Sims hell. Marry a geek chick and your life is a lot easier. I don't dare play Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo, or Age of whatever against my wife any more. She kicks my ass too bad. Now, I can take her in UT, but I have to give props to the Zerg Queen.
Sir, we've decoded the message. It's worse than we thought. It says: "Have fun at the party tonight? I still need to get the smoke out of my clothes."
It's obvious what's going on. They've been building and testing bombs. The guy admits to haveing smoke in his clothes. They even made a party out of it.
Wait, maybe it's code. They're talking about bombing the republican party! Quick, bring that guy in for questioning.
I thought they did it because cellphones are so damn annoying. When you're pumping gas, you're a captive audience. I don't care to hear your new ring tone, or hear your heated phone conversation. And when I'm waiting in line behind you, I want you to pump your gas, and move on, not sit around talking on the phone.
I've done it with many gas pumps, they all automatically stop when the gas reaches the top. How else would you know the tank is full? Do you just pull the pump out periodically and stick your finger in to see if you feel gas?
I run microsoft Office under Linux with Wine all the time. I use CrossOver Office to simplify the install, but CrossOver is just a modified version of Wine. Works great.
I think this is the reason why it's a problem. Just like before Napster, file trading was happening all over the place. IRC, Newsgroups, FTP, etc. Napster just made it easier. It's this ease that made it so big.

Exactly, and what of those m4ps you bought from the iTunes Music Store. How will Music Match handle those when they get sync'd? Probably not very well.
As ESR writes in "The Cathedral and the Bazaar," it is important for a project manager to know when they're no longer interested in maintaining a package, and hopefully find someone to turn it over to. Perhaps that is the case here, maybe the author is not interested in the project any more, and no one has stepped up.
Can you please elaborate on how sliced bread helped the literary world? Or, perhaps, you could explain again how sheep's bladders can be employed to prevent earthquakes...
> possibly the best thing to happen to the literary world since...sliced bread.
Yeah, because in the 8 years that Clinton was in office, Gas prices were, what, 4-6 dollars a gallon, just like everywhere else, right? It wasn't until the Repubs got into office that they started screwing the ecology with cheap gas. bad naughty repubs.
I firewall my machines at home, and have had no problems with any p2p programs. Your client contacts the server, and the server issues requests. I download what I want, and people download from me, yet the firewall is blocking all non-requested inbound traffic.
I agree about the optional part, but in the other direction. It should be turned on by default, and you can request it to be turned off. I start caring if some other person's Port X is abused when their machine starts attacking mine, or those of my company. If you even know what a port is, you're miles ahead of most of the people who are catching, and distributing, these worms. You would know to call your ISP and have them turn your port, or all the ports, back on again. The unwashed masses who are spreading the worms certainly wouldn't.
Are there REALLY that more people using text messaging now than there were people using telephones/email/and regular old face-to-face communication previously? I just don't see how something like text messaging can increase communication to such a degree that it is being felt in movie studios.
So, how long will it be before the method by which Microsoft intends to push these patches on the unsuspecting masses gets reverse engineered? Then, Mr. Hacker just writes MS Blaster 2.0, and sends it out as if it was a patch.
Your program must have been flawed. You should definitely always take the other door. Think of it this way. Suppose you chose a door. And, instead of opening one, Monty says "Ok, here's a new deal. You can either keep your door, or trade it for both the other doors." What would you do? If you took both the other doors, how suprised would you be to find that one of the doors was a loser? That's exactly the deal he is making with you, except he's just showing you the losing door earlier.
I personally like the way that Squirrelmail does it. If the image was sent with the email, it displays. If it wsn't, it gets replaced with "Image removed for security reasons."
As for why you need HTML in email, I can't say I actually need it, but it is helpful in email based reports. We generate reports from script runs, and formatting the reports into HTML tables before sending them out makes them a LOT easier to read.

It was a test to see if we can slashdot slashdot.

well, yes, plenty.

Likewise when we discovered Pluto, it wasn't that big a deal since mathematically, we already knew it had to be there.

And, let's just say that you can no longer get VNC for Mac OS X at osxvnc.com either....

What are you talking about? There aren't any "Future American Programmers." They're all in India now, didn't you hear?

Yes, I am running a Linux firewall. But, I don't recall having any problems even when running a Linksys firewall.

I always thought they were more "Customer Service."
You also need to reboot the thing for a freakin' web browser upgrade. What's up with that?
