After having tried vimplugin and not being happy with it, I'm now trying out vrapper: http://vrapper.sourceforge.net/home/ and having a better experience with it.
I've been hosting my domains with Enom since over 10 years now, and am very happy with the level of service they provide. Their control panels let you do most anything you need including setting TXT records, and there's an API they provide so you can programmatically make changes too. Very slick.
If you checked the page that I linked to, you will find a list of titles which use StarForce -- and Sands of Time is on that list. I myself am very sceptical about this, but what conclusion would YOU draw, when the brand new machine that you've had for 4 days, suddenly has a CD-Drive failure, that my CD-burning software is no longer working, and that I'm waiting for a replacement CD-Drive. FYI: I'm a developer in the PC scene since over 15 years, and not a n00b jumping to conclusions.
I recently installed and started playing Prince of Persia, the Sands of Time. In the middle of playing, my CD-Drive suddenly started making STRANGE noises. Since that moment, my CD-Drive no longer works -- the actual hardware seems to somehow got damaged. This struck me as quite strange, because I was playing this on a laptop which was just 4 days old! I sent in the CD-Drive for replacement, when I happened to chance on a story at Digg about a copy protection method named "StarForce", which has the potential to damage CD-drives. I was reading the story when I did a search to see which games use StarForce: Prince of Persia, the Sands of Time was on the list! I was very annoyed to find that it was in fact Prince of Persia which caused my CD-Drive to fail, because of it's copy protection. This has completely put me off of buying any further software from Ubisoft.
I think there's some kind of bug in the counter, or the site is being./'d, with over 65535 or 2^64-1 hits, as I initially saw the counter with a value of around 70, and now when I look at it, the counter had gone DOWN to 30 something, and was on the increase again.
I travel a fair bit, and need to have a consistent work environment available to me wherever I am. The machine I may have access to at any given location may let me boot into anything I carry with me. On the other hand, my solution should also work reasonably well on a machine that I can't reboot. My solution was:
Use a linux installation off of my portable hard drive, and have Co-Linux available on it too. I can boot off of it, or I can access it via co-Linux. My home-drive is stored as an AES encrypted partition. If I can SSH, I can then connect to my VPN and get full network connectivity too. I've also got the No-Machine's server installed, and have the nxclient installation for very high-speed X.
Works great.
It's a shame to see a company that had such interesting hardware and operating system going down. I used IRIX on an O2, and loved it. Was way ahead of its time.
Except eyeBeam costs $$$. Development on their X-lite is now suspended, and IIRC they were looking to sell it off to some other company. Gizmo has that easy-to-use style to it that too many cross-platform SIP clients lack.
I don't see anything wrong with either of those statements.
They let you use the software, you can't sell it, and they retain rights to it. Nothing wrong there.
And about E911 calls, all VoIP providers have to provide such a declaration, to make users aware that the 911 service via VoIP does not provide location information, etc., to the 911 call center, which standard calls via PSTN would. I think Vonage is one of the few services that actually DO provide a 911 service.
Wake up call to Slashdot too - this happened TWO WEEKS AGO. When I read this on Slashdot today, I immediately thought "dupe" because I remember reading about this before. I was mistaken though - this story was never posted. The Register posted the story almost immediately, though.
I bought a Logitech QuickCam Zoom, which has worked perfectly with the Philips chipset driver available here. Unfortunately, due to political differences between the Kernel developers and the developer of this module (who provided a source provided low-quality driver, and a binary only higher-quality driver), the module is no longer actively maintained.:-( This was already covered here on Slashdot.
If I remember correctly, the only reason they noticed that this machine was missing was because of an organisation-wide audit that they were doing. Had the audit not taken place, they might still not know that they didn't know where the server was!:-)
How about DOSEmu running an old version of Lotus 1-2-3 or Quatro Pro?:-) Excel (with the proper file filters installed) can read and write to them, last I checked. And I can't imagine DOSEmu to be too resource intensive
I have to say that I'm very disappointed with what has happened. I think it's reasonable to have a lower-version open-source version, and then a binary-only higher-quality version. Because of the stance of the kernel developers in removing the hook to allow the higher-quality version, they've forced the author to pull the plug on the lower-quality driver as well. I was very impressed by the quality (640x480 with very high framerate) provided by my webcam (Logitech Zoom) under Linux using the PWCX module. `
I find that the bash-completion features, once properly activated, as is done in the bash completion package here, can do a lot of similar things. I've been using bash for a number of years now, but continue to learn new features and functionality.

Zenity lets you display Gtk+ dialog boxes from the command line and through shell scripts. It is similar to gdialog, but is intended to be saner. It comes from the same family as dialog, Xdialog, and cdialog, but it surpasses those projects by having a cooler name.
Get a bigger monitor?:-)
Personally, I run my laptop at 1600x1200 - I love the resolution. A friend of mine recently bought a new Dell laptop - has an amazing 1900x1400 something resolution. Yikes!
:-) Well, I've installed Gentoo on a G3 - and it works fairly well. Only problem I ever had was the Firewire card. Everything else worked. (Including the sound card). Mac-On-Linux (MOL) is also really fun - run MacOSX INSIDE of Linux.
The manager of a large office noticed a new man one day and told him to come into his office. 'What is your name?' was the first thing the manager asked the new guy.
'John,' the new guy replied.
The manager scowled, 'Look...I don't know what kind of a mamby-pamby place you worked at before, but I don't call anyone by their first name. It breeds familiarity and that leads to a breakdown in authority. I refer to my employees by their last name only...Smith, Jones, Baker...that's all. I am to be referred to only as Mr. Robertson. Now that we got that straight, what is your last name?'
The new guy sighed, 'Darling. My name is John Darling.'
'Okay, John, the next thing I want to tell you is......'

I don't think it's the washing machine that has anything about not liking the RAM. More likely, it's the RAM that doesn't like the washing machine. :-)
