Same user, every week at 3 AM (11 PM their time). One week, wrong app was in forground on a station they didn't even need at the time (probably noticed while turning off the monitor for night). I did fix it though, takes less effort to fix than to explain how non-critical it was.
And I didn't get paid for pages either, would get 3 every time 2 nights a week, latest often at 5 AM.
I had to do this with netscape pr3, installed it last night. Installed M17 via an RPM I found on Nautilus site that went OK, permissions on/usr/lib/mozilla are 755.
I too hate having to type cd "Documents and Settings"/Administrator/"My Documents" (mounted NTFS volume under linux, that's why correct slashes), and also hate drive letters! Once I found NT5 almost understood mount points, I mounted another drive as "Documents and Settings", and set up a/mnt tree for floppy, zip, CD-ROMs, everything except network volumes (still need a letter!?!?). Why doesn't it just do this out of the box?
M$ free since 5-25-00, but "Douments and Settings" will haunt me until I cp -r/mnt/nt/"Documents and Settings"/* ~/
They did. Their trackballs use infrared transmitters and receivers to follow the motion of those little black dots on the ball, no rollers. It's a shame all the shapes are so wacky, wish they made a model that looked like Kensington's Expert Mouse.
For details, I get better help from deja news, how-to pages (HTML or ASCII, pdfs only make things worse) or man pages than from a 1k + page book. But a map of what has to be done to complete an install is necessary. I just tried to go through my first Solaris install blind. No idea about when I have to tell it what kind of hardware I have, no clue when partitioning will take place. That was scary!
I agree with the above post, that is an ethical use for the software, trading songs that are either rare or not commercially available at all. Dream Theater is another band that has many gems available through Napster, that would otherwise be impossible to find.
And who would use it to download entire albums anyway? I'd rather buy a CD for $15 than spend all day downloading it, I imagine that's how people like Redhat make money too. I'm not patient enough to download an entire CD-ROM of data, I'd rather spend $30 and get it with documentation.

I agree. I was a musician before I was a "computer guy," and learned alot about computers by playing with MIDI interfaces, sequencers and stuff. I actually bought my first PC because I needed something more powerfull than a stand alone sequencer to compose with. Then of course I needed more RAM, SCSI interface, Internet access so I can get program updates/help, real OS so this all works well togeather...
That's what I was hoping, or anything that was different would be taken care of in hardware, so Linux can just think it's always connected and treat it like a normal network connection. Here's a question...if you don't have a static IP, can Linux figure out what the default gateway should be (ppp connections can make themselves the default gateway when brought up)?
It's too easy to set up a ppp connection with a modem in RH > 6.0, how is support for DSL/cable? I hear you need a different daemon for it to work right? Windows users have to install software to use their new connections (I think one such program is called Winpoet), is anything like this included/necessary, or are we to find adapters that emulate standard modems?
That's funny, I too was a projectionist when EP1 came out. We were expecting it to be disguised, and even heard a rumor that is was to be dropped off at 5 AM the day it was starting, 5.5 hours before the first show. Instead, it was clearly labeled, and left outside the front door, discovered later as $ASSISTANT_MGR moved it to clear the doorway! 3 prints, total of 6 Fox boxes, we wondered if they even stopped the truck to drop them off.
You're right! I just got one a few weeks ago, they are $75 and sold as the "Enhanced Keyboard," or KB-454. That and a Kensington Epert Mouse trackball make for the perfect interface. As far as technique goes, I type with the keyboard at the very edge of my desk, no wristrest, like playing a piano. That seems to help.

Wasn't 6.0 2.2.5?

I say they deserve it. Maybe AOL 5 will teach them a lesson about proprietary/integrated software.
Ah, 20 min till midnight, with RH6.1 in hand, just waiting for this NT machine to pull any funny stuff.
