Ive said it before and ill say it again, cdbaby.com kicks ass. They let you listen to 2 minutes of 5-7 songs off an album to see if you like it, if you do buy it, if not go on to the next one! All their albums are reviewed by the editors to give you description of what the music is like. Plus, after your first purchase, they send you a free cd with each purchase thereafter (usually a mix cd which is pretty good.)
Disclaimer: all though this read like an ad, its not. Im just a satisfied customer.
This is a great alternative to emusic and such pay for play setups where you waste a quota trying to find music you like.
Tell your friends about Firebird. If anyone ever voices a complaint about IE or any other browser for that matter, i point them in Firebirds direction.
It really is a wonderful browser that is lightweight, fast and it has a host of cool features like popup blocking, password manager (for the less paranoid), tabbed browsing.
Their market share is miniscule because no one knows about it!
Swiping licenses is used to prevent fake ids and it works very well. They are simply combining this with a way to keep track of trouble makers. Take off your tinfoil hats
I think Windows systems suffer more from vulnerabilities at the operating system level (possibly because it tried to integrate so many things) than application level (though they do exist). In Unix like environments, it is the opposite. The operating system is generally secure against remote attacks but it is the applications that run on top of the OS that introduce vulnerabilities.
As long as there is software there will be bugs, no matter where it is run.
RAM and Video RAM. Cpu cyles arent too important anymore >1GHz (in my opinion at least) for normal computing. Higher end processors are more suitable for servers, research platforms and clusters. Just my two cents though.
Ill second that on Pearl (the South St location). HUGE store with loads of neat toys. 10% discount on every item with a student or faculty id card too!
Though I havent bought a cd in a while (ive just been listenening to classic rock on the radio), ive decided recently that its time for some new music. I bought a few cds off cdbaby.com and have been very pleased. The music rocks and the service rocks! I hope their prices and all else stays the same.
The crap that the RIAA is pushing these days isnt even worth my time.
Possibly he was speaking of Suns niche market which caters to organizations that still need a big iron machine to do their work for them (or at least they think they do). This is where Sun shines. In regards to his statement about Linux not belonging on the server, well what do you expect him to say? Sun sells competing software for a server os. Just because they sell a desktop version of Linux doesnt mean they are going to throw away and disregard their crown jewel for it
Scientists arent being forced to make these decisions, they are making a conscious effort to do so. This is a different world we live in now and as such, requires different ways of thinking and innovating. Just because some researchers are afraid of doing certain things doesnt mean that others wont.
Awesome. Operating System design is one of the most underdeveloped fields of the industry and I believe that this is a step in the right direction towards the development of a mature, secure operating system for general use!
Nice thought but no one would ever adhere to these 'rights'. Its not profitable for commercial software vendors and open source vendors usually dont care or are too lazy to invest time and resources into making sure that these 'rights' are followed.
At my university, at least for the public machines, when you logon to the domain, a script executes that automatically patches your machine and runs fixblast and fixwelch. you might want to investigate into something like that
why do we want a crypto api inside the kernel? shouldnt that be outside the kernel? what happens when there is a bug in the api, you have to recompile your kernel? thats ridiculous. download openssl and use that

I think its someone who gets tossed out of the bar for disorderly conduct.

Bleh,

a freaking men.
we share the same dream...i want a phone that is very light and has a loong battery life!
Is this setup to connect to a POTS somewhere (to make local and long distance calls) or is it just around the campus?
you might be able to hack something up with UML

Thank you
What is it and why should I care? The article doesnt explain it very well
you mean rednecks and those technically savvy? yeah thats a huge group there ;)
Here is a link with some good information. Prison Rape must suck and I pity most people that have to deal with it

Since when do non community colleges and universities offer degrees in microsoft programs?
Isnt that what it already does though anyway?
Starting with 9iR2 they require you to change it after the install is complete
I think MIT has a project called Haystack designed just for this
