They have a feel similar to the IBM Model M, and are completely reprogrammable IN the keyboard. No software.
Also, it has the F1-F12 keys at the top and a second set of F1-F10 keys at the side (like the old XT keyboard layout), which I assume you could reprogram to whatever functions you wanted.
The cursor keys are arranged like the ones in the numeric keypad but with a space in the middle, in the space where the regular inverted-T shape keys are. It takes a little getting used to, but it is nice since it has diagonal keys on it.
As for losing stuff...keep it on the desk? I mean...really. Do you worry about losing your CDs or your palm pilot? No difference compared to any other device thats not wired in place; except its much easier to rearrange wireless devices into a new configuration.
No, no problems at all with that.
By the way, does anyone know what I did with my Slackware 9.1 install CD?
Oh, and has anyone seen my Palm? I copied the docs to it!
Must be a mistake, considering that one would think that RIAA has no reach outside of the US and would leave this to CRIA.. (Canadian Recording Industry Association)
I would assume that there would be a wireless "modem" that would connect to your outdoor antenna (For the wireless signal) and to any old NIC via an Ethernet jack.
The point is that in Nowheresville there is no infrastructure in place for broadband and noone can be buggered to put it in to service a very few people.
With wireless, you can blast the signal out to a >10km range for very little cost.
Agreed.. the NewsForge ads advertising current articles are the ones that get me all the time -- I routinely click them to because the linked to story soulds interesting.
I would NEVER, EVER click a "YOUR COMPUTER IS BROADCASTING AN IP ADDRESS!" or "YOU HAVE WON!!!" type banner ad.
Since I am on such a connection (only 31.2kbps, and broadband is not available), would I have to wait ~30 seconds for it to buffer, then sit through a 30 second advert that skips and jerks along because my connection is slow?
This seems like a highly unpratical thing..
Also, I'd be concerned if I were a user of an ISP with rediculous caps like DirecPC.. visiting a few of these websites a day could sap your bandwidth in no time at all.
Actually (and I don't have an exact link to the regulation) American regulations by the FCC require any message to be at least 2 frames. French regulations are appearantly tougher.
Habeus provides a haiku for individuals and businesses (on contract) to use to send legitimate e-mail. SpamAssassin and other programs will use it to flag the e-mail as likely not spam.
If spammers start using the Habeus haiku, Habeus will sue them. No more spam from the spammers.
Writing your own won't do anything; the spam filters check for Habeus' haiku.
We just got a new law up here that makes it a legal requirement for businesses to notify you of EXACTLY what they are doing with your data, and forbid them from doing anything else without your permission.
It sounds like such a law could be useful for you Americans right now..
I had to sit through other equally useless presentations, like how html code needs to be designed so it's compatible in lynx in order for libraries and poor people who can only afford 386 computers can surf the Internet. (I shit you not!)
Well, if you code it right (XHTML + CSS) it will work just fine in Lynx, anyway.
Besides, hardcore CLI junkies are probably going to use links now, anyway (I do).
MPEG (as in the video file standard) and VideoCDs use MPEG-1 Layer I audio, SVCD uses MPEG-1 Layer II Audio, and MPEG-2 files or DVD uses MPEG-1 Layer III Audio.
So they were in common use.. Just the audio stream was not common though.
Bottom line is, there should be no way for patient data to "escape" from the networks of a healthcare provider. THis includes machines with no removable storage (yes, I'm serious)...
Meaning, thin-clients, right?
I actually think that is a good idea.. prevents data leaks and makes administration FAR easier, reduces cost too..
I think you missed the point the parent was making -- if I was distributing, say, Mandrake Linux 9.2 on computers I sold at my fictitious computer store, I could update a batch of them like this:
And it's done. If you want to collect all of the Microsoft patches together, well, you can't. They don't make them available on their FTP server; you have to wade through individual security bulletins to find each patch.

An article about the AnyKey.
No, no problems at all with that.

I reccommend Alan, which is very easy to use.

It's called shock therapy..

And I doubt they'd get away with it if they had to get legal permission - it would make a huge stink..
You'll find it is EXACTLY the same as the one in Windows 3.1 -- down to the fileselector that does not support UNC paths.
It sounds like such a law could be useful for you Americans right now..
You are correct that it does not support mpeg 1 layer III audio. It is Layer II. However, I think you meen AC3 and not ACC.

Hasn't this bene what 'hacker gatherings' (whether through BBSes or physical conventions) always been?

Opera can restore all your tabs if it crashes..
(on machine with CD burner)
wget ftp://ftp.mandrake.com/pub/mandrake/linux/9.2/i386 /updates/*.rpm
then burn it, go to the other machines and do:
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
And it's done. If you want to collect all of the Microsoft patches together, well, you can't. They don't make them available on their FTP server; you have to wade through individual security bulletins to find each patch.
What I meant was drop to a command line and run the 'ver' command, you'll get basically the same output.
Turn on the classic theme in Mozilla/Netscape 6+ -- it's virtually identical to the 'old' look Netscape.
Huh? They left Microsoft products because MS EOL's them too soon? Microsoft is only now cutting off NT 4 support -- it's 7-8 years old!
