I heard some sad news on PBS this morning. Jennicam was found dead at her website today. There were no more details at this time. Wether or not you visited the site, you have to admit she was influencal. Truly an American icon.
Ze most annoying thing I hate about Mozilla (and other programs, too) is stealing the focus of the keyboard. If I open one tab and type slashdot.org and then open another and begin typing, the moment the slashdot tab finishes loading the keyboard focus will go to that page, and the characters will be lost.
This is very noticable when you're typing a password into a page that has not finished loading, and then it finishes loading and the keyboard focus goes to the username box, and the last few characters in your password are added to the username.....
The first digital cameras for the consumer-level market that worked with a home computer via a serial cable were the Apple QuickTake 100 camera (February 17 , 1994), the Kodak DC40 camera (March 28, 1995), the Casio QV-11 (with LCD monitor, late 1995), and Sony's Cyber-Shot Digital Still Camera (1996).
As I posted below, there is one way I know of to make a recycle bin be system wide......
[drum roll, please]
LVM!
It will keep a frozen in time snapshot of the drive at a given time until it runs out of COW space (copy on write). The space dedicated to snapshots are not seen by the filesystem, and when the filesystem is changed after a snapshot LVM copies the modified data away to the snapshot dedicated area. (I guess you could call the snapshot reserve a "Secret Cow Level".:)
You can run multiple snapshots at the same time and get something that is almost a file rollback system.
But as we all know, nothing is a substitute for real offsite backup. As they say, if it isn't backed up, it doesn't really exist.
But it can be helpful in the future to dedicate, say 10% of your drive to an LVM snapshot space....
I haven't done this yet (I'm lucky! I have a real tape drive to backup my stuff.....) but I plan to make my system take a snapshot every hour and every day (total of two) so that at most I lose an hour's worth of work.
Also, I've always wondered if it was possible to make an operating system that would take as long to destroy something as it did to create it. For example, your term paper took ten days to write, so the rm termpaper.tex command would take ten days to run:)
Yeah, but it's like the Mob requesting that you pay your debts.... If the vendor doesn't stop using the master/slave terminology, then they'll use a different vender.
I'd not be suprized if this eventually killed the terms even on pricewatch......

Haven't you heard the expose of dungeons and dragons? See here.
It says that DnD is the Occult! [/sarcasm]

And the knife.
Action Quake 2 is the best. game. evah.
I though the Gentoo Zealot response would be:
:D
"Ah, but Gentoo's root exploit was compiled from source, so Gentoo got rooted 0.000000124% faster than Debian!"
Ah well, I like Gentoo myself. It is quite fun.

Bleh. I pay the money maybe to fix these.
It is pretty hard to run an Amtrak into a skyscraper. The best you can do is run it into the station.
And that won't even work very well for straight through stations.
The best a terrorist can do is get a freight train loaded with "bad" chemicals and derail it in the middle of New York or some such.
That's OK. The third one was the best for just playing for days on end.......
The 200LX is the best product HP ever made.
See Palmtop.net for more info. I still use mine after 5 years....
Huh. And here I read it as [TEH STOP], some 1337sp34k.....
You want her to get this job, right? :)
And how the *heck* did you get 20 years of digital photos? I assume some were scanned......
From History:
I'm going to explode, but yes, there is a kernel patch that has something similar to the recycle bin functionality: LVM.
Google the LVM snapshots, and if the frequency is high enough, you'll only lose a little time's worth of ze data.

Heh. That page sounds like a bad email virus... read it!

Refer to the attached file
Whohoo! Now my installation problem is enhanced!

John86,
As a little hint, you may want to NOT assume superiority when lecturing someone with a THREE DIGIT UUID!
That is all.
Wow! A first post, and on topic! Can we get a close up of the Carmack model?
I wonder what he'll wear for Doom 3?
Actually, if you're Linus Frickin' Torvalds, you ARE the support... :D

Are you sure?
Because we don't use:
him's
her's
etc....
But how many people actually use Gentoo, apart from the Gentoo trolls on Slashdot who will throw in a Gentoo reference at the drop of a hat?
Ah, but us High Class Gentoo Trolls only throw in a Gentoo reference at the drop of a Red Hat!
*baddum-ching!*
Torrent for you, futhamucka!
Samba 3.0 has been in production use by some brave people for over half a year.
The 3.0.0 release was very good; the only major annoyance/bug is one dealing with Microsoft Office renaming files.
See this post for some detail.
There is a patch available that fixes that issue.
I'm running 3.0 and it works fine (but not so sure about 3.0.1pre2....)
