And if anyone should speak for the open source community, it sure as hell shouldn't be Bruce Perens... well if for no other good reason than me somehow being one of two of his Slashdot "foes." I still for the life of me can't figure out what I did... I know I didn't push his grandfather down a flight of stairs, etc... but I'm still thinking.
In addition to this, it will include a journaling file system, so us mere mortals can enjoy what Linux Geeks have had for years
And Windows users have had since... 1994? NTFS is journaling, and was WELL before e2fs was... (any of you old-school Linux users remember pulling the plug or hitting power on your Linux box back in the day and immediately screaming "OH SHIT!" when you realize you probably just corrupted a whole slew of data? I do.)
What's most interesting about this is after the "crash/error/send error report" dialog pops up, I get a small message box that says "IE has encountered an error and will need to close. Click OK to do so." However, if you don't click OK you still have complete use of the browser. I am submitting this in IE after having clicked the "crash" link on the front page.
I think Linux could benefit from scrapping X and developing a new, fast GUI system like Windows or MacOS. X is too dependent on networking protocols and is just pretty goddamn slow all-around. It will take a lot of effort to make something like this happen, but if Apple could do it why can't the open source community do it too? Instead of developing Window Manager # 123480, people need to collaborate and make a common, consistent, and standard layout that all programs can use, without all the bloat of the gtk+ and QT toolkits.
If you can tell me from whom you buy your marijuana, that would be awesome, because from your post alone I can tell that it is definitely some good shit.
If you think analog is "much higher quality" why is pretty much everything audio moving to digital? Care to enlighten me?
It has the XP explorer, but it ships with the themeing features disabled. If you want them (which you don't on a server) you are welcome to turn them on, I guess.
It comes with full blown terminal services + the XP 'remote console control' version of TS. The only difference is that you can run the terminal server client with the/console switch, which will alllow you do it remote-desktop style; however, you can also use standard-UNIX-style (create a new concurrent connection) terminal services.
Sorry to bust your (communist) bubble, but someone needs to pay for bandwidth and various streaming media stations. In case you haven't noticed, advertising provides a means to do this in the age of the internet. Sorry, bub, this isn't PBS -- no one's gonna call up and pledge. If you can't find a means to cover your operational costs you'll be out of business in no time.
Regardless, these are *features* that are optional. It's nice to know that they're there if you need them. So quit trolling with your GNU/Jihad about "information must be free!" That's sure a nice utopia to live in but come down to earth and enjoy something called the "real world."
Although someone complaining about optional available features on Slashdot doesn't surprise me in the least.
I am running Windows Media Services 9 on Windows Server 2003 RC1. It is simply awesome as a streaming media solution. First of all, if the client is a WMP 9 client.... there is no buffering! Instant start (on broadband only, naturally). Plus, you get a ton of configuration options on the WMS9 side. You can insert adverts automatically, apply all sorts of access control on the media (IP based, user/pass login, DRM, whatever you please).
The new IIS 6 comes in a super-secure default setup... allowing only.htm and.txt files to the outside world unless you go into the server configuration and edit this explicitly.... did I also mention that IIS 6 now stores its data in XML (similar to Apache directives) which can easily be exported to other servers if you're cloning or making a server farm.
Plus it's pretty damn stable. My server has been running for about 60 days now... and it handles a decent amount of traffic.
I like the new Remote Desktop/terminal services. You can remote to the actual server console now, instead of starting a new TS session. The OS itself also seems faster than Windows 2000. I'm running it on a PII/350 w/ 256 MB ram and it screams.
It also comes with that HTTP.SYS kernel serving thingee for IIS, but I'm a strict believer that a web server doesn't belong in the kernel (this applies to Linux too).
So far my experiences have been all positive. How bout everyone else?
Well to the ignorant that consider this Flamebait, I'll have you know that the 'GNU' in Debian GNU/Linux stands for "GNU's Not Unix." Surely any half-wit on Slashdot knows that. Leave it to me to point out the obvious.
This is "professional" grade audio by the standards. S/PDIF is not *professional grade*. AES/ABU on a 110 ohm cable is. S/PDIF is considered "consumer" grade. No XLR cables, no pro... that's how it goes.
Slashdot Mirror
This is yet another attempt at total desktop control,
Man, all these guys want to do is copy Apple!

Why did this get modded troll? It's a valid point -- those aircraft are completely fly-by-wire. (I htink you meant to say A330 though.)
For my fellow ADD'ers
Yes, this comparison of video codecs is quite HEY LOOK A GUY ON A BICYCLE!
Well I've never lost anything on an NTFS volume... so there?
My guess is because they threw it in OS X, everyone thought the same thing (bloat); however, STeve Jobs is getting richer by the day. You do the math.

Wrong. They're called "flashbacks" and you can have them years after tripping on acid. Which makes the original comment completely valid.

Assume they're a limited number of users. If they have a virus scanner it will be rounded up in the next batch of scans, hopefully.
Hotmail disables said account. Case closed...?
Dennis Ritchie himself uses Windows NT...
So is this something else that no one will buy on Amazon, just like the Segway?
Yeah, I'm hoping someone can write another version of biff or maybe an MP3 player.

The $$ they spend supporting and keeping up the quicktime server is probably outweighed by the small amount of users that actually use it.

Other UNIXes (e.g. Debian Linux) are not mentioned
:-/
Maybe cause Linux is not UNIX, dumbass.

You're not going to accuse them of "stealing" Solitaire now, are you?
