For those who say CSS doesn't work right in IE or Mozilla, the CSS Zen Garden will prove them wrong. Almost every design on this site works with IE5+ and Mozilla. To see such beautiful, fast, standards-compliant, and workable designs not break for 95% of web browsers on the web today is quite amazing.
I hate to say it, but there are what, maybe a few thousand people who even know what Ogg Vorbis is and even fewer that actually use it.
The amount of effort required to port a decoder to a particular portable music player is probably way more then the rewards of a few more people buying their product.
The amount of protential profit must be at least the amount spend on development tools, employee salaries, etc, if not more.
Trust me on this. They aren't going to go through the effort if it ends up making them lose money doing it.
My university uses an Exchange 2003 server for its e-mail. Well apparently this patch breaks logon using Outlook Web Access on that server. Turns out the username and password is in the URL being sent to the server, the same thing this patch kills.
Not sure if this is the way it is with every Exchange server or if it is how my university's server is configured, but if you use OWA you might want to be careful with this patch.
Man I wish the professors here used this service. You people have no idea how many college students cheat and copy each other's work. One of my roommates actually uses the same work his brother used 3 years ago when he went here.
Here am I working my ass off because I believe in doing my own work so I can learn while everyone else tries to cheat.
To me, Revolutions has come the closest to accomplishing what the first Matrix did. The plot was so much better, flowed nicely, and the dialog was easy to understand yet had those hidden philosophy messages which is what made the first movie so successful.
The special effects were amazing as well.
What got me was the amazing ending. It was unexpected in someways, but totally made sense when you consider everything that happened in the movie.
Also there still is enough unanswered questions that another trilogy could be created if they ever wanted to. They will probably wait 10-20 years before doing another trilogy if they ever wanted to.
It is a huge pain in the butt, especially considering that I have not found an easy way to mass delete comments with Movable Type yet...so I have to go to each comment individually and delete them.
This past week alone I cleaned out about 20 spam comments.
people aren't licensed/educated properly to use the internet. So how will they know that they have to update virus definitions and patch their systems? By e-mail notifications? When I used to work for a local ISP doing tech support, most people only checked their ISP e-mail once a month for their monthly statements, they instead had hotmail accounts for their regular e-mail. We would have to call customers non-stop to remind them to check their ISP e-mail for their bill. Now we would have to call them for their weekly virus breakout?
The key is some type of manditory education before you can advocate fines. My grandmother doesn't know a thing about antivirus protection, she just expects it to work. My grandmother doesn't know a thing about Windows Update, because she assumes the computer is safe.
So what can I do? There is no easy answers, but I guarentee fines are the last resort since none of the other options have been tried at a large scale.
I'm a senior at SNHU and this is what I have observed.
There was a noticable slowdown on Saturday and Sunday (when all freshmen moved in), but the network didn't go down. I imagine probably some of it was the normal freshman Internet traffic since many of them never had fast internet before, the rest was from Blaster.
Returning students arrived on Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday the network got slower and SLOWER and SLOOOOWEERRR then crashed about mid-afternoon. Didn't come up until yesterday morning.
RA's and orientation leaders were given CD's with the patch, fix tool, and virus definition files for various popular virus scanners.
Knowing this university, there will still be people unpatched come next May since no one has gone door-to-door to verify everyone's computers.
Oh and some students randomly can't get on the internet. Noticed today I had an IP address conflict, so I got a suspcion that the DHCP server has also ran out of IP addresses.
My girlfriend goes to NEC and their network has been totally down since Sunday. Basically they are going to go to each computer and patch it before they turn the network on. For some reason they insisted on attempting to patch her computer even though she showed them it was running Windows 98 SE (which isn't effected by Blaster), just like I told her to do. *sigh*
This new spacecraft NASA is working on actually sounds like something that will work. Seems like they are trying to keep it as close as possible to the K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Stupid) principle.
The cheaper and more reliable something is, the better off we are.
...oh whoops, the DRM is only 100 times more restrictive and whoops, the WMA quality is worse then AAC. Kind of reminds me of the difference between OS X and Windows XP.
IBM has announced today that it has terminated SCO's right to existance. A tomb stone has been made that says "R.I.P. SCO, You ungrateful bastards." and has a holographic penguin to the top of the inscription that continiously pisses on the letters S-C-O.
Why does your blog and web site, from what I can tell, not mention any uses of technology that you would like to see? Can you describe any protential plans to use technology to reduce costs or provide more benefits for the same price?
"Ever spent hours trying (and failing) to get a printer driver to work on Linux? Struggled to configure something ever-so-slightly out-of-the-ordinary?
Whoa thought we had one of those infamous TV commericals that last a half/full hour and talk about some amazing plastic $0.01 tool from China is going to fix it all up for the amazing price of $19.95 with free shipping. I was waiting for the "and wait there is more" moment too.
Thanks for getting my hopes up. Who the hell cares about a book on Linux annoyances.

They aren't missing it. Scroll all the way to the right of the window and WordPress is the last on the list.
I agree with you, WordPress is by far the easiest, most expandable, and best blogging software out there. I absolutely love it.

The joke is over. Must be a typo. Seriously, how much are they fining them?
That must be $100 Billion right?
Please?!?!?!

II's? You mean Apple II's? Think of the children!

Exchange server support. Unfortunately I must use it at work and at school, which also means I must use Outlook.

Slashdot can't even provide a link for an address in an article? Editors must be slacking today.
Going to sell a deck of cards showing the faces of SCO management and lawyers?
SCO sucks, Linux rules, and the GPL is God
Does the music industry need some type of reform, especially in the area of contracts and artist rights?
