"the book covers PHP5, but since PHP5 is still changing the book leaves a lot to be desired.

wow, I think that's just too thin. I love my g3 12" ibook, and I think it's just the right size for everyday use. I know some execs will buy these sony's, but I suspect it'll end up on IT's desk more often than not. we had an issue at an old job of ours, the 'hot-headed' CEO would "drop" his tiny laptop (across the room) and it would break. again, it was sent in for repair more than it was used.
With all these electronics, how many false positives like this are we going to have to go through? Really, it's something to think about with all of these flights being cancelled.
There are other religions that are much more open towards other forms of intelligent life (eg Buddhism).
Yes, good point. I was mainly refering to the 'main one' that always tries to dictate to everyone else that there way is the right way. I'm much more in tuned to the ideals in 2001, A Childshood End or even Rendevous with Rama. The idea that at some point some 'higher power' could make contact with us is very cool to me.
Interesting timing considering the Mars exposition that will be going on for 3 months. I can't wait for the day that we discover that we're truely not alone in the universe. The shockwaves that it would send through religion would be huge; would we as humans finally band together as a planet, or continue our destructive separtist ways? Something to think about.
Oh, and is the universe finite, or infinite? That is always a fun mental exercise for me to ponder.
agreed, saying that Linux is hard to install is just attempts at keeping old issues alive. install SuSE or Mandrake, then try XP - I think you'll be surprised.
Oh, and I use Gentoo on my workstation and servers, it's the bomb in every way! (call me a fanboy, show your ignorance)
Prince of Persia boasts some time shifting option too, but yeah, you should prob rent it. I hear ya on the scoring, I'm more into getting though levels that setting a top score. you'll recall Super Mairo had scoring, but I don't remember even looking at it.
but what you're talking about is where i am with Burnout2 - I've read great reviews, but really want to try it first. I'm still searching for a game with driving/arcadey fun of Driver for PS1. I'm hoping this is it, but as you point out, you can't *really* trust reviews; the game just might not have the feel you're looking for. case in point, I bought the Italian Job last year due to a cheap price, AND a great review promising Driver like gameplay; wrong! the controls on the car were horrible, I think I played it 3 times.
but I actually played Viewtiful at a display in a store, so I knew I would like it.
one game I didn't play first that I like is Mario Kart. bought for me as a gift, it's turning out to be a great game for the family; wife and daughter; for me to play along with/coach. I appreciate all of the mario chars and all of the powerups that have been with the series forever.
Seriously, in Jan 2000 I was sicker than I've been in a long time, flu type symtoms, but I slept pretty much full time. After a week and a half of that I releazed that I didn't need coffee anymore. At the time I was drinking it all day too, and wanted to cut back to two cups only in the morning, but I had no idea how to. So, get sick, or take a long vacation where you can sleep in allot.
Sorry for my bullshit, can I ask, have you actually played this game? I can accept that not everyone thinks this is the best game of the year, but I certainly do; it's a blast to play. Also, the games it reminds me of are Double Dragon and Mega Man.
Flanders: "Well, I guess this is a case where we'll have to agree to disagree." Principal Skinner: "I don't agree to that." Ms. Krabappel: "Neither do I." Ned: Ho, ho, this is a dilly of a pickle. Man: Oh my God...the PTA has disbanded! (jumps out a window) Ned: No, no! The PTA has not disbanded. (the man reverses his path through the window and sits down)
incorrect, he stated that he wanted to build it himself, and then do troubleshooting via SSH whenever it was needed. If you follow a simple HOWTO on how to make a Linux or FreeBSD accesspoint, you can make it work. Once it's working, it'll "just work" from then on. If you don't have faith in a solution like that, then go another route, but I've been running a similar setup at home for 1 1/2 now, with no downtime -OR- administration needed. I'd like to see a MS solution that could do that...
Get a WiFi card (I got a Netgear MA311 refurb from Fry's for 30$), an old PC, configure it running FreeBSD to serve as an access point for your wireless network. Here's a great HOWTO:
Viewtiful Joe for the Nintendo Gamecube. it may be the best game I've played since something like Super Mario World. It's just a perfect gamer's game, with so much attention to detail, and it's now the new benchmark that I judge games against.
We used to play the orig GTA on a LAN at an old gig of mine...can this GTA run under Wine? If it does, I'm gonna try it, that was a fun game, more fun than the later GTAs IMO.
URGENT ASSISTANCE - FROM USA IMMEDIATE ATTENTION NEEDED: HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL FROM: GEORGE WALKER BUSH 202.456.1414 / 202.456.1111 FAX: 202.456.2461
DEAR SIR / MADAM,
I AM GEORGE WALKER BUSH, SON OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH, AND CURRENTLY SERVING AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THIS LETTER MIGHT SURPRISE YOU BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT MET NEITHER IN PERSON NOR BY CORRESPONDENCE. I CAME TO KNOW OF YOU IN MY SEARCH FOR A RELIABLE AND REPUTABLE PERSON TO HANDLE A VERY CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS TRANSACTION, WHICH INVOLVES THE TRANSFER OF A HUGE SUM OF MONEY TO AN ACCOUNT REQUIRING MAXIMUM CONFIDENCE.
I AM WRITING YOU IN ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE PRIMARILY TO SEEK YOUR ASSISTANCE IN ACQUIRING OIL FUNDS THAT ARE PRESENTLY TRAPPED IN THE REPUBLIC OF IRAQ. MY PARTNERS AND I SOLICIT YOUR ASSISTANCE IN COMPLETING A TRANSACTION BEGUN BY MY FATHER, WHO HAS LONG BEEN ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN THE EXTRACTION OF PETROLEUM IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,AND BRAVELY SERVED HIS COUNTRY AS DIRECTOR OF THE UNITED STATES CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY.IN THE DECADE OF THE NINETEEN-EIGHTIES, MY FATHER, THEN VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, SOUGHT TO WORK WITH THE GOOD OFFICES OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF IRAQ TO REGAIN LOST OIL REVENUE SOURCES IN THE NEIGHBORING ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN. THIS UNSUCCESSFUL VENTURE WAS SOON FOLLOWED BY A FALLING-OUT WITH HIS IRAQI PARTNER, WHO SOUGHT TO ACQUIRE ADDITIONAL OIL REVENUE SOURCES IN THE NEIGHBORING EMIRATE OF KUWAIT, A WHOLLY-OWNED U.S.-BRITISH SUBSIDIARY.
MY FATHER RE-SECURED THE PETROLEUM ASSETS OF KUWAIT IN 1991 AT A COST OF SIXTY-ONE BILLION U.S. DOLLARS ($61,000,000,000). OUT OF THAT COST,THIRTY-SIX BILLION DOLLARS ($36,000,000,000) WERE SUPPLIED BY HIS PARTNERS IN THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA AND OTHER PERSIAN GULF MONARCHIES, AND SIXTEEN BILLION DOLLARS ($16,000,000,000) BY GERMAN AND JAPANESE PARTNERS. BUT MY FATHER'S FORMER IRAQI BUSINESS PARTNER REMAINED IN CONTROL OF THE REPUBLIC OF IRAQ AND ITS PETROLEUM RESERVES.
MY FAMILY IS CALLING FOR YOUR URGENT ASSISTANCE IN FUNDING THE REMOVAL OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF IRAQ AND ACQUIRING THE PETROLEUM ASSETS OF HIS COUNTRY, AS COMPENSATION FOR THE COSTS OF REMOVING HIM FROM POWER. UNFORTUNATELY, OUR PARTNERS FROM 1991 ARE NOT WILLING TO SHOULDER THE BURDEN OF THIS NEW VENTURE, WHICH IN ITS UPCOMING PHASE MAY COST THE SUM OF 100 BILLION TO 200 BILLION DOLLARS ($100,000,000,000 -$200,000,000,000), BOTH IN THE INITIAL ACQUISITION AND IN LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT. WITHOUT THE FUNDS FROM OUR 1991 PARTNERS, WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ACQUIRE THE OIL REVENUE TRAPPED WITHIN IRAQ. THAT IS WHY MY FAMILY AND OUR COLLEAGUES ARE URGENTLY SEEKING YOUR GRACIOUS ASSISTANCE. OUR DISTINGUISHED COLLEAGUES IN THIS BUSINESS TRANSACTION INCLUDE THE SITTING VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, RICHARD CHENEY,WHO IS AN ORIGINAL PARTNER IN THE IRAQ VENTURE AND FORMER HEAD OF THE HALLIBURTON OIL COMPANY, AND CONDOLEEZA RICE, WHOSE PROFESSIONAL DEDICATION TO THE VENTURE WAS DEMONSTRATED IN THE NAMING OF A CHEVRON OIL TANKER AFTER HER. I WOULD BESEECH YOU TO TRANSFER A SUM EQUALING TEN TO TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT (10-25 %) OF YOUR YEARLY INCOME TO OUR ACCOUNT TO AID IN THIS IMPORTANT VENTURE. THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL FUNCTION AS OUR TRUSTED INTERMEDIARY. I PROPOSE THAT YOU MAKE THIS TRANSFER BEFORE THE FIFTEENTH (15TH) OF THE MONTH OF APRIL. I KNOW THAT A TRANSACTION OF THIS MAGNITUDE WOULD MAKE ANYONE APPREHENSIVE AND WORRIED. BUT I AM ASSURING YOU THAT ALL WILL BE WELL AT THE END OF THE DAY. A BOLD STEP TAKEN SHALL NOT BE REGRETTED, I ASSURE YOU. PLEASE DO BE INFORMED THAT THIS BUSINESS TRANSACTION IS 100% LEGAL. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO CO-OPERATE IN THIS TRANSACTION,PLEASE CONTACT OUR INTERMEDIARY REPRESENTATIVES TO FURTHER DISCUSS THE MATTER. I PRAY THAT YOU UNDERSTAND OUR PLIGHT. MY FAMILY AND OUR COLLEAGUES WILL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL.
PLEASE REPLY IN STRICT CONFIDENCE TO THE CONTACT NUMBERS BELOW.
It's scary how many NT 4 boxes I come across in the work world. they just don't want to update, and the diff between using that and the newer offerings is huge, although so is the price.
really, before they won for the 'invention' of an online music store (like they had the first one?) and now it's the best 'product'? Don't get me wrong, I have two macs at home (one running Gentoo Linux) and I think iTMS is a "good thing (c)" but come on, how is it a 'product'?
Now the G5 winning for being one of the 25 Best Products of the Year for Design, that goes without saying; that thing is perfect. I got to play with one a few weeks back, opened it up and got to gaze inside. One of those running Gentoo would fit perfectly under this desk!
I've been using IBM's Eclipse IDE, and have been really happy with it. My requirements are more towards the CVS side with some coding as second, but it seems like a very polished tool that I much prefer over Ajunta.
Exactly, I run Evo with IMAP and can get my email fine, but I'm always late to meetings here at work. Of course then I just blame it on the fact that I don't have access to my Calendar via Linux! I'm going to try to get a 30-day test, if it works as I think it will, I'll just buy it myself.
Is there ANY way to try out the Ximian Connector before buying it? I can't convince my company to buy it for me, even though I'm on a Linux workstation running all of the *nix boxes in house. (I run rdesktop to connect to a win box to check my email via Outlook - which is a waste). I want to try it, and would gladly buy it myself if I thought it worked fine. Or, can anyone testify to it's usefulness? Evoltion has come such a long way in the past year, I really want to start using that fulltime.
