No, Can't help you there. . but being a Tallahassee resident it is reassuring to know that at least one of the fires I see burning over at the FSU campus is caused by a slashdotting, and not a bong mishap.
I like what you've said and concur for the most part.
They've sold SCO the MySQL AB burger and fries and they've told EVERYONE about it themselves probably per SCO's request/contractual obligation. For all I know they couldn't legally NOT partner with SCO in this way.
They've still done business with SCO and I could care less about where the money came from. As a result the only thing that remains tainted is my opinion of MySQL AB.
I can't change my own opinion. The last time I tried to manually change my own opinion I wrote to the wrong address and tasted blue for days.
I'll keep an eye on them for now. Unfortunately I only have a scornful eye to spare.
For those of you who do not know . . The 4-H oranization is involved with helping children with a high DDT PPM count with being more efficient at redneck/farmer activities.
If I were NASA I would have been very concerned too. A flyover was definately called for in this situation.
Every redneck should be well versed in rocket technologies. That's not insane either!
kinda sad though when the vaporware guy's vapor products of the past are staples in today's market. (less the speed etc)
128MB on magnetic media. . hmm
I joined the Georgia State Defense force during the summer of 1996. I was to stand as a guard, and assist people etc. My plan was to take the $1600 I would make and use it to buy 32MB of ram.
I was a wee lad in highschool and I wanted to buy 32mb of ram after working hundreds of hours in uniform in the hot sun.
And I found a 512mb dimm in the back of my car I have no recollection of last week.
Does my rambling have a purpose? Do I have a message to share? A point to make?
Sure. Here it is.
we still get all frothy when we hear something like 6.8ghz mystery chip. 1TB of solid state drive?
OK - So what about people like me who teach technologies to themselves at home or when the boss isn't looking? What kind of IBM mainframe offerings are out there that could be had on Ebay or similar?
I know there is AS/400 that you can find fairly cheap these days but it runs OS/400 or something like that but twinax chafes me.. and "PC SUPPORT" takes up valuable TSR memory. .
Where can we get our grubby hands on this zOS thing?
Does it smell like Brill cream? Does it require top-secret horn rimmed glasses to decode the cryptic green letters?
Basically I agree with everyone else though. If you can't effectively absorb a technology with documentation, time, patience, and the help of your peers then this may not be the right industry for you.
When you invoke an insecure instance of the best http daemon in the world as ROOT then it really can't be considered an OS level vulnerability when that app/service is compromised.
I can run an insecure installation of Apache on a Windows box as Administrator and get screwed all day long too.
Now what will REALLY be fun is if some idiotic OS developer decides to put their rendition of httpd at the kernel level.
Maybe they'll have a web-based interface and we can slashdot the satellites/weapons by hosting some dorky 'I built a toaster oven out of legos' pages up there.
It could prevent a nukelurr tourist attack!
What if W gets a JS error when he clicks the LAUNCH button?
Sounds like someone found the answer to "who I gotta sleep with to get some free advertisement around here"
These PCI cards that allow several GB of ram to be installed, and act as an internal drive with battery backup have been around for some time. They are awesome if your transaction log is under 4GB or if your entire DB is under 4GB or if you're ok with installing a few of them, and using software raid. . yuck!
I've never seen just the card priced at $100 though so I have to say this isn't a bad deal especially given crucial.com's awesome prices that would assist in populating this fun toy.
As ossifer barr brady would say. . Move along folks nothing to see here...
I have a cell phone, and no land line. I get calls on the cell phone ALL the time from marketting people.
I would say that 99% of the calls that I receive on my cell phone are from them.
It just isn't likely to happen though and it's a great OS to goof around with. A low price hobbyist license seems a viable means by which it could still be available at least for the geeks.
My intended response to the original 'No Need' post was something along the lines of mentioning the possibility of an OS/2 Window Manager since the poster referenced the GUI as being one of the OS' strongpoints. My ADD however took me down an unforseen 'hobbyist license' avenue instead. Damn you AD . . .
OK, So IBM can't open the source but they could create a license that offered absolutely no possibility of warranty, support, or updates and sell it at an enthusiast price.
That's how I got my legit copy of Tru64 and I would buy OS/2 if it were being sold somewhere at a reasonable price.
The past doesn't have to be entirely shelved.
If I had kids I wouldn't want to tell them, "Yeah that was a great movie back in the old days but you can't watch it any more. . we're only allowed to read the credits."
I'm sure they have some idea of what broken HTML looks like but we couldn't pursue legal action.
We would chase Bill down the freeway and spend millions of taxpayer's dollars on a media frenzy of a trial only to find that broken HTML simple wouldn't fit on his 640x480 screen.
Oh Come on . These Porn O Matic machines are costly and are going to be deployed in as few numbers as possible.
This is going to cause a line or a "Queue" of many people to gather at a central location at each station which fits the terrorists' needs perfectly.
If it's anything like the MTA you have every homeless person and street vendor carrying a metric ton of crap on wheels right onto the train. Enought to take out the train and probalby anything above it.
No one is going to commit to the resources needed to truely secure public transit unless a lot of people die. With the MTA you dont even have to get on a train. Just open one of the city's thousands of MTA ventilation grates right up from the sidewalk and plant your terrorist aparatust directly on the rails.
It's truely a mess. Public transportation is about as securable as MS Windows.
The US had many very "rural" areas where the only outside connection (aside from satellite TV) was the telephone that sat atop a pole outside (green acres joke). Those areas didn't get much in the way of TV reception but could usually rely on their being a PBS signal that would usually be watchable.
PBS was "free" of adverts and actually showed a great deal of BBC shows. Dr. Who, Keeping up appearances, Faulty Towers, Are you being served, and many other great shows were aired on PBS.
The way PBS got their funding was to interrupt a popular show such as 'Are You Being Served' to beg for money. Just as Ms. Slocum was about to tell you about the fire brigade climbing a ladder to grab her pussy PBS would interrupt and beg for money in front of a crowd of inmates or homeless people who were forced to answer phones.
You didn't watch the rest of the show until they met their goal and they would usually send you a complimentary "something" for sending them money. My Grandmother still has her prized PBS John Inman toilet seat. You may remember Homer Simpson's faux pledge to PBS where he had to leave the country to avoid the PBS collectors.
The BBC is great and I would pay dearly to get their content on a regular basis.
While I agree that this is a time to pay respect to those that have lost their lives and have sympathy for their loved ones that are left behind it is also a time when this event is freshest in our minds and a great time for open discussions regardless of how negative some of it may be.
A high school friend lost his life last week in Iraq and it will be very difficult to face his parents and express my condolences while grieving the loss myself. The war in Iraq has suddenly become a bit more personal for me but my beliefs and opinions have not changed as a result.
I definitely do not agree with everything that has happened over the last few years but we can't stand idly by while cowards take innocent lives in an attempt to put fear into the hearts of others.
If we live in fear they win. We can't let them win.
Vote. Never Let Bubba Jeb into office. Pay attention and choose your candidate wisely.
I've pondered the idea of his being brought on board and I have to say that I would likely request that I be allowed to flee immediately.I would consider being assoicated with Daryl on a professional level a big career liability.
I get the impression that he would have trouble finding work in this and probably other fields again.
Yes, I know he probably isn't exactly hurting financially.
The cost of R&D required to get a fullblown opteron working in the confined spaces of a laptop is pretty high/maybe impossible see lack of G5 powerbook. I only see the name 'UltraSparc' so I dont know if the processor in this machine is the liter version with it's integrated memory controller and other toys but it would have been fairly easy to get that processor into a laptop. I purchased a blade 100 3+ years ago and after cracking it open it was fairly obvious that it wouldn't take too much work to get the components into a prefab laptop enclosure. I think tadpole has been using the 'lite' ultrasparc in their laptops for some time. not sure about that! I think it's an UltraSparc IIe or something to that effect. Fairly small cache and fairly slow all around.
What WOULD have peaked my interest though would be a sun laptop that used the AMD64 processor like the one that's in my HP laptop : )
Molecules that are too large for a water molecule to evade? Hmm
What with the excessive Guinness consumption and all I may be approaching a size comparable to a molecule of water. Fortunately I'm a guy and not easily mistaken for a glob of mineral laden water or anything so I'm ok right?;)
By definition a molecule of water is made up of 1-2 atoms and not the large droplets I see floating in the air on a muggy day. Otherwise I'd not want to be in the way of these large 'molecules' being shot out of my local neighborhood radar tower.
I'm ok with particle bombardment.. . that kinda tickles.
: )
Regardless. . The only coolness I would see in this for myself is using a retired radar LCD for my own stupid purposes.

Crackwhore seizures increase the unic population dramatically! And we know MS doesn't like unics!

I can never read the damn things anyway. They need to go with a higher dot per square yard resolution.
Until they get all that worked out I'll just pay attention to where I'm going instead.
In NYC we have more advanced sky banners. Jets create little dots of smoke that are used to create whole letters which then make up whole words.
The printing industry could really learn from this technology!
What an awesome day to discuss 5,000 year old means by which ugly people can procure relations.

It's part of W's new energy bill.
If you produce enough energy for you and your family and still have some left over you get compensation!
It's not so sad.
You've failed to list any OS specific hacking.
