Does it work with the KT133a Chipset and Athlons? I looked and google and there were reports of the problem, but no report of a fix anywhere that I could find.
It's not just the cost of the server, but the disk space, the bandwidth for the mail, and the tech support for when the person has a problem with their mail. If ~50% of all calls are non-connection issues, serving just a connection might cut down the calls by 50%.
The article isn't worth $.09. The problem with this (or any service that people pay for) is that you demand a certain amount of quality since you are directly paying for the service. If I do a search, then Google had better give me relevant results. Sometimes, I get results that are from pages with just the Meta Keywords to attract hits. Also, if the page is should be laid out where I can get to where I want in one click. I'm not going to navigate 8 pages when I know exactly what I want. And the porn sites will have so much fraud....
The settlement says they need to have open server protocols. This is great for SAMBA, and it seems like it would have to include exchange. Maybe Microsoft will go away from everything runs from the network.
Tell them that you use lynx because it's best with your text reader. If they want to exclude all the blind people from the server, then that's fine with you. Isn't it the law that companies that do government contracts have to comply with ADA rules?
Will there be any other membership benefits? I mostly use lynx while I browse/. so ads aren't a problem for me. Perhaps have a membership for all of OSDN with perks at each site. Considering how much Slashdot's been down lately, I don't know if I'd get a subscription for just ads. Make new features that will make people want to pay, but nothing that excludes greatly the non-paying.
I looked at netproject.com and couldn't find more details. What's the machine running, etc? Right now, my Linux box is behind my Windows box that only runs a web proxy. I'm also on dialup. Plus, my linux box is shut off right now. That makes it pretty secure, right? Seriously, if people only run their box with a web server and SSH, there's less of a chance of getting inside that if they ran many servers and had to worry about hacking from people with accounts on the box.
For those of you that live in North Dakota, actually write Byron Dorgan. I filled out a form on his website one day about the DMCA and received a snail mail reply. I then wrote a snail mail response to his letter. Hopefully I'll hear from him again. A few other reasons to write him: 1) He's on the Commerce, Science, & Transportation Committee. This is the committee that is reviewing the SSSCA right now. He has a low number of constituents. If he hears from 100 of them, that's going to be alot compared to places like California.
A paperclip comes up and asks you, "Would you like to have the server start? Would you like to allow connections from outside 127.0.0.1? Would you like to run scripts? Would you like to be able to access files not residing on the read only floppy? Would you like to have all comments automatically read by Outlook?"
Does anyone have a list of which senators and representatives voted for the DMCA? I tried the LOC, but all I got was when it was passed, not the voting records.
What? Maniac Mansion didn't make it onto the list! That game was great. Pick your characters and depending which characters you pick, you solve the game differently (they all have special talents). I think the only combination that didn't work was picking the two people that could repair the phones, because the phone repairing required another talent. Alot of the game was thinking, but some of it was how fast you could react (such as going into the kitchen and running from Edna to not get caught and then just walk through the kitchen).
http://www.lectlaw.com/files/bul03.htm Scroll down to the heading "Legality". You can't enforce a contract where there's something illegal involved. So this could either not allow them to patent this or not allow anyone to license it. Of course, it'd be great to license it from them and not pay:)
Actually, Robby didn't ban us for that. A few weeks later he said that the password file would be shadowed. So I waited a few weeks and then went to check the file to see if it was done yet before I changed my password and that's when I got banned. Then Robbie divorced Tommy's sister and then he just became a jerk from that point on.
Back in high school (6 years ago) we got the password file for a BBS we were on. Took a cracker program and gave it a list of common first names, sports teams, cheezy stuff (opensesame, secret), and all the previous with '1' appended (because you always here people say to put a number, so people think they're sneaky and put a 1 at the end. Never a 2 or 48). Doing that, I'd say we got about 60% of the passwords. Also, "catLight" was one of them because when you sign up, it said to use a combination of words, such as catLight.
Take a look at my website for a description on how to have IPv4 clients be put on an IPv6 network. I just finished research on it and it's not completely finished, but the base idea is there. All you need to do is translate at a gateway. On the inside looking out it looks like IPv4 and on the outside looking in it looks like IPv6.
Of course, the Lexmark 5700 I got I spent a while trying to find a driver. Found one that was a ghostscript hack that worked, but didn't do any color and was kind of a pain to set up.
Look at the requirements for Windows 2000. They are a lot higher than Windows 98. Most people have computers that are more than 3 years old. MS better be making the new version compatible with hardware older than 1 year if they expect people to stay.
As the author, you're able to release things under multiple licenses. Just because you release something under GPL doesn't mean that the company can't use it. They can ask you to grant them a non-GPL license. The only thing with a BSD license is they don't have to ask you to use it and can still make it closed.
Look at all the companies that are involved in open source. How many of them use GPL? Usually they come up with their own license and use that, because it's what suits them. The only thing I could see this being used for is smaller companies, but those aren't usually as restrictive as the big ones anyway.
I'm wondering who actually pushed this case? Consumers that felt that they were truly hurt by MS or by lawyers who wanted to make a ton of money. I live in ND, so I could join a class action if there was one, but what would I gain from it? It's like the Windows Rebate days. The OEM's get Windows for dirt cheap and pass it (mostly) to you. What I would like to see is a class action suit that claims damage comes to the computer industry by hardware manufacturers that now only make Windows-only devices. Remember in the old days you could get video card drivers for OS/2? But now they only make Windows drivers.
Could we perhaps get Gateway to join the class action suit? That would be nice since I'm sure they have records of how many computers they've shipped in the timeframe.

Apache/1.3.14 (Unix) PHP/4.0.3
AuthMySQL/2.20 on FreeBSD
So it looks like they ported BSD to the TRS-80 now...

If only they'd come out with Maniac Mansion 3.
But if the customer bought the non-OEM version, they could call Microsoft for support and Microsoft would have to give them the support.

Let's see...a Linux distro can come with KDE, Gnome, Afterstep and a few other WM. Maybe 3 FTP programs, a few different IRC programs....
If they take out Netscape, that means they'll have enough room to put Afterstep back in.
Of course, the Lexmark 5700 I got I spent a while trying to find a driver. Found one that was a ghostscript hack that worked, but didn't do any color and was kind of a pain to set up.

Not for the computational power, but image a Beowulf cluster......
