  1. Re:Since when is Google Apps an office suite? on Google Apps to Become Paid Service · · Score: 1

    Google Calendar doesn't support CalDAV. I wish it did, but it doesn't.

  2. Re:Don't forget SPARC and Motorola 68xxx and HP .. on iPhone Not Running OS X · · Score: 1

    Not true. NeXTSTEP/Openstep for SPARC/PA-RISC were native OS ports with kernel and everything.

    Openstep for Solaris was a completely different beast from OpenStep/SPARC.

    The PA-RISC version ran on some hp900s, and the SPARC version ran on SparcStation 5s and 20s (maybe 10s too, but I don't remember seeing that).

  3. Fedora Calendar/Messaging Servers on What's Fedora Up To? Ask the Project Leader · · Score: 1

    Has there been any more thought on bringing out the other products acquired from Netscape? I'd love to be able to deploy the Calendar and Messaging Servers.

  4. Re:MSAV anyone? on IE Holes Not Microsoft's Fault, Says Bill · · Score: 1

    They licensed Central Point Anti-Virus, back in the Win3.x/DOS days. It kind of sucked.

    It was worse than "kind of sucked". I used that hunk of junk for a few months way back in 1993, until of course a virus not on its (seemingly un-updatable) virus list infected my PC. This is one of the reasons I ended up switching to OS/2 a few months later, and Linux (just before kernel 1.0 came up) a few months after that.

  5. Re:The children be danmed on Supreme Court Rules Against Anti-Porn Law · · Score: 1

    I was just surprised that Thomas differed with Scalia, but then this was a decision about porn, which is a cause he's concerned about...

  6. Re:Pearl Harbor and CASE on Fiber To The Dorm Room · · Score: 2, Informative

    At the time, Case's network was a flat topology (i.e. no routing at all) - this made for some difficult times with thousands of machines. Another issue was that the various edge devices that Fore/Marconi tried to get us to use for ATM-Ethernet bridging couldn't really cope with the flat topology either - there was one particular device that would crash every night at about the same time- I managed to figure out that it was HP JetDirect auto-discovery that was attempting to ARP the entire campus's address range...

  7. how is this different? on SBC CWA Strike Imminent · · Score: 2, Insightful
    As long as the strike is taking place, orders for new service and repair of existing services with SBC will be delayed as only non-union workers and temps will be around to complete the work.
    How the hell is this different from business as usual from SBC? I've had a terrible track record with delayed/outright missed service calls from them even when they're NOT on strike.
  8. Re:So THAT'S why Beta lost... on Online Porn - The Technology Testbed? · · Score: 1

    I don't suppose you can produce a cite for this 'fact'. Lots of people claim this, but I have a whole box of Beta Pr0n(original cases and everything) that seems to disprove it.

    In Dreamweaver 2004 MX, it does.

  10. Re:IBM vs Canopy development? on SCO Invoices For Unix Licenses Get Closer · · Score: 1

    > Note from a quick Google: Ralph J. Yarro is another active memeber of the Church of Latter Day Saints. Members of the LDS in Utah? That's unpossible.

  11. Re:I read the article... on RIAA, This Is Earth, Please Come In! · · Score: 1

    The Cure were never on Factory! They were on Fiction. Perhaps you were thinking of New Order?

  12. Re:So... on 16,000 CWRU Computers Getting Gigabit Ethernet · · Score: 1

    Some combination of:
    10 mbps shared (on ancient cabletron hubs)
    10 mbps switched(in a tiny number of places)
    100 mbps switched(some very recent areas)
    155 mbps ATM(most everywhere)

  13. Re:Is this ADDITIONAL fiber? Fiber since 1992 or s on 16,000 CWRU Computers Getting Gigabit Ethernet · · Score: 1

    The fiber started in 1989, before there was Category 5 UTP(or Cat 3, for that matter). The choice was fiber or thinwire. You decide :-)

    So now we're moving from the same switches that were put in in 1989(hubs, really) and the somewhat newer ATM stuff to all new gigabit goodness...

  14. Re:The War On America on H2K2 Wrapup · · Score: 2, Informative

    Unfortunately, Fair Use is a defense, which typically requires going to court. There is a precedent set in Campbell vs. Acuff-Rose (aka the 2 Live Crew "Pretty Woman" case,) where parody was accepted as Fair Use by the Supreme Court.
