Alan Cox (born 1968) is a programmer heavily involved in the development of the Linux kernel since its early days (1991). Whilst employed on the campus of University of Wales, Swansea, he installed a very early version of Linux on one of the machines belonging to the university computer society. This was one of the first Linux installations on a busy network, and revealed many bugs in the networking code. Cox fixed many of these bugs, and went on to rewrite much of the networking subsystem. He then became one of the main developers and maintainers of the whole kernel.
I dont know if Youtube's system is just slow,but its dissapointing that youtube video doesnt yet show the number of clicks from slashdot on "Sites linking to this video".
Here in India I use Vonage's VoIP @ the lowest bit rate setting of 32 kbps (on a 256kbps internet)& still the voice quality is better than ordinary landline.(& its up 24x7)
Add to that there is no 1 sec timelag-delay in conversations through VoIP on calls to US .
196 days.. Thats cool. I have been running XP on 650Mhz PIII machine with SD RAM. Everything is fine,except those rare times when I would like to compile a movie in windows movie maker,it doesnt happen well.
"Wired columnist Bruce Schneier has an article up called 'Quickest Patch Ever', about a patch that was issued within three days to fix a vulnerability in Windows Digital Rights Management (DRM)."
When the summary says "Within three days" they mean "three days after it was reported in engadget".
Coz,FairUSE4Wm was released on August 19th in the forum.Microsoft patched it on August 28th.So 9 Days.
Sony makes a whole fuckload more money from their products than the MPAA gets from suing grandmothers, and that sure didn't stop them from one of the biggest PR blunders by a tech company in recent memory.
FYI - Sony has been making loss in the recent years - until this year.
Probably thats why he put this disclamier on Flickr for the car pic:
- Taken at 12:24 AM on August 17, 2006; cameraphone upload by ShoZu
this is apparently a picture from another web site, streetfire. I didn't upload it to my photostream, I am not sure how it got here.
Assuming that phone does actually have the ability to post pictures to flickr, The pics of the thief & his friends could have also got posted at Flickr - if only the owner had'nt disabled the software.
The media companies asked us to do this and said they don't want any of their high definition content to play in x32 at all, because of all of the unsigned malware that runs in kernel mode can get around content protection, so we had to do this
Neither format is selling well or at the level I had expected. I had expected early adopters to step up and other retailers have had the same experience
Yea.Early adopter.They expect them to buy a player each - One to play HD-DVD;Another to play Blu-Ray; And then they will keep the user guessing as to which one will become the standard.
They created the confusion.They are paying for it.Why should consumers too?
In the eyes of the ISP, they're selling you a 3Mb pipe for burst traffic, so your email or web page loads really fast, not so that you can saturate your pipe 24/7. I'm not saying I agree with that, but that's what the ISP has priced things at.
Know what? P2P,Bittorrent are some of the biggest reasons why more and more people sign up for internet and shell out $$.Thats why ISP's allow them.They know it. Its in their own interest that they wont turn away those customers.
but if scientists decide Pluto isn't a planet, then it's not a planet.. I expect my child's school to teach them that.
Thats where the problem is - if scientists decide Pluto isnt a planet.
I accept schools should keep up with what science agrees as correct .
Problem in this case is,the scientists you refer to,are themselves in a dilemma.Why should schools follow that,if scientists cant sort it among themselves first?
Whether or not Pluto is recognised by these asscociations, Schools will continue to teach that the solar system has ine planets and Pluto is the ninth planet.
They wont be changing that basic lesson everytime there is a fight in astromy associations.

What are you talking? Notorious?Somehow IBM thinkpad's dominate the corporate world (& I really dont know why.I guess the 'IBM' tag does it.).
As for Dell,come on.Dont joke.They explode as well.

Yes.PC133 SDRAM is available and I recently bought one.But the question is,would you want to use such a machine.
Even the short link you posted again takes to http://www.amazon.com/b/?&node=16261631 only.
Wonder why Amazon doesnt want to publicize a direct link.
The story should have linked to the Amazon Unbox.Anyway,here it is:

The reason is Fairuse4WM version 1.2 gets around the microsoft patch. http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/02/fairuse4wm-peep s-stay-one-step-ahead-of-microsoft

Dont take them so seriously.These guys usually recommend the highest config hardware available.
If Quad core Cpu was available for desktop now,then thats what these guys would recommend for "Best Optimal Performance"!

Instructions for posting to Flickr from Cameraphone: http://www.flickr.com/get_the_most.gne#cameraphone
From Nokia to Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/nokia/upload/n93/
From that page,it seems users have to manually upload the pictures to Flickr.I dont find a option to AUTOMATICALLY post every new picture.Thats quite interesting
Assuming that phone does actually have the ability to post pictures to flickr, The pics of the thief & his friends could have also got posted at Flickr - if only the owner had'nt disabled the software.
