You know...I never really understood the appeal of sports games. I was always of the mindset that if one wants to play sports, one should do so for real and not play a computer simulation of his or her sport of choice.
I'd love to play quidditch for real, but none of my brooms gets airborn... your insensitive clod!
Try to picture something like this: MS Bulletin 12345-6
"Clippy begins using innapropriate language"
Description: Instead of helping the user in fulfilling his tasks, Clippy begins to swear and to misdirect the user. Mentions of another operational systems are frequent.
THe most astonishing phrase is this: Analysis indicates files within the leaked archive are only a subset of the Windows source code, which was licensed to Mainsoft for use in the company's MainWin product. MainWin utilizes the source to create native Unix versions of Windows applications.
Mainsoft says it has incorporated millions of lines of untouched Windows code into MainWin.
Oh, and this is OH! SO MUCH MORE TRUE if you take SCO UNIX and replace it with Windows...
Really, I believe WIndows is safer.. Why? Because security holes knowledge is widespread, so it forces you to have a better security system...
1. SCO UNIX(R) is a Proven, Stable and Reliable Platform
Except it only works on a 386 2. SCO UNIX(R) is backed by a single, experienced vendor Do you mean, experience in lawsuits??? (it should read "one experienced client") 3. SCO UNIX(R) has a Committed, Well-Defined Roadmap Er... we have SCo Unix v6, then we have v7 and then, er... v8 4. SCO UNIX(R) is Secure It's sure to have a lot of bullshit attached 5. SCO UNIX(R) is Legally Unencumbered HA, HA, HA!!!
As I always say... the trick is getting the CD out of the box without opening the shrinkwrap package...

Sorry to disagree...
Java is the worse crap SUN could have pulled. The whole of it, extending interfaces, illogic class naming, having to call a trillion classes to do something..NET is usable, but Java is something horrific.
Isn't that like the cranks that linger at the sci.math forums?
That 9 year old brat, and there's another one that motivated an automated mail response: every time he sends an e-mail, another one comes to warns, basically, that he's a loony...
I'm no expert in this area at all, but by increasing the number of steps in the pipeline it may be a preliminary move to bring the Paladium/Longhorn/DRM into the chip level.
Sorry, but you aimed the duck and shot the chicken.
This has nothing to do with Palladium, rest assured...

Some of the exercies would serve as topics for a PhD thesis (and are marked as such).
Like the one that asks: Prove that there is no solution for a^n+b^n=c^n for n>2

Apple computer settled with Apple the music company (ever heard of The Beatles?)
Since they did totally different stuff, they settled AS LONG AS ONE DID NOT INTERFERE WITH THE OTHER (something that eventually happened with iTunes)
the slashdash crowd will think...
Can someone comment on the security and encryption of WMV9?
Maybe microsoft...
cat wmp9.c | grep "encryption"
"Exploit found in Clippy anyone?"

Way to go AMD. Intel is eating dust on this one...
The problem is, Intel went from an Engineering company to a marketing company. Let's just hope it doesnt became a lawsuit comapny...

WHAT?!?!!?!??
It really depends on how your bosses understand the situation.
If they're more of the PHB kind, go "Linux is Free, we don't have to pay nothing, yadda..."
Now, in the "willing category":
1 - replacing WIndows w/ Linux at workstations may be a good idea. After all, their main use is Word Porcessing and E-Mails...
2 - In the server side, there are good choices too, but then there is support...
In other news, SCO groups claims to have found SCO's intellectual property in leaked source code...
and Office complained about some access violation).
Maybe it was trying to access your bank account, cash a Windows License...
I love this...

It may be NOT that expensive. And you cut the middle man...

I thought the same thing...
How long till we have a Linux Player. Reminds me of that "other" copy protection: "We spent $10M and it can be defeated using the shift key"

Operating Systems: Design and Implementation (Second Edition)
by Andrew S. Tanenbaum, Albert S. Woodhull
Very good book... Inspired Linus to write Linux based on Minix (the free OS that comes w the book)
You may wanna check the Intel website for the 3 x86 manuals (or for the 6 manuals from AMD 64)
Ok, now I won't be able to help you (as much as you'd want, at least), but let's try...
1 - A VGA signalis actually 3 signals (RGB) + vsync and hsync signals... That's 5 very high fequency signals...
So, you have a couple of choices...
Using a software in the computer itself, to record its screen...
Using a VGA->composite adapter, ten using a standart video capture card (yeah, yeah, image sucks, but, I mean, it's your idea in the first place...)
I believe direct VGA digitizing does not exist in commercial form. Why? Because it's pretty much useless (sorry about that)
First everybody thinks that Apple is going x86...
Now we know it's Windows going PPC...
(before anyone whines that XBOX != Windows... Two words (ok three): DirectX and Kernel Functions...)
