I've been encountering a problem in the Applications folder where, if I'm using the icons view style and I ask it to arrange the icons, it puts a large block of empty space between the top 2/3 and bottom 1/3 of my icons. Sometimes there's an app in the empty space, mostly not. Anyone know if this is a bug or just an undocumented "feature"? In any case, are there any workarounds?
The subscription is only for the program guide data. You can still pause/rewind/fast forward live TV, and schedule recordings manually, without a subscription.
There are ways to get the guide data into the Tivo without a subscription, from third-party sources, though I've never tried to on my unit.
I value a package manager that uses a decent naming convention for its packages. If I want to install ncurses, I want to type install ncurses, not install libncurses5.
Also, I like a package manager that does a decent job removing packages. If I want to completely be rid of pptpd, all I should have to type is remove pptpd, and not have to worry that it left a million directories and configuration files sitting around.
Finally, I prefer a package manager that lets me override dependencies if I wish. For example, say I want to use pptpd. This requires ppp, but the version of ppp installed is only 2.0. I need 2.1, so I'd like the ability to somehow force the package manager to ignore the fact that ppp isn't installed so that I can install pptpd through it without having two versions of ppp cluttering things up.
Sorry - I guess what I said didn't express the point I wanted to make.
What I was trying to say was that whenever we hear a new product being announced, we don't hear 'This new hard drive is based on the super-magna-store technology we developed three years ago'. We just hear 'New Product! Increased capacity/speed/resolution/etc!'
Has anyone noticed that we are constantly being deluged with a slew of new technologies/products/techniques, but very rarely do we actually hear of a new product being released that is based on one of the aforementioned technologies?
They mean the icons are in 24-bit color, so millions of colors are available for designers to use. They can't possibly use all the shades in one icon, but they have a much larger palette of shades to choose from. As a result, the icons look better.
Slashdot Mirror
Stop hyping it, or they'll be enough subscribers to create mini-Slashdot effect.
Not surprising, considering that's the text of an IE error message.
Well, that site is mimicking Windows in more ways than one. Anyone got a mirror?

I really hope you're kidding, but I have to check...
Why does a jawbone need to be organic? Couldn't an artificial one be made of titanium or something?
I don't see what the problem is with Java. I believe an open-source JVM and compiler for Linux are available.
Heh...on the Fox News Channel's ticker, they had the following tidbit of information:
"The virus spreads using a Microsoft vulnerability known as "SQL Server""
"Microsoft is working on a functional language...".
Heh...funny. We're finally getting some humor around here.

And soon, Java will have templates, too (in upcoming version 1.5).

The first thing I thought when I read that headline was: "God, I'm so sick of hearing about Regis Philbin!"
Who let that mess slip through?
Perhaps they can switch between different storage areas.
From a TI-86 calculator, in the middle of my math final:
ERROR 29: BAD GUESS
Not exactly what I wanted to hear from my calculator.
I'd be extremely interested to hear how you managed to combine those three...
Are you programming simulations of moving plants with highly detailed physics?
Kinetobotanical Programming and Algorithms.
For displaying spinning renderings of the Death Star, silly!
You know, if you're going to bash a piece of software without even using it, get your freaking facts straight.
OEone is a desktop environment, not a distribution.
For Christ's sake, you could've figured that out from the Slashdot summary alone!
Well, the opinions of the NYTimes' technical staff don't necessarily have to match those of the editorial staff...

Wrong story, buddy.
