I actually use a Nokia Lumia 920 (gasp) and I actually like Windows Phone 8. It doesn't have a massive "app store" like the Play store or iOS but it does seem to have everything I use. The OS itself is great, very fluid and smooth. I also like that it's not a carbon copy of "icons on desktop" like android or iOS. If Microsoft had pushed out the OS a couple of years earlier the mobile phone market would likely be a very different place.
I have found the the "beta" spam feature of google voice does a good job of filtering out crap calls. Also, every cell phone that I have used for the past 10 years has had caller ID. I just don't answer calls that I don't recognize. If it's important, they'll leave a voicemail.
Squid setup as a transparent proxy is the way to go (squid-cache.org). It also has lots of good log parsing addons like SARG (sarg.sourceforge.net/sarg.php) that can give you detailed usage statistics. For non-http usage information you can add SNORT (snort.org) to the mix with a log parsing addon like ACID (www.andrew.cmu.edu/~rdanyliw/snort/snortacid.html).
well, if you are looking to get ahold of cedega/winex4, why not cvs it? There are instructions on the transgaming website on how to cvs the newest bleeding edge code.
well, I am a transgaming subscriber and I have been using winex for some time. Today I got cedega and my first impressions are that this works remarkebly well. Cedega isn't perfect though, I still had some installer problems with older games. But battlefield 1942, galaxies and battlefield vietnam ran flawlessly. Will this let you get rid of your dual boot? That all depends on what you play and how far you are willing to go to dump windows. I have been running linux only for almost 6 years now (running gentoo for the past 2) and I couldn't imagine going back to windows. I had to cut back on the amount of gaming I do and make sacrifices in other areas (like cut and paste), but over time linux has grown to the point where I don't feel that windows can do anything I want to do better than linux. I am not the biggest gamer in the world, most of the games that I play already have linux binaries (ut2k4, quake3 mostly) so I don't have very many dx9 games to try, but so far, all the ones I do have work very well, not flawlessly, but close enough for me.
I just got mythtv working for myself, I only have 3 or 4 dvds, but this is a slick program that I stongly recommend. And hey, it has a web browser, pvr capabilities, music/media player, dvdplayer, and will tell you the weather. That way you can trick people into actually thinking that you went outside, becuase once you have this set up with many many dvds, you won't ever see the sun again.
There is a problem with this though, not all distros use the same startup scripts. I have experience with suse, redhat, slackware, and gentoo (my favorite) and they all use different init scritps. Either the linux community will have to start using some unified directory structure, or someone will have to make a package manager that is smart enough to figure out what distro that is being run. I personaly like having some diversity, that way I can decide what I like to use, and I am not forced to use what someone else decides is best.
I just use gentoo linux. The portage package system lets me type in two simple commands and update my entire system. I can upgrade to stable builds or even develpment builds if I see fit. Thats why the 3 servers I administer run gentoo. Keeping them secure is a fairly simple and painless job.

noticed that, can't spell.. that is why I suck programing. I spend a 10 minuites writing a program, and a month correcting typoes. I have a spell checker on my instant messenger program.. Its that bad. Look what the wonderful world of spell checkers has done to me... (hangs head in shame...)
Now, how many tools like this do you see for a windows, or any closed source environment. Its tools like these that keep linux away from crap like this balster worm. Linux isn't perfect, but it learns from its mistakes, thats what makes it superior to and closed source software
But isn't making mistakes part of the game. I just think this faster cheaper crap is causing trouble. If we could maybe not be as concerned (still concerned but not completely) concerned about costs. All projects base everything on costs, this won't change, this is how the world works. But maybe we should scale down having 80 different projects and focus the limited funds on one goal.
Why is it that nasa has the philosophy of faster better cheaper? Although it has had some success the philosophy leads to more failure. Its obvious that the public seems to want more space based research, trips to mars, etc. So why does nasa feel that it needs to drop a project at any hint of failure?
Will we see a jump in quality because of increased competition? It seems to me anymore that large companies concentrate on getting their product out to market before it is finished. The "release it now, patch it later" philosophy has caused a general downward turn in the quality of software. Perhaps a little healthy competition will help bring quality back into focus.
My job is maintaining a Web/E-mail server, and I know just what a pain it is to deal with spam. But, if the government starts to regulate "spam" how are they going to decide what is spam and what isn't? MY favorite phrase is "run your life so the government won't have to, you won't like it if they take over" that makes sense. Don't get me wrong, I despise spam, and want to get rid of it as much as the next person, but how is this going to be controlled? I think we should proceed with EXTREME caution in situations like this or things will just get worse.
This is a bit dated, but seems very commical in a way. I wonder if the gov. needs more people to work for them?
I want a job =)

Just a short time ago a co-worker and I were servicing a computer. I was over trying to block dreaded spam on the mail server, and he was putting a new 40x cdrw in a computer. later, after he had booted the computer and was installing Norton, there was an very loud pop. After we were throughly satisfied that no on had been shot and that there were no broken bones or exploded computer parts, we begin to look at the cdrom. Lo and behold the Norton CD had exploded in the drive into about 10 billion peices. To fix it we took the cdrom apart and blew it out with a leaf blower. Still works to this day. Stupid "explode your antivirus cd" virus.....
I just went and saw Nemesis. And besides the obvious take off of several other Trek films, this was a pretty good movie. It was up there with First Contact. However, it cannot touch The Wrath of Kahn, still the best Trek ever
MY wonderful, realtivly cheap broadband is going to switch companies?!?!?!?!?? Well I already have my dsl routed through bell-south.. I wonder what will happen to my quality of service until I switch..
Why would anyone want to slam sun?? Its not like they have tried to be monopolistic or anything. Well, they at least certainly haven't done anything Microsoftish.. I mean look at the wonderful job they have done with JAVA.
Note: To those of you who are looking for an argument I am being sarcastic. I run Linux; and hate ms/anyone else who doesn't embrace Open Source. Except China.

I'm surprised that the inventor of The Internet would make such erroneous claims.
