I'm not sure if the redirection from google.com to google.cn is anything particularly sinister here; If I go to google.com from within India, I get automatically redirected to google.co.in. However, there's a fairly prominent link labeled "Google.com in English" that takes me back to google.com if I so choose. From here, it looks like google.cn has the same setup. Of course, I'm not within China, so I can't say for sure if it is the same for domestic Chinese users.
Er, I'm sorry, that's half the question. The other half is - Why do I need a composite manager? What does it do? Why do we need one now and we never did before?
I know what a window manager is, and I understand the idea of a resolution-independent GL display layer, but would someone mind filling me in on why we now need a composite manager as well as a window manager?
I second this. I used to use a pair as my office headphones at my last job. They fulfilled the chief objectives - good sound quality, don't leak sound to the surroundings, comfortable, and cheap enough that I can afford to leave them at the office and not worry too much if they disappear.
As the poster said, look out for the look-alikes, particularly the V600. It's not the same thing at all. It's well known among enthusiasts that most Sony mass-marketed 'phones are crap, but the V6s are an exception and are well-regarded for their price. In the past, I've picked up good deals on some (gently) used 'phones at headphone forums like Head-Fi and HeadWize. You should be able to find a used pair at around $60, a bit more for new.
A nice article, been looking for more information on this. So often you read items in program FAQs or such giving a disclaimer on how ps memory usage is misleading, but they offer no better way. Okay, so ps memory usage information is pratically useless; now what am I supposed to use?
I was hoping for a bit more, though; like, say, a small program that lets you see both the aggregate virtual memory total as well as the memory used specifically by the program. Add a few options for how to handle the only-one-app-using-a-library situation. Doesn't seem like it'd be that hard, and very useful.
To do the same with the command line OpenSSH client:
ssh -N -f -D 1080
-D 1080 does the dynamic socks forwarding. -N says don't run any command on the remote machine -f says go into the background after asking for password
Reread the OP, he's not criticizing the use of CGI special effects, he's talking about the obligatory "behind the scenes" SFX documentaries for every film.
He sort of has a point; I mean, this stuff was pretty cool when green screens and CGI was new and novel, but I think most film goers have a good grasp of how the general process works nowadays.
I'm not the above AC but I'd be interested to hear about what were some of the more major sources of HFCS besides soda and how/where you were able to find substitutes.
We have a few Trader Joe's around here, I wish they were closer but a great store overall. And yes, the prices are quite nice; in particular their cheeses are much less than the supermarket, and they've got a nice selection as well. I don't find the cereal to be cheaper, though; at least not when the supermarket brands go on sale so often. But it's a fair price.
I tried using on a company intranet site, simply for my own amusement, and gave up. While I thought it was nice to press Alt-N to view the news page, nobody else knew how to use it or cared to learn.
Did they even know they were there? I find that many sites use AccessKeys but give no indication that they do or what they are. Luckily you can use a handy bit of CSS to help out.
Using the selector before pseudo selector, you have have the accesskey shown automatically displayed before the element. For example, I have this in my Mozilla userContent.css:
The first two lines are the important part, the rest is just styling to make it look nice. Specifically, it adds a small box with the capitalized access key character before any link that uses one.
For example, when I visit Freshmeat, the menu at the top looks something like this:
It's a neat trick and can be very handy. While it's true most sites don't use accesskeys, there's more out there than you might expect, and the ones that do almost never advertise it.
There used to be a nice price compare site called Killer App that was much like you describe. It was limited to computer hardware, mostly; not sure if they actually had PDAs (though it wouldn't have been out of place). But they did let you do similar things with monitors (size, try, resolution, etc), motherboards (socket, chipset), etc. I was sad to see it go, I haven't seen quite its equal.
Hmm. I hadn't been paying attention, but boy, the numbers do go pretty high nowadays. Mine's looking pretty low in comparison now. I don't claim any special status, I've just apparently wasted more time here than most. But I have been around here long enough to remember all the old hands bemoaning the old days when I first logged in...
Is there a UID timeline somewhere? I'm not sure when it was I first registered, it would be interesting to backtrack and figure out when that was.
If you're sad you missed out on the opening dates, don't worry, there's a few more to come:
Wednesday: University of Michigan and University of Wisconsin. Thursday: University of Waterloo and Columbia University. Friday: Princeton University and Howard University.
I bet if you walk into that store tomorrow, you'll still see some eMacs. At a reduced price, as well. There were plenty of minis lying around a week after the Nanos were announced. Perhaps Apple will give you a refund of the difference between what you paid and the new clearance price.
I recognize the channels listed. Those channels are on irc.cwru.edu, composed (as you might guess) mainly of former and current Case Western Reserve University students. As the name #geeks suggests, Comp Sci and Engineering sorts, mostly. I was never much of a regular there, but I knew a decent number of the ones who did. Notacon is a fairly new but continuing annual event started by Froggy, a former Case student and now a Case employee.

Congratulations, you just pointed out what's wrong with the mainstream consumer headphone market. What about "sounds good?"

Oh. Right. That.
Hmm, I suppose I should be hating Sony for that. But I do need a new pair of V6s...
I know what a window manager is, and I understand the idea of a resolution-independent GL display layer, but would someone mind filling me in on why we now need a composite manager as well as a window manager?
PS: I bought mine before the whole $sys$ thing was made public.
Er, what do you mean by this?

Works great for Yahoo IM; haven't tested others.
Old time Doom/Quake fans might remember this entrant...
... for getting getting the invokation Godwin's Law out of the way.
Don't they realize how much they could get by reselling them back to Americans?

Most email clients will let you specify a remote folder as a destination for your sent mail. I haven't had any problem doing it in Thunderbird.

For those upgrading from a previous release, instructions can be found on the official Ubuntu wiki.
But yes, essentially "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade" is it.
If you're sad you missed out on the opening dates, don't worry, there's a few more to come:
Wednesday: University of Michigan and University of Wisconsin.
Thursday: University of Waterloo and Columbia University.

Found the dates on Kevin Schofield's blog, thanks!

Only if you're recording from an analog source. There's a good deal of music these days that is produced entirely from digital sources.
