Personally, most classical music annoys me. There are a few exceptions. When I'm really working, I wear headphones and listen to loud music. It drowns out the external annoyances. One really good one is Frank Zappa's Shut Up And Play Your Guitar; a 3 cd set of mostly guitar jams, with no annoying lyrics. I'm not a fan of most of his stuff, but this one is good.
Actually, it says above... 5% of all windows installations... Not 5% of all apps. Your crashing app shouldn't crash your OS. That's a crappy OS for you
It was when I was a Win95 support person for the evil empire that I was turned on to Slackare. This was back in... oh, 96 or so. My cube-mate turned me onto it. That was my first Linux distribution. I've since tried a few others, but always end up going back to Slack, and now enjoy 9.0.
Viva Slackware! Thanks also to my cube-mate, Pete.
I don't know if these still exist, but when I was a youth, they had these tooth guard things to put in your mouth when doing sports. First you boil some water, then drop this thing into it. When it's hold and melty, you put it in your mouth and bite down. It forms to your teeth and stays that way when it cools. This would save you the postage and time of mailing such a thing out.
As much as I would enjoy not building MS-centric apps, tools, etc, it pays a lot more than building free stuff. Building only free stuff would be okay if you're independently wealthy and have no life.
Here's an analogy. Say you live on an island of vegetarians. You do happen to have your own land, and decide to raise pigs. That's fine and dandy, until you need to sell your pigs to pay the bills.
Redundant, perhaps, but hey, I get tired of this you-suck-if-you-support-MS ranting. Really, we all do what it takes to pay the bills. Maybe rather than sitting around ranting anti-MS, people could try doing something like making actually useful, easy-to-use-and-configure-for-the-bonehead-masses stuff.
Anyone know if this would work for the Jukebox 2? I've got the 10gb, and wouldn't mind more space. I don't think there are any major differences between the Jukebox 2 and 3.
It would be very nice to see if the local video place had Battlefield Earth or whatever available on DVD or VHS from your car. So, if whatever you want isn't there, you don't have to park, walk in, search for it, and walk out again.
Yeah, I agree that many of us geeks are mean - see my post below....
However, once Tom and Harry go off to smoke a bowl, and this guy tries actually doing something, like yanking photos off his digital camera, it's not going to be such a pretty picture.
Reading these posts, he's been defined as a rube, kiwi, and assknob (mine), and probably other things. Now, a poor slob! Heh, serves him right, bastard!
On a happier note though; though this article is pure fluff, like they say, there's no such thing as bad press.
Heh, wait till he tries something really off the wall. After Dick and Harry (or whatever the hell their names were) go home, and this assknob tries hooking up his digital camera or otherwise tries to actually use it. Heh, that'll be fun!
Actually, I believe the email they send contains a link which you much click to activate it. You could still automate it, but it would be a little harder than an auto-reply.

This would be for these types of stories that get the paranoid wackos to remind us of how our rights are gone, the government is after us, etc.
Or at least store these on tfh.slashdot.org
Duh... here's the url http://www.mzla.com/bible
Who wants to look at the tired old Bible that's been the tool of suppression and torture for hundreds of years? Not me!
That's why I created The Bible Re-Write Project. Drop by and change your favorite (or least favorite!) verse. It's free and fun!
I've never been there, but there you go.
There's also a dinosaur museum there.
Also, Drummheller, Alberta has a big dinosaur museum, which I have been to and enjoyed. They find a lot of dinosaurs out there.
How do you save to a local drive/directory from an rdesktop session?
Really, what's up with that? I think XP Home is made for people for whom this would be a total non-issue.
Who'll be the Dale Earnhardt of this silly thing?
I vote for the inventor of ping, who died recently (last few years some time)

If you're using KDE, Konqueror works fine for this, assuming you've got the "other system" mounted correctly. Same with Windows/Windows Explorer.

Don't worry, Chester, your tin-foil hat will protect you.
Really, if the government wanted to get you, they could, EVEN WITHOUT knowing your phone number and email address.
That's pretty smart, getting free advertising to a nice target demographic.
