Why would the Republicans censor movies? Do they have a history of Censorship? I know the Democratic party does. Clinton signed the V-Chip bill and Al Gore's wife Tipper spent many years getting 2 Live Crew and other "Offensive" music banned/rated.
And movie censorship is currently not government based all. Nor has it ever been.. It is done by the MPAA. Granted the MPAA started the rating system so the government wouldn't censor.
Have you ever used Groupwise? This program alone is enough to make anyone hate Novell. It might be nice to admin, but who cares? I don't admin it and the Clinet SUCKS. And where is the GW client for linux? There is a SunOS version but no Linux.
My other major complant about Novell is how deep into WinXXXX Netware inserts itself. Couldn't it just map the drives and be happy? And don't even try to keep Nwtray.exe from loading. It reinserts the entry back into the Reg every time you login in. Now I get "Can't find file NWtray.exe" every time I log in.
Actually the 48G is way to slow for some things.
Try building a bode plot using the built in scripting langauge. It took about 2 minutes, although I'm sure that was mostly due to the scripting language.
You can never have too much CPU, as long as the batteries last....
Give me a break, Win2k IS nicer then NT4 but it still sucks. It is just WAY to easy to break.
Ways I have killed Win2k:
Installed NT4 driver: BSOD AND worse. (Did it twice:( when there wasn't any win2k drivers yet) And and they didn't even give a waning on install.
Move the Boot partion to a new drive: It boots but it does an auto logout on login. Not really useful. This worked fine in NT.
Installed a 3rd party mouse driver that died (This time it was a Win2k driver): Why are the mouse and the keyboard controled by the same driver? This seems stupid to me. If this driver dies, you are fubar. And once you have booted correctly once, you can't change to a working driver(No keyboard or mouse).
If this article is true, I bet the idea was short lived. Why?
No air on moon = no "mushroom" cloud.
No "mushroom" cloud means that bomb flash will last less then a second. Just a VERY quick flash of light. Dust would also fall pretty quick without air.
If nobody was actualy going to see it, why bother? General population is NOT going to believe that a small millisecond flash (most would only see it on photo anyway) was a nuclear explosion.
If I remember correctly, the USSR concidered a moon a-bomb as a show of power but descided against it. Feble little flash on the side of the moon wouldn't be worth the trouble.
I'm not sure about the released version, but the Helix version of Gnome you can set the panel size. You have to pick from 4+ sizes but one of them is "tiny" or 24 pixels tall/wide. Resizing the panel makes the lauchers resize as well. Works pretty good. Only problem is that at 1600x1280, it is sometimes a little hard to make 24x24 icons:)
I pretty much use gnome just for the panels. It is just too easy to custimize. I can handle text config files, but why would you mess with them if you didn't have to?
To me this case seems to be quite a bit different. It is about Free Republic posting full news stories from the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post. Not quoted parts, during a discussion but the whole thing that then starts a discussion. Might not seem like much of a difference, but I think it would make a big difference in court.
I got my Espresso last week. Works great. In Win98, once I added my netgear USB/Ethernet adaptor, it started locking up, but since I installed Win2000, everything works great. Maybe my ears suck(they do) but I didn't notice the Wav out problem. Winamp sounded fine to me, at least as good as my shitty computer at work does though headphones. It's built in speaker DOES really, really suck, but who cares? Lots of people seem to be missing the point of the Espresso. With an espresso, you kind of have to "live off the land". Just about everywhere you go today has a keyboard/moniter. Why carry one, when you can just "jack in" to one that is aready there? I don't keed a laptop, but is is nice to just happen to have my computer in my suitcase when I need it give someone an important file. Laptops are just to heavy to carry with you just because you can. Not to mention that It will work great in my car:)
2 weeks a go, I decided to give Wk2 a go at work. It lasted just under a week. It WAS stable at first, but as the week went on, it started going downhill. On the second day, VisualCafe's Java Virtual Machine(1.1.x) died unexpectedly a couple of times. I didn't think much of it, but on the third day, it started to die more often. Every other time I launched a Java program, the JVM would die instantly. Even a reboot didn't help. On the forth day, Win2k started locking up. Everything was would be running fine (WinAmp at least) but no mouse or keyboard. It locked up 4 times, each requiring a reboot to fix. Finally I just decided to go back to Nt4, since it was still on my system. That is when I found the unexpected "benefits" of Win2k. At some point it updated the version number on my NTFS partions to version 5. Now, Nt4 tools will no longer work. Diskeeper will not do boot time Defrags and when booting off of the NT4 cd, it doesn't recognize the partions as valid.
Moral of story, YMMV. For basic use, Win2k seems fine. But if you need to do real work, be cautious.
I just finished rereading "Children of Dune" and they made it very clear that it is taking place in "earth's distant future". In various of the dune books, people/events of current history are mentioned. Hitler is mentioned in one of the first 2 books.
The Dune books are a must read. My be a litte advanced for a 13 year old but still a must read.
Of course, that is why you could do it in a seperate (but identical) CPU without any problems. The code optimizations could be much better then what you could get out of a hardware only solution.
If one Transmeta CPU, running the morphing software and actual productive code, is on par with a PIII 500 Mhz, what would the speed improvements be if you used 2 CPUs? One dedicated to morphing, and one dedicated to productive code? Design would be almost as easy as current design, and speed could double. Best part of this approach is that it still appears that your system has a single CPU. Win9x will still work.
I've have used Visual Cafe for > 2 years, and Visual Cafe doesn't use wraper classes at all. It does have some of it's own classes, but they add functionality that is missing in java.awt and are not wrappers. And these classes are pure java. If you add them to your classpath, you can use then on any platform, with any IDE/JVM.
I do hope the RTF version is better then RC2. I'm sure(hope) it is. But, a RC is not a beta, it is a release canidate. Only MINOR changes are(should?) be allowed before RTF. I will be using W2K for the next 5-10 years so I hope they get it mostly right. For the most part it does seem pretty nice, or at least better then NT4.
As much as I love my palm, the palmOS is WAY to limited. First off, it is only 16 bit, which just sucks. Second, you have a hard time making a App larger then 32K (Just the app, not counting other dbs the app uses). I think you can make 64K apps but it isn't easly.
Programming on the palm can be a pain in the ass. i.e. Must use StrStr instead of strstr. strstr will compile, but it will bitch about missing libs (and force a reset) if you run the progam. Maybe its just been to long since I've used c.
Try installing a NT4 driver in 2k. What happens? Well, my logitech driver made me loose keyboard and mouse. SoundBlaster Live! driver caused a BSOD on boot. May I ask, why does a sound card driver kill the entrie system? How about a "Couldn't load driver" message and then no sound?
BTW, To install a NT4 driver, just stick in the driver cd, it will auto-install without any warnings. I would be very afraid if I was a hardware vendor. Maybe the RTM is better then RC2 but I wouldn't hold my breath.
You need a 1.2 version of the JDK. I don't think 1.1.X will work, at least it didn't for me.
I like InstallAnywhere, but I hate how it doesn't get you any feedback on errors(like class not found). A simple "Coun't find class swing.x" would be nice
My TNT with a Celeron 450 is JUST playable. FPS are pretty low, but I haven't tired turning down the Quality setting yet. It was easier just to reboot to Win98.
I don't know where the bottle-neck is so a TNT2 might or might not help you.
NT does and will crash from a user program, Although I will admit it is pretty rare. Visual Cafe has done it before. And I've been told(First hand) that Director will do it daily.
I know it is just luck, but I've NEVER had linux "panic" on me. I'm not even sure what it does. Does anyone know?

Has everyone forgotten that 3dfx did the same thing to NVIDIA not to long ago? I'm pretty sure large amounts of cash changed hands.
I don't feel sorry for 3dfx, they will pay the money, and move on. Lets just hope that they can stay in the game.

Only thing I know of is that you MUST upgrade pppd to 2.4.0b2 on > 2.3.99.pre5. Otherwise, you WILL lock up.
Hard reboots SUCK.

Just my .0002 cents.
How is Java syntax is not understandable?
Sorry, but Java syntax is straight C, with "."'s for object methods.
If you want messed up syntax, try VBScript.
Now that is one screwed up language.
() are not allowed on method calls unless there
is a return value AND you are using it? Who thought of this?

Based on previous Betas release dates, it will be in 3-4 weeks, and not for the most part "When it's ready".
