The original example for scrambled text talked about random rearrangement of letters in a word.
The example given is all but random rearrangement. Actually, every word is scrambled the same way, making them as different as the original as possible (keep the first and last letter the same, and invert all the remaining letters). So maybe yes, for truly random rearrangement of letters, it may be mostly understandable. I, for one, welcome our new random letter rearrangement overloards.
With a Dell Inspiron 3800. The Windows Update shows an audio driver (Certified!) that causes a BSOD during the update, and every time after reboot, until you try to recover from the CD, which leaves Windows in an identity crisis that makes it not know if it has already been updated with the latest patches or not (and not allowing you to install updates that show up in windows update, of course)
Last month I've been to the Bay Area for 10 days, and wondered where I could find "Geek Tour" recommendations. I even asked slashdot, but it haven't been posted. Anyway, I found the two following links, which have some good recomendations: Geek Tour and The Geek Guide to Sillicon Valley. Enjoy.
There is a very interesting presentation on the design and development of windows NT/2000 presented on USENIX here (google HTML rendition here). I love to bash Microsoft too, but reading it, there are at least some decisions that I think they did right.
...or just a play on words with "Jobs" and "Wozniak"?:) Hell, if I had a name like that I would also be promoted to president of hardware product marketing.
Check this out. Apple sued the hell out of them, so they eventually gave up. (well, not really them, but threatened, through the US government, brazilian exports, so the government made them give up) My professor have one of these machines in a shelf in his room at uni.
They are not only buzzwords. They have been used too long as propaganda during the cold war era by the government (Let's see, what can we use to justify that we are right and they are wrong? Freedom!) to justify an economic and politic event.
Population was led to believe that soviets were monsters because they didn't have the freedom that americans had, but most americans couldn't even figure out what freedom really meant. The funny thing is that the same people (Rumsfeld et al.) is trying to convince americans that the terrorists attack the USA because of freedom, and then what they do? Remove some freedoms from the people! Makes a lot of sense, only in the politics logic.
...from India and from the US. I pay about R$ 75/month for a 256/128k DSL in Brazil. That is around US$23. Cheap? Well, no, the minimum wage here is R$240 (US$75).
Isn't there any module to apache that would look up the HTTP referrer header of the request and if it comes from slashdot, display a minimum bandwidth ("slashdot sucks") version of the page?
It is (was) a little known fact that OO can connect to mysql using ODBC. It is just a little hard getting it to work, but you can find info here and here. You can have an access lookalike with OO, ODBC and mysql.
I wonder if the video transfer is anamorphic. It says it is 2.35:1 letterboxed, but some people call any video that is wider than 16:9 letterboxed, because it always has horizontal bars, even if the transfer is anamorphic.
If I had mod points, they would be yours. Money is not interchangable. US can print dollars, but it definitely can't print Euros or any other currency. Anyone from Brazil or Argentina knows that money can have a variable value. For years Brazil had it's currency, the Real, valued the same as the USD. The same for the Argentinian Peso. Some years ago, Brazil decided to leave the exchange rates free, and today a dollar is worth about 3,5 reais. (this change in economy politics is claimed to have broken Argentina by many economists. Argentina kept the "articial" rate of 1 Peso 1 Dollar, getting uncompetitive with Brazil.) The prices in Brazil on the street are pretty much the same than then, (30% higher at most), so things are extremely cheap for foreigners who visit here, and imported things are extremely expensive for us. No one could argue with me yet that this is not a war about the Euro vs Dollar.

Well, imagine the waste of paper it would do if it *did* print every interaction.
It's not a bug it's a feature!

The image is this. Seems like they will soon file a patent for the touchtone version to.
Brasil Telecom: 59,90 + BR Turbo (14,90). Since may/02. You can get cheaper prices now, but I think they are for slower speeds.

I compress to binary 0, therefore I am not.. :(
I think they wouldn't tell anyone. Yeah, definitely.
Doing that would warn me how my serial number was not acquired legally. :)

Oh yeah? And what about hanging from those buildings in spiderman? I bet that fucked up his back! :)

Why haven't you tried pgp4pine yet? There are even more pgp/gpg/pine integration filters available. You can find them on Google.
