And I thought I got pissed when File Sharing didn't work through the MSN Jabber Transport @ jabber.at.
Is this the end of Specially modified MIRC DCC server software as we know it?. Isn't DCC a direct connection to the client, not through the Network?. (Because they say that DCC won't work through firewalls). Ahh the days of hanging around in #(anonymous) typing !list, finding something interesting it and triggering the connection by typing !(trigger name) or/ctcp (nick name) (trigger name)
"Now if you will download Exodus and sign up at jabber.org, we can get back to trading pr0n again!"
I don't think I'll bother to register with/chanserv again.
As long as I can disable the f**king things (just in case I decide to steal $20 billion off Bill Gates and distribute it among the Debain and *BSD projects)
And Longhorn Alpha identifies itself as NT 6.0 (Anyone know about 2003 server?).
All MS OSes not in EOL mode (9x series OSes, however). are NT based. Win Me although it is not really in EOL mode, has forcibly been pushed into the process (which is strange when It was really mixed Win98 and Win2000 (more Win2000 , less Win98) code sitting on a updated DOS kernel
I look forward to the day when I can run Apache and PostgreSQL servers on ReactOS and happily put up 'Runs on ReactOS, suck crap Microsoft' images all over my website. However, I won't permanetly abandon Linux.
Ahh, you realise most of the stuff in your comment is either Vaporware or stuff in progress.
Implement the ReactOS kernel as a GNU Hurd daemon, with built-in 3d graphics support based on the Duke Nukem Forever engine (running on top of WINE's DirectX layer).
What version of the Duke Nukem Foreven engine (1st DOOM engine based, 2nd Quake 1 Alpha based or the 3rd ?? Based)
Then, we plan to hire Loki games to implement an X-Windows compatibility layer, and we've arrived!
You realise Loki games is in Chapter 7 liquidation.
The way I see it, AMD has been the weasel ever since adopting the XP rating format. Suddenly a 2800+ is a 2083 MHz part instead of a 2250 MHz part?..because of 256K more L2? Where is that 2800+ anyway? I tried to get one at NewEgg and they didn't have .
Think of it as a 2250MHz CPU pre overclocked at the factory to 2800MHz.
Now Athlon 64 gets delayed...and they still think they can compete with Intel
But isn't it true that AMD can sell processors for a lower price (Just like ATI (Radeon 9700) and NVIDIA (TI4200 easily overclockable to TI4600 speeds and much cheaper). Or is it the other way around?. Unfortunately, the "Budget" CPU's are no more (But the VIA C3 is kinda one of them, but has anyone seen any laptops or PDA's based on it. It's a good upgrade option for those with Slot 1 or Socket 370 motherboards because they only need to buy a new CPU (Slot 1 motherboard users have to by a Slot-ket adaptor though))
I hope good things come with IBM's desktop POWER4 derivative as well
If Apple and IBM can pull it off (whats the release date for the POWER4 anyway?), Macs can be the first desktops to be 64-bit. (And maybe make them more serious Servers when you combine them with OS X. Apple.com has run a max uptime of 134 days on Mac OSX and probably has only one Solars server as backup (24 days max). )
I thought Microsoft was being anti-compeditive by not releasing a x86-64 version of Windows when the IA64 version came out (Wasn't AMD going to turn to Linux if Microsoft only produced Intel versions?)

So it looks like 1 root server cannot be reached from my location (Geelong, Australia). I was able to reach b.root-servers.net though. I can't be bothered to do all of them.
On the back of my "Is the RIAA liable to hacking charges" discussion, do sysadmins have any legal ground against this company if a user downloads stuff off a P2P network beliving it's real, but then realises 'that was a waste of time and bandwidth'. I wonder what the IP backbone providers will think of this?
Microsoft claims it's for providing "safe computing", citing viruses, etc., but does it seem like a coincidence that Microsoft is also currently pitching a DRM system to the entertainment industry? Without something like Palladium, DRM is dead in the water.
Nah, chances are it will faint on seeing files matching:
> a) Australians can't be nerds or geeks
I better hope some insensitive clod doesn't say that. Anyone, one of them (I can't be sure, it could be both) got forked and was called a 'Atomitican'.
.
a) Maybe there are just a lot of us around. And, after all, where does Samba [samba.org] come from?. Uh, blame the Australian education system for that. My friend hates Linux because it has too much 'Saftey'. (Someone please tell me how to panic a kernel safely so I can prove him wrong)
Just pull down the NETSCAPE_7_01_RTM_RELEASE Tag from the mozilla.org cvs.
I don't know of any way you can lock the prefs window (apart from removing it from the menu's.).
Download the Mozilla src tree. This gives you some insight of the files in the chrome/ folder before the are packed. You can still uncompress and recompess them from a binary Mozilla install though
Start off by creating a profile (install everything, e.g theme in user space so it doesn't invade the global chrome folder)
Remove the options you don't want from the prefs window. (Fonts and Colors might be the only one you need)
Finally, I don't have to tell my end users to download a 23mb JDK for the sake of running my application. Now if they will just include PostgreSQL in Windows, I could just distribute my app as a single 1mb package. I agree with psycht, it's about time. (But will it show up as a critical download for existing MSJVM users in Windows Update?)
After hearing a bit more on this topic (sorry, my doctor told me not to each a lot of bananas), aplogies to any Scientists offended by my comments (No bananas were hurt in the process of writing my comment). Ok, you can study it so you can make something to kill off fungus, but what about those people who only eat organic food?.
Why are scientists trying to study this genetic bullshit for no reason. What good goes studing a banana's genetic code do for humantiy. A yet, we are still a Type 1 Civilisation (Civilisation that grows up and utilitises the resources of it's home planet), and we are unlikley to become a Type 2 (One that expands into it's solar system) until 2015/2020 (Mars missions). Until we become a more advanced Civilisation, what good does studing the genetic code of fruit?. Perhaps we should just teach em' some Unix/Linux basics and turn them into kernel developers (These days, Microsoft jobs won't score much)
I've heard of this before. What good does the text services by simplifying the authentication and authorization process. do when from a users point of view, it sounds like Enchanced User Experiance - Web Based single sign on so I don't have to have multiple logins for one web site.
But doesn't Passport virtually do the same thing, just have Passport or something simular do the authentication then simply create references against passports (or something simular) in a database.
But I remember, this is meant for the enterprise. Nothing does better than an/etc/passwd file, NIS or LDAP or Samba (configured to imiate NT) and xdm/kdm/gdm. I wonder why IT admins waste their time when free and out of the box solutions already exist?
Heck, you need to learn reading official product specs are the most reliable source of info on a product and if that ain't true, just call your lawyer. On the Sun Website, it says and I quote:

* Sun Solaris[tm] 9 and 8 Operating Environments for 32- and 64-bit UltraSPARC®
* Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Service Pack 2 or later
* Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
".
No linux, no Solaris x86, no Windows Whistler/XP, no Longhorn XP Alpha, no FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, no Minix, no MicroBSD, no IRIX, no OpenUNIX, no Windows 2003 RC1/2. The list goes on.
I belive one problem behind not using Mozilla in Safari is because it required the use of the Gtk+ toolkit. Disadvantages over Qt are:
You can use it in proprietary apps: Qt is availiable in a proprietary edition. Apple couldn't really hack Gtk+ to point to Carbon, Classic or Cocoa (NeXTStep/OpenStep) without having to send the changes back to the FSF (and with MacOS X and Darwin on non-GPL compliant (BSD?) licenses, it wouldn't be legal to do that anyway
Qt can be styled a bit: A problem that dooms GNOME (and it's prequisites: Gtk, Pango etc.) is because of a lack of Desktop intergration, especially in the styling area (e.g, A KDE theme maker can specify both Window decorations and Widget style in the same theme, but GNOME (therefore Gtk+, Sawfish etc.) theme makers have to do without
I don't explicitly belive that MacOS(/X) ports of Mozilla use Gtk (Windows and Unix ones do, but Unix uses xlib along with Gtk) (can someone from Mozilla.org confirm this). One problem with Mozilla is:
XUL overhead: Gecko can't be modified to drop XUL Support easily. This is something Apple Didn't need.
I wonder, If the RIAA sends a worm through P2P networks and shut's the networks down, can the RIAA representatives be charged with hacking?. Besides, not all files on P2P networks are illegal.
The only way that software piracy will be stopped is if software publishers stop putting up prices so
high.
Heck, A lot of kids at my school have CD Burners and will sell anybody a copy of the Sims for a mere $5 Australian Dollars. When will software publishers get the point?
I honestly don't think selling Super Nintendo's will do much good. Any one who wants to play an old SNES game justs gets an emulator, and transfers the rom to disk.
