I agree that it would it be a good idea to keep full support across the windows platforms but i also concede that for innovation's sake you have to march forward. Maintaining backward compatibility is great but don't sacrifice innovation to maintain it. There's plenty of ammo for both sides of the argument but that's my position.
My studio is maybe 2 blocks from his loft in Deep Ellum (art neighborhood in dallas). He's known for being "out there" and he's the butt of a lot of jokes around here but deep down everyone loves him. Our neigborhood association president knows him and thinks the world of him.
it's awfully ambitious but if anyone can pull this off it would be him.
Mr Adams is extremely good at thinking creatively at problems. In the back of one of his books ( i can't remember which ) he talks about his experimentation with affirmations. It was extremely interesting to read about his testing and just the way he thinks. I envy his ability to reason through and logically deciefer things he doesn't initially understand.
Nice to hear you got your voice back.. now get back to drawing funny stuff!
I seriously doubt the military needs Gnutella for their supercomputing needs. Nice press release and good job on making the main page of slashdot to promote your project though *golf clap*.
hah maybe it uses qos to give game traffic higher priority then spy/malware traffic coming out of the os. I bet they did all their testing on an unpatched unfirewalled Windows box.
btw, latency is not related to bandwidth so all those"well my home network is gigabit and i have no latency" arguments don't apply. My 10mbit network has the same latency as a 10gigabit network.
The best part about going to the new "real life DDR" (a dance club) is that if you can get the moves down, the "score" part is way better than in the game!
very true, learn to dance and the girls go nuts. you could probably just memorize DDR steps and do them at a club and still pick up 3 or 4. I don't know what it is with girls and dancing but they love it.
I bet all this started over some telco exec trying to figure out a way to cash in on google's success. When I first heard about what they wanted to do I distinctly remember blowing it off and saying "it will never happen, it's too ridiculous for anyone to take seriously", i guess i was wrong. This illustrates a pretty sad state of affairs in the business end of the Internet.
I too can't see what's so complicated, maybe we're both missing something. Everyone already pays for the portion of network resources they use. I pay for my paultry cable modem's consumption and google pays for their mammoth datacenter(s) consumption. When Google and I use the services we've paid for we both stay within our contracted caps. and any overages will be billed by the bandwidth provider( whoever it may be).
It would be a major internet war but I almost want to see a large telco goto google and try to extort money and google just say "no thanks, you can filter our traffic off your backbone" then watch the face of the CxO's at the telco as the phones begin to ring by customers complaining about being unable to use the Internet followed closely by huge ISP accounts moving to wherever google and the other megasites are. I could see major backbones going quiet within 6 months.
Personally, I use nmap quite often to examine my own systems
I do the same thing. want to know what ip's your netowrk printers are set to without having to go to each run and print a config?
>nmap -p 9100 *your network*
If Texas tried to spy on its citizens the same way that Britain does (not that I'm saying that Brits necessarily mind the camera), the Texans would blow them away with 20 gauge shotguns.
As a Texas resident I can guarantee you we wouldn't use a 20 gauge. Most likey we'd use a 12 gauge..or a 30-06.
I agree about the armadillo book it is really the only general purpose book to get. The other 2 should be decided on based on what you want to do. For example, if you want to setup a samba server then get TCP/IP administration (the crab book) and the O'reilly Samba book.
The common denominator with Linux/UNIX books is O'reilly, you can't go wrong with their stuff.
I'm not sure how i'd feel about having xp boot on my mac. It's like making out with your 2nd cousin, yeah sure you're making out with someone but it just doesn't feel right.
From too much love of living,
From hope and fear set free,
We thank with brief thanksgiving
Whatever gods may be
That no life lives forever;
That dead men rise up never;
That even the weariest river
Winds somewhere safe to sea.

IBM scares the crap out of me and i'm just a hacker-in-a-cube. Reminds me of a joke that went something like when we're all standing in line at the gates of heaven God's going to say "ok you can come in" then look over at IBM's legal department for a knod before actually opening the gates.
The 'small town' life has many, MANY, many dark secrets to it
That's a good point, i spent all of high school in a town with less then 1000 people. There's this mentality that small towns are all "church and apple pie" but that is far from the truth. Now I live in downtown Dallas and will never ever go back to my hometown.

my logitech webcam has clearer imaging than the footage from these cameras
but your webcam isn't strapped onto a continuously exploding bomb hurtling through all layers of the atmosphere in a matter of minutes.

If it works out then goodbye surprise car bombs, land mines, and explosive belts.

Wow so the bad guys won? This isn't the way it's suppose to happen. wtf
No adult CARES about these silly cartoons.
Actually, Evangelion didn't start to get really popular in Japan until it was shown in a timeslot that was targeted torwards adults.
Eva is a very intricate and complex series that appeals to adults more than children.
What's that old saying.. "no tech. can be considered a success until it's adopted by the porn industry".
If anyone can figure this out it's them.

Rest in peace, thanks for making a difference.
people have finished replacing all their tapes with cd's. The only way to save the sales is another format change.
