Good for AIDS in Africa research.

This type of thing may be good in the AIDs in Africa research that is going on. Being uncircumcised is big factor in the transmition of AIDs in Africa, and this technology may be used to predict where the next AIDs outbreak may occur.

I just checked it out on my usenet server, and it is true. There are NO MySQL and Postgresql groups in the comp.databases.* hierarchy on usenet.
I would recommend anyone who uses these databases to stay tuned to news.groups and find out how to vote for the creation of these groups on usenet. The result would be the creation of the following groups:
Burt Rutan had a great success with the X-Prize, and NASA has a mission fail because of glitches.
This will not look good for those supporting NASA and its budget. True that the projects are different, but you'd expect that NASA would try to get it right because there is a lot riding on this. With so many NASA failures like the Shuttle, it is really looking like NASA is a waste of tax payer dollars.
"Yeah, because the rural poor of China have *so* many travel options. Bet you'd love to see them flooding into your country, wouldn't you?"
You missed my point. My point was that the school has a responsibility to be open. Sometimes being open has consequences like kazaa. But many times, things like kazaa and being open bring about great technical innovations. My point on China was that the GOVERNMENT has no right blocking web sites just as the University of Florida has no right to block student's internet access. University of Florida gets taxpayer money, and as a taxpayer I want students to explore the boundaries of technology.
Imagine if no one did. We wouldn't have half the innovation we have now.
Yeah, China is the Chinese leader's country and if they want to block their people from visiting sites, it is their right.
And if the chinese citizens don't like what their leaders are doing they can just move to another country...after all it is the Chinese leaders who own China. The tax payers pay for the Universities bandwidth and if a genius is in a dorm making the next tech revolution, this could actually stiffle it. How would the tax payers feel knowing the University stopped a potential mulit-billion dollar industry from being invented?
Remember, that peer to peer technology is the latest breakthrough. Steve Jobs was a phone phreaker, Bill Gates stole Computer Time at his high school and Harvard. I know many electrical enginnering students who messed around with supermarket announcemnts with home made gadgets as well as changing stop lights to green.
Experimentation and a bit of fun/lawlessness can produce great new technology. The greatest thinkers weren't college suckups, but rebels. Newton was second to last place in his class, Einstien routinely got poor marks, Gates stole computer time, Steve Jobs stole telephone connections with his preak boxes. These are all examples of rebels who went on to create billion dollar industries or revolutions in science or math.
Imagine if some admin Jobs in jail because of his phone phreaking.
That would be a really cool OpenOffice feature. I can already create pdf files in my earlier verision of OpenOffice by clicking print and selecting the output to a file (pdf).
I'd really love it if I could import pdf files and change them. Also on my wishlist is the ability to be able to password protect pdf files created in OpenOffice for the later versions of Acrobat that support it (5.0 or higher).
The Flash export is excellent, and I thank the OpenOffice team for that. AFAIK, not even Microsoft Office has this feature. Looks like Open Source is starting to really kick some but!
ISPs should pay for content, and then the ISP member could choose what they wanted to view. For example, if you subscribed to earthlink, earthlink would let their members choose 40 different sites they could view out of a huge selection.
This would solve the micro-pay problem because I rarely visit new sites. I just have a certain number I make the rounds in. That way content providers get paid via the ISP, and members get to pick 40 or so sites ala carte.
Yeah... Because people actually turn to/. for advice on purchasing decisions. That's about as likely as people turning to/. for life and death advice on hig powered wiring. Er, wait.
The reason is simple. To give SCO money to continue it's battle against Linux. Why did they want licenses for linux? Simple, they have a Linux lab at MS.
http://www.linux.org/news/2000/09/01/0001.html I guess now we know how it is going to be used to combat linux.
Less well off geeks who spend lots of time building characters up will sell to a high bidder who has money in real life and therefore the new owner of the character/item will not know how to use it as well as the geek who spent months getting it.
The game will end up with a bunch of more wealthy less experienced people running the lives of the geeks who spent all their time aquiring the items. The FUN of these games is that ANYONE regardless of status in the REAL world can become someone great. If money from the real world gets involved, that destroys the fantasy because not everyone will be on an equal footing when they start out.
That is one of the big reasons I think these games are so much fun.
After looking at 50 or so subpoenas, the suspicion of a pattern grew more confident. While an individual wouldn't necessarily get subpoenaed for just having a Busta Rhymes song, it was the combination of Busta and additional artists that triggered the bot. Slyck hopes to obtain the entire database to more conclusively examine and reveal this potential pattern.
This is exactly how the Joker killed people in Batman part 1!. If you used a combinatin of cosmetics THAT would kill you, e.g. lipstick with eye liner. I guess these hollywood guys use stuff from the scripts in real life!
George W. is making election stealing an art. First it was the ballots in Florida, and now a Windows(easily hacked) only voting system. That's democracy for ya.
You might be right about this being a spy vs. spy thing because the stakes are so huge. This could mean that rival Console makers are actually hacking the X-box to diminish it's threat. That could be a reason why this hack was so well done!
I think that any programmer can appreciate why he went to such lengths to hide the code. It's a hell of a cool thing to do.
In this world of script kiddies, it's very important to disguinish between kiddies and people who are true hackers. Mad props to him for showing that hacking is most certainly an art.
But isn't the whole philosophy behind linux to be open and clear?
The field of battle is the computer industry and its neighbouring vertical markets. Every person, company, product, etc., on this battlefield that is not a competing platform vendor, is a pawn in the struggle between such vendors
This definatly lends credence to the theory that SCO is a pawn in Microsoft's attempt to destory Linux.

Crap. There goes another date. :-(
Looking at the install guide, it says you need mySQL. For those who prefer PostgreSQL, does anyone know if Bugzilla works with it?
I just checked it out on my usenet server, and it is true. There are NO MySQL and Postgresql groups in the comp.databases.* hierarchy on usenet.
I would recommend anyone who uses these databases to stay tuned to news.groups and find out how to vote for the creation of these groups on usenet. The result would be the creation of the following groups:
comp.databases.mysql
comp.databases.postgresql
Doesn't writing NTFS have limitations in the 2.6 kernel? IIRC you can only write to existing files, and you cannot create new ones.

MS just announced they would pay a corporation's legal bills if you are sued for using a Microsoft product. Now we know why they did this!

You might be right about this being a spy vs. spy thing because the stakes are so huge. This could mean that rival Console makers are actually hacking the X-box to diminish it's threat. That could be a reason why this hack was so well done!
You brought up an excellent point!

If anyone knows it would be intresting to hear the reason why.

and SCO is finnished! On Monday we will see the full brunt of IBM's power come down on SCO.
