Well, nowadays they would send you to Novell so it might even work;-)

First I'm using Linux not Windows but to the point: I wrote bout thefact that it isn't just the time for booting, if you change your display settings you either want to test it, so you test different settings and reboot many times or you want to run a special application so you set the display settings (which takes some time any way you're doingthis), wait 30 seconds, start the special application, work close it, (these three steps need to be done anyways) wait30 seconds and open you're usual workdesktop (browser, maillcient,...) if you have to do this more often it's really annoying.

It's not only the booting process, it's stopping and starting the applications,too. Closing my web-brwoser including every application and if you testdifferent settings these 30 seconds sumup plus you need timeto reopen the wizard...
CSU, which has just won the European elections[...]
sorry, but that's wrong.
This quote from the article was meant to make clear that the CSU is an important party and I think 57,4% n Bavaria an 41,7% in Munich is something like winning an election. But next time I'll explain how Germany works, with all parties etc....
But they are APACHE projects. From the PHP website..."PHP is a project of the Apache Software Foundation."
Afaik there have been some license issues (like PHP not taking the Apache 2.0 License etc) lately so PHP isn't an Apache project anymore, but I'm not sure about the current state - just looked at apache.org and there it is said that PHP is a "sister project"
does it have a calendar, calculator, email-client and of course tetris build in?
Since Emacs has theese but no good editor - let's combine joe and emacs, thena nice Kernel (what about Hurd?) an we've gut a nice Operating System to fight against Windows;-)
For important things, like Login to a remote system or something I use the first letters of the first sentence that comes to my mind - but in the endI only type the sequences without remebering what it meant - that's quite funny - finding the sentence after some months with only having the letters;-)
At unimportant systems I use something like qwerty 'cause it's quite easy to type fast....
Serious question: are there any open source scripting languages that _can_ handle threads?
PHP itself is completly thread safe, but as soon as you link it to a library, that is not threadsafe PHP isn't thread safe anymore and usually you link
PHP against many libs (glibc, gd, libxml2, mysql, ldap,...) and some of them aren't thread safe. Just configure PHP with something like
./configure --disable-all --with-apache2
and you've got an threadsafe PHP build for Apache2 - but using this isn't any fun since most things from external extensions is missing.
I think you don't really need public/private/protected in a scripting language. More interesting for me are other improvements like that assignments like
$a = new foo(); $b =$a;
are made by reference. With PHP4 even the first line would create a copy of the object. Also interesting arenew extensions like MySLi, the new soap extension or the rewrite of the XML-Extensin based on libxml2 (including the realy nice SimpleXML-Extension)....
A collection of PHP5 information can be found p.e. on this German site (most links lead to English pages, and I'm one of the ones running this site - so it's the best (German) PHP site *g*)
Compiling PHP on a 64bit platform worked since some times. As you can see at bug #27717 make test, after compiling failed at some tests, which work now. I know some 64bit isntallations even though I haven't such a machine myself....
At least not me. German freeways are called A(number), with "A" meaning "Autobahn", the A9 is the one from Munich (my home) to Berlin - so that's what I was remembered on;-)
I think it ddepends very much on the album. There are albums where the order is unimportant and shuffle is nice for having variation but thereare albums where the order off the songs is well thought an has an introduction, a climax and an ending (thiscan be made with the music or with a story that is told) - this doesn't work when played shuffled.
Ok, didn't think on hotplug since I last tried using it with my camera I've got an kernel panic a few seconds after plugging the camera - but maybe it works meanwhile;-)
And she's going to figure out how to do this.....how??
I interpreted this discussion like there was someone who knows how to setup a linux box. This guy can prepare it very well - even better than an other system
If she wanted TurboTax or a digitial camera you'd have trouble on your hands.
To setup a digital camera isn't that hard, too. One of the most complicated things is to teach the right way of using the camera itself and plugging the camery to the USB-Port (or whatever port it ueses) then it just needs a button starting a script which mounts the camera, copys the images to a well defined location, umounts the camera and opens the file manager containing the folder. All further things she does shouldn't be much different from oter operating systems.
I have a router. Everyone I know with a net connection has some type of router. Probably because we all have more than 1 computer, but it's not uncommon.
People who use their computer more for working etc. have routers, that's true. But still I think Joe Averange, in most cases, doesn't have a router.
I really don't latency is the problem as much as it is making the technology easier to use for the average joe ( X-Lite is NOT easy to set up if you have router ).
Does Joe have a router? I think not. Ok, thanks to DSL-Lines, at least here in Germany, many people get routers, but still I don't think Joe Average has one. The greater problem is that a) Joe dosn't know about it and b) he doesn't know anybody else who uses the same VoIP system. To make use from VoIP it would imho need one big company advertising these services, but I think the ISPs do not like VoIP 'cause it creates huge amount of traffic
I haven't actually taken a look at how Slash works, but maybe it would make sense for editors to have to look through stories rejected by other editors before searching through new ones.
I think the editors reject quite many stories, so looking through theese might take very long time.
I'm not really complaining about my story not making it on the front page.
Maybe yours had to many typos, bad links or something else bad;-)
btw. If someone doesn't know: The FAQ does a good job at explaining Why didn't you post my story? and I submitted that a month ago!

how did you get this working without a (TV) Screen?

Don't forget the whole Windows System, that is required. DirectX and the application won't work without the windows base system (or maybe wine...)
Would the WWW have bacame so important if it had been commercial? I think not.
I have a router. Everyone I know with a net connection has some type of router. Probably because we all have more than 1 computer, but it's not uncommon.
People who use their computer more for working etc. have routers, that's true. But still I think Joe Averange, in most cases, doesn't have a router.
I'd say about 70% of the people that call have routers even if they only have one computer
Maybe it's just that the ones without a router have less problems. ;-)
