Jumper settings for 15,000-18,000+ cards, motherboards, and peripherals. Most useful with older computers (mostly since newer ones don't use jumpers as much).
Sabrina isn't mine, but I saw someone here referring to her as his. I've also seen a bit of her on America's Most Wanted and we got one of those "Have you seen me?" things in the mail once. I've not once seen any of those people, that I know of.
Since she appears to belong to a fellow Slashdotter, I thought I'd put that there. So many people put http://www.slashdot.org as their homepage -- that's silly.. I already know about Slashdot.
Anyway...the typo wasn't completely fabricated. I actually did type forte when I meant for the, at first.
What about when you install new hardware and Windows does that New Hardware Wizard thing? You think it cached that earlier? "Ah, I sense you're going to install a new video card in me! I'd better get that driver ready!"
Maybe you should have pointed out that Windows is booting from a fast harddrive while Knoppix gets the CDROM drive, which is usually slower. Or maybe Windows is just faster (*gasp* Never!).

Each a Separate World is probably the better track in that compilation. Many of them were actually written by others. I also really enjoy Even Here We Are, originally written by Paul Westerberg. Somewhere Over the Rainbow is a little painful to listen to, though. The tough notes and the crappy encoding are most of the problem.

Spanish and Portuguese are very similar, but I don't know enough of either to be able to distinguish between them. It could also be Italian, but I doubt it.
So, yes, it's obvious that it could be Portuguese. However, the "could" puts some uncertainty in there. So, I asked.

Tá na hora de dormir.
What language is this? I've taken a bit of Spanish and I would translate "hora de dormir" as "the time of sleeping" (or something like that). However, I've not heard either "tá" or "na", though they sound like "tú" (you) and "no" (no). So, I'd then translate it as something like "You're not at the time of sleeping." which sounds horrible...but most things I translate from Spanish to English sound terrible, so it's not surprising.
Nevertheless, I'd be interested to know what language this is and/or what it means.
Thanks.

Perhaps it's just IE's implementation of smoothscroll that annoys you.
I haven't seen what the smooth scrolling for Mozilla will look like, but it shouldn't be too far away. I would hope that the Mozilla guys have thought it out a little better than the IE team. We shall see.
For example, make it really clear to users enabling file sharing that people can and will try to break in if they connect to the Internet, so strong passwords or other security means are really necessary.
He must've missed the Slackware Math class where we learned the new numbering system:
1.... 2.... 3.... 4.... 7.... 8.... 9....
(For those who aren't familiar with Slackware: After version 4, Patrick Volkerding - in an attempt to one-up the other distros (they were releasing their v6's:) ) decided to bump the version number up 2 notches. So, there never was a Slackware 5 or 6.)
I'm reading these comments from people who've done this sort of testing and others who know people who've done this stuff. They all pretty much say the same thing: It sucks.
So, if there's this sucky job requiring lots of repetition, and precision, and exact recording of what's going on, why are people doing this? Can't the game coders make bots that can run through the game and do this-or-that repeatedly? Can't they test these things as they go?
There is no period in Dr Pepper. There's a joke I remember reading about bad similes and one was something like "...he was missing but not noticed, like the period in Dr Pepper..."
(Just one of those things that helps you remember. Like, "Never use a preposition to end a sentance with.")
I did this for a while, too. And the "At school/work." ones. And other ones if I felt that my being away granted my "buddies" to know why I was away.
Then I thought "Hey, I'm letting them know I'm away, as well as anyone else who may have my screenname, and AOL/TW and friends." I'm sorry, but as nice as they've been with AIM so far (I've never received AIM spam...*knock knock knock*) I just didn't like the idea of AOL knowing my schedule.
Hell, I wouldn't be surprised at all if they log all conversations.

I could possibly even be tied in to some future service like X-Box live.
Are you going to come over to my house and clean my toilets and vacuum and cook for me while I play XBox Live?
That would be nice.
Can it explain this?

Michael Robertson? I thought mp3.com was already pretty big when he sold it off(?).
Ah, but it is pronounced like for-tay when you are referring to music.
Michael Jackson is not my for-tay.

Heh. Thanks, but I did that on purpose, since I knew someone would feel the need to correct me.
Thank you for falling into my trap. Watch out in the future!
You idiot! It's "its", not "it's" when you don't mean "it is".

With the above, right click and copy-paste it into another browser window. Also, note that the bug has an alias "smoothscroll" so you don't have to remember it's number.
For example, make it really clear to users enabling file sharing that people can and will try to break in if they connect to the Internet, so strong passwords or other security means are really necessary.
It's a good thought, but consider this:

Maybe you could explain further?
You know, like, how do we find this account? What is it?
Shrink the time variable. Maybe 1 month of conversations. That would be pretty feasible. Don't forget that it's text, and thus very compressible.
