...what I'm saying is that software that does provide a well-designed, intuitive interface tends to be closed and commercial.
Sound familiar? It's the same argument against any kind of Open Source, only this time it's UI design that's somehow impossible to do without a big corporation (or "cathedral" if you will). Someone better tell the KDE people.
I don't think that ESR ever said UI design was really easy to do or a last-minute add-on, just that it needs to be done, not overlooked.
But I'm getting ahead of myself, because I haven't described what a functional language is, or why it is useful. These are the topics of the first part of the book...
You know, your computer is
not a typewriter, so you really could have
rewritten that part of your review...
Before everyone gets confused, India has a parliamentary system of government so the President is not the head of the government. There are more details from the WikiPedia entry on India.
That is not to say Kalam isn't important, just that he mostly just gives speeches, not makes decisions.
Studying these books will prepare you for the CCNA in the same way that reading the Encyclopedia Britannica from A to Z will prepare you to identify the capital of Nairobi.
Ahem. Nairobi is the capital of Kenya.
Perhaps the poster should read his Encyclopedia
Britannica.
Historical photographic archives have
policies on this. For example, see this
Terms of Use page from
Seattle's Museum of History and Industry. Bascially,
if you just want to look at it, that's fair use. If you want print(s), you pay for their time and money in making said print(s). If you want to put it in Time magazine, you'll pay the owner for the rights. Often if you're a charitable or educational organization deals can be arranged.
Keep in mind that it's not just a bunch of pictures.
Look at the Meta-Data in these things.
Making copies of the whole archive would be difficult and probably not worthwhile unless you were wanting to provide, for example, an Austrailian mirror. The digital images would be stored in a database, not just in a filesystem somewhere. You really need to be using the same software they are.
Citations are by some identifier, usually a negative number or reference ID.
Google has never been about getting the "best results"--you can already get much better results for your topic by using a specialized search engine (i.e., IMDB for movies, Lexis-Nexis for newspapers, etc.).
Google is about having good quality results with a very simple interface, one that anyone can use. Go to an academic library and look at the various journal search engines like "America: History and Life" or PychINFO, or better yet just try out
MedLine.
See anything wrong? Busy page, weird syntax, a huge instruction page about "how to search".
Engines like Vivisimo may make it if they can keep Google's simplicity and ease of use and only add value with categorizations. And personally, I think they better get out of 1996 with the frames. Yech!
Last year we announced changes that affect how we communicate with Yahoo! members about Yahoo!'s own products and services. However, we have not yet implemented those changes for all our registered members. Because of your previous account settings, Yahoo! has not yet sent you marketing communications under the new program. Before we do, we want to remind you how to set your preferences, and let you know what has changed and what is not changing.
Background Information Over the years, we've sent emails to some registered Yahoo! members about Yahoo! products and services. We've also delivered promotional messages to Yahoo! members on behalf of our marketing partners. When you first registered with us and created your Yahoo! ID, our system presented a single "Yes" or "No" option for receiving all types of marketing communications. At some point you said "No," and after that we no longer sent any of these types of messages to you.
In March 2002, we began rolling out an updated marketing communications system. Instead of just a single "Yes" or "No" choice, we created a new Marketing Preferences page where you decide:
* whether you want to hear from Yahoo! about our own products and services, and separately, whether you want to hear from Yahoo! about the offerings of our marketing partners;
* whether you want to hear from Yahoo! about certain types of Yahoo! products and services but not others (For example, you can select specific categories such as "Managing personal finances" or "Using Yahoo! for research and surfing the Web," and de-select other categories that might not be of interest to you.);
* whether you want to hear from Yahoo! (or not) by postal mail or telephone, in addition to email.
When this updated system was first announced in March 2002, we told you we'd begin sending you messages about Yahoo! products and services across all categories, even though you had said "No" to messages under the old single choice system. We also told you that you could still say "No" to these messages by visiting your Marketing Preferences. But we did not completely implement this change until now.
What's Changing on January 1, 2004 Starting January 1, 2004, Yahoo! will begin to send you messages, via email or postal mail, about our own products and services. (We will not send you postal mail if you have given us a mailing address and have opted out of contact via postal delivery.) You can control the types of messages you receive by visiting your Marketing Preferences at any time.
What's Not Changing on January 1, 2004 As in the past, you will not be sent messages on behalf of our marketing partners. We will not call you on the telephone to market products or services. If you ever change your mind about any of these choices you can let us know by visiting and updating your Marketing Preferences at any time. Every marketing email you receive from Yahoo! will continue to include instructions for how to unsubscribe from more marketing email. And, as always, you can delete your Yahoo! account altogether at any time, for any reason, by going to the deletion page.
Please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page for more information. We look forward to serving you.
This info has been around for a long time.
Red Hat Fedora Core 1 was due to be released
today, but they found an issue so it's delayed, as you can see
from the Fedora
schedule.
You can read the mailing list post about it
here.
I just moved to a new area and the "Nearby Businesses" from Yahoo! has come in very handy. I don't really pay much attention to the driving directions for inside the city, but letting me search by name or category is quite helpful. As far as I can tell MapQuest has no equivalent.
SAVE THEIR SERVERS:
Ok, I've never written a tutorial of any
kind in my life... so if this is posted anywhere, you can edit it (to a
point... keep the main writing.. but adding photo's, etc are fine by me,
just give me a lil credit) And with that said.. I'll start...
This tutorial will explain how to go about mounting your Xbox HD's
game save partition under Linux on a PC, in order to get habibi_xbox's
007:Agent Under Fire game save along with raincoat and your bios of
choice onto the Xbox's HD, eliminating the need for a Mega-X-Key!
What you'll need:
Xbox
PC running Linux (distro of choice)
Linux kernel 2.4.20 source ( http://www.kernel.org )
"Kernel" folder from xbox-linux's CVS ( http://xbox-linux.sf.net)
007: Agent Under Fire retail DVD
Soldering Iron + Solder (and torx screw drivers)
*Warning... i installed a fresh copy of Slackware Linux on an old
PC just to do this, following this tutorial can cripple your linux
system if you don't revert back to your old kernel... or compile a new
one... unless you know what your doing*
1st things 1st! Now you must open up your Xbox *which I don't think
I need to explain how to do*, take out the motherboard, and solder the
2x2 jumpers (one's on top, ones on the bottom of the mobo) pictures: http://www.xbox-scene.com/articles/tsop.php . Now put everything back together, but leave the case top off, and keep the Xbox near your pc!
Now, download the Linux 2.4.20 kernel source from http://www.kernel.org
*look in the archives!*, move the tar.gz or tar.bz2 file to/usr/src and
extract. This should leave you with a folder named "linux-2.4.20".
Next, get the "Kernel" folder from the Xbox-Linux team's CVS
*sourceforge tells you how to get on their CVS server... just user
kernel as the module name*. After doing so, move the contents of the
"kernel" folder to the "linux-2.4.20" folder.
Go into the linux-2.4.20 folder and read the README.xbox file!
Follow it's instructions to the point right before compiling the
kernel! Next, run "make xconfig" or "make menuconfig" in console while
in the folder. Configure the kernel as you normally would *I assume you
have some knowledge about Linux*, remove USB support, and turn off all
Xbox specific functions... Make sure to leave FatX support in though!
When done, run *without quotes* "make dep ; make modules ; make bzImage
; make modules ; make modules_install ; make install" This will
automatically do everything needed. Next, shutdown, and use the Xbox
HD swap trick to unlock your Xbox's HD and connect it to your PC (Turn
on your pc, wait for it to boot RIGHT BEFORE it gets to your Linux boot
loader screen press the Pause / Break button. Turn on Xbox, wait for it
to boot to the dash, unplug IDE cable from Xbox, connect an IDE cable
from your PC into the Xbox's HD and press any key. Your pc should boot
as normal, into Linux... except now it see's your Xbox's HD!
*NOW, BACK UP YOUR XBOX HD! MAKE AN IMAGE FILE OF THE HD!!! I don't
know the command do to so under linux, but I used HDD Driver under
windows to do it... but seriously, if something goes wrong here, you can
be left with a bunk HD if you don't have a backup!*
Now, make a new folder in/mnt (I used/mnt/xbox myself). Now, look
in the/dev folder, you should see "hda50 hda51 hda52 hda53, etc..."
*it may not be hda, it could be hdb, hdc, or hdd...*. After seeing what
block device it is, type this command into console" mount -t fatx/dev/hda50/mnt/xbox"... if it works, you will see
no error message. Go into the folder in which you mounted the partition
to, and guess what! You should see TDATA and UDATA folders!
"I'm sorry, there is nothing innocent about supporting a regime..."
Who voted for Hideki Tojo?
OK, No one will probably read this, but check your facts!
Japan has a parliamentary system of government--they have since the late 19th Century. Tojo was elected by his party to serve as PM, just like Tony Blair (or Winston Churchill) in the UK. Now, there was a lot of intimidation by nationalist military extremists in 1930s Japan, so it was not exactly a free Democracy, but throughout WWII Japan technically had an elected government.
I remember looking into turning an old laptop
into an LCD and I was disappointed to find that the Analog/Digital converters present in LCDs are very expensive. (That's what allows you to hook it into your VGA port.)
I don't know if this effects the big-number LCD manufacturers, but it is a good reason. There is now more support for all-digital video cards, but it would be market suicide to become known as "that LCD manufacturer whose products aren't compatible with any of our old systems".

Looks like they're not cheap--US$350-600--but they do look nice.Larry Ellison's probably got a custom one on his desk.

You know, your computer is not a typewriter, so you really could have rewritten that part of your review...
So, if you are out there writing GUI apps for Linux or BSD or whatever, here are some questions you need to be asking yourself:
I didn't know about that, I'll have to try it sometime. All I knew about is their piss-colored-water stuff.
I subscribed for a while, but the only way to get to it was by email link, no bookmarking. That annoyed me. It may have changed, I wouldn't know.

Just read a few of the newsgroup postings about that: Google Groups on Wal-Mart/NetFlix
Or maybe the porn squatters wouldn't touch it, considering that there might be a public outcry.

Thanks for your stories and comments on Slashdot. This seems like a good time to ask you a question that I think has been on everyone's mind:
If you could ask yourself anything, what would it be?
Thanks.
So to use this new super-secure Windows I'll have to type in huge lists of information that is boring to me?

Of course, this means basically every game, CD, or movie that you buy would have yet another "prominent label" on it.
