What is with people using the term ZeitGeist? Google uses it for its end of the year search roundup. It is even used more heavily by others not associated on the internet.
OK why not the term DefMiner? Then get an old guy to be the site mascot? On second thought, never mind. Just dont be supprised when people get you confused with another product.
About the rest of the world on this one. ICANN affects all of them and I dont think that the rest of the world will like the US going: "Well ICANN just isnt doing what we want. So guess what, were thinking of getting rid of them! IANA will be on the chopping block also. HEY AMERICA! Any thoughts?"
Is there another orgainzation out there that is doing this or is it time to move to IPv6 and an international organization for the Domains and IPs out there.
This seems like something that would be better suited for Flock rather then Firefox. Wouldnt it make more sense for You to be able to see who was on and then be able to call them for free. Im guessing that someone will do this.
While not quite as full featured as googles, ajaxXLS reciently offered a beta of writing in the spreadsheet and boasted XLS format compatibility (hence the name). It is part of a project by Michael Robertson (mp3.com founder).
BTW google keeps taking out office application left and right.
Gmail = Outlook part 1
Calendar = Outlook part 2
Writley (Acquired by google) = Word
New Spredsheets = Excel
All they are missing is a Database and a Presentation Maker and they have the set. Look for it comming soon.
Actualy it was updated reciently and now it can. From my linked forumn for Automatix.
This is a graphical interface for installation of a lot of apps on Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu BREEZY AND DAPPER (DOES NOT WORK ON Warty or Hoary) and for tweaking a few things to get your Ubuntu box up and working in full throttle in the quickest possible timespan.
I figured out what OneCare is (aside from a really bad name).
Take Spybot Imunize function combied with Microsoft Updates packages, add Rebranded Antispyware and Antivirus, and clone in.Mac.
If you look at the features most of those come standard with OneCare and the windows equal.
"Two Way" Firewall == Windows Firewall
Deframent == Disk Deframenter
Frees up hard disk space == Disk Cleanup
Tracks updates for Windows XP and other Microsoft programs == Microsoft Update
50$ a year for a Fancy All-In-One gui to your basic windows programs sound like a lot to me. Doesnt even backup to an remote backup server. Sadly Mac suckers (em, users) have been paying for years, Redmond is catching up and getting in on the action.
Symantec Antivirus 10.x
Symantec Client Security 3.x
(Other Symantec Antivirus products are also potentially affected, waiting for vendor list)
Question 1: Are norton Consumer level products (Norton/symantec Antivirus 2006 for example) in this list.
Question 2: Where does this security vulnerability lie? In the scanning engine or in the GUI appliation wrapper or helper dll. This could let us know if the Symantec Antivirus 9 -> 1 are bad.
Im holding Slashdot to a Slashback on this as this unfolds.
BTW, any takers on the ammount of time till patch. Clock starts now.
Have the companies merge. Apple Computer could take over Apple Corp. under a new ParentCorperation or you could have Apple Computer become part of Apple Corp. Doesn't Apple Corp. make a lot of different things? Computers could become yet another one of them.
It would be a solution to a never ending problem. Just make sure to leave control in the hands of Apple Computer and use the parent corp as a tax shelter or whatnot.
If they wanted to they could take and put the latest OS X (if that or a Linux dist) on them if they were in good condition and sell them for pennies (Cost of shipping?) to the rural china. If Microsoft is going to invest in china, and there are companies in china who plan on making a product that will cost 6 months of a person wages, why not simply put the whole thing there. Why?
Increase product awareness.

Sargent: SITE DOWN! I need a mirror in here ASAP
Medic: Working on it sir!
Sargent: Damnit man! the servers on fire! why the hell did we put him on here!
Medic: Its slashdot sir. Its hell for small time servers that aren't expecting this.
Private: Sir NYUD cache is comming through they have a back up and are wanting us to re route traffic there.
Sargent: you heard the man. Get over there now.
Is it just me or is the onmac boot loader a little cuter then this. The Selecter switch with the two hds is nice but you dont get the feal. I hope someone makes that look better. Also if the above post is correct and it needs 83 MB the OnMac version takes much less. Sure the install is not as pretty but it has a good method of doing it.
I guess the kicker in this case was the drivers that Boot Camp gives. Oh well. Now its official but its good to see that hackers (people who just mod software for fun) got it to work first. Apple is just being nice now.
Hmm well obviouly the page isnt being hosted by Google Pages if the site had been slashdoted. Hmm. If you got a page and played with it why not show it off. Obviously Slashdot it not for you (or your server).
I want to see that one put into place. New changes are rather... Um... new.
Next they need to add Thumbnails. Besides they have the power to take a pretty little picture. Heavily optomize it. Have a cookie setting to turn it off and they will be instantly accused of copying of copying ASK.com.
Considering that the interface hasn't changed in a long time this might be fun.
Create an American based company and then buy the other two. Or simply merge them and set up shop here.
BTW. What does the government have against an Israeli company. I thought we were friends with them. Might bit strange. Im sure they will find a way arround this.
I successfully figured out how to install Windows on my imac. It is quite ingenious really.
Prepare a windows machine that will run VMWare
Run Remote Desktop Connection and launch vmware
Run VMWare at full screen with the top bar off
Install. With the virtualization of VMWare it will be near realtime
Catch blurry inconclusive video of the system and hardware manager.
I forget if you sleep your system if the RDC comes back with it but why didnt he simply use VNC or some other remote system.
BTW did you see that it had a Microsoft Power Adapter attached. Mighty suspicious to me.
If it is for real then congratulation narf2006 on doing it. Now simply make it dual boot and a unedited high-res static cam of the install to satify us all.
Ok they specify that this "L4Linux" is a modified kernel to allow linux programs to run. Now is it using a virtualiztion layer and running a FULL kernel or is it a PARTIAL kernel that simply provides familliar hooks that the real linux kernel uses.
If it is a Partial kernel do they have plans to include something like Xen to allow for the use of this as a server base and then have linux on top?
Someone will write a code wrapper that will tell Skype that it is on an Intel when it could be on a Mac or AMD for all i could care. Someone will do it if they get desperate. Either that or switch to Gizmo Project
I bet the program will work on a viretey of platforms, wait Macs have DC Intels never mind.
Open sorce has one major advantage over a closed source product. It is the power of multiple people. In a community setting people give ideas, fix problems, and help troubleshoot. In a closed source project the company simply allows people to help with new ideas and FAQs.
If a company wants to take something away it is that many people (when they contribute) can help to make the solution better.
Here is an idea. Create a group of people who are trusted but not necessarly part of the company. Allow them to work on createing new ideas based on seeing the frame work. Think of it as a hybrid close/open system, a "Confidential Code" shall we say. These programers can do bounties on bugs, test beta versions or write new functionality for submission and integration into the main program.
This way they can get outside help on the areas they would rather not worry about. Community. When it is there it really helps.
And lets not forget the hours of fun after some of us more adventureous Links started warping around our screens. Man i wish they would bring that back in one of the game cube versions as some wierd trick (how they would do that i dont have a clue). Hey it kept some of us glued to our GameBoys for more then when we should.
Look to the Gizmo Project founded by Linspire man Michael Robertson. Here is a blurb from one of his emails:
Gizmo Project voice calling and IM is booming on Macintosh, Microsoft Windows, and Linux computers because Gizmo Project works well and connects with every type of device like wifi phones, other VOIP and IM directories like GoogleTalk and even the popular open source Asterisk PBX software. I think people are beginning to understand the difference between Skype who walls their customers in and won't play nicely with anyone and SIPphone who connects to everyone making it possible to have just one address. Next week SIPphone will announce closing of a major venture capital deal which will help the company grow even faster.
I doubt this will be the end of skype and it will swing few people but it does show a disturbing trend in what could come.

Could allofmp3.com route such purchases through paypal?
I realize it probably would not work but it is a posibility.

Automatix is also highly talked about similar to easyubuntu but if you compare the features in easyubuntu.
Pick for yourself but after trying ubuntu and the multimedia fiasco trust me and WMF, you will want one of these.
If you look at the features most of those come standard with OneCare and the windows equal.

MirrorDot and Corel Casche are out as the page is giving a database error and they snapped that. Maybe it will be up later.
Nothing to see here (for now).
Hmm well obviouly the page isnt being hosted by Google Pages if the site had been slashdoted. Hmm. If you got a page and played with it why not show it off. Obviously Slashdot it not for you (or your server).
I want them to bring back GoogleX
... Um ... new.
Originaly over at Google Labs GoogleX page it got mirrored over at Tech Info Blog who has it in all its glory.
I want to see that one put into place. New changes are rather

Watching the linked to video There is a mating scene. How much do you want to bet that because of the Mating scene that it will be rated M for mature?
Look at About 8:30 sec into the video.
