It would be friggin' weird for a well-built black dude to show some interesting animation on his Zune Nano-Touch 3 as it follows a polished pink fingernail. Maybe this will have presets, and show up as an option in the Control Panel, with some very hard to answer questions like "on a scale from Michael Jackson to Jabba the Hut, how much of an Asian woman's manicure would you say you possess?"
Exactly, and the completely ignorant replies, here on Slashdot, are astounding. 135 is an entry point for maybe half of the functions the Windows OS offers remotely. And so few people seem to be aware of this.
A nod to the parent poster. In any financial transaction, made with your own money, you do NOT want to be anonymous. If you are in a hotel in Las Vegas, or in a coffee shop in Amsterdam, that's OK. The company handling your purchase must have enough measures to monitor and repair eventual damages, and whether they do or not - when the police comes asking why you just bought a brand new limousine you would be off the hook simply by showing them a plane ticket and saying "hey, I was in Vegas, Mercedes - that's a car from France, right?"
I agree with your assumption, i.e. that "he probably had something to do with the murder". But since this thread is all ramblings anyway: what if he hired someone else to kill her in a lapse of reason, realised in horror the next day that it was wrong, tried to cancel the "contract", the paid assassin being after all a bad guy didn't accept this without receiving the (presumably huge amount of) money, and if Hans Reiser refused to do so, murdered the woman, planted enough evidence to frame him - evidence Reiser himself might not have been aware of - then made another attempt to extort money by informing him of the murder and the location of the body. I smell a blockbuster movie based on this scenario.
But the XMMS devs did see almost all of what made Winamp useful in source form. Graphics: in easily readable jpegs. API: well documented. Plugins: loads of them, some with source code. Multimedia encoders and decoders: readily available as open source. The only thing that might have buggered them was Justin's visualisations:)
The key word would be "primarily". It doesn't matter at all if you download 2TBytes of Linux, that one 500KByte audio file is what makes you guilty in the eyes of law.
Jesus F Christ people, did you just list 50 different ways of enumerating the files in a directory, all of them using a single platform (Linux + bash), all of them riddled with bugs due to whitespace, other special characters the shell might interpret, plus Unicode where applicable - and none of you considers there might be some issue with it?
There is a very serious need for such an emulator, and Microsoft has provided three of them: one is an actual emulator (Virtual PC), the other two are delivered in the installation kit and are called WOW (Windows on Windows), one for 32-16 bit compatibility, the other one for 64-32. To be complete, there is also a fourth one, for MS-DOS legacy applications, NTVDM (Virtual DOS Machine). Neither of the above does a splendid job, but they do exist and are useful in a number of cases.
i think the main problem is the database of 'old' articles and posts, can you imagine having to converting years and years of posts/articles etc to UTF8 ? There's nothing to "convert", everything prior is straight ASCII, should there have been any right-to-left Arabic articles then yes, but going to UTF-8 will pose no problem whatsoever with the current versions of Perl and MySQL.
Where I live (and no, it's not Uzbekistan) banks fax everything. I've had a look into the "transmission room" in some locations when doing hardware maintenance and seen some BAD ASS faxing monsters, with auto feeder accepting variable paper size and quality, error checking, scheduler, reporting, multiple user access levels etc. The amount of money and technology invested in such a tool that after all goes biii bzzt bzzt over a tiny cable at the business end was simply mind-boggling.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but from your description it looks like the game will not be open source, so its development methods are not relevant for this discussion.
Office XP runs fine in Wine and it's had three big bugfixes (service packs) that made it quite safe and stable. I have tried almost all Office versions (MSDN subscription) and when 2003 came around tried really hard to find the improvements. My 1024x768 laptop display suddenly was too small, its load time doubled for no apparent reason, all sorts of new bugs appeared, the second service pack REMOVED some features from it due to some lawsuit MS lost.. but it had a better spell-checker. If there was any way to install that on Off XP, I would have been the happiest man. Office 2007 though had quite a 'wow' factor when I installed it. Except Outlook 2007, which I swear is an exact copy of the one in 2003.
I am looking right now at a laptop offer on a local web site: a brand new Pentium M Dell (pre-centrino) can be bought for 500USD and a (really tempting!) factory refurbished IBM T23 costs ~400USD. These are fully-fledged systems, with fast CPUs, lots of RAM, good displays etc. and can perform better than 3-4 OLPC toys stacked together. Give it six months, and those configurations will cost 300USD. Nicholas Negroponte's idea sounded really good, and I was tempted to pay 300USD for one of his laptops, three years ago when a system equivalent to the T23 was 2000-2500 USD. Right now I would suggest him to give up and find other uses for the otherwise interesting technology developed during the OLPC project.
It required a copy of 95 or 3.1, or at least that was what the installer said. I remember doing a sys a: c: and creating an empty c:\windows directory convinced it to continue:)
I find the intricacies of the BSD system very confusing, and those of the Unix systems in general too. This is why linux from scratch has been of invaluable help for me. Is there some way to install a BSD system starting from kernel, libc, init, boot loader etcetc?
One line from my log on SuSE: "Warning: ip6tables does not support state matching. Extended IPv6 support disabled". When this line is gone, I will consider switching.
The answer to this dilemma is very simple: find a neighbour, a friend, a relative whose opinion you keep in high regard and trust. Ask, and follow the advice given. The not so simple part of this solution is finding such a person - one that you don't just like or bear but respect and perhaps admire.
For the first time in MS history, an OS release will make all your hardware obsolete. Every other iteration I have seen offered some features while promising to keep your current hardware alive (for a while). Got a 386 4MB RAM running DOS? Win3.x will run perfectly on it and provide a lot more features! I have installed Win95 on a 486 8MB. Win2000 on a PII300 64MB. WinXP on a PIII800 128MB (until SP2 came out, that forced an upgrade to 256MB). All those systems have been used for daily, useful tasks. Now Vista promises you'll have to throw in the garbage your Celeron > 1GHz 512MB RAM which proved so far to be more than enough for XP. VERY unpleasant. And a bitter side-note: Tiger runs BETTER than Jaguar on my 800MHz 512MB RAM iMac:(

I miss the very good Bluetooth support of KDE 3.5

Why on earth are you ordering a Dell laptop delivered there? Are you that stupid or that arrogant?
my argument was that, culture being our primary export..
you are joking, right?

except by Lindows/Linspire - does anyone use that any more?
At least 1,5 million users only in the US, there must also be a few of us in the rest of the world, thank you for noticing.

You can also edit this into C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins\google.xml (or wherever you have this on your system).
