I really like the fact that their website, http://www.lakeheadu.ca/ seems to be promoting the use of technology in the great outdoors, really. Everyone i know uses their laptop outside at sunset. The lack of internet makes it all the more enjoyable. http://www.lakeheadu.ca/images/hp/ts3.jpg
I would be more than ready to drop 300$ on OS X for x86!I've been saying so for months.
But, honestly, i don't think it will ever happen. Why you ask? Although it really sucks that apple sell hardware monopolistically, it's one of their greatest advantages. Why? well since they don't offer that much hardware, they don't have to bother with all the support. Do you think microsoft appreciates having to support all those stupid OEM devices whose drivers only differentiate on a couple bytes? Hell no. I'm sure microsoft wet dreams about controlling the hardware market as well. Well, more tightly than it already does so it only has to spend minimum amounts on hardware support.
Apple being a small company, cannot put forth all the ressources to support the amounts of hardware there's available for PC. Selling OS X for x86 would force them to, and i don;t think Apple is courageous enough to risk that.
It's a shame, because, i really would buy OS X for PC, and i'd even give them tip.
I wonder how the hell SCO could have found IBM INTERNAL emails/memos.
"Hey Sam, it's Darl, you mind forwarding me the companies email for the past 10 years? Oh and while you're at it, have a guy sort out all the post it notes from the trash and forward those to us as well. Thanks. Tah Tah"
Im in a deep state of wonder.
I see no sources of income from skype. No ads of the website. no ads within the UI, apparently.
Yet, Skype Inc is HIRING!
Unless they're offshoring and don't pay much, i cant see how spending a lump on something which does NOT generate revenue can be attractive.
They COULD be extremely rich and generous, but i doubt it.
What are they're incentives to offer the skype service for "free".
Oh, i forgot, getting slashdotted generates millions.
"I would like to see what the NSA and friends could throw at my network"
One could suppose the poster has skills in security, and is somewhat proud about it.

"into any Windows box:)"
What was the topic implying ?
that everyone running netfilter, or any gpl'ed code for that matter, has to redistribute source code?
sounds like a bitterly stupid, disorganized attempt to "replicate" bittorrent, without the whole clients uploading ordeal.
"Janus is the Roman god of doorways, gates, passages, preventing people from copying music, etc."
haha, i think "Kerberos" would have been somuch more accurate.
"three-headed dog that guarded the gates of Hell"
Bill Nye the Science Guy did something like that.
I don't know how large UK is (in driving hours), but Bill Nye made a model that put pluton about 8 hours away, presumably at 60 miles an hour.
I wouldn't go that way.
Hire your girlfriend if you want, but i highly advise against hiring people too close to you on a "permanent" basis. Hire them if you need the help now, but you should be looking for a a replacement.
My parents owned a restaurant for about 20 years. These past 3 years have been filled with BS i would have gone without. FInding out their alcoholics, loosing the retaurant because of lacking care due to marital issues, the marriage going down the drain, the dad finding a "girlfriend", the mother goign nuts and pill popping while drinking, my house burning down etc etc.
It may be an extreme unfortune in my case, so take it as such. But i still advise you against hiring loved ones.
Can someone explain why the hell something would smell different when it's in a different light/dark cycle ???
Smell is particules of the matter you're smelling that reach your nose. Smelling dog shit is having some dog shit in your nose.
Why would matter change because it's subjected to different light cycles???
sometimes i sleep 18 hours and stay up for 30 (lasts about a week)... why doesnt my nose fuck up?
Wow!
Starting from 27 000 (that's twenty seven thousand) dollars, you can own a GPL infringing set of linux machines with one that has a number of discs on a hot swapable array.
I was only speculating there.
But seriously. I certainly WONT pay my yearly salary (BEFORE taxes!) to have a nice looking dvd ripping machine.
I'm satisfied with my trusty p2 running samba with a 160 gb drive filled.
nonetheless, i'm sure there could be a couple interesting hacks done with that system.
I wonder where SCO fits in all this, wether they counted it in the "Linux" category, or otherwise.
On a more serious note, these whole tests all suffer the same problem, widespread use does make all the craze about new exploits and such. Having less than 2% of servers running on OS X does kind of limit the amount of time one wants to try and crack it, since the person can`t use the knowledge as much.
Mod me down, i`ve basically repeated what 10 other guys said.
for about 60$ canadian, you will find 'garage type' metal racks...
they're 6' high, 3' wide and 1.5' deep.
and have 5 shelves (you can set the height)...
i currently use the bottom shelf for 4 PCs... nice fit... 5 shelves = 20 boxes:P
you could even drill holes in a corner of each shelf to squeeze your cat5 and wires through... and you can easily organize the wires with zip ties (pass them through holes in the structure)
while you're at it... you could get some ply wood and make a complete enclosure and add those bathroom fans they talked about.
for 60$, ya cant really go wrong. hell i even have 2! they're avail at any renovation center (got mine at the building box)
cheers
"A website to be launched later in 2003 will allow people to post information about the activities of government organisations, officials and the judiciary."
so, basically a forum?
Why do they need to distribute content?
whats the legal threat?
"Postings are the responsibility of the poster"
or
"we do not claim what we say to be true"
why go out of their ways to distribute files that, IMHO, correspond to free speech ???
they have the right to post that stuff.
if you ask me, its just a way to disguise a technical project.

What other products are available for VoIP with decent quality, AND encryption? And free beer of course, free speech is a big plus. ?
