If this supposed to be a media componant why doesn't it have the same form factor as all my other media componants? Why is the display large enough to uglify the unit, but too small to see across the room? "Media" computer makers: Give me a pizzabox with a bluetooth remote that has a small display on it.

Cable TV is not subject to the same FCC restrictions as broadcast. Anything you can say or show on skinamax or HBO they COULD show on MTV or CC except that their sponsors may not like it and viewers may complain to the local cable company about the film being pumped into their home. That's why it bothered me so much when Up All Night cut out the good stuff.
I am apparently also an arrogant prick and I learned Linux by installing Gentoo. Though it is possible to learn nothing while installing Gentoo, it is almost guaranteed with a GUI install.
That is great if you don't want/need to learn the internals of the system, but I don't think there is anything wrong with wanting most members of a community to have about the same level of interest. Currently most of the people who manage to install Gentoo (more intimidating than difficult) have at least a WILLINGNESS to learn how things work. The community is great right now because of it and currently it resembles a dialogue more than end user support. An easier install may well change that dynamic, adding thousands of users who want Gentoo to 'just work' and don't want to know why. I think that is when we will see the elitism that people decry in Debian.
For the record: it is no worse recommending Gentoo to people who are fed up with RPMs (etc.) than it is to suggest a bicycle to someone tired of walking.
I belive that Yamhill was an attempt to have an Itanium with a 32 bit mode, rather than a standard x86 with extensions; and it was cancelled. Cringly (the curent one) is wrong more often than not, but sometimes he is wrong in more interesting ways than most tech writers.
There is a pilot program for this scheduled in Oregon. California has no elected officials who endorse this plan. It is merely a possible income source pointed out by a comission designed to point out possible income sources. While I do not at all like the idea of being tracked everywhere I drive, the fact remains that this not even in the pipes pipe-dream stage.
In my expierence sometimes (about 60% of the time) RUNAS just doesn't work. Not that this excuses running as Admin, but if 'ease of use' counts in Windows favor then it is entirely fair to point it this flaw.
I believe that there is a utility called libtrash which moves deleted files to a trash folder. I know verly little about how it works, though it is not tied to any filesystem.
I haven't seen the Special Features, but Lucas' may be paying homage to Kurosawa by overstating Hidden Fortress' influence.
Some elements are taken certainly (Princess, Peasants/Robots), but Star Wars is no more a remake of HF than Kill Bill is a remake of The Bride Wore Black. It is even less of one now that I think of it.
SW fans will almost certainly like HF, but don't look for Greedo.
Windows 2k and XP do have a runas service, which is naturally running by default. Type runas/user:USERNAME PROGRAM. It works find for MMC, but I dont think that all programs can use it since they frequantly bomb out before I get a chance to use them. Also shift right-clicking on a shortcut will allow you to run the program as another user.
My father was at a conference where they had old-timers reminiscing, and one of them mentioned that the computer would produce errors because turning the lights on (or closing the door) would cause the trough of mercury to vibrate slightly. Apparently there was a needle reading the nimbus of the mercury or something. I always wondered what computer that happened to.
The logic behind this paradigm is that you use your computer to access data and that the program you are using should be irrelevant.
Therefore if you have, say slashdot.org open, it is open in its own window becuase it is its own document. The same would be true of the resume you are editing, the MP3 you are listening to and and game of Solitaire you have open- each item is in its own window. If you have two web pages open, or god forbid two solitaire games open, they should be in separate windows becuase they are separate things: You don't have two web-browsers open, you have two web-PAGES open.
It could be my years of windows usage or the fact that no OS has a perfectly consistant GUI that prevents this paradigm from working for me. I generally open a program and then open the file I want from within that program. I don't think of my computer as a box that I use to interact with documents. The Gnome (and I believe Apple) paradigm ultimatly rests on this belief and it just isn't the way I think.
Perhaps when there is a truly universal object broker/display/editor/presenter we can approach the UI in such strictly metaphorical terms. Until then, I believe that the majority of users will be prepared to handle some abstraction for the sake of simplicity.
With that said, I recognize the fact that Gnome devs don't owe me squat and I appreciate their (misguided) efforts.
Actually, IIRC Noah took 2 (or 14) of each kind on the Ark (if he followed instructions). Therefore the Dinosaurs must have gone extinct sometime thereafter.
Of course they want you to upgrade, the question is what becomes of the old computers. My understanding is that the vast majority of computers donated are nearly worthless to schools because they cannot run any modern programs. These computers are only good as thin clients and most non-profits don't have a thin client setup. If his proposed arrangement takes off, NPO's could specifically say:Give us your old hardware. Until then, I'm glad OEM's are disposing of the systems properly (assuming they aren't just shipping them off to China or something).
I think you already see they key differences. Perhaps (almost certainly) these documents shouldn't be admissible in a trial. However, there is an matter of the public welfare to consider here.
There is no public good that could come of people knowing my dirty secrets, but it is very much in the public's interest for citizens to know exactly what hands we're placing our votes* in.
*By voteS I meant those of the citizenry. I have never voted twice in an election (though that may change with these machines.)
Sure that's true now, but I heard in Soviet Russia unlimited email attaches you.
I'm sorry, I'm so very, very sorry.

I have been trying for MONTHS (on and off) to get SAMBA 3 working with LDAP. I got 2.2 working OK, so I'm not a complete idot. Still this book may be a good investment. For those who are interested the University of Navarra has a 3.0 HOWto and there is a 2.2 Howto (that I used sucessfully) at homex.subnet.at/~max/ldap.
My understanding is that the castmembers do want more money, but I spoke with a friend of mine who has a peripheral association with the Simpsons and he informed me that the actors have not missed any table readings or tapings. Therefore this is not a strike, period.
Additionally he said that the reports that one of the castmembers had inked a separate deal were also untrue, and in his opinion designed to cause dissention among the cast. He believes that FOX is dropping the story to preemptively determine how much fan leverage the cast muster. Of course a castmember could have leaked the story for the same reason.
I don't doubt that there is a connection between Microsoft, S2 and SCO, but this article lays it on a little thick.
...Mike Anderer...a longtime... friend of McBride,... with an unlisted home phone number.
As if having an unlisted phone number is unusual or a strong indicator of shady dealings. And later:
Most of IKON's products...work with Microsoft Office software.
I should hope so.
And the last paragraph reads like Agatha Christy (not a compliment).
I would not be at all surprised if Microsoft's ties to SCO were more numerous than is readily apparent, but this article is little more than conjecture and innuendo. I know those are KINDS of evidence, but I think we can do better.

So you believe that the Murphey's Law influenced the designation of Moore's Law as such?

Solid scientific evidence of the authority of the The Silmarillion. But don't expect it to be taught in TODAY'S public schools.

Chalabi claimed to have the (only existing) evidence for this and refused to allow anyone else to look at it.

Given the source of this info, perhaps it was merely economic interest and not outright bribery that caused these nations to behave as they did.
