That works for connecting to a webserver, not for browsing shares on the network. What the (grand?)parent is referring to is that IE and WindowsExplorer are the same app.
Typing \\servername is the same as using smb://servername in Konqueror.
I've heard of people who come out of the closet wearing a merkin. If your entire wardrobe consisted of merkins... well, I guess even nudists like to wear something a little different each day.
Without seeing the components, I can't be sure, but it looks unlikely that this has firewire.
Please review the design specs. (Of course, as was already noted, there are no 64bit Macs, so the contest is pointless. Still, its pretty damn hard to get all that stuff into a mini-ITX for under 500 bucks. I've been shopping for parts to do just that recently.)

That's the Ziggy cartoon version. What Carlin said was, "If you're looking for self-help, why would you read a book written by somebody else? That's not self-help, that's help! There's no such thing as self-help."
This is how I remember the story (which, I think, was in the intro to an earlier edition of one of the O'reilly Samba books... Can't seem to find an online link to corroborate it though):
Andrew Tridgell reverse engineered the NetBIOS protocol to link a DOS pc with a unix box using packet captures. He then contacted the original developers of smb at IBM (not Microsoft!) and found that most of the information he needed to create his implementation was documented and readily available. In other words, he did reverse engineering, but most of it was unnecessary.
Later components of Samba (domain authentication, etc.) almost certainly did require reverse engineering, though.
We're running the corporate edition here. It does find spyware and adware. Doesn't do anything about it, but it does tell you it's there. The biggest drawback is that it also scans the system restore folder, and reports a machine as infected if it finds spyware there. (It does the same annoying thing with viruses.. if a virus is in quarantine, SAV detects it and reports the machine as infected.)
No. This is a common misconception, but theories do not become laws by collecting evidence in their favor. (Otherwise evolution would have been elevated from theory to law long ago). See this Wikipedia article.
Actually, the article could do better to explain the difference between the law of gravity (which is the mathematical formula which describes the attraction between two masses) and the theory of gravity, which attempts to explain how or why two masses attract each other exactly that way.

Oh, yeah, that's so much worse than the start button on my WinXP machine at work. The letters in the word "start" look like a rat chewed on them.
Hadashi no Gen (Barefoot Gen) has a star rating (8.9) higher than any of those, but with a total of only 120 votes doesn't make the list. But it certainly deserves to be mentioned here, even if the animation does look a little dated.
But doesn't burning any organic material produce CO2? It doesn't seem likely to me that non-oil combustion engines would produce significantly less CO2 and other greenhouse gases than oil does.
If they give this up and also lose the right to be taxed, then do they also lose all other individual rights? Including first amendment rights, the right to lobby congress, make campaign contributions, etc.
Either they should have none of the rights of individuals, or they have the responsibility to pay taxes like individuals.
I've already got credit cards, debit cards, business cards, train tickets, driving license, video rental cards...
Yeah, me too. Most of the older ones have cracks or tears from being sat on or folded. I think anything as rigid as a CD in my wallet would crack the first time I sat down (and before someone tries to cash in on funny mod points, I'm not obese...)
First of all, the top tax rate only taxes the portion of income that is over that level. The lower tax rates are applied to the income below that level. (ie, if you make 200,000, the first 10,000 is taxed at rate 1, the next 50,000 is taxed at rate 2, etc.) Nobody pays the top rate on their entire income.
Secondly, let's compare the percentage of taxes paid to the percentage of wealth held. The wealth numbers are a few years older than the tax numbers, so I expect the differences to actually be larger.
The top 1% of wealth owners had 40% of the wealth, but paid only 35% of the income tax burden? Seems like a pretty sweet deal to me. The richest 20% owned 80% of the wealth, and the tax stats show that at the 25th percentile the tax burden is 82%. Looks like the trend is for tax burden to lag behind "wealth burden".
Those who could tolerate the smoke used fire, and slept well, breathing in the fumes as necessary. Those who couldn't were more likely to get eaten by bears, or at least have their food taken away. Fire been around as long as the hills, and smoke exposure along with it.
Admittedly, a short term survival benefit, but the negative effects on long term health is well documented among people who still live under those conditions (smoky indoor cooking/heating fires), and are probably worse than tobacco smoking. The question of whether the act is natural or not is pointless... if the "natural" average human lifespan were found to be 35, would you be against living longer than that? The real question is do the benefits outweigh the risks. That answer is not going to be the same for everyone.
Maybe I misunderstand what you are saying, but it sounds like you are willing to use a non-free Microsoft product for this functionality, but if it comes from anyone else, it has to be "free" (whichever way you mean that), regardless of whether it actually works better than MS products. Why?
How about Novell's GroupWise? IMO it kicks ass over exchange, and doesn't come with the plethora of security issues. It isn't open source, but it does run on Linux.
And the set of PCs I admin includes 60 or so consumer class DELL boxes, which, when the video driver supplied by the automatic Windows update is installed, causes them to blue screen anytime you try to change video resolution. Looking up the lovely stop code is within the ability of your average consumer?
If the only rating a post recieves is "Overrated", is that meant recursively?
I wasn't trying to say that using 4.10 to mean 4.ten is wrong or stupid. Just pointing out that to most peoples experience of numbers, 4.1 and 4.10 are the same, and also asking an honest question about how you tell the difference between 4.11 (4.one one) and 4.11 (4.ten one) under such a system.
No. 4.9 is greater than 4.1, and 4.9 is also greater than 4.10, however you write it. In fact, mathematically, 4.1 and 4.10 are the same number (it's a different number of significant figures, but the value is the same). 4.10. with a trailing decimal doesn't even make sense mathematically.
I haven't followed the version numbers of FreeBSD closely, but if there had been a patched version of 4.1 which became 4.11, and now you have a patch for version 4.10 which makes it version 4.11, there's pretty clearly a lot of potential for confusion.
He bought a Linux distribution for as much money as Windows would have cost.
No, he did not. Given that his primary argument this time out is that linux distros should lower their prices, this significant.
The initial article states that "Distro "XYZ" even costs roughly as much as a Windows XP upgrade". That's right, the linux full version cost as much as a Windows upgrade. Further, unless he paid much more than I've seen any linux distro retail for, he is talking about an upgrade to XP Home edition. Now compare what each product is likely to come with, out of the box, in terms of productivity software, games, etc. Which one gave the customer more for their money, and why is the argument that they cost the same misleading?
The products failure to work correctly is an issue. However, when the linux distro is already priced lower than an equivalent Windows license (or, more likely, set of licenses), then how exactly does lowering the price resolve anything?
The article's basic premise this time out is that linux is overpriced compared to Windows. This makes it FUD.
