Windows is like a prostitute. It's expensive, but it does look pretty, give you a good time with its 'ease of use'. Unfortunately you can easily contact virus, worms and other parasites (such as adware, spyware) easily by using it long enough.
I'd rather have a stable relationship, that's why I pick Linux.
On my Gentoo box running KDE 3.2.0, there's a Klipper program which acts as a clipboard for the copy buffers. Somehow I think that program is able to distinguish the two different methods of copying, and whenever I do a C-c, then select some text and C-v, it will paste the text I copied with C-c, and if I middle-click with the mouse, it will paste the text I just selected.
Personally I think that's a nice way to do it, since I have two ways to copy things, and having two pseudo buffers is quite nice. Naturally, if things do get confusing, I can always click on the Klipper icon in the system tray and select the text I wanted to paste.
Also, if the left click select/middle click paste must be relied upon, just select and delete the text first, then select the text that needs to be copied. It's only a matter of reversing the workflow compared to the 'normal' Windows way.
Well, duh, beta is another way to spell 'better', so the 'beta edition' must mean the 'better edition'. Unlike final versions, like how they say it's final, but they didn't say 'better' or 'beta'! =P
Hmm, wait a minute, this piece of beta software I have running seems to be misbehaving...
While this may force foreign firms to lower their patent fees, some experts warn that China risks isolating itself if it creates standards that are incompatible with the rest of the world.
While that is true, China could also benefit from setting their own standards, letting other corporations or other countries use it for free or much lower cost than the more costly, patent protected counterparts. That will likely turn the table around and isolate the more expensive alternatives of what we have now, and will be using their cheaper and possibly superior standards for our future needs.
One of my friend "broke" his computer, told him to install Firebird and not install crap. He installed it, but continued to use crap, and whined about his computer crashing and so he sent it over to my house. Once I boot it up, I saw that he renamed his Firebird icon to 'Internet Explorer'.
- Since the Linux kernel got started it was open, and it had a lot LESS flaws than Windows during the same time period. - With code open to everybody, the credibility of the writers depend on the quality they were assessed, and so they must write good code. - Windows, being closed in nature, can hide their flaws to an extent, until they were opened like so. Still, when it was closed it didn't stop hackers from finding holes.
Actually, it is theorized that Neptune actually have methane that gets compressed into diamonds near its core. With the newly compress diamonds being heavier than its surrounding, it actually falls towards the core, and gets heat up much like a meteror. Since this is a planet-wide (or planet core-wide) process, a significant amount of heat will be produced this way. (Neptune radiates 2.5 times more heat it receives from the sun, IIRC)
Actually, on my personal site, I have something like 'View with any XHTML 1.0 and CSS2 compliant browser' and somewhere down the line 'strongly not recommended: Microsoft Internet Explorer, all versions', because it consistently break my layouts.
Then again, that is why I have the <!--[if IE]><link rel="stylesheet" href="main-ie.css"/><![endif]--> at the head part to 'fix' up most of the idiotic errors IE makes...
Actually, I did the same thing yesterday, I just delete the entire key. Since the key => value pair was added by the spyware itself, there is no adverse side effect from deleting the whole thing. Also, the 'run' directory shouldn't have a billion things in there, because those are all the programs that will try to run when you start up your computer. Consider looking into what it is trying to run and delete appropriately. Of course, be careful.
Too true. Yesterday I had a friend who whined at me saying that the computer I helped him bought sucked, keeps crashing and all. He eventually told me "his Internet" doesn't work (it keeps freezing my computer!), and so I told him to fire up cmd (or command in non-WinNT), and type this in:
cd \ ftp ftp.mozilla.org anonymous p@a.c cd pub/mozilla.org/firebird/releases/0.7 binary get MozillaFirebird-0.7-win32.zip
And told him to wait... When it was done, told him to open up My Computer -> C:, unzip the file, and boom, new browser. Mind you, he isn't a knowledgable computer user at all, but he managed to do that.
Funniest thing was when I did this a few months ago to my cousin, she recognized that was the 'Internet' and she told me she never knew you could surf the net in DOS... hah.
Anyway, use the steps above to 'cure' IE when they can't start a browser.
PS: binary is to change from ASCII transfer to BINARY in the lame DOS ftp client, so no corrupted zip files will be downloaded.
It could be a standard USB storage device, and if that's the case, just compile your kernel with USB support, along with SCSI (because the data transfer rides on top of the SCSI layer) and it will work. To use it, mount the appropriate SCSI storage device (like/dev/sda1) onto a mount point, and you will get to use it. If I am missing something, feel free to correct me.
These kinds of restrictions must be placed in hardware (although I think it is idiotic in nature anyway) if it must be enforced, because I could scan it, save it onto the hard drive, load up Gimp (or any other unrestricted software), change the serial number (or add other alteration), and send it to the printer.
I think the hardware I describe does exist, somewhere... perhaps someone can enlighten us about those.
Oh yeah, I do wonder what might happen if somehow this 'feature' may prevent opening of normal, user files (although unlikely).
Hmm... how about any possible DMCA issues surrounding all this?
421 avnavfw.AVONDALE Sorry, the
firewall does not provide mail service to you.
It seems like they can't figure out the difference between a mail server and a firewall. If you can connect to the port it is not firewalled off, rather the mail server prevents you from using it.
Reminds me of the slew of buzzwords used in the movie Swordfish.
Also, make sure those users can SSH *will not* submit passwords as clear, plain text, even for use inside the network! I know places that insists on using SSH, but don't care so much about FTP, even if the FTP account is the same user name AND password as the SSH account. One admin there even told me to telnet(!!!) to another remote machine within the network.
Motto: don't [write|send|communicate] your passwords in plain text, ever! If you do, change it! (always change the password root gives you, which usually arrive in plain text..)
I was once bullied too via a website, and that person decided to put that site on Angelfire. I complained to Angelfire via their webform, but they didn't reply quick enough (was not looked into for two days), and so I sent them this email...

I was about 16 then, trying in vain to sound like a lawyer. Anyway those kids posted pictures a blurred out scanned picture of me from the yearbook, and posted some false information about me, and went to an online game I played and spread the link.. slight damage was done, but whatever, after I sent that email the site was gone within 24 hours, and they replied saying that had been taken care of.
Then again, if those kids knew how to set up a personal server.... DDoS time.
Sorry to break it out to you, that you didn't really pay attention to the date of the actual article. Anyway, China was already backing Linux since 2000, as the link you have provided suggests. Then in 2003 Microsoft shows China the source to Windows, as the first article you linked up showed. Either way, China already concluded that Linux is better than Windows.

However it did successfully clean out the FORM.A boot virus I had on my 486 running Win 3.1. Those were the days.

Now, he can do what you did too!
The counterargument(s) to that point is...
- Since the Linux kernel got started it was open, and it had a lot LESS flaws than Windows during the same time period.
- With code open to everybody, the credibility of the writers depend on the quality they were assessed, and so they must write good code.
- Windows, being closed in nature, can hide their flaws to an extent, until they were opened like so. Still, when it was closed it didn't stop hackers from finding holes.

No....

How about the movie 2.6.0?
I think it's going to rock the world!
I am very glad I will get to watch it soon!
Error 421 is an error code returned by a mail server (or an SMTP proxy, if some of you are *that* picky) that means service unavailable.
Reminds me of the slew of buzzwords used in the movie Swordfish.
My dad has a vintage calculator from the 1970's
Guess what? It "booted" within a few milliseconds after I hit the 'on' switch!

I smell another anti-trust suit coming.. isn't this yet another blatant violation of the suit they settled not so long ago?

As a matter of fact, they've been shipping this to the world since 1985.
