That's funny, in Indonesian history they called themselves "Non-Bloc Movement" or "Non-Aligned Movement" (in this article they mention "non-aligned countries"), hardly "third world", which they probably know has its connotations. The Indonesian government only use the term "third world" when begging for loans, you see.;-)
Surprised me there, no Yahoo hasn't been deleting mail, I still have mail from April 2002, which is the time Yahoo! stopped offering free POP3 downloads, I like keeping my emails, this 100 MB limit is surely a nice surprise.:) . You may be confusing it with Hotmail, which has deleted mail.
On the other hand, ick, the new interface is ugly, with any colour scheme.. It's probably the blue links and the buttons, that contrasts too much.
That's true, I remember reading a blog entry, the writer said the back of business cards usually have a map, it tells you which train station is the nearest and the route to the place from that station. People inviting you give out a map as well, an example of this is in Lost in Translation, Charlotte faxes Bob a map of how to get to a place where she was going to meet some friends, the place turned out to be a strip-joint!
But acroread looks like a piece of shit in the AA'ed, theme-able environment of today's desktop (dashtop?) linux!:( When are they going to release a new reader? Kghostview or ggv are replacements that are more than capable to replace acroread. Although I myself recently had a problem in which I couldn't get a PDF to look/print correctly in viewers other than in Windows...
Wow, an intellectually-honest Lefty. Rarer than hen's teeth, I tells ya!
Yes, as evidenced by your beliefs, both sides think the other one is dumb and lying through their teeth when they speak. So is the broken state of affairs in the USA and the world, what a fuck up.
Ah, too bad every article always has a bias, can't find any objective reporting on the net nowadays. At the bottom of the article it says the author is a senior fellow with the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, oh sounds nice right?
A click through that links bring you a page on how the Patriot Act defends democracy. Wow, really? I somehow doubt that.
Here you can see my bias too; I hate Bush and his Talibans of the US (so now Bush is giving federal funding for faith-based programs? Wow), and when I see an article criticizing the UN written by a Bush-ideology-supporter, I claim "she's biased", whereas when I read an article about the Bush and Bin Laden connection, I eat it without scepticism.
Too bad in this day and age, democracy and freedom -- add to that terrorism -- are just some of the pile of bullshit words that can mean anything. Depends on who says it. Bush says democracy in Iraq, and installs a puppet-government, he says freedom but how long will the Iraqis now suffer from political, economical and security chaos?
How about democracy in the homeland, yeah, people who try to say different things get ignored or forcibly silenced (removing them from their government post, harassing them), etc, etc.
Great work.. to mis-quote Yarkov, "in Soviet Russia, USA is the fascist land."
I don't think you can get away with Abu Ghraib that easily. For one thing, it's another "evidence" for those who hate the US that it really is an evil country. People may forget about Abu Ghraib, but its effects -- the impression that these white guys with their guns and tanks are there to colonialize and turn the citizens into animals -- will remain there. And for sure the extremists will use these pictures in their propaganda to recruit impressionable minds, heck impressionable? Who won't be pissed off when they see their fellow brother in race/religion be humiliated by a person of another race/religion like that. So thanks Lynnie England/whoever it is at the top of the chain of corruption, you just made Al-Qaeda stronger.
Well, the problem is when it doesn't play on your system. I'm the tech support for my friends, and I remember people calling to ask me, "I can't play this file." "What format is it?" "AVI." "Hmmpph." Teach me to ask questions. Or even some people believing AVI files are always DVD rips..

Aah, the Mac Help key.. I remember in highschool, we'd annoy each other by pressing the Help key, leaving the victim having to wait about 15 seconds before the old Performa manages to open the Help window for ClarisWorks. We'd close the window, and someone would just as quickly hit the Help key on our keyboard.
I used to do this too (well with Num Lock), but then I got a wireless keyboard, which doesn't have any LEDs!:( , got me confused a bit in the beginning, but my system rarely hangs now so I didn't miss the "check engine" feature.
A troll, more like it. What do we do with a troll with money, who's going to use it to publish the book. Argh, it pisses me off.
It's an annoying troll article, the 2nd paragraph begins with a hilarious inaccuracy: "The United States is the home of the United States Patent and Trademark Office, an internationally respected agency", respected? Buahahahaa..
Huh? The software shouldn't do that, or, it should, if by pressing the shift button you mean disable Autoplay in Windows, because the CDs use the autoplay function (in software/games CDs this feature normally loads the "Setup" program) to install its version of a CD-ROM driver that sends corrupt data when the computer tries to read (or is it write) a copy of the CD. A smarter software would just prevent such an installation.
I wonder if in ~40 years there'll be Godwin II: you lose an argument when you compare someone to the evil Dubya. If it does happen, you heard it here first, so better call the law after my name.;-)
Firing a big clump of waste on a well-documented 10,000 year orbit is just as good for the practical purpose of removing it as a hazard on earth. I think it has a chance of coming back in about 1995 years, but hopefully Fry will save the world.
He probably thinks it'd be funny because he's american and has small penis syndrome, he like a lot of americans can't be happy if another country is better than them or is right when they're wrong.
I wonder if Bin Laden thought this, "Hey, why don't we attack America. If they then turned to be the next Soviet Russia, Ha Ha! Wouldn't that be hilarious!"
The grand-parent poster can go suck Dubya's dick, the rest of you, go mod me down.
Strangely, a friend of mine here in Germany wanted to get an iBook, and he got to choose which keyboard layout he wanted -- english or german. I assume there are other layouts for other countries. So they do offer choice for that part, unlike other laptop manufacturers who usually just offer the local keyboard layout.
Jesus Fucking Christ! Bill Clinton lied about a blowjob, George Fucking W. Bush lied about a cause for a war that's costing you, what is it now, fucking half a trillion dollars? Not to mention the lost of your respect and good name in the international community; you visit a foreign country and say you're an American, and you'll be treated with as much respect as an Arab in your own USA.
Heck, I know sources I can get the prize for free... offer something tangible why don't you.
Well, name recognition would be in it too, I guess. So one might be able to get a job coding PHP. Although, the standard things PHP is used for doesn't exactly require advanced AI-beating algorithms, it's more boring and tedious representation of data -- "wow, a forum, with comments..."
Actually, it's usually the native speakers of english who have terrible spelling, non-natives have to formally learn the language and learn how to spell the words -- most learning is done through reading/writing anyway, whereas natives hear and speak a lot, but never really consider how to write the words they use.
You have me intrigued, how do you get the MAC address through the System Properties? The only way I know how to do it involves typing "netstat" on the command prompt (which would have been easier to explain, I think)..
I wonder as well; why the hell not? While you're at it, you can have the payload remove all spyware, and who knows what else to make the system nice; activate the firewall maybe. And keep the program running so it can download and install patches for Windows -- or it can probably edit the registry so that MS's Auto-Update system does the downloading and installing automatically, without having to fear that the idiot at the desk clicks cancel. Wouldn't that be strange, one would in effect become net-admin for the world, with the clients not being wise to the fact that there's someone taking care of their machines.
I think it's too far away down the page that anyone would notice it, when the editors just give it an "Update".. but hey, with a fresh article we can now comment about Linus's great statement.
