it's more accurate to think of the thalamus not as a gate but as a club bouncer, who doesn't simply allow a huge rush of people to go in or no one at all, but picks and chooses whom to let in and out. "
Thalamus: Whoa buddy, you can't go in. Neuron: But, I'm with her! Thalamus: Her? Yeah right! Neuron: Cortica! Cortica! Come back! We can be together!
There is only one thing I like more than desktop screenshot timelines, and that is when image links that are 320x240 pixel size take me to an image that is 400x300 pixels in size when I click on it.
Oh yeah, and where is the fucking Amiga desktop screenshot assholes?
I just found out the hard way that Xen isn't quite ready to do hardware virtualization either. It does support the VT intruction set, but it doesn't handle disk IO well at all to the point where you can get up to 50% performance loss. They say that this will be eventually fixed but that doesn't change the fact that I spent time looking for the right hardware virtualization solution and it still doesn't perform. Software paravirtualization under Xen is probably still better than VMware though.
So don't be so quite to judge VMware's claims just because they are a for profit company with an insane EULA.

Everybody's life and goals are unique. You shouldn't try to judge your progress based on what you think others are doing and have accomplished. Sometimes that can be useful. But you should just ask yourself one question. What do YOU want to do with your life and what do you think you need to do to accomplish that.
Some people "start" their life at 15 and burn out when they are 30, some start at 30 and continue on until they die. Everyone is different.
Of course there would be some people who would end up having grossly more experience points than they really should have. You know who I'm talking about.
There are plenty of things in this world that don't make any sense. Especially things people say. Honestly, I've heard people say it both ways.
If all of you want to get stupidly technical about all this, then try this on. To say that necessity is the mother of all invention implies that necessity is an invetion, since its other invention's mother and all. Unless of course necessity copulated with another species of concept in order to create an new hybrid species to create a new one which we now call invention.
Sound insane? I must be to keep posting my thoughts to slashdot.
Long filenames aren't all they are cracked up to be. I got made fun of once for using one. I can remember it so clearly now, we were in music theory class in high school and we had to use Finale on a Mac (OS 7 at the time) for our composition projects. I named one of my projects something like "Suso's Music Theory assignment number 4 for Mr. Becker 1993-9-24.mus" and saved it. A week later I was on the same Mac and noticed a file that wasn't mine called "Making fun of people who use really long filenames for their music theory assignments.mus". Nobody was admit to doing it but I knew who it was. I was devastated and never felt comfortable again in that class.
Now I'm scarred for life. I should have listened to my parents and gone with 8.3.
How did this even make it onto slashdot? A quick search for commons things like Linux, Windows, Netscape, Gimp, Photoshop, Vmware, Inkscape all returned nothing. Yeah, good start indeed.

Put this in your .Xmodmap
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
keycode 66 = Escape
I find that the Capslock key makes a nice Escape key so I don't have to reach up high for it.

So then use Klingon pain sticks or something. Sci-Fi doesn't have to be with a gun. Or limit the range of the gun.

I wasn't quoting your mother. I wasn't quoting anyone. I was just SAYING IT ON MY OWN.
but why not have a mode for those who want instant gratification by using "expected" conventions
Maybe its because those that want instant gratification only end up making shiny metal spheres on checkerboard planes.
Or a spell checker. s/neccesity/necessity/
I just wanted to beat the Accuracy Nazis to it.
See, the best invention really is neccesity. They should try to make a movie every year or two.
MacOS was limited to 31 character names, so you're misremembering things.
I have a bumper sticker on my car that says:
"I waste my jokes on the accuracy nazis on slashdot."

How long until the Amish get a website? Oh wait.
I wonder how many signups they got for getting plugged on Slashdot.
1. Make nice looking control panel with some ajax and webby 2.0 stuff
2. Post article with said buzzwords to slashdot
3. ??
4. Profit

Useful Perl Scripts That Solve Difficult Problems.
Heh, Steve Oualline. In his book on Vim, he had this example of code where the program comment went something like this:
Program -- Solve it -- Solves the worlds problems.
All of them. At once.
This will be a great program when I finish it.
*/
They even claim that such an effect could be beneficial to some conditions.
Counterpoint, so does that mean that in other conditions it is harmful. Like causing you to drive like a moron.
Looks like you'll need a frontal labodomy to just get inside.
