Isn't the idea that the users organize these things themselves, I mean, I think you could have organized one and told the appropriate people here so that it would get announced for other NZ'ers to see. Although if you're like me, you couldn't be bothered calling the bar/restaurant whatnot.
Those were the dot.com days... when things started going down the drain, they changed things so you could make $20 when you surf, 2 hours per day for 5 years.. how exciting.
Great, how many of these people really need penis enlargers? Or hot naked coeds? Hmm, then again, they're politicans, they probably have enough of that. OTOH, at least it would wake them up to spam..
That's the problem with IT, even if you can see the Euro symbol, there's a significant chance that other people can't, especially those grandmas who are running Netscape 3 on Windows 95 with no font updates. Guess they should have taken a standard ASCII code, what would be a good one, maybe ASCII two or three (The smiley face)..
I miss those blinking lights, my new keyboard is wireless and has no lights at all, probably to conserve battery power, and the only way to see the status of the keys is through a Windows program..
Waidaminute, that's no Windows XP screenshot! (Warning really large JPEG) The label of the icons on the desktop have a plain colored rectangle background, something which all version of Windows have, except for XP. Suspicious...
Fucking Gates, he's resorted to bribing people to get them to use his software. Sucks! I wonder what Mr. Villaneuva's going to say about it. Coup d'etat? That would be interesting, a real revolution brought about by Open Source.:o
That's funny, when they don't promote OS X, MS yells at them for not doing it enough, and when they do make ads, MS yells at them because they're trying to inform/steal MS's customers. But Jobs has been giving MS the finger all this time, I'm sure he'll be able to continue doing so and survive.:)
Interestingly, a traceroute to www.tibet.com (what Google comes up with for the query "official website of the Tibetan Government in exile") ends up at plato.aristotle.net. www.aristotle.net is an ISP in Arkansas. That ain't in Sealand, is it?
net help time (in W2K Command Prompt). The only GUI option is the option to start the service on bootup, it's under Administrative Tools, Services. You can even set the NNTP server it should connect to, I use my uni's server.
Reminds me of where I used to work (a McDonald's Kitchen, actually), there was a girl whose last name was Flego, and she was being a bitch one day. She was a bit flat-chested, so a guy started making fun of her, saying out loud to the others "Anyone here know Legos? Those are cool toys. But the Lego people, the girls have no tits, you know.".
It worked and got her a bit upset, it was funny..:o
Curiously, I wonder how in Star Trek they deal with different communication protocols, to be able to handle full screen video each time different species want to talk to each other. Is there a modem handshake involved somewhere?
Maybe it's a hint for the new Star Trek film, which trailer came online yesterday, and what a kickass trailer it is too.. "Sir, are you sure this is a good idea?" "Well, we'll see won't we Data." Boom!!!
wow, a new use for your idle CPU cycles, a distributed app that runs this program and tries to re-create Shakespeare's entire work. No need for an infinite amount of typewriters!!
Is this the first big "unofficial" fork of the Linux kernel? We've had different trees, but those have been maintained by people who are very close to kernel-development (I only know of AC, but I belive there are more), but this tree seems to have come out of nowhere? I hope this isn't the event that marks the beginning of Linux following of the old Unix history.
I guess that's the idea of a modular and open-source kernel, you can add things you want, remove things you don't want, but somehow adding patches from "outsiders" make me feel I'm not running a *real* Linux system - The way Linus Intended(TM).
OTOH, My LFS system is unique, with changes that make it different to standard Linux systems - including patches in the kernel - and I love the thing, so I guess there's no need to feel "guilt" over it.
What's up with the girl on the left side of this picture, is she a new digital booth-girl they're demoing? Full digital!! Currently available with only very low resolutions, but check out the framerate!!
We managed to get the Win3.1 Program Manager open on a Windows ME that was running IE in kiosk mode in a museum. After that it was easy to get the DOS prompt open, but after typing format C: and answering the Are you sure(Y/N)? with >Y, the program ended saying, "Cannot format drive C: There are shared files."
That answered my age old wonder of what would happen if one tried to format the drive one was running Windows out of.
We wondered how to download and install Linux on the box too, but gave up on the problem. Later, I thought it could be done like so: we could download a distro install disk and loadlin and make loadlin load the setup program through a line in autoexec.bat. It was quite funny considering we were visitors of a Linux event being held in the museum.
Actually when I was in Australia, the lowest denomination they had was 5 cents, but prices aren't always divisible by 5, in grocery stores for example. When last digit of your groceries bill is 1 or 2 cents, it gets rounded to 0 cent, for 3, 4, 6 and 7 you pay 5 cents, and for 8 and 9 it gets rounded up. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but I'm guessing that the laws of statistics would say that the end result is close to a balanced zero..
I believe one of the orginal premises of this whole article was that colored currency will make it easier for foreign visitors to use US currency. But that will not be the case unless the entire world standardized on particular colors for particular currency units. And that ain't going to happen.
Hesus! Geez, FYI, the rest of the world has had different color notes for a long time. I myself has lived in 3 countries with 4 different currencies (the last two because of the country's change to Euro money) and have never had any problem that each demonination has different colors, geez a 10 Australian dollar note is very much different to a 10 Euro note; different color, different picture on it, different material even.
It doesn't take very long to sub-conciuosly realise what value the colour and the pictures on the bills represent.

Quick, over here, call the DMCA Police, this AC just broke the DMCA! Quickly, while he's still here..
Sarcasm?
Maybe high resolution webcams...
Hmm, yes... hi-res coed-dorm webcam!

Wouldn't that combination be hard to press? with one hand on the stick, how would you reach both Ctrl und Alt? I suppose you could use an elbow..

In a corporate office somewhere, a thud can be heard as Hillary Rosen has a heart attack and falls upon reading this story.
