I've actually used these avery preprinted stock for cards for my father. The paper stock isn't quite as good as "real" business cards, but we stuck with a simple design and a black and with laser printer (HP LasJet 6P) and the cards came out very professional looking).
[Insert validity string] I work for a memory distributer [end validity string] We have recently been able to purchase RDRAM at a much lower cost than its initial offering. RDRAM is selling horribly in the end-user market. We have consulted with our manufacturer (not to be named here) and they have indicated that "someone in taiwan is dumping the stuff". I would tend to think if the memory is being "dumped" that it pretty much consitutes a flop. In the same time we've been offering RDRAM, we have gotten (at least) as many inquiry's about DDR DRAM, a product that has not even been released yet (to my knowledge).
My question to you, sir, is this: Do you really want/every/ joe-jockstrap causing chaos on his.net connection with MS's servers? Do you really *want* everyone to be able to code? It may be a elitiest thing for me to say, but I enjoy being the one that can coax non-working programs to work....that can code my own little app.
At work, (I work for an e-commerce shop) we use ICVerify by Cybercash. We hate the program, but it does do it's job. I am not sure about the pricing scheme.
R5PE does seem to have slight stability problems. I have been running it since it's release and had a few minor errors (requiring server restarts) and only one crash that actually required a full system reboot. I have only had the kernal dump on me once, and that was w/R4.5.2.
Don't slam BeNews for not running BeOS. BeOS is a/multimedia/ platform and wasn't originally designed to even serve web pages. MS doesn't run it's web servers on windows 98, do they? Linux is a very good server OS, thus it was the choice for the Be news team.
I personally use BeOS's own BeMail and it's database-like directory struc for everything important to me...though there are other clients availabe (some Outlook-like), I much prefer the simplistic approach.
I work for a major e-commerce site, we do cursory background checks on many of our customers, without their permission. This happens mostly on large or very large orders...but it does happen. I think our identities are getting probed a hell of a lot more than we suspect.
Speaking from the perspective of working for an unnamed memory vendor, Rambus isn't doing so hot. We currently offer 64MB and 128MB of PC800 RDRAM and haven't sold a single unit while every day we ship out 60+ units of SDRAM. Even propriatary 512MB Kits of Sun SPARC Memory is doing better sales-wise. RDRAM has a very limited future if these sales trends continue.
Is there a license that would allow code to be re-used in a commercial application, but would force the commercial site to re-publish any changes that they made to the source?
While I realize that/. is primarily a linux-related area, I would like to call attention to those fledgling programmers who would like to develop open-source software on other, more propriatary platforms. I use BeOS.
While I realize that C code is C code, I would just like to mention/propose that other OS-specific code be accepted also. I have no clue how to impliment a BWindow():)
Even it if it is only 5 bits.....which I doubt.....that's 5 bits of unrecoverable data. That could be 5 bits on my brand-spankin new BEOS v.8.0 SSCD..right in the middle of somethign really important=a total loss to the SSCD.

I would assume that this is ultra-high speed memory that would be used to synch the two processors... -Ben

BeOS has perl support, search BeBits.

I'm a big fan of BeOS....just more conservative where I post/when I post. I also don't know where the Karma is coming from :)

BeOS does have an x86 emulator. It's called BeBochs and is a port of the Bochs emulator. (disclaimer: I have never tried this).

this is normal....taco and the crew do not always post "ask slashdot" features to the main site, though they do add it to the column.
