Yes you can. I did not mean to say that there is not a way to get it to work, just that I would have expected the software to mount the device in both environments. I am sure there are reasons why you can't do that, but it would have been nice if it "just worked".
I decided to plunk down the money for a new Intel Powerbook because of Parallels, and I have not been dissapointed. I have been using it since thwy released the public beta for it, and it really is a great life saver. Running XP under 1 gig of allocated RAM and I cannot notice a slowdown on the Mac or PC side of the system.
My only pet peeve is the way that the virtual machine mount USB drives only allows 1 OS to have access to the device at a time. So if you are on the Windows side and insert a drive, Mac does not see it, and vice versa. I am not sure if there is a way around that or not. But that really is the only annoyance that prevents me for managing the this seamlessly.
I hate sounding like such a fanboy, but this really is a great piece of software.
I agree with the sentiments of the posters that SQL is not going anywhere, but I had a question.
As I am designing more and more complex web apps, I am constantly having to think of new, innovative ways to design the tables and databases and am currently making it up as I go. Does anyone have a reccomendation for books/sites that talk about good design proactices, that is not "How to use SQL" and relatively agnostic on the specific brand on DB?
Sorry for the OT post, its just something that has been bugging me for a while
Sorry, stupid thing to say. Wasn't really thinking, but that really wasn't my point anyway. I was just wondering if someone has played with this and what their impressions were.
Just curious really, the article said that you could play the games without changing cartridges, so I assume that its a HD in there, but I was wondering if any of the QVC watching slashdotters has played with it.
That's pretty funny, I think that the firefox page looks a lot more attractive than the one they put up for IE. Well, I guess that is pretty accurate:).
OT- But look through the bidding history. when this got posted, it was about twenty dollars, now its up over three hundred. Guess not all of the slashdotters are out of work.:)
Epitonic does this, they are free, have a portable music box that you can listen to from anywhere and lots of streaming stations that cater to any musical taste. And, most of the stuff is indie, as the big artists are probably not even allowed to use the service even if they wanted to.
Wow, I got one of these this morning, but I don't think it did anything, b/c I don't run outlook. I never got a chance to agree to a EULA, I just had a screen that told me to 'click here to see your card.' I clicked on it and it didn't do anything. I was wodering why the person who sent it to me would actaully bother sending me a card. Now I know.
According to Open Secrets.org Microsoft is the number on contributer to Mr. Smith's Campaign, with $22,900 racked up in bribe^H^H^H^H contributions. He is also the rep in the same district that MS is HQ'd in. You can repeat the exercise for the other signatories on the letter.
I thought the Internet was already decentralized, so I'm curious about what exactly they're fixing.
Wouldn't the DNS system count as a point of failure. That they would like fix. That would also be a good argument for developing a decentralized system.
I know a thousand people have said it before, but that is exactly what Emusic does. Unencumbered MP3s from artists you would not necessarily buy in a store, all for 10 bucks a month.
Looks a lot like WIN98. I understand that they are going after the converts from windows, but, this may be simplified to the point where the advantages of linuz are lost.
It looks like I will be sticking to some of the 'more traditional' distros. However, I guess I would get it for my parents.
I think that she is saying that it is a risk because MS is not going to fix old software, therefore, in order to avoid damage, you need to upgrade because MS only fixes the latest releases of Office.
I can't imagine that a home user would ever make a point of purchasing a system on the order described. Hardware-level tampering resistance is a good thing for Department of Defense computers, say, but does the average home user, surfing the web and storing recipes, really have to worry about someone leeching that information from residual information that could (maybe) be gleaned from the CPU itself?
I think that the point is that the consumer does not have a choice. They buy the latest and greatest that Dell sells them, and don't really pay attention to the OS, or anything else associated with the machine. People will be adopting something that they don't understand. Not a whole lot different from what goes on today.
A man who investigates complaints and mediates fair settlements, especially between aggrieved parties such as consumers or students and an institution or organization.
A government official, especially in Scandinavian countries, who investigates citizens' complaints against the government or its functionaries.
Why do people need to use so many wireless devices at home?
Because I live in a four story house that I am renting and, as there are computers on each floor, I would prefer wireless to having CAT-5 everywhere or drilling through walls that don't belong to me.
The way that my company handles confidential data is to take the tapes out to the parking lot and run over them with a car. That tends to really do the trick. CDs are similarly broken into multiple pieces.

When will we see this as an add-on for the roomba? Then I could get all of the spiderwebs off of the walls and ceiling, and get the stairs done.
I guess I am being a nit pick, but FWIW tikiwiki is php/mysql, not perl.

This comes from a PhD dissertation that can be found here (its a pdf). Looks interesting, if a bit long.

Good article about it here. Don't worry, this is the printer friendly version, so you don't have to register.

'Course, I could be completely wrong.

Nope. It will be bought by Larry Ellison. He hasn't picked up a new toy in a while.

Most bars will accept passports as a legal proof of your age, you can also use state-issued id cards.
Anyone else notice that the EFF related information is mirrored, but the ICANN info and the law firm aren't? Hmmm... hostile slashdotting?
