I'd really rather apple buy out the company.
Despite my complaints about QuickTime, apple has been rather nice about keeping iTunes using mp3 for output, and more recently support Ogg Vorbis for playback. They might start including digital copies of music in addition to the CD tracks, and definitly wouldn't go to the extreme of copy protection schemes that crash macintoshes (anyone have a link?)
that a mailserver serves mail for its domain could help prevent a lot of problems. The infamous "fakemail" bug of the SMTP protocol, whereby anyone can send any email from any address, comes to mind.
Is anything being done to secure the smtp protocol? I'd like to see encryption between mailservers, domain authentication, and possibly even user authentication in the next generation of the protocol
[Congress for a]llowing $8,000 in tax dollars to be spent on drapes to conceal two semi-nude statues that often appeared behind the attorney general during press conferences in the Great Hall of the Department of Justice. Ironically, the two statues represent "The Spirit of Justice" and "The Majesty of Law."
They are scared to death of the naked truth. Here/a. is a mirror in the event that the original site goes down.
Apple must already have a well-modulated codebase for quicktime, and I'd be willing to bet that someone at Apple ported it to X11 before the in-house builds of OSX went to Aqua.
I'd be willing to buy a Linux version of Quicktime for my iBook if the price was reasonable; the Linux community would port if for free if given the source.
I'd also apreciate a copy of J2DK1.4.1 for Linux on my mac if Sun is listening.

I assume that a pellet stove could be used with the resulting pellets.
When someone waltzes into #slackware and demands that someone help him get it working, they can all yell back, with perfectly synconized timestamps, "RTFM or switch to Mandrake!"
is much faster to evaluate, especially on the 49g's 4mhz processor when doing symbolic shit.
Those who don't have a compatible palmtop can use FlameCalc if their pda supports Java. The development(next) release has enough features to do nearly all of my AP Physics stuff on my Zaurus, but loops/constructs are too unstable for a public release at the moment.
What I'd really love is Linux PDA in a graphing calculator case. I honestly don't care that it would be larger, a usable numeric keyboard would make up for that. It better have CF/SD and all the other goodies of course.
I'm working on a Java RPN calculator, here. I regularly use the console version on my Zaurus.
The upcoming version has loop structures and code objects to allow for more advanced scripting. Symbolic manipulation is planned for the future. I could use some help with this if anyone has Java or RPL math code they'd like to contribute.
I remember something aboout.com being the "tiny" build target, and.exe for "medium" and "large." I left windows before I seriously got into C/C++ programming. Can anyone explain the diferrence?
Here is an article on chording keyboards. It seems like something useful for palmtops; a pic and some momentary pushbottons could make a nice serial device for my Zaurus.
If I steal your computer, you can't use it so you are deprived of something and that is theft.
If I copy a disc, you still have what you started with.
There is no deprevation, ergo there is no theft.
Does anyone know what the legal definition of theft is?
Let's start overclocking, enhancing, and reverse engineering EVERYTHING to protest these laws.
Preventing overclocking is just corportate bs. Remember the liminal messaging of Brave New World, "I'm tired of old things. I want new things. If it's broken, don't fix it. Throw old things away."
In all honesty, people probably break as many chips as they enhance and overclocking helps profits for chip makers. Anyways, you can use this code, compared against the time/date clock to determine if a chip is overclocked. Software/electronic patents are a bunch of bullcrap for things like this because it's so damn simple to recreate the effect.
I rarely bring my iBook, and I use my Zaurus for programming(python, php, and shellscript until gcc works with OZ.) I can ssh to the school's iMac from third period; I need to install a vnc server and the devtools.
My zaurus is also great for listening to music, watching movies, bug-testing flamecalc, and writing articles for OSnippets(see my sig.)
Most teachers don't give me shit about it; it's hard to get on one kid for using a pocket computer in class when another is stoned and a third is going into labor.
I doubt fuhrer(our principal) woudl apreciate it if he knew though. The tech guys are too stupid to notice the network traffic.
Anyways, the URL sends data to a certain port(don't want to get to specific). It is "http://10.0.0.1:foo/randomcrapcontinuesherefor300 charsorsorso" In which foo is the port. Basically, if that port gets 324+ chars of data that isn't properly formatted, it gets stuck in an infinite loop.
The article says that VisiCalc couldn't keep up with the tape drive, and had to leave blank space while it was thinking. That's what I was referring to.
uses a filtering "service" that's always down. The NT4 proxy servers only resolve an ip correctly two tries out of three.
It's not too bad, because they have an 802.11b net my Zaurus and iBook can access as well as a "secret router" on 10.0.0.3 that I'm not supposed to know about.
BTW, the NT4 proxy is sp2; I made a single URL that can crash the proxy if entered on any school computer. They really should fire the techies and let me do the job for a gym credit.
and neither of those systems have Linux support. Can Minix do something similar?
There was no way to start or stop the tape drive. We had to leave gaps in the data on the tape to allow for processing of each chunk of data before we got the next one.
Just so everyone knows, this required 90 minutes of cassette tape for one kilobyte of data. The had a fancy "saving" movie that used up all the processing power, or was that a certain other product?
These "chipsets of the future"? If they offer better performance, and Linux has supported it for 6 months+ I might as well buy it in my next system.
One question though: Is the Opteron spec an addition to IA32, where winshit would already run, or a completely different chip, in which legacy winshit software won't run? I seem to remember that NT for the alpha architecture died off because of a lack of binaries.

The only think that will make me run linux on my xbox is if I can install a working system withou[t]> touching a screw driver.
If I bought an x-box; I'd mod it the first chance I got.
All you have to do is open a case(which any moron should be able to do) and solder some jumpers to get a working, usable, system.
Has anyone claimed that prize money yet, or does the X-box have to be completely unmodded?

I'm quite happy with my Panasonic KXP-1091 dot matrix.
You wouldn't believe it, but people actually throw ink ribbons for it away! I got a whole case of the things for free.
...check the domain mail comes from against the smtp history and the mx record for the from: domain!?
I know why, because they are too damn lazy to do it right and are trying to keep the small mailservers down.
20 Euro tax on an inkjet printer.
Now both the tax and the ink will cost more than the printer!
It seems to me as if codecs would be the easiest portion of quicktime to port. One of these days I might get around to setting up sound in MoL.

only works for x86 boxes. Many of us use PowerPC or Sparc chipsets, and the java version runs a hell of a lot faster than the wine version in bochs!
