Does the official Netscape build get the same security fixes that Mozilla gets? Or are there just 50 known ways to exploit users of the latest Netscape browser?
Sure, they can have make the media unplayable without the chip, but: If you can see and hear it, you can copy it. If you can make a raw copy of the media, you can pirate it without loss of quality, even if you can only play the copies in an SVP device.
This sort of technology has no use in preventing piracy, only in making money and killing competition. Manufacturers must license the "technology" or else they can't make devices that will play the latest media. Consumers must purchase new DVD players to replace their perfectly functioning old players (most won't, you can bet). There will be no interoperability with other devices. And PC users will simply be out of luck, unless they decide to license it for software use to companies like Microsoft, which will completely defeat the cryptographic advantages of embedding the DRM in hardware and make it as useless as DSS.
I've known _of_ employers who would offer a job but not follow through if the prospective employee was willing to dump their previous employer without notice.
So, you say you're already employed? Yes, but I'm not very fond of the work
This graph has just been bouncing wildly, like people haven't already decided who they will (or won't) vote for. I'm sure that in the end most of them will just let the media decide, then rush to the polls to pass on that decision, to give them a sense of community. Maybe vote for Bush because the president said they should.
You can rebuild a complete RHEL3 (minus the few bits of proprietary stuff I haven't noticed yet) from the public source, so long as you change the name and remove any Red Hat trademarks.
Put it on a floppy disk, then degauss the disk. People will point out your mistake of trusting your important data to a floppy, but will accept that it was a mistake. You see it in movies all the time.
The corporate world isn't geeks and freaks installing linux. You buy a whole system that includes hardware, software, and support. When the machine breaks, you don't start playing with.conf files and testing it, you call the manufacturer and they fix it, or tell you how. You wank with the machine, and it'll void your warranty.
I know, it's a long way from downloading ISO's from bittorrent. But the business world does things differently (surprise).
Oh crap. We've been downloading ISO's from bittorrent, installing it on no-os servers we bought seperately, and tuning all the.conf files ourselves. And we're not in the software business. It may look bad from some angles, but if something breaks, or doesn't fully meet our needs, we can fix it on the spot. When the licensing costs of software that may sort of meet half of your needs exceeds the costs of custom software that will fully meet all of them, the latter option starts looking pretty good. Plus this company's been bitten by that whole support thing. "Sorry we couldn't/wouldn't fix your showstopper problem. This won't stop you from renewing would it?"
If I understand correctly, a binary diff goes a few steps further than a patch. It stores insertions and deletions while a typical patch (like IPS) only stores replacements, which is optimal for files patched in a hex editor and even most database files but not for recompiled files where everything can change in location.
I like the Swing API, but I don't like the emulated Look and Feel. I like the native look and feel of SWT, but I don't like the API. The best solution for someone like me is to use SwingWT.
Looks interesting. I might try out the SwingWT + GCJ combo.
I just checked the Apple store to see if I'm still correct. In their store, I tried ordering a Mac. A couple different models actually to be certain. The only option was a one button mouse. The two button mice are in another section of their store, and must be bought seperately. So if you want a two button mouse, you essentially have to buy 2 mice, the one button mouse that came with it (which you'll either burn for heat or use to decorate your christmas tree), and the two button mouse you'll actually use with the Mac. And of course they only resell two button mice. They don't have their own. Same goes for the tiny vs full keyboards. If it's a teeny tiny keyboard or one button mouse, it's made by Apple, if it's a 2+ button mouse or full sized keyboard, it's it's not.
But it's not the mouse and keyboard that bothers me, it's that I can't find the reason for it.
I back up all of my music CD's. I've had to replace 2 so far. One was scratched beyond repair, and another shattered into a thousand pieces. We don't back up DVD's, and already many of ours skip too badly to enjoy viewing. We handle them very carefully.
And buy 10 books at $20 a piece, and 5 of them spontaneously desintegrate over the next month of ordinary use due primarily to the exceptionally cheap manufacturing methods employed, wherein it only costs the publisher 10 cents each to produce...

Rather than give you misleading advice, I'll just say "sorry, but it goes against my conscience to help out your company."
And I just bought one of their games. Now my stomach is starting to turn.

So can you start immediately?
Sure.
Sorry, can't hire you.
I bet DieBold will try to counter sue for slander of title, in order to hold onto investors while they bail out.

I'll be extradited from the US to China for violating their censorship laws.
A lot of history is distorted or made up. Wikipedia isn't the first instance of this.
I thought we had that with SDL+OpenGL.

If the DVD is warped, no longer very flat, it might (?) hit the lens. ???

No one's making you use a one-button mouse.

MS Works is more than a word processor though.
Tiny download, very fast load time, about 1/3 second for me on the first run.
You must not buy too many of either.

Try salt water. It'll fix the blinking LED problem too.
