that's one way to keep your favorite show on the air. I mean no commercials, what did that Turner exec say that was without suffering through commercials, I think she called it piracy. I mean that kind of attitude, combined with the aol keyword 'Piracy' will bring forth the MPAA to lay the smack down on your candy ass.
You can do the same with just about any other browser on Mac OS X. With the speech module you can connect a voice command to any keyboard sequence. I have it set up to switch tabs, create tabs, and with the 'Make this page speakable' voice command, you can navigate to any page, making it work like a bookmark system.
What would be nice is if 'Speech' could recognize the commands for a particular application without switching focus. So I could be coding on one screen while browsing on another.
I agree that Java could be considered DOA on the browser because no one wants to deal with AWT classes.
However checkout Thinlets , if this ever got widespread adoption I think we would start seeing more and more applets popping up. Being able to define interfaces with using xml allows people to just rip through and create interfaces likity-split, and the speed amazing.
I guess the need for applets isn't as important anymore for rich-client applications due to the ease and success of Java Web Start.
I know this is probably wrong but the Silmarillon is very much like reading The Bible.
From what I have read Tolkien was a very spirtual man that wrote his own creation story, even though its closer supposedly to Norse mythology, I find many similarities to reading the bible, chronicaling the events of the Children of the Illuvatar, much like how the Bible tells the story of God's children.
Also each story gets more detailed as time progresses, very much like the Bible as well.
I find it fascinating literature, and exhibits the imagination of Tolkien more so than either the Hobbit or LOTR. After all I think he thought it was his most important work.
The Hobbit, I think he should look at the tale of Beren and Luthien (one of the more independent chapters from The Silmarillion, and not as complex as the rest of the book).
This would be tough for a couple reasons, there just isn't enough detail about stories like that to do a movie. You would have to make up quite a bit of dialogue in order to make the story flow. I don't see a problem with that, however the people that complained that Arwen said more than her 1 or two lines that she actually had in the book would probably have a tissy fit. I wouldn't mind seeing the story of Beren and Luthien reminds me of the Clash of the Titans...
Are the recruiting firms friend. Job postings have been flooded by recruiting firms, often times for the same job.
I hate recruiters, unless they work for the company themselves. They are not your friend or ally. I could go on about my fuming working both sides of the ball with them, hiring from a recruiting firm and trying to get placed as well.
All the job posting boards should make it a policy that they can only work with end users, Employers and Employees. That way they could still be effective and improve the quality of the postings on both sides of the ball.
I would encourage students to look through the source code. To grasp and understand what goes on behind the scenes for a windowing system, before the project gets enormous. Besides the tar file is pretty small, maybe you can contribute while the project is in it's infancy and not intimidating.
...that this guy has his own commentary. He must love to hear himself speak.
How cocky are you feeling now, Mac elite? Hmm. Suddenly it's gotten pretty quiet around here.
I don't know but the fix should be up anytime. (This can be applied to most holes). I guess misery loves company eh Windows Users.
I think the nice thing about Open Source, is that most developers are probably ego maniacs. (Hear me out) When you build something and it's yours and someone tells you it has a flaw... Well you are going to fix it / patch it throw it out and scream. Version x.x.x is out, check the changes to find out what flaw! In addition to that if the original developer doesn't fix it, chances are someone that needs it fixed, will fix it and throw up there version. Thus speeding up the process of the patching. That's why there is a patch every other week for Mac OS X. People are getting stuff done.
Of course you guys already knew that. Also quick work around for this bug until there is a patch. Don't let unauthenticated access to your wireless network, unless you want me piggy backing of your internet connection:).
When was the last time a SCO product was purchased? Or do they plan on reporting a major loss this year (legal expenses) and hope to make a profit next year?

The so-called "clamshell" design means that the PDA opens like a tiny laptop. If cigarettes weren't so unfashionable, I'd prefer to call this a "cigarette case" design, in the style of the multi-functional gadgets used by James Bond. I showed the C750 to a number of people, geek and non-geek, and everybody liked it. It was unusally [for a computer] popular with the ladies.
Finally Sony has developed a chick magnet for geeks.
It's still very much a statistical game even without 'reading people'.
Why you always throw away a 2 and a 7, pre-flop.
You need to know probabilities of cards coming out, that's why we you play with people that are 'Rocks' only bet when they have the semi-best possible hand you need to know.
The reading part of poker helps when you know you have the best hand possible, and you 'check and raise...'
Mac OS X runs infinitely faster on the G5 than the Dell Intel XEON. Focus on that.
The G5 blows the G4 outta the water, so I really don't care how it performs to the Intel XEON.
Processor speeds aren't going to make people 'switch'. It's the User Experience / WTF can I do with this computer now? (Meaning does it run the apps I need it to run?)
I think it was Panther that stole the show for Apple, not the G5. That is an awesome OS, just the fast user switching alone sells it for me.
In statistics that's a lot, however for something like baseball, I'd say that the umpires did a pretty decent job. If a pitcher pitches a 100 pitches they might miss one strike? Not bad at all.
Besides if they replaced the umpires with cameras, you couldn't yell "What's a matter with the umpire? HE'S A BUM!"
Your right but GnuCash is pretty darn close... It now supports OFX imports, and the great thing about GnuCash... You don't have to pay for upgrades, as soon as there is an open source tax software, or plugin I think it will be better.
Same with Microsoft Streets&Trips -- there's simply no equivalent.
Use mapquest. No I am just kidding on that one, I don't know if there is an equivelant. That software came with your laptop / computer didn't it?
I can't connect a Linux box to my work's VPN either -- there's no working client.
We use Cisco VPN's they have a client for linux, the funny thing is that you can find them almost anywhere, especially around university's... Your work's configuration might be different, but there usually is good docs that you can follow For Example.
And if I managed to do so, what would I use to connect to the Exchange server to get my emails and appointments?
Ximian's Evolution is very outlook like, and Ximian Connector works with Exchange, I wouldn't say flawlessly, due to speed issues that I seem to be having, it looks like it connects to the Exchange server over port 80 but I could be wrong, however it works, to manage appointments, contacts, global contacts, and mail.
Linux games are few and far between, especially 3D games. Oh, and watching DVDs? (Legally, that is)
Oh so watching DVD's on any Lindows box is illegal? And most of the extremely popular FPS games have a native linux port and if not come pretty darn close from WineX (I play WCIII on Redhat 7.1, can't play any Half Life game though)
What sucks is even though this is a rebuttle I agree whole heartedly. That is why open formats are so important, it allows consumers choices. The more consumers that make companies realize that they want open standards, the better it is for all of us.
Instead of teaching people how to hack systems, wouldn't it make more sense to teach them how to set up firewalls properly, restrict setuid, restrict the number of services running, set up a patching strategy, and run an intrusion detection system like PSAD?
That's a good idea however, why do we know how to do those things in the first place. By teaching people how to hack, you teach them how to creatively think.
Think about it, who could design a better safe, a safe cracker who's been doing it forever and knows different methods of breaking in. Or someone who was taught how to make the last theoritical uncrackable safe?

It's a lot tougher decision to see that river card, if the other player is all in.
The exception of course, he's all in, but you got 95% of his chips.
It's still very much a statistical game even without 'reading people'.
Why you always throw away a 2 and a 7, pre-flop.
