...and as a corporation, they have to sustain themselves. In order to fund this 'free' service, they must display advertisements. This really isn't all that complicated. When Microsoft started using their protocol, users wouldn't be seeing AOL ads - they would be seeing MS ads. When users start using Jabber, they see no ads, as opposed to AOL's ads.
As such, I would strongly suggest that if Jabber and company offer to display AOL ads. I mean, I honestly think it's only fair since you're using their bandwidth, their server power, and their support staff. It really is pretty much a free ride right now...
Until you can convince their double-digit million member base to move off of AOL, you'll probably be using AOL to talk to your non-geek friends. Of course, that implies you have non-geek friends...
Then again, maybe CmdrTaco and Cliff won't need it after all.;)

Really? That's news to me. I'm using NT4 with Service Pack 6a without a hitch. Perhaps it's just you.

Just keep in mind that UCSC joined UC Riverside in being the two UCs that accepted 100% of UC qualified students. That doesn't say much about UCSC's requirements for entry.
I'm an abovenet customer and currently have NO PROBLEM contacting those websites. Here's a traceroute from within abovenet if you care to see. I only remove the first hop so I don't give away too much about myself.

UCSB (University of California at Santa Barbara) has a university funded note taking service called "AS Note Taking Service" (AS standing for Associated Students). It's $25/quarter for a subscription or $4/ea for notes for a single day. I know a few people who subscribe to it, but that's it. The point is that the university supports AS, which supports this note taking service.
Next time please read the webpage - This is for the ResNet feed only. The school is connected to CalREN2 by way of an OC-12, with a backup DS3 to UUnet (aka Alternet)
I really wish they would ban napster on my campus (UCSB). Sure it's a UC, and sure they encourage freedom, but sorry, it's sopping up network bandwith like there's no tommorow. Do you not believe me? Check out the UCSB ResNet bandwidth stats. It's painful to look at. That's right, the network is redlined for most of the day, except between (usually) 2am and 9am. I mean, I can't even webbrowse at 11am because that's when all the kids wake up to go "napster" their favorite songs before lunch, literally bringing the network to a crawl.
From what I understand, most UC schools get their resnet internet access either at discount with help from the state, or for free. I serious do not think this is a valid use of my (and "our" for those of you living in California) tax dollars. Why should I be paying for someone else to napster the network to death? Sheesh.
I would really be interested in your counter opinions or support... That's right... Press that reply button.:)
Sharky was asking for DVI output greater than 1600x1200. I'm sorry, but there doesn't exist a TMDS chip that can do it yet. The best that Silicon Image has been able to produce is a 1600x1200 chip - and even then, there are only two or three cards that have it. The reason is cause there really just aren't any monitors out there that support it. There is a Viewsonic monitor that "sort of" does it, but not really. It cheats by taking 1600x1200 data and scaling it to 1280x1024 - that monitors native resolution. There are two other manafacturers - Apple and SGI - both making "large" LCDs, but those aren't quite up to snuff. While standard PCs use 1600x1200, Apple and SGI are both manafacturing LCD monitors that are digital using 1600x1024. Yes, there are different applications for this, but are useless in that there aren't any standard chipsets to support this. *shrug* Sharky can keep wishing for >1600x1200, but you better have some monitors that can support it.
LinuxPlanet has a step-by-step ipchains installation map at http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/1241/1/. It's designed for those people who want multiple machines on a single internet connection, but it talks somewhat about securing the connection and using ip masquerading.
This was released at Comdex of 1998. It's been out for a LONG time. It's been on VAIOdirect for over 9 months now. I wonder how long THIS story has been in the queue...
This is probably due to the fact that high end financial industries have to provide technical support. This about this. It's MUCH easier to train all their tech support agents in Windows and Mac operations rather than in Windows, Mac, AIX, Solaris, Linux, etc. If someone is using AIX and calls in for technical support, how do you think that customer would feel if CitiBank says 'nope, sorry, I can't help you. I havn't been trained.'
Don't get me wrong - don't think this is a case of "let's cut down on expenses and only train our employees in Windows and Mac." It's a simple fact that it's very hard to support 3, 4, 6, 10+ OSs. So yeah, a good design idea is on the 'we don't support your os' page is to put a note to say that you may continue with other OSs, but without technical support. Simple as that.
Apparently the GIFs on the website are rather hard to read..... for those that enjoy reading patents (you know who you are!) can check out read the full patent (in pdf nonetheless) at this URL.
I think i'm allowed to post this... If not then... hmm... i'm sure someone will email me. =)
Well that's interesting.... it seems as if this might be caused by Microsoft Passport. After all, since Microsoft Passport is Microsoft's new 'tool' for getting into websites without reauthenticating, they had to have some FUD to promote it..... Take a look here to see the MS FUD on "Passport Security".

See here. for the Sun Ray series of products. I've used them before -- they're really quite nice.

QuickTime is fully functional on Windows, with Sorrenson codec. It's also fully functional on *NIX as well, probably Linux specific.

Please moderate this up - he makes a very valid, and important point.

FYI, on the webpage, it says they're currently working on Step 4. Also note that Step 4 target completion date was 1Q 98. Nice standardization, Bill.
