One guy, from this link in TFA, says that he tried to order the Quickbooks tutorial from the Video Professor. The website gave a confirmation page that listed some product other than what he ordered. Then, they start sending me other tutorials, but he never requested those. On top of it, he tries to order the Quickbooks tutorial again a couple months later, but this time he calls them. They tell him he already ordered that one, but offer to send him is order for free, since it was supposed to arrive back in March. In the end, he never got the product he actually ordered.
Doesn't sound like a company I'd do business with. Ever.
Dude...take a pill. The W2K3 machines I've built have been built from a standard image that has RDP for Administrator turned on by default, and this image was made by someone else (i.e., not me). I've never installed a Win2K3 machine from original media.
Actually, from what I understood over the last year "THERE IS NO MEMORY PROBLEM".
Every time someone mentions memory issues, the responses are either that it's supposed to consume a gigabyte of ram so that it speeds up the back button or that "there is no memory issue". This technique seems to be working for Microsoft. "THERE ARE NO MORE SECURITY PROBLEMS IN WINDOWS." Hey, maybe that's what the Microsoft developers visiting with the Mozilla developers last year was all about...
Yeah...I wish I knew the secret voodoo, too. I think it has something to do with your karma, and perhaps some type of flag on your account that determines whether or not tags show up immediately. I also think more than one person has to tag the article the same.
If it's one app by itself, I would tend to agree with you. However, more often than not, problems like this are caused by a mix of different things -- other running processes, hardware, hardware configuration, so on and so forth. Not all scheduling difficulties are caused by the kernel, and in many cases, it may just be your particular mix of apps and hardware that's causing problems. In any case, there are different things that can be done to address different classes of problems, and the realtime scheduler patch is one of those things.
Of course it is. The article is just another slashvertisement for NoScript. I like and use the NoScript Firefox extension, but I still wonder what Giorgio Maone's motivations are for constantly promoting NoScript. We already know about it, and many of us already use it.
Bah! That's what they want you to believe. I prefer to believe my own complex conspiracy theory involving secret government projects, space aliens, and duct tape. Mine involves those, plus a copy of Catcher in the Rye, several men known by three names, a few guys wearing all black, some black helicopters, Area 51, and a can of cheeze whiz.
"Imagine the magnitude of the impact," he said. "People were extremely scared. It was a psychological thing."
No! Imagine that! People being scared -- a human behaviorial characteristic, was a psychological thing. Um, isn't psychology the study of human behavior? Yeah. Brilliant scientist.
"It's a rocky fragment," Machare said, "and rocks that fall from the sky can only be meteorites."
There's a cure for that. It's administered by combining CONFIG_PREEMPT and Ingo Molnar's realtime kernel patch. With a proper config, your PC will never drop audio again.
Either way, it doesn't matter and we win. If the kernel doesn't fork, then probably some kind of compromise has been reached that brings the best of both worlds. If the kernel does fork, we get two independent projects, perhaps each geared at different requirements.
This has happened before. Firefox started as a fork of Mozilla Seamonkey. The needs of embedded developers have spawned small Linux kernels like ELKS. Ximian started as a GNOME fork that eventually was merged back in. Then there's egcs vs. gcc, and so forth...the list goes on and on.
In the end, the community wins. We get better code, and in some cases, we get new projects that meet specialized needs.
Absolutely. I belong to several Yahoo and Google Groups geared at the neopagan crowd, and because the groups are categorized as 'religious' groups, the advertising always contains advertisements for 'End Times' books and appeals to join the United Methodist Church, etc. Then again, maybe this the algorithms are doing just what they're supposed to do...:)
The gates for arrival are the same as the departure gates. Your right in that the luggage areas aren't heavily secured, but the article did say that she walked up to a terminal employee.
Software Engineering jobs available in Melbourne, Australia
I've always wanted to move to Australia, but all these problems with patents and such in recent years makes it seem a little more lackluster. Probably no worse off than in the States, I guess, but I hope the Australian government realizes that fact.
Have you even been to an airport? Did you RTFA? I'm guessing you answered 'no' to one of those questions.
Star Simpson, 19, was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and approached an airport employee in Terminal C at 8 a.m. to inquire about an incoming flight from Oakland, according to Major Scott Pare of the State Police. She was holding a lump of what looked like putty in her hands. The employee asked about the plastic circuit board on her chest, and Simpson walked away without responding, Pare said.
If you've ever been to an airport, you'll know that you can't get anywhere near a terminal without making it through at least one security screening checkpoint. So the DHS people let her through the security checkpoint with the 'bomb-looking thing' attached to her shirt.
Video of the shirt can be seen here, so decide for yourself. All I see are LEDs, a battery, and a breadboard. There seem to be varying reports on the 'putty' she was reported to be carrying, but even so I'd have a difficult time imagining that a 9V battery and some LEDs are going to set off C4, which requires a large shockwave in order to set it off due to its high degree of stability.
I just did a net view on three different DCs and the only two shares advertised by default are NETLOGON and SYSVOL. That's correct, but I'm not sure where the grandparent was talking about shares.
Remote Desktop is not enabled by default on a Win2K3 box. You need to explicitly turn it on. In fact even after you turn it on in default configuration, the Domain Admins group isn't even given rights to log on and needs to be explicitly granted those rights. Uh, no, I'm also pretty sure it's enabled by default.
Remember, games are sold in a free market economy. There isn't anything close to a monopoly among game developers like there is in, say, desktop operating systems and office suites. Competition for your gaming dollar is what drives game development, not big fat happy companies that sit back and do nothing while people fork over money for something that they simply 'must' have because 'everyone else does'.
The reality is that games aren't a necessity, and so intense competition tends to drive improvements into the products. If you disagree, well, stop buying games.
The more the hardware can do for you, the less developer resources you need to spend on getting shadows and reflections to look good. The less developer resources spent on BS means that you can spend more developer resources on things like improving gameplay. Maybe EA won't do it (they don't strike as a very innovative company anymore), but somebody will.
I'm sorry, respect in security is like with all kinds of respect. It is earned, not demanded or bought. But look [Allow | Cancel] "Allow" at how much more [Allow | Cancel] "Allow" secure Microsoft's [Allow | Cancel] "Allow" products are [Allow | Cancel] "Allow" today!
How can you [Allow | Cancel] "Allow" say that they [Allow | Cancel] "Allow" are still a [Allow | Cancel] "Allow" laughingstock?
Ditto. At home, I use Windows 2000 virtualized under QEMU with the kqemu virtualizer on Ubuntu, and let me tell you -- no other Windows OS runs as well...it has much lower overhead than even XP, supports virtually all apps that have been released since Windows XP, and it runs nice and fast -- near-native speed -- under QEMU/kqemu on reasonably modern hardware.
Works great for the handful of Windows apps that I still use.
If I were organizing a team, I'd hire at least ex-NASA engineer with the appropriate experience if I could, too. AFAIK, there was nothing in the rules saying that they couldn't do that. In fact, I'm pretty sure both Jeff Bezos' team Blue Origin and Scaled Composites both had ex-NASA engineers working with them on the first X Prize.

Damn. I didn't even type that statement above. That's what I get for using Emacs in fundamental-mode to type Slashdot messages.

Tell that to my step-daughter, after she frags you for the 450th time in Q3TA, that males are 'more likely to take risks and indulge in competition.'
Females have testosterone, too ya know. Just like you have estrogen. (It's true! Look it up!)
Your viewpoint seems a bit cynical to me.
Remember, games are sold in a free market economy. There isn't anything close to a monopoly among game developers like there is in, say, desktop operating systems and office suites.

That's Gentoo. This is unnecessary on Ubuntu, which uses 'sudo' instead of kdesu

WTF is Tivolization? Is that like, embedding support for IBM's Tivoli management suite into your software? What? Does the GPL V3 forbid that, too?
