Or maybe because it like DEVOURED her paper, and she was like "hunhhh??". And it was a really good paper too. And then she had to write it again really fast so it wasn't as good.
yeah, I was looking for someone else to say something about TX. We signed up for this, (like $2.50/yr I think), and I had real doubts that it would do any good because of when it would go into effect, how long companies had to take you off their lists, etc., they could just change company names and be back in biz, but now that I read this we have had less calls. Still get those stupid recorded things that take up half the tape on the answering machine before it cuts them off, but live calls have really dropped. Still get the occassional call on the cell, though. Gotta not answer those calls that don't show the number. That really ticks me off because if I am over my minutes, I take $$ hit.

It is "only" 1.0, but that is a Major Milestone. Truly wonderful to see a non-zero int on the left of the decimal. Tis a Happy Day!! Congratulations to all involved. (Don't forget to do the backups tonight!!;-) ) Thanks for the had work past, present, and future.
It's to represent control-H. Some systems use control-H as a backspace delete. The joke is that the actual keystrokes in some circumstances are shown (not random, but I don't have the particulars), in the joke, so it looks like you first typed something, then went to backspace delete it, then typed something else, and it so it shows what you really meant before, usually, politically correcting it. Just my understanding...
Please somebody re-mod that post. There is nothing inflammatory about it. IMNSHO, of course.

"I would imagine that would refer to A/UX rather than OSX." br>
I'm thinking not. I'm assuming that the page referenced by the url to unix-systems.org is rather recent, and given that Apple has basically mothballed A/UX quite some time ago, if I'm not mistaken here, then the page would have to then be referring to OS X.
Right, but that's what he was saying. Descartes said "I think, therefore I am.", then one day just happens to say to someone offhandedly, "I think not.", and then, therefore, "is not", i.e. "I think not, therefore I am not."
It **IS** about damn time! I have been needing to use ALSA myself, and it would be great to have it already rolled into a distro. This admittedly, relatively cheap pc has a sound card that Linux doesn't support and I haven't wanted to go out and buy another one just so it would work with Linux (RH 7).
More like Broadband Retailer GLUT-tons !!!! And they wonder why broadband "isn't taking off"??? So off they go to soak the ones they think least likely to leave, i.e. those that apparently *really* use it.
If there were more competition among the carriers/providers instead of the current batch of fee hawgs, (AOL/TW/RR, DSL providers, LECS, Bells, et al.), maybe there would be more uptake.
If you look at the pictures in the article, one of them does show that there is apparently indeed only one display, for 8 machines, and it is a 17" Studio Display CRT, was $499 from apple.com before they quit making them.
[OT]Brother, sounds like you worked where I worked just before! What a rat's nest of undocumented, unmanaged code all over the network. No telling which source directory built which program actually running in production. I was just one in a long, long series of people who had to work on that mess, and it showed in the code and systems. A real Rube Goldberg of logic and interaction, and nothing written down anywhere. They had C++ progs done by Fox Pro people. There had been one sharp coder, but who wrote code that was 'cutely' obfuscated and purposefully undocumented, which made it a bitch to figure out what the hell was going on. Stuff just slapped together over the years so the whole thing was a big accreted mass of spaghetti. Tried my best to improve it while I was there for them and for the next poor sod, but glad I'm out.[/OT]
Actual Relevant Comment So I Don't Get Modded Down as Off Topic: Apache V.anything is never going to be the Death of IIS unless and until Lord Gates decides it to be so. There is no way they are going to abandon the server market. There is too much leverage there for them to allow anyone else to dominate it. Although Apache always -has- dominated!;-) They will keep at it 'forever' if if they never get beyond the 20 or so percent mark. That monopoly has a lot of leverage.
Well, yeah, but come on. This is not Apple.com doing it, these are -users-, end-customers, fans of Apple's products that are doing it. And as is so oft writ, they comprise only something like 5% of the entire market.

My only agenda is logical objectivity over religiosity.
