HP is grooming for a buy out. Dropping human capital liabilities and cutting up operational units. This is one ship thats on the auction block! Watch what they do to the Q3 statements... by Christmass its for sale. And remember, you first heard about it on/.!!
I know that thanks to people surfing the web at the office, it's a lot more quiet than it used to be and people smoke less.
These are also advantages that employers should understand. My productivity gets better when my office is quiet, I am to low level to get my own office so lets keep people shut up! If someone is gonna slack for the sake of slacking, internet makes no difference, the slackers used to fuck around with printers and copiers or yap about their kids etc... Those of us who do get things done are generally information soakers anyway and the internet provides our midns with something different from our work, like a breather.
If the population of employees that surf the web at work have cost companies XXX$ then it probably has more to do with poor recruitment and management then the internet.
I think that even if you are going to use the recovery cd, you have a problem... Lets say you have a two year old pc with the original windows recovery cd from the manufacturer. You "nuke" the drive and reinstall. How long does it take you to get all the patches and updates downloaded? right.. Strike! Whilst updating the box after a vanilla install, you get infected.... What surprises me in this article however, is that the Knoppix cure is not mentioned. I have distributed more copies of Knoppix to colleagues (for their home computers) than I can shake a stick at! I think that about 60-70% of my colleagues have malware and of this group more than half is running Knoppix or Ubuntu to satisfy their daily internet needs.
I would agree that it is a dangerous pastime. Do not underestimate the organized crime behind this. Before you know it, some big unfriendly dude is standing next to your car, and he ain't got a fish on his head.
Ok, if you spend your 9 and a half hours watching tv, that is your prerogative. Personally, I'll go surfing if there's anything remotely looking like swell. Failing that, i'll jump on my mountain bike.
And if I ain't in the mood for any of that I will probably give my girlfriend some quality time..
Nah, we don't all live like troglodites under PSU's and server casings..
Not only that, considering the time and effort he put into this, it probably cost more than buying appropriate hardware. If you are going to custom build then it should be for performance reasons. A 600 buck 1u server won't have a powerful cpu but heck, at 600 bucks you can have two for the price of one home built (if you factor in labour and parts)
I would love to have rack machines at home for the geek factor but then again, my dsl line is not sufficient for proper hosting, it is cheaper the way I have it now is one shared box with two buddies in a colo rack with a real connection.
As a matter of fact, our host is quite competitive and he's a laid back kinda guy. Even if you are located in a different country you may find him interesting. www.vksis.net . We only use him for colo as his virtual servers are not really competitive. But 59 euro for 2u hosting is a decent deal. We currently have one box with two ips but we are considering putting two 1u's in the spot as the prices for 1u's have come down considerably.
Wow, the comission seems to be in good shape after the whooping the Parliament gave them...
I hope they find a framework in which the money does go to the artist. As for small artists now I would suggest signing up with magnatune.com, they aren't evil...
Well I thought Apple had OSX running native since day one... it's as slow as thick *bleep*.. of course rosetta just slows things down even more..
Also, what of applications that use altivec? This will non trivial re-engineer...
Why on earth would you wait for apple?
1. Running a prodction webserver on OSX is a bit overkill as any linux box will do fine..
2. Apache is a source code distribution, you can compile it on OSX anyway
3. Apple standard uses 1.3..
Anyway, Apple will continue to use PowerPC chips for a long time. The intel transition is not going as hoped and you can simply forget about comparing the performance of these new IBM chips to anything Intel has in the lineup. Just ask anyone with a dual G5 and a developer-box, why heck on some things my iBook is faster than the mactel dev box!!
This is a bit funny eh? You send in something new and shiny and it gets *bzzzzt* rejected.. yet dupes are in flavour.. gee maybe we should submit dupes?
This is so ridiculous and shows how little the law know about computers..
In my area there are loads of wlans which allow outside access. This doesn't mean they allow you on their network, they simply provide a service, dhcp, for anything that isn't on their acl. Many places don't mind roaming users, the government in Holland is activly promoting the public use of wlan! Of course if the network is "closed" with a password, the law is clear and says don't go there, if you do then you are committing an offense.
So it's linux bashing season.. big deal. I have Macs and I have been running Linux for over 5 years, desk, rack and laptop. Most of the linux-on-mac folks don't know their tits from their arse (*) so I hardly see how a slash-tit author has any authority to rant about linux.
Get some real geeks and then we'l talk.
(*) if they DID, maybe linux on a mac would actually work properly! Just scroll throught the linux-PPC maillists for any major distro and you may notice the level of posting equates roughly to the "going postal" section on attrition.org!!!
LOL!
Shashimi vs sushi in an Amiga vs. the world thread!!!
I'll go for the Shashimi Moriawase and finish up with a Toro Maki Roll please! Side order of Soba and pickles...
Dang, it's lunch time here, I am hungry and the sushi bar is ten minutes drive.. seee ya wouldn't wannna beeya!!
achaa! Thanks for the tip! I am just wondering whether the linux boot image will try to mount the root partition on the fw drive before it has loaded the fw driver...
only one way to find out!

Without a doubt it is a Not Invented Here Syndrome, in addition to a "we don't own the patent" disorder.
OpenFirmware is clearly a better alternative but it reeks of IBM and that scares most of the companies mentioned..

Last time I took a look at Visual Studio I was under the impression it had more to with KFC...

Hire dingbats, get dingbat poo....
No shit eh! So the dang thing is made of cheese!!
On a more serious note, does anyone know of any images taken of the moon showing landers on the surface?

It's actually on the rise.

Thats quite funny because I have seen a number of ATM's in EU (notably ABNAMRO) which have had Windows NT error message dialogs and indeed BSOD's!
I'll put my money on Apple flip-flopping at wwdc june 2006

So maybe it is a guideline to hobby C coders, new learners, anyone who doesn't use C as professional??
I think there is a target audience, perhaps you don't fall in the category but that doesn't mean that everyone who dabbles with C is Uber-Geek..

They've changed the name btw.. because it is difficult to say exactly where it is at the moment, they've renamed it Foghorn(tm)....
As if Apple was the main PPC integrator?
