I have an NEC 4x4 CD changer for PC. It has a standard IDE connector but at some point it stopped working for me -- it wouldn't stop trying to move the trays inside after being powered up. I assume something got caught somewhere, or one of the springs let go. I gave it a look and couldn't bring it back to health. It worked wonderfully for years for me (quad speed, 4 cds).
I'd send it to you for shipping costs if you wanted to work on it.
Newton's experiments don't prove an old earth either. Considering modern realisations about carbon dating (its not accurate -- you need surrounding evidence to substantiate the possible dates) and the fact that we've basically created a circular argument (we must have evolved, evolution takes a long time, the earth is very old, that's time to evolve, we must have evolved... ), the teachings of modern evolution theory really need to be revisited.
The only people who see a distance between Gen 1:1 and 1:2 are those who came up with some form of gap theory and needed to justify it.
1:1 looks a lot more like a chapter heading to anyone else reading it. After all, it is a book being written that didn't have the nice chapter and book headings we use now. That's the original text, and it seems the book was called "In the Beginning: God Created the Heavens and the Earth".
In verse 2, you have the beginning of the details.
note: there are two copies of the story of creation in Genesis... one with less detail, one with more -- so a summary followed by details.
It seems to me that the mentality that would try to install a kernel on a console gaming platform is the same mentality that would try to build an OS from the ground up because the others were too expensive...
... they just go together;-)
And to all those who don't understand: it makes sense to many of us.
I was almost certain I'd already read that article, and couldn't imagine why... then it occurred to me; Slashdot thinks several month old articles are news!
No, seriously, HTML was not intended for layout, and that's a good thing. Why? It was to replace Gopher to some degree -- to make linkable documents of mostly text.
When we got past that point, we should have used a new format for laid-out documents that was still delivered by HTTP (which itself sucks).
PDF is simply Adobe trying to bring PostScript back... the latter was slowly losing ground to such things as 'Word Viewer' and the like. They invented a compressed (and optionally encrypted) format to store PostScript files in and called it a Portable Document Format.
I haven't read all the responses here yet (who ever does??), but I think it seems obvious that we need a new protocol definition: TCP over UDP. Any TCP client would be able to use it, and the TCP session would be established over UDP packets. TCP as a protocol can already handle this since it is built to work over IP, another unreliable transport. UDP becomes useful, however, for doing the NAT bypassing that is mentioned in the article. The protocol back-end wouldn't need to be too long, and could be added to most Linux/BSD machines as easily as IPX over TCP is.
Unfortunately, it seems the site in question will be down for a while -- the user has hit their hard transfer limit -- if anyone has a copy of this cached, please upload it somewhere for everyone else to read.
Just because people in the US and Canada don't have many laws like this doesn't mean that it doesn't make sense for other countries. Lets have a little respect, ok people? However, the problem again comes down to how a country can both accept the Internet and apply their current laws.
Canada, for example, has very strict laws about child pornography (which are being debated right now in our Supreme Court). How do we then handle the issue of child pornography coming into the country from other countries where it is not illegal? This is perhaps a more interesting version of the question this legal argument is trying to propose...
I hadn't heard of that Caldera Graphics product; it sounds interesting, but as it appears to have been written by ESL,
I'm not sure I'm getting all the details accurately. Any Francophones out there?
As for the HURD model (which is also the design plan of Windows NT, btw), I believe Linux refers to micro kernels, message passing in particular as an excercise in "computer science masturbation" -- it feels good, but you don't get anything done.
Choices are not bad -- people whine about too many window managers, too many desktop interfaces, too many toolkits -- if you're a developer, pick one and work with them. If you want to do something totally different, do it.
If you're a user, use them all... pick one you like.
If you're a slashdotter, just whine about them all... standardisation is for some things, it is not for these things.
Microsoft didn't implement remote IMAP folders in Outlook -- it only supports 'fetch'. If they'd supported it the way they support it in Outlook Express, you'd be able to do all those cutesy things Exchange does with any IMAP server.
No, in the end, the users should get a mix of what they want and what is the 'right way' to do things. If the users want to be able to send viruses to each other, I'll stop them from doing that too.
I think you're confused between the Exchange and Outlook programs. Outlook is a mail user agent (MUA) that retrieves and sends mail (as well as having calendar apps, etc.). Exchange is a mail server that supports a variety of standards (incompletely) and tries to be all things to all people somewhat poorly.
People can use Outlook with my qmail + courier-imap E-mail systems too... but I won't run Exchange.

PS, what's wrong with just admitting "we don't know" ???

Use a Postscript plugin.

It would be nice to have an updated "Advanced Routing Howto" that includes more information on the options for and configuration of such things as:
Secure IP (FreeS/WAN)
Routing daemons (Gated, Routed, Zebra, etc.)
(Layer 2) Bridging (also with firewalling, etc.)
Port / service redirection
... except that you've inherently defined criminal activities as precluding forms of speech and expression.

Yup ... what did you need translated?
Win2k is also the perfect way to turn $3000 of hardware into a $300 WebTV.
My K6-233 with X and Mozilla renders faster than IE 5.5 on Win2k.
I for one always chmod o-rwx,u+rxs,g+rx when I want to setuid a program -- and then I set up a group of users that are allowed to use it.

Ignore reading the source code -- follow the kernel list discussions -- its about algorithms, not GCC optimisations.
