My question is how many geeks here are old enough to know Voltron? My second question would be is who would win Voltron or any one of the Power Ranger Ripoffs? My third question is can I use that supercluster to boost my folding@home scores???
EPA estimates are so screwed up as to be outdaed and nearly useless. Under realistic situations, where normal highway is 65mph EPA has you only going 55mph. Lowerng your MPG several places. The City doesn't get any better because it factors a stop light every mile or so, instead of every 1/4 mile.
I thought slashdot reviewed that the EPA was going to change it's rating systems but I could be wrong.
My normal to get max MPG out of your car go 55 mph on a highway run of about 100 miles, and then go back at normal speed. You will notice the difference in gas used.
I prefer taking the back roads to get to my mothers house as i can only travel at 60mph, it takes ~10 minutes longer but is 20 miles shorter and I can go there and back on tank of gas.(Gas guzzeling Liberty)
Why would you want an relational database for your file system. maybe it's just me but I remember everypoint of every piece of data. My mind may use a relational system to keep everything in place, but my phyiscal world is seperated into specific locations for each object.
When I go for a file, a DVD or one of the swords I know where it will be and what it will contain. Everything has a place and everything in it's place.
If you pull all that apart, and interconnect it then it doesn't have it's place anymore. You can't be certian you actually removed the item as well. Because of the interconnections it will be possible that you may not be able to truely delete anything.
Think about Longhorn's new virus, it travels along the relations between items overwriting them but keeping the meta data the same. You will never be able to find the virus, you would literally have to follow it around your hard drive erasing files as you go. No this virus doesn't exsit, but is now a possiblity.
There are many more professors than you are giving credit for. If they are working for a University, They can update it bit by bit.
What would be nice though is an oversite body. Each college pays a small amount $100,000 per school?? For unlimited access and all access is granted inside the college system. The The colleges can raise that money by making each student pay $5 or so.
Or better yet have each College collect $5-$10 from each student and that money goes to the oversite board, that makes sure the books are updated, and not biased to location.
I haven't had to manually setupup DHCP, or the kernel module for my NIC's since I restarted using Linux 3 years ago. Each Distro does it very well. In fact even when i changed sound cards it wasn't muchharder than installing drivers, then downloading more drivers for windows.
You have to tell Windows to Run Ad-aware and norton. I don't have to on my linux box but I do on my Windows box.
I would love to know what Firefox wanted to install but google doesn't show it. Care to pass the Link? Besides That may not of been a virus, but instead a new searchbar some one was being mean in setting up. Also.xpi's can't run as root and there fore can be stopped easily.
All OS's need to be updated, probelm is Windows doesn't care if it isn't turned on and open Windows does that for you.
I know the probelm lies in unpatched unprotected machines. That is why my internal network only started to get a virus after a my roomataes laptop went outside.
I have used windows XP exactly 3 times. 2 of those three times have required a complete reinstall of the system because of bugs with n the OS itself. As for NTFS, I don't trust any file system that can't defrag itself. That list includes FAT FAT32 NTFS HFS -->Do you know whose this is?? HFS + EXT2
Their Idea of interface makes for a poor usablity experiment. The whole thing has sucked from day one.
I do give MS an A+ on consitency, as that has been greater than any other OS. The good, the bad, and the ugly
I am just sick of people defending a poor helpless monoplist. MS Can make a decent product, They just choose not to. Let's Look at Longhorn, it's 2 years away they have early alpha's and they are already trimming back the feature list. Instead of delivering a crappy product early why not spend an extra sixmonths and build it right? They had the same probelm with Win95, Apple did it with OSX.
Release a good product tomorrow instead of a bad one today.
No-royalties?? but what about patenting using XML in a word processor there surely no prior art there?
How is MS supposed to defeat Linux if it uses a royalty free license??
My other question is why?? There isn't a feature he listed that would be useful to any non-windows platform.
WinFS is just a database ontop of a dumb file system. Avalon, and XAML are going to be patented tech of MS so their use would be prohibited. Where's the benifit????
yes patches are a part of life, butunlike windwos linux patches rarely require youto reboot or drop your connection. So that you can download an upgrade one night, instead of spending the weekend in front of your machine hitting reboot every hour or so.
WinXP has some major flaws. is it any wonder why Longhorn is supposed to include a commandline worthy of the *nixs, twisted to the MS way.
Well w3m is a web browser but it runs on the command line. and even though putty doesn't support inline images, every thing else does show up nice. Even Slashdot is usable.
w3m in a terminal window shows graphics as well it's pretyy simple and easy way to surf with out hvaing pop ups.
I had to fight off a bunch of guys till the 9th grade. Then most people would talk to me only if they needed help with something. I didn't hate them but we weren't friends anyway. I did have a girlfriend all throughout high school but we met at chruch. Also since my girlfriend and I went to different schools no one believed me at my school anyway.
Each geek has there own experince. i know some didn't have any probelms,and others would get picked on even by other geeks.
That requires people to buy new items. DVD players came out what 6 years ago, and only in the past year or so has market pentration been high enough to finally displace VCR's. Consumers are only now starting to convert over. If you make them do it again, it will fail miserably. Most want to keep their electronics because they are supposed to be an investment.
How many people buy new alarm clocks just because a new feature is added? How many people have bought HDTV even though you have been able to for years How many people have just starting to put together home theater systems??
90% of america makes less than 100,000 a year. By the time you add up cars, house, kids there just isn't much left for electronics.
I have been wondering that for a long time. They won't ever be able to come near an Open Source company. As for the Closed Source ones, maybe a place full of idiots like Green Hills. Darl and company where ever they go will still be hated, and any company that brings them into their fold will be fought againist.
Piss off enough people so everybody or at least a major perctage joins a Class Action lawsuit, you can get tons more cash. Hey who says you don't get paid for being an Open Source Developer. It is also a lot harder to hide from a Class Action Lawsuit, rather than againist one enemy
The problem is they painted such a big picture that Baystar only wants that bg picture. Baystar wants SCO only to invest in IP stuff. You know the point where SCO colect $20,000 in revnue for 3.4 million in exspenses. you know where when someone actually admitted that they bought a license they were bullied and lost business.
Yes I know EV1 gained customers that quarter, then again their competitors gained even more, and EV1 had just opened a new win2k3 datacenter.
Actually I spend a lot of time at RIT in Rocheter, NY. Engineering students generally aren't normal no matter where they are from. They tend to be bright with an open enough mind to realize different ways of working.
Christianity conquered a South American when they turned 1500,is it really surprising that Islam is turning 1500 (about I forget which exact year it is) and are trying to subdue the population.
Islam like Christianity taken with a grain of salt, is good. People need something greater than themselves to have faith in. It makes all things in life easier. It is when you force that faith, and punish those that do not believe in your faith that problems, and power hungery people live.
Yes Bush is a mainac. The Power hungery people of te USA believe only in money. Even if they do not admit it, it is their God.
As for the Number of troops that have been killed Thank you for updating my numbers. You are right the VC did want it more. The people of the US don't really want to hurt people, which is why the most consider us soft.(other than the fat)We live in live and let live society, something most people in the middle east don't get.(That goes double for Iseral) The time for land expansion is ceased, yet we continue to try the old Tribal tatics of he with the most land wins.
It's time we all grew up and got along, but most people can't handle that.
My vechile is the soon to be out Ford Escape Hybrid. That way I can use Mr Fusion to bypass the gas engine when ever I want. Also the off-road is needed when travelling back to 1885.
An EV1 as no ground clearance for those old west dirt paths
boy are you a dumb shit. he have lost what 500-600 soldiers. How many tens of thousands of iraqi's have died???. the US maintains a killing ratio of hunderds of you to one of ours.
The US also put Saddam in place. Vice President George Bush did it in the 1980's.
Yes the bulk of us don't understand the middle eastern Cultures, And we are content in our perfect little worlds. If that makes you jealous that we can be happy while you die for your ignorant religion(not just Isalm)then change. Our parents fought and died to bring a generation of peace within our borders. If all Islam teaches is to be a power hungry, mentally challgened idiot than i am glad I am not Muslim.
Now the question is are you going to fight me on what Islam is, or you going to open your Eyes and change parts of it. Praying everyday is good for the soul, forcing half of your population into slavery(women)because they are dirty is not.
When congress was trying to get web radio to pay royalties, my favorite station was acting funny. So i setup a box to rip the entire library. took a week, but I got 6 gigs of music, none identical.
Now when i hit random play my radio station comes back on the air.
just for the RIAA, I have been buying the songs slowly through second stores. You won't ever see my money.
Very true. and funny. by approving more patents they get more money, to approve more patents, even if those patents are bad. No wonder why the court system is so far backloged. Congress encourages people to abuse the system, in order for the courts to fix their mistakes.
Also under my plan, you wouldn't need half the people anyway. Of course no one ever gets downsized by the goverment execpt the military and NASA.
i always thought that the Patio Set, and gas grill that we can use whenever we want would be enough. build a long Telephone line, and I can spend 2-3 hours outside for lunch if I get lucky enough.

Easier to say it this way.
Dell builds cheap shit. if it's a sheap knock off it's a Dell.
I don't even like the Ipaq, and I would take one before another Dell
I believe you can get the source, as for downloading it free that isn't part of the GPL. They can charge you from them to send you a CD.(OR 2)
Also they only have to give the source to their customers upon demand.
Tech world according to netcraft run MS IIS5.0
Techworld also is the main supporter for linuxinsider.com which also seems to be a false news site.
Boston?? the actual city of Boston is a tad smaller than that.
Patching works wonders for all systems
MS allows open ports and worms to get through with out much probelms. There hasn't been a major *nix worm since 1988. MS gets one every 3-6 months.
yes patches are a part of life, butunlike windwos linux patches rarely require youto reboot or drop your connection. So that you can download an upgrade one night, instead of spending the weekend in front of your machine hitting reboot every hour or so.

Actaully we can get one better.
Class Action Lawsuits
Piss off enough people so everybody or at least a major perctage joins a Class Action lawsuit, you can get tons more cash. Hey who says you don't get paid for being an Open Source Developer. It is also a lot harder to hide from a Class Action Lawsuit, rather than againist one enemy
The problem is they painted such a big picture that Baystar only wants that bg picture. Baystar wants SCO only to invest in IP stuff.

When congress was trying to get web radio to pay royalties, my favorite station was acting funny. So i setup a box to rip the entire library. took a week, but I got 6 gigs of music, none identical.

just for the RIAA, I have been buying the songs slowly through second stores. You won't ever see my money.
