Or, it could be because installing ATI drivers (for those of you out there who've done it know this) is an absolute pain in the ass on Ubuntu.
What's so difficult about:
% sh./ati-driver-installer-8.33.6-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/6.10 % dpkg -i *deb Maybe the fact that the 3-d drivers don't work. I wish ATI would make a real commitment to Linux and produce drivers that work at least as well as their XP drivers.
It's about time. How many audio and video websites that have gone tits-up has Yahoo been financially involved in? I'll be glad to see the end of DRM and I'm sure they will too.
This is a silly, silly, little article. What's next? Why last years' newspaper turned yellow, Why my bananas turned black or Why the copper roof turned green.
No matter what backup software you select make sure that you spend as much time evaluating restoring as you do for evaluation of backing-up. The last thing anyone needs to hear is, "Sorry, but I can't find your file. The backups are bad."
...Biting back my fervent desire to throw this mess out of a window, get a gun, and go to Redmond... Man! I know that feeling. You have my deepest sympathies.
What a bunch of FUD. I admit there is potential for some evil doings against the GPL and Suse by Microsoft. However, nothing has happened yet--or has it? So stop predicting the worst and always remember, "If you're going to San Francisco be sure to wear flowers in your hair."
Having a NSFW tag is a bad idea. The best way to accomplish this is to never surf at work if it isn't part of your job. Never! Never! Resist the temptation to click on that browser to see what's new on Slashdot and forget about peeking to see the latest video on YouTube.
If you do this, the next time your PHB is looking over your shoulder you can turn to him or her and say, "I'm almost done with X and then we start work on Y."
... I think that's more software than Robert X. Cringely has his credit, but at least Cringely is a little amusing and a little bit educational, I can't say that ESR is either... Cringely is a weirdo. He seems to think Apple is going to to play an important part in the history of computers. They'll be lucky to be a skidmark on IBM's boxers.
"...Many anti-MS fanboys complain that Vista is nothing more than XP with a new coat, but anyone with an open mind realizes this is absolutely not the case." Vista may or may not have a new coat, however, it is absolutely the case that there are even more skid marks on its soiled and tattered underwear.
Obviously Microsoft is missing these holes in Vista in house. Maybe the biggest customer for these zero-day exploits should be.. Microsoft? $50,000 isn't that much compared to the other option IMHO. Just a thought. If their source code was open, people would locate and possibly fix these exploits for free.
Where are these online auctions for this information? Or does that information come with the same spam I get hawking "3 million email addresses for $1000!" I'd love to know what software they use to host such a site. I expect it's probably more secure than the pentagon's systems. It goes without saying that it probably isn't from Redmond. Sorry! I meant to say. "It goes without saying that the secure system probably isn't from Redmond."
...It was an excellent middle ground between where DOS/Win3.x was and where NT was going, permitting nearly 100% backward compatibility while stabilizing the platform.... It was not stable enough. Any misbehaving DOS program or any buggy Win32 program being developed would bring Win 95 down faster then a two-dollar whore.
Daniel Eran has been spamming uk.comp.sys.mac for weeks now, ignoring every polite request for him to stop. How do you know it is Mr. Eran posting those messages?
I'm curious as to whether selling such an exploit would be allowed on Ebay.A++++++++ WOULD BUY AGAIN, OWNED OVER 50,000 noobs! I doubt it. They do not allow anything that could possibly hurt another person: weapons, Nazi memorabilia, even guides to make weapons, bombs or fireworks are verboten.
'I think the malware industry is making more money than the anti-malware industry,' Genes said.
Malware is a profit-making industry. Anti-malware is aimed at eliminating profits... Tell that to the twenty or so anti-virus companies that exist. There is some concern about viruses being written indirectly by the anti-virus folks to keep the money coming in. There is no proof for such a conspiracy. Everyone seems to blame the Russian Mafia or simply Organized Crime.

Don't bother looking if you're on Linux. The ILM page sent me to Adobe to get Flash, but even the newest version of Flash offered for Linux does not satisfy the requirements of the ILM page. The Linux beta of version 9 is available from: http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/
Thats not good. Now those lost emails are floating around aimlessly in cyber-spaces. Any computer hacker with a set of cyber-virtual-reality-gloves and visor who happens upon these emails in the cyber-spaces can just grab them for his own. This is going to be a big issue for identity theft.
Earthlink should form a cyber-sweep-team to travel through cyber-space to try and find all these emails. If they can find where they broke free from the earthlink cyber-pipe, hopefully they can find most of the lost emails... if they havent drifted too far yet. I guess that depends on the pressure in Earthlink's cyber-piping. If the pressure is high the exit velocity of the data would be high as well and as such, the emails would be flying through cyber-space at an incredible rate of speed towards cyber-infinity. You should submit that to some movie studios. It sounds like a decent plot for the acting skills of Tom Cruise.
"...Concern about electricity pricing and volatility has led Microsoft to talk with its network manufacturers about building more efficient servers...." I have heard that electricity is cheap in India and so are trained network administrators.

I wonder if the foundation would consider donating to a few impoverished open source organizations?

This is a rather lame topic. "What's Hidden Under Greenland's Ice?" At least as lame as, "What's Hidden Under a Scotsman's Kilt?"
