Isn't that what happened when your company "upgraded" to Vista? Why not just bite the bullet, and instead of retraining for Winders7, move to a free OS?
I actually support Evolution and Thunderbird. Each has its virtues and downfalls. Evolution's integration with Exchange systems saves me from the horrors of OWA, while Thunderbird's extensibility makes it extremely flexible.
So, what does the Texas Board of Education use as a back-end for their mail system?
Wait, what was the summary again??? And why is Evolution capitalized in the article's title???
So now the CTO will be selling his inventions to people who decide to buy them with their own money, instead of selling them to captive taxpayers in poor countries. I call this a moral improvement.
(burn karma, burn) I think you mean her inventions.
Eh? Are you concerned about the speed of the light pulse in the cable? In that case let us just say that you are going to need a REALLY fancy cable to get any relevant improvements... No, I'm not concerned about the speed of the light pulse in this case. Obviously the bandwidth capabilities of fiber make it more suitable than copper for some applications. I'm just pointing out that fiber is not faster than copper. It provides more bandwidth, but the physical medium is actually slower.
Slashdotters are supposed to be a little pedantic, right?:^)
While not as fast as glass fiber, it is significantly faster than copper. Not quite, since speed =/= bandwidth. Fiber can provide more bandwidth than copper because lasers can light fiber up and turn it off quickly without a problem, whereas electrical charges on a conductor tend to hang around for a bit. But the actual delay from source to destination is faster on copper. Again, speed =/= bandwidth.
It's not all about speed. One huge advantage to 11N is the use of multipath. Signal that is considered noise in 11A/BG is used as an additional path in 11N. As mentioned in other posts, it's also about capacity. 11A/BG works great in your apartment where there is one host in the collision domain. Try covering a classroom or showfloor with hundreds of clients. Multipath + more bandwidth = better service.
Well being at 2.4ghz I'd think it would cook a turkey if you were standing next to, though I might be wrong:). Why would it cook a turkey if I were standing next to it? Might you be wrong?
*BSD is for People who Love *nix; Linux is for People who Hate Windows
I just wanted to point out that I use Linux because I like Linux. I wonder if it's possible for people in general to prefer X solely for the properties of X, instead of how it is related to Y.
Apparently it is possible, but only if you're elite and run *BSD. I've never heard of that BSD distro.
(I said "BSD distro"...stand back and duck for cover)
Dude, I know what you mean.
I did a test encode of a 1680x1050 FRAPS video at 1000kbps. H.264 was actually quite watchable (!!!) and you could even read the size-12 text in the chat windows. Xvid couldn't even get below 1400kbps or so with every frame at quantizer 31 with max motion search settings and the like. So I'd say Xvid is the opposite--good at higher bitrates, worthless at low ones.
Save some headache for yourself--if you use LVM, use ReiserFS. It's the *only FS that I know of that can be grown or shrunk real-time while mounted. If I had done a little more homework I would have avoided some of the pains of XFS.
I suspect that Samba would be largely immune, as a good chunk of it comes from the olden days of the IBM-Microsoft alliance, and thus is likely under IBM's shield. Where Samba could get into real trouble is once version 4 is production-ready and people start implementing Active Directory networks on *nix boxes. Then you'll see the shit hit the fan, because I'll wager Microsoft has stuffed its portfolio full of AD-related patents. Even if they have the patents, they may not hold up. Many similar cases (like old console gaming platforms being reverse-engineered) were granted to the defendant because their "hacking" of the firmware was necessary to provide interoperability. It may not be illegal to reverse-engineer something if it's the only way available to be able to interoperate with the system.

What a great way to spend tens of thousands of dollars! Maybe they should invest in something that would be a positive benefit for everybody, like a gym. Or maybe a daycare facility, or a food court. I've heard of some stupid business decisions, but this one is on my top ten, unless you work for Marlboro or something. I wonder what the business case rationale looked like.

yeah, and we probably shouldn't call our computers von neumann machines because it's too accurate a description, but sounds so old school.

Surely this would violate his eighth amendment rights.
Alas, I'll bring my OWN floppy hole puncher and h4x0r your logs!!! Mwahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!
Try smplayer. All the power of mplayer with a simple UI.
Make sure you untar it, too ;~)
OK, Brain. ZOT!!!!

You deserve to lose all of your data if you stuff all of your files into My Documents. Or worse, C:\WP51\DOCS\
Or if you put them inOh, wait...
