Is it only a friggin 2D thing? I for one like at least three degrees of freedom and that would be 1080. So what kind of idiots are running the XBox naming scheme? Are MS cronies trying to get the most popular name by testing the waters at cool sites? XBox or CrossBox -> CrushBox has been proven wrong... next step in evolution? XXBox or yust plain and simple X-2 (X-II)? Nope don't think so... it has to have some LIVE element in it too... LiveBox perhaps... lame... ABox is already taken, BBox is way to similar to BeOS, YBox why oh why... ZBox sounds kinda cool but Americans pronounce Z (Zed) wrong so it loses its lustre and sounds German. And it will have the cell technology... CellBox... way too corny but it sounds like SellBox... probably even worse... LiveCell but that is too far from the past... X usualy stands for fail so perhaps it will become the CheckBox to indicate that MS takes it more seriously now... but that was the Amiga so that is off the limits too. WinBox (WBox) is probably the only name they can use that doesn't infringe on anything that they don't have. X2Box, XIIBox -> ChiiBox... But why does it need to be a box? XFridge... XLith (as in Monolith) XCrate oh my oh my... XCon sounds too fishy... Now we can do the car extensions XBox 3000, XBox Turbo, XBox GT argh not fun... HEXBox sounds cool maybe too cool... why not ReXBox as in King of consoles and Re-XBox:-D I like that one... I think it will be RexBox. And oh by the way MS... you herd it from me first! I am sending my bill:-D
How do you know which password ordinal to use if there is someone that is trying to brute force it? I find it lesser if it increments after a sucessful use of a password. I like the idea but having a password that you get from a "unique" device that you have on your keychain is better. A time piece that in conjunction with your password makes the entire password. Depending on the precission of the time piece one can get a pretty secure system.
Hm... I don't see why the renaming will change anything. If one wants 4096 bit encryption to be safe one needs to use a pass* 512 bytes long and anything less will compromise the overall strength of the encryption scheme used (using more is not necessary.) Now most password hashes are based on SHA-1 and thus any password larger than 20 bytes will not help you much. So updating the base hash to use newer version of SHA like SHA-512 will increase things to 64 characters. Anyone dealing with security knows this but the problem is obviously joe doe that usually don't give a poop and is not using any password at all, and with auto login. Home users is not a problem but corporate users are and corporations need to teach good security practices. Until CEOs and other upper echelon inhabitants realize that computers are not just point and click or that operating an office suite is the end all and be all of computing this lack of security will profuse all bussinesses. In the end the corporations with the worst security measures will "die" because of this hybris, and I say let them because it is their own ignorance. No matter what OS people use security should be taken a lot more seriously than it has so far. I have exposed flagrant security breaches in my years dealing with computers and it is baffling to see how little "normal" people understand the power of computers. Obviously this post will as all my previous posts be rewarded an entire 0 points and my karma will bleed like a woman after PMS. But hey I am not a after points... nor status... Just trying to convince myself here that we don't have too many Microsoft cronies working covertly at slashdot.
Gives meaning to have Jupiter and Saturnus (and other smaller giants) in our solar system as a buffer doesn't it. Mars will need to be hospitable by then just in case so we don't get sucked in. Talking about a coupld of billion years from now but hey... one has to start early.
Perhaps this is some cicvilization that forced it to happen so they would survive in the longrun. In any event it should be VERY easy to spot such an event because they wouldn't be a dime a dozen. Also much cheaper to make the entire start system and keep the start ship vessels (habitable planets) with them at all time. Note to future generations: Keep earth as intact as you possibly can so we also can do this when time comes.
As long as HP is MS' bitch they will never amount to anything to what they once were. Sheesh... only supporting NT4 when it came out and ditching UNIX... shame on you SHAME on you and let you NEVER rise again unless you reconcile and ditch the real bitch.
OK there is no Europe yet but thats why its beta... draging the map... sweet sweet sweet. So the graphic tiles and their URL's have better than Base-30 compression (haven't checked with tcpdump but it seems obvious) interesting that all of them are called mt.gif in the browser:-D So the MS patent is completely moot... they can have it BWAHAHAHAHA
Bwahahaha upside down "!" is filtered out by slashcode... Lame Lameness LAME I tell ya! Anyhow Microsoft can be spellt with an upside down exclamation mark and it makes it very hard to see with most fonts. So there... if they do have IDN then it will be simple and utterly trivial to phish microsoft.
OK these BS patents need to friggin stop. Also I can almost bet my behind that Akamai has prior "art" on this. Also why didn't they go with Base-64 notation? I am and it is more compact. MS are simply "smart" idiots and IF the patent office grants them this patent they should be lobotomized promptly.
Either my calculations are wrong or I might be a bit rusty in understanding but with that speed on protons they would wigh approx 3 mg each... now that is a heck of a lot and with that speed they should do some damage even if they are small. Anyone care to elaborate on this?
SVR4 you insensitive clod... no it really matters... also why no word about Amiga 300UX being the first one having full compliance to the SVR4 spec? Also why not wander down the XPG specs... the UNIX95 and UNIX98... and most importantly POSIX... OK yes the article did rub me the wrong way for its lack of reverence I suppose... let it be known that I for one think that just because using linux and OSS in general gives me no right to even try to rewrite history the way big corporations do.

but but but 365 still stays the same.... arg... is there something logical about our 24/7? nah that couldn't be... people back in the age werent' that smart;-)
What complete and utter BS. I had more than one computer when I was very young... but then again I didn't play games on them. I tried to learn new stuff. Thats right using the computer as a tool not as RECREATION!
> What's your favorite Linux distribution? Why?
RedHat Because thats where I started.
> Does anyone you know still run Windows?
Yes
> What religion are you?
Science
> Vi or emacs?
Both!
> Mac users: all gay?
Since when does such an attribute consitute a sex?
> How do you feel about abortion?
Only the woman shall decide
> Which U.S. presidential candidate do you support?
I am happy that I am not American because they both suck.

In no way shape or form and I have proof.

Not really.

why not just call it EggBox.
I don't recall that any of those were backward compatible so really the comparison is not valid. My bets are on SONY.

But lawyers need work too ;-)
I hope the sarcasm didn't fry your monitors.

But you lose the elegance of just needing one character.

Mcrosoft this one is much harder to spot than the PayPal one. Unless using mono space font which nobody does on Win.

hm... that explains a lot.... tks!
and that would be A-3000UX and not 300... see you made me angry! grrrrrrr.

Meh... Rammstein's tune "Amerika" sums it up quite well.
It is called testers paradox in statistics.

hm..... That would be Süse to be VERY nitpicky.
