Software Project Survival Guide by Steve C McConnell (Paperback) Writing Solid Code: Microsoft's Techniques for Developing Bug-Free C Programs by Steve Maguire (Paperback) The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering, Anniversary Edition (2nd Edition) by Frederick P. Brooks (Paperback) The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master by Andrew Hunt, et al (Paperback)
at least the code is working, and was uploaded to CVS, but it needs some hacking to get it work... (not so bad, you need some DLLs from QT5 player and sdk, and libwine from wine-20020310 and some config.h editing) - okay, we'll work on getting this more user-friendly...
I'm guessing red LED's are used in the first place because of the cost. I read somewhere that red LED's are pennies and blue LED's are like $2.00 USD each. I probably read that on the Internet so take it with a grain of salt.
I'm wondering how many more blue LED's we can take. I remember the first thing I seen with them was the Sony PlayStation 2. If you go in to Circuit City or Best Buy, it seems like EVERY stereo, DVD player, TV, laptop, etc has blue LED's! I'm sure consumers like them, but I can see this fad passing soon.
If anyone opens up an old optical mouse, the kind where you need a special mouse pad, make sure you don't remove the infared LED and replace it with a blue one:-)
I work a company as their IT person. They own a apartment complex that they exclusively rent to college kids for the local community college.
They've got a 3mbit cable connection, cisco router, bay switches, 10/100 drop in every bedroom. I got a call day wondering why the internet was getting slower, slower, and slower. Well, I go out there, turns out they're just saturating the network with Kazzaa, Morpheus, whatever napster-alike they use nowadays. Kids can't register for classes, etc etc
To make a long story short, they didn't have the hardware available to implement a real solution, so I basically called our cable company up, explained the situation, and had them close all the connections other than email, web, streaming audio...
The cable connection was faster than ever! I've had them open up a few more ports since then, for various things like instant messanging, but that's about it.
Sure, the kids complain. They must not understand that the kind of file sharing they are doing is ILLEGAL. That's all there is to it. Sure, you can deal drugs to your college buddies, drink when your 18, steal music... oh well...
"yeah this here vee-hickle has 129 bit RAS Cryptology you'll never have someone copy the code."
Either way, I bet I can pop your car doors open in a few minutes with a coat hanger, just imagine if I had a slim jims and the right tools like a tow truck driver!
10 years? Obviously, you've never heard of Windows 3.1 (it's still out there), Windows 95 (give it another year or two), Windows NT 4.0 (people are still installing NT on NEW servers today), Novell 3.11, OS/2 version whatever, the ancient AS/400 we have, this horrible accounting program we've been using in DOS for like 13 years, WordPerfect for DOS that Law offices still use.....
Slashdot Mirror
My cable TV has sucked lately
Our Internet connection at work stinks
My home DSL sucks this week
My dial-up won't stay connected
Anyone have more information?
Kill her with kindness. Best case: you get your job back. Worst case: you make her look like the ass she is and you get a day of fun.
Worst case, you get charged with Criminal Trespass and some random 'computer crime'
Remember the stain-resistant Dockers?
Water rolls right off them!

Who says you have to follow standards?
People [b]will[/b] create their own, royalty-free or not. The market decides who wins.
$999 gets you a 700MHz G3, 128MB, and the 12.1 screen
$1599 is the starting point for the 14.1 machines. They do have 256MB, 32MB video, and a Combo drive, though.
But we've hooked up 2 Powerbooks and a G4 Mac, and shared 2 Firewire HD's, 1 scanner, and 1 digital camera.
All the Mac's see it, and you also see the other Mac's HD's on your connection, if you have filesharing on.
There is Exchange equivalent for Linux
Free as in Beer, and free as in "it came on my redhat CD disk 2"
Some people are still implementing NT 4.0 Servers
Okay, I asked a serious question. What gives!?
Linux port of Doom, as in the id software game.

He had quite a UNIX history, but I'm guessing it's not the same guy. After all, it's not like Dave Taylor is an uncommon name.
Time for my list of GAY NERD SHIT
Harry Potter
Lord of the Rings
Anime
Star Wars
Star Terk
Bablyon five
Grow upfaggits! will be watchign sci-fi in your parnets basement for the reast of yourlives!
These aren't "Become the Master of UNIX in 24 hours", or "Become a Astrophysicist in 24 hours"
The books basically are a catalyst for you to learn more, explore, buy more books, etc etc
Is this the same Dave Taylor, ddt, from Crack dot Com and the Linux port of Doom?

At least it DOES work
Instead of struggling with Windows settings and DLL's, I can blow up countries!
He's certainly not going to save Christmas....
couldn't have been anything THAT serious
Any military insiders/Brit HaX0rs care to describe some US Military systems?

You can read a few online. I think the other ones were offered on CDROM a while back
This isn't a HOWTO. Read the HOWTO-HOWTO.
It's more like a tutorial or informative web page.
Please don't mod me down!

How many Slashdot'ers does it take to change an LED?

Honestly, no PC-based laptop can compete. Size, battery life, specs other than CPU speed....style
Now, if they'd put a serial port on the back, it comes with a UNIX-based doesn't it?!
Maybe a USB-serial converter would work. Can you say console access?
