You tell em brother. Please label that flaimbait because it is.
I built a system for my mother and one for her friend. Immediately I looked for integrated video. Its cheaper. Its more "integrated" thus requires less maintainanace in the form of drivers.
The original post must have been written "tongue in cheek." Their is no way integrated video will EVER be viable for the gamer. If it is ever viable for the gamer, it will cost too much for the primary audience...our non-gaming family members.
I have never heard of rsync, but I have a samba PDC in my basement. I'm not any hotrod Linux hacker or anything. My wife asked me how come she didnt see the same favorites on both computers?
I made it so. I'm a good husband.
Besides, these things are not just toys right? It was damn easy. Buying as much as an NT server still costs no less than $500 on ebay. samba cost about 5 minutes in FTP to get the latest for RedHat. On my K6-233 Asus tx97x its flawless. Flawless i say.
Ramble on.
Everytime I login I feel a little geekdom. Everytime my wife *doesen't* complain about the computer I feel like THE MAN. You see in my house I am Bill Gates. If windows breaks, I get the blame. If Linux is too confusing, I get the blame. So what we have here is the best of both worlds. BTW, i used to get pissed at the IT department for taking so long to launch new OSes. Now I am about to take XP off my computer because its loosing faxes and the printer dont work on it, etc... Its affecting my love life;)
Installation on windows is a way to let the OS, and in turn other applications, know of your presence. As such you are hindering what the DOJ has sued for. If your browser does not tell the OS its their, other applications will have to "fallback" on IE for their web content. Such applications include Quicken, MSMoney, TurboCAD, Media Jukebox, etc...
Windows 2000 was supposed to end all the rebooting. How soon we forget the promises.
I have learned since I set up a samba PDC at home that some of the installation features play well with network domains. You dont want everything to be on the network. Some things are local to the computer, some things are local to the user, and some things are totally global. For instance, your OE mailboxes can be on the network, but the server information is kept in the registry.
M$ does not employ stupid people. Their products are nice, but their management is questionable.
That is a nice start, but why support the M$ monolopy which Netscape/AOL does not seem to be interested in breaking. Why support the M$ keystore is what I mean???
Why is he doing stuff that is already free and popular in PGP. He is only offering mail certs. When he offers beyond mail certs, then I will be happy to see it. But im not knocking him, hes done a good job.
That is a very important point. People may be engineered to believe a Trusted site means the site is reputable, versus only meaning the site is exactly who they identify themselves as.
When will customers ever comprehend that a site could put a "BUY WITH PAYPAL" button on their site, but when you push it, it only goes to a fake paypal site to steal your login info. Customers just don't understand that reality.
For me the whole idea of Java is to put the hardware consideration on the JVM manufacturer. For the average programmer this saves them work. But for me in the Automotive industry I keep trying to explain to my company this means less liability for us.
I relate this to certificates because a CA can easily pass the buck on to the credit industry by simply letting everyone know the only thing required for a signature is a valid Credit card number. Credit cards can easily be tracked. In any event, this is all the security your average hacking programmer needs. Free software does not need anymore security than that. For my Fortune 100 company, I would recommend they use somebody they can sue if the certs are cracked.
I say the same thing about signing my Java applets. Sun only puts Verisign or Thawte root certificates. So if you want to avoid your customers seeing some redicuouls
"Jesus!! this software is unsigned!!!"
message, then you gotta buy the certz. I am self signing right now. I would love if OSDN could have their own root certificate and let us public folks buy from them. Any malicious signers will be found out quickly so whats the big deal???
I think this signing thing is DRM in action. Nobody is realizing it yet.
NO this seems like an awefully small amount of money. Does 67M approach the amount they profitted off of the price fixing? It should be at least that amount, plus a punative amount.
$67M is a Joke. A single company could foot that.

To say the stock market has no bearing on reality is to suggest that you are living in a fantasy world.
A stock crash tends to make people even. people that worked 30 years investing to get an advantage over their neighbor suddenly are on even keel. That is quite frustrating and reduces confidence in those it happens too, and those watching it happen to someone else.
Actually its just like windows error messages. When my fuel pump is failing on my 95 Blazer with the bass ackwards OBDI...It always reports o2 sensor errors but never lean fuel or anything else that would suggest fuel pump.
As in windows the codes require a bit of "interpretation." ala the Book of Daniel...
Actually the auto makers have always had much incentive to release the codes. But their relationship with the dealerships has kept them from doing that. The dealerships of course make LOTS of money from diagnostics, not the manufacturers.
But the dealerships start to be at opposition with the manufacturers when warranty claims are made. Perhaps they got too much opposition and sowered the OEMs a bit too much!?
As someone who works in the industry on the engineering side I am very familiar with their "codes."
The codes will be USELESS to a mechanic. A mechanic needs a "TOOL." A mechanic is not a programmer or engineer. He will still pay $300 for the tool to read the codes. he will still pay $100 per 'module' for each car's codes he wants to read.
He can do that now. So the hope is that more tools will be developed and that will bring the cost of the tools down.
Don't confuse this with any ability to modify anything. These will be read only idiot codes like "o2 is out of range" or "Low Voltage."
It still takes a good mechanic to find the problem and often, VERY DAMN OFTEN, the codes are simply misleading the mechanic when his nose and ears have already given him the answer.
The fact that this is even in the software tells you where kazaa Executives heads are at. This is something that;
1. Likely came out of a brainstorming meeting. 2. People agreed was a good idea. 3. Programmers coded and tested it. 4. Kazaa as a whole looked at it and said, "its a go, launch it."
Obviously they spend considerable time thinking up these schemes. Considering the Kazaa environment is defined, this is likely what their software 'engineers' spend their time working on.
What about the International Starcraft League, and all the other leagues that were up in WArcraft II days that all used points and ranking systems based on your games won. But also had points based on your sportsmanship.
THis is definitly an idea that came out of the gaming and Forum community.
I still get tempted to use KDE because so many people said KDE was better and I consider myself computer savvy so I thought I should use KDE.
But I couldn't find the RedHat RPM tools on KDE. I didnt see RedHat network. I used KDE but had to switchdesk to GNome to do any administration.
Next, can we get rid of the 100 word processors and text editors?? Its confusing as hell to have so many damn tools that do the same thing. Is this an OS or a program war???
As I have said, the level of security is inversly proportional to the number of people with a desire to circumvent said security.
The only deterrence will be litigation. Thus you can see the new microsoft security model forming before you eyes. I am assuming they will be hiring a new batch of lawyers. Now the RIAA wont have to sue, but M$ will be suing for violating their DRM server.
Its getting nastier by the day.
You can simply obey the law...Of course so could they;)

No. The k62 does MMX if I am not mistaken. It uses dual voltages. the k6 does not use dual voltages.

Seems like Linux has a viable strategy in the works. Wonder how M$ will respond?
Port GNU applications to windows and let people get comfortable at home before they make the Linux Journey.
Free. Nasty. M$ style warfare.

On Board Diagnostics is a tool. You can read the codes with the tool.
What the codes mean is the point.
Actually the auto makers have always had much incentive to release the codes. But their relationship with the dealerships has kept them from doing that. The dealerships of course make LOTS of money from diagnostics, not the manufacturers.
But the dealerships start to be at opposition with the manufacturers when warranty claims are made. Perhaps they got too much opposition and sowered the OEMs a bit too much!?

Diagnostic codes are read only. They will not be releasing any modification codes I am willing to bet.

What do you expect. They feel like their userbase are all criminals so they don't care about abusing them.
Not much different of an attitude from the RIAA.
3df/x tried that foolishness. It was just before they died...
You think this is tied to the popularity increas of Linux in the userbase? The webservers have always been around...
;)
Seems like the golves are coming off. Perhaps we need a sample of this worm to test its DNA and determine its origins

I guess I am missing it because I was NOT aware that sun was suing M$ to force them to include Java. Whose Java? I dont believe that.
