right as a desktop OS for me. However, to be fair, I still have one Mandrake 7.2 server running around here someplace. It has been nothing short of reliable as a server. It's always up, does Samba, POP, IMAP, SMTP, DHCP, and at one point DNS as well for me.
I haven't tried out Fedora yet. Truth is I'm too busy to play with new distros any more and I'm happy with SuSE. If I had the time though, I'd certainly give it a shot. I like the idea that it's RedHat the OS without having RedHat the company manipulating it. RedHat started scaring me a few years back with MS like tactics. That was the original reason why I didn't stick with RedHat after 6.2 or so.
Technically it won't be a "channel" like we think of today. Instead, we will turn on our "TV" and watch whatever we want when we want. Instead of "PVRs" and TV schedules, everything will be on demand. However, I expect people will still await the next episode of their favorite show and will be tuning in as soon as it's released to the on demand system. Maybe it won't be so different after all - at least not at first!
I think it's a great idea to use references to three different time zones (EDT, GMT, PST) in the headline. That's not confusing at all. (I'm acutally not confused by it in the least, but come on people!)
Saw these up close a month or so ago at the ICC. So long as you don't go sticking your fingers in the socket to "check out" the newness, you shouldn't have a problem bending pins. Moving the pins off the CPU and using "pads" in their place should make CPU installation a bit easier, although I neve had a problem with the current layout.
Relying only on certs being a mistake is something anyone that has been in corporate IT for any amount of time already knows. However, calling the certs "useless" is probably going a step too far. Certs are good to a point, but experience and the quality of the individual are far more important.

Firefox is a browser, Thunderbird is an email client. The suite is still good if you need a web page editor or if you like everything in one package. Personally, I use IE only when I have to. I use Firefox the rest of the time, I occasionally startup the suite for page editing (usually I just use vim), and I always use Thunderbird for mail.
I think I'm hooked. It was just last year I started taking Nascar seriously, and now I'm finding some great stuff on the Speed channel. I used to watch Nascar back when I was a kid (70's and early 80's) just because I liked the "fast cars". Now it's more about the physics and math involved. I was really hooked on LeMans and to a lesser extent on the Indy race a couple of weeks ago. Now I'm saving up $100k for a new Audi.
Well, Microsoft released VSAPI and VSAPI2 in Exchange for this purpose, kind of. Vendors can use these API's to scan email messages that are in the store (the Exchange message database) and disinfect them. Instead of incorporating the functionality of a AV product into the OS, I'd rather see VSAPI improved (specifically to allow deletion, and some performance enhancements, although performance issues maybe more related to the AV products) and something like it included at the OS level to improve the file disinfection/deletion/quarantine functions of existing products.

And can I still use the "PHA" and "LRS" commands?
I'm not trolling here folks, but come on - a redesign of a website gets front page attention?

Agreed! I use at least 1 cup of sugar to a gallon of tea, and I'm in Jersey. Not just a southern thing at all! You do the conversions.

Fiat doesn't market their products here any more! Before seeing this article I always thought they had gone out of business about 20 years ago!
Sweet! Keep it up!

I've driven the following over the years and found all of them to be close to sticker mileage:
'02 Impala LS (3.8L, GM 3800 Series II)
'95 Bonneville (3.8L, GM 3800 Series II)
'88 Pontiac 6000 (3.5L I believe, fuel injected not carb)
I don't recall ever checking my '85 Grand Am, that had the Tech-4 in it.
...than any off the shelf Linux distro gives you, plus you still get to pay for it! Where do I get in line?

Nice to see some faster turn around times and everything coming together! I'm loving FF 0.9 and TB 0.7 so far.
WRX? Whoa, I'm in the over-30 crowd. Don't think I'd look too "stylin" in a kiddie car, no matter how big the powerplant under the hood.
