I used Phoenix until 0.3 when the home button on mine started taking me to mozilla.org instead of the homepage I set in the preferences. Did that bug get fixed yet?
A couple things triggered that thought. I'm sure there are just many thigns different.
Space as the wildwest, outlaws vs the law. The struggle for the special cargo that turns out to be a girl in suspended animation. Main characters running from some awful tradegy in the past, end up as space pilots with shady jobs (bounty hunter/slaver). People keep chasing them, something about thier ships but they don't quite know what. Both have a genius kid with them.
When all that is crammed together into a 30 second preview, it almost sounds like an Outlaw Star trailer. Looks like (in the reviews) there is alot of stuff you could probably find that comes from other shows. Maybe some original stuff in there too. That's just why it looked alot like Outlaw Star to me.

It is anime so it has to be something like what you'd expect from anime doesn't it?

I suppose so. It was the whole idea of the space cowboy who doesn't look for trouble, but trouble is always find him thing. Running away in a special ship with a bunch of people chasing him. The biggest thing was the live-action version of Melfina (the girl) in a metal suit case. That really makes it seems alot more like Outlaw Star than anything else. At to me it does.
You're right that they'll rip off any other decent show they can think of too:)
Isn't spam assassin also using some sort of statistical scheme? I've seen some simple perl script things based on averages. I think spam assassin does more than that, but I've never really checked it out. Does anyone know how this is different or comparable to other spam filters?

#1 What would happen if this licence were applied to all future version of the MSDN & Platform SDK documentation?
#2 Why not create software for windows machines
to interface with file and authentication systems
on linux and other free platforms? For example, I have used Netware & DCE clients that replace the default GINA with thier own, and the netware client includes support for accessing Netware volumes. So you end up with windows client using a non windows machine for file sharing and access control. Wouldn't this pretty much have the same effect of letting everything work together, it just makes a windows computer use another systems protocol rather than the other way around.
Sound like it would make an interesting
project; Maybe it hasn't been done because the ms enterprise apps are somehow want domain controllers and such (I'm not sure, I dont get involved any of that much)
When I get in one of those moods, I'll crank call all of the 1-800 numbers listed in the spam. That doesn't do anything for the spam count, but it does wonders for my mood.;)
Hey, thanks - I'll check those out. What other materials did you find useful while learning japanese? I've gotten some grammar books & dictionaries and have worked through the lessons. I'm slowly working through some childrens books in japanese right now. I'm too sure what other options are out there, though.
Damn, somehow 1/2 my post got lost. What I meant to say was my only complaint about the 2.4 series is that 2.4.17 seems to hang on shutdown - just before it unmounts drives. Other than that the only problem I had was the earlier 2.4 kernels which didn't have the ACAPI support for my mobo.
Anyone else seen that shutdown problem?
This is not a flame posting or troll posting. So please don't kill my karma:) [you post one time you don't like adds on the web and BAMM! - but I digress;)]
Although we met several technical challenges along the way (specifically, Linux's lack of Token Ring support and the fact that we were unable to defrag its ext2 file system)
Linux does have support for Token Ring. I've used it for several years w/o a problem. Even with old (scary old) IBM model 30's and worse. As for the FS, it don't quite work the same as DOS. You really don't need to defrag them, it won't really gain you all that much. You can fsck them as much as you want though:) But I guess it depends on how slow the HDs you have are.
GPL, or the Gnu Protective License
GPL is the Gnu Public License. Alot of people share your view about it though. I'm not saying I'm for it or against it (below). Just commenting on it
Furthermore, after reviewing this GPL our lawyers advised us that any products compiled with GPL'ed tools - such as gcc - would also have to its source code released.
I don't think this is true. You can use the tool w/o releasing the source for what you are doing. So long as that source is not derived from a GPL project. All the libraries that you'd need for system calls are LGPL'd for this reason. There are quite a few companies that sell products that are not GPL but are created using GPL or LGPL tools (trolltech to name one) You definently can't just change a part of the kernel and remove the GPL license, which is pretty reasonable, IMHO, for the same argument you made for not wanting to open your source. (Should the community do all that work for free just to give a company a competative edge?) But I don't know how the GPL works for kernel modules. It might be possible to write a loadable kernel module that is not GPL. I think some of the accelerated XFree86 video drivers that are released as binary only are loadable kernel modules
Although it was tought to do, there really was no option: We had to rewrite the code, from scratch, for Windows 2000.
I'm just wondering what you were doing that required a kernel modification on linux (where kernel source is available) that was easier to do on windows 2000
(where kernel source is not available)?
If you're rewritting it from scratch anyways was there something inherent you found about windows (other than the liscense interpretations) that made this easier to do on the windows platform? In my expirence, the lower level you go on Win32 the thinner the documentation can get. Sometimes just being about to look at what something is doing (via the source) is alot easier than trying to find a scrap of documentation about something on the web. Also, there is alot of code available to learn from available for linux and bsd (as far as low level kernel stuff goes) than there is for Win32.
There was a jazilla project a couple years ago. But it hasn't been active (at least not to my knowledge) for a while. And the people at javalobby were working on a whole java desktop project a while ago. They had a bunch of useful apps planned (object diagram tools, editors, etc) and I think a browser may have been one of them.

Anyone have any solutions for creating win32 backups w/o an expensive commerical package?
That's true. I hope its good show. Farscape isn't going to be new for a while so I'll need something decent :)

You're right that they'll rip off any other decent show they can think of tooThat new FireFly show, judging by the preview at least, is a complete rip-off of Outlaw Star. Theplot looks exactly the same.
I played the first versions a long, long time ago too. That game was fun. No idea what its like now though.
Its a watered down version of CoreWars?
What does a 'w00t' sound like?

Its a really good series too. I love creative stories like that. Anyone know if anything special is going to show at Otakon? I can't wait

haha, post some recordings.
Isn't it a little bit a limited contest? They want GUI apps only if you read the fine print.

That couldn't be a better :) I just need to fast track my japanese learning and I can goto the land of computers & anime

Only complain I've had about the 2.4 series is that really early versions 2.4. Other than that, I think its pretty good.
