Alas, you'll not find the tools for handling RSS in your Microsoft Windows operating system. Not yet, anyway.
How bad is it to have become accostumed to the monopole of a single software??? What's wrong with having to surfe & choose the application you prefer???
Another problem is more social in nature, this license, the quibling between
XFree86 developers (the core team mess) and the lack of social finesse of
David Dawes don't really appeal for close cooperation.
...and it's really sad when this happens with an Open Source project. "Quibling" over a product of their cooperation. No winners there.
When you read this title and your first thought is about Norvig'sGeneral Problem Solver, you know that you've had enough of the CS courses and you should definitely move on...
At least here in Europe you can easily get 8Mbit for a very reasonable price)
Am I missing something??? Currently in France, I'm "suffering" with a 1Mbit connection and paying 30E/Month(cheapest available). Would you pleae define for me what price is considered "reasonable" for a 8Mbit connection???...
Oh, and if you want to bet, I galdly accept the 1-2 years for streaming HDTV @ 100/1.

"Of course unorganized, lazy, and stupid people want to hide these qualities by not having a website"
Is the most ignorant and stupid phrase I've read this month. It's *almost* like saying "unorganized, lazy, and stupid people want to hide these qualities by <put random activity here>". Tech gusy like this one are one of the reasons programmers are tought by some people to be great jackasses.... PS: And of course this is a definitely helpful argument when trying to convince someone of the advantages of a personal website...
Organized crime has always been ready to utilize new technology in the persuit of money / Power.
that it's orgranized crime we're talking about? Of course if you call 15-25 teens looking for the easy big money and thinking that in their country there'll never eb found, yes you're right. Seriously, I don't recall a DDoS attack done by a major person. Anyone has a counter-example?
You got me wrong. The dude *didn't* know it was installed. He practically installed 99% of the proposed packages.
I do run ssh on my home box and it is indeed a live saver.

If you mean the kernel - sure. If you mean open source packages distributed with Linux distributions - think again. Even the desktop orinted Linux distro's ship server daemons for SSH, or simple chat clients as BitchX....which may eventually happend to have some remoit exploit(it has already happened and will happen again). I've had a friend who has installed out of 13337-ness an ssh server on his home box. The average user is ignorant and there lays the danger;o).(it's quiet normal many people decide to give Linux a shot without realizing that they should know at least a necessary minimum before the install......) Of course that last part is completely true for the Windows users as well...

The N-Gage does not have any special hardware
Define "special hardware", please. Or better. Show me a list of the phones for 300 with a 100Mhz processor. Yes it does not have a 3d accelerator(doesn't it?), but that does not mean that it's common mobile phone power we're talking about.
Jeez??? Interesting??/. can always surprise me. Let's put it that way *dude*. Have you seen THPS on the N-Gage? No? Well, let me than tell you that it is FAR AHEAD of the current state of mobile gaming and nothing before the PSP will even get closer. As for this crack the small catch* is that the games programmed for Symbian 6 will be surely played on every phone runnning the OS, what they forget to tell you is that having the hardware to run the Os, doesn't mean you have the hardware to run the game(SonicN is a 3mb 2d-game, there're even better java games there(imagine how ugly is it). So mod the whole article as flamebait at least till the next generation of 600$ phones and then spending 600$ for a smartphone and using it is a game platform is not magnificient move, IMHO.
Oh, and to all the j2me trolls out there. The games for the N-Gage are done in C++ with the approriate SDK.
PS: As for the major flaws: Another crack that come out this week is that all the N-Gage games can now be run from a memory card(not ROM). Conclusion => the original "flow" of having to change the card each time you want to play another game is somehow fixed by the *crackers*. The biggest game I've seen for the moment is ~15 MB. 5-6 games fit pretty well on a 64Mb card don't you think???? Finally the N-Gage is a very good gaming system suffering from a restricted(if any?) game catalog and ridiculous price. I get mine for 90$ from a morron reading too many negetavie reviews, so kudos to you gyus.
I have a Toshiba Satellite 1800-100 with Ali all in Wonder chipsep=> Trident accelerator runnning Slaskware. Never had any problems setting up X, or at least problems coming from the Trident card. The only major issue was with wrong screen refresh rates detected by default, which doesn't allow to use the optimal resolution, but it can be rapidly fixed. Anyway, my point was: Sure, Trident cards should not even have the right to be called Graphic Accelerators, but hell I don't see what your problem with X11 is???? It's up and running and it feels pretty smooth.
...personal recordings are what they're after. The fact is I'm getting almost all the TV shows I can't watch in Europe(and I'm interested in) from Bittorent, and for the last 6 months 90% of them were excellent HDTV encodings. Even if it is doubtful that exactly the p2p networks are the reason for such measures, I really think that illegal distributions may be on the top of it as they prefer to deal with it now rather than later.......
t will be many years before they start to fail. Heat can be a major factor in the process of "wearing out". I have seen a practically fried K6 chips(bac at the time), from a machines which only use was 24/7 jukeboxes. Also this summer the local server at the place I work (which was a decent config with 2ghz Celeron CPU) died during a 30 heat wave and againt it was the CPU overheating. While one may argue for the first case heat was a known problem and in the second the cooling wasn't enough(although, I may assure you IT WAS), when a CPU is constantly wroking even @ 35%, it does wears out much faster than while being idle or off.....
I've been using Firebird since the 1/2 and I'm still stuck with Thunderbird 0.1. Absolutely right, that both are pretty good software. I have a question though. I'm running dual boot and on the Linux side Thunderbird loads pretty fast....... With Windows XP however I get a load time of > 15 seconds, this without any exageration. Did anoyone else experienced similar performence differences??? If yes, is ti fixed in 0.2/0.3??? (My machine is a 800mhz Coppermine with 384 Ram.)
You do realize, that a letter from Canada to China is good 15 bucks, so you're paying a good 80 for 4GB of storage when you can buy a 40GB HD for 50$????
That *IS* the problem with all the security-obscurity blabla. The guys obviously figured out that anyone will be capable of debugging their code to a level revealing the delete file packet function. Seems like they were wrong.
...and it does seem believable. Random_Nut's comments with the exploit paper were a too influenced by his personal opinion....
Anyway, ES5 has a *baaaad* name and this last exploit is by far not the only reason of it. Their claims of having zillions of users online(ever tried to use it???Well, not *exactly* true.), the chat snippet about DoS-ing bittorent sites(What kind of looser would do that???). A couple of "spammers" posting on the "concurrent" p2p tools boards..... To conclude... ES5 has never been an option for me, and even if their claims on absolute privacy are a nice dream, I prefer sticking to Klite and Bittorent experimental.
