So don't delay and support your local Open Source developer, since you never know when you need that Ogg Vorbis support in your favorite application!
Also a good point, but he's refering to the Fortune 1000 companies. As recent events have shown, municipal and federal goverments all over the world have been keen on trying Open Source solutions. I can see that especially true for school boards and universities where funds are meagre and there's always a sense of experimentation.
Disable Active Scripting and find an alternative to IE ("use another product"). Not very realistic unfortunately, when companies have invested so much in integrating (and accepting) some of the flawed functionality in IE.
I do find that people are starting to be a lot more receptive towards MS-alternatives, especially when the mass media is now jumping on the bandwagon as well. Now techies find themselves explaining their choice of MS over and over again, to hype-induced managers.

I think MS has the responsibility to address their customers concerns immediatelly (naive, I know), especially IE's overly close integration with the OS which causes most of these exploits.
I had one of my notebooks stolen at the LA airport. I had one in my suitcase (there's only so many I can carry) because of a conference. One of the baggage handlers must have helped himself to my notebook.
The funny thing is that the notebook was my personal, and because I did travel a lot at the time, I had an AOL account for convenience. Out of a whim, I called AOL and asked them for a log of my sign-ins. Lo and behold, turns out whoever stole my notebook was using my AOL account to surf! I pleaded with the tech person to at least give me the IP address so I can track the thief down. He sympathized with my problem and passed me to one of the network engineers who was very keen on helping me. I got the IP address and the phone number that he used to dial-in. He said that the Telecom department could give me the number that was used to dial in to AOL but I would have to get law involved as certain FCC regulations prevented him from sharing that info.
So I collected all the info and sent the report to the security officer at the Airport, a copy to the LA sherrif's dept and another one to my insurance company (who I had hoped would be keen to solve the problem). After a few calls, I got nothing. Turns out that theft like that happens a lot at the LAX and the LAPD is way too busy with serious crime to investigate a crime committed to an out-of-towner.
The good thing is, my home insurance covered the theft, so I got a better model for basically the amount I paid for my notebook a year prior (minus deductible).
I think Dell would greatly benefit from the resourcefulness of the Open Source developer community. Their attention to detail, cost-effectiveness, and pleasant speaking manner would be the key for Dell to transcend its shackles of corporate mediocrity and raise like a Phoenix, and overtake IBM as the leading hardware manufacturer state-side.
Studies have proven time and time again, that consumers want to have well-researched answers to their problems and wish to do away with the immediate gratification of having their problems addressed right away. By allowing the Open Source developers discuss Dell client's issue publicly in a forum, an ideal solution will be found every time. The consumer will be able to appreciate the horizons that open before him as they install Debian or Gimp for their home office.
Only when we clear the backlog of H1 Visas can be adequately address the shortage of labor in our nation, especially for lawyers and politicians.
I haven't RTFA because that would against/. posting policy, but I suspect that they subscribe you a mailing list where you get an e-mail with the subject "Are you dead yet?" every day. If you don't reply after two days they assume you are dead and send the e-mail to your list of contacts and promptly sell the same list for profit to the DMA. Because once you're dead, it's not like you can sue them or anything.
Actually that might work in Novell's favor. Their marketing department can now say: "Buy our copy of SuSE for $400 and you don't have to worry about SCO's IP fee!"
But then again, SCO may have some sort of UNIX IP exclusivity deal in which case Novell & SCO may have to hammer a deal behind the scenes.
Another company, called "ClutterTech" has conceptual designs for a 4.543 TeraFlop RAM module. Unfortunately it comes only in 8,192 byte SIMMs. They're still working on it.
I think the SMB sector would benefit from the invaluable experience that the Open Source developer community can offer. Their ability to balance the books, manage inventory, deal with suppliers and analyze Ogg Vorbis compression algorithms would allow the business owner to improve efficiency by offer 14%!
It is understandable that the SMB sector would turn to Linux quicker than the large enterprise since they suffer from their sheer mass in their on vested interests. It is much harder to turn a supertanker, than a small ship.
Only we free the home offices from the clutches of HP-based toner cartridges can we reach the heights in environmental awareness.
From the page: On or about March 6, 2001, Register.com revised its Services Agreement to expressly refer to the use of the Coming Soon Page.
Not sure... was the lawsuit submitted before they revised the SA? If that's the case then the fellow (and the rest of plaintiffs in this class action) does have point in his suit.
This Notice is not an admission by Register.com or a finding by the Court that the claims asserted by Plaintiff in this case are valid.
As usual. We'll pay but we don't admit we did anything wrong.
Personally I don't see what the big deal is. Every domain (except NSI ones in the early days) always had a notice.
Weren't the network complaining that TiVO and such were depriving them of their potential income from ads? Can't this same ruling be stretched further to allow TiVO users their god-given right to skip over ads?
I think the enraged users would benefit from the years of experience contained within the Open Source developer community. Their impartial review of all password would facilitate the password creation password. By providing a publicly-available password list and the application of such password, users would be able to leverage off the peer-review methodology with is quite popular in Ukraine.
The Open Source developers would also be granted much quicker access and approval to systems that they deemed important to their project work. This would improve fund generation and IP (Intellectual Property) sharing which are some of the stumbling blocks in current academic circles.
Only when we improve the texture-layer vortex shading in the Matrox drivers can be unleash the full potential of quad-monitor Parphelia configuration.
When you see roadkill on the road, don't you feel tempted to poke it with a pointy stick? Well, it's the same with the SCO stories. It disgusts us, but we cannot help ourselves from jabbering about it.
I think the Open SCOurce developer community would greatly benefit of having full access to the code for the greatly-acclaimed UNIX operating system. It would enable academics all over the world (especially in cold Scandinavian countries) to release their low-cost operating systems that are similar to UNIX. Some kernel components such as memory management could be enhanced instead of using 30-year old algorithms that may be misinterpreted by certain corporations as being propriatery.
We must encourage the grass-roots developers to add to the global intellectual property by releasing great variants of UNIX-based operating systems so that we can topple the dichotomy that Microsoft presents to computer science progress.
Only when we liberate the high memory block in the Expanded memory pool can we launch the necessary TSRs for MSCDEX support.
We must reflect on our transient nature that is so dependent on fossil fuel-based power generation. We must encourage the development of high-end fusion generating stations that will allow us to wrest away from the strangle-hold that the oil-producing nations have upon us.
It is only then that we reach our full potential in our academic and athletic pursuits which substantiate our integrity in the grand scheme of things.
Why must we fall in the trap of consumerism? Cannot we withstand the constant bombardment of commecial messages by the illicit corporations who have their own agendas?
Yes, we can and we shall. It is what makes us the leading society in the western hemisphere and as history as proved, it is our greatest asset.
I think it would benefit the graphics designers if Photoshop for Linux was made Open Source. The Open Source developer community would be able to enhance the offerings of the Adobe Team by adding new Gaussian blur filters, better fill methodologies, and Ogg Vorbis export functionality.
The Linux platforms is an untapped market for Adobe and by making Photoshop Open Source, not only would the community forgive them for the ElcomSoft lawsuit but would also create a new revenue stream by offering support and consulting for Linux adopters.
Only when we free the works of Milne from the clutches of depraved millionaires will we be able to entertain our children.
They didn't arrest him for the things that happened in Russia. They arrested him for the things that happened in the US.
Elwood, but they did arrest him because of what he worked on in Russia. Wasn't he presenting his research on the frailty of Adobe's system here in the US? Unless you refer that his presentation was illegal under DMCA and that's the reason they arrested him.
I was under the impression that they arrested him only because his company sold software that circumvented Adobe's protection mechanism. Which is illegal here, but fine over in Russia.
In regards to the FBI, you're absolutely right, the guy deserved to be caught, heck, even luring him to the US to be arrested! But the FBI should have respected Russian law, and either worked with the authorities or just book the guy for what they had.

got the IP address and the phone number that he used to dial-in
I meant the AOL number that he used to connect to AOL, not his personal number.
Sorry.

If you mean the RIAA, then I agree with you. I haven't bought a music CD for almost two years.
Another company, called "ClutterTech" has conceptual designs for a 4.543 TeraFlop RAM module. Unfortunately it comes only in 8,192 byte SIMMs. They're still working on it.
After all they built in the ability to bypass the Autorun feature.
Morons.
can't cahge that
I see you're using Office XP! Good for you. But you should install SP1 which fixes the spell checker.

SSL is actually 443.
Complete List.
POP3, SMTP, LDAP, Telnet, Quake3, etc would be others that people might value.
Maybe this will help.

Yeah, the password list can be handy sometimes
