And I don't try to run DNS, AD, Exhange, SQL and IIS all on the same box with 2000 people connected
Well drop sql, since if you actually need a database chances are you need a seperate machine just for it. Why exactly can't you run the rest of those items on a single machine with 2000 people connected? It baffles me that you would say that.
In linux I wouldn't flinch at running that on a nice U1 multiprocessor box with a few hundred gig Raid5.
I would have to veto this one, I managed to make a machine unusuable yesterday (so much for my first experience with XP) and the reason given was "my hostname was incorrect". This required a local tech and a reghost on windows -- it would be a simple ssh session in unix.
I think the managability argument is valid only because all stupid techs know microsoft, but only smart techs know both.
Actually, we just got done firing 15 techs because they refused to expand their knowledge past windows. We now have a nice group of techs with some leaning towards windows and some leaning towards unix, but no one is lost in either system.
Don't say no one ever got fired for microsoft -- it was true two years ago -- it's not today.
How about giving me the option to play the game without having to pay for a useless box and manual that I don't have the shelf space for? All I need is the CD.
Everquest tried this with their most recent expansion - they ended up having to make a quick boxed edition because too many people bitched about no box. I don't think the box is totally going away anytime soon.
Please, someone, bring Permanent Death and more risky idea to the world of MMORPG and then, maybe, maybe I'll actually play one.
I'm all for PD, just don't institute Complete Heal around characters having 2000 hps and not modify it 5 years laters when characters have 7000 hps. That spell and that spell alone will be the downfall of Everquest, it will only take time for them to make a bad decision about it.
Yes, becauser we know custom XUL prompts won't give the user a rather obvious security message... really they don't. It's exactly the same level as a page I could just browse to without trying to...
I was going to mod you down, but they still don't have the damn -1 incorrect.
Ah I missed that word, I thought they were bidding for an exclusive release (ie. no pc), which would require a rather fat pay check to make productive at this point.
Considering how much manpower has already been "wasted" getting the game tested on various systems, it would rather shock me if they threw it all away and optimized for the X-Box only.
No, it is most definitely still free speech. That right can never be taken away, unless you choose waive it yourself for a specific duration (and other specific circumstances which due to the way society works can never be good, ex screaming fire in a theater).
Breaking into someone's house would be of course illegal, but it would in no way effect the legality of what I said.
I think your trying to say the method of transmitting the speech can possibly be illegal, thats a very dangerous path to take. Next in line comes communist fliers pasted on a public bulletin board.
I strongly feel our definition of universe will look horribly primitive in a few million years if intelligence is still developing technological explinations of the world around them.
I also feel the word universe is often overused and misunderstood, in fact I think it would be better to come up with a word describing the tangeable "universe" that most people mean, and the mathematical "universe" that you are refering to in your post.
I was very similar to your kid back in the day, what finally straightened me up was the following:
My parents (whichever was free) sat me down at 4:30 (dinner was at 6pm) and I did homework under annoying (almost nagging) supervision, with the context I could get them to go away if I did my work independently (in the same time frame). My homework had to be finished before dinner every night or they would supervise me finishing it.
I learned to do homework at least, it took another 10 years to learn why homework wasn't worthless heh.
You fail to notice probably 20-30% of safari users came from tabbed browsers. I don't really think there are that many people in this world who really utilize tabbed browsing, so making a mainstream browser with tabs is silly (have you tried teaching it to someone who barely gets WIMP, it's rather like beating your head into the wall).
Tabbed browsing does not belong in a clean interface. Peroid.
Slashdot Mirror
I cannot use bits and pieces of the movie trailer in another work
I stoped reading right there. You sir need to brush up on fair use and copyright law.
or forgot their RAS dialin number and reconfig'd with AOL
That should be impossible if you set up the machines with any sort of security in mind.

Manageability.

Just my 2cp
Mods are smot pokin again.
Heard of sun solaris? There are laptops for that (they cost about 6k I believe).
In addition, unless the user changes it, the default location to save things is *always* the user's home folder,
I'd give them props for this, but they are about 50 years late to the party.
And now I ask, what does descrete math have to do with email?
And someone could be replacing Slashdot with a trojan website! Are YOU willing to take the risk?
I mean come on...
I don't understand how it would be projected significantly cheaper? We have absolutely nothing to base the price of the ppc970 on yet...
If you run into some spare time, could you send me some recipes at froggie6@mchsi.com, it would be much appreciated :)
Well, really, as soon as it turned into money the house was no longer virtual.
The stock market could be claimed to be complete fiction (as it really is) using that argument, yet clearly it is not so.

'Nothing in the Constitution compels us to listen to or view any unwanted communication, whatever its merit,''
So me telling him he is wrong isn't free speech?
That argument seems taken out of context quit a bit.

I ask you to connect to an appletalk network from an out of the box pc.
None the less, for "file sharing" networks, I've never had finders apple+K *NOT* find all the windows networks on my local subnet.
I'm really not sure what your complaint is here though, and I do wish it wasn't modded to 5.
Read point 3 with careful attention to grammar.
Parent was a obvious troll, someone with mod points please fix.
