He got the screenshot of the dial-up IP. The screenshot was gotten right in the act when his pager went off, so he didn't wait for a reboot or go through the LAN.
If he used Jar Jar Binks, then this program would be in every store today. Of course, I'm sure Lucas Arts wouldn't have liked it, but don't they have a trademark on "Light Saber" anyway? Or is that a "common" word?
It seems to me that if they even made one small change to the code, such as the "-v" information, that the new code would have to be put up somewhere. I haven't seen the MS programs, so I can't check to see if they made a change anywhere.
While alot of items on the list were UNIX/Linux, they did have a few Windows problems. I think it's probably because they would've felt ashamed to put what the slashdot community wants to hear.

Andy works for Acme Computing. His wife Betty is a psychologist. Andy has a Linux box. Betty uses her Win95 box to keep patient notes on it. She backs up her notes onto the Linux box. Andy's company confiscates Andy's Linux box. Patient information is leaked. Now Acme Computing could be held liable for the leaked information, since Andy and Betty kept their information as secure as possible.
If this happened, it could be the end of companies taking information from personal computers.
Did you not consider the question can be answered in a few different ways? You're assuming the answer would be one word. However, it can also be answered like: I see usage split at about 40% using KDE, 40% using Gnome, and 20% using Afterstep. However, since we are using lower end machines, we tend to train them on the Afterstep. If they have a higher end machine, they usually choose Gnome or KDE.
Of course, that's just made up. I don't have the actual statistics or anything. There are more ways to answer a question than radio controls. Besides, the post was meant mostly to be humorous.
The article talks about how wiring when wireless is becoming popular might be a bad idea. One of the reasons for wireless is that it's hard to put in a wire infrastructure after a building is built. I would much rather have Ethernet in the house than a proprietary wireless connection.
Also, has anyone seen apartment buildings that offer Ethernet? It would be alot like college dorms. A manager would have to spend a little to get the bandwidth and everyone wired, but after that, they could start raking in some money. It would also give them an advantage over other apartments. I haven't seen any of that where I live (ND), but is this something that's common in larger cities?
OK, so we can use cut grass smell on other stuff. But what happens if someone gets an obvious fragrance on an air freshener? What if they got the trademark for "new car" air freshener? Yes, it could be rejected on the grounds of prior art, but we know there are loopholes in the system. I could see if someone trademarked a perfume, that's original. But trademarking stuff that already exists can lead to abuse. What would happen if someone trademarked the smell of fruit into a food additive? Trix smell fruity, they may have to stop.
They should give them training also......

And teach them some things about the Internet before they give them a computer. Otherwise, I could see a huge potential for scam artists or just annoying spam.
1. Should you e-mail alot of people at one time if you have a good product you're trying to sell them? 2. Someone offers fo you to work at home on your computer, and you could earn $50K or more a year. Do you take it? 3. You get an e-mail from someone who says they're a friend, running a contest. You just give them all you CC #'s and if one of them is lucky, you win! Good or bad? 4. You've met a big busty porn star in a chat room that can't hold out any longer, and she wants you, in the worst way. What do you do? 5. You have a message that you need to forward to 25 people to win a trip to Disneyland, do you? 6. You see a new article with no comments. Do you say something insightful, or "First Post!"
IBM officials said they believe that its copper interconnect technology, combined with SOI, give it a two-year lead over competitors, such as Intel Corp.
If they want to compete with Intel, why don't they announce plans to bring this to x86 anytime soon? What they're doing currently is not competing with Intel. They're just supporting Apple in its competition with any servers that run on x86, such as NT, Linux, and OS/2. Oops...scratch the last one:) Does anyone actually see this as competition? Do you think any will have their buying strategy based first on the processor and then decide on an OS after it picks the processor? Heck no.
OK, so don't use LCD's, but whatever sort of technology that they're using. If there's a problem where you can't stack more than 5 of them together, then limit it at five. Even if only 2 can be stacked together, this could be a way for people to afford the base part now and the other part later (assuming the company doesn't go belly up).
I can't get to the site right now, but why couldn't the company make just layers of LCD screens? You buy one base layer, then one or more extra layers and stack them on top of the base layer. Your driver would then generate depending on the number of layers you had.
Yeah, I know we're not suppose to complain about a lack of choices, but I'm sick of having to vote "CowboyNeal". I want Failure as an option. Along with the following: Floogle, Smarnal, Desperation, Chicken Chow Mein, and something in unicode, for our international friends.
Of course they wanted to blow up the moon. They wouldn't want anyone to find out how the faked the moon landing. What better way then to blow it up and destroy the evidence. Besides, during the Reagan administration, they were doing "Star Wars", which meant building a large Death Star. Sure, the article sites 1958 as the starting date and the man didn't "land" on the moon until 1969, but that's just what the man wants you to think. Besides, they got one of those little Roswell bastards, and they wanted to give the others the message that they better fly their ships correctly so we can have a good one to research. None of the busted up ones. Those don't do the NSA any good.
Yes, censorship is bad. We shouldn't try to censor people.
BTW, do you think CmdrTaco will ever set my default posts back to +1? Oh wait, I guess it's OK for him to try to censor me. But we shouldn't censor other people. Let's practice what we preach Slashdot.
The article says only a million units are going to be in the initial shipment. Don't you think that since this is close to Christmas that a million units will be shooting themselves in the foot? Sure, years ago, people would just decide to wait and get it for a birthday, but now, they have an option of getting a Dreamcast if those don't sell out.
When completed, the station will... be clearly visible in the evening sky.
This would a a cool place to advertise.....hopefully they have some sort of agreement not to allow this. Maybe just have the country flags on it. Oh well, it might be just a small spec anyways. Wonder how many hunters will try shooting at it.
OK....now something relavent. Why don't all the astrnonauts in it just count to 3 and all run to one side. It works for tilting a school bus. Maybe there's some sort of internation confusion with it. "Do we run on three? Or is it 1, 2, 3, run?"

Tiqit.com has a link not so cleverly hidden making fun of Win95. It's on the main page in the bottom of the right frame. Or just click here.
Now these computers are much easier to take to LAN parties than putting a handle on your tower.
Perhaps they should've used JPG2K and then it wouldn't display for anyone :)

They'll be visible for the launching and landing.

But this only tracing through the mom, so it can only take one path.
