> Hell, if it weren't for the... uh... Swedish thing, I'd move to Sweden too!
You would be surprised at how little Swedish you need to know in Sweden. They speak better English than most Americans and many of the larger global companies conduct their business in English.
What will get you are the long dark winters and the labor laws.
You can create RSS feeds for job searches on craigslist. Very handy. Example: unix search
Of course, if this is an RSS feed for one small company, the value is a bit diminished. If it is for a large popular company like google, that feed would get a lot of usage. But bottom line, if your boss tells you to do it, get it done and stop wasting time on slashdot.
They started out as Telocity, which is not a bad name, but when Direct TV bought them out, accounts payable at my company had an issue with me trying to expense my Satellite TV bill.
This is a shame. For only $50, they were pretty power user friendly unlike the bells (but not as much as speakeasy). They gave out static IP's as part of their default package and they had no problem setting up DNS for you so you could point a domain name to your static IP. Let's hope covad can survive so there is at least one non-baby bell option open in the DSL world.
(Yeah, I know, $50 is still a lot of money, but a static IP package from Pac Bell is gonna be way over that price.)
Damn! Looks like I gotta move to the Santa Cruz area if I want to listen to the Pig. Oh well, at least rent is cheap. I can just live in my van down by the river with all the other hippies.
The quake was small and it was short. For the most part, California is built to withstand these things. I think the above average blizard in New England causes more damage.
If the quake was 30+ seconds, was greater than a 6, or if this took place in Boston, NY or another non-earthquake place, it probably would be newsworthy.
The one interesting thing is that a postseason sporting event (SJ Sharks vs. CO Avalanche) was in progress during the quake. Remember the last time that happened?
At 5:04 Oct 17, 1989, the pregame show was on for the world series which had the Giants vs. A's. Oh wait. This is slashdot.
The Sharks and the Avalanche are hockey teams.
The [SF] Giants and A's are baseball teams. At the end of the season, two teams play against each other. This is called the world series.
mail: if you are prone to outages, reboots or loss of power, you probably don't want to send your mail to your local box. Get a cheap $5 account and send all mail there. My connection went down when I was away on vaca and I lost lots of mail.
quiet: I kept my PC in my bedroom. My PC was loud. At times it would keep me awake or I would sleep on the couch. Get a quiet PC if possible
backup: Don't forget to backup. shit happens.
I used to host at home over SDLS, than northpoint went out of business. That sucked.
My replacement was an ADSL connection with a slower uplink and the tendency to drop the connection every few days. The only way to get the connection back is a hard reset of the DSL gateway/router. Damn!
>Also, how can it be determined that an email was.forward'ed?
You can kinda tell by how many "Received:" lines there are in the header.
Below is an example that went from source --> forward1 --> forward2 --> final destination (yahoo)

But will it understand voice commands?
"Jack, off." Hmm, why is it loading pr0n?
Good thing they put that on the interweb where there are no kids that can be offended by it!
So what! We had one in SF a few weeks back (technically on loan from Davis):r _050530.html

But then again, I guess this is a big deal in cow country....
The real funny(?) thing is when the workers at a McDonalds in Sweden speak better English than the typical burger flipper in the US.

Oops. This would be the specific RSS feed.

I am confused. How many libraries of congress is that? Did britannica pay them for that plug?

I hear the desktop is pretty bad. I'll just stick with windows :)
It's just not the same without the pigeons...

Before you know it, we're going to have to sign an ELA before we watch TV saying we will not skip the commercials.

Topica runs groups for free. I actually prefer them over yahoo because they have a "one click" unsubscription URL at the bottom of each email.

large animated gifs
pop-up banners
javascript errors
a flash intro
a counter
many java apps
a really busy background image
oh yeah, and don't forget the blink tag

I have since switched back to a 3rd party host.
