Not dupe! That story is titled "One Step Closer to IPv6"... This one is "798 steps to go" And what is the number of step "AAAA record for slashdot.org"?
Besides, they can always just start taking away all those spam sites that offer no real content and just distribute those to other Actually, the spammers/phishers are already doing their utmost to stop eating new IPv4 addresses, and conserve them by using existing IPs of random Windows boxes. See, who's the bad guys now?
It's not about winning money. It's about making sure SCO's corporate veil isn't pierced.
If that hive of villainry fails, some of their dealings could see the daylight. And at least a couple of big companies are really interested in making sure this doesn't happen. So they funnel money into the sinking ship to keep it afloat or make it sink in a secluded place -- it's better to lose some cash than have the dirt revealed.

Actually, it appears that (at least on Debian) AES is already the default. Selecting 3des gives tremendous slowdown; blowfish is somewhat slower than AES.
Copying 100MB of data over 100mbit ethernet to a P2 350Mhz box (the slowest I got) gives: * 3des 1.9MB/s * AES 4.8MB/s * blowfish 4.4MB/s
To be sure, some sparks were still needed for the ice theory but there you have it. Of course. The life couldn't start anywhere but at the border between the fires of Muspelheim and the ices of Niflheim.
And the article claims it's a new theory. Bah! Bah, I say!
Well, in the first case, you're a proud american learning to protect his family That's a good thing to say if the cops spot you training in your mosque's backyard.
Except, you see, DOSBox is doing full-blown emulation not virtualization. This means the overhead makes a modern machine perform at the level of a fast 486. On other hand, virtualization imposes a penalty pretty much just on I/O (graphics, sound, disk, network)-bound tasks.
Of course, most uses for 16 bit programs can be happy enough with a 486.
The word in and of itself is upsetting to many people. And that's a problem with the people, not the word. Since we're not going to run out of idiots anytime soon, they will use the word just because it is perceived as offensive. The only solution is to stop being offended by it.
The only way you can be offended by somebody (you or not) being called a nigger is if you yourself think that being a nigger is bad. Once you realize this, it's not an insult anymore. Heck, it's often used as a term of pride (that's bad too).
This is a press release, for general public who need illustrations they can somehow comprehend. Those of us who understand more know where to look for more accurate data, which would be both useless and confusing for the broader audience.
Sure, here you go. Let's take a look at several customers we got: * car dealerships:
* 5 XPs, 2 98s, 1 Debian server
* 3 XPs, 2 98s, 1 Debian server * a construction materials production/wholesale (30ish employees)
* (in the back) 3 XPs, 1 Debian server, (in the front) 5ish 98s * penal psychiatry hospital (hah), patient's deposits department
* 10ish 98s, 3ish XPs, 1 Mandriva (or perhaps Red Hat, dunno) server * our own offices:
* 5 XPs, 1 Vista, 1 98, 2 Debian servers (one with lots of VMs)
* 2 XPs, 1 98, 1 Debian server, 1 Debian desktop * a bigger production company (296 employees)
* 30ish 2Ks, 4 2003 servers, 1 Debian server, only one XP I know of
I doubt you will see much difference elsewhere. Of course, a wealthy city will have a somewhat different XP:98 ratio than a backwoods town, but in most small businesses you'll see a smattering of XPs, 98s or, even worse, Vistas, and in bigger ones that will be a more homogenous deployment of 2000s or XPs.
US, UK, Australia, etc... -- in other words "English-speaking countries". With an emphasis on "English".
Billion in a text in English is 1e9, everywhere. In a text in French or Polish that may be 1e12, but there is no ambiguity because the language tells you what that word means. In Polish, "pies" means "dog" while in English that's plural of "pie" -- the same word has different meanings in different languages. Or, "actual" being "real" in English and "current" in Polish and German.
Of course, this confuses poor bastards in outskirts of Quebec, and those who were born in Poland (aaargh...), but it's no different from any other false friend.
Er, what he said was "IE7 WILL NOT be going on any of my machines", not that he will use IE6. Updating MSIE replaces a bunch of system files as well, even though you don't use the sorry-excuse-for-a-browser at all. I have yet to see a case when version X+1 of a Microsoft product was less intrusive than version X, so that's not a totally unbased decision.
And, if you need to check if a page works in IE6, you have it right there. I just checked the IE history on my XP box -- there was not a single entry outside the local servers.
It's not so good -- Win2k and 98 will still be affected. And they're quite widespread -- Win2k in bigger corporations, Win98 in smaller businesses. Private computers tend to use XP, mostly of questionable legality. And of those who run XP, a vast majority seems to have updates disabled.
And even if everyone switched from IE6 to IE7 overnight, it's still a steaming pile of crap. Sure, it may be mere bullshit instead of military-grade toxic sludge, but either version makes me glad I don't have to do webmonkeying for a living.
Actually, they do threaten and sue people over the rules, board shape and so on as well.
Ten years around or so, my roommate created an implementation over the name "Szkrable". Once Hasbro found out, they demanded it to be removed, together with all dissemination of any related software, including the dictionary which later replaced the Polish ispell one (GNU had 300kb of data, MaF had 22MB at the moment). A simple rename didn't work.
After receiving legal advice and deciding there's no way for a poor student to fight Hasbro whether a copyright over the board shape is valid, my friend came up with totally changed rules and board, making a wordgame which resembled Scrabble in spirit and strategy, but nothing else.
Well, this could be something to breath life into MySQL which seemed to be in dire straits recently. After Oracle's low blows removed both of transactional engines, it looks like everyone is abandoning MySQL for Postgres.
While doing such a response to 4000 pages of stuff can be hard to be done by just Anakata's crew, posting it online can be actually a very good idea. There's a lot of lawyers, paralegals and other volunteers on Groklaw, I bet many folks would bother to help TPB as well.
But with your computer having 1e38 fans noisily buzzing around when you sleep, and guzzling power like American cars guzzle gas, why would you even bother running torrents on your personal machine? It's so much more efficient to do that on the damn router itself.

That "300 terawatts" is nothing if you take into account how short the beam lasts.
