I've been getting "SSL certificate couldn't be verified" messages when logging into Hotmail for the past few days. I'm in the US. The article says nothing about US sites, but it sure seems like a big coincidence that Hotmail has been acting up for me around the same time that this was going on.
A Nokia executive has publicly stated, "Our failure to impress Richard M. Stallman is a failure to the entire open source community. We are greatly ashamed that we could not meet the golden standards of such a modern visionary as Mr. Stallman, a man who has contributed much to society in the form of... We're not sure, but we're very ashamed that Mr. Stallman 'is not impressed.' As a result, Nokia will never again attempt to collaborate with the open source community. We are just not the type of corporation that can handle rejection."
Have you ever seen NTFS ACLs? Standard Unix-style permissions are a joke compared NTFS ACLs, but fortunately Linux has some decent ACL capabilities nowadays.
I do use Linux, but since Windows works for me, I don't really have a reason to switch over when most of the apps and games I use are Windows-specific.
Great idea, except for the part where there isn't really a substitute for su. And no, "run as" doesn't count.
In what way? It's functional from either an application/shortcut context menu, or from scripts or CLI.
Also, most Windows apps expect the user to be Administrator, or they either won't run or will run half-assed.
Most? Ehh, OK. I use Windows day to day, and the only thing I use so far that wants to be admin is the Punkbuster client. Generally, if some program chokes when being run as a limited user, it's because of filesystem permissions. Some poorly written applications don't know how to save data to a user's profile directory, and instead attempt to save it into their installation directory. Make their installation directory writable by the Users group, but remove write permissions for all program and data files.
I guess that would just be too much work for some, and they'd rather have their systems destroyed by spyware and viruses than take 10 minutes to set up an application to properly run under a limited user account.
Heheh.. The audience in the theater actually erupted in laughter for these lines:
Anakin: "You are so beautiful" Padme: "Because I am in love" Anakin: "No... Because I am in love with you!"
Come on, Lucas.. 'Ya could have at least let someone who knows how to write love scenes write this stuff. It was seriously painful watching the "intimate moments" between Anakin and Padme.
Dude, wouldn't be crazy if like... Archimedes was stuck in a time loop, and he's all not really alive and shit? You know, like... What if we invent a time machine and bring Archimedes back, and he's all like "what the fuck? You idiots this time machine is the shit that resets everything!" and then the scientists all bust out laughing and shit, but then when they try to send him back in time the time machine all starts smoking and shit, really crazy you know, and civilisation gets set back to the time where Archimedes wrote that crazy ass formula down! Then he's all like, shaking his head, because he knows it will happen again in a few thousand years.
Collected these little gems from the two sites mentioned...
"Evolve your web services into real-time business processes" "Enterprise Transaction Platform" "JAVA-based developers are not asking if they should adopt automated build processes; they're asking how much standardization is best suited to their IT structures." "Infrastructure Development Management (IDM)" "Software Lifecycle Management (SLM)" "With our message queue, enterprise service bus and clustered cache manager products, we significantly reduce the complexity and cost of integrating, managing, and maintaining distributed enterprise applications to enable organizational adaptability and flexibility in responding to constantly-evolving priorities and competitive drivers"
However, from just trying to install software on a Solaris box I can tell you, I don't like it one bit. When I install software, I don't want to have to manually copy files and go in and edit config files myself. If this was 1980 I wouldn't mind.
While that is correct if you want to get ACPI support, you don't NEED an ACPI-compliant BIOS to use Windows 2000. You just won't get ACPI functionality, and Windows will instead use a "Standard" HAL accordingly.
The manufacturers DID fix it. What do you expect MS to do? They can't kick the manufacturers into replacing every affected drive on the planet, and they sure as hell can't get clueless/empathetic users to do anything about it either.
So... Release a patch for it. The patch was not required either, and was quite clearly documented when displayed in Windows Update for users of Windows 9x.

So the new shell consists of configuration files and device node files?
It would be a lot easier to read if the author were aware of the existence of hyphens or parentheses.

I knew you were kidding when you said "neat."

The executive later killed himself.
I seem to remember them saying the same thing about their previous issue.

Obviously, The Cisco Network failed to defend itself.

simpsons has an interesting plot/story every week).
Not since 1996.

Woudln't that be some crazy shit yo?

Don't let them log in as an Administrator-level user?
Yes, they're both very similar, as both engineers and developers are taken out into a field and shot once they turn 40.
Penis and vagina authentication.
Men, having a small penis now just means it's that much harder to steal your identity. Same goes to you ladies with oversized meat curtains.

What are you talking about? Windows 2000 doesn't care about how old your BIOS is.
Heads up: it looks like crap in Firefox, too. The text has no margin and continues all the way to the very last available pixel in the Firefox window.
You'd take the Democrats to court too, if they stole the Governor's office from you.
ME TOO!

That's nice, considering that the Celeron didn't exist in '96 :) I do remember hearing about this being done back in '98-99 though.
I suppose the Green Party has never heard of "irrelevancy?"
