Kif: This is the Holo-Shed. It can simulate anything you desire, and nothing can hurt you. Except when it malfunctions and the holograms become real. Amy: Well, that probably won't happen this time. Kif: Computer; Run program Kif-1. Amy: This is so beautiful! Kif: Yes. I programmed it in for you! 4 million lines of BASIC!
MacScan does spyware removal, among other things. It doesn't appear to have been updated recently, and I've never needed to use it, but it does exist! (:
Because installing Gentoo currently is about 2 steps away from installing LFS, you simply cannot do it without learning a LOT about GNU/Linux at a very low level. If you want to install Gentoo, you MUST invest the time to learn how everything works.

Although numerous people have pointed out that this was the fault of EDS, and not the OS. We can still blame MS as the EDS sysadmins are probably all MCSE (:
Anyone reading this article would be given the impression that those were desired name changes, not ones that were practically forced.
I wouldn't call it inaccurate to keep from going too in-depth with why the name changed so many times. No where in the article does it imply Mozilla decided they didn't like the current name, so they changed it; that would be innacurate. The people who already know the story, know the story; the people who don't probably don't care, so why bother? This isn't a story about the history of Firefox, its main focus is one developer.
Seriously, this article has some flaws and inaccuracies that you could drive a bus through.
Examples? I hardly think nitpicking the word 'novel' (which was poor choice) is something you could "drive a bus through."
I clicked on your link and I found nothing indicating bias on that page.
Bingo. To call either biased is purely speculation, niether I nor the parent provided any facts to back the statement up. The point of my reply was to emphasis that for the mods, and it apprently worked now that parent is +1 instead of +5 (:
I just simply rip the damned thing to my hard drive and play it from there
yes, let's buy the product knowing we'll hafta work around it, waste time, and waste HD space, awesome!
play it in a standalone DVD player hooked to my 42" wide screen LCD projection TV
if that is the only solution you can come up with, you better be buying everyone a 42" wide screen LCD projection TV and standalone DVD player, which is fine by me./shrug
So, let me see if I get this right -- crime rates have been going down for years and are at historical lows, but people are worried more than ever about crimes they "hear about."
Neither FM transmitters nor cassette adapters are a good solution - both greatly reduce the quality of the signal provided to the stereo.
Greatly is quite a stretch, but you can have it. I appreciate the quality of music, but if you are looking for very high quality playbackk, get out of your car and into a studio.
In defense of boingboing (which is a great site for news), the only "porn ad" they have is for suicide girls, and while I visit boingboing daily, I have never seen any nudity in the ad. It is always a risque picture, but hardly qualifies as "pornography." The suicide girls site on the other hand... (:
I just turned off Java in FF. The only thing that was taking forever for me was some weird "Buy Them On Ebay" link below the square ad after stories. After disabling Java, everything loads quickly and all the other ads (which i also like to catch) remain.
Slashdot Mirror
Wow. I would never expect such a witty sports comment on slashdot, mod parent up (:

Where does it say it was stolen?

Tell ya somthing. ditch those calculators, and you'll solve half of the problem!
Heh, I've learned more programming with a calculator on my own than any professor has ever been able to coherently explain to me.
Name one that would be solved this way.
Females.
...we need a Futurama quote (:

i fail so see how the next 2005 release will be any different from vida.
I wonder if that's because you haven't seen the final 2005 release (:

Maybe you should email that to the author's teacher (:
Well if things are that damn simple then why bother to tell the truth about anything?
How is not mentioning why the name changed so many times a lie?

If it came from a less biased source I might believe it.
And if electronic voting came from a less biased source I might believe it.
I remember a while back NASA saying they would probably support Open Source in the near future with their project?
:D
Well, that's a good sign

And we all know who to thank for this.
And what does the average end user do when it starts auto-installing itself anytime the DVD is used on a computer?

From TA:
If we could do it all over again, would we change anything?
You know what? No, we don't think so.
They are happy with what they did. Pathetic is people like you looking back on it and calling them pathetic.

Oops, didn't notice your correction. Damn threshold :P
