Screen sizes can also give problems - if you are VNC'd in and someone changes the screen resolution at the console, you are booted out. check the desktop has the same resolution as the logon session for the users desktop you are connecting to.
And now Microsoft will turn it to Open Software so volunteers can start an own fork of it and continue deveploving it... and will win eurovision song contest and soccer world championship. And SCO will be popular again.
You mean deploring it, dont you? No, sorry, developing it!!!
Microsoft use the tools themselves... from the upcoming teched 2003 conference in Barcelona:
ADM291 Tour of the Sysinternals Tools
The Sysinternals.com web site is source of dozens of powerful freeware tools that reveal aspects about the internal behavior of the Microsoft® Windows® operating system as well as the activity of applications that run on it that are otherwise not available, making them valuable troubleshooting and administrative tools. Many are used on a daily basis with in Microsoft's product support and development groups. Take a tour, guided by their author, of some of the most popular tools. You'll learn undocumented tips, see examples of how to get the most out of them, and learn about how they work.

So... the software that the spammers use... did they find out about it via spam?

Floppy the Robot

I agree. I have upgraded by PC countless times, the only remaining original component is the floppy drive. It has no cover (so a few bits of circuit board are visible), but works perfectly and has never killed a disk. It is at least 12 years old.
In the UK about 3 years ago there was extensive coverage of an eclipse, with the usual warnings. As usual some idiots paid no attention at all (I saw someone using a welders mask to view it), but I managed to see it through a couple of floppy discs (they fileter exceedingly well, at least the red end of the spectrum (no idea how much IR was blasting my eyes, but no visible damage so far). Not clever, the only way to do it is to use cardboard with a hole in it.
This has been done by a virus in the past - the browser homepage was set to a HTTP served file that was a trojan executable. The virus spread so quickly that it became a victim of its own success due to the servers hosting the file crashing.
If the Cathedral was very old - say, if it were build a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away - no-one would bat an eyelid about darth vaders head being up on the cathedral.
Im not a Java programmer but... isn't a JAR file just platform independent bytecode - eg, already compiled? You can decompile it, but you lose any code that is not used or comments etc?
Yep. A company in London backed up their data off site. This companies office was destroyed in the Canary Wharf bomb that ended the 18 month Provisional IRA ceasefire in the 1990s.
They were fortunate in that they had offsite backups, kept in a local bank safe
They were unfortunate in that their backups were in a bank that was taken out by the bomb.
I am a brit, and mob mentality will always rule. They even mobbed a *pediatricians* office because of the red mist built up by the british tabloid papers (Mainly the News of the world, but this happened after a satirical zine (privateeye.co.uk) made a joke about pediatricians getting attacked).
They probably did not realise that peadophiles do not tend to have brass plaques outside their front door advertising their tendancies.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in groups.
Not belittling the achievements of R, S and A, Clifford Cocks discovered exactly the same mechanism for assymetrical encryption in his lunchbreak while working for GCHQ, predating the collective works of RSA by a good number of years. It was only the lack of foresight of GCHQ management that prevented them from capitalising from the discovery (that and patenting algorithms was unthought of then)
Erm - no. The English language forked when we colonised the US. The US carried on writing color (sorry - Colour) etc with no U. The Brits use of English changed over time.
So the US are doing it how we used to do it. The Brits have changed the standard and complained about the US doing it wrong.
This should bring down the cost of salt!!! There will be more salt than the US can ever use! Salt for everyone!!!!! They ought to build one of these in costal Africa! More Salt than the third world can ever use!!!
Our company uses "Packeteer", which is an excellent solution for tuning bandwidth. Each type of connection can be assigned a class (inbound SSL, outbound corporate HTTP etc) and can be throttled accordingly. good reporting, too.
I would agree. My sister is British and works for a Phillips reseller in Belgium doing Telesales. She used to call UK customers, and was told to be evasive about the location from where she was calling from (but never actually lying). They were not allowed to say what country they were calling from.
People naturally assume you are UK based if you are British (with a slight londoner accent!) when calling a british company.
That has now changed - they are allowed to tell cutomers their location.
In the UK, the BBFC (British Board of Film Censor^H^H^H^H^H Classification) have performed reshooting of a film to downplay a harrowing scene in "Henry: portrait of a serial killer". While the BBFCs powers have been cut down (and are far more liberal) this indicates it is not a new problem. Just be thankful that this rental company does not have the legal power to ensure that the only film available at Blockbuster is their version.
By the way, the scene modified was a murder/rape scene that was refilmed/edited to show it as the two killers watching a video of themselves doing the killing. This was a complete change to the film, and to my amazement the production company went along with it to get a release (18 certificate).
Wing commander was definitely a 486 seller. I saw one on a 486/66, and it flew! I personally bought a 486/33 (and later upgraded it to 66) just for Dark Forces...
But back on-topic, Falcon 3 was pitched at the 386/486 market, it ran just about on a 386/16 (with the simple flight mode turned on), but Falcon 4 needed at least a decent P2 (I ran it -- just -- with an AMD K6/350, with an Orchid Voodoo 2 card. My new machine (AMD XP1600+) won't run it with 3D acceleration (boo hoo), Direct 3D problems.

Fair enough. Didn't realise that. Gee, Slashdot works really well with Accessability Features turned on. And a braille keyboard.
Given the choice again I would watch the eclipse on TV, or not bother.

This is absolutely fantastic news.

I had also read somewhere that Kansas has banned sea walls too!
