I use Firefox and Thunderbird for all my stuff, but I definitely agree that TB has a way to go. The biggest problem that I've noticed is that occasionally it will just start acting slow, and I have to close it and start it up again.
That said, I love Firefox, and if I'm forced to use IE (say, on someone else's computer), I feel like killing people (its designers, mainly). Is that what they mean by "killer app"?
Good. Because if I coughed up a (large in Australia, obscene in the US) pile of cash to go to UNI, and they teach me something like MODULA-2 that will never help me get a job, I'd be pissed.
If you're going to college (or "university") to learn job skills, then that definitely is a waste of your money, and you should be pissed.
If you want to work on "job skills", then this might be what you're looking for.
but the CTO and his staff will be missing the Panthers win today!
so will everyone else, since there's about as much chance of the Panthers winning as me getting hit by a falling meteor just after I've drawn four royal flushes in a row.
I've received great enjoyment from just browsing the Wikipedia articles. I've never just "donated" to a website before (though I've bought paid services at a couple, for example LiveJournal), but Wikipedia is an excellent project, and I felt it deserved a couple bucks. I'm poor as shit at the moment, so I couldn't spare much, but, as the submission says, I don't really need that candy bar.:)
Actually, livejournal allows you to post audio files via a phone call to your journal, and they save all audio as Oggs. So when I said "no one outside of Slashdot", I suppose I was exagerating.:)
Me, I love my iPod, but if I could have it play another format I'd choose Shorten (SHN). That's about the only audio format I use other than MP3 (and the AACs from the iTunes store).
I've been using OO for a year and a half now, I've had no problems with anything (including compatability with other people who use MS Word). Thanks for the warm good luck wishes though!
Fuck that. Tipping should be based on service. That's the whole point.
I "start" at 15%. If they do well, I mentally increase it. If they don't, I mentally decrease it. At the end of the meal, I use whatever I'm at. 15% is for *average* service, not for *poor* service.
The R-B version of The Hobbit wasn't bad at all, considering that it was a kids' cartoon. Even with the weird green things that passed for Silvan Elves.
The R-B ROTK, though.. *shudder*
at least it wasn't claymation:)
Haha, that'd be hilarious.:)
But to address your original point, I'm fairly sure that that part is in the new movie, I've seen stills that I think depict it. We'll (at least I'll) see come Wednesday.:)
Or you could be running a Mac or Windows box and just refuse to pollute it with crappy MS software:-)
Well, if you're running Windows, you've already polluted it.
But you may be trying to salvage what you can..;)
Said as someone like that.. running Win XP, but using Firebird & Thunderbird, Openoffice, Winamp, GAIM... basically nothing MS except the OS itself. XP itself's not so bad (wouldn't use it as a server, but that's what FreeBSD is for), but I am physically pained when I have to use IE, I gave up MS Office whenever possible a couple years ago in protest of it sucking, and I prefer my email without viruses. Some versions of Media Player are okay, I just like other stuff better usually.
That said, an older version of MEdia Player is installed here, so if I cared I could view WMV.:)

I wish I had mod points so I could mod you up.
People misusing "begs the question" *really* annoys me. I'm starting to think it's a losing battle, though.

You do know that more females play Everquest than males, right?
Granted, the female characters are probably males, but a lot of the male characters are probably females, so it all works out.

is definitely Matt Nathanson's Beneath These Fireworks.
(I'll give Outkast originality, but it doesn't mean that they are any good. and don't get me started on the White Stripes. ugh.)

yes, but that would be Evolution in the Voyager, not in the Enterprise.
Okay, you only buy Swedish stuff, and I'll only buy American stuff. We'll see who lasts longer.
ah, nothing like Boston assholes in the morning.
*plonk*
I can't wait to move out of Mass., mostly because of people like you and the rest of Boston.
funny, but, yeah, you mean the ASCAP, not the RIAA.
it's been 19 seconds since i hit reply. damn you slashdot, i'm surprised i ever bother to post.
um, how can you spoil something that's been out for 50 years?
rosebud is a sled, by the way.
most people don't dig indi artists, atleast not the kind of people who buy an iPod (the trendy people).
Um, what? "Trendy" people are the *only* ones who like indi music.
hahaha, +5 funny. :)
yeah, I can't format my a href tags.

it's been 1 minute since i last posted a reply...

yes, over half my music is ogg vorbis by now
Well, that's your own damn fault if you rip music to an obscure format that no one outside of Slashdot has heard of...
Well, I'm not, so I guess "we all" aren't.
*shudder* That's far to close to home.. I have a couple projects due tomorrow and a couple finals on Thursday.
So what did I do all weekend? Play a Knight in Nethack. ARGH. They don't call it Gradewrecker for nothing.
(the Knight is in Gehennom now! Just killed Orcus and Yeenoghu..)
I don't mind the Rankin-Bass stuff that much...
:)

One of my favorite parts of RotK was when Sam and Frodo are forced to march with some of the Orcs in Mordor as they head towards Barad-Dur.
where there's a whip *crack*
there's a way
(if you don't recognize that, be thankful, since it means you've never seen the horror of horrors that is the Rankin-Bass ROTK)

Interesting... Vapor Trails, the whole album, pretty much grabbed me right away.
Counterparts, though, took awhile, but I really like it now.
For me, the best example is probably U2's Achtung Baby.. aside from 'One', didn't like anything on it for the first year or two of owning it.
Then suddenly, "holy shit, all these songs rock".
