It's a _real_ good thing in our coporation. We can finally use the NTLM only IIS sites around here with Mozilla. And since there is zero chance we will get rid of IIS, at least we can get rid of IE.
This would be great if I could get my SoundBlaster Live! value card to work with Mandrake 9.1. I bought a SoundBlaster just so I would have a sound card that would work with Linux.... Seems to be a hit and miss thing whether a given distribution will set it up right. I have no clue how to fix it.
The only stuff I would want to record is new episodes of network shows. And they expect to sell a service that doesn't do what the consumer wants? These guys haven't finished Economics 101. Send em back to college.
Seriously, why would AOL care anyway? They don't own NBC, CBS or ABC do they? Whatever happened to laisse faire?
Well, since you don't have to ditch your existing Windows OS desktop licenses, you could phase in to a Linux desktop. What is does specify is you don't buy or renew licenses from Microsoft. So if you subscribe yearly for server licenses, you will have to switch to Samba or something else like it immediately. Having the option to phase into a Linux desktop using OpenOffice as your office suite, I don't see any reason why you could not migrate everything at a substantial cost savings. With $800,000 a year, you will be able to afford 10 top notch Unix guys to help with the transition.
First figure out everything your school does with computers. Then see if you can meet those same objectives with a non-MS (Linux, BSD, and Mac) solution.
Then figure out the "types" of computers you will have. Faculty desktops, Internet kiosks etc. Can you make a couple of standard "images" and roll them out to those "types" of computers? Probably, and it will be fairly cheap to do.
We need a website coordinating a global network of people against spam. Then we need to find out the real names and addresses of the people sending this crud, and the companies paying them to do it. Then armed with this information and a network of global volunteers, we can arrange protests in front of the house of spammers, which should be televised on teh nightly news. We can organize dog crud drives, where everyone brings a sack of their dog's excrement for the spammer's lawn. Sign the spammer up to every junk mail there is. Find out what their P.O. Box is, and do the same. Make their life a living nightmare. That will stop the spammers.
It is no doubt legal, but it is intentionally deceptive. Being diligent I always scroll down and uncheck them, but the average Joe user would just hit next, not being computer literate enough to know they should scroll down to see the rest. And not having dealt with enough slimeware to expect this kind of thing.
I like companies that are straight forward and do not attempt to hide how they make their money. Businesses should act ethically. Unfortunately, there seems to be little incentive for them to do so.
This comes down to the teacher's ego being hurt that someone wasn't listening to them, or what they have to say isn't really adding much to the required reading. I slept through half of college. I would go to class, put my head on the desk, and wake up at the end of class, nary the worse for it most of the time. Most teachers weren't doing all that great of a job explaining material above and beyond the textbook.
The only teachers that hassled me about sleeping were those whose egos were personally diminished by my choice to ignore their lecture.
I don't see sleeping in class as bad, or playing on one's laptop. If I had laptops in college, I could have done homework for one class in another!
The Bayesian solution works for my company. We block 90% of our spam with a Bayesian filter, and use collateral filters to catch the other 10%, with very few false positive repurcussions. Bayespam, which our filter is based off of, looks at single and dual word chunks. Hypothetically, you could even look at three word chunks if you have the CPU power and database size to do it.
The Bayesian filter took a week to implement, but my corporation is extremely pleased with the results.
I have implemented Paul Graham's algorithm at my corporation, and it is blocking 90-97% of our spam each day. It is "good stuff". Combine that with Razor v2 and some other filtering I do, and nary a spam gets thru.
Please don't encourage my hard won tax dollars to be spent this way. We don't need to encourage big brother type government surveillance of our personal lives. Carnivore is already bad enough without any encouragement.
There are three ways for a country to produce wealth. Grow it, manufacture it, or mine it. Net traffic cops do not aid in any of those, thus they have no positive effect on our GDP. All it does is move more money that Americans might have spent on other entertainment, such as movies, to buying music CD's.
Other countries will just go on pirating our music anyway and we won't be able to stop them. In fact, we will be subsidizing them the way we subsidize super cheap drugs in Canada.
If Congress wants to pass legislation so bad, let them pass a Consumer's Bill of Rights that gives the consumer fair use rights to make copies of their music as well as legally be able to shift it to other mediums.
Using our regexp recipes, regexp sender blacklists, and Vipul's Razor, we block 95% of spam. We get about 220 spam per day, which is not bad at all considering we have 2000 email accounts.
I hope to make my software (SpamJammer) and its web interface available under the GPL or LGPL soon.
I have found spam is mostly predictable and can be blocked with little effort. It is more of a problem for the average home user who has not the expertise to install a full fledge mail filtering system between their pop3 provider and Outlook Express.
I would like to create a cheap mail service for people to be able to receive spam free mail and guaranteed porn free mail for a 'kids' account. If someone has servers and bandwidth, I have technical expertise to make it happen if we can establish some kind of partnership. You can email me below.
What does $5000 per day mean? Per day I receive spam? The Tennessee spam law reads:
(2) If the injury arises from the transmission of unsolicited bulk electronic mail, the injured person, other than an electronic mail service provider, may also recover attorneys' fees and costs, and may elect, in lieu of actual damages, to recover the lesser of ten dollars ($10.00) for each and every unsolicited bulk electronic mail message transmitted in violation of this section, or five thousand dollars ($5,000) per day. The injured person shall not have a cause of action against the electronic mail service provider that merely transmitted the unsolicited bulk electronic mail over its computer network.

Adobe PR,
I don't view the use of Illustrator in Killustrator as a violation of any trademark or copyright. Illustrator is a generic word in the dictionary and anyone should be free to use that word in their product name as they please. If someone named their product KAdobe Illustrator, I would see your point. As it is, there is OpenOffice, StarOffice, WordPerfect Office, and Microsoft Office, all containing the word Office! Big deal!
Your threat of lawsuit against Dr. Kai-Uwe Sattler is creating much ill will against you by "nerds in high places" like myself who can greatly influence decisions on whether to use an Adobe product or a competitors. I suggest you drop this and leave Dr. Kai-Uwe Sattler alone.

If you are a new AMD stockholder, check out the AMD FAQ at the AMD discussion board on www.fool.com. There is a split coming August 21 btw.
DDR-SDRAM is now for sale by Micron at $157 for 128 megs DDR PC133 , and iWill has announced a DDR-SDRAM motherboard based on Ali's recently released DDR chipset. RDRAM is deader than a doornail for the next year unless it starts showing some significant speed advantages over its cheaper DDR-SDRAM sibling.
The great thing about AMD is even if their microprocesser division did nothing but break even, their flash memory division is going to make enough money to make the company worth the stock price. You really can't go wrong unless the processor division starts to _lose_ money. Of course it will be highly profitable for 6 months, but it is hard to predict beyond that.
Trading at only 10x expected earnings of $6 or $7 this year AMD is a huge bargain basement buy. Just its flash memory business alone, growing at 70 to 100% a year, is worth its stock price.
I don't like these K6 chips. As a stockholder we don't make hardly any money from selling them... They will be only 5 to 10% of production by 1Q2001. Mobile Athlons are coming.
Maybe we should paper launch them today. Let's announce a 1.5 ghz mobile Athlon, shipping in "limited" quantities (say 9 or 10) today!
I'll be contacting my House representative to let them know they should not support any measure to restrict Napster like technologies, and you should too.
We have 5 helpdesk/desktop support people for 1000 PC's. When we are fully staffed anyway. If we could get automated better I think we could reduce it to 2 or 3.
I don't care how great the Playstation is, you can't play the games at above 350x200 or whatever the crumby TV resolution is. I can barely see anything when I try to play Crash Team Racing with 4 people on my playstation and 28' TV. And I don't see how PSX2 is going to help this any. PSX2 games will always be second fiddle to PC games as long as we can't display them at a decent resolution.
Can we call our local Senator to have the DMCA repealed?

The reason Apple is not suing AMD is they know they would lose. AMD has the money to fight it where FishPC probably does not. They are just hoping to bully FishPC out of the "aethestically appealing PC" market. Hopefully AMD will lend FishPC some lawyers if this goes to court.
