"Small start-up entrepreneurial companies are already going full bore on it. You'll be seeing some prototype products before the end of the year."
Oh! By the end of the year, I'll mark it on my calendar, these guys are always on time, especially when something is pushed out 6 months ahead of time!
The new Protocol Adaptation Layer (PAL) for IEEE 1394 over IEEE 802.15.3 was approved Monday.
PAL... Great, better mark that one off the calendar, looks like its not going to like my NTSC setup:-P
Snider speculated that there could be plug-in cards for set-top boxes enabling wireless connection to DVD players and hard-disk drives.
Great, so I wasted all my time on a SFF MythPC for nothing... J/K. Actually, come to think of it, my home theater is almost wireless already. I pulled back the entertainment center the other day to plug in the X-Box and decided to do some cleaning up (Gasp!). It was like a fight to the death between the lonely geek and the green glowing tenticle creature from bad anime pr0n. Anyway, I ended up pulling out about 4 composite A/V cables, an S-Video cord, numerous cat-5 cables, and some Molex plugs that werent being used.
How the molex's got there is beyond me. I think the cat may have had something to do with it. Little Kerberos has had her evil eyes on me since then, maybe I distrupted her evil plan to take over the world... Or at least the home network.
Great! Now that I've got this awesome free internet connection from my neighbors I can look forward to getting HBO without cables too! The future looks bright!
This is great news but does it support RPC over HTTPS? Its really tricky to get working in Exchange 2003 but once you've got it working its wonderful (Good Tutorial). After being a POP3 guy for 8 years I've jumped ship for MAPI. I know I'll get modded down for betraying IMAP4, which I considered as I'm not tied to Outlook, but my company is.
When chicks I meet at parties or clubs/bars ask me what I do I tell them I'm a network administrator and basicly it means i goof off at home and get paid a lot of money. then i say its really boring stuff and im way more interested in hearing about you. 1. "network administrator" sounds 'hi-tech', and 2. they just wanted to know if you made good money or not. now go buy them a drink.
Normally, the term is synonymous to a trustee, which is the classic form of a fiduciary relationship. A fiduciary has rights and powers which would normally belong to another person. The fiduciary holds those rights which he or she must exercise to the benefit of the beneficiary. A fiduciary must not allow any conflict of interest to infect their duties towards the beneficiary and must exercise a high standard of care in protecting or promoting the interests of the beneficiary. Fiduciary responsibilities exist for persons other than trustees such as between solicitor and client and principal and agent.
I'm about to install SQL 2000 Server on a Windows Server 2003 machine. There is a vulnerability in SQL 2000 Server that allows the machine to be infected with the slammer worm. Unfortunatly I must install SQL and then each of the 3 service packs individually. I'm not safe from the worm until I get to the 3rd SP. My boss suggested that I simply disconnect the WAN connection but thats really not going to help me much when I'm trying to do this over the internet via Terminal Services (Its at a well known colo site). I wish there were a way to slipstream the service packs into the install like you can with XP. Does anyone have suggestions besides use MySQL?
I've never been one for math, specifically algebra. You see, before I had the opportunity to take algebra in middle school I had been programming with QBASIC. Having no formal training in Basic I ended up coming up with mathematical solutions using crude loops, variables, and goto statements. Not kosher programming now that I look back but so what, I was 12. When teachers tried to "teach" me algebra I felt like I was being unlearned. Most of the times I just scripted up some basic to help me with the homework.
Years later my high school offered a C++ class so being the geek I am I tried to get in it. Unfortunately the pre-requisites for the class were kind of high including algebra 1, 2, geometry and calculus. Like I said, I was never one for math, but programming i could handle. This was the teachers first year teaching C++, prior to that he was teaching QBASIC. When he rejected me based on my lack of pre-requisites I threw together some quick basic using RND, some colors, circles, and a few system commands to make it look pretty. The teacher let me stay and I got an A in the class. I may not have used the same formulas as the other kids in the class (They were Nerds, I was a Geek;-) but that was no problem once I found nested while loops.
Ok, so I may have actually stunted my growth in mathematics and developed bad programming habits (I dont need no stinkin XOR, I'll do it the hard way) but today I'm working as a web developer and use PHP all the time without problems (and yes I turned globals off, use sessions, and actually think the security through when doing DB stuff).
Oh hell, slashers dont know what I'm talking about
I like my bike mod better

I like my bike mod better. I attached my old ipaq to the center of the handle bars and with a pcmcia wifi card, serial GPS receiver on the back and the right software i can go biking while wardriving and listening to mp3s at the same time. Wish I had a pic. Anyone else try anything similar?
Oh yeah, and how does he get his connection while on the road, cellphone? Even with Vision or Edge it wouldnt be that great internet access now would it.
ATI taking the video performance crown, or
Apple dominating the online music sales market, or
BSD breaking internet transfer speed records, while dieing.
or AMD making a chip faster than 2.2GHz even though they can keep rating the old ones at 3x00 numbers.;)
Nah. Must have been a NASA engineer moving a decimal point wrong.
GO AMD! Your cheap parts rock for us poor college gamers!
NOTE:
This is ignoring other factors that go into TCO such as power consumption (the Radeons use far less power and may not require a power supply upgrade)
This is based on the Aquamark 3 benchmarks at 1024x768 only. If you wish to gather the mean of the other benchmarks in the linked review to figure a more percise CPF please reply.
Intended to make you think about what your getting when you pay the extra $100 for the top of the line card.
If you were wondering, I'm an ATI fanboy and would personally buy the Radeon X800 Pro if I had $400 to blow.
Kills karma to post messages you know will never be read / moderated? Didnt know that, prolly why mine is just good.
You cant possibly be saying that you and people you know switched to linux because of a printer issue.
Your right though, there will always be both camps and the people on the fence but seriously, if tomorrow longhorn came out under the gpl and was better than linux, bsd, and osx combined there would still be people using gentoo.
I have not used Longhorn, but guaging from past MS upgrades the products get more annoying to use for me.
On the other hand most users are happy with the farmiliar icons and such that LH will not be so annoying.
IE6 is web browsing hell, popups, popunders, no control over javascript etc.
And when MS finally fixes IE with no pop's and better JS control, then what?
Windows Explorer has lacking ftp support and NILL scp or sftp support.
Actually you can do ftp in IE but its no so great, or ftp with ftp.exe but its not gui. And there are a dozen free FTP clients waiting to be installed. Why is it that teh FTP, SSH, ABC, XYZ clients need to be part of the OS, didnt we want MS to integrate less.
For example, if Windows can't access the default network printer, Word crashes.
Not a problem with XP or Office 2003. Actually never seen the problem with prior version. Sure, thats not the best answer but if I complained that there was a bug in cute-tux linux 6 when version 9 just came out what would you say?
but I doubt Longhorn will be a Linux killer unless something fundamental at Microsoft has completly changed.
I doubt Linux will be a Longhorn killer unless something fundamentaly changes. Either Linux needs to innovate in a big way, or MS needs to keep making stupid mistakes.
Not trying to be an MS troll or anything, I love linux too, but open your eyes. Windows wouldnt still be here if it were as bad as you say.
Anyway, this may be a big step forward. I hate those Windows stickers. Maybe we'll see models with Penguin stickers on them in stores in a few years so people can say 'Oh how cute it comes with this lovely fat penguin on it!':)
Now that you mention it, having a cute little "Certified" penguin sticker slapped on PCs and Laptops next to the windows sticker would really help linux adoption. Not sure who that certificate issuer would be, and what hardware requirements would need to be met, but I'm sure it would make a few heads turn.
For all you up tight/ers, yeah I know the logistics of it would be a nightmare, flamewars about distros and compatability would start, holy wars would break out on usenet, microsoft would bully around OEMs not to put the linux sticker on the notebooks, or even better put the "designed for windows xp" sticker on top of the cute penguin sticker, and riots would break out in luxemburg, but hey, I can dream cant I?
Just saying, it would be a great PR move, and if someone big, say IBM or Dell started doing it, even if it just comes with a copy of Knoppix, it would start a trend. I can see the glowing green Tux sticker on the alienware notebooks already.
pocketgamer.org ROCKS! That you mike? Left the PPC scene couple years ago, still check in on the site from time to time. Prolly gonna go find out what Dan East is up to now.

Freecache... Sounds a little like all advantage to me ;).
One day I'm going to return to find that it's swallowed up the TV.

I would be more worried about it swallowing up aristotle.
Anyway, try explaining to a chick why your cats name is Kerberos and you'll get a blank look for a minute and then a cute "Oh, Kerby!" smile.

Arent we all forgetting,

Best of all, you cant do this to PHP
Is that something like:
Windows 2000, built on NT Technology.
Where the T in NT stands for "Technology"
No its more like:
Windows 2000, Built on Never Tested Technology
*Ducks!*
