you lot get sicker by the day, google provides a damn decent service, and its for FREE!! Hear than, free, doesnt cost you any more to use it than the side walk. (Ok ok so you pay taxes, but you also have to pay for your time online). If google wants to take on advertising (which they have done in the past) to make money, do we really have a right to complain? If they DO want to make those ads intrusive because noones taking any notice of them, do we still have a right to moan? In my eyes, no, all we can do is stop using the service. Or start paying ourselves for a decent service (oh for a good micropayment scheme). So stop moaning everyone:)
I have this one, i also have the Beginning Linux programming book by the same people. i can heartily recommend both books to anyone looking to get into linux programming in general or advanced c programming with linux in mind. This book covered stuff my C programming book didnt.
They also have a huge following on their website, with very good mailing lists for that little extra help if thats what u need.
I seems to remember a car race starring the wallace and gromit characters which came out before the 3 famous films. its never mentioned, but it was definatly them. Can anyone point me in any direction for this?
Ive not had windows 200 or xp crash unrecoverably yet, and then all my crashes have occured when running certain apps, so i attribute the crashes to those apps. do i have a reason to run linux on the desktop? no, windows does everything i want it to do with a tenth of the hassle it would be to set Lindows up and use windows apps under it. I mean linux has got a few apps that are unstable, so has windows, so if its the same situation under Lindows then im afraid im not going to use it. My main point was that a lot of users tend towards "i use linux:)" but when asked why they use linux they cant jsutify it beyond "windows is crap".
To me a lot of people jsut see a large corporation that makes a lot of money and want to bring it down.
A lot of the security problems in windows come down to inter office communication problems within MS, and basically i think you will find that this happens in any company.
Again, my point was that a lot of people jsut run linux to fly the flag, hell ive even come across people who run it for office duties, and spend hours on problems that would never have come up in windows, and they were doing it jsut to run linux and get asway from that nasty OS windows.
Imagine someone whoes running Lindows:
idiot:Yay im running linux!
idiot2:So what apps do u run
idiot:oh OfficeXP, OutlookExpress, Photoshop, ya know, the usual.
idiot2:cool, but windows does that so much better.
A lot of people i know will run Lindows just so that they are running Linux, not because linux does more for them than windows does. It seems an aufull long way to go just to fly a flag.
I have always, and probably will always, ran windows onthe desktop while using linux for the backend. It all works so much better that way in my eyes.
Loads of u are talking bout running special non burning cable:) cant u lot think positive for a change:) if my house is going to burn, id like it to burn good:)

Maybe its not infinite but $20,000 sounds like a lot of money to be pounding on typewriters!
Well, put it this way, we are all running around like raving loonies, not trusting the next person, jumping whenever something happens. We are also giving away freedoms and truths left right and center. I thought this is what the terrorists have set out to do, incite terror in us. This is not a nice world to be currently living in, but what choice do i have?
Riiight and what about software patent laws? ure not trying at all to get us to use your laws are you? DMCA? That doesnt pertain to anything at all does it?
As for saving our arses? Hmmm 1 year eh? Isolationist stance before that? nah, u can continue to be demented.
Firstly i wont comment on the spelling......;)
Next i agree with you, when i want stuff that i have a feeling wont be available to me in the uk, i go to the.com tld, but find many companies not willing to ship to the uk. A lot of the responses to your post were along the lines of "well then stick to your own domain then" but why should we? the.com.net etc are supposed to be international, and i reckon companies that take a.com should be made to at least make a effort to ship internationally. Yes the americans may be the leading force behind the internet, but does that mean they can bulldoze us all out of the way?
Just remeber it aint jsut physical access and untrusted people that you should watch out for. Our server room is very secure, with proximity card access and time locks, but it was circumvented in two ways.
An employee who dealt in web developement decided to try and get out of his contract, so he telentted into the webserver (he was trusted, had been there 4 years) and deleted the companies website, then proceeded to delete the backup archives, and physically destroy the tapes. When he required access to the server room all he had to do was ask one of us sys admins to let him in, nop problem. We ended up with lots of damage because of that.
So peeps, remeber it aint just outsiders that can cause u damage, its the people around u as well.
When my company had our leased line installed we had a Lucent Router installed (forget which model, not the current router we have) and beleive it or not, we couldnt alter the default admin password untill we had upgraded the firmware 4 times! Who is going to bother doing this if they have 5 or 6 routers they are deploying! its bad. very bad.
Well doesnt that sound like any living being?:)
I mean, non cloned animals can die anywhere from a few hours up to a few years from birth, its called nature;)
Im going to comment on the second part of the Item, basically because 1: Very few people have and 2: I have a very personal slant on it.
I was abused as a child, and used as a "model" in pictures, and this has really destroyed me and my life since. Basically any "porn" that depicts helpless children in any sort of disgusting pose should be outlawed and the creators AND the viewers should be shot. Yes i know that some people will just stumble across the site, and yes there may be ways to discrimate against those, but if there is no child porn available then there is going to be non of those instances.
Sorry for my rambling, but i needed to get it off my chest.
