` isn't really a quote at all its a letterless grave accent (letterless accents are an idea inherited from the days of typewriters where you could backspace and type another key over the top) which is commonly abused as a quote and known as the backtick in such situations.
some fonts display the standard ascii quotes " and ' like a closing quote meaning that using them with the backtick can give a crude form of angled quotes but this doesn't work in most modern fonts.
a school where a friend works were planning a phased migration from netware to samba (new users get samba accounts rather than netware ones and netware is dumped after everyone with a netware account leaves).
that in itself is not very interesting, what is interesting is the reason, they are running netware 3.x and they simply can't buy more client access licenses for it with the result that user limits are often hit.
refusing to sell licenses for older software seems a very good way to make people consider switching to me. Even MS offers downgrade rights with its bulk licensing packages.
got a source for that? i was under the impression that when a (traditional analog fixed wire) phone is on hook the mike and speaker are physically disconnected from the line.
One or two passes with good pseudo-random data are all that is needed, and even the NSA would be reliably stumped with 5 or more on modern disks afaict the biggest problem with this approach is that modern drives remap weak sectors so you can't get to the whole drive through normal software means.
if you know the granularity of your memory manager you could make the least significan't byte of embedded strings something your memory manager will never give which would still leave you room for 7 characters of text.
there is a big difference between becoming obscure (e.g. you need to get hold of specialist utilities to handle them) and becoming totally unknown.
i never used amiga so i don't know about IFF-ILBM but a google search turns up lots of hits including a gimp plugin, Some tracker formats are deffinately supported by winamp and i'm pretty sure the format specs are out there.
and there are emulators out there for almost any old system you can think of (though i admit getting the roms can be tricky).
This sounds all interested or even fun to read it, but I don't think this is fair to the telemarketer (caller). A lot of the questions are personal... you may argue that's exactly what they're trying to do. But look, these are just low life people who's trying to make a buck or two. Some may even broke down and quit and lost their last source of income. do you also think its bad if a low thief breaks down and loses his last source of income because of better alarms and/or policeing?
yes some low level folks will lose out in any attack on a dubious practice, thats life.
also keep in mind that the numbers you quote for electronic equipment (especially the pc) are likely the max ratings of the power supplies not the average operating power.
It is a bald faced lie to say linux is hard to install. The fact is, it's becoming SO darn easy that I fear linux is going to loose it's geek coolness factor -- anyone who can put a CD in a computer has all the skills necessary to install linux right now. if you define install as X running without 3D acceleration and possiblly without sound connecting via a fixed wire network i would agree with you.
If you define install as having all hardware functioning correctly without having had to be carefull in selection of the hardware then its not.
for comparison, windows is easy if you have all the driver disks for your hardware but can be hard as hell if not.
Slashdot Mirror
its a short domain name someone happened to grab and sell names under.
as such afaict its basically unregulated and a fairly stupid place to put your site.

you can get usb keys a lot cheaper than hard drives and CDR media is extremely cheap nowadays.
remember w3schools is fairly techie so i'd expect a higher proportion of newer PCs there than in general.
XP has been out long enough now that anyone on a 3 year or shorter replacement cycle and not specifically selecting an older OS will be using it.
that doesn't mean older pcs aren't out there just that most heavy users will have upgraded by now.

iirc theres a setup like that with metal dishes at jodrell bank too.

reiser1 and reiser2
did they exist? if so what were they like?
virtual 8086 mode isn't availible any more and although 16 bit protected mode is i don't belive XP 64 supports using it for win16 apps.
so its goodbye to running any dos or win16 apps without using a slow emulator.

the results may not be pretty by the standards of 2105 but they will certainly be readable.
just as old archive film looks pretty shitty by modern TV standards but you can still see whats going on just fine.
4) if you are one of the non-firewalled machines it can really rape your bandwidth i've seen reports of it saturating 100mbit!
hmm i have no problems using sip from behind my nat without having forwarded any ports.
MSN is a cracked protocol and MS seem to have given up fighting the alternative clients.
whereas the SKYPE protocol afaict hasn't been cracked yet maybe it will be one day maybe not who knows.

and why exactly would that affect properly installed underground cables with resin encapsulated joints?

the obvoius soloution is to use windowed envelopes so you don't have to print anything personalised on them.
yeah that sort of thing happens when the first few control codes get missed and the printer starts interpreting the rest of the data as plain text.

they did and thier soloution to the problem was to publish guidelines for registries accepting idn registrations.

theese guidelines were ignored by many registries (including
mozillas soloution has been to only display idn names for tlds on a whitelist and display the punycode for other tlds.
so firefox isn't exactly turning off something lots of sites are going to be relying on
