    Finding out the IP Address of my Ethernet Modem

    Wow, sounds like the first thing you should do is to change the password on the router to keep them from mucking with it. You can get your routers address (assuming your computer is using dhcp and you are able to do normal internet stuff) by simply doing: route get www.apple.com This...

    HOW long does it takes:Microsoft eating APPLE

    Well depends on what you mean by "copy". A company like BMW might copy some electronic or even engine/drivetrain feature that originated in a Daewoo. Take something like intermittent wipers, everybody has it now, but someone back then (I think it was Ford, who was successfully sued by the...

    Finding out the IP Address of my Ethernet Modem

    Lots of excellent info from folks. The routers ip that you use to access it (192.168.1.1) should be the same, your isp can't change it (unless they themselves telnet'ed into it and changed it. What error are you getting when you try to telnet? Have you tried pinging it? Can you access it via...

    Compiling a simple .c file on Unix Terminal

    I think the problem is that you are including iostream but your file is a .c file (which has no concept of a "class"). Simply remove the #include iostream.h from the file, you don't need it anyway. Alternatively you can rename your file .cpp causing the c++ compiler to be invoked which...

    corba under mac os x

    What error are you getting? Is orbd in your path? If it is in the current directory, don't forget to prefix it with ./ ./orbd -ORBIni.......... The equivilent to 'start' is end the command with an ampersand '&'. This will create a new process for the orb (vs running it in your shell...

    BILL & HP copy APPLE Design

    Actually I think that there are three primary reasons that Billy Boy is taking a keen interest in hardware design recently: 1 - Linux. The more you ingrain the software with the hardware, the more difficult it is for other OS's to offer similar levels of functionality in a timely fashion...

    BILL & HP copy APPLE Design

    Six display cards in an SE :eek: !?! Now that would be a sight :D Guess the cards were velcroed to the exterior of the case and chained together with a ribbon cable ;) That and the speed would have been atrocious since the cpu wouldn't even have come close to being able to keep up with all...

    BILL & HP copy APPLE Design

    Just want to point out that dual monitor support has been around since way before the G450. I was doing dual monitors on my Millenium I's. The G450 was the first mass produced card that allowed you to go dual head with a single card. The old way was to simply have two cards. It still worked...

    BILL & HP copy APPLE Design

    Yes, I did take the time to read your post :D I just want to make it clear (I'm just clarifiying here, I don't want it to sound like I'm upset). Never did I say that Apple was not innovative. Never did I say that Apples didn't do many things better than Wintel. Never did I say that Wintel...

    BILL & HP copy APPLE Design

    Well i think that once you get beyond the ranting, that cellfish does have a point. His point is that there is a mindset that exists on this site that makes some folks here very narrow minded when it comes to the pc world in general and Micro$oft in particular. It isn't a simple feeling that...

    Can't see local webserver w/ wireless router

    Actually the Netgears are very nice routers (at least the earlier ones were, I have the MR314, the version before the 814). They have many more features than others like Linksys, but they just happen to have this one very annoying problem (I'm sure they have others, but this one is the one that...

    Can't see local webserver w/ wireless router

    There is a limitation in the Netgear routers that prevents them from being able to properly deal with packets that are destined to an "external" ip, but are port forwarded back internally. If you look on Netgears support site, they mention this. What I do to work around it (and yes, this...

    Finding out the IP Address of my Ethernet Modem

    Do you have a plain modem, or a router? If you have a router, then it will have two ip addresses, the one that is assigned by the isp and the one that it uses to talk to your machines. The latter is assigned by you (or is left at the factory default). For the Zyxel's, I believe they default...

    Similarities between Microsoft and a toilet ...

    Whoa. Now you know that M$ has waaay to much free money. Must have been fun QA'ing that product. BTW, what's up with the "plasma" screens? Does that imply that they'll be larger than 19" (and thus the reason for not going with "standard" lcd).

    Longhorn

    Are you saying that because Xerox never marketed a standalone gui product that therefore there was nothing to copy? You do know that Xerox actually sold the Star right? And saying that because you can't "install it on a Mac or Wintel" that somehow it isn't important couldn't have been...

    So would that make PC folk Catholics and Apple folk Orthodox Jews? ;)

    Microsoft

    That's no article, that's one persons opinion. For one, Office XP Pro is about $500 (though it may be $1000 where the author is from). Microsoft got to be known by selling office for mac's late at the 80's. Uh, I think M$ was well known way before that. They may have become known to Mac...
