the root DNS servers hold the database for all the top level domains like.com and.net. the problem being, that there are only 13 or 14 root servers that are accessible to the general public.
My thought is that software and music CDs might leave some blank space, for DRM information to be written after the first use/installation.
So, you purchase your software/music and information that uniquely identifies your computer/media appliance is written to the disk, and checked each time you use your software to make sure that you don't do somthing evil, like upgrading or replacing your computer without relicensing all your software.
personally i think typing is a matter of prefrence and a matter of application. I tend to prefer strongly typed languages and those that are very structured, because it's harder to make careless errors (say whatever you want, but nobody's perfect). But some problems are just infinately easier to solve using a loosely typed language such as perl. It is unfair to say that language Foo is better than language Bar, because they all have a purpose. Assembler is fast. Java is platform independant. PHP and ASP are good for webpages Some languages might be inappropriate for a certain task, but there is no such thing as a bad language. Except cobol. cobol is a tool of the devil
I find that opening in a text editor, with a clear font works. Also, if you adjust your font size and size of your editor window to resemble a page in a book, you will find your text files much easier to read
i experimented with the java applet, it's definately not suitable for somone with a physical disability. the algorithms for statistically determining the next letter were great, and i think it could be applied elsewhere, but i think this was a poor implementation
I eliminated all trace of microsoft software from all my machines way back in december of 99...
it's certainly not been easy, but i've managed to do it. It was NOT a trivial task. Redhat was the most complete distribution, and it didn't have so many bugs back then. It still only had KDE 1.x, StarOffice was the only usable office suite and it was huge and bulky and slow, driver support was awful.. the only redeeming features were the stability, and the GPL.
I've since graduated from redhat to slackware, and now linux is almost ready for the desktop. All the good hardware is supported, StarOffice 6/OpenOffice.org 1 run at a decent pace, KDE 3.1 is a great desktop environment. Konqueror is a really good browser. The only thing i'm missing now is the games; winex is pretty good, but developers need to release some native apps.
Aparently samba is coming quite nicely too, but what would i know.. i've not had a windows machine to share files with in just over 3 years.
I wonder what the the company lawyer would say about the licenses on some software we install?
Didn't MS recently add a clause to one of their licenses that states that they were allowed to change the terms of the license without notifying us first?
a number of things come to mind: 1) if you have an SQL server that was infected, and patches were available that you neglected to install, then it's your fault
2) if some infected sql servers wasted some of your bandwidth, then it's not microsoft's fault, because the author of the worm, and the negligent sysadmins that failed to patch their servers, are to blame.
Now, i wonder if we could have microsoft in a class action lawsuit, for the bandwidth that their infected SQL servers used up on networks that did not suffer from these vulnerablilites? That would make sense, because it is *reasonable* to expect that a company that released a security fix for a software product, would have applied that patch to their own servers.
I'm a canadian! We have dollar coins here. For those of you who don't know, it's called a "Loonie" because the coin features a Loon on one side. A few years ago we also introduced a two dollar coin, called the "Toonie", whose name is really more of a bad joke.
It is in my opinion that with all the money our government saves by replacing the paper currency with coins we should recieve a tax credit for the cost of having all our pockets reinforced to carry the extra weight.
Those coins are damn heavy when you've got 20 bucks in loonies, and now they're talking about making a 5 dollar coin.

Draino is a drain cleaner made mostly from Sodium Hydroxide, also known as Lye.
However, getting pure flake lye is the ideal for this experiment. ( Pure lye can be puchased at hardware stores for drain cleaning/soap making, as well as from pool supply stores.)

Well, you can tell i like this idea alot
yeah, but to avoid bad PR, new video drivers would probably appear on the scene quickly
What good is a business plan if it doesn't make "Profit!!!" ?

Absolutely Nothing, but it was funnier than your comment and this comment put together

I've done it already...
i can run linux on my guitar!
I still cant get the sound to work though...

Actually.. that was a real unix app.
i cant remember what it was called, but i think it was made by SGI. It was a 3D file manager.
Okay.. not like she would actually have had much experience with IRIX or anything...
Surely eveyone in north america is familiar with the Air Miles ( canadian version) card, and the business model behind it.
To my understanding, passport is similar. It's supposedly a data mining operation.
Now, in that case FireFly was probably purchased because it provided a framework for the data mining capabilities that would make Passport profitable
Just my thoughts, what does everyone else think?

a few more RFCs to check out:
RFC 2325 - "Definitions of Managed Objects for Drip-Type Heated Beverage Hardware Devices using SMIv2" - snmp managed coffee pots"
RCF 2549 "IP over Avian Carriers with Quality of" Service
i don't remember for sure, but i was pretty sure that the FSF would give legal assistance to an author of GPL code?
That's an interesting idea actually.

No.
ogg is supposed to be 30% higher compression with equal quality,
OR

He was the guy that greatly helped in the development of the modern digital syntesizer..
And did the first "record scratch" (beatles song) and the first "analog loop" ( cash register, money, pink floyd)
and put out what was possibly the first CD to ever be digitally recorded, and mastered.
