Microsoft speaking on copying others' features seems a bit absurd. Microsoft has made a living off other peoples' innovations. Now the only reason suits like the SCO vs Linux haven't come up with other OS's is because we can't see whats under the hood. Now, in fairness, maybe Linux developers have a right to view the OS code of any accusers of IP infrengement to make sure they haven't done the same thing. Such a rule might also make a company think twice about filing frivilious lawsuits to tarnish the reputation of open source OS's.
My friends tell me, "a win2k/XP can stay up as long as a linux box." I told them, "only if you don't patch it." This is the 3rd time in the last 2 weeks I think I've brought down my windows boxes to patch critical vulnerabilies.
I'm no programmer, but it seems they overflow a buffer used in loading saved games to mount the saved game as the d drive and then run a program off of it. This can then copy the modified files used to boot linux on an unmodified xbox to the hard drive.
The opinions I've heard from people have been in beta are that it is an elaborate chat room for star wars junkies. As an everquest player I understand how online games function. What I have been hearing is that while the game is amazingly detailed and beautiful, it lacks the dynamics to have an exciting 'end game'. (The end game is the portion of the game where people who really commit to the game play. It is people who have maximized their skills and are killing the hardest mobs in the game.) It sounds like starwars does not have much content at this level, (which is required to keep people who play the game frequently happy).
So what the game may end up being is a place where casual gamers can go to chat about the day and to relax and kill a few things, but that the game is not ready for people to play to win. There are many other reasons people feel the game is not ready for release. You can read some of then at the thread on the subject HERE.
There is something fundamentally wrong about Madona and Linkin Park calling their albums as a whole a work of art when no-one can name more than a single song per album.
What is.. the best way to get the largest consulting firm in the world and a huge server manufacturer and supporter to switch over to the competitions software Alex?
Who the hell uses their cell phone on a fight anyway? Can you even get reception? When your flying, sit back, watch a movie, and work/play on your laptop. Your going 400 mph a few 1000 feet up. You'll be ok unwired for a bit.
I for one don't have cable tv. I don't like the cable internet service I had and so when I went to DSL I canceled my cable subscription to keep down on bills, (I'm just out of college).
I use it because. even though it hogs resources, is ugly, has tons of stuff I don't need amda lackluster decoding engine, it has a reasonable music library system which isn't great but works ok. With 25,000 songs I kind of need it.
Yeah,I'm using fetchmail to send mail through spamassassin, but I'm using the mandrake packages (1.25ish) which aren't baysian). I tried installing 1l55ish src rpms but I didn't meet some perl requirement, (which I'm almost absolutely sure I met), so it didn't work. Right now I'm trying to figure out if I cavn cause spamassassin to train an email every time I manually send one to my trash folder.
Now will they include baysan filtering in evolution or will I be forced to use tricks to route the mail around in circles? If MSN and netzero can use spam filtering as a mainstay of their advertising and it makes a lot of big press here and is able to be integrated into mozilla, I think it would prove worthwhile to have it integrated in Evolution as well.
This is an excellent idea. As a recent student I can attest that most students don't understand anything of what goes on in their first circuts class. A hands on approach of building circuits would really help. (All of my second tier electrical engineering classes included a lab where we really saw how things worked).
What are you using to make it? I'm using 3.2.2 and it's balking. I'm not a programmer so don't know if it's really bad or just a minor problem. Seems like a whole bunch of undefined references.
First, has this been ported to linux yet? I know it would be an illegal project, but with the source available and,(from what I hear from my friends), it being a very good piece of software, I can't imagine someone not porting the source.
Second, AOL might as well cut thier losses and just declare some license that they can live with. The software is wild, the source is wild, and it's too good got people just to sit down and pretend that it doesn't exist. It's going to be developed by the outside world whether they like it or not. The best they can do is either let it develop illegally or impose a license they can accept on it.
So what happened to the idea of using crystals with air bubbles to create light patterns? That sounds like a much more secure and unique method than this. Really, I have the time to slide my damn card so lets go with security.
I just got my touchstream keyboard today. My typing is a little slower but it's still faster than most peoples typing. I have more mistakes but not that many more, ( and most of them are from the rearamgement of the keys from a normal keyboard, not from touch typing). I really like it already. The gestures are great and not having to move your hand to move your mouse is very nice. It's definately expensive, but it was my graduation to myself. Anyway, I think it's great. As the price for the technology comes down, I imagine everyone will be using this type of thing.
In everquest, no GM (game master) accounts can be accessed outside of the local network, (ie, all developers and GM's have to be in the building to do their job). This was after EQ had some of the same types of problems. (In eq, someone hacked the home computer of one of the lead developers and use that information to access high level options.)
Second, the whole "don't expect anything to be hidden on the client" is completely true. In everquest, showeq has managed to recrack what they believe was an uncrackable encryption, (encryption then compressions removed the original vulnerability of the encryption technique). Many programs 'sniff' the EQ key on the windows machine including programs such as macroquest. These programs also use the offsets to change values in game and automate movements.
Basically, when something is at stake, people are going to try their hardest to bypass the rules. And unlike many systems, MMoG's must be online all the time, must have a client that has some information, and can have only low level compromises in small numbers and zero high level compromises, otherwise no-one will play.
Yeah. I spent memorial day laying out a machining job on a box and the whole things in decimal inches. First because I'm sure thats how the machine shop will want it and second thats how all the parts were in their data sheets. When I have to do the PCB i know it'll be in mills.
I can tollerate english for length, especially decimal inches, but I remember the exact moment I got sick of english: a few years ago in a lab working with pipe flows and head and trying to figure out what units were what, which pounds things were etc. After that I've never wanted to touch english for anything using more than 1 unit.
Ok, so a quality version is pirated. These are the same people who released 4 of the animatrix shorts for free? I thought they would have realized that their real fans want the dvd. The film has grossed roughly 350 in the box office so I find it hard to say their being hit there, (didn't the first film gross about that in it's entire run?) And the people downloading to get a copy at home are most likely either teenagers who 1: aren't (or shouldn't be for an R movie) their target audience, and 2: are likely to find a way around buying it anyway.
The majority of their target are probably 20's-30's, working males. Many of them downloading it are probably only filling the gap between when they no longer want to see it in the theater and when they can get the DVD. I did the same thing for LotR:FotR and LotR:TTT. I downloaded the movie, but the second that dvd comes out I"m getting the extended edition. Why? I want to watch the movie now, but I want the actual DVD when I can get it. Will I download Matrix Reloaded? Maybe. Will I buy Animatrix, matrix:reloaded and matrix when they come out on dvd? Of course. (And yes I realize matrix is out, I want to get it w/ reloaded though.)
350 million in a couple of weeks is not "'debilitating' for the industry no matter how they slice the pie.
But hey, at least bittorrent is getting some advertising in.
Thank you. All 3 of you. I know I should run a mail server but right now I'm just too busy to set one up, (I've always had trouble when I tried before). I'll give your suggestions a try and thank you again. Good karma.

I assume that the safety corridors could be made in 3 dimensions so as to not allow a plane to fly too low over certain areas.
Please, know what your talking about before you troll.

Does this mean that I can no longer avoid installing IE updates and stick w/ 5.01 while still updating my system?

So is this the version that mozilla moves to a firebird type of functionality.

Except machinists. All people working use metric, but when you have to build something you wind up in inches and mills.
