I think the name fits better for a magazine about the city Redmond, or has the city Redmond already found its place in the ranks of Washington, Hiroshima, or Chernobyl? Cities that when you mention their name, there's always something associated with it..
Redmond is perhaps like Chernobyl... contaminated with toxic waste from a famous institution in it.:P
*) Bush has dramatically INCREASED the threat of terrorism.
Indeed. Funny how the other day, some twat from the administration said Iraq is now safer without Saddam Hussein. Damn, that's some funny definition of "safer". In the old Iraq you just had to be a quiet citizen and stay the fuck out of Saddam's business and you're okay, nowadays going to the market involve making sure no carbomb goes off near you along the way, not to mention the bandits with the Kalashnikovs.
Dubya has increased terrorism in Iraq (and the world), that's for sure. And it looks like the World War III soup is being brewed by the eastern and western neighbours of Iraq as well; we now fear Iran is building the Bomb, Israel is threatening with airstrikes against their nuke plants, the rest of the muslim world is threatening retaliation...
In ET, there's a scene where a cop makes a road-block of some sort -- I think to prevent ET and the kid from escaping? I don't remember -- and the cop held a shotgun in his hands. In the 20th Anniversary release, the shotgun has been edited into a walkie-talkie, for reasons that I can sure you can imagine. Great huh?
Actually, if you turn off "Show Buddy Icons" (somewhere in the Preferences), Gaim shows only the 16x16 protocol icons, which makes for a buddy list which is a lot more compact, therefore smaller as well, especially without the ads.
The problem of directory sizes, is that Gaim installs all possible languages -- you can set LANG=?? as an environment variable and get Gaim in that language. I suppose you can delete the unnecessary language files to save space. And from the looks of it, you're using ICQlite. Whatever happened to the full-blown ICQ, which installed a light web-server so people can visit your "homepage" and even chat to you through a Java-Applet of sorts.
Argh, I fail to see how GWB is making the US a safer place. The US has now gone 3 years without a terrorist attack. Gee, I think there wasn't an attack between 11 Sept 1998 and 10 Sept 2001, was there?
If anything, Bush is making it a lot worse, what he's done is create a lot of anger against the US, and anger creates extremists. Attacking Afghanistan was right, but attacking Iraq? Abu-Ghraib isn't exactly creating a lot of sympathy points for the soldiers (who bloody cares who's responsible for it, the soldiers or Rumsfeld, Americans are all the same, in the viewpoint of (probably) the majority of the Islam world.
No, "Oh, we can just kill them", is not a solution.
Too bad government (and business nowadays it seems) are only interested in short term benefits. Terrorists attacking us? What do we do that will make us safe in the short term? Bomb the hell out of 'em. Great. Did that, and now the antipathy against USA is growing and growing.
I wish instead Bush had respected the wishes of the majority of the Muslim world, e.g. considering Israel. Sure he wouldn't make an impression on the extremists, but at least it would keep the moderates from becoming extremists, and the USA-friendly folks to become USA-skeptical (eg. me). But nooooooo, that would have been wussy and too "sensitive" and too "liberal".
I hope Kerry wins the elections, great that he can then start fixing the USA, really bad fucking luck that USA (the economoy, the principles upon which it stood) got broken in the first place and he has to inherit it.
Sorry to be creepy by invading your privacy, but through your link I managed to find a picture of your bride-to-be. I'll put it this way, I don't think she fits the Girly-Magazine standard of beauty..
Maybe they'll built the first realistic AI, and an AI-controlled virtual world where you can escape real-life, where people would get addicted and rather stay there...
RC5? My God you have your priorities distorted. Read this why don't you? What a waste of CPU-cycles. If you're going to use them, why not do something like Protein Folding, where you can contribute to the cure of diseases?
In an efficient world, if everybody's assigned 2 people to call, and none of them overlaps, you'd get the message spread through 1,3,7,15,(2^n - 1) people very quickly. Of course that's if the minions agree to everything the alpha-creature says, if there are competing alpha-creatures (when you think of college jocks), you'll never get off the phone, and you'll never get all of them in one place!
Ah, considering you're on the location, can you answer one question for me? I already posted this somewhere else, but I hope you can give me a response..
My cousin claims to have seen on TV, a report that said the olympic flame went out the morning after it was lit up. I can't find the report on Google News (he says "Does everything that happen in the world have to be on the internet? Us having dinner isn't on the internet is it?" - "No, but ours isn't an event being watched by x billion people!" was my response), and I thought he might've just misinterpreted the news report -- it was in German, not his native tounge -- but after reading about the IOC-draconism, I consider the idea that it's possible that they're preventing the news media from reporting this.
Have you heard anything about the flame going out? Could you ask other people? Should I ask you to ask, I wonder if it's true or if my posting here would just end up spreading this dumb rumour all over the world..
Relateing to the evil IOC, my cousin claims he saw a news report that said the olympic flame went out the day after it was lit up. I can't find news about it in Google, but after reading about blogging restrictions, it may be that IOC has told all the networks, they can't report about the flame. I'm putting this here to ask if anyone else heard about the flame going out? Maybe someone there? The athletes would be prohibited from talking about it, I guess, with the threat of disqualification -- isn't that absurd, disqualification.
I was watching the Opening Ceremony, it was a great show, until they started this a tribute to Eros, the god of Love, with a pair playing in the water, and they kissed! Oh my Zeus, they kissed each other, won't someone think of the children, we need a special senate session, call the FCC and tell them to bomb Greece!!! This shameless moral corruption must not go unpunished!
I wonder if they can mix&match, and let the old card render parts of the scene which doesn't need this special effect. But with shaders, I guess you'd have a screen which uses it 100%, if you want to make it look right.
I liked O&O Defrag as well, but somehow it can only see my C: and D: partitions.. they're not in the default order, and there's some Linux partitions in between, so that might be the reason, but I'd expect disk programs to be able to recognize all partitions..:/

Ha, maybe it guessed digid (my grandparent poster) ended up in a, um, Maghrebi neighborhood, and needed help with the local language.
Next question Google has to answer for me is, WTF is Maghrebi?!?

This looks like stolen code, what's PMK_Util ?
I think you should've mentioned the site where you got it from..

Hehe, I also looked at the end of the list. But what's Lauro (rank 86794)?
I guess it's a name. Heehee my name's in there as well.
Didn't MS say, if "hackers" can see the code, it would be easier to write exploits for it? Why are they exposing their own code then?!?

So, is anyone from your neighborhood also a BDSM-fan?

Sounds like a film plot to you?
I remember a Slashdot article about people throwing real SUV's off planes (with magnificent landings). Now those are flying SUVs. :)
Argh, not "Conversation", "Comprehension"!
Now, which class do I have to go to...
Uh, I think the grandparent poster was referring to how government agents think, and not terrorists?
Reading Conversation 101 is that way =>

So will that be the case for each new bug?
"I found an exploit! Gimme money!"
"Oh, we had that 3 years ago, but it was confidential, here take a look at our DB. *snickers*."
Wow IP and IP, one acronym for 2 different meanings in the same sentence, I wonder if there's a rule against it...
