If they move this thing and all the archives of it to the same place isn't that sort of putting all your eggs in one basket? Is all that stuff going to be on the same machine?
Apparently I can still send my fellow North Carolinians death threats, sexually harass them, send them chain letters, and generally clutter up their "in box" via the "magic" of e-mail while concealing my identity, as long as I'm not doing it in order to sell them a product or service.
Initial Public Offering. When a company is going to "go public" (offer their stock for sale to anybody with the money to buy it, as opposed to privately held companies which are incorporated but the stock was only sold to certain people, like the friends and family of the people who started the company)they arrange to be listed on one of the stock exchanges, like the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) if they're going to be a really big company, like GM or GE, or the AMEX. For this to happen one or more stock brokerages licensed to trade on that exchange are brought on board to handle the initial sale of the stock. If you want to buy you have to buy from them (or get your broker to buy from them for you). Once someone other than the company issuing the stock owns some shares you can try buying it from them (Chances are they'll want you to pay them more than they paid for it), but the first time the stock is available for sale to the general public is the Initial Public Offering. This is the point at which the Securities Exchange Commission (the SEC)gets involved. They have lots and lots of rules and regulations designed to protect prospective investors and the general public from being cheated or defrauded. Generally what happens is that the stock is offered (ahead of time)in large blocks to institutional investors (mutual funds, pension funds, etc.)who have the money to buy hundreds or thousands of shares. If there is a lot of demand for the company's stock some of those investors may turn right around and sell at a higher price. The problem with doing things this way is that the company issuing stock is doing so to raise money but winds up with only a fraction of the amount represented by the current share price times the number of shares sold. On the other hand it's nice to know that all of your shares are pre-sold and you won't be publicly humiliated (and damaged in the eyes of potential creditors or venture partners)by having a big chunk of your stock go unsold.
See the July '99 (just came out) edition of Scientific American for more than several pages about fuel cells, including how small ones, recharged with methanol capsules, could replace batteries in many handheld devices.
So if you paid $179.99 for 3.1 and whatever it was for DOS 5 or 6 you could then pay $89.99 or $98.99 or something like that for the Win95 upgrade, resulting in an expenditure of over $300 for the equivalent of a product selling for $179.99? Then 3 years later you could increase your running total to over $400 to get the Win98 upgrade so that you can have the same software your neighbor got for about half that price because he bought the full version. Don't you just love the way MS rewards the faithful by letting them subsidize first-time customers?
I'd been wondering why I couldn't read stuff on screen as fast as stuff on dead trees, no matter what size or resolution monitor. Got any links to those lab tests?
How about coupling the RG-58 to the RG-59 (or RG-6) and back again with transformers? Impedence matching and DC isolation in one. Of course, if the cable company is doing their own base band signalling over those lines your system and their's will probably keep crashing each other, and I'm sure there's some fine print somewhere in your lease or cable contract that says they get to sic their lawyers on you if you use their cable for anything.
I've seen plans for a satellite TV dish made out of concentric plywood rectangles, but the idea of an antenna made out of a rooftop sound even more intriguing.
I had a thought the other day and would appreciate comments from those who understand this stuff better than I do. It occurred to me that your average BNC jack equipped NIC card only knows whether or not there's a load of the proper impedence and trermination attached for it to work into or whether or not there's a recongnizable (right voltage, right duty cycle, right waveform)signal present across its input. So instead of coupling cards together with RG-58 or whatever, what about just sticking antennas (antennae?) on them instead? I realize that your average UHF, 2 meter, whatever, "rubber duckie" would probably be all wrong impedence-wise at baseband frequencies, but with the right antenna design could this work over short distances?
I am also accepting opinions (informed, humourous, and otherwise)as to the meaning of BNC.
As I understand it the reason for it being slow has something to do with being on the same IDE channel as the cdrom drive. It is for this reason that several usually reliable sources recommend putting your cdrom drive on your secondary IDE channel (IRQ 15) and your "C" drive on the primary(IRQ 14) even if those 2 are your only IDE devices.
There was a link somewhere on Slashdot a few months ago to a history of video games. It's long but interesting. It mentioned that apparently more than several computers featured hardware that "walked" out the back doors of video game companys.
It says at the bottom that the guy wrote a book about MS, so his objectivity can't necessarily be assumed, but also keep in mind that this is on a site owned by ABC, a company that wants you to watch their TV shows(or at least the Disney channel).
It is an arrangement with Red Hat. The 5.2 box set comes with a book that's the Red Hat book with a couple of extra pages added on the front by McMillan and in the RH part of the book they(RH)say that they partner with other companies to physically distribute their product(and that you should contact that other company for support). As I indicated in my previous post, this is probably to get the product into places they couldn't otherwise,such as bookstores and office supply stores, places that would know and trust the McMillan Publishing brand. My only gripe is how the package seems to be designed to make buyers think that they are getting the actual "supported by Red Hat" version of Red Hat's version of Linux.
Did that RH you saw by any chance have "Red Hat" and "Linux" in big letters and "McMillan Digital Publishing" in little bitty letters on the box? The McMillan name (long and well known among the dead tree crowd) probably got Red Hat Linux box sets into a lot of stores that wouldn't have given RH the time of day (and then those boxes suckered a lot of people who thought they were buying a Red Hat package with Red Hat support because they didn't know there could be non-RH versions of RH).
but I'm gonna say it anyway. I believe the original went "If you can't go to college, go to Campbell" and didn't mention MooU at all. Oh well, you can always tell a dookie (but not much).
Now that we've seen all the things that can go wrong and ahve to be guarded against (monopolies, not enough numbers for everybody's fridge to have it's own static IP, squatting, etc.) isn't it time to end the experiment and put together the real internet?

Is that some one who's only critical at a certain time of year?
(or maybe they meant "ardent critic")
Is NT workstation limited to 10 workstations in a peer-to-peer workgroup for technical reasons or just because they coded in a license limit?
Whadda ya bet he and Rob can spell "fully vested" just fine?
(just kidding, I'm delighted for them and us)

By the time you "download" a full cup I don't think it'll be steamin' hot anymore.

Chevy had a fuel injected V-8 back in '57 or '58.
('course Diesels have always been fuel injection)

At first I thought you meant Central Carolina Bank, but that's CCB. What does CBC stand for ? (Haven't been through the Cap city in a while)

Seems to me that "Too many memes, too little time." would be a pretty neato sig.
Is there a patron saint of parity?
Same day or same date? It's not quite the same. At first I thought you meant you heard of Kelly's death a year or two early.
