Skype works perfectly on the Asus eee. I've used the video conferencing on the stock OS as well as Xubuntu to chat with my wife. She was on a windows box and I was on the asus. I did upgrade my ram to 2 gigs though, but it should still work.
Well, my question is what can we do with it once its made. I've gathered the fact that you can use it to do tunnel DS games over the internet. Here is my idea (don't know if its possible or practical) what about a GB Advanced cartridge for the TCP/IP stack and little utils (like putty, etc) and a DS cartridge for things like web browsers or email utils. Not sure if it would work to use both cartridges at the same time or whatnot.
I'm not sure which monkey clicks your talking about, but I know for windows patches, if you run them from command line you can put in flags. `KB######/?` should give you the available options. What we've done at my work on certain occasions is to create a batch file that runs each of the patches, followed by a program that runs at the end to give priority to the proper patches (afraid I can't remember the program, but a google search should reveal). The "At" command also helps with scheduling that batch script. Another option we've explored heavily is PERL scripts.
One thing that is suppose to work well, though we can't use it at my site, is a SUS server. This is suppose to be a middle man for windows update. Allows you to approve patches before installing, and then you point all your windows boxes to the SUS for updates.
I knew a sys admin who could automate just about anything, and was lazy, so if he had to click, it wasn't good enough for him. There are a ton of tools in the windows 2k/2k3 resource toolkits. Hope this helps some.
Well, it is said that once someone has physical access to your machine, all security features are almost null and void. Shoot just bringing a knoppix cd bypasses most of it. Now in a corporate world where everyone has physical access, thats a different story, but I think this is in reference to home machines.
I don't understand what trouble they are having with opening the source. Isn't as easy as publishing the source code?
I guess I can understand the fear of losing the "write once, run anywhere" mentality, but if that's one of the main attractions to the language doesn't it stand to reason that people won't really veer to far off?
Not necessarily 33% less, just 33% slower I think. It seems to me that animals with slower heart rates, and metabolisms live longer.
"The average life expectancy of an elephant in the wild is 60 - 70 years, whereas it is around 70 - 80 years in domesticated ones." [http://www.wildlywise.com/ele_text.htm]
"Male Killer Whales have a life expectancy of 50 to 60 years, females however have a life expectancy of 90 years." [http://www.usd314.k12.ks.us/curriculum7/whales/wh ales.html]
The sea Turtle: "A mature female loggerhead was documented to live 33 years in captivity, while estimates of their life expectancy range up to 60 - 75 years or more." [http://www.cresli.org/cresli/turtles/loggerhd.htm l]
But at the same time, you have to take into consideration the animals place on the food chain.
The Gazelle: "They have a life expectancy of 12 - 15 years" [http://www.wildlywise.com/chinkara.htm]
I wonder if natural selection has a factor on this as well. Between two gazelle's for example, the one who is the faster sprinter will survive longer, a faster sprinter will more likely have a faster metabolism, and may burn themselves out more quickly, thereby lowering the general life expectancy of the gazelles.
Every morning when we would all fall out before morning PT, we would always get this long winded shpeel: "...Trainees are reminded to drink 1/4 to 1/2 canteens of water per hour not to exceed 12 canteens in a day..." (bla bla bla). Apparently a while before I had gotten there, a trainee drank a whole lot of water all at once, I heard a rumor that it was upwards of 20 canteens. In any case there is an actual name for it along the lines of Hyponitremeia or something like that. I can't remember exactly what happens but it has to do with having to much water and not having enough salt in your system.
1 canteen = 8 or 16 fl oz (been almost 2 years can't remember)
It's bad enough that the rest of the Internet is also posting lame April-fools stories.
Oh, I don't know, that Google Lunar Complex was damn funny, as was UserFriendly and Thinkgeek's coverpage. Pay close attention to the geek points for each item on the front page:-D
Its probably a bit more expensive than what you need/want but thinkgeek has a crash recovery device here.
If you decide to use a computer for it, you might want to have something like PcAnywhere (or something similar) running so you could remote into it if there is a problem. You'd probably want something like this to automate your keystrokes/mouse clicks. And something like this might work for daily maintenance and scheduled shutdowns.
I imagine you could pretty easily take apart the mouse and take the wires hooked to left click and wire them to a door bell, then record the macro in that program mentioned above to do whatever you need to start the video/flash/ppt presentation.
Apparently the emails that were sent weren't ignored. PCWorld is running an article stating the vulnerability is patched.
"We learned of a cross-site scripting issue in Yahoo Mail, and immediately began working towards a resolution which was implemented yesterday," says Mary Osako, senior director of communications at Yahoo
Ok, maybe I'm an idiot for asking this, but its been bothering me for a while. Open source, why is it more secure than proprietary?
4. "It's simply going to be more secure than proprietary software."
if the source code is exposed, then the open source community as a whole can look at it, and discover the flaws, but isn't it equally as logical that a potential hacker can look at the source code and discover an equal amount of vulnerabilities to be used against the nameless masses that use the software?
It seems to me, that if a malicious hacker wanted to find vulnerabilities in a closed source code, it would be mostly guess work. Whereas with open source, it will all be right out in front of you. Please correct me if I'm wrong or if I'm missing something here.
It seems to me that they are having the same problem/. had with microsoft. Couldn't that be used as some sort of precedence to assist in any legal battle this guy may have if he decides to go down that path? For that matter, is it just me, or did he make a mistake by altering what was posted as it opened him up to be liable for all content and censorship of said content?
I've never used the site, but it sounds like a good one, I know a couple teachers who I would like to warn people about. I wish I would have known about it before last semester.
Just chew this stick of pure sugar whenever you get cravings, and if you get another bad craving during the day, hell have another stick.
Caffiderm dissolves in your mouth almost instantly for that fast acting relief
Don't forget to try our other caffiene step program products, such as: Pixy stixs, whether for play or your daily snorting habits, always satisfiying, and button candy, can't quite snort these fella's, but we won't tell if you wanna try:-)
I disagree, reason being school teachers don't really need access to the computers during class time or whatnot (at least not in my old HS). I could see many uses for an old computer, hell my main computer crashed and I'm on a 150Mhz computer right now. You could put it in a student area and allow them to browse the internet behind netnanny or something. They can't cause to much trouble because the computer can't handle causing to much trouble.
There are other uses in schools, my typing class couldn't have been on much more than a glorified type writer/part time paper-weight and I learned well enough. At absolute worse the schools themselves could even give them to the less than well off students, they would know alot better than a stranger who is in need if they are any type of teacher to begin with.
Do you REMEMBER what utter CRAP AMD chips used to be???
I personally have no idea what your talking about, I've used AMD for the better part of 5 years now, and never had a problem with the chip itself, to confirm AC's note, the only problems I've ever had with AMD computers is crappy motherboars/chipsets.
I've been reading/. for quite a while now and still shake my head at some of these responses, I made an opinionated statement which I'm entitled too and have been attacked for such and called ignorant as well as being moderated (in my opinion unfairly) as a flamebite.
The hostilities that have been prevelant throughout most posting are often extremely disheartening and unprofessional. Personally I'm just a bit awe-struck. Maybe it could have been worded better, maybe it could have been better researched, maybe i have no clue what I'm talking about, but beratement is just going to turn me off of this site and lack of understanding is going to make me resent this place and eventually I may just turn into one of these bitter posters who have nothing constructive to say and therefore rely on showing my own supposed intellectual superiority by belittling those who are actually trying to improve upon their own knowledge. Therefore, I say if you don't have something constructive to say gfy.
I wonder how long it will take for AMD to develop a better technique. Not to mention with AMD's new 64 bit architecture this silicon stressing will really be just to keep up with AMD.
Doesn't this really just focus on the clock speed of the processor which has already been proven not to be the focal point of performance? Switching faster won't increase the bandwidth, maybe it will just be able to push more through the same amount of space then?
I personally have always had a hard time with books with a ton of characters. It's difficult for me to 'imagine' the appearances of a lot of different people.
When I'm reading a book, I personally create a person in my mind based on previous experiences. If the character strikes me as an middle aged male who is down on his luck type of thing I'll take a character from a movie or tv show I saw that matches that description. In a story containing a lot of characters, its very difficult for me to keep track of all the people and the templates that I've associated with them. To watch part of a series first, you will be introduce a template that is much more accurate (if cast right) and memorable.
Another point, take the Harry Potter Series, you watch the first two movies, introduce yourself to the character persona's. You enjoy the movies, get the experience, then you read the books, and you enjoy the books, you double the enjoyment of the experience. On top of that, you will be able to read ahead of the movie lines as opposed to waiting for the movies if you feel so inclided to.
don't try to stick out in basic training, its only six and a half weeks when you go through, in tech school, the class is going to be so much bs until block 3-6, and your going to alaska, deal with it. When you break up with "her" don't drink that night, its not good.
oh and mom's going to move to florida after you graduate highschool, you get the car and it throws a rod, make sure to dog eirik about it to the full extent...again:-D. DO NOT let eirik trade the mazda afterwards, tell him to get the jeep then.

But I don't see the Lunar base...Maybe thats why they haven't placed the G flag there yet.
