I recon the owner is looking at it purely from a sales/inventory point of view, so he's only interested in what it rings up as at the checkout counter. He couldn't care less what the customer does with 'em.
The Colour AsCii Art library of which he himself says: 'I am perfectly aware that libcaca is the waste of time it looks to be. No need to tell me about that.'
Sounds like he has a pretty humble attitude about this whole thing.
But why the hell these machines were on any kind of a network with any type of connection to the Internet is another question altogether.
The nothing says it was attached directly to the Internet. A machine can be on a LAN--even temporarily--and still get this worm from another infected machine.
First off, Blender's awesome. It took me quite a bit of learning to get the hang of the basics, but it was easily worth it. And I'm in awe of how much work these guys get done for each release.
Anyway, looks like the site's/.ed now, but I believe 2.3 is just a preview release and doesn't include all the features found in the previous release. I think it's basically just a showcase for the new GUI improvements to come. I tried 2.30 and noticed right off that the sound sequencing wasn't working, so I went back to 2.28. The new GUI looks awesome, but there will be a small learning curve for previous users. But if it gets more people using Blender, it'll be well worth it!
Nah, if you want one, just get a burner now. As long as the compression is same, you can wait on the dual-layer or Blue-Ray to come down in price, buy one, then transfer the video straight from your 4.7 GB disks to the new formats--no recompression, just some re-authoring. The only thing I worry about is media longevity; hopefully they can sort this out before my current media goes bad. But if you have the itch, I'd say now is a good time to scratch it.
I believe Linux adoption will skyrocket immediately after SCO's case finally dies (along with SCO itself). Linux has already been well-proven technically, but success in the courtroom gives an impression of corporate backing and strength, and more will look at Linux as terra firm. And the bigger SCO's claims get, the stronger Linux will look after a victory. Even average home users often decide what tech products they will buy based on which companies/brands will likely be around for a while, and they are probably least likely to pick a cheapie newcomer just for cost's sake. (Yes, Linux is 10+ years old, but you know what I mean.)
Eh well, another $.02US gone...
I think we need good hardware motion blurring. But with 90 fps looking pretty good to me, I would think 300 fps should really be Good Enough (tm) for most practical purposes. $.02, and nothing more...

That's right, I'm accusing you of being a COMPUTER LANGUAGE BIGOT!
Can't we all just get along?!?!
As always, a great way to kick off a long and meaningful friendship.
It has NOTHING to do with SVG, Flash, or Web standards.
Nothing to do with SVG? So is the "90% identical to SVG" claim a lie, coincidence, or both?

Well that explains it. For X Windows you need an XMCSE. The MCSE is only for regular Windows. Duh.
I, for one, look forward to playing Stephen Hawking in Unreal Tournament 2004.
Whew.... Thank God. For a minute there I thought you were gonna say something else.
That would be giving them.........way too much credit.

Kudos to Ton & the gang.
I hear they already have the free pr0n servers up and running. Just waiting for the rest of the system to be built. ;)
Just look at it this way: you won't have to worry about upgrading your processor for a long, Long, LONG time. ;)
This is /. We gets it where we can.

Is this a clever ruse by the IEEE to confuse dyslexic lawyers?
don't try to get on a plane with one of these! ;)

...we don't have any really spectacular stories today, because no one will believe 'em. "Wolf? Yeah, right. Go home ya little..AAAAHHHH!"
