You give the jabber server your AIM/ICQ/MSN/Yahoo username and password, and it signs on to that service for you. I'd rather manage my own connections with Gaim, though I do use Jabber, but only with the couple friends I've switched to it.
So are you assuming PKWare defines *.zip? Should OpenOffice have a big disclaimer making it clear to everyone that it's not 100% compatible with MS Office?
These people are looking for programs called "Word", "Excel", etc. When they don't find these programs, they get disappointed. It doesn't matter that there are viable alternatives--they want "Word", "Excel", etc.
There have been a lot of posts claiming that Microsoft is "dumping" XP on the market at below cost to drive away competition. There is a problem with this: as another poster has mentioned, "dumping" is defined as selling an item below the variable cost (i.e. per-unit cost). A full XP box set costs less than $50 to produce, so this is not "dumping."
dumping - Export price that is "unfairly low," defined as either below the home market price (normal value) (hence price discrimination) or below cost. With the rare exception of successful predatory dumping, dumping is economically beneficial to the importing country as a whole (though harmful to competing producers) and often represents normal business practice.
Well, Australia is one of those countries that respects other countries. The US courts, however, have unilaterally given themselves jurisdiction over the whole world.
''I really don't think they understand or believe that illegal file-sharing is the same thing as going into Tower [Records], grabbing a CD off the rack, and running out the door with it,'' said Scott Hervey, chairman of California Bar's cyberspace law committee.
ps: If I had accepted the offer I mentioned, I would be multi-millionaire by now, as the company had been acquired by a larger entity, and the stock options have been converted into the stock of that larger corporation. That's the price for sticking with your principles in life!
But if that company had gone down and laid you off, you'd be screwed. And that possibility is much more likely around this time (not that someone with the salary you mentioned normally gets laid off).
I do understand his point. We have the right to mod our Xboxes, and they have the right to keep us from playing on their servers because of what we did. However, I'm not a big fan of Xbox live anyway.
Also, I haven't been too impressed with Knoppix's hardware detection: Redhat, Mandrake, Slackware, Libranet, Gentoo and Debian all recognized my network card without any extra work on my part. Knoppix is the only distro I've found that doesn't.
Sorry, been awhile since you posted, but I think it would be a safe assumption that the architect was only in the matrix when he expected Neo to find him. The oracle is in the matrix b/c her job is similar to that of the agents. I don't remember the seraph or the merovingian, but I'm seeing the movie again tonight.
It's not automatic, but you can export your bookmarks from one browser into a.html file, and then import them from another browser. And importing in the second won't break your current bookmarks--it will just add to them. Also, you could set each browser to use the same folder for profiles.
I was merely stating a fact. I have never attempted to embed Perl into C or C into Perl. And yes, I have only used Perl for relatively simple programs, most of which could be done in C as well, but would take longer to code. It'll take a lot to convince me that there's a better language than Perl for simple text processing. But for complicated programs I think i'd have to stick with C or C++. As for plugins for applications, generally the application supports plugins best in one language, which is the language I'd try to use to write plugins for it.
And so far, the only languages I've been exposed to are C, C++, Perl and RESOLVE/C++, so I cannot make many comparisons. I don't know a thing about Python, except that whitespace matters--I do plan to take the time to learn it at some point.
Again, I was merely stating a fact. As far as I can see, nearly every language has it's pros and cons. I am not experienced enough to know many of them.

I'm not sure you know what dumping is defined as.
I take no credit for this post. Give it to him.
I use year/month/day. It makes sense logically, and is understood by Americans.
This isn't just an EE thing, but The Ohio State University claims to have the best freshman engineering program in the country.
Yea he would. MySQL seems to do fine with roughly the same business plan.
Well, Australia is one of those countries that respects other countries. The US courts, however, have unilaterally given themselves jurisdiction over the whole world.
Well, AOL would have to switch back to MSIE--AOL 8.0 currently uses Gecko.
I believe we should have the right to play on other servers if we do not want to play on the server offered by MS or Blizzard.
There's a fairly good chance he isn't in the EU.
Yes, but if you have full-time work a non-compete isn't nearly as bad.

While I probably would put Libranet on in place of Lindows, I do want to try Lindows, and am willing to give it a chance.

There's also GeekPAC, but I haven't heard a thing about them lately.
Speaking of which, whatever happened to GeekPAC?
Look at Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Enable Cookies -> But ask before accepting.
But if you stay with Mozilla, and keep upgrading, you'll be switched to Firebird/Phoenix/whatever anyway.

I am by no means an expert on Perl, but I do know that you can embed Perl in C, and that you can write Perl modules with C.
