How would that work, seeing that each key are unique to beta testers? Unless someone already cracked it. :/

The Longhorn activation wont be unless they have some special thing in it to make it not accept the Longhorn key... but how is that possible

I was referring to the people who are posting in here about keygens, cracks and trying to find it on otherwise "reputable" sites.

Lol, I was posting about them.

I just wanted to warn some not-so-experienced people who might just think "oh, here is my beloved p2p app. i am sure they will have the vista before neowinians. i will be the first to download and show them who is the real noob" and get their system ruined.

i am sure that nearly everyone, including myself, knows that those stuff on the p2p networks are pure.. bad. :)

I hope people were not thinknig signing up for connect would get you an invite. All that does is link your email to the passport for connect. It will NOT get you an invite, nor will it make you a MS beta tester.

You have to go beta.microsoft.com, link your passport to that site, then use guest ID BetaReq. (betareq, Betareq... one of those it's case sensitive) THEN apply to test Longhorn. Though you would be better off applying for a lesser beta. Usually only established beta testers with good history get on windows tests early on.

Not bloody likely. Any integrated video card is by default junk.

This conversation took place a while ago between myself and the guy with the folded arms and the "smirk-on-face" (SOF) on connect.

SOF: Dude, this is the 71st time you logged onto Connect today!

Me: At least you can count!

SOF: There goes your chances of testing Win VI Beta 1.

Me: Get lost. Hey, and make yourself usefull. Write some codes or something. Or you could help with the invites at least. Because of people like you, I have to wait a month just to get my Vista invitation. Am tired of staring at your ugly *ss!

      It's funny that iPhone users think they are getting feature, where in fact they are getting cosmetics that just do iteration circles of "improvement" of the said cosmetics. Apple just doesn't know what to do with this product anymore. There is no innovation on this areas anymore.

      You can disable the bloat on every browser. That's not the point. I will never use a browser of a shady company. I don't trust them at all. I can still find adblocking solutions than having to rely on a browser from a shady company.

    • Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements by David Uzondu Alpine Linux 3.24 has been released with updated system packages, including Linux kernel 6.18 and Rust 1.96. The team also added IPv6 support to the system installer, and they introduced automatic serial console configuration for headless setups. System76's COSMIC desktop environment is now available in the community repo. System76 originally started building this DE because its developers found GNOME to be pretty limited. Plus, it did not help that with virtually every GNOME update, the changes broke System76's custom desktop extensions. As for system packages, the Alpine team moved GTK+ 3.0 from the main repository to the community repository due to its legacy status. py3-setuptools has been upgraded to version 82.0.0, while the old pkg_resources module has been completely dropped. The team also removed outdated packages that still relied on py3-six and GTK+ 2.0. In addition to that, libsoup 2 has been removed because the library was affected by multiple security vulnerabilities. If you're a GRUB user, the Alpine Team said that you must manually run the grub-install command with your specific device or EFI options right after upgrading your system, otherwise, your computer may fail to boot properly with the newly updated GRUB 2.14 bootloader. New installations of Alpine Linux now offer an optional path to a /usr-merged directory layout if you set the BOOTSTRAP_USR_MERGED environment variable to 1 before you execute the setup-disk command. If you already run an older installation, you can migrate manually by installing the merge-usr package and executing its binary as the root user. The team recommends this layout to align Alpine with modern Linux standards, though you should verify your custom scripts before making the switch. Alpine Linux is a pretty tiny (~5MB) Linux distro built around musl libc, BusyBox, and OpenRC. It's been around since 2005, comes with its own package manager called Alpine Package Keeper (APK), and is widely used in modern cloud computing and software deployment.
