1. Let us disable the underlined letters in UI elements that signify the accelerators And how is one supposed to know what combiantion to use for accelerators? Mind reading interface?
Indeed, i've been in a lot of european countries and usually i get a local sim for not spending much for calling. And in none of the the countries i've been was supposed to pay for recieving sms's
Instead whenever i worked with people from EDS it was for SUN servers. And they do have some pretty big hosting costumers and support contracts on SUN servers.... But to be fair i usually work with SUN stuff so obviously i've seen more that side.
But probably someone from EDS can tell more.
Actually i've never followed pidgin's developement. But while we are in here, i think it's probably the best IM client around with one of the worst UI's... And dogmas... (with that i mean "we dont plan to support cams" and such).
Functionality wise IMO kopete rocks, but no socks in there and protocol additions are far lagging compared to gaim/pidgin.
Anyway, back to pidgin, one of the reasons to use more IM accounts is that you can separate contacts on accounts, one for job people, one for girlfriends (damn, i forgot it's slashdot 8-) ) and so on. Now, try logging in with the button on pidgin just one of the accounts. At least i didnt found a way to do it. Now add this stupid "we know what you need" arrogance...
Sad.
Indeed, good that they separeted the GUI from the rest.
Now back to my raki:)

Hmm, so this means that that old portal will implode under its weight Time to create another junkmail
Man, you even cared to use "dim" and "set", what a perfectionist!:)
Remembering the days i had to use this for living this "language" wont be missed from me at least.
Thing is, why would you leave ports open in your laptop even if only accessible from the "inside lan"? And damnit, why from the router even if you need filesharing from different computers?
(not an english speaker so sorry if im not clear and ask in case)
Hmm, i'm not sure on that keynesian tradeoff you say between inflation and jobs. I thought the main new that Keynes brought in the _neoclassical_ economics was that multiplicator, investiment * N = gain.
That said, keynesian theory was applied in real countries, but not much on USA, if ever there at all.
And after that, all neoclassic economics theory, all that fancy stuff of wild greedy forces tending to full employment, perfect balance of capital and prime products usage, perfect distribution of goods and money... well, was just that... wishfull thining unfortunately.... That's because of the assumptions done on defining a marked, too trivial and far from reality (non frictional costs, no entry/exit costs for markets, perfect knowledge of the marked from all operators,..... )
Thing is, although those theories are even broken on their own basis, people are yet used to those.
Ok, i digressed a bit.
As about the jobs that had been created and the other jobs never exploited because of the formers as you were saying, you forgot another more subtle economic distinction, the one between research and technology.
Technology even in the neoclassical economical conception is a given in mid/short term, but variable in long term. And it gets better (imprecise term, me being short) from research.
Now, as i see things, space exploration is research. Something by definition not quantificable in monetary terms, but the strongest weapon us miserable beings have to create something hopefully better for us.
Man.
Now as much as i hate fundamentalists and paranoids the point we've reached in technology and what it let's us as people reach, thinking of all this reminds me of some interview of Stallman, where the guy admits to never even browse with a browser, or telnet FWIW. Using a smtp deamon that returns back web pages....
Somehow is like reading 1984. Damnit, it's nearly that reality now.
Oh well, fuck it. Never let paranoia be your lead.
Actually, a self-driving car WOULD get better gas mileage. Computers aren't reasonable, but they're logical.
It wouldn't race to the next red light, but infuriate you (like I do my passengers) by taking its virtual foot off the virtual gas pedal as soon as the light ahead turned red
Yeah, wannasee the show with you driving and the usual grandmother in front of you on a fiat 600 (the new model) going at 30Kmph during cruising from one light to the other.
It wouldn't waste gas idling at the green light with its finger up its ass
It wouldn't go east to get west (unless Microsoft made its nav system)
Uhm?!? Whatever.
It wouldn't pick the route with the most stop signs
You can already improve your mileage on the interstate (or autobahn) by using your cruise control.
-mcgrew Man, i bet you've never been driving in Rome.
And while we are at it, would be funny to watch those cars drive in Napoli.

And you think you're gaining disk space raring videos?
Yes, having an unix underneath a nice graphical desktop environment.
Those are waiting for GNU Emacs D.E. to run under GNU hurd, forgot?

Fucks's sake, some good sense man! Even notepad let's you change the damn window size.

Nice subject ;)
As for the rest ... in an ideal world maybe. I dont think in this one though
Does does it's ring have another ring too? Oh well, the more i think about it the more i'm convinced Saturn must have piercings too. Love that fetish

Err, should be:
#include
int WinMain(HINSTANCE, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, int)
{
MessageBox(0, (const char *) (1/0), "", MB_OK);
return 0;
}
Man, you even cared to use "dim" and "set", what a perfectionist! :)

what they are experts in, interoperability!
Sigh, the hours me and friends spent on this one .... this were the games indeed!
I was 13, my first computer a shiny MSX Philips with 516KB RAM. The MSX Basic interpreter with row numbers is to blame for what i become.

Damnit!
Add to that the 3 teets girls and that new drugs, nymphetamines!!!

Of course only if the gulty one is not a company.
No, no no no and NO! It should had been: I for one welcome our new Autorobot Overlords! Damnit!
