Rogers has been supplying horrendous internet service here in Ontario for years. Connection is down frequently for peak periods, email inacessable for days, downloads sometimes so slow that dialup is faster. It was only a matter if time someone took Rogers to court over such (lack of) service.
Well if these inexperienced people were a thorn in your side to your magnificent IT career then why did you hire them in the first place?
Take a look around bub! It's not just dot.coms that are laying off people, it's the entire Tech sector from software to telecommunications and it has spilled off into other industries including automotive and most others. Nortel just layed off 20000 and just announced that another 10000 are going and that includes entire divisions that have been shut down. Do you thing those are all entry level html coders? Alot of those are engineers and people with computer degrees! Almost all tech companies have announced profit warnings and layed off people.
Man, think and use your head next time before you speak, less shit will come out of your mouth.
I believe the Martians from "The Three Stooges in Orbit" were named "Ogg" & "Zogg" Perhaps it was named after Ogg.
If that is the that case it's a cool name because anything to do with the Stooges is cool, so we should all use it then, nuk-nuk-nuk...you numbskull..I'll moida you!

Considering that almost every episode of TNG had Geordi warning of a warp core breach, I'm suprised that there are any Galaxy class starships left.
Sure,if you use "Spocks Brain" episode as a comparison. The original series has something the following series never had-good stories and good writing, but most of all, consistency! And the battle scenes in STTOS, although cheezy and lame by todays standards, are much more exciting and riveting than any in later shows, except for maybe when the Dominion battle Starfleet on DS9. And the music from the original series-nothing beats the da-dunt-da-dunt-da-da-du-dunt when the Enterprise attacks the Doomsday machine. Or the fisticuffs music of dunt-da-da-da-da, dunt-da-data-data-da, dunt-da-da-da-da-da-da-DA-DA!
So Kirk got laid in a few episodes, big deal. Who doesn't wish he could get in the pants of a hot babe with the corny lines he used?
If BeOS 5 would have came out in 1993, and if it would have been marketed properly, it would have been a success and a valid competitor to the OS's of Y2K1.
BeOS simply doesn't do enough different from other OS's for too many people to justify using it. It was cool to show friends BeOS booting in 11 seconds, and the speed of responsiveness was amazing, even with dozens of apps loaded, but it needed apps and apps were not to be found. All of what it BeOS does you can find in MS, Mac, or Linux.
BeOS had alot of potential, but too little too late.
I remember that episode and I had nightmares from it for weeks. The creature had one big glowing eye, and the commander grabbed a hatchet and hacked the eye out in order to kill it.
The first season of 1999 was great, but after that when that female changling came on the show, it got lame.
Welcome to a real job my friends! No longer will you be burdened with a dull, boring, dreary, repetitive, meaningless, dead-end summer job, but instead you will have a dull, boring, dreary, repetitive career. The only difference is that you will be payed $20-$40/hr more.
But seriously, any job, even you happen to land your dream job, has its' share of boring and repetitive tasks. That's life. The most important thing is that they don't become the norm.
I also used earlier incarnations of Gnome and I was not impressed by them-slow, buggy, many things simply stopped working for no obvious reason. KDE had much more stability and speed so I kept using that.
But my opinion changed when I tried the Gnome that ships with mandrake 7.2-it is much faster than before, stability is similar to KDE-I have yet to have it lock up on me or blow X out of the waters. I still prefer KDE, but the choice no so easy to make now.
But really, you should know that if you like KDE, stick with it, and don't worry what anyone else uses.
Ever wonder why they don't just reduce the price at the cash register instead of making you go thru the hassle of filling out the form, finding the upc, copying the receipt, sending all this in, then the company having to cut the cheque and send it out to you?
It's because the mail in rebates is the best way for companies to get your name and address into their database. Comanies know darn well the only a small percentage of customers register their software or products after purchase, and the rebate is a good way for these comapnies to get their hands on your infomation.
Fill in and send away a rebate, and in a few months you will be getting advertisements and other junk addressed directly to YOU.
with a big schlong and invulverable balls! And I quote:
"The genitalia of the Ximian red ape is quite visible between its legs, but don't attempt to disable it with a strike to that region. It has almost no nerve endings in its genitals, which additionally allows the red ape to make love for hours without orgasming. Instead, aim your blow for the sharp bone ridge above its eyes; the sonar organ located therein will ring with the force of your blow for many minutes, stunning the creature."
Actually I don't recall ever seing a version 1.0 of IE
I do! Came out before 2, if I remember my math correctly.;)
Now iE1 was a piece of crap. So was 2.0. IE didn't get usable until 3.0, and that was the beginning of the end of NS.
all typical lusers, that is whose who allegedly love MS stuff, tried win2k, and every single one of them removed in within 2 weeks.
Good for them! If they don't like it why would they keep on using it? Why the hell does every anti-MS luzer think of OS choices in terms of black and white or night and day:if you use one MS product you have to use them all and nothing else:or if you use Linux you never can use Windows?
Their general impression: "same shit, only moved some stuff around
As in your words, bullshit! Obviously they are lusers if they think it's the same as NT4. How about PnP that acutally WORKS instead of that lame PnP in 95 or 98, or DirectX, or Power Management?
And still crashes from time to time So I read but I've been using either W2KAS RC2 and W2KP for 12 months now and I can't even remember the last time it crashed. And no, I don't reboot every nite, I hibernate the system. For comparison I've had linux dump alot more cores and X blow up more often than W2k in the same time, and I maybe use it 10% as much as W2k.
Same for Office2k
Yeah I don't care for O2K much either. It's "intelligence" gets in the way of work but since I use windows you assume that I'm supposed to blindly love it, right?
So as of now, 2 generations of MS products did'n appeal to their target customers. Can we say "out of business soon"?
Oh Jesus! Soon? Are you speaking in geological time? Whether you like it or not MS is going to be on top of the software food chain for a long time until someone comes up with something better. And we all know it's not Linux-even Linus admitted it was just a hobby OS.
...with IE-I assume you're talking about IE since you're referring to W2k.
Go to IE-->Internet Options-->Security-->click on 'restriced zones'. Click on 'sites' and add the site you want to block-*.xyz.com. Then click on "Custom Level" and disable everything including cookies. You can even add apps (outlook, etc) to the restriced zones to prevent them from running scripts or activeX in email. This is such a clunky way of blocking/setting security no wonder not too many ppl know about it, but it works.
Oh pleeeez! Eudora suffers from self-induced asphyxiation. Eudora was great in its' time-back when the choice was Eudora or Pegasus(pegasus was better though)-but now it's big, bloated and buggy, even when compared to OE (well maybe not quite as bloated, but still buggy).
As far as Agent goes it suffers from market saturation-"free as in choice", as I've heard others say about Linux. Xnews has taken many a user away from freeagent.
I believe I read on Slashdot a while back that the Patent Office was going to be overhauled and new rules were to be put in place to stop these silly stupid internet patents. Guess ebay is thinking they better grab what they can while the gettin's good.
Don't take my earlier post literally-it was sarcasm.;) When I'm browsing linux newsgroups or message boards too often the response to newbie questions is "read the man pages" or "read the HOWTO's", and that get's under my skin. If a newbie can be given a simple solution that prevents him from spending hours looking thru docs it should be given to him. Everyone was a newbie at one time and needed help-too bad so many people forget that!
Yep, I've gone thru the man pages, tutorials, admin documents, howto's countless times and they are indespensible and are alot better than they were a couple years ago. I think the best place to find info is in newsgroups or dejanews. IRC has helped me a couple times too.
Really? I just tried 'man kde Tutorial" and "man gnome Tutorial" and "man Linux tutorial for windows users" and it says they don't exist. Maybe I'm using the wrong case. What distribution are you using?
As much as I hate Linux/Unix zealotry, of course it is an OS just by definition-it makes the system operate. Everything else are apps that run ontop of the OS.
Christ, and Linux Zealots scream about all the Microsoft FUD. If this is the information that Linux Zealots are trying to pass as fact, then the linux following is turning into nothing but a cult.
This whole document is written not from the newbie perspective but from the perspective of a user who has had alot of 'nix or linux experience.
Yeah it takes me less than an hour to install Linux now, but the first time it took me an entire day. And that was just to get to root> and then spent week figuring out what to do next. And getting it to dial out and connect to my ISP was a weekend adventure, although it takes me 3 minutes now, unless linux does not detect the modem, which happens very frequently.
And the section about preemtive and competitive multitasking, give me a break! Copying a file a few dozen Megs in size makes linux noticably less responsive. Searching for files using find is even worse. Installing a program like StarOffice or Netscape uses up so much resources that doing anything else is almost impossible. Sound like anyone else's OS?
A more thought out and fair approach would serve Linux better. Give credit where credit is due.
In the real world Mozilla is dead and Netscape is dying. As much as I and others want to use Mozilla and Netscape in Windows, their bugs and instability have forced us to use IE.
In the Linux world Mozilla is alive and always will be. Unfortunately Linux will never unseat Windows on the desktop but at best will make a small dent. I, like so many others, have given up on Linux for the desktop because we got tired of waiting for Mozilla. All we wanted was a decent, fast, stable browser with a decent email client, and this still seems a year away at best.

V3-2000 AGP is supported well under Linux. Never tried 3D, but 2D is fast and drivers are quite stable under Linux.
That does not make the OS any less important.
