    with so much free everything, labor will lose it's importance, and we will turn into a self indulging society of decay.

    unfortunately irc wasnt very helpful either, I don't know if it's the whole community or just the places I've been in.
    irc channels I've tried that werent very helpful were:
    #gentoo #samba #debian
    the norm was either repeat the question more than twice, and then typing in caps to see if anyone could answer it.
    you are right tho, sometimes it's just trying to find out how to make a program work.

  13. Re:Exactly on Woman Claims Ubuntu Kept Her From Online Classes · · Score: 1

    some users do require pppoe and some are just dhcp, I don't remember quite well because I worked for verizon dsl like 3 years ago, but pppoe was in decline because users wouldnt bother with it.

    HOWEVER

    users that had to configure a pppoe connection on their computers, instead on the modem/router that they get from verizon, were like 2% or less of the calls in a year for me.

    you can access the modem/router from any kind of browser as far as I could remember.

    back then we didn't have or offered linux support, some of the level 3 guys did have some linux experience, other than that, if you had linux, and didn't have experience with it, or experience with configuring the router through the browser, you were SOL.

    gimp is not an alternative to ps if you use it for professional work.
    for example :

    I've used gimp and photoshop and there are things that still need to be polished in gimp before it can be a real competitor
    I like how you can do some stuff in gimp really easy and i definitely like it, but it's not the same.

  19. is worse to other countries on At Atlantic Records, Digital Sales Surpass CDs · · Score: 1

    like in mine, i bought a cd from the 'relapse' label that costed around 24 dlls. yes thats the price for decent new cd's in my country.

    Now who in their right mind would pay that upfront again? not me, ever, the cd wasnt even that good, plus i couldnt return it. So yeah it wasnt the record company, it was a store.

    but also, i decided "f-it, if im going to spend money on music, why not buy it directly from the label" this was back at '99.

    i looked up some cd's at the Earache store, and sure it was cheap, i got 2 cd's for like 20 dlls.

    but they never came, and i got charged for it.

    Earache excuse? because the girl who managed that stuff got fired...

    how am i supposed to feel when i hear that record companies are selling less cd's now? im certainly not surprised.

  21. in other words on The Real Monsters Behind Godzilla · · Score: 1

    from the article it seems that popular culture has made godzilla widespread, so people actually believe it's public domain.

    all of the cases listed on the article had either the name godzilla or the picture of godzilla except davezilla and subway

    the guy with the blog prob didn't want to take it to court because he doesn't want to battle it out, all thought I think he would have won, from the looks of the logo, which were a) a shadow of a monster in a similar fashion to dinosaurs and b) the name 'davezilla' and subway was bad too... ok so now, they are just a)paranoid, b)greedy, c)both

    what do ppl think when they hear zilla? and who created the 'zilla'? toho...

    from wikipedia

    Popular Culture

    * The suffix "-zilla", now appended to many words. The enduring popularity of the Godzilla creature has led to "-zilla"'s contemporary usage in neologisms that describe something which is considered to be monstrous, extreme, or out of control, as in: "bridezilla" (for misbehaving brides) or "browzilla" (for large, overgrown eyebrows).

  22. Re:Target audience? on Triple-Engine Browser Released As Alpha · · Score: 3, Interesting

    so true, I don't know who else has a use for this except web developers.

    As a web developer myself I rather test a page in each browser instead of having one with 3 rendering engines in it.

    I didn't read the article but I'm guessing it only does 1 kind of ie. (maybe 7?) which is worthless because most of the problems occour in ie6 (god bless its heart)

    And most of the time, if not ever, if firefox displays it fine, then most of all the non ie browsers will do that too. And also because of firebug, I don't get that in ie... no, you did not say iedeveloper bar.

    why not have a page called trident and just put a link of all the major browsers there.

    what's so bad about access and vba isnt that its vb its that all the code is embedded into the application. you have: tables + queries + reports + forms + vba all in sales.mdb and it might be "ok" for a 1 man job, but try it with a team of ppl, its stupidity at its best. you cant merge those files together. instead of svn you just store them away in diff folders. 'luckily' good ol' microsoft thought about it, and lets you do a drag and drop operation, cute.
