Not true.
Most modern librarians are DB experts with a sweeping understanding of complex data structures and data mining. I should know, I'm married to one.
Card catalogs went out of fashion in the 1980s
Ahhh, from my experience*, a locked down system (I'm guessing this was a work machine?) can cause more problems than it solves. I've seen many corporate desktop implementations that are more unstable than a beta copy of longhorn on bad day.;)

That must be a user error. My Outlook never crashes, nor does it download anything without my express permission. Don't hide your ignorance by blaming the software.
It is easy for anyone with a modicum of intelligence to tell Outlook not to display HTML or download suspect attachments, thus rendering it perfectly safe from Viruses. (Viri is NOT the plural of Virus)
Everywhere I work (mostly Big City Banks) all block streaming video through the firewalls, and any bandwidth conscious NetAdmin would be doing exactly the same regardless of size of organization.
Which leaves us with just the evenings and weekends to view these VOGs, and I don't know about you, but I have far better things to do than watch someone elses life thru a codec blurred Media Player window.
Although, I'm sure if we all mention it in every post, it won't be long before the mass media insert it into the lemmings^H^H^H public physche as The Next Big Thing.
Hmmm, whatever happened to the Windows(tm) Interface Design Guidelines ?
I recall reading it way back in Win3.1 days, but since then, even Microsoft no longer seem to follow any standards...
As I understand it, all their 'Designed for XP' logo scheme means is that the app [probably] wont crash. It's not even had to have been designed to a standard GUI specification.
As I understand it LM Hashes can't be reversed. So what someone has done here is pre-hashed an entire dictionary, and created a word=hash lookup system.
You telnet to it, feed it the hash, and it replies with the word.
LM hashes are how a lot of passwords are 'encrypted'
Excuse the fuzzy description... Crypto is not my strong point.
Not True. It has 'Super Monkey Ball', which along with a few mates, and even more beers, it suddenly becomes The Best Console Ever!(tm)...
That is until 'Super Monkey Ball Deluxe' on the XBox next year.
In fact, now that I think about it, Monkey Ball arriving on Non-Nintendo Kit, must mean that even Nintendo are no longer interested in their own little purple creation...

The tuxmachines.org link is hosed already?

Yes it does. But thats not the best way to go about it. For a serious MS Exchange user, connecting via MAPI is the only way to do it.
I have never seen a mail client on Linux that will do most of what Outlook will do when connected to Exchange.
(Someone please prove me wrong here?)

Is it me...or is it hot in here?
Ahh - Sub Pixels - I was trying to work it out and came up with a display that was about 3,300 x 1,800 - which seemed pretty amazing, OLED or no OLED.

Duh.

You are totally kidding yourself.
Consumers have NO power. We just *think* we do.
Face it, they will contine to push this crap at us, and then blame p2p for loss of profits as usual.

"its makers plan to program the robot in English -- not for export, but to teach the language to Japanese children."
Reminds me somewhat of the Young Ladies Illustrated Primer, from Diamond Age, and we all know how that turned out (the mouse army).
All totally accurate AmigaBill, I just couldn't be arsed to explain it to all those anti-amiga people out there.
My Amiga is a BlizzPPC Souped Up A1200, running AOS3.9, btw.
Really? What's This then?
They've got it all wrong. Atlantis can only be reached via the stargate using an 8 digit address!
Tsk, don't these people know anything?
Direct data pump somehow, I wasn't the Cray guy, I was just a mere Vax Operator at the time.
Users loaded data into a VMS process which piped it to the Cray, the Cray ate it, and piped the answer back.
(Hey I was 18!)
I had the luxury of playing with a Cray YMP at the MoD (in the UK)... Just a big number cruncher with a VAX/VMS front end. Lovely to look at though.
More to the point... Who is going to watch these?
...why VOGing won't take off.
Everywhere I work (mostly Big City Banks) all block streaming video through the firewalls, and any bandwidth conscious NetAdmin would be doing exactly the same regardless of size of organization.

So that makes 3 reasons...
1. Bandwith
2. No-one cares
3. Corporate Firewalls

I was merely highlighting how universal Grid Computing can be, and that you didn't actually need 'proper computers' to do it.
And yes, I understand the difference between a Cluster and a Grid.
You can even do it with Games Consoles ...

Of course this is News. It shows emerging topology of WiMax and Wi-Fi working together.
Most Cities in the world don't even have Wi-Fi on the street corner, so I would say that it was an interesting piece for about 90% of it's readership.
The plural of Virus, is Viruses.
I've kinda dropped the ball on the spec, does it play any kind of music format natively?
If so I'd like to get one to replace my aging minidisc player.
They have a silicon chip in them, which is basically glass isn't it ? So I would say not.
