i would guess the browser statistics were taken off once there was no point showing them anymore - when one browser has well above three quarters of the market, there's no suprises
my mate bought a smart card reader, so he could log in to his computer with a smart card. (he obv has too much money)
i think he said the card can carry 1mb of data (iirc), enough to carry a huge (long) password and the location of the nfs server and login details.
i believe a script could invoke something like this (after reading neccessary information from the card): mount $SERVER:/home/$USERNAME/home/$USERNAME username=$USERNAME,password=$PASSWORD
(disclaimer - ive not mounted an nfs share for a while so i might have forgotten the syntax)
why doesn't linux take out the dots in the version while nobody's looking? version 267 atm (unless theyve released another when i wasn't looking). 267 > 10 == woo
in slackware's install process (and im sure many other linux disto's) it asks you which services to start from/etc/rc.d/*
if you dont tick any of those boxes, there aren't any servers running - no remote exploits. on the other hand, Windows XPsp1 makes it very difficult to turn off the right services, some of which cannot be disabled, and the firewall is off by default (meaning rpc [msblaster] is open for the world to see by default). i know rpc has been fixed, its just an example.
IBM and Microsoft were working on an operating system together- they had a lovers tiff and Microsoft took their code from the project and made Windows NT, IBM took their code and make OS/2
win95 bugs are no longer a problem for almost everybody, activeX still exists in windows XPsp1 - its bugs might not be there anymore but its still an inherantly bad idea
i have a mate who's starting a higher ed computing course next year with me - he bought a dell because the box was black (he liked the box!) and he bought a 2.1ghz celleron (roughly). He recons its "shit-hot" because its 2.1ghz.
also, he runs windows XP with no firewall and suprise suprise, port 25 is open.
he makes me doubt the 'higher' part of higher education.
Slashdot Mirror
recompile your kernel to support broken apm implementations (i have to on my asus mobo)
for some reason, X didn't work out the box on slackware 10. it worked with 9.1. Probably something to do with xorg rather than XF86.
simple to fix though - xorgxonf (i think, the command line wizard anyway) then set up the binary nvidia drivers.
it speaks volumes about OSX too - he doesn't run it.
By the process of elimination, the guy recons linux, a BSD or commercial unix (or something more obscure) is better than XP and OSX
get a torrent - theyre listed on slackware.com
when you get a torrent, your uploading too so your actually making the situation better.
2.6.7 doesn't need to do scsi emulation for atapi ide cd writers anymore - it uses native atapi (as of 2.6 iirc)
yes, kde does write to the X config file.
krandrtray can change resolution (and other stuff) on the fly, and make changes to the x config file
yast (or yast2 for the gui), its gpl'd - does anybody know of a slackware port?
im just finishing off a 4.1gb download of fedora core 2, on a 150k connection.
what were altavista running at the time (OS + webserver)?
this post it just out of interest (i'd like to say it was insecure microsoft software but i doubt they'd run windows)

there was a project hosted on kde.org a few years ago to get activeX plugins to run (using wine) in konqueror.
:(
I spent ages searching for a download last year but i couldn't find it anywhere (just the kde announcement)
i needed to use msn chat (website) too - had to use windows|vmware instead
unless there was a root exploit
theyre just improving - consider these three things:
the most evil company in the world is planning on competing with them
the point of going public is to make money, maybe theyre spending some of what they expect to make out of going public
maybe theyre trying to up their opening share price

as a year long slackware user i installed suse 9.1.
to complete a sometimes difficult task in windows:
k menu > system > Yast Configuration Tool
(or something like that)
ive hardly touched the command line so far, and i use slackware normally (slackware users are strangely obsessed with editing configuration files)

linux is a client and server in one. its great at both
like blaster?
you cant patent something. you can onlu patent HOW to do something
no.

i thought gforce was just a nutered riva, and the riva a high end card
ive never researched it though
