They aren't competitors really. One is a service provider, the other is a tool. PBX's work w/ all of the normal phone companies, so I don't see why a PBX won't work w/ VOIP
The article DOES NOT state no more IE patches for 2000/NT 4.0
In a way it does. It basically says that the new version of IE will NOT be available for anything but WinXP. Therefore, any patches or fixes that are in the new version of IE will not be incorporated into the lesser IE's.
I actually don't believe in the safety, nor feasibility of flying cars. It was meant merely as a joke that circulates on/. about "where are my damn flying cars"
I've read this same exact post multiple times, and I still don't understand how having to turn it a quarter turn requires multiple picking. Any way to expand on this?
With debian, you will need to use a command line to at least get everything running. You will have to do an "apt-get gnome" initially, as well as an "apt-get synaptic". After that, you can use synaptic, but you will need to use a CLI at least in the beginning stages. It's really not hard, but nowhere as simple as say, Fedora, where the install does everything for you, and even sets up Gnome or KDE by default.
Note: I'm just using my own personal experience w/ Debian as of a year ago, and so things may have changed a little.

On my old P3 850 I went back to using Nautilus. I was using Rox for the longest time because nautilus was too slow. Then came Nautilus 2.6. I'm back using it because it is significantly faster than it used to be, and on par w/ my experiences with Rox (which was a pretty cool file manager btw). So, I will attest to the fact that spatial is way fast.
For as much as they are paying these guys, I would hope that Boies decides to make an appearance tommorrow. It is, afterall, one of the most important hearings that this case will see.
ROT-13 is a an "encryption" method that is fairly simple. You assign each letter a number. A=1, B=2, C=3.... You then take that number, add 13, and put the resultant letter in it's place. So.... A would become N, B would become O, etc. It's simple, and it's a joke, and it's not supposed to be used for encryption. As you can imagine, if you used double ROT-13, you'll have the same letters as you started with.
My bad. I have been reading since TFA, "will allow the next-generation Xbox (which will have a Mac-like PowerPC chip) to run ON first-generation Xbox software (which was written for an Intel chip)."
I think another issue here is that in order to get Xbox 2 games to play on an Xbox, they will need their software on an Xbox. Now, how do you get software onto an Xbox. Either you do it w/ Microsoft's blessing, or you put unsigned code on it by way of hacking apart the old xbox and inserting a mod chip. As you can imagine, Microsoft wants people to buy Xbox 2. It wouldn't be too happy about people buying the games to use on their old systems. Now that we know Microsoft won't give their blessing to this company to run their code on the Xbox, I'll let you decide which of the two options is left.
I'd imagine that Microsoft would be none to pleased about option 2 either.
Turley said he watched a Windows laptop running the Gimp image editor for Linux.
In demonstrations to press and analysts, the company has shown a graphically demanding game -- a Linux version of Quake III -- running on an Apple PowerBook
Does this company realize that proper existing ports of each of those particular pieces of software exist in some kind of native form for those architectures? I've used GIMP in Windows w/ no problems. Also, as mentioned previosuly, Quake III already exists for the Mac as well. What good are they doing by using software that already exists in ports? I want to see a copy of some DirectX game running on a Mac/Linux w/o a performance hit. This company so far has not proven anything by using the two comparisons cited in the article.
But, if your OS that you are writing is scanning hardware and extracting information in the way that the manufacturer did intend, then what's the problem? I guess, I conisder the "firmware" to be an OS of sorts.
I have an ihp-120, and if I follow everything correctly, you really shouldn't be able to mess things up. You don't "flash" your player with software. Instead, it just sits on part of the harddrive, kinda like your regular OS on your homebox. If you have to replace the "firmware", you just would put the old on that part of the harddrive. I think the functionality of having a USB hard-drive is hardware, not software based, so reading/writing to the harddrive to fix a problem would be simple. Also, the hardware probably is responsible for checking for firmware updates. I doubt the software checks for updates of itself. If it was hardcoded into the hardware, then after you replace the file, the hardware of the player detects it, and loads it right up.
What's wrong with writing a new operating system for an existing piece of hardware? Unless there are specific authentications being done between hardware and software that are protected, then nothing can be done to me. I'm not reverse-engineering their efforts. I am merely creating my own way of doing it. Maybe I don't understand some particular facet of the DMCA, but by all means, prove me wrong.
I'm sorry, but I don't agree with this particular case. Our votes being properly handled is in no way, shape, or form, something that should be allowed to be done through "hack and slash." I don't want 3rd generation voting machines that DON'T have errors, because the first two generations of machines did have errors and the company learned its mistakes. Sorry, but voting is not something that you can easily "learn from the mistakes of the past." It needs to be done right the first time.
Yes, but when you are dealing with the government, and you have been given the task of designing something that is secure and does not have security flaws, then you either better:
A) Damn well do it
B) Don't even bother trying and tell them that
Otherwise you have now said you are doing something, and you are not. That is fraud. Mandrake, Suse, Windows, et al, have never claimed that their products are secure. They are claiming that they are increasing security, but they have never said "We are secure"

broadvoice is a VoIP provider, just like Skype. Asterisk is not a provider. It is something you use for call routing and handling.
They aren't competitors really. One is a service provider, the other is a tool. PBX's work w/ all of the normal phone companies, so I don't see why a PBX won't work w/ VOIP

Why wouldn't it play DVD's? Current PS2's do it.

Well, last time I checked, they are both Linux underneath.

YES
Oh...you meant one or the other. Ah...I see. hrmmm...
In that case, my previous statement still stands.
2006?
2007?
2438?
Nope, 2038. That is the end as we know it. Or at least in Unix. :-) You were only off by 400 years w/ your last guess though.
Nope, you've pretty much summed up SCO's entire legal strategy.

I think the author is just pissed because he got goatse'd a few times.
