Longhorn already has an SP1, I'm sorry. But this just looks like a modded up version of Windows XP with Sideshow and a bunch of mods.
On the other hand, if it is real. Then he's pretty stupid to leave the ID number in the corner.. probably won't be seeing him much longer;)
How is Palladium supposed to help or "enhance" the users experience?
In my opinion this is going to just frusterate the every day user, and make the "hacker" laugh at Microsoft's effort of a controlled system. The average user wants to go on his/or her computer - listen to music & chat.
They do not want some "secure" music file, they just want to be able to listen to the song. They don't care if its authenticate, or if it contains a "virus".
I believe that this is just a useless effort on Microsoft's part, and lots of wasted time & money for the user.
And for my lead on..
How much is this going to cost Microsoft to develop? For the bug fixes & patches because of Screw ups in the development proccess which don't let me open my Microsoft Powerpoint file.
Have you just installed the OS on your computer? And "tried" the sound, because in FreeBSD sound isn't compiled by default, nor are alot of other things.
You can find information on compiling Sound Support into your FreeBSD kernel .
There is another problem I noticed if you are using KDE, the default sound device is/dev/snd0 which doesn't seem to want to work on FreeBSD, so you have to set it to/dev/pcm0 or whatever your sound card is..
Hope you get it working, its an awesome OS. I finally switched to it on my desktop after they came out with the ATA fix.:)
Get a life, who cares what happened in the states or in other countries. Get on with our lives, what has happened in the past has happened -- and will continue to effect our lives.
But need we think of it every bloody second? No. All it is is an execuse for the United States to blow everyone up.
Ha. That sounds like something Telus would try to pull, take it straight to the union (if there is one) such as the TWU, or take it to the BCFed if its in BC.
Anyways. Good luck on it, I don't think thats legal.. yet, at least. See what the BC liberals will do next.
Free porn will be a nice thing for the internet. But I don't think it'll fly, people will end up putting up porn that isn't free. Unless its just files that the distributors put up and then people can download and the serve on their own..
Boy, that would sure be a bandwidth hog.. I can't wait to see if it this happens.
I've been working with computers for many users, and where I live its not-so-humid, and I've never blown a computer with static electricity.
Heck.. I run a server in my shed and its been running for 3 years with a hick.
Actually thats viabley possible. You can "cap" a certian port or IP address using DUMMYNET. I run a free shell provider (which will name anonymous cause I don't want it/.'ed), and I use DUMMYNET to make sure that SSH is always non-lagged.
For more information about dummynet check out http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ip_dummynet/ - I believe it is only for *BSD, as I only use FreeBSD. But you never know.
It is also possible that you could use a Apache Module such as mod_throttle or mod_bandwidth to cap a certian user.
I have heard cases where it is possible to just cap invididual accounts with DUMMYNET.
Have fun. Running a shell provider or a free service is challenging because you always get people attacking you. If you do it, make SURE that you are able to get filtering at your ISP.
Thats excellent. Even though I don't use Apple, I'd like to see it be a competetor against Microsoft -- even though Microsoft does own shares in Apple.
If you want an alternative to Microsoft Windows, I recommend Apple, thanks to some of the new features in 10.2
And best of all.. it's based on BSD!
I have had to put up with this OPN for awhile, other large IRC Networks such as EFnet, and DALnet do not run donations, nor do they pay their works.
DALnet doesnt even accept donations are far as I know, and gets attacked quiet a bit so they probably actually do need them.
I think that lilo should stop what he has been doing, or he is going to totally destroy his network which wasn't so good in the beggining.
This would totally not be cool. I believe this is more like giving them immuniability. I don't like this idea at all.
Why not just give a teenager a pill of porn magazines?
Hmm. Nice grammer. You dont have to put down Linux, because then that makes other OSes look bad that are bashing it. I mean, im not a fan of Linux -- but I don't go bashing it. I'd rather have an open source operating system over Windows, but I'd rather have FreeBSD. But in any case, Linux would be better then Windows.
That's not true. FreeBSD has actually been gaining market share. It's not a dead operating system, although 4.3BSD, the base of Free/Net/OpenBSD is dead.. other then that. FreeBSD, and other versions of *BSD are..
I have tried many times to install Linux on any of my computers, of which I have many and varients; and each time I fail -- because due to the fact that Linux's hardware support is flaky at the best; even if you do a custom kernel, sometimes you can't even get into the installer.
I have yet to have FreeBSD not be able to install, and I have had it only crash twice in the past 2 years I have been using it; EVEN on flaky hardware it performs at the best.
Yeah. Im in the Coquitlam-ish area. Its supposed to be good, but even people closer get slow. I mean, and its always dieing on me. They have been degrading, I used to get like 192kb/s, now I only get 90kb/s on average..
Also they blocked port 80 (incoming) which kinda ticks me off.
Thats just a tad funny. I have telus and it reaps my bandwidth when I upload. My pings go sky high, and my download goes to like 20kb/s. Im kinda getting sick with Telus.. their services is hitting rock bottom.
Even though my parents both work for telus, I cant stand their service:-/ pretty sad.

Nope defintley doesnt. But then you could put it that Nasa launches its money away ;)

it works now.
I had a chance to mirror the index.html & the source code and binarys before the site went down..
You can pick them up here. It should be a high enough bandwidth site not to go down.

Me and my typing.. I ment to say "without a hick".. dont know how it came out "with a hick".

Alot of people use shell accounts for IRC or to run a website, MUD, etc.

Yeah very maturing modding me down because I was supporting Linux.
This would totally not be cool. I believe this is more like giving them immuniability. I don't like this idea at all. Why not just give a teenager a pill of porn magazines?

I'd rather have an open source operating system over Windows, but I'd rather have FreeBSD. But in any case, Linux would be better then Windows.
I could easily see that happpen, espically in the states. I mean, I wouldn't put it past them.
Does that mean I get the new cisco router i've been asking for all year? ;)
Nah.. that'd be too for my FreeBSD box; they'd never give it to me..

We already know this. Alot of times people won't buy the album because its crud, not because they aren't willing to dish out the $$$
