and then when I'm done with the second one I'll put the first one back in 'cause I don't know where the case is. The fact that I put that first CD back in the drive doesn't mean I want to run it...
Maybe Ubuntu should prompt you you to go find the case then...
In Mac OS 7.5 - 8.5, you could get easter eggs by typing the text "secret about box" into any text editor that supported drag & drop and text clippings, selecting the text and dragging it to the desktop. In one OS, it would start a "brick-out" type game with the developer's names.
I love Virtual Appliances. But HOWTOS are still necessary because I, for one, always question the security/authenticity of 3rd party VMware images. I use them to eval software and, if I like it, create my own appliance so I have full control and know there are no rootkits/backdoors installed...
TFA states, "[openfire is] an extremely capable collaboration system [...] able to do much more than simple chat". I use Openfire, and am not aware of it's collaboration system. Can anyone explain? SInce TFA doesn't seem to...
FWIW Many years ago a friend of mine dropped my digital camera into the ocean, when I handed it to her to hold while I exited a kayak. (She replaced the camera and the card inside). The card inside, a 256MB CF card, continued to work for almost 2 years after that. I never trusted it and only used it for things I didn't care about, expecting it to die at any moment... but it held out for longer than expected. And that was with salt water...
Agreed. I own "gitlinfamily.com" and often people would get tripped up by that name when I would tell it to them. I thought "gitlin.name" would be better... but in fact, the ".name" confuses people a hell of a lot more.
And how do you rationalize "access to all relevant data concerning [critical] networks without regard to any provision of law, regulation, rule, or policy restricting such access." ?
Very well put. I too have Netflix and wouldn't mind paying more, but not a ridiculous amount more! I use about 75GB/mo, and I feel I already pay an appropriate amount for that. Create lower, cheaper plans rather than devaluing what's already in place!
Well crap! I'm not too far from Greensboro, NC -- I'm outside RTP. And in February, a short month, I used a total of over 75GB of bandwidth. Mostly netflix streaming. That's probably exactly what TWC is trying to prevent. What are my other options?
I'm not arguing with you -- what you said is very plausible and I can see that happening. It would be incredibly stupid... which is why I can see it happening! Javascript is javascript, and open standard. If boxee wanted to limit their content specifically to web browsers they should use a browser plugin. Or browser detection with JavaScript.
Even still, if they're using javascript to decode the HTML, they're not really protecting themselves. Your app can just run their javascript and still work perfectly.

That's awesome, I didn't know about that one. Thanks!!
LOL. Got it, thanks for clarification! FWIW I really like Openfire. Except for the memory footprint but that's due to its Java implementation...
Anyone know if / how this affects Time Warner business Class? Could that be a way around these restrictions? (Then again, what is the price of TWCBC?)
But she comes back!!!! (Not that I care, it's a minor distraction and pretty funny)

Have you ever watched the show? I think you missed the humor if you have...
Especially if they're EXT3rnal...

That's a better link than mine.

Yeah, salt water can be very tough on the components, I would suspect!
Like this?
No so much when as where? "Certainly not in my backyard! What an eyesore..."

But you're not reverse engineering. They're sending you their code, you're just running it!

Posting something to /. on 4/1 spoils the joke :-)
Oh come on! Where's your sense of humor? A nice bit of levity goes a long way.
