Cygwin means ported code - someone actually went through each POSIX utility and created a .exe binary that runs natively under Windows. Cygwin provides an emulation DLL called cygwin1.dll, but only for those ported binaries. Lina is full-blown emulation, which means you take a Linux binary utility that nobody ever thought of porting to Win32, and you FTP it to a Windows machine, you run it on top of Lina and Lina intercepts any Linux system calls attempted by that program and does them itself. _________________________________ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

I recently discovered https://www.essential-freebies.de/board/, a site dedicated to (as the name implies) freeware. Don't let the fact that the whole discussion is in German scare you away, what they usually do is copy/paste the English description of the freebie along with the link, then they go on to discuss the software in German. I googled for: site:essential-freebies.de DVD and at the top of the list was this DVDflick software.

Intel and others plan to release a new version of the ubiquitous Universal Serial Bus technology in the first half of 2008, a revamp the chipmaker said will make data transfer rates more than 10 times as fast by adding fiber-optic links alongside the traditional copper wires. https://www.cnet.com/news/usb-3-0-brings-optical-connection-in-2008/ Intel showed off prototype USB 3.0 connectors and an add-in card at Intel Developer Forum.

Lina Software released the source code for LINA under the GPL v2. LINA enables Linux binaries to run with native look and feel on Windows, Mac, and Linux, without recompiling. This release, along with the launch of the community website http://www.openlina.org/, invites developers around the world to participate in the growth of this important technology. This is basically a reverse WINE. They should have called it ENIW. http://openlina.org/news.html _________________________________ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

Finally! Now somebody please wake me up when Google takes something out of beta. Anything. Something. Seriously. "I did not, have, operating, system, relations with that woman (Miss Ubuntu)." Google is just going to continue to introduce programs to basically be at least linked to all of the programs that you will need for your desktop and then when they get the desktop saturated with their programs and programs from companies that they are affiliated with, then they will release an OS with all of those programs. They will want their market entry OS to be a Windows killer. "Goobuntu" would break Linux open to a more mainstream level, which would make NYSE-listed Google a far more interesting company to invest in.

Well, Media Defender going bankrupt won't make the problem they represent go away. The same people will just quickly regroup under a different corporate name. Money talks.

Well, I'm not going to crunch any numbers, but I am going to explain the underlying physical phaenomena in layman's terms.Seen as a single-frequency sound consists of just a wave like any other wave (with its peaks and troughs), if you have two such waves (tones) going on at the same time, sooner or later their peaks are going to happen at the same time. That's when they reinforce each other, and the audible effect is a short pulse. After that, they continue interfering with each other until the first wave's peak coincides with the second wave's trough. At this point, of course, the two sounds are going to cancel each other out.This successive reinforcing and canceling each other out of the two waves therefore happens with a certain frequency, which in your case is 8 Hz (24 beats in 3 seconds).Maybe I'm explaining the obvious, I don't know, but if you think of the problem in these qualitative terms, the numerical solution immediately jumps out at you.

Media Defender, a notorious anti-piracy gang working for the MPAA, RIAA and several independent media production companies, launched in february 2007 their very own video upload service called miivi.com. The sole purpose of the site was to trap people into uploading copyrighted material, and bust them for doing so. MediaDefender has continually been criticized for its 'bait and switch' tactics that border on the edge of entrapment. Thousands of internal emails were recently leaked from the company, some of which linked them to projects they previously denied involvement in, while others reinforce the speculation that MiiVi.com was indeed an anti-piracy site. So far there has been no official response from the company. The internal email leak goes on to discuss everything from 'damage control' tactics (for when certain projects were to be eventually linked to MediaDefender) along with upcoming projects, problems in and around the office, and even what employees were going to have for lunch. Someone went through the effort of converting those e-mails to HTML and putting the whole thing online: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Also see: https://torrentfreak.com/mediadefender-emails-leaked-070915/ The origins of Miivi.com were discovered by a blogger who looked up the site's domain registration information. After news traveled throughout the blogosphere, the site was immediately shut down. MediaDefender, however, denied allegations that it was trying to convict anyone. EDIT: They were also providing information to the government as part of a secret project. Article: "Leaked Media Defender e-mails reveal secret government project": http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ The hackers who did this were sitting on all these e-mails for a while. In fact, the conference call that was also leaked recently was the result of an e-mail dated about a month ago revealing the phone number and pass code for their teleconferencing network. Hot-link to the leaked recording of the conference call: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ New York attorney's office and MediaDefender discuss the security of their email-server. Whilst there is some initial confusion as to where the leak may have originated, they eventually write it off as some technical problem.

I am a firm believer in evolution. I have had many discussions with creationists, and the question that always makes their heads explode is: "Why do children look like their parents? How do you explain genetic inheritance?" By the way my favorite picture to show to religious fanatics to rile them up and make their heads explode with confusion is: Irony and humor about religion are lost on most Christian fundamentalists, but sometimes someone will reply with: "There is no god, therefore your atheism doesn't exist."

ReactOS is an effort to create a Free Software replacement for Microsoft Windows that is compatible with existing hardware and software. Changes in this release include kernel improvements (bringing it close to XP), improved stability and hardware support, better compatibility and application support, usability improvements and a package manager. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Why would people use this instead of Windows? Simple. It's more lightweight, but can run all their software. When ReactOS is complete, they'll be able to run up-to-date Windows apps without upgrading their hardware and paying for a new OS. It's even compatible with drivers for Windows. Once it reaches 1.0, it will be ready for home use, it will have a plethora of software and drivers, and a familiar interface. Unfortunately this has been in development forever, development is very slow and it's very likely that once it is finished Microsoft will sue them into non-existence. If you try it on Virtual Box, the virtual machine thinks it's Windows 2000.

I remember reading somewhere that they have good quality documentaries. Would you agree / disagree?

Microsoft has begun patching files on Windows XP and Vista without users' knowledge, even when the users have turned off auto-updates. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Sounds like these were updates limited to updating Windows Update itself (I like the sound of "Windows Update is keeping its Update system up to date"). The question is, if these were just minor changes unrelated to Windows, just the Update application, why do it under the radar? The whole point of Windows Update is the clear transparency of what is going on. Microsoft is under no legal obligation to tell their users about updates, It's kind of like a courtesy to their users. There doesn't seem to be any logical explanation why they would make something like this intentionally secretive. The most rational explanation would be the incompetence / tone-deaf cluessness of one division in Microsoft just being too lazy / uncaring about something they figured no one else would care about or even bother noticing, rather than some devious underhanded sneaky secret updating Master Plan. Turning off Automatic Updates isn't enough. You have to disable BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) and Automatic Update services from services.msc to solve the issue. There's probably something in the EULA that covers this as being a legit practice. By agreeing to Microsoft's EULA, you essentially agree to "rent" your computer from Microsoft. Don't like it? Don't use Windows. People who work in networking would get ticked about this. If Microsoft decides that they want to update part of the OS, no matter what it is, but does not inform anyone that they are doing it, security teams that notice the activity will stop a legitimate service and spend valuable resources following a false positive. That's a waste of their time, energy, and can lead to a "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" situation where certain activity that is undocumented is assumed to be legitimate because Microsoft has done so in the past, yet it is actually a security breach. For those who work in the security field, this is a similar slap in the face that desktop users get when some company installs "root kit" like software. There is yet another downside to the silent updates. The patching process could awaken your laptop from standby mode at some wee hour during the night while stored in an insulated laptop bag. Because the update process fails to put the computer back into standby after the installation, the laptop's battery will be exhausted by the time you discover the problem later the next day. Other than that, the fact that the computer is running in a bag for so long could damage the machine and might even pose a fire hazard. I don't expect Microsoft to be perfect (congratulations Bill for managing people's quality expectations level towards the low end). But because of Microsoft's very human mistakes with some previous updates, a lot of people understandably want to do their homework before installing every patch Microsoft offers. If the company's own software settings can't be trusted to provide that level of control, users will continue to seek alternatives.

Some of our fellow Ubuntu users are putting together software to automatically detect and install wireless drivers for a variety of wireless cards and they need our help. If your wireless connection is working, please run the command and post the result on the Ubuntu forums thread linked to below. This is the only deterrent to Linux on many laptops. https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=547444 This was never actually meant to be a Ubuntu thing. It doesn't matter which distribution you're using; running that command and posting the output would be a great help. It'll be written in Python and licensed under the GPL. The authors intend to contact several distributions if word doesn't get out automatically. The best way to get wireless working in Linux distros is of course to get open source drivers written, committed to the kernel and distributed in the distros. This is happening but is a slow process without specifications, so things like this application will be useful to some in the short term. _________________________________ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

Linux is in great danger at the moment. That danger started when Microsoft cut their deal with Novell. Many open source advocates recognized this and there was a hue and cry over it. This furor has died down to a large extent and apathy has set in. To combat this the Free Software Foundation brought out their GPLv3 but this seems to be too little too late. http://it.toolbox.com/
