I may not have a lot of money seeing as I'm only a Senior in HS, going into college soon, but you know what? I stand behind linux. Go Ahead SCO, SUE ME. And with me, sue my school district (just got a few linux boxes up) and my church (I would love to see that one). Seriously, I will fight the best I can. I don't care if I'm in debt for years, to me it would be worth the fight to see SCO gone. Plus, I don't think they will be around to see the IBM Lawsuit at the rate of their stocks. And I bet they don't have enough money and manpower to take on all these companies, THEN all the end-users.
I've been using HE.net for my my IPv6 Tunnel. I got a/64 too. I've only had one problem when they did a little routing clean-up, was down for like a day or something, But had never really had a problem.
Has anyone seen the new dell cases lately? The new tower desktop ones, you have to lay it on its side, then you press two tabs, one on the top and one on the bottom, and you pull it up. The drives are attached to the one side panel, and the motherboard to the other. They really did a good job with the cable routing on the front. They even include a case intrusion detection switch. Yet I have seen it in use. So yes, this design ( minus the "t" part) is already in use by Apple, and Dell, and others:P
Its weird, I just went out yesterday and bought the MX 700 which is in the review. Personally I give the overall higher. Yes, it is more expensive, but I say well worth it. I have no problems with it. And with the right configuration in it, I got almost (all but the task-switching button) to work with Linux (Gnome 2/XFree86). I would really recommend it. If anyone does get this mouse, and they want my config for it, let me know I will send it.
I was reading the FAQ on the hardware at the current East location. In it they say that the racks are less then 30mins from all the netadmin's houses. I recall a article about when/. had their outage. If I recall currectly, this was (kinda) solved by one of the netadmins being close to the DataCenter. I'm not saying that the people out in E-West won't be able to handle anything that comes up, but if something like this (god forbid) happens again, are the/. people gonna fly out there to fix it?
I've seen alot about single sign on with Windows. I have liked the stuff that Novell has put in. I do like some parts, and I don't like other parts. I don't like Passport, only because then it give M$ access to all my personal information(which I wouldn't doubt they already...). But, I've seen a lot about the windows front, and MONO and other projects for GNU/Linux And/or Open Source in general. But... Has anything been done to try and combine the two where you have a single sign on for both *nix and Windows, where you can have the same favorites, address book, etc?? This is what I would like to see happen, as I use GNU/Linux (gentoo/slack) at my house, in my room, but Windows at my church/family computer/ and school. I would like to have it where I could get the same stuff on all of these machines, but I haven't seen anything about combining the two of them yet. Does anyone know if there is such a project going on??
You know, I got thinking about this, and it is REALLY stupid. Now.. I know pretty much EVERY pose before me and after me will say the same thing. But... think about it.. what the RIAA is basicly doing, is like if you drive a Honda, and you get in a wreck with someone driving a Ford, you turn around and sue Ford for the wreck...
I figured it was, because I thought I remembered hearing something about it. Still, if they combined what they have with the clockless, I still think they would own intel hands down.
I've always liked AMD's chips and have had the best lucky with them. Infact, my school's finally upgrading a few boxes with AMD 1600XP's, ANYWAY, not the point of my comment. My comment is this: Ever since I saw the Hammer/Opteron chip, when they FIRST introduced the idea, I drooled over it. I can see the advanages of a back. compat. chip for x86 along with running 64 bit stuff, but I can also see a chip from AMD that JUST does 64-bit.
ANYWAY.... What I would LOVE to see from AMD, is to take their Hammer design, and run with it. Meaning, if possible, move more onto the chip (e.g north bridge) this way you can just pop a new chip in, and you almost have a new motherboard, ALMOST. Also, I would like to see them combine the Hammer design with Clockless Tech (discussed here on/. earlier). With the last, I think if they did that, they would totaly blow intel right out of the water.
Considering my desktop is a Emachine Celery 400, and my laptop is a old IBM Thinkpad 600, at 266, I would LOVE to have a laptop AND a desktop with this chip, that would truely be AWESOME!
Sir,
One problem with your last statement: "Microsoft isn't going to change its practices unless people STOP BUYING THEIR PRODUCTS." The problem with this statement is the OEMs. Microsoft forces the OEM's to send their computers out with the version of windows they tell them to. And most people in the world are lazy, so when they order, say a computer fro Dell, from the website, they want to be able to have all the options there. On the website for Dell, they ONLY have WinXP Pro and WinXP Home as the two options. Now, if you do call them, you can get other versions installed, but most people won't call them.
I believe this is the problem, because a lot of people I know got new computers and went with Dell/Compaq/HP/Gateway/etc..., and their computers came with WinXP. I know VERY few people that went out and bought WinXP Pro|Home off the shelf as a upgrade or full version. They got Stuck with the OS, because of the computer they bought.
This past year in my one class, Construction Tech.(yes, in school), we built a Trebuchet. Altho ours were limited to 3 feet base (in each direction). It worked out well, some went far, some went short, it was all a matter of how long the sling was and stuff. I have mine still, I gotta fix it up a little tho. I can see it now, a small lego desktop Treb. Brings a new meaning to throwing candy at the guy next to ya:P
I bought a refurbished Palm Vx from Palm's website, back in Janurary, I believe. I had a few problems with it, not many tho. The bulk have been my own fault. The first that I noticed was that the power button on the top, you sometimes have to press hard, and at a angle to turn it on, off, or backlight. This has gotten a little better (don't ask me why), and now will do with normal pressure. The other is that the back is scratched up, but thats me with stuff in my pocket before I got a case for it:) I only use the craddle for charging, and/or backup, every say, month, so I can't say much on that front. I mainly use it as a stand-along device. Reminders of were I have to be, homework (10th grade student here), addresses, and don't forget those games during class (did I just say that?).
Didn't Mexico say that they were gonna use Linux/Open Source for applications like this. Oh, wait, just found This Slashback article about Mexico and the movement. Interesting how things have flopped back and forth down there.
I was just pricing servers for my uncle's business that he's starting up, I happen to see that the servers(now we're talking Itainium (sp?) or large 4+ way Xeon servers) are selling with Linux, mainly RedHat 7.2 on the OS list. Yes, they still have the Win2k, and WinNT OSs listed, but they also have RedHat, or the No OS option. So on the server side, yes, they still have some linux in there. On the workstation/home machines, I think you can forget about it.
Hey Rob, Congradulations!!! I'm glad to see your getting married! Now.. only if it was in the poll, she might be marraring CowboyNeal, inwhich case I'd have to congradulate him, but seriously, I wish you a long and happy marrage!
Well... I'm not sure what happened, but I made sure that I made a backup of my system. And I'm glad I did too. I'm running ReiserFS, wouldn't run anything else, and I still got a currupt filesystem. Infact, I'm recompile QT and KDE right now, after the install of Slack just finished. So yes, from my experience, this bug does affect ReiserFS users. Altho I'm not sure about JFS, XFS, ext3, and so on.
After reading over the article, I got thinking. Linux can pretty much do all that this says already! Another one of my points that more people should switch to Linux for that. You could setup the network to boot a computer, from the network, which is stated in the getting a new system part. Other then a few things, this already can be done, which a few addons that is.
I noticed the same thing in my web log this morning. I think it not only affects IIS, but I think it will also affect Apache servers running Micro$oft FP Extensions, as the/scripts/ and stuff its pointing to are all apart of the extensions. IT does also try to exec. some windoze only files. But personally, its gonna be bigger then we all think it will be...

Seems that in many contries, besides Soviet Russia, that IT fails many people.
