Most of my Micro$oft users have no understanding of files and folders let alone permissions. Frequently I have to 'find' a file they've misplaced by savin' to C:\.
If your users are mostly application based, then everything should be self-evident. A word processor is a word processor. Sure they're a bit different but basically they are the same.
If you're trying to teach the guts of Linux, why not use the newbie help files?
I was recently in the market to buy a personal recorder. I reviewed both replaytv and tivo. I liked TIVO a lot and it wasn't just because it got such/. attention.
I had only one concern when I was buying. which company, replaytv or tivo, had staying power. I looked at both and thought...heck, if TIVO goes down, there'll be a large underground hack community...
I, too, come from the trash 80 days, but what sony is doing doesn't compare. Sony's just releasing basic, they aren't giving the source code of their games out. Back in the trash 80 days, half the fun of playing games was playing them and then hacking them when you got stuck. I learned most of my coding by hacking other basic programs. Sony's not like the open source communite. I can't just go to a prompt and meander through their source code to get around a problem.
what will make this interesting is if a PS2 hacks/programs user group gets formed out of this BASIC release. It might get kids interested in coding. Heck I might, finally, be able to convice by wife to let me get one! I'm coding, dear, really! It was worth every penny I spent on Ebay, dear...;)
I'm just amazed that there aren't people complaining about a JonKatz article...
What going on? Are/.rs busy voting? Has voter apathy spread to JonKatz articles? Come on people...we flame him for every article. Where's the consistancy?
Where's the 'Katz sucks' or 'we got rid of the boardway play...why not Jon?'
Oh well...I guess I should go vote for Hagelin...it'll be a write in since I'm in Texas...
Have an Abysmal Election Day!
PS. I'm breaking out of my pod...I usually vote for Cthulhu...
I moved over a year ago and they never changed my billing phone number. They cut service to my new home because of nonpayment, though I was paying, six months ago. They got my service back up after a week and I forgive them for their clerical error. Mistake, 'cause it happened again just three weeks ago! I was down for a week again. Here's the process: you call to complain, they don't know what to do so they transfer you, an hour later (and many transfers) you're told that the problem will be fixed in 24hrs, and last repeat the next day. If you can get a different provider, I would.
About time he left! May Lord British rule again in another kingdom.
Ultima I-IV were my first true computer role playing experience. I wasted so many hours filling the map in Ultima III with treasure Chests!! Or how about the Armada of ships in Ultima II?? Ultima was a classic.
My only other favorite from that time period was Starflight. It had everything and IMHO it was better than Ultima on so many levels. Anyone care to port it for me?;)
That was my first and primary concern...what about Farscape? Farscape isn't in a bubble. This has to have some impact on the show. I hope it's for the best, but mergers/buyouts have a shake down effect....something is going to get knocked off... Farscape rocks. Prepare to starburst...

I have two friends (ex-co-workers) who caught their wives cheating by sniffing out their wives yahoo passwords.
What about workers reading yahoo mail from work?
I know one person got fired at my clients company for reading p0rn from a mail account at yahoo.com.
I think this great, but what do corporations feel? It sounds like more work for me with the adding insult of snooping on co-workers.
Exactly what do you want to encourage?

So I bought a TIVO just two weeks ago...

I have a suggestion for a poll. (yes, I know this isn't the correct place to submit this, but this article inspired it.)

Ok...is it just me or do the dune trailers just scream DVD?
I think I'm going to get me a TIVO just because I do not trust my VCR to tape DUNE in the quality it deserves.
Can't do it, sorry. If it wasn't for D&D and wife, I wouldn't have a life...
I can give up the wife...
Sorry...
;)
wife has been telling me that for years...she's so ashamed of Bush that she's hiding in our bed room...
She misses Ann Richards. Now there was a Texas Lady!

I doubt the Virginia State government thought the first use of UCITA was going to be against government bodies....
quite poetic don't ya think?
The problem I have with everyone getting upset over gun restrictions is I don't see the difference between explosives and guns...or for that matter the spudgun (see this /. article If we restrict spudguns and explosives, why not guns?
Oops...forget about that VCR and TIVO. No replaying of copywrited works for you (unless, of course, you pay a fee each time...)
Long live DIVX!
Oh yeah, that's been tried...
I guess I'll just have to race home after my 14 hour day to catch the last 15 minutes of my shows.
IMHO:Ars Magica is the best mage based RPG out there. You can find it at

My love for the game is based on creativity and the inventive process. This game is mage centric and it shows.
