· Score: 2, Interesting
Why didn't you do your mod the following way.
1) find the same type of drive in a junk box.
2) take off the cover and use it as a mold over some mold material like clay
3) drill air holes through the mold material
4) put plexiglass into a warming oven
5) clamp warm plexiglass over mold on a vaccum table and suck out air. This molds the hot plastic to the exact same internal shape as your old drive lid
6) after cooling. Machine and fit it to same flatness and holes as original lid.
7) test fit on junk box drive
8) when a perfect and clean fit... do your lid swap in a clean environment
US biodiesel production will reach 75 million gallons in 2005
A former malting facility in Jefferson, Wisconsin will be converted to house an innovative, $200 million ethanol production plant that, in addition to 140 million gallons of ethanol a year, will produce 20 million gallons of biodiesel and, yes, 8 million pounds of tilapia fish filets.
an Illinois fertilizer plant that previously used natural gas as a feedstock is being converted to utilize gasified coal instead, and will produce 87 million gallons/year of synthetic gasoline and electricity to boot.
and with solar: Plans for large solar thermal power plants have recently been approved in Nevada and California, with a 64 MW plant planned near Boulder City and a 4,500-acre, 500 MW plant north of Los Angeles.
Some of us had little birds tell us the name early and pointed out it would not fly. Perhaps that's why they were prepared to pull it so fast.
The name change to Open.... appears to be a request by their Venture Capitalist and not really their choice.

I have a naked DSL line from SBC. I was one of the orginal Ameritech DSL trial users. All those lines were naked and I never gave mine up. SBC bought Ameritech and nobody has tried to break my contract. You should see the fun when I call about a problem and the Call Center in India can not understand a line without a phone.
How much are they willing to pay for that old pc-jr in my garage?
I got the whole offical pile. Put it away ages ago (worked then) and haven't touched it since.
It even has the 640K hack.
I will throw in a Basic Cart. and Mouse Cart with it but they have to find their own special dos2.2 as mine mildewed.
Don't work for the cellphone builders anymore....OUTSOURCED... but.... in my infinite archives likely still have a somewhat working set of the software somewhere. (not that it would work with current equipment) It was good enough to handle all calls and data plus in the biggest cities in the world... Dice and slice anyway you wanted... We spent 2.5 mil to prototype 10 working models. Just a matter of data mining.
heh!
Once this theft is pulled off then the "tw" domain for taiwan will be blocked by a PRC tantrum. At that point none of us will be able to download new bios of drivers for our motherboards and PCs.
We loose!

Basicly this is saying a coporation can steal a GPL'ed work and sell it as their own because the original creator didn't intend to sell it. That means no protection and GPL is invalid.

I tried the following a few months ago then submitted the bug:
wine termsrv.exe
It failed because the termsrv program is Win2KServer or WinXPserver. Wine doesn't supply those Windows Version types to the program so the Windows termsrv program refuses to run.
I was trying to run Wine using termsrv.exe because it would get around the various slow display emulations and bugs that mapping windows display actions into X commands run into.
Then I could have all my windows programs on a linux server providing RDP without needing reverse engineered display mappings. Also, if it had worked, one could run it off of LOCALHOST giving flawless display in X.
Maybe I need to debug the Win2KServer to see what the code is and hardcode it into a version of wine.
That said I just took the easy course and run wine as an X-task from the server and deal with the failures and crashes.
A Wine Tarball of a pretend C drive with Office Pro installed and.wine directory with the text based registry files lets you dup to your hearts content and change ownership if you want....
It mostly works accept the stupid little advisor animals and MS-ACCESS. Oh and you can run that over any linux windows whatever filesystem....
You can even run it from another server as an X-window App. Just don't run the MS-Media player remotely as sound doesn't work remotely yet.
The only negative is that games don't work too well under X.
every machine in my house is either dual boot or linux only. (Dual is for the wife and games)
Linux is as great as it claims.
The windows only prop. apps such as games and Office are the problem. Oh and Wine? It was great back in 1997-98. Now is just sucks big time. The kings of Wine need to work with the community not spin off all sorts of versions and configurations. Also, a giving Wine config file should be updated with a new version of wine to a functional config and not a ClusterFk.

DoS with sharp points begins now.
has anybody done a "reverse" hack that would permit X-Box games (like Halo-2) to run on a higher performance PC (Not X-BOX)?
Also, anybody hacked in a higher performance CPU to an X-BOX?

Add the EU to the list of terrorist orgs. Add Commissioner Reding as a known terrorist. Right in there with these sick puppies: tracked here at

What is the current status of the Standford Checker. Last time I talked with them they were going to try it on X but that was before the X-Open split.
has anybody done a "reverse" hack that would permit X-Box games (like Halo-2) to run on a higher performance PC (Not X-BOX)? Also, anybody hacked in a higher performance CPU to an X-BOX?
Most real world cpus get IO-Stalled to main-memory.
They just pushed cardboard boxes of trash away from the spaces tation on a special space walk.
Are you 100 percent sure of that. NEVER is a pretty big word. To top it off... MAD didn't require specifics ... Just shoot based on incomming.
