I personally don't like the idea. I love the command line, I don't use an 'xterm', just the terminal (actually, it's a telnet client for DOS on windows98:P ). I don't like windows popping up when I'm deleting files saying "are you sure?? sure????"
But how about adding 'STDGUI*' handles to the program (or the shell, whatever), like 'STDGUIIN', 'STDGUIOUT' and 'STDGUIERR'? That would communicate with the windows manager with some kind of xml maybe; the normal terminal would ignore it.
The guy is running a 'non unix' system on a PC. He can't run linux, he can't run some werid OS on a mac.
anyway, I run a win98 on my desktop, and a Debian linux on the firewall. I use a telnet client for DOS with multiple terminals (Alt F1 - Alt F10; really cool), and I use SMB to mount the filesystems. I use bash to manipulate the windows files.
And I Xhost a lot of programs on windows, like netscape and licq, to keep the windows CPU clear. Crashes less often.
Anyway, the guy seems to be avoiding windows just out of spite, so I guess it's ok to suggest anything.

So what? Don't we all sat "Windows is going down" but we still use it to play games, or watch documents, or whatever?
It's the same. They don't like it, but they have to use it because it's better.
But seriously, over here (Argentina) cloning human beings is illegal. The law was created at the beggining of 1998 I think, when the whole clonning hype started (with the sheeps and everything).
I'm not sure why, but everybody seemed to think that this was an 'important' law. I think it's sad.
Now, back to the sci-fi, how about a 'ball', with a heart, and a respiratory system, a small nervious system (to control basic functions), a simple digestive system, and a reproductory system. The idea is to inseminate this ball (anyway you want), and it gets pregnant. And you have a daughter. You can build it with your wife's DNA, or maybe for a gay couple or something.
Funny thing about my mirror: the mirror would be 'ftp.ar.kernel.org', for Argentina. But the actual location of the mirror is on Canada, literally the other side of the continent.
Side note: a female lead in anime does NOT mean cutesy, or non-violent.
That may be true, but not in this case. I saw 50 episodes of Card Captor Sakura, and the first thing you'll notice is that _every_ character on the series is cute. Even the evil cards. The main character is a girl, so she has girl friends, and everything is pink. And there is practically no blood. It's not violent.
Another thing is that almost everybody seems to be gay exept for Sakura, especially on the first ~25 eps. But that's a CLAMP thing.
You know, on different languajes, the phrase "United States patent and trademark oficce" (USPTO) would be constructed differently. For example, in spanish it would be (translated back to english):
ofice of patent and trademark of United States (OPTUS)
I don't know any other languajes, but my favourite would be:
states trademark united patent office (STUPO)
That's all.

2.2 vs 2.4
·
· Score: 1
I had that problem, using debian 2.2. I had to switch the sources for apt to unstable and upgrade 'modutils'.
That, and the ipchains->iptables change are the 2 more important problems I had. And the article completely ingnores them.
Other than that, it works great. My ATAPI CDR works perfectly (with 2.2.18 it crashed very often, ruining the disk).
My father did this, and he had my crazy mother to back him up (my father is also crazy of course).
He showed me that nobody can know everything (you know how your father seems to know everything when you are little) but you can learn. He would say "I don't know" when he didn't know. Sometimes he would guess, but he would explain me how he got to his conclusion.
My mother, on the other hand, just _can't_ say "I don't know". She always just guesses an answers, and gives it like it's the truth. And she thinks I'm passive agressive because I ask her thinks she doesn't know, and I'm just waiting for her to say "I don't know" so I can laugh at her. That's how I learn what happends when you think you know everything.
even though most reviewers (as did I) didn't think it was a good film at all.
Do you actually expect people to ignore a movie just because some little reviewer didn't like it?
Personally, I didn't care for all those 'kung foo' scenes, I liked the idea. The whole concept of the 'fake reality' (a lot of people don't get that) and 'there is no spoon' is very cool.
I didn't like the way the ideas were developed (I wouldn't necesarily see the matrix as the evil entity), but I really liked the movie.
who laughs at the finger phone? It's the coolest thing I've ever seen! I never needed to use those little phones, don't really like them, but I would buy one of those finger phones in a heartbeat.
And this is more serious than commercial email... why?
Well.. people go to wars over their little religious or racial problems, but they don't go to war over viagra (I get a "buy viagra online" mail every week).
Of course, you could manipulate the sentence and say the opposite ('people go to wars over money, but not over [insert the topic of a religious mail gere]').
I use a simple filter. If my e-mail address (or just domain) is not on the To: or CC: headers of the incoming mail, the mail goes to the 'spam' mail box. It's very efficient, nobody uses "Bcc:" to send real mail, so it's all spam in my spam mailbox. A few (the most targeted ones) get to my IN box, but it's no big deal.
I also have an e-mail set up specially to get spam, to be up-to-date (I found out about viagra from a "buy viagra online" mail before it hit the news).
It makes sense, considering that the new milenium started on 1/1/2000 (instead of 2001). The first month should be 0 instead of 1, and the first day of each month should be 0.
And the first day of the week should be "zeroday", not "oneday".
I agree. I know this kids (I'm not a prodigy myself, but I've been around them), and they won't do anything they don't want to do. You can't just _push_ him to "develope social skills", or "rocket science". Social skills are very important for them, because they'll became "smart asses" until they are 20, and start interacting with real people, but you can't just "push" them to develop anything.
That's why they are bored at normal school all the time, they just don't care about it.
Anyone had any luck getting DOS door games running under linux?
I tried running Lord2 (a very cool multiplayer RPG) on linux. I was never a SysOp, and I'm not very good with linux. I intalled the win98 DOS and lord2 on an old 40mb hd, and figured out how those "dropfiles" work. The game runs ok, I could telnet to the machine and run dosemu, and then the game. I also could run 2 instances of dosemu using the same disk, but it doesn't support that, so I can't play the game with more than 1 player, or the filesystem gets a little corrupted.
I gave up. Did anyone succeded on something like this?
Even if the contents can be uniquely identified as containing sound data, how can we know this isn't some internet equivalent of a radio station?
We will, of course, tax this 'internet radio station' for transmitting on the internet instead of using the air. Everything is solved by taxing someone.
Not just blood in a cartoon... EXPLODING PINK BUBBLE-GUMMY MELTING MUTATING FLESH in a cartoon!
That's my point.. it's not that I don't like violence, I just don't care for it. Sex is nice, but a movie that has only violence is boring.
And... "chinese"? What makes the characters Chinese?
Their short black hair, round faces, small eyes, werid names and small breasts.
When the story is boring, I like the big eyes and big breasts, not because 'they look more american' (I'm not even from US), but because the design is "cleaner" and nicer. (and of course I know all anime characters have werid names).
The animation is good, and the violence is 'unusual' (you'll say "cool, blood on a cartoon!!"), but basically, it sucks.
The story is confusing and boring, there is a lot of backstory, there is no development on the characters. You don't 'get to know' the characters, you should alredy know them from the manga. And more important: there are no women with big breasts:). All the characters are "chinese".
I'd recommend other movies on the 'classic' genre, like Ghost in the Shell, or the Miyasaki movies.
you mean those hackers will be able to watch DHTV on their computers and save it to their disks so they can watch it again later? oh no!!! let's start suing people!!
