I hate to burst your bubble. BUT, the guest account is DISABLED by default in Win2k & XP. If the machine is domain bound, then the netadmin would have to be a freaking idiot to reenable it.
California courts are obviously overstepping their bounds. Why haven't these guys gone to Federal Court to get a injunction against the California Courts for a jurisdictional violation?
I wouldn't get either. I am currently looking at getting a HandEra 330. It runs PalmOS and has both a CF and SD sockets on the top. (It supports a 1GB Micro Drive, hmm...1GB on a Palm) Yes, it is only gray, but I don't like having to change or charge batteries every day. Gray Palms runs for about 1 month on 2AAAs. The HandEra take 4AAAs and weighs about.2 ounces more than a IIIx. There is a option comming out this summer for a Li Ion battery. It also has the same dimensions and connectors as a III series so you have a ready supply of cheap accessories.
I think they are pumping money into Corel to keep the competition in business. Therefore prove there point to the DOJ that they are not a Evil Empire(R) with no competition.
Hate to burst everyone's bubble but JVC has had a DVHS VCR out for over 2 years now. It is intergrated into a DISH Network satelite reciever. (I know this because I have one.)
It records 5 hours on to a DVHS tape. Yes it does do MPEG2 (MPEG2/DVB) and not MPEG1.
In Tennessee, they have passed a law where you can put your number on a "do not call" list. They have a 877 number you can call and/or a web site you can goto to put your name on the list. Telemarketers pay $500 per year to get the list. If they call someone on the list (weither the pay to get the list or not) they get fined $2000.
I think that we need a national law like this.
Small side note: More than 10,000 people called the first day the 877 number was open.
I have one of these cards in my system right now. It is pretty cool to be able to get dual monitors off of one card, really saves on slot usage.
On the Linux side though, I was dissapointed that before XFree 4.0 came out, only Accelerated-X's MultiHead version supported this card.
But with XFree 4.0, this card in it's dualhead mode is SUPPOSED to be supported. I guess I'll find out whenever RedHat decides to release a RPM or I get tired of waiting and try to install it by hand.
SGI is findning that they are having a hard time competing in both software, hardware, and Super Computing markets all at the same time.
This is just helping themselves get rid of one of those markets and focus on the ones that have the most groth.
To be honest, with the ammount of support SGI is throwing into Linux, I wouldn't be surprised if IRIX disappears in the next few years and they wind up cutting Alias|Wavefront lose so they can just concentrate on building machines.
Another good sign of this is the fact that SGI is working on a version of Maya (A|W's current top dog 3D modeler) for Linux.
I wouldn't connect a Hard Drive to a USB... BUT with USB 2.0's specs, I would connect a 100TX network adaptor.
People are getting me wrong. Disk devices will all ways be on the mother board. My hope lies in Serial ATA right now for a new disk interface. When I said kill off PCI, I am talking about for extranious devices like network adaptors, sound cards, keyboards, joysticks, printers, serial ports, removeable media drives, and just about anything else that you can think of for just plugging in - using - then unplugging.
I think the reason behind this is to generate some revenue. THIS IS NOT A BAD THING. The USB Group didn't have a source of income untill this. I don't think that this was a push to go close source, it is just a attempt to get some working cash. They probably expect most of the members to be big corps like Microsoft, SGI, and Intel. Those people don't give a rats ass about paying $2500 for a membership.
I would not be suprised if someone e-mail them, they would probably grant access to those docs to the Linux community. OR someone like RedHat could buy a membership, post the docs and the USB Group wouldn't complain about it if it was used for the Linux community.
The entire idea behind USB is to kill off PCI. I don't think they would commit suicide by locking up the spec and throwing away the key for a large growing market area. (Yes we are being considered a market area.
People don't want to implement it because Apple owns the patent on the tech. They charge per port layer on the interface. My understanding was that most Firewire implementations have 2 ports with 3 layers each requiring 6 royalty payments. That is why most vendors don't implement it.
Ok, then you tell me how you can use NetBEUI, a non-routeable protocol, to attack some one in another state. Better yet, how about the Internet user down the street from you... Can't think of a way, no wonder BECAUSE YOU CAN'T.
Definition of non-routeable: CANNOT PASS THROUGH ROUTERS!
I repeat...this is not some TCP/IP port service, it is a n-e-t-w-o-r-k p-r-o-t-o-c-o-l.
I should have. I was in a rush to get out the door. BTW: I have verified that the Cable Modems that my cable co uses just bridges TCP/IP. They are oblivious to other protocols. (FYI: They are made buy COM21 and are not DOCSIS compliant.:( )
There are a few good reasons for NetBEUI. Here are a couple:
1: It's not TCP/IP and it's not routeable, therefore non attackable unless you are on the same network.
2: For people on cable modems, NetBEUI is a better protocol for file sharing because it doesn't get spewed out to the entire network.
3: (Cable modems again). Screwey Cable Cos can put different machines on the same modem onto different class Cs. This makes TCP/IP really bad for moving data arround because you are limited to you modem bandwidth.

I'd say about 500 to 600 MB of that is the ungodly large swap file and the debug modules that MS includes in it's beta OSs.
Yeah, but Transmeta isn't suing everyone in sight.
I have a RS/6000 S80 running 600 users on a text mode app and the box and the OS never burps.
Specific Config:
8 Processors
4GB RAM
90 GB SSA (Mirrored down to 45 GB)
and most importantly...
2 black cabinets the size of fridges.
This box makes you remember the good ole days in terms of size!

You can check it out here.
44.4GB capacity @ 14.1MBps...kinda wish I could refit it for backups!

Fine, have your "hunt for a IRQ" life. I will have my plug & run life.
I currently use 5 different USB devices without any problems whatsoever.
Stay in the past, that is where you belong with that attitude.

This is just my 2 cents worth.

This is getting way out of hand. The next thing we know it's going to be illegal to own a debugger and listen to your friends CDs that you borrow.
