Please correct me if I am wrong, as I probably am, but would like to have this explained to me. Why couldn't all the emails be stored as plain text in a MySQL database with either a web interface (php?) or an application written in an interpreted language (Java or Ruby)? Does that make sense? Is there something I am missing?
actually i think ChoasDiscordOS is too cool of a name for such a crappy (implied OS), and i doubt that they would use GIMP (becuase its "open source" ie, better) im pretty sure they use Paint...
No, I don't care how good you can multitask, no one is perfect, and that one day that someone gets a cell phone call that causes them to become really distracted or highly emotional (death in the family for example) is the day that I don't want to be near them. I'm for no cell phones in cars.
I find the easiest way to avoid 404's to your home page, is to use a special character in your links, "/", somehow it always makes it back to the homepage...
I agree with your point about the difficulty of upgrading the kernel compared to upgrading a Windows Kernel (ie. impossible). As for the article being fair to Windows, what did the Windows admins have to do?
That said, on the Windows side, it turned out that no upgrades of IIS were needed (except for patches) and SQL Server was upgraded to SP4 as part of patch application.
WOW! That's EASILY as hard as upgrading a whole linux system. In fact, that kind of Windows updates are the kinds I don't even go to the clients location to do, even the most computer "stupid" person can be told easily to click on "Windows Update" and to answer 'YES' to everylittle popup, and then click Install all Updates.
So yes, the linux admins had a hard job to do, but for the sake of being fair, the Windows admins didn't have a hard job, so that alone is biased.
THAT is crazy, I did NOT read that article either, but using pspVideo9 to create iPod videos is something that I have been wondering about for a while, and amazingly, I was right! It is possible. Awesome, free (LEGAL, as apposed to stealing QT7Pro) ways to make iPod vids.
Maybe I really am crazy, but the article mentioned Quicktime Pro 7, and "various other encoders" as a means to create iPod playable video. The iPod plays H.264 Mpeg 4 video, would pspVideo9 not work just as well as QT Pro? If you encode a video into a 320x240 resolution clip, with a bitrate not higher than the 768KB per second, then wouldn't it work? I cannot test this idea yet, as my 60GB 5th gen iPod hasn't arrived yet, but it seems likely to work. Correct me if I am wrong. And also do you think VBR H.264 would be a problem for the new iPods?
My school is about 90% Mac right now, we have one Windows computer lab, and a few teachers are on MS, but other than that, its a Mac school. Our site is run off a Dual G5, most of the teachers have iBook G4s, etc. Come to think of it, our whole district is Mac for the most part, only a few Windows mixed in here and there. Meanwhile our neighbor town/district is ENTIRELY MS, and it shows;)
Security still depends on the user of the software, even the most secure system can be opened WIDE up if someone chooses (or chooses without knowing) to make it so. You can have everything encrypted, but if your password is easily guessable then your encryption is weak. This goes with the thought that "A system is only as secure as it's weakest point."
The PS2 is the biggest reason that DVDs took off in Japan, and is the same reason that the PS2 killed off the Dreamcast. If everyone has a Blu-Ray player, why not buy Blu-Ray movies?
I want a phone to phone to computer adapter once I got that service, only problem is that even firewire 800 would be to slow... maybe phone to gigabit ethernet adapter. Who woulda thought that your phone would beat out your computer on the internet.
No, we are running the schools site off a Dual 2GHz G5 with 2gb RAM because its the best machine we got, it just happens that it also is used for Dreamweaver, of which it works great for at the same time as its webserving.
Its not rocket science, but for the technically inadept, and the Apple only fans at my school. I was saying OS X works just fine for us, and speed isn't that big a deal in this case.
Linux is awesome, I'm not denying that, but its OS X server that matters, even if it may be slower, It's great to use as a school website server, and as a workstation at the same time. Not to mention that Server Admin, and a couple of the other applications for OS X server management make it a breeze to keep up to date, and running properly, as well as for initial configuration. Linux just couldn't do that for us. (read, not all super technical people dealing with the server next year).

At least then the Starbucks regulars would have known which was the better processor...
Don't worry about it, they're just Metal Gear fans. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_gear_SOLID http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Gear_ACID
I found Waldo! I WIN! I didn't cheat either... ;) funfun
You mean spending money was a requirement? I guess F/OSS is out... maybe Oracle would be interested...
I would think so, if not, I could image it would be easy to export all the info from the database into a new database/technology.

Is it against the rules to mirror files like the Nessus 3.0 release on a site like this (to avoid the /. effect)?

I know the iPod's capabilities, what I am asking about is whether or not the video encoded by pspVideo9 is the same format of video that QT7Pro makes.

I SEE IT! It's the "Slashdot effect"! And it IS a Linux game, because no one on /. uses anything other than linux anyways.
If I hack my blu-ray player to not communicate with it's HQ, will my device be able to be remotely disabled?
