i knew it wasn't exactly an emulator, but i just assumed that it would run slower on this old laptop. know i'm gonna have to try it if i have the extra time to do another install or 2.
i thought about WINE, but my little piii 500mhz cpx probably couldn't handle dreamweaver 8 under wine. it barely meet the specs as it is.
I'll have to check out Quanta, i missed it somehow in my search.
this is the main reason I'm havn't switched. I put together an old dell cpx for my new business and wanted, really wanted to just install Ubuntu on it and be done. You know, start the biz on open source from the start. But my primary application was going to be dreamweaver which doesn't run on linux. I looked for a good linux alt, but there isn't one. the best i could come up with was NVU and it doesn't come close. So I installed an old copy of 2000 on it and went on, wondering just how much longer i will have to wait to finally rid myself of M$.
To attract women students to the CS field, 'Moving emphasis away from programming proficiency was a key to the success of programs Dr. Blum and her colleagues at Carnegie Mellon instituted to draw more women into computer science.'
This statement is the key. To make the degree program more attractive they had to change the fundemental basics to something else. Therefore they are not issuing a CS degree now that is comparable to the one they had previously. The name on the paper may be the same, but that's it. Once companies learn that the new graduates aren't as skilled in programming, they will quit hiring them to do the jobs they always went to that school to fill. This will hurt everyone geting a CS degree from that school. It will actaully promote the stereotype of women not being as good at CS related jobs as the women coming out with these degrees will have a lesser education than their couterparts that received a degree with a focus on programming.
This has nothing to do with stopping discrimination or promoting equallity. It has to do with looking good and being trying to be politically correct.
They put down a partial list of powers the feds should never have and a complete list of powers the feds should have, everything not listed is reserved for the states.
True, but amazingly it's everything that's not listed that the fed has taken.
my company di dthis with citrix boxes or toasters as my co-workers call them. from a security standpoint i can completly see the point, the only way on is with a valid logon and the user can never install "smileys" or something equally annoying. however, they are slow as hell, probably our bandwith though, and everytime you log on all of your settings are reset. I mean all of them, even the standard, "don't show this again" boxes have to be rechecked everyday. It's something you learn to live with, but it would be nice if flash could be installed or i could listen to music on my pc again, but it's not their concern. one thing though, when it goes down, the company goes down. It's not like when the network went down and you could still do some basic things. just go to an early lunch or whatever , that's all you can do.
They worry that being hit with cell phone signals, WiFi and microwave range cordless phones will cause a variety of ills ranging from cancer to genetic mutations.
as long as mine is mutant healing factor I'm cool witht that
unpatched flaw, which affects Microsoft Word 2000, Microsoft Word 2002, Microsoft Office Word 2003, Microsoft Word Viewer 2003, Microsoft Word 2004 for Mac and Microsoft Word 2004 v. X for Mac. The Microsoft Works 2004, 2005 and 2006 suites are also affected because they include Microsoft Word.
well, i'm still using the outdated and unsuported office '97, so I guess I'm safe:)
they were going to make a forest gump sequel?? AHHH!!!
What would that have been, little forest grows up, realizes that his mom was a druggy slut, he's really rich, and his dad is too dumb to ever spend any of it. Then he spends it all going to therapy the rest of his life. that would have been almost as bad as a titanic sequel.
It's not the cripple's fault he lost the use of his legs in a car accident.
no, it's the fault of the drunk that hit him, so sue him and live off that;), unless the cripple is the one that was drunk, in which case....
It's not the african american child's fault he was born into poverty and gang violence.
no, it's his parent's, but a good friend of mine that was born into that situation, worked his a$$ off, got a scholarship and was a licensed stock broker at 21. He's also the last one that would want the gov'ts help.
It's unbelievable that something so obviously flaim bait gets modded up to 4, Insightful. A great example of slashdot modding and meta-modding at it's finest.
well said.
Please understand that I am not agaist privacy, in fact i am very much for it, but a lot people talk about our right to privacy as if it was clearly spelled out, such as the right to keep and bear arms.
yeah, i remember Elite. it was one of my favorite games and i never dreamed of getting a stratgy guide. i just wish I had managed to get to fight the thargoids when I was Elite and had an Iron ass, not just when i was mostly harmeless and using pulse lasers
First, was when my cousin spilled a coke all over his C64. He turn it off immediately, opened it up and used the blow dryer on it. Once dry he put it back together and it worked great.
the second one was
I was moving back from college after the end of the freshman year and had the brilliant idea of using my rolling chair to move things from the dorm room to the car. So, I've got my PC and printer on the chair and aoing along at a happy pace, laughing to myself at all of the kids that are lugging their heavy stuff to their car. when I hit a crack in the side walk, that's a little to big and I'm pushing on the back of the chair. The chair comes to a sudden stop, but the pc and printer don't. They both fly about 3-4 ft. Now this was back in '92, so it was a dot matrix printer and my dad's old pc (8088). I just stand their a few minutes staring before I start to pick it up while the kids walking by just look and shake their heads, knowing that it destroyed. Suprisingly though, when I got them home both of them had survived. They both worked fine. My saving grace on the PC was that it was an 8088 so it did not have a hard drive. I always booted from a 5 1/4 floppy. before and after this, the pc also would temporarily lock up for no reason and would have to be rebooted. Out of frustation one time i kicked it and it actually started working again. This became a semi-regular occurance, so from time to time my roomate would just stare as I repeatedly kick the crap out of my pc so I didn't loose the work I had done on a paper. It turned out to be a loose wire between the Mb and the keyboad connector ( this was before they were hard wired to the MB)

well, i'm still using the outdated and unsuported office '97, so I guess I'm safe :)
no, i didn't, until i saw it here. now i'm gonna have to look it up just out of morbid curiousity
it was the ents and it's in the expanded dvd's

We have the right to be secure from unreasonable search and seizure, but privacy is never mentioned. We have just come to asume that it's there.
yeah, but videogames are more fun than the lottery :)
yeah, i remember Elite. it was one of my favorite games and i never dreamed of getting a stratgy guide. i just wish I had managed to get to fight the thargoids when I was Elite and had an Iron ass, not just when i was mostly harmeless and using pulse lasers
So I guess the prediction of automated parking that was shown in "I, Robot" wasn't that far off after all.
so now they don't want to just control the inside of my computer, they want to control the ouside too....
They really are the Borg!We already know what life after Earth will be like, just watch Titan A.E.
It looks like Jules Vern's fiction is becoming fact. This is one SciFi event that I'm sure no one expected to come true.

All I can say is my Prof was working on Freedom and told us this. BTW: your link doesn't mention a thing about it. you might want to double check it.
