So shall we throw out all the quality managment standards, like ISO9001? I don't think so.
You have to fullfill your customer requirements - if you need a database to track all of them, good. But you should not be able to sell it, rent it or otherwise pass this information to third parties.
ISO9001 Certifications are consumer/customer centric. If you don't know your customer, how can you archieve ceritifcations like this - you need a database of customer requirements, right?
Quoting from the ISO site :
The ISO 9000 family is primarily concerned with "quality management". This means what the organization does to fulfil:
- the customer's quality requirements, and
- applicable regulatory requirements, while aiming to
- enhance customer satisfaction, and
- achieve continual improvement of its performance in pursuit of these objectives.
Just store on the USB/Whatever flash drive the inodes that do differ from the installed RO(Read Only) version in the HD. And perhaps compress them on the fly.
... and surely you had not laid your hands on a 4-pipeline Alpha processor. Because if you did (like I used a 2-pipeline 300MHz Alpha) you would now they outperform all their counterparts (even MIPS).
My DIGITAL Alpha 300MHz processor outperformed 1.6GHz IA32 with same software.
Also beying transparent means it does not absorb visible radiation (or absorbs less). I'm not sure if this has an impact on general purpose electronics though. Has it ?
You don't need to. You know, it is not hard to rewrite sections of code inside executables, and if they use shared libraries its even easier.
Tecnically speaking, you can "overload" some internal functions and replace them with your own. All you need to do then is spread the new package for others to download it. Most people do not verify checksums/MD5. Most people download software from P2P, where its damn easy to share malicious executables.
I wonder if they also consider shareware and freeware as a possible threat.
You know, it's easier to hide funcionalities in Shareware/Freeware than in OSS - you can't look at the code and observe them at one glance. I wonder if it would not be easier to spread malicious code in PaintShopPro and others.

Then just create new entries in the API and "deprecate" the oldest ones. They can give up on CreateWindow[Ex], mantaining the implementation but dissalowing its use on newer VC++ compilers , then create a new API function, like XPCreateWindow() or something.
Why don't they do like nVidia, release a pre-compiled binary driver core and an open-source, compilable interface, which hopefully will manage to unify all diferences between different kernel versions and distros ?
The technology is still too damned expensive for most people.
This is also true for HDTV providers. Standard TV sets were also expensive for us all when they first appeared. New technologies must be pushed through even if at start consumer prices are too high for Joe Users.

Well, I found that lame encoding using r3mix is even better than CBR192. I managed to get 130-150 kbps VBR with *very* *very* good quality.
I believe CBR is not the best way to encode music. For instance, why would you encode a 2-second silence gap with 192kbps if you don't have actually any discernible sound on it ?
Damn. I hope these ones won't be as buggy as the 810/815. I've tried a few ones, and all I got was random halts on my penguin OS....
BTW I would like to know if any of you ran memtest86 on i810/815 boards... I did on several ones and I got some pretty nice errors... so I fall back to my oldie PII. At least this one works 7/24.
Somewhat like what I din in my homepage. I just put multilingual content between tags like EnglishFrançais and then use a small perl script to parse the files... works fine for me
Well... lots of then AFAIK... It's somewhat furstrating to read posts like "ALAN COX SUXS" on our beloved/. (at least it is to me). USENET shows us how impossible it is NOT to have this "delicious" posts. If people's mentality could raise up a little, we might not have need for this kind of discussions.

Make it open source and you will surely get lots of volunteers.
Does shareware still gives money these days? I doubt, but again it's only my humble opinion.
Technically speaking:
Just store on the USB/Whatever flash drive the inodes that do differ from the installed RO(Read Only) version in the HD. And perhaps compress them on the fly.
IMHO this is not hard to implement.

Pity HP/COMPAQ sold themselves to the wild....

Get my point ?

Has anyone received any alert from CERT regarding this issue ? I have not, and also have not found any references to it on US-CERT website.

What do you mean by a DirectX chipset ?
You mean it does suport DirectX, I guess.

Sorry, the management.
I wonder who's the "manager"....

Oh, thank God!!! I was starting to feel really scared about this
Yes.
Read the CERT Advisory CA-2002-27.

Indeed this looks like an Intel something...
