Paypal's been dropping anything that comes to abuse@, which not only is an RFC Violation (and there's a DNSBL of those), but is part of a slow trend of ISP's and other similar service providers to kill off abuse@ and postmaster@.
You know, I was looking at all these stats from this roundup... and while I'm glad they have one nice stat (how much the FS itself takes, the rest for space), I'm not happy that there is no "We've loaded it up, lets see how much is left" statistic.
What am I saying? I want to know how efficent these filesystems are in packing the data on the HD.
I know Reiser v3 has "tail packing" to take small files and ends of files that stick out past a block boundary, and packing them inside "sub-blocks" to save space. ext2/3 is stuck at the block boundary (even though you can adjust the size of these blocks)
I don't know if ext2/3 has been enhanced to pack small files in inode data.
JFS and XFS does not have a tail-packing feature, and is too stuck at (adjustable) block boundaries.
I'm glad that you get more data out of Reiser v4, JFS, and XFS at formatting time, but my feeling is that Reiser v4 (once profiled, tweaked and refined for speed and space) will pack data tighter than anyone else. Meanwhile, I'm looking for something like ext3 that packs better.
So basically you need a PC with a hard drive and a ethernet connection to be a silent web server, email server, repository, et al. You don't need a huge power supply, just something that can power those two items (maybe a CD or DVD drive).
You might as well go Mini-ITX, with the Via EPIA platform. They make small motherboards that fit anywhere (with on-board video and Ethernet) and direct-to-mobo 60W and 70W power supplies that only need a 12V external power supply brick. I have a EPIA V10000 that's running Gentoo Linux.
It's nice that Opera's free again, and it was useful......once before. Now, I can't stand it.
I can't configure it to use larger fonts.
I can't change the layout to be what I like.
The URL bar doesn't let me Tab-Autocomplete
It basically doesn't follow IE and Firefox's own UI, nor allow me to change it so it does.
It was a nice browser when it was working for Windows 3.1. Now, it's nice but it makes me want to yank the source code from Opera's hands and rip it apart like Larry Wall did to rn.
For Linux, it's Firefox (plus the Gecko browsers) and Konqueror. I can't wait for Dillo to be fully grown. Makes me want to write my own...
No. Hosting is availible to anyone who has a webcomic. We have some manga artists, some mixed-genre artists, and of course the guys who never graduated from fridge art. As said above, Comic Genesis is a Geocities -- but with much less warez and Illegal MP3's being distributed (we mallet those using 'em as file lockers).
Comic Genesis (formerly KeenSpace) has been doing that since 2000. It doesn't want to own the copyright to the comic (and it says so in the TOS). It just wants to host the comic, and give some services (like automated updates, promotion and forums).
But then, I'm the admin behind CG, and my comic is proudly on their servers.
Two guys walks into a computer store, buying for processor chips.
One person, searching the counters, grabs a staff member. "Excuse me," he says, "do you have an Intel..."
The staff member groans, faces towards the person, and says "Okay, an Intel..."
The person jyrates to some unheard music as he says "Killamanjaro Quad-Core Ultrahyperthreaded Coochie coochie Low Watt Midtown Bus 314159629 processor."
The staff member asks "That's the Tango model or the Disco model?"
Meanwhile, the other person is already at the checkout line, having found her processor already. She asks the clerk "What's with him?"
The clerk replies "Oh, he's got a Intel-only motherboard. They're a pain in the butt, you know. I hear the latest requires you to take up contortion just to describe it right. We'll probably drop them for these AMD chips. One Opterion X4. Want a free copy of Windows Cleaner from SymcAffe?"
"No need," she replies, pointing to the little penguin logo on her t-shirt. When done, the babe cutely walks out, leaving the clerk in awe.
You probably know of one patent, the Eolas "browser plug in" patent, which threatens to kill every known web browser out there. And you probably know that Microsoft is fighting the patent, because it's being sued. And that everyone went about it the wrong way.
So (given I have not even read the actual patent details) I thought "wait, there's this function in Unix called 'dlopen' that is commonly used in Netscape and Mozilla to load in plugins. It's even described that way. Where does it date back to?"
HEY! Someone mistyped that. It's the 15th 1st Annual Ig Nobel Price Awards. There may be a 2nd Annual later on in the year, but this is the 15th 1st annual!
Wind River has always been working with Linux on embedded systems, or even with some odd embedded CPU's like PIC's. They have a free, open source Eclipse module for various systems.
Symantec may be right in saying "Mozilla gets more critial holes reported," but it forgets that Mozilla is open source, and that the bug reporters can send in a patch to Mozilla.
So, Symantec? How many critical holes are there, that are reported to Mozilla are fully ID'ed down to the lines of source code and have patches to fix them? Mozilla is right in this reguard: Being open source means you get a faster responce time, as the folks who are finding out about these bugs can (and probably are) the ones that are fixing them.
Why? First, you need a clear line of sight (even if the transmitters/receivers are at angles to each other). When you're 28 with two neices and a nephew under age 4, you basically are dodging them while trying to see what you're playing anyway.
Second, consider IrDA, which if we use SIR is around 115Kbps. About twice that of most good dialup services. Probably be able to give good ping rates with QuakeWorld, were it not for broadband. Ether way, you have some signaling issues that will take up time and limit the responsiveness.
Hopefully Nintendo will go Bluetooth or some private radio.
They're also complied for 486. Patrick only includes the binaries for Firefox and Thunderbird, so if you have a Pentium I with 64 megs of RAM, you'll have to compile it yourself.
I second that. The LiDE 30's been very good for artwork, so light, and since it uses LED technology, draws little power (and thus only needs USB power).
The display of a Zaurus 5500SL is 3.5" diagonal for a (color) QVGA screen. This one is much bigger -- about twice as big. Think two Zaurus 5500SL's screens side by side when that rolled display is extended.
But I agree. Get it to a higher resolution and color, and you got yourself a deal.
I was in the dealers room, and they weren't there. I kept hearing that ADV was not giving that large Anime convention any time of day. That convention would of been perfect for them to annouce their bittorrent service!

x86 w/Nvidia card perferred.
Second Life released an Linux native alpha client. Some hard rough edges but very usable.

That's not engine block cooking! Get a copy of "Manifold Destiny" from a bookseller.
So? There's probably fifty duplicate submissions out there for that one good link! Pick and choose one that hasn't hit the cap.

http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ has a Mini-ITX store, and some ideas are at http://www.mini-itx.com/
Looks like you got a bug there with the framebuffer being offset like that.
Any word on if you're going to bundle Opie or GPE on it?

What happened to Scotty? We haven't seen her for some time, and she just came on Monster Garage?

I'm no lawyer, so I may be wrong.

A google search results in a Nov 16th, 1995 Sun Microsystems document describing a bug in SunOS 4.1.4's dlopen() call.
The patent was awarded in 1998. dlopen() existed since late 1995, at least two, if not three, years before the patent.
Whoops! I belive we got prior art from Sun! Quick, someone sue the Patent Office with this evidence!
I belive so too. I belive they also have a Gumstix module for that too.
All it needs to run on is three simple words:
1. Swim
2. Swim
3. Hungry

Subscription money? I want the cost of all the bandwidth I used back! Someone better switch the Google logo to the funny logo.
