I saw it the first day it came out. It was pretty good, but the ending was a bit lacking. It leaves it real open.:D
Like T2 didn't! Please tell me this movie happens in some weird alternate timeline, because frankly, they destroyed both Terminators and the chip and arm from T1 at the end in the pit of molten metal. That's how it should've ended, voila, end of Terminator series. Guess Arnold needed some cash for his run for Governor so they had to milk this thing for some more bucks. Frankly I may catch it on DVD for laughs, but they'd need a pretty good explanation to avoid the continuity error of Skynet evolving despite what happened in T2.
But as it is, people want me to spend more time trying to protect my computers then I would spend just doing an OS reinstall...that it probably needed anyway. No sir, not worth it.
People like you should not be allowed to connect to the Internet. The Internet is about cooperation, and laziness is not acceptable. You're selfish if all you think about is your network. Consider what someone could do if they gained illegal access to your network and used it to attack other people? OK, if that doesn't convince you then consider your neighbors browsing child porn through your WAP gateway and trying to explain to your dumb hick cops that you're not the one doing it when they come bust down your door.
...but the lobbyists are the ones taking our senators out for $250 steaks & donating millions of dollars to their respective party. With our current government, we need to convince congress that it is worth their while to listen to us 60 million americans.
If you can get those 60 million Americans to vote and make their voices heard to the politicians then no amount of steak dinners and golf outings are going to change their mind. Without votes they are powerless. The only reason they cozy up to the lobbyists is because they are the ones promising that they have control of the public opinion in whatever segment of the population they represent. If politicians start to doubt that then they'll tell them to go to hell in an effort to pander to their constituents.
It DOESN'T MATTER what type of government it is; majority rules.
If that were the case there would be anarchy in the streets and nobody would pay any taxes. No, sometimes the law is more than the sum of popular opinion for the good of the citizens, whether they understand that or not. Without a stable government telling people what to do it would be chaos.
This Netscape will get installed and hit the distribution cycle. It is very fast on OS.X and worth taking a look at (!)
If you haven't tried it already, take a look at Camino
(formerly Chimera). I've used it under MacOS X for almost a year now and use it as my full time browser on my iBook. It's fast, has the gecko engine with a nice Aqua interface and beats the pants off of Mozilla in terms of speed in my opinion. It's also another reason why I don't know what all the fuss is over Safari. Feh.. more chrome. It's like Java just came out and people are abusing the chrome skins again at Apple these days. Why on Earth didn't they stick with the sweet Aqua interface on everything??
this technology is far from popular where I live. But it's really odd in one way, do all advertisers actually belive that people will sit and look at their ads when they can get some more coke?
Maybe they're interested in how many people hit the pause butto to go to the bathroom 2 hours after they show a Taco Bell commercial. Statistically they could tie this directly to taco sales and increase revenue through more targetted advertising. "Statistics show that people are more likely to buy Taco Bell if we show the commercial during TNN's Ren and Stimpy block Sir."
Doesn't your phone company have a privacy manager feature? SBC/Ameritech does although it's about $4/month. I don't get telemarketing calls anymore because 99% of them would show up on caller ID as out of area or private caller, etc. and get booted to privacy manager where they have to announce themselves and I can choose to pick it up or not. Frankly, this has eliminated all of the automated cold calls I used to get. Well worth the money.
If God intended for us to use solar airplanes He would never have given us Jet A.
This is just God's way of saying to NASA that they should be researching more into "nukuler" propulsion instead. They'd get more funding from Washington.
Hell yes, maybe you could get some real work done like spending hours frigging around with an OS your IS department isn't going to support
From the sounds of his post, they aren't doing a very good job of supporting it as it is. Win2k's been out since 1999 and they're still running NT on laptops? Sounds like they've been wasting too much time depending on old ghost images and browsing slashdot instead of working on migrating to Win2k. I mean come on people, with a 5 year life cycle you can't be sitting on your ass for 4 years before you deploy a new OS! By the time you're rolling out Win2k it'll be EOL'd and you should've been doing XP instead.
Other than that, you want to use it in places you work, your home, and places you think/eat (such as restaurants). Considering the cost, it is not unlikely for restaraunts would put in 802.11b if they thought it would earn them customers, as it well might. As far as work and home, the same is true - it's often a cheap feature to add to an environment, and it's getting cheaper a lot faster than the other method.
Please don't even mention putting 802.11b in restaurants. It's bad enough I want to punch someone in the nuts everytime their god damn cell phone rings and they start to hold a conversation, I don't need them typing comments away on slashdot or browsing porn while I'm trying to eat lunch. Believe it or not, your head will not explode and you will not die if you go without communications access for upwards of 24 hours. I know, I've done it successfully and I'm still here to tell about it.
No, Debian is not enterprise ready. To be enterprise ready they need ISV and OEM support like RedHat has but more importantly, they need a company that would provide enterprise-class support AND release engineering for the OS similar to what RedHat does with their AS/ES/WS product line.
Not to mention a hefty price tag for all of that. Companies simply will not accept anything labelled "Enterprise-ready" that costs less than $500 per copy. Service contracts per machine per year must also be at least $1000. Get with the picture Debian. Apt-get is cute, but unless you start charging excessive fees for your product, you're going to be a niche player in the enterprise market.
(Yes, that was tongue-in-cheek. apt-get is much nicer than up2date).
If, after a month or so, your mom hasn't called you and demanded that you return her to Microsoft-Land, then (and only then) can the OS be said to have passed the 'Mom Test'.
What do you do if she's running Windows already and still continues to call you? I've considered changing my number but my wife thinks that would be rude. I'd consider getting her a Mac but I'm afraid she wouldn't understand it and still continue to call me when she buys some PC program and it doesn't work on the Mac.
Researching a cure for cancer is a life's work. Taking Linux and trying to build a free Cisco router out of it is a hobby. If you're really that into making routers your life's work then go apply for a job at Cisco (or Juniper or any other company that makes them). Sheesh, this guy makes me feel like I'm over the hill at 27. Time to call it quits, I'm not a millionaire, my life is a complete failure. *rolls eyes*.;-)
I've looked quite a bit for some stable work, but plumbers make more hourly then Sys Admins in South Florida.
Well there's his problem. Who uses computers in Florida anyway? If Miami Vice and Scarface taught me anything about Florida its that every down there has their hand in cocaine trafficking. Try to get in good with a Cuban drug lord, maybe you can help him organize his books. They always seem to keep all their valuable accounting information on a single floppy disk that easily falls into the hands of zany law enforcement agents who are running from the law because it doesn't know they're the good guys (or should I say Fled from the law).
If you could program some nice secure embedded Linux system with strong encryption I'm sure you'd get on the good side of one of these mob bosses and he'd set you up with a lifetime gig, cocaine, and chicks. Well, that is until you disagree with him and he blows your ass so full of bullets he has to repaint the walls. Hmm, how much did you say plumbers make again?
64bit for the consumer and the world's most beautiful OS or a meagre increase for a 32bit chip with Microsoft Windows. I know what I'll pick...
And the other 95% of computer users will pick the cheaper 32-bit Intel chip running Windows. What's your point? You're willing to pay an enormous premium for very little gain? The average consumer isn't going to see a difference between a 32-bit CPU and a 64-bit CPU other than one is going to be more expensive and perhaps run a bit faster. In 6 months the 32-bit CPU will trounce it yet again.
We've been going over this for over 10 years now. If 64-bit CPUs were some kind of panacea then the DEC Alpha would have become the dominate desktop chipset. Now it's just pleasant history. Mac users will continue to buy Macs no matter what CPU is in them if history repeats itself. They're even willing to lose almost all binary compatibility in the switch if necessary. Heck, if I remember correctly they've done it twice so far going from Motorola 68k chips to PowerPC and then from OS 9 to OS X. Most people aren't willing to make such a sacrifice in the name of platform advocacy which is why Windows still runs old DOS programs.
Servers move far more frequently than people do. I've had the same phone number for 22 years now; if slashdot.org used the same IP address for 22 years, I might start to access it without using DNS.
But do you really? You don't have a pager, cell phone, fax, work phone number, etc.? I've changed my cell phone carrier (and number) at least 4 or 5 times in the past 7 years, my home phone number 3 times in the past 5 years, and my work phone number 3 times in the past 5 years. I've had 7 different pager numbers in the last 7 years as well. Do people know how to get ahold of me? How should I know? That's why I tell them to use pencil when writing my info down in a phone book. I'd much rather have one number or alphanumeric name that I could program that someone could dial and always reach me at.
Stupid question: Can you think of a program that was written to appear broken, but actually functions in a way that is not immediately apparent?
Traceroute. It sends traffic out to UDP ports that wouldn't possibly be listening on the remote host with TTL values that ensure it won't get there. The magic is in the ICMP TTL exceeded replies of course. At first glance to someone who doesn't understand what it's doing, it would appear broken though. That's actually a useful network tool, think of what kind of stuff the black hats have been writing to masquerade their traffic and probing.
Figure abot 40 hrs to get the license and that means $15k will get you a real life pilot's license and about 160 hours of flight time. That's a far better value, with some tangible returns for the money invested, than a bunch of PCs that will be obsolete in 3 years and just simulated stick time.
Well, you kind of forgot the part about not dying when you crash your flight simulator airplane.;-)
I dont even think you even use OSX to post that you cant tell the difference between 10.2 and 10.3!!
Then you think wrong. OS X 10.2.6, iBook 800MHz G3 w/640MB RAM. I use it every single day for browsing the web, e-mail, terminals, whatever suits my fancy. What I'm saying is that to me I don't see any killer feature that would make me go "hmm, time to throw down another $120+ on an upgrade". I'm just trying to figure out why the Mac fanboys (you know, the people who get really hard core into rumors) are so excited about this release. How about something more useful like porting the voice chat from Yahoo Instant Messenger? No, never mind, just label me a troll and go stick your heads back in the sand. If we aren't all mindless wanking drones we must be trolls right? Jesus Christ, this site used to tolerate differences of opinion but I see it's gone a long way away from that. So let me change my tune, go MacOS 10.3 Panther!!! Maybe we'll get theme support!
Especially not these screenshots. I can't even tell any difference between OS 10.3 and 10.2. Woop, more brushed metal themes, it's like 1997 all over again. Hopefully they did something between these releases to justify the inevitable $130 upgrade fee.
Uruk was the first major city in Sumer and the home of the legendary hero Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh. I heard that once on Star Trek The Next Generation so it must be true. All I learned from ancient babylonian culture I learned from Star Trek.
Owning something doesn't mean you have the right to impose your will on other people (or things) outside your possesion...
Would somebody please inform the RIAA of this? Owning a copyright on a song does not give you the right to shut down peer to peer networks and force the government into imposing taxes on blank media for your personal benefit either.
If you're going to be formatting a partition during the install _anyway_, then they want you to be using ext3, and don't give you much choice.
But, like I said, ext3 is horrible. It's just ext2 with a journal and ext2 is horrible at many tasks. Take a squid proxy for instance. It can take minutes to create a large cache directory for Squid under ext2 or to add or remove a large amount of directories. Under Reiser it takes less than 10 seconds on my system (creating 45GB+ cache). I sincerely hope Red Hat adds Reiserfs, XFS, and JFS as choices to install as the boot partition in future versions.

I tend to just left click on the body of the page and pull the mouse down to scroll down the page. Sure you start selecting stuff, but who cares? :-)

Holy cow, and people say the GPL is a viral license? Whatever license UNIX was distributed under sounds like the bubonic plague compared to the GPL.
