this cool language named C# and did some delphi , c++ programming (dcom,com+) and
javascript . On my second partition i had redhat installed and next to me was an solaris machine. Cygwin was an too helped me in that period.

One Computer = Six-User Linux System

Mabe we can implement it at Reea.net (with an dual or quad core system) and will be shared by 2-6 users (for cutting html,browsing, email , gaim or for c++)No CPU power is wasted here... Would be hard to do the same with a memory-hungry Vista OS.

DRM+AMD chips = defectivebydesign.org

One thing I believe to be true (in turns of How AMD can be fixed?). Building Digital Rights Management (DRM) into its chips (see Adrian Kingsley-Hughes' How AMD hopes to turn things around) probably isn't the answer.
[My next computers will be AMD, and Microsoft free , DRM free too, you know that on your own servers they can control the daemons you run, and doesn't work by the way ]

I started this project because I wanted a dead-simple blog. Something that didn't require a database, used flat text files, and looked nice.The main advantage of using Simple PHP Blog is that it only requires PHP 5 (or greater) and write permission on the server. Unlike other blog software, there is almost no setup - just unzip and copy...

microsoft patented crap

We have identified that messages from your IP (127.0.0.1) are being filtered based on the recommendations of the SmartScreen filter.  SmartScreen is the spam filtering technology developed and operated by Microsoft.  SmartScreen is built around the technology of machine learning.  SmartScreen’s filters are trained to recognize what is spam and what isn’t spam.  In short, we filter incoming emails that look like spam.  I am not able to go into any specific details about what these filters specifically entail, as this would render them useless.

[Yah right security by obscurity ]

However, we also base our spam rating on the reputation of the sender.  One way to positively impact the r! eputation of your IP is to obtain SPF/Sender ID records.  This technology allows SmartScreen to better track emails from your IP, weeding out spoofed messages.  You can find additional information on creating SPF records at http://www.microsoft.com/senderid
