As a longtime Nextel user I have also never been able to move the chip to the new phone, even on the exact same model. Apparantly it has something to do with the way the #'s are recorded in their billing system or some junk. Thankfully they have always transferred all of my data to the new phone for free.
This annoyed me to no end. The reason I was browing with tabs was so that I could have many of them open at once, which probably means I didn't want to be interrupted when that tab did not load.
My fix was to set
browser.xul.error_pages.enabled = true
in about:config
This makes the pages give simple xul error pages with no dialog box, easily been the biggest improvement that about:config has given me in Firefox.
Clicking on this bookmark will correct any screwed up Slashdot page in Firefox. Now if I could just find a firefox extention to remove the subdomains from slashdot.org automatically so I don't have to deal with any of these terrible color schemes (it.slashdot.org for example).
You do realize that part of what makes this "predicition" popular is the fact that it's the Washington Redskins (the Washington D.C. team) and it's related to their last HOME game before the election. This myth would not be nearly as popular if it were some prediction based on the St. Louis Rams last game at Green Bay or something. This is one that is relatively non-obscure, but still just coincidental of course.
Except the
Motorola logo could seemingly be confused with Macromedia or Bacardi. Maybe moreso Bacardi than Macromedia, but the stylistic shaping of the M looks very similar. This is why another critical characteristic of a logo is uniqueness
No idea. I have a Gateway Solo laptop with a PIII-450Mhz processor, 256MB RAM, 20GB hard drive, NIC, sound, video + video out, dvd-rom, cdrw (4x) and decent display (1024x768) that runs WinXP Pro, Office 2003, IE, and Select Component Architect well enough.
You do realize that desertion from the military can be punishable by death don't you? Of course this punishment hasn't been done in any sort of recent memory, but it is definitly taken seriously.
Wrong. I was personally stop-lossed from March 1st 2003 until August 1st 2003 by the United States Marine Corps and the DoD. This stop-loss applied to EVERY active duty or activated reserve member of the USMC. This kept me on active duty not only past my EAS (End of Active Service) but also past my EOS (End of Obligated Service), which was the final date on my inital contract, which the DoD seems to believe they do not need to honor on their end. It is a de-facto draft.
Did you even read your own link? Donations do Wikipedia are not tax-deductible. Wikimedia Foundation Inc is a Florida not-for-profit corporatio and may lawfully solicity donations under Florida law. BUT they are still in the process of obtaining official tax exempt status from the United States IRS, since this is not complete you may NOT deduct donations from your federally-taxable income until the IRS says that Wikimedia is tax exempt.
RTFA, there IS no inventory to sell! You cannot buy an iMac from them now until they announce the new line. This will have no affect on their "remaining inventory", since it does not exist. It is simply a mistake on Apple's part that they did not have their new line ready when the supply of their current one was exhausted. All of this is straight from that same exact article, amazing.
It's also highly regressive (i.e. taxes the poor a larger percentage of their income than the rich). A consumption-based (sales) tax would turn a family that is getting by on the poverty line (around $18,000 for a 2 person household this year) from paying $0 taxes a year to whatever arbitrary percentage was chosen. Poorer people send almost 100% of their income on consumption (food, rent, etc), while rich people spend a small porportion of their income on consumption.
Not in all cases. The best example of this is gasoline, when state/local gasoline taxes go up the stations are not able to increase their prices 100% of the tax increase, because of the locality of the product, people will just buy gas somewhere that doesn't increase 100% of the tax. This is particulary true in Washington D.C. and any population bordering another state (for state taxes). In cases where that is not true it is still influenced in the case of locality taxes, because no city exists on its own.
Typical Slashdot drone again. The.doc file format and.xls file format (the two most popular) did not change from Office 97 to Office XP (2002). Five years and three version of Office, no changes. The only reason the file format has changed in Office 2003 is to take advantage of XML. Of course, if they hadn't updated it to use XML you would be bitching about that also, saying how they don't "support new technologies" or innovate in new version. You should really try doing some research about these things before you blindly bash them. Microsoft also

Or you could just make it
a link and not have to worry about/.'s lameness filter and URL breaking space insertions. Plus the drones like
clicky stuff anyway. I never understood why it was so hard for all these people to make a link. You have time to go to the google cache for it and paste the URL, but not the extra five seconds of making a link? You spent more time putting "copy and paste, remove the space" instructions on your post than it would have taken you to just make the link. If you're going to be a karma whore at least make it easier on the readers.
Did you bother even reading ANY of the
patent application or did you just spout of typical/. drone rhetoric? They specifically mention prior art in several places, and they even include examples of it in the drawings. Give me a break, there is even an entire section of the patent application dedicated to references.
[0013] FIG. 1A is a pictorial diagram illustrating a desktop of a graphical user interface according to the prior art.
[0014] FIG. 1B is a pictorial diagram illustrating one implementation of a panel containing a desk guide used to switch among multiple virtual desktops according to the prior art.
[0015] FIG. 1C is a pictorial diagram illustrating another implementation of a panel containing a desk guide used to switch among multiple virtual desktops according to the prior art.
As at least one comment in every other thread of this story has mentioned: Microsoft included MSAV (MicroSoft Anti-Virus) with DOS-6. This is is not new to them, they are simply bring the idea back. Your comment is entirely incorrect. Quit trolling against Microsoft I guess these days, its pretty common knowledge. Also, you meant to use the word "it's", the contract of "it is", not "its", the possesive form of "it".
Hey now, don't go pinning this on me, I can't even stay awake until after dark. Also, it was only $613,000 worth of stuff from HSN, don't be rounding up, but those commerative plates were for you, I can't believe you didn't appreciate them!
I think you picked a bad example with
Super Mario Brothers 3 since Nintendo has ported it to GameBoy Advance and re-released it as Super Mario Brothers 3: Super Mario Advance 4, and it's been a huge hit.
No, here in real life (not/.) he would simply drop the title if making a run for office, which is exactly what Rudy Guilliani's staff said he would do were he to ever run for federal office.
This is great, the 800x600 resolution restriction of the original Baldur's Gate and Tales of the Sword Coast is part of what can make is seem so much older than Baldur's Gate 2. The additional auto-pause options are also welcome, no more pounding on the space bar! Glad to see "new classics" like Baldur's Gate are still being supposed through 3rd-party mod's like this one.

Unless of course you're running Terminal Services, in which case the upgraded IE would be greatly appreciated.

It's a bug in Slashdot that has been there since June. Uncheck "collapse sections" and then the section exclusions will work.

Maybe you should try enabling that option in Konqueror, that way you can finally make sure your spelling is correct.

If you had bothered to read the article you would have seen that the ads are 300k, not 5MB by any means. Nice troll.
