Call me crazy, but if someone mistakenly leaves their wireless network open, and you hop on and use their bandwidth...couldnt they sue your pants off for stealing from them? And isn't stuff like that a crime, anyway?
There may be some that intend to let people share their bandwidth so they leave it open, but I'm sure that's not the case for most....
ah, she's a bit beyond speak-and-spell...she does manage to work her way thru the right-click on the root window to pull up blackbox's menu, and navigate down to the apps->win4lin entry to pull up a Win98 session in a window on my Linux box...gotta give her credit there.
Girls only seem to learn computers as much as they have to, as opposed to guys, who learn all they can, whether they need to know it or not.
Do you think it would be worth it to install OSX on such a laptop, used by my gf, who pretty much just surfs, word processes and checks email on it? She's got Mac OS 9 on it, which works ok but freezes up too much. Is OS X gonna make this better? i guess, are the problems having to do with the apps, or with the laptop hardware?
Anyways...yeah, what on earth makes this front page news? And without a good way to carry your monitor, you're still going to have to make a 2nd trip anyway...ah well.
Hey, don't get any ideas bud.....i already came up with the $5000 a week idea, see my post (#119 maybe?). There ain't room for the two of us in this business!
Hey, don't go stealing my idea, I dont wanna be dealing with any competition. I wanna be the one getting paid for the crappy fan sites. I already beat you to the idea, as you can tell because my previous post comes before yours:)
I figure if I make up a nice resume on Monster, throw together a couple crappy fan sites (of course, I would not be at liberty to discuss the people financing those sites), and offer to do it for a reasonable $5000, I should be set, right?
You know, this all seems cool and stuff, but this story just aint that good for generating conversation beyond "ok, that's great...next story please?" So . . . next story please?
Better yet, add management's email addresses about a gazillion times to the list, and let them decide for themselves if their spam is a good thing.....
If you don't have time to set your VCR's clock (I can do it in well under a minute, I think, though I've never timed it), then you're living your life wrong. I mean, what's wrong with a little time out now and again? (mental note...throw in some quote about sniffing the roses or something).
How do you decide when your product is "dumbed down" enough? Should we be making cool gizmos instantly useable to your average blue collar Joe Schmoe? Or a little more difficult than that? I mean, if learning to set your VCR, or operate your PC, or turn off the god-damned annoying features of MS Office, or whatever it is makes your brain form a couple new synapses, are you really all that much worse off?
That flashing "12:00" . . . stands for innovation created without humans in mind.
Oh c'mon...does this mean everyone who manages to set their VCR clock is automatically a member of MENSA, and will be among the chosen few whisked off to another planet when humankind dooms itself?
The problem is, as always, just too damn many stupid people.
I tried searching nearly every opennap network for Metallica Call of Ktulu, and just had no luck (sure, a couple ppl seemed to have it but the transfers never started).
Now I had no trouble finding it on the filtered Napster. Go figure.
By the way, I was legitimately seeking this song, cuz my Ride the Lightning cd got too scratched up. Crazy eh...a legit use of Napster to download a copyrighted song?
What with the APCI power management and other stuff, I think getting midori's kernel enhancements into the main kernel is going to benefit a lot more people than the big iron patches
You know, with all the people who complain about the quality of music encoded as MP3 vs Ogg vs the original CD....It just makes me sick. I mean, the recorded music you're listening to was all doctored to hell anyway to make it sound right. I say, just go to the concerts by these artists and hear the music how it really sounds, and stop your frickin' whining, it's pissing me off.

As for the snow there, it's probably more icy, from being compressed by the weight of all the snow above.

- set it up
- push power button
- call appropriate government authority to report them
If they're not giving people an unsubscribe option, they're breaking the law, right?Man, ping times are gonna SUCK on that network. I'll take my Q3 elsewhere....
I didn't realize we were discriminating against glider pilots....

Wow....I got something marked as insightful for saying there's too many stupid people? That's pretty dumb...
