Exactly... I keep this directory "list only" at all times. Sometimes sites don't work without being able to write there... most of the time I don't care enough about the video to change rights, but I will if I'm watching The Daily Show or something.
When I'm done, I clear the directory and re-lock it. I did the same for the ".adobe" directory, not sure if it's necessary
I haven't seen Citi mentioned in anything I've read yet, I received an email from them a little while ago:
Dear [Flyers2391],
Recently, Citi was notified of a system breach at Epsilon, a third-party vendor that provides marketing services to a number of companies, including Citi. The information obtained was limited to the customer name and email address of some credit card customers. No account information or other information was compromised and therefore there is no reason to re-issue a new card.
Because e-mail addresses can be used for "phishing" attacks, we want to remind our customers of the following:
* Citi Cards uses an Email Security Zone in all of our email to help you recognize that the email was sent by us. Customers should check the Email Security Zone to verify that the email you received is from CIti and reduce the risk of personal information being "phished". To help you recognize that the email was sent by Citi we will always include the following in the Email Security Zone in the top headline portion of all our emails:
o Your first name and last name
o Last four digits of your Citi card account number
o And recently to increase security, we have added your “member since” date located on the front of your card, where available.
* ThankYou(SM) Rewards always includes your first name, last name, last four digits of your ThankYou Member ID, and Total Available Point Balance in the top headline portion of all our emails to help you recognize that the email was sent by us. Customers should check the top portion to verify that the email they have received is from ThankYou(SM) Rewards and reduce the risk of personal information being "phished".

... I was able to "convert" my wife from IE to FF a few months ago, however, her company's payroll system only works on IE. Once she switches it on, she continues using it. That to me is a big problem with FF....
I know it's not a solution, more of a work around, but install IE tab and specify the site so she doesn't have to leave firefox. That is what I do on family members' computers that need to visit certain "made for IE" web sites.
They do require a class in technology, however in most basic "technology" classes that means learning how to use the newest version of MS Word, Excel and Powerpoint
I may be odd but I changed my useragent string on my work laptop to read as firefox on linux. I am lucky enough to use firefox at work but I changed it out of principle... every little bit helps (or at least that's what I tell myself)
As many have already commented, I too paid for my college education and worked through school. I knew in high school I was paying for it in full without help from my parents, so I planned accordingly. I worked about 40 hours/week throughout high school and college. My priorities were to pay for school as I was going AND save money. Most of my friends' priorities were to go away to school, have a good time away from the parents and get an education. I opted to go to a state school close enough that it was an hour train ride away.
Long story short, I graduated with more money than I started with and I own a small condominium, while most of my friends are still at their parents' or renting.
PHB @ $30/H

= $2.5
While your math makes sense, you forgot that the first step after hanging your coat in the office is going to the kitchen for a cup of coffee. Once you get in the habit of turning your computer on and then getting coffee, there are maybe 2 seconds lost
When you outlaw knives, only outlaws will have knives
I never understood this argument, it seems inherently erroneous...
for example, "if you outlaw murder, only outlaws will have murdered" were people using this argument before?
Absolutely. I haven't even browsed their site for a while but when I did, NOTHING had a bad review. I bought a cable that didn't work, wrote a coherent negative review and it never showed up on their site.
You have a valid point, but with so many netbooks coming with a linux distribution, the Windows imaging could be considered the extra step... OK, I'll stop dreaming now:)

In this context, "innovative = "brand new" = "full of bugs". Should be entertaining.
"attitude control" seems new and innovative, should be interesting at least

Personally, I wouldn't take anything facebook says about linux seriously ... Microsoft did invest $240 million in them about a year ago

I showed a few people at work this, maybe others don't know about it either. You can set and change your out of office message:
Messages > Options > Email Settings
In there, (besides being able to edit your signature) the bottom option should show "Use out of office reply" change that to yes and edit as desired.

That way I can add what I see fit, much like the Server OS
I prefer the usual, packaging outlook express, calculator, a sound recorder and maybe some games like minesweeper in with my windows server OS :P
Kinda reminds me of this from a little while back: http://blog.wired.com/cultofmac/2007/03/novell_launches.html/

A lot of dumb people probably lost a lot of money, while a lot of smart people probably made a lot of money over this.
what about people that didn't react at all and still lost 16.66%? or are they just stupid for owning the stock in the first place?
See what I did there?
yes, and it will be wiireless N capable ;)
Absolutely. I haven't even browsed their site for a while but when I did, NOTHING had a bad review. I bought a cable that didn't work, wrote a coherent negative review and it never showed up on their site.
I always used yahoo search until I started using firefox. After a little while, I had a preference for google

Which gives a whole new meaning to "Nuclear Winter"

Yes, you are not alone, I received it over this past weekend if I remember correctly
