Damn it bugs me that the home buttonis on the personal toolbar. put it back on the damn button bar where it belongs. It's been there on every bloody browser since I first downloaded that first version of the ncsa mosaic browser oh so many bloody years ago.
I want to look up and see a little picture of a fucking house and click on it and end up at my homepage.
Yeah, a database like this would be a good thing, if one could navigate their way through the site hosting it without threatening to kill the site developers.
Did anyone else have problems logging in and staying logged into this bloody site? It took me three logins, one login reset, and a couple of visits to yahoo to get a password to this f@!%ing site.
And after all of that, I wasn't even able to view any results from other users, only those that I'd entered myself.

Assembly is meant to optimise critical bits of code. I've never rewritten any code in assembler to make it smaller, although that is normally a side effect. I write it in assembler to make it FASTER!!!
Have they improved their crappy installer? If they ever want to make it outside of the clueful user category they're going to have to improve their installation process under every conceivable condition. And if an installation is restarted it should continue from where it left off, if at all possible. And the install logging is pathetic. A list of packages that have been installed. Nothing about the state of the machine at each stage, which would be useful.
There, now my Monday morning rant, however lame, is done I can get on with my coding, which will be bug free and highly optimised, first time, every time.
Think about what you've said for a minute. I'll assume by the syntax of your sentence that you're young, and so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Your argument against one, of many, of the seminal ideas of someone with intellectual prowess of Alan Turing will not cut the mustard in the world of AI research, I'm afraid. Obviously? What is obvious about your hypothesis (that the Turing Test is completely subjective)? And how do you move from your hypothesis to your conclusion, ie., that the smarter of (sic) a person you are..., without any observation or analysis of results.
The biggest problem with your hypothesis, after reading your conclusion, is your lack of observation and analysis.
No no no. You don't get it. It's not because mozilla can't render the site, it's because the site doesn't recognise the browser's identity. The changes shouldn't be difficult, most modern sites should do this in one included function.
Besides this whole mess started because Microsoft went ahead and changed the goddamn standards and since they controlled the market, bla bla bla
Try cable. CAN $30/mon (since I already subscribe to digital cable) for up to 350KB/s download... of course upload is only about 10KB/s, still better than a 56K modem and it's always connected.
I've lost one quantum drive (40GB) on an ABIT KT7 with the VIA vt82c686a. At the time the machine was running Windoze 2000 for reasons that are beyond the scope of this comment. When I finally fdisk'd and put on the SGI Redhat 7.1 with XFS install everything went swimmingly but the drive is reporting periodic BadCRC errors and DriveNotReady. There's been a lot of talk about this but no real resolution as far as I can tell. Most often it is attributed to bad cables, but unless I've had four bad cables I doubt that to be the case.
Nothing, perhaps, to do with the IBM deathstars but I felt like typing for a bit. That urge is quickly being replaced by the urge to read in bed (a paperback, specifically David Copperfield by some guy named Dickens.)
This would require everyone to get off their collective fat asses, and out of their bloody
death machines and go for a walk. I suppose a similar device could be fashioned from spare parts to generate electricity whilst riding a bicycle, but that too would require getting off one's fat fucking ass.
And don't even mention the people who won't get off their fat ass but insist on driving and talking on cell phones and nearly killing a certain computer programmer, who shall continue to remain nameless, every morning. Don't!
So twice the upload speed of a 56K modem and 100 times the download speed sucks does it? I suppose for an 11 year old it would be an appropriate response. It doesn't suck when I can download an entire RH distro in less than half an hour.
It's a stepping stone to a future where we all have fibre into our homes. But even that will most likely be severely restricted, especially in the US where RIAA and MPAA lobbyists will work to ensure that it is very difficult for home users to share files.
That is, assuming that the US still exists in its present form and that those lunatic islamists haven't infiltrated the system enough to sabatoge infrastructure. I won't even go into the nuclear or biological warfare issues.
Sucked? Wasn't PA-RISC able to blow the socks off of Sun's offerings, in the early 90's. Their performance was, at the time, unbeatable execpt perhaps by Alpha but it seems to me that they were always neck 'n neck. Granted the HP chips were bloody expensive once incorporated into a workstation, which is where the Alpha really won the war. HP has never been the swiftest of marketers, but their forte was scientific and engineering tools until the laserjet arrived on the scene.
What is it with these ugly ass lawyers hired by these organisations that are dispised by so many right (and by that I mean left) minded people? For another example, check out the bitch lawyer that the Scientologists (used to?) use as their pitbull press solicitor.
According to this Urban Legends site, the song's use of a real phone number drove many customers nuts. There isn't any concensus as to whether a real Jenny with that number really existed, so VH1 is most likely full of doo doo.
Apple is like the catholic church, all image. Microsoft is like a southern fundamentalist bible thumper, get in my way and you'll pay! Linux is like your basic secular humanist atheist. BSD is like Judaism, bow down before my OS, the first, the only, the true.

You're one of those guys who Homer takes to task at the press conference announcing the annoying dog in the Itchy and Scratchy show, right? Come on, admit it.
Agreed, Singh's book is a remarkably good read. Lots of encryption science, presented to the layman, sprinkled with generous anecdotes. Lots of fun, page turner, couldn't put it down, two thumbs up, all of that rot.
Very interesting field, of course we all knew that anyway, but I'm not sure I'd want to go up against the NSA in any form these days.
And if you still haven't figured out, or forgotten, how to apply a patch, assuming you've got linux-2.4.9 installed in/usr/src/linux,
cd/usr/src/linux
bzcat../patch-2.4.10.bz2 | patch -p0
If you've got an earlier version, download the patches up to the newest and apply them one by one from oldest to newest.
Then do a 'make oldconfig' to update to your existing.config. I usually save mine before patching,
Talk about anti-american! Where the hell are the Capitalists when you need 'em. I thought the Justice Department was supposed to try to do something about this sort of talk... wha?... no shit!... oh, never mind.
They claim to be a company based in Redmond Washington, but it appears to be a front for a company that is actually based in Richmond, BC, just north of the border (Canada is north of the US just about everywhere in case you were wondering, and for those geographically challenged Yanks out there.) Check out 'whois linuxda.com' for details on their actual base of operations.
I'm not sure if I need these guys/girls and their product. Not because they're Canadian, rather because I don't want to use a Palm clone running under linux. Me, I'd like to see a console window or X display above the CR field, not all those ugly Palm style buttons.

The scientific method does work.

That's close to a cool thousand a month north of the border. Yeeks.
And to add insult to injury, by the time you paid the fucker off they'll be selling them at Canadian Tire for 399.99. Bastards!

Shouldn't that be 11 patches per second?

This rule about having to type for at least 20 seconds is fucking stoopid.
