Nontheless, it still does mean that we can start to look for nearly-throw-away monitors. -- I mean, who's going to mind that their 19" monitor only lasts a year if the replacement panel only costs $15? (I'm presuming that, by the time they get to market, the green LEPs will have a somewhat longer life.
The blue LEP's only last 1000 hours which is little more than a month. These things will not be used for desktop monitors until that number gets up closer to the 30000 hours that the green LEPs are alleged to last.

I was sure that they were talking about usenet with the expression Internet news readers until I noticed that the news reader was the user and not the tool.
BTW, be careful what you wish for. I still read news and I'm really pretty happy that most clueless newbies don't. And when they do show up they usually end up needing a flame retardent garment after they've blundered their way into a group without reading the FAQ.
One thing I note about banner ads is that if I see one that catches my eye it's almost inevitably just after I've click a link to move on to another page. But since the ads are most often random one cannot return and find the same ad.
Mind you with adzap running on squid I am rarely confronted by this issue.
I detest sites with 4" columns. Read read, scroll scroll scroll, read, scroll... There are several examples of 'artsy' sites that I no longer visit because of their persistant use of 3" or 4" columns. It's ok to use narrow columns on the main page so that lots of stories can be presented in a small space but when it comes to reading the article I want it to go margin to margin, or nearly so at least.
Indeed. Before I had my cable connection chez moi I used to turn off graphics in Netscape and would only click the show graphics button if it was really necessary.
Packard Bell's are crap. They got nailed for trying to sell off second hand components as new before NEC bought the company. I don't know what kind of drugs the lackwits at NEC are doing to have bought into this fucking company. Before they bought PB I had always respected NEC for quality monitors, at least, now I wouldn't buy a one dollar digital watch from them.
I couldn't believe how bad that movie was by the time I got round to renting it. I'd heard bad things but never imagined that they could fsck it up as much as they did. That little kid was just toooooo ultra annoying. I wished he would have been killed in that race. That would have served the little bugger right!
And it's not like I'm just a picophobe or anything. I mean, I really liked that kid in the Sixth Sense.
That's exactly what I was thinking when I saw the specs for this board. Especially the choice of 66MHz ram since this stuff is getting harder to find, at the corner store anyway. And the number of ISA slots was reminiscent of the early PII boards.
Well you're right about IE resizing better than Netscape. But I use netscape because it's not IE, because I'm stuck with enough of their crappy software (most of it is shite, Word 97, Excel, Win95, Win95a, Win95b, Win95c, Win98, Win98SE, NT4...) at work -- thank god that I don't have to use IIS cause I would kill myself. I use Netscape instead of IE in the same way that I drink coffee instead of coke; because coke sucks anyway and it's just an incredibly disgusting beverage, why anyone drinks this shite is beyond me.
Mozilla is getting close and it's ability to resize is even nicer, IMHO, than IE. Of course, the Micro$oft software engineers have access to the mozilla code:)
When I was a kid there were a series of Saturday morning public service type ads encouraging the kiddies to share because it was nice, "It's nice to share." Apparently Bill Gates never listened. I can see him as one of these kids who never shares his toys, but then always ends up playing alone, acned, rejected, embittered.
Is anyone else sick of the tedious and unimaginitive 'gate' suffix to indicate some kind of scandal? Americans are possibly the worst at dealing with their scandals (oh boy, they really showed Nixon) anyway. Although it will be interesting the first time the Brits catch Prince William getting an illicit blowjob and we get to experience WillyGate. Now that would be a good 'un! Ok, now I'm feeling ambiguous about the whole issue.

Bzzzt. Thanks for playing. This variety of hacking is perfectly legitimate. One day the L^Husers of the world will no the difference between hacking (aka cracking) and hacking (aka hacking). And it seems that your consulting business is better off in a world of terrified customers lining up to use your services. Linux will NEVER have an unsullied image in the world of the suits just as the suits are generally regarded with repugnance by most computer geeks (until they devolve into suits.) Boycott Coke, McDonalds, Disney, the lot!
Zactly. This is typical of companies like IBM (although I haven't held them in as much contempt as even a year or two ago). And if they're LVM implementation is anything like the AIX horror story...
Why don't they just offer to work with the current LVM project?
You'd think that these little weiners would start encrypting their strings internally to prevent this. Even a simple XOR encryption would do the trick.
The problem isn't so much that Windoze has hidden files, but that their definition of a hidden file completely ignores the file attribute. As far as explorer is concerned, a hidden file is either hidden, system or dll. And there's no easy way to toggle display of these fscking files.
No, this is just another example of why they should take the Microsoft marketing twits, who decided that file extensions were to hard to use, out back and euthanatize the lackwits to put them out of their misery. Ooops, too late.
And yet this is the info found on symantec concerning the so-called Serbian.trojan.
This trojan horse attempts to download a program file from the Internet and execute it. The intended program file is no longer available on the Internet, thus it currently poses no threat to users.
This, in the context of the cnn report, I find to be a little bit creepy. And how the fsck do they know that the file is no longer available on the Internet? And then they go on,
This trojan horse was originally posted to an adult Internet newsgroup on June 7, 2000. It was described as an adult movie file. However, it actually attempts to download the file http://www.lomag.net/~ryan1918/MySissy.mpg.exe from the Internet and launch it after it has been downloaded. It performs no other actions. The program file no longer exists at this Internet address, thus this trojan horse essentially does nothing and poses no threat to users.
Montreal, btw, is the only city left in North America where one is encouraged to live a life outside of work/home. Of course one must deal with the continuous ranting of the french language fascists but that's a small price to pay for this way of life. Check it out!
Yup. I haven't gone to see what these sites, that are allegedly in violation of this show's copyright, look like but assuming, for the moment, that they are really just fan sites then there should be a legal provision provided for these types of sites to exist without having to jump through all sorts of legal hoops. Otherwise fan sites are going to end up being just grey sites as envisioned by the digital divas.
This strikes me as being mean spirited and morally bankrupt. I feel that I should have a right to comment on shows that are in the public domain. Corporations must be given less constitutional protection in the ew-ess. How about zero constitional protection. The lawyers, the corporate variety at least, should be summarily... well it would be nice for a little while but no doubt there'd be lots to fill their shoes.

There's just no arguing with fsckwits like this guy. It's obvious to the vast majority of clear thinking people that this kind of behaviour is anti-social, at minimum. I used to become infuriated by that Spamford Wallace character a few years back when he was generally being an asshole and taunting everyone who disagreed with his conception of acceptable email behaviour. No more, fuck it, life's to short, now I just hit Del.
Unfortunately we have two options. Spam is either made illegal by legislative means, which bugs the net-anarchist types to no end. Or try to continue dealing with spam via the current means, that is, filters, MAPS RBL, etc. I'm not sure which way I lean (which is often where I find myself when the self-righteous right, left, commie, objectivist, whatever types are going at it.)
That reminds me. Last week that peahead on zdnet Jesse Burst claimed that MAPS RBL was some newfangled tool that ISP's use to prevent spam. A modicum of research by the ad mongers at zdnet would have revealed the purpose of RBL. What a maroon!
Oh shut up. You're all a bunch of redneck morons in Alberta anyway. Especially Calgary. And that fat fascist fuck Klein makes the wingnut running Ontario look like Anne of Green Gables.
1. Get the PDF form. There is a web based version here, but it prints worse. 2. Fill it out 3. Get a photocopy of your drivers license or something and have it notorized. 4. Fax it or mail it. It takes around 3-4 days.

That must explain why they keep turning down your article submissions at sciam. Perhaps you should take a hint and submit to another publication.

If the clip is repackaged as a .exe. Most Lusers have no clue about the difference between an .mpg, jpg, exe, doc, ...
I work with profs who still don't ken the difference after working with these file extension associations for the past decade.
