For example, the API that allows for custom menus and icons on the right side of the top menu bar, next to the clock, prohibits all but Apple-approved menu items.
Really? Then what about ASM, which I cannot get by without...?? BTW, yeah it works with Jag.
You're an idiot. You are mistaking these mice for another older model. You know.. Just because they look alike doesn't mean they are.
WTF??
How the hell do you know, Anonymous Troll?? You been following me around while I do my shopping or something? So, I got a cordless, optical mouse w/charger from a popular chainstore & you tell me I'm mistaken?? Get a grip, man!
I'm in Ireland, FWIW. Not only does Lidl sell meeses, but also laptopses, optical keyboardses & dodgi-cams. It's also a popular dumping ground for cheap and nasty Windoze software...
Every Thursday is 'Hardware day' where they try to flog all manner of weird stuff. People queue outside when an interesting product comes up & when the doors open a feeding frenzy ensues.

it is telling you that the error is with the OLE Database interface/provider in connection with the ODBC driver.
The error number is useful for programs to reference.
Well, yes. It's self-evident. Very useful if you're a web programmer but absolutely useless if you're just some punter who want's to look at the site.
IMHO, it's a sign of a badly-programmed site front-end, hence my comment....
I can't imagine why this merits the front page. Our local chain store was selling these last year, along with the fruit & veg, for 35. I'm not making this up, either.
The link has also been slashdotted which makes the above story even more cryptic. BTW, why does it say;
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
error '80040e4d'
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Too many client tasks.
/articles.asp, line 107
... instead of something sensible??? WTF is error '80040e4d' - MicroSoft's special error code for a good reaming from the/. crowd?
There are other benefits for Hewlett-Packard. The Itanium allows the company to eliminate both of its current 64-bit chips -- the H.P. PA-RISC and Compaq Alpha.
Shouldn't that be the DEC Alpha? So quickly these things are forgotten.... I'm still waiting for the day they start talking about the Compaq VAX!
Interesting system comparisons ..

The 6.1 MacOS X kernel update only came out a few days ago by Software Update. Boxed Jaguar is still only 6.0.1, as is the latest Darwin release. The above references are confusing as they refer to both 6.0.1 and 6.1
One Apple developer on the darwin-developer mailing list hinted strongly that 6.1 Darwin would be out shortly.
The Visual Studio IDE integrates everything wonderfully, integrating a really slick editor, a world-class debugger, and a high-quality compiler.
ProjectBuilder works a whole lot better. It's free (beer) and is based around a world-class debugger (gdb 5.1) and a high-quality compiler (gcc 3.1). InterfaceBuilder's UI & layout beats anything VS has to offer, etc, etc
Also found this excellent article on Wired, going over the whole Ellis/CESG thing, including an intriguing meeting between Diffie and Ellis back in the '80s...
It was invented way before either Diffie/Hellman/Merkle, as you said.
Back in the '60s, it had been invented at GCHQ by James Ellis for use by the British Secret Service. Unfortunately, due to the Official Secrets Act, Ellis was forbidden to publish or discuss his discovery.
The organisation that Ellis worked for, CESG, are on-line - you can check out their site here.
Here's a link to a page explaining their input into Public Key Crypto.
In 1973, inspired by the pioneering work of James Ellis a few years earlier, Cliff Cocks of CESG invented the first practical method for what we now call public key cryptography (PKC). The technology was subsequently discovered independently and developed into RSA; it was not until 1997 that it was publicly revealed that CESG had got there first!
I'd first heard about Ellis' work in Simon Singh's book, The Code Book. James Ellis seemed to be a very quiet, modest person. It's a shame that his name isn't to the forefront when we think of Public-Key crypto. Credit where it's due....
Replying to the senders (the From: address) won't work, 'coz it's forged. Klez pulls email addresses from the victim's address book/inbox and uses them for the 'from'. You have to look deeper into the headers to find the culprit.

Granted people in Europe and North America have more money in general, but now internet is becoming so cheap that it is pennies per hour (sadly only dial up at best).
Not in my part of Europe (Ireland), unfortunately. Dialup is 2.40/hr at peak time. All there is is analog or ISDN (and a lucky few hundred DSL folks)
Ireland sucks when it comes to internet infrastructure (There's barely broadband available) and the phone system sucks (I'm on a multiplexed line, so I get 16.200bps dialup). And there is no such thing as 'uncapped' or 'flat rate'.
You mean you don't have Eircom's wonderful 'High Speed' option - 2x64kB ISDN b-channels?? The pinnacle of modern technology!
(I'd laugh only I'm being gouged by Eircom in paying a premium for their sucky ISDN. And they have the audacity to label it 'high speed'. Geez....)
Asia-Pacific will have more Internet users than either Europe or North America by the end of 2002, according to a new forecast from eMarketer.
The study indicates that there will be more than 180 million Internet users in Asia-Pacific by the end of the year, compared with 175.7 million users in Europe and 167.7 million in North America.
There may be a significant difference between 'users on-line' and the amount of surfing individuals. Thanks to our punitivetelco here in Ireland, I'm severly limited as to my on-line time as our dialup charges are metered per-minute. *And* we've yet to get decent broadband! There may be more users on-line per-capita (I doubt that, too) but they're not on-line as long & thus not hitting as many URLs.
Long-winded, but do you see my point?

Yeah, Aldi is good for that kinda stuff. I picked up a Medion 15" flat screen for 299 a few months ago. Excellent quality, no complaints.
Ouch - that's harsh!

Internet Explorer is -- bar none -- the best browser today.
Nope! OmniWeb beats it IMHO.
Office is so capable that even LaTeX can't compare anymore, and Office has more functionality than Corel and any of the open-source efforts combined!
i.e, it's obfuscated, it's over-featured, it's bloated.

And these are all availble at reasonable prices.
And these are all available .... free! ;-)
Sorry, gotta be said.
