  1. Re:I find that amusing... on Yahoo and Microsoft to Merge Instant Messengers · · Score: 1

    It's in a way a 'innovation' (Or 'copy' the non-microsoft'rs would call it) of commercial jabber solutions with transports.... Except different protocol.

    Actually when photocopied, the pages came out entirely black. I think it was some special paper coating or something.

    I remember people telling me that MacOSX would "never" be availible on x86 hardware.

    ATi supports windows 2003 just fine here...

    Of course they don't support windows 2000 and older OSes, I mean their support years have ended at Microsoft now anyway, plus I don't even know anyone with windows, that has a OS installation that is older than XP.

    Actually such technology does exist, as there was for a time 'anti-photocopy' school books being sold in Poland, however due to the huge increase in costs in the school books, teachers, school educators went a long with alternative books that didn't have this protection.

    So.. They (the publishers) stopped using the technology since it was too expensive and not making money.

  8. Re:Apple? on AMD Hits Milestone in Server Market · · Score: 1

    I never saw any article that actually provided any evidence that Apple was going to use the x86 architecture. Also, I hope you do know that intel does not only manufactor things only for the x86 architecture. I see them creating PPC proccessors in the future for some reason.

    A little fix to Hatta's options:

    Mozilla releases bug fix without waiting for distros, users can:
    o Install the venders version using the auto updater
    o Compile the venders version
    o Wait for distro patch

    699 USD... defintely cheaper than a phosphorescent solution. But wait... that doesn't sound right.. you can get a phosphorescent solution for hell of a lot less.

    If some moron decides that pi is 3 or that absolute zero should be -100c does not make it so.

    I have a theory that it does for them.

    No one has ever tried to defend murder or rape or burgulary as freedom of speech

    Of course not, those are actions taking place.. however the information created from that can become technically speech, and that's where freedom of speech would apply I believe.

    (I don't endorse the actions)

    >I have a couple dedicated servers and my biggest beef with 2003 is that it didn't come with a built in software firewall.

    No offense, but I have found Microsoft's Windows 2003 routing and remote access a exceptional firewall.

    I have not yet found any real vulnerabilities that could ever get past it. Oh, and it comes with the OS... You were saying?

    Actually I have.

    I assume you're talking about the Microsoft Networking issue where they have the same computer name etc. That can easilly be changed.

  19. Re:true on Yankee Group Slams Linux 'Extremists' · · Score: 1

    Amazingly enough, I have got windows xp onto another machine without changing the serial number.

    Also, last time I checked, there was nothing saying I had to use a different OEM number for each computer, only a requirement that I had licences for each one (even though I had OEM number for different ones).

    So, I still don't see what you're getting at.

    That's right, skype is p2p, and when you're in a conference, one person hosts the communication in between all computers connected, aka, using that one person's bandwith. I'm sorry but I don't understand how one exactly saves bandwith in this matter.

    They aren't related to Sharman Networks. I suggest you do research next time.

    Yes it was made by the people who made Kazaa, but Sharman Networks did not make Kazaa believe it or not.

  23. Skypecasting? What? on Skypecasting - P2P File Sharing · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I don't get this 'skypecasting'. A search on google tells me it's about recording conversations that raises concerns. Other results tell me it's about relaying audio blogs.

    I seem to be lacking information on what skypecasting is exactly, and how one listens in or creates such a system.

    So far from my understanding from what I got on google, it seems to me that people are recording convos on skype, and posting it on a site for downloading.

    That is why it isn't a 'designed' for windows xp game (No sticker). Believe it or not, Microsoft did put certain standards for their stickers.

    Only reason why I haven't baught a CD recently is because I like a lot of module type music, and they don't sell those on CDs (infact, they're free as in free beer).
