...Office 2007 ruining everything people are going off to Google Apps and OOo which deserve more applause than the piece of trash that is Office
Uh... How is OOo not a piece of crap? It has improved quite a bit since StarOffice 5.x, which was _REALLY_ crappy, but that's just like moving from an old Yugo to a newer Yugo. For what it does (for the end user), the office suite is actually pretty damn usable, if you don't need advanced features, such as tables within tables. Once you start going beyond what 80% of the population needs, it sucks pretty hard. Unfortunately, OOo sucks pretty hard right out of the box.
Not saying OOo is not improving, but it still has a long way to go.
Depends on where you're at. In Memphis, in the 19th century, there was a whole bunch of deaths related to sewage issues, so they have two separate lines, one for sewage, and one for storm runoffs.
In San Francisco, they did not have such issues, so everything goes out one pipe, resulting in inefficiencies in treating the water, as well as potential health related issues. To fix the problem - change to a 2 line system, is estimated at trillions, so, probably won't happen tomorrow.
I didn't do a school report, but my water engineering professor talked about it...:)
That's interesting. I could have sworn that my mail server serves me content faster than 1mb/s. Everytime I type "pine", it pops up immediately. And the peanut gallery who points out pine is a MUA, I point out that it's running on the box that's the MTA as well.
Please use the correct term. What they are doing to torrent traffic is not throttling. Killing, stopping, fscking are all good words. Throttling is not. Throttling implies slowing down. RST packets do not slow down your traffic. There are actual throttling things you can do at the IP level. RST IS NOT ONE OF THEM
Umm, that's important in corruption, but in a system, you are either exploitable, or you are no exploitable. Perception has no place in it. It doesn't matter if you are perceived either way.
That's why the health insurance industry is the one promoting a healthy lifestyle. Before you tar all health insurances with a bad brush - note that people who have a NON-PROFIT health insurance company typically have way higher comfort/happiness with their health insurance than those with FOR-PROFIT health insurances.
What happens is that, unfortunately, there's too little promotion of *GOOD* law makers and too much of bad.
Like the guy who wrote the FDA laws, he started out as a pharmacist, and yet, no one knows his name today, despite his contributions to the health and safety of the nation.
There must be a way to publicize the good things a law maker did.
Sure, I'd like my pie in the sky and eat it too. Anyone who generates web content by hand is only doing it for a handful of pages. They can take the time to regenerate it for IE8 if they want to properly support it.
Anyone who is using a tool can go get the updated version of that tool.
Why do people keep arguing over the stupidest of things?
I despair at the IT field. Who says there's no other method of doing the right thing? IE8 has it's own agent string.
For everyone who uses Doctype, it can be assumed that they're using some kind of html generator, and that generator is already generating two kinds of pages, one for IE and one for w3c compliant browsers.
Just have the web server treat IE8 as a w3c compliant web browser... and have IE8 treat the web page as a w3c compliant/standard page, problem solved. Why would IE8 ever have to render a standards compliant page in a non-standard manner? And in those cases, shouldn't the page indicate that it's an IE7/non-standard page?

Play snake? Hell, microwave the damned snake and eat it. Yummy. Rattler for lunch.

Why do people who have no idea what the hell they are talking about get modded insightful?
Not marking it GPL does not stop things from working. It is simply NOT MARKED GPL.
ndiswrapper is NOT broken.
Wanting to make things better is not childish and punitive.
Just remember that he likes squirting, and that he thinks everyone should squirt and be squirted at...
Unfortunately, the x86 architecture and instruction set sucks.
No wonder Stallman's stepping down as the maintainer of EMACS. He's too busy GPLing Windows.

Just wait till Global Warming comes in!!!!!
OK... I may be out of line, but sounds like you need the help of a competent Solaris admin/developer.
OMG! What's Paris Hilton going to use now?
I believe he applied for work at Microsoft, and they turned him down.
Gila, like in Gila Monster? Gila like mad/crazy in Indonesian, a top 10 most frequently spoken language?
That'd be fun - yes, I'm coming in, the mad traffic controller has my routes.
And they care about your notice why?

don't think "pony". think "free sausage"
I have a degree in civil engineering, and my professors stressed over and over again, if I fuckup, people die.
In my compsci classes - oh, look, it compiles, lets hand it in.
There's a reason they don't let Evi Nemeth teach Intro C classes - she does the right thing, and flunks people who don't do things properly.
Well, now do you understand why they're doing this? After buying Yahoo, they still had some spare change that they didn't know what to do with.

Which reality are you from again?

People, it's *NOT* rocket science.
It's not that difficult to tell the web server "if detect IE6|IE6, insert fuckuptag".
Jesus H. Christ - is this the IT talent we have in place today?
Anyone who is using a tool can go get the updated version of that tool.
Why do people keep arguing over the stupidest of things?
Well then, you can also do the other things you need to do by hand too.
Again, I don't see any issue here.
