I think this is really cool actually. If it isn't a sequal or preqaul an actual remake of some of the good oldies using the tech of today would make for some class A entertainment. Imagine how scary Jason and Freddy could be today if the originals were redone.
I think in the case of the evil dead it might detrack a bit because I don't love these movies because they were scary I love them because they are so cheasy that they crack me up. The evil dead/army of darkness movies are awesome!
My grandfather and uncle had flying lawn mowers in western PA for years in the early to mid eighties. They didn't fly so much as hover slightly above the ground. What made them handy is that they were exceptionally easy to push around. I don't know if this one is really a lawn mower as I have seen a number of novelty flying models that mimic the look but flying lawn mowers really do exist and they are definitely not something new.
I was in the USAF and let me be the first to tell you that almost every contract is bid out and goes to the lowest bidder. This is true whether it is for a batch of hammers, stealth fighters or even helmets and bullet proof vests. That makes you feel all warm and fuzzy doesn't it?
MS is doing exactly what apple did in the 80s to entrench itself in the education market. They are giving very, very amazing discounts to the education and non-profit sector. I am talking about $10-$20 or less per license for windows and office. When they build up enough of a stronghold the discounts will subside however.
I still don't understand why the cash strapped school system isn't embracing linux or freebsd completely though. You surely can't beat free in terms of licensing cost!!!
in my home file server I don't use raid at all. I have my drive with exported filesystems mounted under/export and my backup drive (identical drive) mounted under/backup (but not all the time) and I run this every night from cron
that way you have a perfect mirror copy of all of your data/home directories/whatever cloned on a second drive nightly and if the first drive dies you just unplug it and remount your backup drive as/export and away you go.
whatever.... heh... to bad olympus memory write times and autofocus suck besides the fact that the images are to hard:-) I dumpled an E-1 on ebay to buy my 10D system
I bought a 10D but it wasn't really the software capability that made me do it. The 10D is 100% metal frame and body/skin as well as the lens mount it is 900% more durable than the flimsy all plastic digital rebel... I could drop this thing off a truck and still use it. The 10D also has a pc flash sync for studio strobes. I guess what I am saying is that no amount of added features in the software can make it as good a camera as the 10D
openbsd isn't realistically any more secure than ANY other OS when running the same software. The approach is better and the kernel may be better but once you put a user behind it it's the same as OSX
More importantly OSX IS another unixlike OS and is functionally very much like Openbsd....with a far better and more functional GUI
XF86 SUCKS
ahh but the difference is if your house is in a good neighborhood and never broken into it's different than it is if your house is in a bad neighborhood in the bronx and never gets broken into. The internet is the bad neighborhood in the bronx and the unix boxes and macs live there and they are successfully explointed far less than anything else because of their design.
ok ok.... whining babies.... osx is much harder to exploit and if they would give up on the stupid resource forks all together (is possible if you format with ufs instead of hfs) even this vulnerability would not exist.
I prefer to maintain the system via packages because they are easier to add/remove/upgrade and maintain but I like the optimization and control you get over the finished product when you build it from source. All of the packaging systems are fairly well documented so I choose to build my software from source and build packages myself. This way I can maintain a large number of machines and keep them identical quite easily.
I am tired of all of this worm crap... I am just happy to see that someone wrote a worm that is killing infected computers and putting them out of their misery instead of quietly using them to spread their junk forever.
That's one thing I miss about old dos viruses... they weren't as complex but more of them were fatal.
Maybe windows or mac would be better for this guy..
I think it's a good thing that linux has not seen more use by larger groups of idiots. The survey posted on this page 3 days ago said that linux server have had the highest successful penetration rate out of their server group. There is a reason for this. Because people that should never be touching unix are installing it like putting on new underwear because the media created a buzz around it. Linux must be maintained properly like anything else and it is not even almost at a point where someone that can't configure their printer should be trusted to maintain it. This is the #1 reason it was rated worst rather than best... To many installations with idiots and retards at the helm.
I love my mac and it does ALOT of things that I can't consider doing with my linux boxen. Mix audio like a pro with pro-tools like software... I'm there. Avid video editing... I'm there to. I love linux but the same quality software to do these things just don't exist there yet. Added to which if I feel like having a little fun Unreal 2k3 plays faster on my g4 800mhz ibook than it does on my 2.4ghz p4 linux machine.
Qwest has been selling unlimited in state and out of state long distance for $19.99 for almost a year now. I have been quite happy as my phone bill is now NEVER over $60 US unless I choose to call international. This is not new... anyone that would degrade thier service to use voip for this when they can do it on their land line is crazy.
this is very old news ... see Serel at freshmeat

serel - fast boot software serel is a utility that helps computers to boot faster by adding synchronization and integrity- checking to the operating system's "service startup" phase, allowing services to be started in parallel. The software supports the visualization of services, dependencies, and timings.
Come on you people know what this is really for. Anyone in Iran that uses this proxy and goes to google to look up the phrase "Diesel tractor fertilizer sprayer" is going to have a cia/marine goon sqad tracking down their physical location and there will be a cruise missile headed for their house/cyber cafe as they must be a terrorist building bombs.

As if it wasn't bad enough that you open source dorks stole the entire SysV Unix codebase from SCO now you want to reverse engineer someone elses work to rip it off so that you can watch dvd's. They have this new thing available now for $35 at your local walmart... it's called a dvd player and it was made to watch movies on your tv.
J/k:-)
I run a mail system for a regional isp and in the last week or so I have seen my average mail load rais exponentially. Right now I am processing more mail in a 24 hour period than I had previously been in over a month. There are alot of people that are using these blocklists that didn't have the good sense to set up their own and mirror that data. So if every incoming message represents a query to the dns serving the data and the mail load on a typical isp server has increased literally by 10,000% it stands to reason that sobiga-f certainly did create most of this problem.
I have been shooting digital and slide for years now. I have owned Canon (S20, 10D), Olympus (D-610), Minolta (Dimage7) and Sony (DSC-F717). All of these cameras had little quirks Olympus/Minolta had slow focus issues (though minolta resolved theirs via a wonderful firmware upgrade) none of these cameras made me more upset than waiting for the sony to write images to it's crap memory stick. With the Minolta (my last camera) I could run circles around it at 5mp high qual jpg shooting a full 1.5-2 frames per second. The F717 took a full 4 to 5 seconds to write the same sized image. At first I thought it was just mine but a friend owned the same camera and had exactly the same results. This spring I went full circle back to canon with the 10D. Of all of these cameras none produced the same quality image that the little S20 Point and shoot did.

mounting the device serving the web content as read only would also put an end to "hacked by chinese" index pages!!

I have been in contact with one two many CCNA/CCNEs that have never actually setup a cisco router to do actual work outside of the lab environment.

when is the last time you saw a 64 or 128 way PC sharing the same bus and memory? This is Sun's bread and butter ... a pc can't kill that

In most cases around here the ILEC telcos are the closest Tier1 ISPs so they are making money both ways.
