Uh, why are you dealing with them now? It should be set up by the distribution for you. I can't remember having fiddled much more with environment variables under linux than I have under DOS (except when I'm developing of course, but I hope it's not that you are complaining about?
And when was the last time you ran DOS in a working capacity? His point is valid if not a little cryptic. When was the last time you had to mess with environment variables on a Windows 2000/XP machine to get a windows program running?
But, why should _YOU_ have to filter it. In that instance it still costs you bandwidth to DL the mail. I agree that it should be law in every country to make SPAM easily identifiable, but it should be done with a Metatag of some sort, then the filtering/blocking can occur much further up the food chain:-)
Storage may very well be cheap.. But in the mobile phone market the battery power to run that storage is perhaps the biggest factor for consumers buying phones.. Yeah you can store 500,000 numbers.. but sorry the battery only last 2 hours
But Microsoft offer no support.. Unless you pay for it. Yes development costs money, but how many things does MS develop? Active Directory would have been a nice development, if it wasn't just LDAP with some proprietry encryption.
They know people will still buy the CD's even if they can't be copied. Take for example DVD's when they were first released, how many slashdotters bought DVD players and discs before they could copy them? My bet would be a good portion of us, and we are the ones that go looking for ways to copy them. Do you think the average consumer even knows it's possible to copy a DVD disc?
So again I ask, why will the RIAA care what people want with regards to copying CD's. They know full well, even if CD's can't be copied they aren't going to lose sales. All those people that bought CD's before are still buying them now and will continue to do so in the future. With perhaps the exception of a few slashdotters we all still buy CD's, although we bitch and moan about it. Have a significant amount of us actually stopped buying CD's outright?
I doubt it. The RIAA also believes (rightly or wrongly), that at least a portion of those people pirating music will fork over for the CD's if they can't find the music they want.
I must say I liked the one early in season 5 when the gate is locked open and about to explode and the new guy asks "So... how did you get the gate in here?" Just as everyone is looking for some way to save the planet when the gate explodes... It just sounds like something Jack should have said, or at least alluded too.
How can you possibly say they got to the top by doing the right things?? Did you never try to run any version of Windows before 95 on an OS that wasn't Microsofts? It'd crash and burn for no reason, and they programmed it to do exactly that. Not to mention OS/2, yeah we'll hook up with IBM and build a nice OS, then we'll steal all the good bits and make Windows and hire a crack marketing team to get all the hardware manufacturers to write drivers for our OS.
My god I could go on and on/turns and leave wondering how so many people could be so naive
Of course Intel well pay, but the bigger problem is that they have poured billions into Itanium and may now have to face not being able to sell any if the second case goes through
LS-120's will boot from most boot disks... but some disks don't work at all (although there are usually warnings on these), ZIP drives are fine to boot from. Although making one bootable from anything after 98/ME is an exercise!
Wouldn't it be quite easy to code up something that went through all the links in the submissions bin and reject them (or at least edit the message to reflect it, so the editor can try to find the right one). That way it would be solved automatically
Yes... but the slowest part may only be the slowest part when it is doing something incredibly complex, that onnly happens once every year.. at all other times it isn't even the slowest part.. Of course then you have a new slowest part:-). I believe a certain balance will need to be reached
Oi you.. settle down...;) They are clones as you say, and they are noisy as the parent suggests, but they only get really bad when you have several hundred running at once;)
What you're forgetting is that it isn't a question of money, it's a question of space, as is any farm of this size. You have to have the space to hold 22 racks plus everything else needed. Why buy Athlonsor P4's if you have to buy 2 more racks to get the same power and have to find somewhere to put those extra 2 racks?

Ummm.... The services part?
Actually MS already has XP Pro running on 64bits
People these days.... no imagination.....
Let me paint a picture
Flyer....
Window.....
GLUE....

You are aware the scenario you explain in your first paragraph is piracy?
The OS you bought with the $550 PC is licenesed on that PC _ONLY_. You can not transfer it to another PC, even if you delete it from the original PC
But Microsoft offer no support.. Unless you pay for it. Yes development costs money, but how many things does MS develop? Active Directory would have been a nice development, if it wasn't just LDAP with some proprietry encryption.
FYI Ultra2 is 80MB/sec
You haven't been here long have you? :-)
According to a post further up, Slackware is one such distro
Speaking of other OS's I got a Visual Studio.Net training ad when I went to read the comments... Somebodies watching I tell you!
Could someone explain why this isn't a Monopoly? Especially so now with no publically elected officals
Why?

Hey, you found my old machine... I want it back :-)

I'm sorry in advance, but....
/turns and runs
Imagine a Beowulf Cluster of these!

I've thought about this a bit recently.
