Well it seems after American complaints of the DualShock 2 being too small for their hands, Sony decided to add "wings" to it. Incredibly ugly. But I'm still getting one:)
It seems that a lot of sites are starting to use Drupal for its ease of use and functionality.
TWiT (This Week in Tech), a site and radio show created by Leo Laporte that includes many of the former "The Screen Savers" cast from TechTV, uses Drupal, and the site looks great.
Personally, I think Microsoft is making a mistake here. Leave this to the third-party companies.
I know that none of us know til we try it, but this is likely to be as bad and problem-causing as Windows Firewall.
While there is no legal requirement for any open-source license to be approved by OSI, it is currently common practice for developers to get their license blessing from it.
I don't really see a point in licensing open source software. The whole point of it is that it's OPEN.
Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) is still in testing and has not started yet. The R143 trains using the system have supposedly been having rolling issues that are being worked out. If this is successful, look for the (7) line to be next.
The GPL has never been tested in court for a reason:
People have respect for it and follow it. In the open source world, large coporations aren't usually involved and matters of GPL violations can be handled in a simple manner outside of the court system. If any of you don't understand what I mean by people having respect for it, let me give you an example. The U.S. dollar bill would be worth absolutely nothing if people didn't have trust and respect for it. U.S. money is not backed by any gold, silver, etc. It is backed by trust and respect and it is the same for the GPL. Well, except for the fact that an entire license isn't written on our money.
His article goes on to explain that all IPv6 code is untested and therefore insecure; that IPv6 makes encourages 'peer-to-peer based copyright violation systems
First off, even if IPv6 is untested, it doesn't mean that it is insecure. It has been in development for a long time and I'm sure that all forseeable security holes have been patched. Secondly, IPv6 will not encourage P2P copyright violation. It will simply make more servers available and relieve countries in need of more IP addresses; especially in Asia!
I think LED's are great, but when you have tons of them bunched together, it hurts my eyes. And these pictures definitely hurt my eyes. Anyone else feel this way?
I suppose they might have been thinking about naming it MandrakeMobile, but not been too happy about the prospect of being sued by a random large mobile phone co.;)
Yeah, but even then, they could have thought of a better name. Something like CDdrake would sound better than MandrakeMove, and even that sounds corny.
I've got to admit, this is a great idea. It's been done before with Knoppix, DemoLinux, and several others, but this is the fist one that has come out from a major linux company.
The name on the other hand doesn't sound right. "MandrakeMove" sounds like some file moving software from one computer to another. It does not sound like a bootable version of Linux.
A question has come to my head:
Is it really people switching over from IIS to Apache or is it tons of new web servers starting up in 2003? Of course there are lots of new servers every year. Also, many webmasters and server administrators like Open Source better than closed source. Some will like IIS better, because they can get direct support from Microsoft.
Actually, now that I think of it, I do remember this. Obviously, the BIOS isn't the only difference. The chipset is probably different (I don't know the specifics) as well as other things. A company like nVidia wouldn't just slap on a new BIOS and call it a totally different product. I'm not saying that it's never happened with large corporations, but it's unlikely.
That's kind of ridiculous. People who bought the FX5950 Ultra payed more, in order to beat the abilities of the FX5900. I'm sure that this will anger some FX5950 Ultra users. I hope nVidia comes out with an explanation for this.
You're right, he isn't a Cyborg. They really shouldn't be calling him that as it technically isn't politically correct. He's no more a cyborg than a guy covered in mud is a golem.
Well, that's just strange.
