I remember watching Ghostbusters the movie, and at the end of the movie, there was one part where no one was supposed to think of a thing, because that one thing was the damnation of all of the world.
I, then known as Venkman (I still cannot spell my own name) could only think of one thing, a Cybertronic Teddy Bear the size of the Statue of Liberty... Controlled remotely by a cat 3 super fast ethernet connection. What finally demised that bear was the coaxial cable it was connected to, the person with the remote connection just couldn't keep the coax straight. I was the one who caused the coax to crumble, so to speak.
His offspring survived, and after life altering open-stuffing surgery, recieved a different set of commands, and this fast ethernet switch that was so advanced, only evil doctors and the students of MIT recieved it.
Now this bear hunts me. And it seems that slashdot is following it's exploits now. I wouldn't be surprised if by next week, it were me with the fast ethernet switch in my backside, and not this bear....
I was looking at globalization more than just having security. Say I moved to France. I could not take it with me, and the French version would be different than the United States version. Not to say that encryption isn't good, but maybe it should be looked at differently than to just add it in there.
To remove AOL advertising (or at least what they let you) from the proprietary AOL client, do the following (Must be done to every user/screenname):
1. Log in.
2. Go to your settings, and then preferances.
3. Click on the marketing option.
4. Wait forever.
5. Click on e-mail.
6. Click the continue button after reading their plea to Not remove advertising.
7. Click the no option.
8. Click save.
9. CLICK THE X ON THE TOP OF THAT BOX. Otherwise, the only other two options are continue and cancel. Continue takes you back to the yes/no option. Cancel takes away the setting, making your activity fruitless.
10. Wash, rinse, repeat.
11. Choose the pop-up. (Not sure if that is the real name) and do the same as before.
12. Do the same for every e-mail account.
To truly remove the AOL advertising, AOL MUST be removed. Choose a local isp instead, which charges less, and will help you more. I went with one here and suggest anyone with aol should do the same.
It's as though they just walked up and handed security to those who don't know how to use it. I haven't used debian, but I understand you can install it if you need it, and you need it if you install it. They just made it a lot tougher to maintain mirrors in some respects, and at the same time made it an easier sell.
Bandwidth is actually more expensive than you think. A full t1 loop can cost up to 900 dollars. With the bandwidth that slashdot pulls, I would expect that you would realize that they probably have a ds3 or the like. Those are not cheap. So hence, your bandwidth=pennies theory is disproven, and my karma will go down most likely, just because I wanted to point out the obvious.
For many years we have surfed the internet with ads. The fact that the obviously annoying one at the top is there proves that it can be eventually annoyed. Another website, www.opendiary.com went to a paid format such as slashdot is proposing, and it turned out that they had 16000 people subscribe the first week. Of course, the people who subscribed recieved no ads. It is everyones own opinion, but I would rather be bombarded with advertisements the size of Cowboy Neals resume than have to pay for something that was free at one point. Others do not, and are annoyed constantly by them. So this allows for another solution for those people. So why would anyone have a complaint after this is all resolved, except for cheapskates like myself who will not be paying, but get these larger banners.. (maybe the ones that move, I love em:)
Once something leaves a state, it changes. No ifs, ands, or buts. Wouldn't it make more sense to create these labs in the environments that the samples would be taken from. A sample in it's native environment would make it that more viable.
On further examination, creation of jobs, further research in foreign regions, and the fact that the proof of the existence of life in other areas besides earth Would be beneficial to this. Also, contamination of the earths population is somewhat... imaginable, but it is still possible. If there was habitation on Mars and Europa, would it be lack of certain things, or the fact that something was there that would cause their extinction.
Look, this wasn't a troll remark, this was a serious remark. DDR is the cheaper of the two, and probably will be for some time. I don't see the point of spending all that cash on rambus when ddr will do it only slightly less better. Tom is a hardware nut. I still use pc100 ram, and I am satisfied. My comment was not a troll, and you guys know it.
What an original way to capture passwords from everyone around the world. Maybe now I can get the administrative account for the microsoft.com domain.:)
I was on the phone with one of our clients today. Come to find out, she DESPISES any browser but Netscape 4.7.
Even though Netscape doesn't have all the cash in the world (or do they? Aren't they owned by AOL-Time Warner... bah, not part of the point now was it?) and should be given more legal power than Microsoft because Microsoft spends money on it's browser, however buggy it is (Matter of opinion, I actually think that Netscape 6.2 isn't buggy, and a few people I know agree.) doesn't mean that they will if they sue.
Just because it is free doesn't make it the best out there. I'd hate to admit it, but novell seemed the most stable server os out there for a while, they even had a contest for uptime on it. The winner was a server which was actually walled up inside of a closet. They had actually put a wall up. The uptime on it was like 6 years. The only way they found it was by following the network cables.
The spammers number is 773.391.0595, if anyone would like to inform him of what has happened on slashdot.org, I would think it would be a hilarious sound recording.
I am 20, just turned it on the 21st. I've been working on computers since dos 3.0, and was in your position a while back. The person in charge eventually got canned, but then another, more ruthless person came in, and got rid of me.
The worst part was that I had just become engaged, so she took it as hard as I did.
<point>
The point is this. I am now the admin for a local isp. I don't make as much, but I am much happier. If you are looking around your back all the time, and what not, the best thing to do is to get out. There is always another job out there. I would just be wary as to who you tell your age, and what not. It's none of their business unless they can view your records, and you will know who those individuals are. Happiness is better than a good title in the tech world, at least in this position.
As to your boss. He is not your friend. He may be a good chum, but in the end, I would stick to the rule of keeping your friends close, and your enemies closer. He can still fire you after all. And don't think he won't.
Hopefully this one isn't too late to be considered, but here it goes:
My question is two fold. First off, where do you see yourself if you got this position, and/or didn't get this position? Being that you would interact highly with Microsoft employees, how would you interact with them, and under what situations would you say that what is happening would be 'antitrust' and under what situations would you not say that?
My second part has to do with the two codenamed projects in the works right now, "longhorn" and "blackcomb" [I know that http://www.windowsxp.nu/ has some info, but not much as of yet, and I am unsure if it works in non-I.E. browsers] that are due out in the next 2 and 5 years. What kind of direction would you give to these projects yourself? Would you suggest any kind of addition of things such as opensource, different shells [In the microsoft sense, where the shell is what you interact with the os, just like gnome and kde], you get the picture on this. What kind of restrictions would you place as mandatory?
Oh, and what do you run at your home, and would you be changing to Microsoft products(if you don't run them already) in the case that you do get this position.
Not knowing what this was exactly, I went to the site linked in this article that slashdot had on it's site. I then went to the site that was linked on that article. These are two quotes that I guess would sum it all up for the companies suing.
" Unlike its competitors, Sonicblue will not charge a monthly service fee. "
"The boxes will display digital photos and skip commercials automatically, which differs from the ability in current ReplayTV boxes to fast-forward through commercials"
The first statement, that they would not charge, would knock tivo down. The second would literally destroy the way that television content is paid for and profitable. Nuts, but true.
Just thought I would point out as to why the companies are suing, although I do love the idea and plan to get one as soon as it hits the market.
Mozilla seems to really be coming along. As soon as it is streamlined more or less, it should run smoothly on most setups. Perhaps the most evident note on this suite though, is that it is still in the 0.*.* mode in developement. People are making decisions on it before it is fully developed, or before it hits the 1.0 mark.
If you tried it a while back, wait until about 1.5.*, I am sure it will all work perfectly then. This build is a lot better than previous versions though. I would defitely recommend it for the end user who has a p2 300 or above.

You need an MIT education to put a network switch in a Teddy Bear.
You have to go to Harvard to learn how to put parts into box.
Water cooling.. whatever that term means, is still being expirimented with in classes at Oxford, but who knows.

My question is this...
Will we see people in the automated taxi doing a drive-by with these?

"This is better advertising than he could ever pay for"
Well yeah... He even got it onto slashdot, as well as my local news, and yahoo.com. I think that is some good marketing, as compared to a commercial.

Experience tells us that Rambus is faster.
Pocket books tell us that ddr is better.
Which will your wife let you decide on?

I don't see why not, we have lindows, and now deb-bsd, so it shouldn't be bad.
I actually did a search on google on got it.

I mean, it is cool to put it together and all, but why would you pay 100 dollars for it? Isn't the complaint of most linux users that:
a) Windows is unstable. Period.
B) That pricing is enormously high.
Just wanted to state the obvious.

Don't people on macs have the tendency to push a button the the keyboard and then click?
Just thought I might point it out
Maybe he would get a bigger suv if he would hire the guy, since he seems to know what he is doing. Would be a solution for all parties.
