CmdrTaco, you can't take what you dish out? I've submitted articles in the past that have been rejected and then when I write to Rob, he says that his policy is to not discuss why articles are rejected. Well, that's VERY helpful. Think about your own processes before your condemn others.

Wow, this guy is a genius for his insight. I really should read what he has to say now.
Actually, if I remember correctly, I wrote mine before he did. I wrote this in May of 2000 sometime. It might have been close to the same time. So mine is many moons old too.
Thanks. My friend and I made that about 5 years ago. I've considered making a few more simular songs. Pehraps based on floppy and CD-ROM drives ejecting or keyboards and mouse click, etc. Maybe now I will. You might check out my other songs too:
I'd like to say those to the president of the affiliate companies. I think he's become too comfortable in his position.

Its easy to see that the IMDB is one of the oldest if not the oldest internet services (I'm not talking about protocols). And it also predates the web. I was wondering if any of you could name other Internet services that predate the web and still exist today. What constitutes a service is probably difficult because things like IMDB made a move from Usenet to Web which are two very different protocols (although they used them simularly).
DISCLAIMER: Again, i'm not talking about protocols like HTTP, Usenet itself, IRC, etc.
Seriously -- whether you like Ralsky or not, the practice of sending people gobs and gobs of email without them asking for it or doing business with you in the first place is probably unethical.
For anyone who wants this fix, I made a q&d change to the folder listing code so that it truncates long folder names in the middle so that they don't run over and screw up your display. I submitted this patch to the author a month ago, but it hasn't made it into the trunk yet I guess.
Roundcube is pretty neat, but it still has some bugs. The IMAP client caches everything so that it is faster on subsequent tries, but on large mailboxes it can be a real pain the first time. It makes for a good program to hack on though. Its just what I've been looking for to replace squirrelmail on suso.org.
it can also detect planetary features like large pockets of hydrogen, methane and nitrogen gas, rings, color bands and thick soupy atmospheres.;-) Sorry, but I think we're too far away to see anything earth size for now. Maybe in 10-20 years we'll have the technology down.
about the need for software developers to be mindful of younger people, as their social attitudes towards software are going to be much more influential in than any moral or financial consideration.
Perhaps some of the younger people need to become software developers. This is not meant to be a RTFM comment, just an observation that the OSS community might need to step up its PR with the younger generation. It was nice to see many high school age kids at the BLUG meeting last night, but I think we could do more to encourage them.
does it seem ironic and sureal that Arnold Schwarzenegger would be the one to sign this. I mean I know that he's the governor of Cali and all, but its just kinda ironic given his past roles in films.
And it won't for one simple reason. Its open source and free. Time and time again people say that Linux won't be able to last another year against Windows, and time and time again Linux is still here and stronger than ever. It is for one simple reason. It will last so long as people still have an interest in it and keep developing for it. Theoretically, Linux could last forever against Microsoft because there will always be people who don't want to buy into them. And there will always be people who want software for free and be able to modify their software. We could sit at 24 million Linux users for the next century and be fine. Still using Linux? (version 8.6.12-ac3) You bet I am.

I'm sure John is a great and intelligent guy. I was just making fun of the comment that seemed so silly to say on Slashdot.

There is a fine line between Offtopic and Funny.

I thought they went to Computer Associates? [1]
Isn't that what the OS stands for?

30 gigs? suso.org has been offering no quota email since 1997.
Its not just computer jargon that is confusing
I still don't know what TPS stands for.
Actually, in this case, the 3 was supposed to mean Alan Cox III, as in his grandson. Bring on the replies about hackers producing offspring.
