That is the coolest system I have ever seen. My only concern with it has to be the fact that the default config is set with an ATA-100 drive. I think though that the savvy tech people purchasing these systems will know enough to get SATA in place of it.
Yes, I believe you are. From what I understand, Gateway and IBM are also Intel only shops now. Gateway used to sell AMD boxes, but gave that up a few years ago due to market pressure, and I'm sure massive Intel discounts.
If I had modpoints, I'd give them to you for the last 2 paragraphs of your post - very informative to someone who has never viewed the code like yourself, and quite possibly explains why sendmail keeps having problems like this.
Maybe I'm ignorant here, but I'm not surprised by the fact that they can't play GTA in prison... I'm surprised by the fact they have video games at ALL in prison. This is news to me. Maybe I should go rob somebody so I can get free food and housing, and now PS2 games in the slammer...
Check out the new Ford Escapes that have either gone on the market already, or will soon - they are hybrids SUVs, I just don't know about the 4wd thing, but I would have to assume they have that as an option.
You say cheap shot, but I agree. Java,.NET, and any other programming language that runs by relying on a "runtime environment" is definitely going to eat up cpu time. Yes, it's easier to program with, but it's the reason hardware needs to be faster and faster all the time.
Yes, that's a great idea about keeping port 25 blocked for all machines except the mail servers. Just think - if everybody did that, this worm would have been dead right out the door.
The best fix I have found so far is to analyze all those "fake" messages, appearing to come from you to other people, and even the messages flooding into some of your user's inboxes. I found that that I was getting about 200+ messages an hour, to several mailboxes. The good thing I discovered about these is that they call came from the same cable modem-based ip address. So, the easy and obvious solution - add the ip to/etc/hosts.deny. Also, add the ip to your firewall to get denied, and to/etc/mail/access. Even if you don't use Linux (sendmail more specifically) for your mail server, you can also block incoming traffic in Exchange 2K. We did that as well. Soon after I did that, the generic bounce back messages stopped, and all was well again.
That depends - are concert sales up because the tickets are cheaper by chance? I have no idea, and how in fact do you know that they are up? And no, I don't boycott stores that prosecute shoplifters because the shoplifters actually stole something. I have yet to see the RIAA get a warrant to search someones house to verify that they in fact stole a song by determining if they own the CD or not. They don't even care if the person owns the CD or not, which is the whole basis for their case - that something was stolen, or lost. If the person already owns the music, them downloading it is not illegal, it's as simple as that, no matter what the RIAA wants you to believe.
Exactly, that statement is very true - I had a buddy who worked for a company there in tower 2. He worked offsite in Iowa, and one day couldn't vpn in to continue his programming. Turned on the news, and you know the rest. The problem was, he had all his java source on their servers. Sure, they backed it up daily and had an offsite backup in the other tower... The bad news was he lost all his work, and a lot of coworkers. The good news is that the company survived, and simply contracted him on for another 2 years to complete the project. He had to start from scratch, but gets paid more as a result. I'm sure insurance covered the companies losses.
... are the reasons they aren't selling much. If they keep suing people, more and more people will realize the RIAA is evil, and boycott like a lot of us have been doing for years. I have purchased one CD this year, and the only reason I did it is because I love the group 311, and I wanted to support their latest offering, not to mention I enjoy their music and wanted to have it. But, there have been about 20 other discs I normally would have purchased this year, but didn't for 2 reasons:
1) money is extremely tight, and I certainly don't need to be spending it on crap music that I may or may not like.
I'm a complete newbie when it comes to understanding the whole ".NET" concept, so... my question is, are.Net applications ever compiled so they can be distributed? What I'm asking is, if someone wrote an app in.NET, or C#, whatever it's called, can it be compiled and distributed to people running windows OSes? Or is it like Java, where you need a runtime environment?
Because I always use a mouse the same way, this will work great.... Not. I have many different computers, all with different types of mice and software. Trackballs, eraser-head laptops, trackpad laptops, and don't even get me started about different operating systems and the software they use. This is not going to work for many reasons, and I hope business realize this sooner than later.
Yes, and when the next major buffer overflow for a various piece of software gets found, you'd have no way to fix it, so you'd have to throw away the device. Scary.
Nah, a buy out is giving in. Litigate the hell out of them, until they are bankrupt. Each major US company that currently supports linux could each take a whack and tie them up in court for a year a piece, or something fun like that.
This is WAR. Spammers will stoop to any level to get their crap into people's mailboxes, and now the blacklists are giving into their guerilla tactics - I say keep fighting, eventually they will figure out where the attack is coming from, and shut the damn thing down. We must never give up fighting spam, at any cost.
Yes, but with more and more crap being thrown into space, you have to wonder about the very real possibility that things will start to run into each other and cause massive problems down the road...
I don't see how this got modded as a Troll - I think it's hilarious, and probably true at the same time. Imagine what kind of a gig these bastards have, being able to exploit the unforunate state the internet is in these days with rampant M$ viruses and such. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if their cartel actually paid to have stuff like SoBig created to increase revenue. I've definitely heard of stranger things happening...
Yeah, that is true - the game play itself is a bit lacking in Road Rage. I loved Simpson's arcade like you said as well, so I'm hoping for a newer version of that type of game with this GTA port, but we'll see I guess.
I agree with you - simpson's skateboarding and simpson's wrestling both completely sucked. However, I crack up everytime I play Simpson's Road Rage - the sayings they put in that game are hilarious, so if this GTA combo game is like that one with decent grafixx, I'm gonna get it.
No, I didn't read your previous post - mine was based on the fact that I owned 3 crappy cards:) But, I'm glad I'm not alone in the fact that their products never worked for me. And yes, I'm beginning to agree that the GameCube is probably just fine, and works great. But, it would still be a tough pill for me to swallow (spending money on something ATI had a hand in) after how they treated me before.

That's good news - I generally like IBM, but until I get can get a new thinkpad with an AMD cpu in it, I'm not buying a new one.

You spent 3 grand on a CAD card so your brother could play Dark Age of Camelot? I think not.

Ha ha, damn straight! If the big guys can manipulate elections with money, we can do it with hacking...

Yeah, not mention why were the appropriate patches not applied as well? For a system this important, I would think it would be a priority.
