They better have an opt out for this "service" because if i start getting charged for the text messages i receive i will look into starting a class action suit.... for a lot, my time is quite valuable.
yes, i am also using wep-128, through knetworkmanager. i like that app better than windows zeroconf because it accepts passphrases instead of haveing to put the whole hex key in.
Haven't you heard of the incredible "hack" known as ndiswrapper? i am replying on my laptop with builtin broadcom airforce one 54g. as far as i know there is no support for broadcom chipsets in ANY non-windows OS
i beleive it was in the article for the "hack my mac" story here on slashdot where there were a few macs in some of the zombie nets that one of the security sites referenced in the article.
you have to remember, people are stupid, they click on anything and everything. it doesn't matter if it is a mac or a linux box or a windows box... it all comes down to the user. Take an idiot and sit them down in front of a computer that the best security techs have " idiot-proofed"... how long do you think it will be before it gets infected. apple, bsd, linux have security threats found everyday so does windows... you just hear about it more often.
ahh well enough rambling, point is though that there are infected macs out there.
What, is stealing someone's identity this year's new black/bipolar? It's not a fucking mental illness.
Are you saying bi-polar isn't a mentel illness? strange, since my psychiatrist seems to beleive it is. and the prescriptions i take for my bi-polar help ALOT.
But since you don't have it it's not real huh?....jackass.
Let me clarify:
It wouldn't be very nice to have a plasma needle break while your teeth are being worked on
There is no actual needle being used here, you are forcing high frequency voltage down a piece of tungsten ( the positive ) and it is bridging a small gap to a negtively charged ring clip. this then ionises the air around the arc, then you use a high pressure gas to blow the ionised air down a guidance tube and out of the guidance tip. the "needle" they refer to is the tiny plasma point that comes out of the guidance tip. to see what i mean go to any welding supply store and ask to see a demonstration of a plasma cutter, it is pretty much the same thing... just a lot larger scale.
Actually you ONLY authorize MS to read from / install WGA if you use windows update... if you choose to utilize
the Internet gaming or update features within the

hardware, and software information to implement the

HA!! as if schooling makes a difference.
1. he was smart enough to run the mob for how long? i had a boss that had 10-12 years of managment training and several degrees, the stupid S.O.B. couldn't run a rabbit hutch... he had no people skills whatsoever.
2. you would be surprised at the number of people who can't do the crypto-quips in the news papers. Remember kids, not everyone is a geek... there is a whole world outside/. and computers.
dude, it's called a pocketPC, they do all of that out of the box (except maybe the ajax, but the opera browser for PPC is free and should support that) i have one of the big clunky DECENT PPC's HP hx2755 and it still fit in a pocket tee-shirt without a problem. it should fit in a suit pocket easily too. with the emeil though... you might need a third party app, i know you can set pocket outlook up to sync over wifi/usb on demand, but i don't use my pda for email so i can't tell you if it supports imap or not.
who says it is not natures way of population control? to pu it in slash-terms
get $population density; if $population density =
think of it in microsofting terms "it's not a bug it's a feature" in other words reboot and live with it.
and just so you know... as a wiccan i am offended by closed minded fools noooo, i am not talking about you
hmmm, i usually wear blue jean/ dress crap once and a while, it also fits in pocket tee-shirts... basicly anything comfortable it will fit easily in ( I.E. not skin-tight clothes)
he static size of today's PDAs is simply too large. It doesn't readily slide into a normal pocket, it seems clumsy to carry one around with you unless you have a purse or some kind of carrying case.
hmmmm, what ARE you smoking? i have one of the bulkier pda's the hp hx2755 and it fits in my pockets just fine ( smaller than a wallet with some biz. cards in it even) personally i would be lost without my pda. i write email, take notes, play solitair in boring meetings/waiting in line, view photos from both SD cards and CF cards from my cameras on it and much much more. i wouldn't trade the bulk for less features, i LIKE bluetooth and 802.11b connectivity with no external cards. plus the biometric fingerprint reader keeps my data safe (even after a FULL reset you can't use the pda without the fingers used to secure it in the first place). that said i am still waiting for the linux port to be completed from handhelds.org, this pda is faster than my old laptop, has more ram (and i am talking about program running ram not program installation ram) and deosn't weigh nearly as much. the pda market is ESSENTIAL to testing out smaller and less powerhungry components to be used in their bigger cousins. that said, now i am off to poke around at some stuff and see if i can get win98 to boot from an image on my CF card.
and if you like having multiple desktops there is an XP powertoy to manage virtual desktops(up to four) it does the usual, apps open on one desktop do not show up in the others ( saves a LOT of screen realestate) also there is an option to preview all four desktops at once to see wich one the app you want is on ( havn't seen this on my linux boxes, anyone know if this is possible with kde?) and someone mentioned before the "open command window here" shell integration is a nice toy for changing permissions A.K.A "file attributes"
Virtual desktop have been there since day 1 (if you want them to appear on all desktops, make the windows sticky), preview also, but I'm guessing the mac-like functionality you're talking about exists in xgl. Also you can config the file manager in KDE so it automatically has a terminal following your graphical browsing of folders, just click on the link box down right (if I remember correctly, because I use XFCE).
what i was talking about is a feature in the MS virtual desktop manager power toy, i can click a button and it goes full screen showing screenshots of all four desktops and the apps open on them. i haven't found a way to do this in kde or any other WM in linux yet, but it is a nice feature... i may have to send in a feature request to the kde devels.
in kde 3.5.1 (and 3.4x) you can right click in MOST linux folders and select >actions>open terminal here, or just hit F4

think with your brain...not your butt.
Try selling you copy of Windows XP. Same thing, it's just software, but it's illegal to resell a used copy of XP
I can legally sell off the media that i bought, as long as i DON'T sell the serial key for my licensing
oooh, motorcycle riding programmers...sounds cool. but how are you gonna interface with the harly davidson?

yes, something like that :-) thanks for pointing this app out. i am going to try it out.
funny, my LG has a 1.3 mega pixel camera in it...and i can take pics up to 1280x960, you know twice what you said pre 2 MP phones can take.
