Excuse me? It's very doable. I seem to recall having problems with it, but they probably relate mostly to my ignorance of PKI. I ended up generating a key with Linux SSH on the system I was trying to talk to, then importing that key into PuTTY.
What a lame comment. We all know about farm technology in developed countries. Nobody thinks it's remarkable that farmers in Iowa are tech-savy. But this isn't Iowa -- it's Tibet. You do know about Tibet, don't you? No, come to think of it, you probably don't.
Excuse me, but your Suburu has a 2.5 liter engine. Not exactly a representative SUV! The SUV boom is fueled (excuse the pun) by people wanting to get way from exactly this kind of car. They want power, and lots of metal.
The vehicles you mention are just the same Japanese light trucks they've been making for decades. Calling them "SUVs" is just a marketing gimmick. It doesn't change the fact that (real) SUV owners are mostly contemptuous of environmental issues. I only exclude the rural folks who actually need a big 4wd vehicle.
I don't think they ever got over Shatner telling them to Get A Life.
It wasn't Shatner, it was the writers for Saturday Night Life. Nobody seems to remember how that sketch ended -- with a suit reminding Bill of his contractual obligations, and him telling the trekkies he didn't really mean it.
Anyway, I have nothing against people who are absurdly fascinated with a subject. I just find the religious aspects of trekkie life irritating. Just as you can't criticize Dubya as a Republican fundraiser, you can't criticize St. Gene when a trekkie is present.
You're complaining about errors of continuity and consistency. SF geeks like you and me care about that, but nobody who works on an actual broadcast TV series does.
In any case, "jumping the shark" refers to the lame TV you see when they persist in writing stories for a successful but worn-out premise. I think everbody with half a brain agrees that the Star Trek franchise has been in that mode for years now. The only question is: just how many years. You could make a case that they JTSed back in the third season of TOS!
What keeps Star Trek going is all the brainless Trekkies who gleefully swallow all the crap Paramount dishes out to them. Finally beginning to die off, thank God!
I don't see where Photo.Net's problems tell us anything except that they're bad planners:
The new hardware is failing, in part, because there is too much hardware in the cabinet now. We know that one of the failures was due to the power short-circuiting. And there were thermal issues definitely indicated in one of the other failures. I think most of the failures are actually due to heat. We are trying to get another cabinet as quickly as possible, and yesterday we decided to leave the cabinet doors open to help dissipate heat.
As every Selena fan knows. And It shouldn't be news that Intel always uses geographic code names.
This is an object lesson in how urban/web legends are born. Somebody hears about the Tejas Wicca Coven, and says "Aha! That must be where the Intel code name comes from!" So they publish lists like the one this story linked to, which look authoritative, but are just so much BS.
Actually, I can't imagine any big company using a Wiccan name for anything. Not after the variousproblems Proctor and Gamele has had with "Satanism".
You may be confusing the email auto-expiration for some sort of quota.
For most of us, it comes to the same thing. You must get an unholy amount of email to have 900MBs that isn't old enough to be automatically moved out of your mailbox.
Our Courier IMAP Server which uses FAM for Enhanced IDLE Support means IDLE connections are using virtually NILL resources.
Indded. It's a pity this feature has not been widely implemented. My web presence provider forces users to keep their mailboxes small because of polling overhead. I switched to them because I wanted IMAP, but not being able to have a big mailbox kind of eliminates the advantages of IMAP.
It's interesting that the Mozilla people don't seem to see this issue. They just think of it in terms of notification:
IMAP users can now benefit from support for the IMAP IDLE command which allows the mail server to push notifications such as new mail arriving as soon as it arrives.
Having your email delayed by a brief polling interval is surely less important than eliminating polling overhead on the server. That the Mozilla folks don't grasp this suggests an unpleasant disconnect from real world problems.
Sun's real market is not the commodity-server area where Windows is popular
And that is like saying that IBM didn't need to bother with microcomputers, because their main market was the Mainframe. But microcomputers kept getting more and more powerful, until they were able to take over much of the mainframe market.
In the same way, commodity systems are being used more and more for things that you used to have to buy high-end computers for. They've already driven Sun, SGI, and HP out of the workstation market, and are now doing the same in the server market. HP and SGI have long ago seen that they have to offer Intel-based systems with Linux processors in order to survive. Sun is just now seeing that they have to do the same.
Crossover Office isn't really software -- it's a support package for Wine. Now, there's nothing wrong with CodeWeavers offering this package for people unable to face Wine unassisted. But if you have the expertise and patience, you should really try to make Photoshop work under Wine without shelling out your money. It is possible.
Christianity forsakes icons, perhaps rightly, as they distract one from one's relationship with one's God, and their spiritual emotional connection.
What a sweeping, ignorant statement. It's true that there's an anti-iconic tradition in Christianity, inherited from Judaism. But Christianity draws from other traditions as well.
There are over a billion people calling themselves Chrisitans, and they adhere to thousands of different denominations and sects. The generalizations you can make about all Christians are very few. You certainly can't claim that all, or even most, Christians revile icons. It's particularly stupid to make this statement in connection with a movie made by a guy who adheres to a form of Christianity that revels in icons, about the iconic moment in Chrisitian history.

We thought you meant Steven King!
OK, never mind the legal nonsense, just ask any teacher if they like the idea of all the cables all over the place
What is difficult? How about the cost? And how do you connect the ports to the desks? Most classrooms don't have raised floors.
You've got to be kidding. Imagine a classroom with 30 students, each with his/her own ethernet cable. Then imagine the lawsuits....
The alternative isn't wired technology. The alternative is the wireless technology that emergency people already use.

Check your links!
It's in a "real" news site, so it must be true. No, wait a minute....
Sure they'd patent it. They considered doing it 25 years ago, but an unimaginative lawyer told them that software wasn't patentable. More here.
So go out and buy a ][ or ][e. Probably cost you less than the ethernet adapter...
There's a difference between "disabled" and "impaired".
No I didn't, and I think the fewer people that do know, the better!
