For starters, read the fucking article. It states that Be is going to "scale down operations" if no new funding happens. Since Sony licensed BeIA, it looks like new funding is on the horizon. No way would Sony make a technological decision on a company that is going away in 3 months. Think about it for a moment: which self repsecting company would make tactical plans for a product line and not take into consideration the long-term availability of the -most important- component?
Be, as a publicly owned company, has obligation of disclosing any potential threat to it's operations, something like "if tobacco usage is found to be a health hazard, our tobacco-production mught be scaled down". Every company does it, but it doesn't mean they are doomed.
On a side note: thanks, Slashdot, for NEVER EVER publishing any of the GOOD news about BeOS. Your bias shows.
I found LinuxWorld a very informative Linux news site. Much more so than Slashdot. Sorry folks, but Slashdot is sometimes more noise about Linux than real news and information. (I do like/. for the other news, though).
I think the LinuxWorld crew is (or was) a very talented one, most of them pro's that actually know what the hell they are talking about.
Itcan be a simple explanation: someone with an agenda did this to you. After all, it's not impossible that people working for or being shareholders of consumer electronic companies, moderate on/. I can imagine they would prefere if everybody was brainwashed to buy new TVsets every half a year. Speech like yours is a bad thing to those people.
First of all, learn the grammar and spelling of your own language. "There" and "Their" is not the same thing, this we learn in our primary schools (in a non-english speaking country).
Also, I think it's a pityful country that enables this kind of stupid, utterly stupid restrictions. I am so pissed off, that I am going to make my very own movie, and call it "Diablo" and then I will make a sequel called "Diablo II". Fucking morons.
I totally agree, but here's why it could fail: the same reason Linux is not 100% POSIX compliant. The average Linux-usin, slashdot-reading geek is not interested in open systems, probably because he/she doesn't really understand the implications of them. Open source gets a huge thumbs up, but what really matters, open systems, doesn't.
I agree that what you are proposing is easier to grasp, but I am afraid that there will still be the old discussion "opensource or bust", instead of focusing on the real issues.
Sorry, but who said microporcessors have to be made out of smi-conductors? Thet's NOT the only technology that allows the creation of logical circuits. There is an ATM switch, for example, made by Hitachi, that uses superconducting circuitry. The superconducting devices I know of, use the Josephson junction to operate as logical gates. Derivatives are Single Flux Quantum Logic and Quantum Magneto Flux Logic. And Josephson junctions are not new technology, actually. We studied them in Uni 7 years ago, from a book that was already 4 years old.
I am sure this only shows what is the difference between a self-proclaimed geek mentality, and a scientist: a true scientist is open-minded, while the others can't see over their nose. That's why most of./ readers will claim Linux to be superior to anything, even if they don't know about the laternatives. Same thing here: there is a whole world of different solid-state technologies that are not based on silicon, you just have to open your mind to, arrgh, sciences like phisics and chemistry.
Ummm... you're wrong. Spinning and stopping of objects inside insulated systems will not affect the movement and position of such systems in any way. What you might have experienced in your rotating chair is caused by the fact that there is air friction, which makes such system not completely insulated.
No, the IIS will not move, not even a little bit, because of the spinning of DVDs (or stopping/decelerating/accelerating thereof), unless you turn the axis of rotation.
Ha! Thanks, dude, I have found this link on techtronics.com, and it looks like they really got Multi-fucking-Region players up there! This made my day, folkz! For one moment I thought it'll be Region 8 or something, but since they needed something that will play Region 5, too, they got themselves tvo nice portable multi region players.
Ummm.. the link points to a story about the connecting of the sci. lab to the ISS, and the DVDs are indeed mentioned, by the end of the article, in one single sentence: "After docking, the shuttle crew of five astronauts
delivered supplies and gifts to the Alpha crew,
including a computer, cables for the laboratory, food,
water, clothes and about 20 DVD movies."
I don't see any reference to region codes, or titles of the movies?!
The space station is a mechanically insulated (autonomous) system, so the spinning or deceleration/acceleration of the spinning of some object in this system, will not affect the system itself, UNLESS YOU TURN THE AXIS OF ROTATION OF THE SPINNING OBJECT! This is called giroscopic effect, and there is a force that's related to it, but I forgot the name of this force.
I don't know about other companies, but ours is an almost 100% java shop, and the reason is, every project is manageable and succesfull, all of our products run on HP-UX, Sun and NT, and we do a lot of code-reuse.
Nobody was saying "ban the free encryption/software". These are only conjectures (not necessarily valid) about how terrorists use these tools to communicate. don't be so fucking protective. Relax, damnit!
So, it wasn't just my "impression"? Good. I never had the balls to tell anyone that, in my opinion, it appears as if the NFS server in Linux was somewhat broken, expecially wrt file locking.
Have you seen Chinatown? It's a wonderful movie, but somehow, every time I watch it, I am pissed off. I just realize that nothing has changed in USA as a result of this movie. People are still pushing their heads in the sand and don't see the abuses therich individuals and corporations are perpetuating. I am pissed off, because I realize that even persons who are intelligent, don't see that they are living in the USA of "Chinatown".

Microsoft's DNS Down
·
· Score: 1
With those IP addresses you can have at most 2 subnets. (take paper, pen, do math)
So, in -the best case- they cared to put their 4 DNS servers on 2 subnets. Doesn't look like they cared about security, that much. Or, at least this detail slipped their attention.
But my bet is that their network engineers are jakass idiots who put all 4 of them on the same subnet, and are generally unable to use anything than plain C class. The MCSE course just didn't catch.
BTW: anyone notice how this thread is infested with Microsoft vermin? Did Uncle Bill tell you to go visit Slashdot for some "grassroots PR"?
How about this: Microsoft invests in Corel, and Microsoft's most valuable asset is Windows. Therefore, Microsoft doesn't like Linux (expecially a "Linux for the desktop"), therefore Microsoft tells Corel to fuck off with Linux, or else no dugh. Corel obliges.
No, that's too obvious, it couldn't have happened.

I do in fact use Windows 2000 because it is stable (2 BSODs since Dec. 1999) and supports everything I need.
I am glad for you. I believe Win2000 is exactly what you need. but maybe people would prefere 0 BSODs since December 1999?
