And? We think that about people speaking exclusively Spanish or some other language further north, too. Lots of Hispanics working in the chicken plants here in southwest Missouri, for example, and when I hear them speak to one another in public, it's almost always in Spanish.
I understand that it's not always possible to learn English before you come to live here, but you should make the effort to learn it regardless, and you especially shouldn't exclusively speak a foreign language to your children. That's not fair to them, and it will hurt their chances for work later on. If I chose to go live in Germany (for example), I would do my best to learn German and teach my children to speak and read/write it.
Slashdot has been looking a lot better on Lynx lately, and it renders well on ELinks as well.
I don't use those browsers much anymore, but in the early '00s I used lynx + zgv to view web comics, images, etc., and it worked quite well indeed. I don't think svgalib is well-supported anymore, though.
Does anyone know of a console-mode image viewer that works on modern systems? It'd be neat to be able to do that again.
True, but that seems to depend on which denomination you're in. Some of our American fundamentalist protestants criticize the religious status quo because it doesn't allow them to teach creationism in schools, and because teachers also aren't allowed to lead their students in prayers.
I do admire some Christians, such as my father-in-law, who try to live the life as they understand it and be a positive example to others without being preachy, and I wish more people would be broadly that way. I just can't bring myself to agree with their metaphysical/theological views.
That's actually what my workplace (a public university) does. We've got campus-wide unencrypted 802.11g and a place where students can get their computers serviced cheaply ($5 to $35, depending on what's done, plus some support from tech fees).
The core problem is ISPs getting off their duffs to support IPv6. I'm ready for it at home (save for an old cable modem), but my ISP doesn't yet support DOCSIS 3.0 and IPv6, and this is a common problem.
Yeah, great, but the screensaver could still be running in the background eating electrons. Just because it's not being displayed doesn't mean it's not happening.
That's not a workaround, if your goal is to save power. Screensavers, especially 3D-accelerated ones, use power. If you set the 'saver to "blank screen" that is fine.
Suspend-to-RAM. Comes up faster than hibernate, and sucks minimal power as long as you remember to shut the monitor off. On mine the only thing getting power is the RAM; the fans and drives are all turned off.

You fail utterly. Didn't even check that your URL was correct before you submitted did you? Seppuku is the only honorable option left for you.
Cite on those MiG-29s? I was under the impression that NK's air force was rather obsolete.

It's that thing hanging between your legs.
Also it's the belief that if Johnny Foreigner is going to come live here, he should learn to speak the language.
ogg123 and mpg321 are my media players.
And foobar2000 when I'm running Windows.
I'm helping to kill the planet, one fine single-malt Scotch at a time.
Works pretty well for me, actually, same for ELinks.
No AJAXy stuff, of course, but the rest works OK.
Shame they can't re-write for a modern toolkit like QT or WxWidgets, though.
That's extremely awesome! Thanks!

Depends on how it's taught, doesn't it?

Who still uses IE 5.5? I think even Windows 95 could be upgraded to IE6.

No plans to get rid of computer labs, though.
but they surely will still have their respective slants on stories, which political cartoons they carry, and so on.
Sweet! Thanks.

But you see, God won't allow that to happen because the Chinese are a bunch of dirty atheists. Also God won't let global warming wreck the planet.
I know people who really think that way.
Holy dogshit, someone on the Internet who knows what "begging the question" actually means.
Can I bear your children?

Assuming hibernation works for you. It doesn't for me.
Oh. The picture showed one big chute with the whole arrangement pretty near the ground.
