  • Gates: Dot-com dreams to come true - The Microsoft chairman said Monday that most of the advances promised during the Internet boom will eventually come true. "Virtually everything that was discussed, even the most hyped thing" will happen, Gates told a crowd of researchers gathered at its headquarters here for the company's yearly Microsoft Research Faculty Summit. "It just takes more time."
  • U.S. shrugs off world's address shortage  - As much of the world nears an Internet address crunch, North America stands as an island apart, threatening to fragment plans for the biggest overhaul of the Web in decades. Global momentum is growing for a new address system, known as IPv6, which promises to vastly expand the pool of unique numbers available for connecting PCs and other devices to the Net. The standard is widely seen as a necessary successor to the current IPv4 system, which some fear could run short of addresses in Asia and Europe within the next few years.
  • Napster 2.0 Ready for Holiday Relaunch - Napster is set to rise like a phoenix from the ashes this Christmas holiday season, but this time with its legal affairs in check, Napster owner Roxio said Monday. The fallen song-swapping service, which was knocked offline last year after a prolonged legal battle with the record industry over copyright infringement allegations, will re-emerge as a legal paid music service Napster 2.0.
  • So what info does WinXP really send to MS? - Germany's tecChannel has launched an English-language version of its site, and has celebrated with a seriously trainspotter analysis of the interaction between Windows XP's product activation and Redmond central control. Despite (or possibly because of) Microsoft's insistence that the WPA process is completely harmless and doesn't send the company any of your personal data, the system has since its introduction been the subject of much paranoid speculation.
  • Dell announces fix for handheld glitch  - Dell has announced a fix for its underperforming Axim X5 handhelds. The Round Rock, Texas, company said on Monday that it will offer a software update that improves the performance of Axim X5 models installed with Microsoft's Windows Mobile 2003 software for Pocket PC. Dell expects to post the update, a whopping 28MB file that updates the Axim's read-only memory, on its Web site by Wednesday. The company will also contact customers with affected Axim X5 models to inform them of the update, a company representative said.
  • Hong Kong firm offers 'Chinese' CPU for Linux PCs - Culturecom Holdings Ltd., a publisher of Chinese language "fighting" comics that migrated into information technology in the 1990s, has begun selling its V-Dragon microprocessor for use in Chinese PCs. The V-Dragon CPU incorporates support for Chinese-language characters, according to the company. It was unveiled at an event held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, the company said.
  • nVidia GeForce FX 5200 vs. ATI Radeon 9200 - OCAddiction have compared these two cards and here is a result:"So does the R9200 ever win? Sure, I think it has better 4X AA quality, but even that is debatable as we all have different preferences. In any case, 4X AA is a joke with these cards, and renders any further AA discussion pointless. I guess if you're a fan of ATI and looking for a cheap video accelerator, the 9200 will certainly give you its money's worth, but for certain, the nVidia GeForce FX 5200 is the final winner. Remember though, these are bottom of the barrel graphics cards, so even though the FX5200 is better than the R9200, it's still not all that impressive. But for around $60, who's complaining? (Besides me?)"
  • Pen Drive USA Pen Drive 2.0 Review  - The Pen Drive 2.0 comes to us in a nicely done package which sports the actual pen Drive, contained within a clear plastic shell in the center of the box. Once we opened the box and pulled out the contents, all of which are enclosed in a plastic container, we had a chance to examine the extras. Below is a full list of the contents.
  • 3DS Max 6 Announced - Discreet today announced the newest version of its acclaimed 3D modelling, animation and rendering solution 3ds max 6 at the SIGGRAPH Exhibition in San Diego, California. 3ds max 6 is expected to be available in Autumn 2003, in English, with pricing at L2695 (VAT not included). German, French, Spanish, Italian versions will be available later in 2003.

Well, Gates' dreams of endless profit are looking threatened by the end of the dot com bubble. That's why he told the NY Times the other day they might start charging for Windows Update.

Comments from LINUX RULES!posted - 06:06 AM CEST - Jul,29 2003
ohh you think linux sucks eh?. Well have you ever tried to use that gay WINDOWS API. its so poorly designed its a joke. Do you even know what API means?. Linux has way more built in tools. Linux is way easier to use for programmers. The API IS CLEANER. You try something for at most a day then decide it sucks. Wow you really did a big detailed analysis there. Your just a retard with no brains about computers. Maybe you don't need a good operating system cause all you do is run shit programs on your computer. But for people who make real programs (and im not talking about winzip or realplayer e.t.c...) we need linux. Windows does not cut it its pathetic.

IPv6 is stupid... Not alot of people is willing to adapt. Neither do most of Microsoft's OSes support it either.. They should be improving it to 1024-bits rather than the 256-bit design they have.... Idiots is all I can say

Comments from fuck offposted - 05:01 PM CEST - Jul,29 2003
The thing about IPv6 is that by the time it becomes widely used another better protocol might come out. And IPv6 is not really a big improvement at all.

Comments from HX is lazyposted - 09:18 PM CEST - Jul,29 2003
Wheee what a amazing discussion. Thank you HX for the wonderful ability to post without registering.

Comments from im prettyposted - 09:27 PM CEST - Jul,29 2003
registering ? give me a break. registering is a waste of computer resources. Nobody with any brains will actually fill out those registeration forms accuratly. Fuck its all bullshit. you think im really going to put my real name and postal code down? fuck why? so you can spam me? get real. ALL the idiots out there collecting registeration information and most of it is bullshit. I don't know about you but the though of storing megabytes or even gigabytes of bullshit data seems stupid to me. SO STFU "HX IS LAZY" and get some brains. hx does a great job here.

Comments from hxposted - 10:27 PM CEST - Jul,29 2003
Well, I'm tired, exhausted and lazy ...But I will try change something later this year. I don't like the mess in comments too :)

Comments from posted - 11:31 PM CEST - Jul,29 2003
hey hx make sure if you MAKE A FILTER FOR BAD WORDS that you don't forget to skip over the white space. like if i type fuck on some chat programs it filters it to **** but if i type F U C K it works because the programmer forget to skip over white space. so make sure you don't make that mistake eh?. Maybe make the email length like 10 characters longer.
