If evolution is the work of Gods, and we can refrain from wiping ourselves out in the next few generations, then we shall be as Gods... And if you follow the mythologies of old, we'll probably be just as stupid and make as many silly jealous mistakes as those very "human" Gods from back then...
Being unable to install all the vendor's crap and their uniquely gimped version of Windows....
That's not a bug, it's a feature!
I've got install media for all recent client versions of Windows - straight, not-more-fucked-up-than-Microsoft-makes-it media that will accept the valid serial keys attached to the chassis of any mass-produced machine... Now if the sticker has faded off or been removed that's a different story...
I will admit some incredulity when I read the title. "Wireless what?!"
Very cool stuff if it materializes.
Imagine a small lightweight machine with say an ULV i3 or i5 CPU, small-ish screen and weak-ass integrated graphics. Place the machine on it's docking pad (No connectors to get bent or boards to break) and suddenly it's got (wireless?) juice and access to kick-ass graphics, and a big monitor, as well as whatever else is in the base-station.
A desktop replacement that remains light and portable for road warriors, with none of the fragility associated with docking connectors. With those transmissions speeds I presume this is going to be a point-blank range affair, so snooping shouldn't be (much?) of a problem.
I think it was last week the Canadian minister trying to ram a restrictive copyright bill through our government was crying about "extremists who oppose copyright". I tend to give government officials in the Western world the benefit of a little doubt, but now I'm really wondering who's pocket he's in....
Also, just cause I'm curious, what did that goon from VaNTUG want? I remember somebody from the VaNTUG booth coming over and chatting with you guys about something....
Their booth, was pretty small and didn't seem to have much buzz around it, at least not while I was there....
Don't have the only booth at the entire convention with Christmas-tree ribbons lining the back. It looked... well, pathetic.
Additionally, make sure, *before* you go, that all your exhibits work properly. When I saw the booth, two of the demo computers were borked. One seemed to be booting into some kind of debugger, and the other one couldn't quite manage the climb up into X. Some issue with video card driver or something.
Don't worry too much about my opinion, becase I won't be going to Comdex again. This was my first time, and I was quite unimpressed with the show. The friends I went with, who had all been to previous conventions, were also extremely disappointed. 'Bout the only interesting things I saw were some really cool wiring closets and racks, a SAN cabinet, and a really nifty circular robotic tape loader.
It says something when one of the most interesting exhibitions is a local white-box PC shop with motherboards and video cards and P4s and so on on display to look at.
Also, I wasn't terribly impressed with the gent who told me "I run FreeBSD on Linux all the time!" while trying to sell me a $5 "Linux box on a CD".
yes, but Cyrix wasn't conservative at ALL with their PR numbers. Cyrix's numbers were complete bullshit. AMD's numbers actually have a bearing on reality.
Cyrix's CPUs were both inferior clock-for-clock and did not run as fast as Intel CPUs. Cyrix tried a PR scheme to fool stupid people into buying crap.
AMD's CPUs are superiour clock-for-clock but do not run as fast as Intel CPUs. AMD is using a PR scheme to prevent stupid people falling into the MHz pit. As far as I'm concerned, AMD is doing 'em a favor.
Mindiscs are explicity mentioned in the document. I'm not sure what the levy on them is or will be. Look at Page 7, that seems to have all the numbers.
Simple. I've got a fairly unique ARP issue on my network that requires running a script to statically assign MAC addresses on startup. On both 9x and 2K, you should see something in the control panel : "Scheduled Tasks". You can schedule a script to run every time the system starts. Works decently well. You may need to install a fairly recent version of Internet Explorer with the "Offline Browsing" or whatever the hell Microsoft calls it, especially on NT4.
Sorry... This seems very vaporous to me.... The only thing keeping it from being *really* *freaking* *smelly* vapor is the fact that the company is privately held, which means that no third-party stockholders are going to get nailed when it's realized there's no technology here at all.
They're claiming a release date of December 2001, yet they don't even have any screenshots, downloads, betas, or *ANYTHING* else.
What's the argument here... As far as i'm concerned, this is obviously another.dot bomb late for the party.
I can't say i'm terribly impressed with this thing. Only syncs with Windows, no third-party apps (that'll be fixed in time), and even the Windows sync program is broken.
Not to mention, Palm could probably sue them for ripping off their UI... Other than that the fonts are ugly as fuck and not positioned onscreen properly, it looks exactly like PalmOS.
The one thing i'm curious about though : They claim "Hardware compatibility with Palm IIIxe". Does that mean I could buy one of these devices, get a ROM image of PalmOS 3.5 somewhere and throw it onto this $100 handheld? (Slightly illegal, I know, but I'm just wondering if it's possible)

Smells very strongly of Vapor.... No details, and bogus claims of "Artificial Intelligence".
We can't do AI on big-ass supercomputers, you expect me to believe these little wristpade have AI in them?
I'll believe it when I see a product on the shelf.
Kinda too old to be relevant anymore, but the retail boxed P-MMX/200 I brought many years ago came with an integrated heatsink and fan. I can remove the fan from the heatsink, but it's nonstandard, and I can't remove the heatsink from the CPU at all.
Stupid me accidentally threw out the power cable for the fan a year back, that was fun (spare cable, cable from a dead cpu cooler, cutters/strippers, electrical tape : still going!)
Just me jumping to conclusions. Previous poster was correct, that's SirCAM. Nimda would have sent you a README.EXE file with a "audio/x-wav" MIME type that'll auto-execute on non-updated Windows machines.
I haven't read anything about Powerline in Germany, and note that the post did NOT contain any articles from even semi-reliable sources. The powerline website is very outdated, it still has promises for (1Q-2001)!. Add to that the proliferation of buzzwords (they've invented their entire architecture over there!) and the lack of specifics and I think i'm looking at a mirage....
Also note the lack of ability to BUY anything, or any links to any hardware vendors building the stuff....
Even though your webmin feature has been turned off, your cisco is still accepting connections, and it still parses the default.ida?XXXXblah, and that firmware crashes when it tries to parse a ? in a URL... There's updated firmware for that device available... Go get it.:)

But what good is that? If he gets the l33t kicked out of him, he's still going to be an Ub3r H4X0r D00d pain in the ass.
Why don't they just encode everything the moron said in l33t sp34k?
This idiot deserves whatever he gets, and I seriously hope the judge shoves a good one up his ass.
It's kind of a scary statement. This retard managed to root *how many?* machines?
His parents aren't much better with that "They're suppressing his right to defend himself!" malarkey. The whole family must be fucking retards.

Wonderful, but it doesen't do jack shit until someone LOGS IN. The scheduler lets you set something to run at SYSTEM STARTUP.
Simple. I've got a fairly unique ARP issue on my network that requires running a script to statically assign MAC addresses on startup. On both 9x and 2K, you should see something in the control panel : "Scheduled Tasks". You can schedule a script to run every time the system starts. Works decently well.

You can find a writeup on it here. One of the nastier pieces of work making the rounds.
3D enabled driver for the i81x?
Perhaps you were flamed off because 3D stuff belongs in XFree86, not in FreeBSD?
Just a thought from a FreeBSD user who very much likes the system, and doesen't work with Linux anymore.
