So at our company I put ie.search.msn.com in the local DNS and routed it to *our* webserver.
Thus we get a company themed search page with useful links tailored to each user or dept (based on cookies and/or IP). Even on new installs and laptops.
I use the technique to replace banner ads with our own banners. Seeing Dave's face when he got a "Get Back to Work Dave" animated gif banner when he visited slashdot was a peach. I'd re-routed images.slashdot.org to a local address and used the IP to choose the banner.
it's the writers/producers who are the clever ones
Pete Waterman has had over 3000 number one singles around the world as a producer with artists such as Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Timmy Mallet, Mel and Kim
All pretty crud stuff but you can't argue with the numbers
The charts are about who can play the charts not who makes the best music, always have been, always will be.
Any time you have anything that says "sales and airplay" you've lost it
I buy my stuff from the same guy month in month out. Just like the parent post he's generally 10% more expensive than I *could* get it mail order.
But I know that when I get home if it doesn't work I can walk back in the next day and just say "it doesn't work for me. I think it's the item / my PC" and either get money back or the right part without having to have a song and dance about what I tried etc. Much better than waiting 3 months for an RMA to go to the manufacturer and back!
He also gives me a few quid off his price list price which I value. He knows that I know I can buy cheaper. He also knows that I will take stock that's not in a box or is even cosmetically damaged (scratched cases for example).
Plus you've got to respect someone that doesn't open Mondays and @ about 10-10.30 am on other days. He knows we've just about finished our email by then.

If you are on win32 and feel like playing god, then go and get The Proxomitron
inventor : "Hi, I've had this great idea for a new mouse, it's got a phone handset built into it" vc : "Really, let's do it, I can't imagine anyone not wanting one of those"
'cos they only like it when market forces drive the prices upwards. When the forces apply pressure to the price the companies fight back. It's all perfectly natural but it's a shame they never admit these things.
Slashdot Mirror
aye, but there is a scope for reuse
:
t .h tm
for instance when one presses "search" from the internet explorer toolbar a panel opens on the left with the page

plenty of fun but productive too
Reverse engineering for compatibility
Besides I dont remember going into a contract that my DNS queries would yield the same results as microsoft's.
host files are great, more fun than firewalling
like this one
dual p3 1ghz
I got the mobo & cpu's cheap with an eye to moving it to a server when I buy my next PC at probably around the 4Ghz mark
route it to a proper machine and log what comes out

Lorry drivers have needs to ya know
windows doesn't mount anything!
not sure if it counts as a mount but in XP you can add a drive and have it start at any folder in the tree.
You can have 4 ide drives all under c:
And equally interesting is what did he think he was going to use them for?
People who should know better should know that there is no standard keyboard
brandelf -t Linux /path/to/file
(case sensitive)
I just ran is successfully but hit CTRL-c by accident (windows copy in wrong window!)
.something directories and dies if they aren't in a good state
When I tried to restart I got an ASSERT error
the server makes a few
can't tell you which ones, I dumped the whole directory and strated from scratch before I noticed
think that just about says it all tbh
me too
fantastic
cheese?!
how barbarian
not linux but may as well mention it

have you never seen "The Mouse on The Moon"
To me RMA is almost the magic word.

no source, so one can only be Jesus
incredible
how do such devices get past a certain stage.
inventor : "Hi, I've had this great idea for a new mouse, it's got a phone handset built into it"
vc : "Really, let's do it, I can't imagine anyone not wanting one of those"
even more so when some clever apps [specifically Wily] use mouse chording for cut & paste.
It's hard enough finding mice with 3 working buttons (and not a wheel).
that's odd
I use kde2 stuff all the time and I use enlightenment
konqueror works just fine
is kde3 different in this respect?

That would be everyone in the world.
Yeah, the 4 out of 5 humans that don't even have access to a public telephone will be beating their fists in rage when the word filters through.
go away
amusing retort but our bot is much more sophisticated than that
It interfaces with our project manager and bug reporting system
At any time we can say "!bugs projectname"
and get a list of open bugs.
"!info PersonsName"
and get the address book entry for matching people
"!grep regex"
and it will search through the irc log and return matching entries
"!urls [regex]"
return logged urls, optionally matching regex
etc. etc.
