A trojan would be TOS-wrapped, or be a website like "yahoogamez.com". I would consider some spyware to be viruses, except instead of infecting the first.EXE it hits when run, it tries to infect every computer that hits the site it's hosted on via exploits.
A banner or popup on an otherwise legit site that brings spyware without requiring user intervention would mean that the site's ad supplier was "infected" with the viral spyware (for example, a banner here LOOKS like a Google AdSense ad, but is silently infecting your Windows box, would mean that/. is not grabbing ads from the AdSense server, but another server, or that AdSense itself is compromised), and spread it to the client.
Actually, I think that the section of the DMCA that they're using to get filesharer addresses could get us spyware creators' addresses - after all, they're getting SOMETHING from us, so they might have violated our copyrights;-)
Yes, I know, abolish the DMCA when we're getting sued, but use it when malware companies are attacking PCs...
You could say that your Internet browsing patterns, or things you entered into forms, were copyrighted (say that you were attempting to create a geographic art form by traveling the Internet, and use that as the thing that they broke copyright on), and get them with 512(h) of the DMCA (all you need is a "good faith belief that someone violated your copyright", after all)...
Actually, I'm running 10.0 Community. I BitTorrented it over a nice fat 2.5Mb/500Kb cable pipe, but I never got around to downloading 10.0 Official. Besides, my 4.3GB dedicated/home HDD would hate me for ANOTHER 2GB download (and I've got other ISOs in there, so it wouldn't fit w/o deleting 10.0 Community's ISOs).
I think the phone is this. It came with a warning that it shouldn't be near a PC. I thought it meant something like not near a WiFi base station. Well, when I used it near one, the static was REALLY bad - even when the computer had no component running anywhere near 2.4GHz (466MHz Celeron, 66MHz FSB (which means 66MHz RAM), 33MHz PCI bus).
It's free for the phone itself, and it can even be cheaper to get one of those over a "802.11 friendly" 2.4GHz cordless phone plus local+long distance phone service if you don't have dial-up, DSL, TiVo, or DirectTV. And, it's (IIRC) 1.9GHz, so you're safe there.
Oh, and something you should know if you're using it as a modem - When we got our Vision phone, we asked about it, and the salesperson said that you can find cables to do it online, but if Sprint ever calls and asks whether you've been using the phone as a modem, and you say yes, your phone and account is blacklisted from Vision forever. Say no, and you're safe. Just something you should know...
I found this auction for a data cable for it, and it said it would work with Linux. BTW, what are you using the data cable for? Contact transfer, or internet access? Seeing as the A660 ISN'T a camera phone, it wouldn't be that...
No, they shouldn't. You mentioned a PDA you can update the CPU on. Well, what if ATI releases the Imageon XXXX XT PE, and I only have an ATI Imageon X000 Pro soldered on?
Well, I suspect it.slashdot.org and linux.slashdot.org were meant to cover stories that didn't fit in apache, apple, ask, books, bsd, developers, games, interviews, science, or yro. This way, they COULD make sure everything HAD a section, and they could make something not front page worthy, but not fitting in one of those categories, fit somewhere. IT is the generic category now, instead of Articles (which IS the front page).
The problem with using a BX with that CPU is that it'd be OC'ed, and very few boards have a 1/4 divider on the PCI bus, and NO board has a 1/4 divider on AGP.
Same here - I used an Apple//c with a shorted out keyboard, and later did move on to a 386. The//c was REALLY fun to type on, as some keys didn't want to register, but most registered multiple times(!) which made touch typing programs freak out. I couldn't learn the home key method with software - I simply learned by typing A LOT. I soon found I hit 30wpm with only an occasional glance at the kb (an Apple//c kb is REALLY fun if you're used to PC kbs, because the home key bumps are on d and k, not f and j). I'm now doing ~50WPM with about ~45-48 corrected WPM (keyboard shortcuts are my problem when switching between IE (waiting for Opera to download on a Winbox), Opera, and occasionally Firefox).
(Blatant plug for Apple II Oasis, IMO the best A2 emu except for two fatal flaws - doesn't run in Wine, and it's shareware)
A2O also does this, except it connects to a real Apple II, not a Disk II, and it transfers disk images via serial. It's actually sold as an emulation environment to migrate from Apple IIs to PCs.
Quite a lot, and viably too. However, the REAL question is: how many Pentium 4's does it take to emulate a PowerPC at a usable speed, with and without Altivec (G4 and G3 emulation)? PearPC appears to get about a 75MHz G3 equivalent speed on an A64 3200+. NOT good at all.
I'm looking for cheap AND reliable. I'd even take a lot less clock speed for the same price if it were more reliable. However, I'm looking at the Averatec 3220H1 (I considered an IBM R51, but too much $ for me, and the Medion MD42100, well, I don't like that there are no reviews because the German version is a Celeron laptop, not a Centrino). If anyone's had problems with it, tell me now.
BTW, I've loved my Minolta PagePro 1250W (and I now know that there are Linux drivers for it, so no more hook-it-to-a-windows-box-and-use-an-ugly-ghostscri pt-via-redmon-hack-plus-samba), so I tried a Minolta magicolor 2300DL. MAJOR QC issues on mine:-( (but nice print quality when it worked - I tried some photos). Read my journal for more.
Something tells me he wanted his sig to be seen by ACs, and he forgot to turn it off. This is why SCO-bombing in your sig doesn't work, as Google is an AC.
Not that the Unichrome offers that good hardware acceleration anyway - I've seen a 466MHz Celeron on an i810 murder a 2.0GHz Celeron on some VIA chipset with ProSavage graphics (aka Unichrome), 256MB of RAM on both, PC133 on one, DDR266 (IIRC) on the other.
I'll be running Mandrake, which reports for it were "everything but WiFi and the modem worked, and you'll need to update ndiswrapper". Big deal on the modem - if I really need one, I'll find a PC card modem...
IT WASN'T. I grabbed the second mobo out of an identical system that my school had on the way to the dumpster for some reason that I forget (obsolescence?)
Cost of ink cartridges are a reason why I wouldn't buy HP.
1. Call IBM, don't order off their site. They'll configure it in MANY more ways (or so I've heard - I'll call if I decide to get an IBM, but I'm leaning towards an Averatec laptop on price). 2. Hmm... I'll admit, I've had problems with this with SuSE 8.2 FTP on a Dell Inshiteron 1100 (not mine, my school's). 3. I never got the RTL8180 card to work on SuSE. I knew I had to recompile my kernel to do so, and if I didn't, it'd try to use 8139too(!) 4. All I know on this is that SuSE didn't support my card... 5. I didn't have a SpeedStep CPU, so that didn't apply to me...

Not to kill your point, but Actiontec has a 2-user 56K modem that swaps the WAN port for a 56K modem.

Isn't sound quality better on the 2.4s, but range much shorter?
(greater bandwidth, but shorter signal distance at higher frequency, right?)
Here's an 802.11 friendly phone.
It's free for the phone itself, and it can even be cheaper to get one of those over a "802.11 friendly" 2.4GHz cordless phone plus local+long distance phone service if you don't have dial-up, DSL, TiVo, or DirectTV. And, it's (IIRC) 1.9GHz, so you're safe there.

Try SPH-A660. That's the REAL model number.
I found this auction for a data cable for it, and it said it would work with Linux. BTW, what are you using the data cable for? Contact transfer, or internet access? Seeing as the A660 ISN'T a camera phone, it wouldn't be that...

Also, they can convert a bus into a hybrid using an Allison hybrid transmission.
Diesels flopped HORRIBLY in small cars over here, and there's a lot more demand for SUVs here.
The problem with using a BX with that CPU is that it'd be OC'ed, and very few boards have a 1/4 divider on the PCI bus, and NO board has a 1/4 divider on AGP.

Figure out how to install ipw2200, and you've got that down to the DVD+RW.
