Fred Saberhagen describes using a Honeytoken to defeat an enemy in one of his Berserker stories. Apparently it's an old Dictionary & Encyclopeadia Publishers trick to prevent plagiarism. they put in a number of reasonable entries that nobody's ever going to need, and if anybody copies them, they know they've been plagiarised, and can prove it in court
'He copied our encyclopaedia, and we know this because he has entries we made up out of whole cloth.'
No, it's because many low power CPU's for embedded work don't have an FPU and are impossible to use as the basis for a Ogg Player (Not that there's even a market for one)
While it's competent, only a Switch user was going to pick it over the much superior offerings from Apple (FCX in the same price range, FCP for more money).
FCP might not kill Premiere on Windows (It's a higher-end app, it only killed Premiere on the Mac because there was nothing between Avid and Premiere, before FCP), but FCX would hurt Premiere VERY badly, if it ever was ported to Windows (Which wouldn't happen, unless it was crippled somewhat in the process).
Yes they have. Final Cut Express was the Result. It killed Premiere, not FCP. For a couple hundred dollars, you got all the basics of FCP, none of the extras.
well, don't forget they were testing a SINGLE 2GHz G5 (They turned off the second CPU), running G4 code. That's really equivalent to the $2400 G5 (Single 1.8GHz) than the actual performance of the Dual G5 (Which should be at least 50% higher, if not more, due to the G5's optimized SMP design, which is similar to the Athlon MP's, barring the vastly faster system bus (Point-to-point, unlike the P3's [and the G4's] shared architecture. I think the P4 Xeon might use a ptp bus, not sure).
Also, they were getting baseline tests on performance, against the G4. They also broke it down to performance per MHz, which the G5 took a huge lead in.
I suspect a dual G5, with an optimized compiler, would prove more than a match for the dual Xeon setup (That would cost significantly more, similar spec dual-xeon dell's are in the $4000 range), at least for this application (which heavily benefits from Altivec, and Altivec is still king of the SIMD world, SSE2 isn't even close in performance)
Yes, that interview is the source for this. Perhaps you forget who Daryl McBride is. Chances are if he's saying it publicly, it's policy at SCO, no matter you idiotic.
Oh, and he's pretty much claimed IP rights for every modern OS other than Solaris.
You can't in Canada. The Toronto Police Department just had a libel suit against the Toronto Star thrown out of court because you can't libel a group under Canadian Law (I guess you'd need to get it classified as Hate Speech to pursue legal remedies.)
The Mixer in the signed drivers has a memory leak. As long as you reboot at least once a week, you'll be fine.
Leave an XP box up for a month, and the Mixer is eating 200+MB of memory.

That was 'I Will Fear No Evil', not one of Heinlein's better novels (Nothing he wrote from the mid-70's on was all that good. In fact, I'd ted to somewhat avoid everything he wrote after about 1970)
Heinlein was what would now be called a NeoCon, but was then called a Liberal. He was an individualist, and very strong in those views, although he wasn't averse to the benefits of Socialism, he just believed in individuals, rather than groups (Especially ethnic ones, Manny's reaction to racism in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is typical for Heinlein.)
And Starship Troopers was about Individual Responsibility and the why's and wherefore's of Civic Virtue, not rampant militarism, the Military was just the setting he chose, for good reason, to show the conversion of a spoiled rich kid into a responsible individual. John Ringo and David Weber do much the same with Roger in the 'March To' series, although Roger starts off as a much less worthwhile individual than Juan Rico, who's a nice, if spoiled, kid.
Do not mix up the movie (Which was apparently an intentional mockery of the book, demonstarting that veerhoeven couldn't see what Heinlein was talking about) with the Book, for ST.

Except the tags could be in the cash.
Europe is already considering this.
Oh, and to the guy suggesting that stores will remove the tags, umm, no, they will be in the closthing and products, not on it.
You upgraded rather than a clean install, right? That's a prescription for problems like yours.
Also, if you have an AIW, did you get the Remote Wonder too? The drivers that ship with the Remote Wonder will force a reboot at least every 4 hours, the latest drivers fix this problem.
Yes, in fact there's pounds of documentation on migrating NT4 to Windows Server 2003. I've got about 5lbs of it on my desk (About 1/3 of the Administrator's Companion for WS2k3 is about NT4 migrations)
Using a VHLL for core tools of an OS/Distro intended for embedded devices is a Bad Thing. Simply put, you need the app/tool written in the VHLL and the Interpreter vs. having just the compiled tool (And possibly a shared library, a la TinyQT and the C++ Portage2 project). Footprint considerations make the latter a better choice for embedded devices, while the former may be the better choice for bigger hardware.
And a G3/333 running Jaguar is about as fast as a similar spec Duron 600 running Win2K (Which is what I said), it's significantly faster than a similar spec K6/400 if both are running Mandrake.
Oh, and Mandrake's selling point since 5.x is that it was compiled for Pentium and higher processors. Mandrake 5.2 (First version I used) was all i586 packages.
Slashdot Mirror
Note the parent I was responding too (I'm well aware of Tremor, which sort of solves the problem I'm describing, but is quite CPU-intensive)
That's funny, considering IBM AT's can't run Slackware, and never have.
An AT is a 286.

The Book T2: Infiltrator address the issues of the T-800/T-100's looks.
They were patterned after a German/Austrian (Can't remember which) Anti-terrorist operative, who had connections to the Connor's.
I use slack because it lacks the package management system. apt-get is OK but RPM annoys me.
It's also easier to move from Slack to other Unix's, and as I also have an Irix box, a Mac OS X box and a NeXTStep box, this is a win for me.
Oh, and it just feels right. Which is the ultimate reason to pick a distro for personal use.
pshaw,
64K on an Apple ][ and loving it.

Have you been reading SCO's claims?
By their claims, they own Windows (And Classic Mac OS too!)
They've claimed that every operating system in existance is a Unix derivative, and that they therefore own the entire IP for them.

Look at one of the low-end cube PC's, then drop in a Celeron 1.7GHz or so, 30GB HDD and a GeForce4 4200. Pretty cheap, and fairly small.
Nah, Mac OS.
the EU is Windows (Nice idea, implemented badly by fascists masquerading as socialists)
