From the Comedy of Errors site, a poll: "Do you believe SCO has a legitimate case against Linux? Yes or No". And the results folks? 4% yes, 96% no. Time to start selling short on SCO stock.
Bob: Sir, there's a swarm of a couple hundred penguins out side wanting to see you Steve: Well, what do they want? Bob: Well, from what I can discern, they are demanding blood.
I don't know why SCO would come out and say this. It just pulls linux users together even closer on this issue, and this is just so obsurd that it can't be more than an idle threat anyhow.
I never said it was a good way to find someone's location, but knowing it's in Cleveland is a hell of a lot better than knowing that it could be anywhere.
Well, all you would have to do is a trace route back to the offending computer and you could probably get pretty close. Several routers are registered so that they lat/long are known to various trace route programs, making it easier to pinpoint someone. But even if you don't have a program like that, most host names will have some clue as to what state/city you're in.
but doesn't RAM need power running through it to hold its data? If this is true and we do switch to RAM for our SQL servers, all it would take is one fool to trip over a power chord (or just a power-outtage) to lose one heck of a lot of data.
Perhaps, by today's standards. However, in the future, who knows? Think of how incomprehensible the computers that we have today were 30 years ago. I think that eventually, we will have a computer that is capable of making all the complex-calculations necessary to emulate a human. Infact, the randomness probably makes it easier to emulate because no one can say exactly how a human would behave in that situation.
The problem with wireless is its relative slow speeds, unreliability, and insecurity as compared to a fiber network. To do this there would have to AP's and antennae's outdoors in order to acheive good speeds, and just think of how easy it would be for lightning to wipe one of those out. Besides, we know that this project would be feasable with wireless, I'm interested in seeing if it can be done with fiber.
It seems to me that the container of water (or whatever liquid) would have to be placed vertically over the CPU, which means that the CPU would have to be horzontal. Does this signal a change back to horizontal PC cases?
To those of you who are so adamatly opposed to this war I would just like to recall a small fact to you. Back in the '30's a man named Hitler was rising to power in Germany. The countries of the world thought absolutely nothing of it at the time. In the late 30's he started making demands. The countries of the world gave him his demands thinking that once he had them he would stop there. Look where that brought us.
What I'm trying to say is that when this is all over Bush will be a great hero or a fool. There is no arguing that the UN has given Saddam 10 or so years to clean up his act, and unless our government is completely lying to us (I don't know what they're trying to gain, afterall Iraq only has a measely 3% of the world's oil), he has been in violation of the peace treaty after the Gulf war. I personally, am going to wait until this is over until I pass my judgement. Afterall, as teh Turkish prime minister said, "When the victorious gather at the table, do you want to be the meal or the guest of honor?"
Well, seeing as you don't really pay for Hotmail, one could argue that Microsoft can send you all the ads they want, because if they didn't, you wouldn't have hotmail. That is to say however, the right thing for MS to do would be to filter all junk-mail, but I don't think they are particularily obligated to.
So even if I take all the steps necessary to make sure my data is safe on my computer, odds there is a business throwing away hardrives that have my data on them without properly removing all the data? Wow, I can't believe this isn't a hotter topic. I also wonder how this affects certain websites privacy statements. Sure, they don't give your information away intentionally, but they may give away a harddrive full of personal data without even realizing it.
I would be able to support an internet tax if the government were to further the devolopement of internet technology, as was mentioned earlier. However, if the only reason for implementing an internet tax is to help the economy, I think that's just stupid.
Right now what I think our economies problem is that the technology industry is what powers it. Now, before you all get mad, hear me out. The reason this hurts our economy is because all the majority of jobs that exist require some degree of advanced education. The industry is very competitive, thus, and the jobs are very hard to get. This results in many people who don't have tech skills not being able to get jobs, and many people with tech skills losing jobs to people with better skills, or automated programs and the like.
Now, how do you solve this? If you create more jobs you help out those well-educated people, but that doesn't make that much of a difference. If you educate more people, you still have a bunch of educated people with no jobs. I wish I had an idea on how to solve this, but I don't. What do you guys think?
Saying AOL is a bad ISP is like saying Windows is a bad operating system. Sure, you can't do everything you want, it's slow, and doesn't always work right. But nothing is as easy to learn on.
I have a cable modem, and let me tell you, without my past experiences on AOL and Compuserve, I would know nothing about how to use the Internet.
Think about how a cable modem works. You just plug it in and you're online. If you're a first time user, you have no idea what to do now that you have access to the internet.
I think sometimes that as techies we forget that the vast majority of the population has no idea how to use a computer. Especially to people who grew up in the 50's 60's and 70's before there were widespread computer use, these glowing boxes can be pretty intimidating.
Granted, being slashdotted is no fun, I believe that if it is within/.'s ability that they should mirror sites like this. However, can the owner of this site really blame slashdot? He put his site on the internet, and he obviously didn't do it for his purposes. If he didn't want traffic, he should have never put the site up in the first place.
but is it really worth the effort? If you really wanted to play games on your computer just run a dual-boot for god's sakes. I know Windows is expensive, but I'm sure you can find a copy of windows 98 for pretty cheap, and that (as far as I'm awayre) should still play most games. It will certainly be able to play all the games that have been ported to Linux so far.

/.'ers can't like Intel, and if we can't like AMD either, what kind of processors will we use? =P

If garabage collecters can be "sanitation engineers" and housewives can be "domestic engineers" then why the hell not programmers. =P

7 year old child with 1/5th scale tank conquers Iraqi military through sheer cuteness.
The anticipation is killing me .

Since the aliens obviously reverse-engineered our CD technology in order to send us this message, they are in direct violation of the DMCA.

The word static means that it does not move. If you can find a way to fly it without moving it you'd be set.
Sounds good, how many cup-holders does it have?
