im sure the slight camera angles make all the difference in the world;)
Reminds me of an experiment I tried a couple years back. Hook up 2 webcams to your PC, place the cams about eye-distance apart, and then position the windows on your screen so they're side by side, and play with the horizontal gap between them. How cross your eyes, ala Magic Eye, and you get to see your head in 3d.
I wonder if it would be possible to find 2 tv networks whose cameras are just the right distance apart, put 2 tvs side by side and see the president in 3d:)
If microsoft got into making cars, coffee pots, computers, software, tv's, lawnowers, tupperwear, and underwear.... I suppose I could see the similarity;)
That does seem to solve that problem, but there is one more. I understand though that this is a problem with Outlook, and doesn't really pertain to migrating AWAY from outlook, but its still something I wanted to mention.
Outlook cannot import MBOX files. So if you're thinking of trying Thunderbird for a while, just be aware that you cannot import your mail back to outlook should you decide you like Outlook better.
Best bet is to tell Thunderbird not to delete messages from the server, and download them with outlook as well.
If you can tell me how to get years of archived email from Outlook's.pst files into whatever Thunderbird uses... I'll concider it. Also, convincing me that I will still be able to access that archived email several years from now helps and that the file formats won't be incompatible.
A story to explain my concern about future compatibility: I used to use ICQ back in 'the day', and each new build had a different database structure, so I had to migrate my entire message history each time I installed. Of course now, I have some version of those logs, but it is impossible to find a version of ICQ that will open them.
This has all been gone over before, but it isn't new to kde/gnome.
X*, win* go back farther probably.
I think it's both a style thing (recognizable 'gAIM, on that must be AIM for gnome'), and also it makes it easy to tell what works with what. xemacs clearly is the X version of emacs. winamp clearly doesn't work on linux or mac, and konquerer clearly doesn't work on gnome.
Not everyone uses OO.org. Even if you have OO, there will be times you'll want to create a PDF out of something other than a OO document. Sure its rare, but it might happen.
In a deeper post on this thread you complain that PDF is overused by teachers/etc. I would like to point out that one HUGE reason teachers use PDF is because it is secure. Once they create the PDF, it is non-modifiable.
woah... did NOT know you could do that with aim.. that made my day.
Know if you can do it through trillian, too?
Question from an "outsider"

D&D Is 30
·
· Score: 1
I have never really cared for D&D at all... it never sounded interesting to me. I'm almost done reading the LOTR books, and was just wondering if the D&D world was based off Tolkien's world? I know there's some overlap, atleast as far as such things as elves, dworves, etc, right?
Can someone explain the connection, if there is one?
The big difference, atleast in the eyes of the artists:
Radio stations (real ones - AM/FM) PAY tons for the right to broadcast those songs. How many internet radio stations (the streamcast ones or whatever) have paid a license to broadcast each of those songs? Thats why radio stations have commercials, to pay for the right to play songs.
Now you listen to it for free, rip it, and probably throw it up on a P2P network. If you like the music so much, encourage the artist to produce more by buying it.
You know why the RIAA is going after P2P? Because its used mostly for piracy. Sure, some legit. songs are being downloaded, but the majority of it is blatant piracy.
Now here we are saying Internet radio is good, legitimate fair use; and then we use it for piracy.
Just like how Apple tried to be relaxed with their AAC DRM, but people just had to crack it. Sure, ther e are valid reasons for this, but once again people will use a valid, legal technology for piracy and ruin it for the rest of us.
Ray Kurzweil wrote an interesting book about the progression of technology over the next 100 years. Based on his law of accelerating returns, he predicts various events for the next few decades until the Singularity.
The book was published in 2000, and already he'd made quite a few accurate predictions, and many since then have been accurate as well.
When I listen through an album, I absolutely hate shuffle. I like to know exactly what is next. Usually the album is on repeat too.
I think though, it has to do with my style of music as well. I like techno and classical quite a bit, both of which are highly repetative and predictable. I often use music as a way to keep my mind focused while working, and so it has to follow a steady pattern. If it were to jump around, I'd probably get distracted by it. Sometimes I even pick a single song and leave it on repeat for hours. Rarely ever do I create playlists with mixed artists or albums, its either 1 song on repeat, or a full album on repeat.
"But you got more features Bob... What new features, specifically? Being told what devices I can use to play music is not a feature.
and besides, MP3's are illegal."
The MP3 format is not illegal. I own many CDs which I have ripped to MP3 to fit on one CD-R to take to work. I own the license to those CDs, do not share them, and use them at only one place at a time. This is fair use.
Normally I don't reply to ACs, cuz what's the point?
But look at this picture: link and tell me again she's not attractive? I think perhapse you got "teenage boy" and "incredibly hot supermodel" confused there...
WiFive is another free VOIP app for PocketPC. With WiFive you can connect to other WiFive users, Netmeeting, or if you have your own Gatekeeper (call server), you can make calls through the PSTN as well.
From the article: Nintendo will unveil its eighth "Metroid" game, "Metroid Prime 2," at its E3 press conference May 11.
While I have my concerns about the movie(s) (note that the FIRST movie will be before 2006), a 2nd Metroid Prime ought to be sweet! ------- * Concerns for the movie(s): * Ditsy actress for Samus * Samus running around with 2 pistols * Capturing the feel of the games. They are primarily puzzle games with a little action. * Staying true to the Metroid world (Nintendo Power comics? story bits from all the games?)
Preparations A through G were a complete failure. But now, ladies and gentlemen, we finally have a working [gravity probe] which we shall call...Preparation H!"
Actually I'd dare say singleton is the pattern for 1-night-stand-slut.
Slut.getInstance() is called quite often, but can only be called once at a time. No permanent references to the Slut object should be left around by the calling object:)

"Project Grizzly Bear-Proof Suit Up For Auction"
I thought this was some sort of law suit up for action about some project about a mathematical Proof called the "Grizzly Bear-Proof"
craziest mis-read ever!

I don't see this working very well honestly...
What about times when you need to run (b button), look up(L button), and fire your weapon (X button), for example?
There are many times when multiple buttons are pressed at the same time.

Every time i hear bout this Adrian Lamo guy, I get excited thinkin its the Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima, only to realize its just this loser :)
