lol, i find that funny. When i was back at my university in india we actually DID have our Servers named SHIVA, VISHNU and VAYU. Dont be too surprised if you have Red hat Appu linux in Hindi soon.
The guy needs to loosen up. Looks like he felt insulted with the placard placed squarely on top of the PC chassis that read: This computer is running the Linux operating system. It is easily removed and can be replaced by Windows 98 or higher by formatting the hard drive and loading Windows. We will perform this service for you for a fee.
I am happy to that they atleast have an option where one can skip the windows Tax. Thats not all too common to find, yet.
I dont see to many "Made in China" laptops at the stores here in Canada. The one i am typing this on is made in Japan (Toshiba satellite) and another major laptop brand Dell has all its production facilities in US except maybe the desktop units for the japanese market.
if it is about this blackboard software portal then it is a significant finding. The code is java based and i havnt come a lot of exploits for java based architectures.
I think you are comparing apples and oranges.
Slashdot is different from content provider like the one mentioned in the article. Content aggregator would be a better definition. People subscribe to show an appreciation of that service other than the fact that it is largely a channel of expression.
It is surprising to see the flak this news is receiving given that Real will be the first company to work towards a player(Helix player) on the linux platform. Now only if apple would follow suite, we wouldnt have to rely on cross over plugins to play these formats.
anyone else noticed the software geek discrimination ? i strongly object to the definition of geekdom you have pointed out there. Note - we software geeks might not be able to
build our own hardware, we belong to slashdot because we write our own Windows.
trolling ? time for bed ? A glance at the article would have told you that the interface changes that are going to be implemented before the perpendicular recording has everything to do with the speed.
Also, are you saying that "250 GB ought to be enough for anyone forever ?". They have hit a ceiling with the current technology and that is an understandable cause of concern.
i was thinking of purchasing a 120 gb hdisk, looks like i should wait.
From the article - interface changes indicated in the writeup is going to be implemented very soon (could increase interface bandwidth from 20Mbytes/s to 320Mbytes/s !) while the perpendicular recording is going to take some time to hit the market.
Could someone explain (/point me to a website) as to what this paragraph means ?
"We always have concerns about new connectors and backplane designs but those problems are minimized in a serial environment where the wiring is point-to-point,"
good point on the drag and drop editing - never noticed that missing feature !:)
on GUI editors, am yet to see any Java GUI editor that is as good as the one Microsoft has in Visual Studio - drag, drop & get stuff done. It has one clean interface where anything related to GUI element can be dealt with. Jbuilder came close, but even on that using a basic elements such as table required getting into the generated code and doing many of the necessary modification manually. I eventually settled for writing all the code myself in eclipse to avoid the partial code/partial generated code situation.
Eclipse is easily the best IDE i have ever used - especially for java compared to other bloatwares for development like JBuilder/Netbeans/ Visual Age for Java. IMO, it is also the most easiest one to get familiar with. I have used IBM tools like Visual Age For java & Visual Age for CPP and boy, where they a pain to get started on.
This page has all the shortcuts in the IDE- valuable time savers:)
Doesnt it always go that advertisements carry some degree of falsity and the viewer must exercise his/her own good judgement ? If there is a similar ad on a television stating that if you sweat profusely after a small walk you could be suffering from high blood pressure, would it warrant a class action suit ?
Both Kazaa K++ and Kazaa Lite, two very similar modifications to the Kazaa file-sharing system by Sharman Networks, now contain hooks to the PeerGuardian database of IP addresses
Database of IP addresses is going to protect us ? Cmon now. What prevents RIAA from using anonymous IP blocks that they can purchase legally for use?
WindowsXP has a slightly better idea in that it will quick log you off if you ask it to...
actually WinXP doesnt log you out, it puts you in the switch user mode. Your processes are still running.
the problem lies more in the way the access points work at the moment rather than the end users not using POP without security. The best you can do with access points today is to set up single key (like WEP) that is shared among multiple users. The accesspoints of the future would hopefully have 2 WEPs: One to allow access to acesspoint and a second second one - dynamically assigned to individual clients(probably recognized by unique mac address) for all data communication between that unique client and accesspoint.

doesnt SLASH in SLASH'em belong to SLASHDOT?

be an Anonymous Coward for a day!
still better, post the expolits here , we will make sure they come to know.

Save the website and drop it on kazaa. I feel like downloading it.

He hasn't even DONE anything yet.
And we are just practicing.
hey nice theory , atleast convinced me to stay away for now ;)

you got it!, anything perpendicular must be satisfying. They are more like "drooping drives" at the moment.

hahahahahahahahaha, fell out oh my chai laughing. good one.
now, can i have one attached to keys, watch, my glasses. Would make a perfect Rememberall for us muggles.
i bet it was a male who contracted SARS first. Look at that thing. Females would have gone "oh they are so cuteeee!" and stayed away.
are you sure it is not ELBONIA ?
