Sweet. So, instead of having each Windows box, I just need to figure out what it's putting on the network, and make my own "license server" for as many copies of Vista as I want? If I put it on the Internet, can people just edit the hosts file and use my new license server, too?/doesn't actually plan to run Vista anywhere
The problem is that *you* need to find other people who use the same thing you do. Heck, some other people use Windows, so Linux should go away, everyone can use Windows, and computer users won't be splintered. It's a computer, and sometimes people use computers for different things.
Now, the lack of centralized, useful documentation for the choices that are available, there's a valid complaint. Except that KDE has a help system which explains how to do this - and lots of similarly common tasks. Try and find the documentation in Windows that explains how to mount a network drive. It's actually just slightly easier in KDE, since all of the help documents are searchable through one tool (confusingly called "help" in the menu *and* default panel).
Yeah, Linux should be more like Windows. The OS comes with *no* useful software, and it's up to the software vendor to test the software on every possible install platform. I'm sure that wouldn't delay software releases for longer than the time period already present between most distro revisions.
Yeah, but I was referring to the small jigsaw type rather than the larger "demolition-grade" type when I said reciprocatig saw. I also call "the big one" sawzall (even though mine are actually Craftsman and Dewalt tools, not the Milwaukee brand).:)
I've been boycotting Sony for years. It's pretty easy. Every time I start to lose interest, or find something that makes me think "well, maybe it's been long enough", they do something to renew my dislike of them. I refuse to type in all-caps, though. Maybe small caps...
I'll be darned. Some people call circular saws "skillsaw". I guess the Skill people did make several kinds of saw... Sigh. Imprecision in language sucks.
It's only a cure for Type 2. Other cures for Type 2 diabetes include "not eating so much crappy food that you become a hulking lardass". Yes, there are a few people with Type 2 that aren't hulking lardasses, but generally, the second type is due to poor diet and general lack of self-control.
From diabetes.org: The first treatment for type 2 diabetes is often meal planning for blood glucose (sugar) control, weight loss, and exercising.
But, for the lazy asses who got themselves into this mess to begin with, and can't be bothered to eat right, now "there's a pill for that". Yeah, that's front page news. Oh, and my apologies to the few who have "adult onset diabetes" whose reputation has been ruined by the "masses" of hulking lardasses - but they did manage to get you a pill, which looks way better than shots...
Would you know if your imagination wasn't vivid? Perhaps what appears vivid to you is bland (for lack of a better term) to someone else? I hope that's not offensive - it's just the first thing that popped into my head while I read this...
Speaking from my own experience, I've only lost files to 1) bad hardware and 2) extN file systems. Reiser's tool has always fixed any problem, except for on actual failed drives. The people I've heard problems from with Reiser typically have "other" problems with "difficult to learn" tools, systems, etc. IE, they're not exactly the sharpest kinives in the drawer. Kinda like this comment - from someone who had unidentified problems the "ony" time reiserFS was used. Huh, sounds like *lots* of experience... Sigh.
I will say, though, that ReiserFS is good at brinigng to light hardware problems that ext3 happily ignores. Then again, I personally *like* to know that things aren't working right, instead of waiting until it's too late.
I run two fairly high-traffic email servers. The "80-90% of email is spam" stat agrees with my findings. However, I do *not* run any kind of RBL, because I don't trust some third party to properly classify the mail I get. Using SpamAssassin, some IP blocking, some SMTP checks (valid HELO, etc), and general mail server setup, I block or correctly classify better than 90% of incoming spam. On the larger site, where I run dspam instead of SA, I'm well over 99% accurate on classifying spam/non-spam (partially due to an easier training system, IMO). On my personal site, where I get well over 1000 pieces of spam a day to my account, I only see one or two spams/day - the rest are caught without RBLs. If spamhaus goes away, I expect to see absolutely 0 impact. Furthermore, I expect most other "real" mail admins to have similar results. Overzealous RBLs like spamhaus aren't somehow critical to large companies, or the Internet as a whole, IMHO.
If the question you meant to ask was "do I have to insert two line feeds after every sentence", the answer is "no, that just makes things difficult to read". One would think that, having used email for this long, you would have paused to consider why *no one else* does that.
Having gotten that out of the way... No, pine doesn't fetch text from remote servers to display in iframes - it doesn't fetch anything but the email and attached content. It just renders the HTML attached to the message. Maybe thinking about it as a stand-alone SGML document received via email would help to better illustrate the separation between HTML (a document format which doesn't imply any network access) and the web (a place where documents are often coincidentally formatted using HTML).
Do people not think about the expressions they use? It's *heels*, as in the part of the foot that would be farthest back on a person one is trying to catch up with. Running right behind someone would literally put you "right on their heels".
The phrase is "pass time", but perhaps "past time" is more appropriate in context. As in, right around the third or fourth inning, "isn't is past time for this monotonous, appealing more from a social aspect than one of entertainment, only surpassed by golf's slow pace game to be over?"
Besides, most kids would tell you that Babe Ruth is a candy bar and Jackie Robinson was some lady - probably a track and field athlete.
It's possible to get a job without a college education, and possible to go to college without the Army. Lots of scholarships go unclaimed on a yearly basis. The key is that one needs to have a work ethic of some sort, rather than an "I need another handout" ethic. Sometimes that means failure, though, and we have a full generation who are convinced that the gov't exists solely to save each person from failure, an that success is defined by winning the lottery or a personal injury lawsuit.
The military *does* provide some discipline and a means of obtaining some self-respect, as well as some useful experience and a guaranteed "free pass to the front of the line" at lots of employers. It's in exchange for promising to risk your life for your contry. Much like gambling that you'll be able to pay for your family with a job at McDonald's, it's gambling that you'll be killed while trying to feed your family. Unfortunately, as with all gambles, some people lose.
Regardless, if there were no limits on welfare, there'd just be more people improperly taking advantage of it as a means of avoiding work.
I can get better than 9 hours out of my Thinkpad with one display, and the display certainly isn't using 100% of the power (a couple gigs of RAM and a dual-core CPU eat a little power). Another display would still be well within a reasonable usage period, considering that the Thinkpad (with more viewable area than the 17" CRT on one of my desktops) replaced a P2-based Dell that wouldn't run for more than an hour, and the Dell weighed more than twice as much. I work with people who would be excstatic if they could get even 4.5 continuous hours ouf of their existing machine...
As far as thickness - well, again, LCDs aren't all that thick or heavy - batteries are.
Look for the "alternative installer" disk if you give Ubuntu another try on the old hardware. While I generally prefer Slackware on low-end hardware (my Slackware firewall + DNS server was up for better than two years before I decided it needed updating), the newest Ubuntu with the alternative installer works ok on a machine with 64MB RAM. Less than that and you may well still have problems - but I had problems at 64MB RAM with prior releases...:)
Sorry - I'm not uninformed, having run Gentoo for better than 3 years (not sure why I keep beating my head against *that* wall) and Slackware for over 12. Gentoo doesn't teach you "more" of anything, except perhaps how to appreciate the stability and QA process Pat provides for Slackware.
Slackware doesn't have some automated wrapper that downloads and builds all of the unstable software you could want - you learn to do that on your own. It doesn't have a wrapper that takes care of updating config files - you do that on your own. It doesn't have a bunch of 'leet kids who mark things as stable or unstable on a whim - it has actual tested stable software that works.
Gentoo is a pain in the ass, and some people justify it by saying "it teaches you things". It teaches you how to make things difficult on yourself for no reason, and it teaches you that some really noisy people have no idea what compiler "optimizations" actually do - but they post on forums anyway. It teaches you to expect your distro to provide packages for every piece of software under the sun, instead of learning how to install and resolve dependencies based on./configure's output. Oh, and I guess you can edit some config files in Gentoo if you want - just like in *any* other distro.
Portage is a very nice source and binary package manager, and etc-update (and similar) are nice config management tools. The idea of not having release versions is nice too. It's too bad none of those things are used in any really good distros, though...

Yeah, but now you don't have to remember that when you reinstall / install. Helping the lazy and/or forgetful is darned handy.
If they'd just include diggler's "clear url bar" button now so I can stop blowing away my X clipboard contents when I select all to delete...
A jigsaw is not a sawzall. :)

I'm posting this from Firefox 2.0 under Ubuntu Edgy. Spell check apparently works, as it's telling me that Ubuntu is misspelled... :)
So yeah, you can probably count on it being available.
I'll be darned. Some people call circular saws "skillsaw". I guess the Skill people did make several kinds of saw... Sigh. Imprecision in language sucks.
and a Skillsaw with abrasive cutoff wheel
What? Why/how would one put an abrasive wheel on a *reciprocating* jigsaw?

Ok, I feel better now.
There's no way to anticipate ... every mod a particular community might want to make.
I think we can safely say that led fans, clear cases, and useless aluminum wings are not in the cards for these machines...
