Next, go and grab a handful of the essays and debates of the time. It shouldn't be difficult. People were debating the merits of rebellion in person and in print all over the place back then. Once you have a good number of these treatises, essays and debates, I want you to ponder whether the son of some (average) working class family today would even be able to read these at all, much less properly analyze, criticize or "think at that level". Again, I imagine you'll be rather surprised.
At work, we used the mini-itx with fanless case for branch office VPN solutions using linux + openswan (which in turn connected back to checkpoint clusters as well as other branch office openswan gateways). At home, I have a VIA chipset m/b with an Athlon 3000+ processer which has been running great for me for a few years.
Maybe you should do project management instead. That way you get to work with tech, but at a higher level where you plan and coordinate without the headaches of having to deal with people working beneath you.
PM, of course, has its own headaches, but I still prefer them to having to manage people.
There is nothing wrong with using a special (standards compliant) tag to tell the browser to render differently than normal. In addition to preventing tens of thousands of websites from breaking, there are plenty of CDs and other media containing websites written over the last 10 years. Should all these become unusable just because Microsoft updated their browser? Is adding one tag really that much trouble for you?
There *is* a problem with it. The problem is, as I understand it, that without the tag, the browser will revert to the old and broken rendering mode. It will render your *COMPLIANT* page incorrectly. The way it *SHOULD* work is if you want to do something out of spec for backwards compatibility, make *THOSE* pages have a "this page is not quite right but will render in M$'s broken browsers" tag.
Forcing you to add a tag to ensure that MSIE will render using the standard mode (which should be the *DEFAULT*) is ludicrous.
Maybe they won't make profit from MySQL directly. But being able to bundle it and support it could mean more sales of sun solutions with an integrated database vs. paying for oracle licenses. Just a thought.
Does it remove completely if I choose to uninstall, or does it leave debris behind? I guess I've thought of anything that does desktop icons as likely to leave debris that may cause problems in the future.
Next question... How much ROX do you use? I just checked, and Gentoo appears to have it as 17 packages in rox-base and 31 packages in rox-extra. (I'm using icewm, no GNOME, no KDE.)
Just the filer. I use Windowmaker as my window manager. I compile it from source rather than use any distro's packages. It's very clean that way.
It's also an easy project to contribute to. I've browsed the source a little, but never contributed to the source, although I did contribute some utility scripts that later became obsolete as that functionality was rolled into rox-filer itself (IOW, the developers do listen to the active user community, but don't do things haphazardly either...things in rox are pretty consistent, and they'll wait to implement a feature correctly rather than just throw it in in a way that does not make sense.).
Things like drag/drop of web pages work great, and make use of any external command you would like.
I don't know why OS/2 failed. Fact is that many people liked it but didn't manage to get a copy. By now, I would be very surprised to find people wanting to run OS/2 for anything other than backward compatibility or geeky curiosity. I don't think OS/2 still has much to offer on a technical front, and whatever UI benefits it had have likely been duplicated elsewhere. Of course, I could be wrong...not having seen a working OS/2 instance for years.
You might want to give rox filer a try (replacing whatever desktop/pinboard manager you currently use... I like rox with windowmaker). It's not the WPS, but it gives you a lot of flexibility, and allows you to do very cool things using just normal shell scripts.
The workplace shell is definitely probably still way ahead of everything in windows, kde, and gnome. The object model at the core makes it an amazingly flexible and extensible UI. For example, stardock had a lot of work to do to bring what they did in OS/2 to windows, since they had to write from scratch many things instead of simply extend what was already there. OS/2 had things like FTP folders, voice integration (including a version of netscape that took advantage of it), and many other interesting things...in *1994*.
Effect what you can, don't worry about the rest. When you respond, trim the distribution, quote inline, remove unnecessary quoting, etc. But be careful not to remove too much of what may be pertinent information when cropping. Also beware that some users won't understand that your answers to questions are inline, as they are conditioned to top-posting, so when I do this I just start with "Answers inline".
And what is the explanation for the huge explosion at the beginning where the head of the SoL comes flying off? Surely just breaking the statue did not cause that huge explosion?
Interesting. Hud is probably the most annoying part of the whole movie for me. "Uh, do you need help?" That's pretty much what he does the whole movie. Stand aside and be retarded. His demise was the highlight of the film for me:-)
It seemed small to be 'the' monster. I thought it was another one? *shrug*. I also didn't get why bombing the living hell out of the thing didn't hurt it. They were nailing it with heavy artillery pretty much the entire film. Sheesh.
I just got back from it. Big disappointment. Even more disappointing is the good reviews it is getting on rotten tomatoes (just checked). One review actually thought the idiot with the camera was 'funny'.
Crappy 'blair witch' camera, with an excruciatingly annoying dumbfuck running it for the entire movie. "uh, do you need help?" Jeezus.
I won't spoil the movie but anybody who was unfortunate enough to see it will know the scene in the movie where I cheered.
however, a return to fee for service medicine is a better option for all people involved. Scrap the HMOs (who are in business to make money, not provide health care), scrap the insurance companies (middle men extracting their pound of flesh) and return to a system where you pay for services rendered with insurance for catastrophic coverage.
Thank you! That has been my thought for the past several years (even as somebody who has had some pretty expensive surgeries to repair cartilege in his hip, have plates put in his leg, etc).
Remove the insurance companies, and as a 'business' charging for a service, the rates will become reasonable. That last year, while uninsured, I had to pay $75 per visit to treat a sinus infection (went back 4 times, doctor never did really help), to sit in a waiting room for 45 friggin' minutes and then get maybe 10 minutes of the doctor's time is ludicrous.
Insurance should be just that. Insurance against catastrophe. Not the only way to pay for medical services.
But just imagine how much better tuned, and how much more quickly interface bugs could be fixed if the pidgin guys could focus on just one protocol vs. a dozen. That's a good thing, IMO, even though I use pidgin for AIM as well.
Then again, everyone could have just stuck with IRC. Oh well.
I remember some scenes that I would create with PoV to sometimes take several hours for a single frame to complete. Now we're looking at doing it in real time. Amazing.
That is what they are for, and is where I went when I first learned to set up my network (dns, dhcp, ipchains later iptables, etc). The neat thing is you'll stumble across something cool that you might not have thought of before.

I blame computers.
15 minute burn time? I'd rather (and do) have these:

I have the older NiMH model. Looking forward to getting the Lithium Ion version. 680 lumens and a 5 hour burn time. Lights up the trail nicely!
Oh? *looks at his IPSO firewalls and scratches head*
I've had nothing but good luck with them. Combined with a mini-itx fanless case, these things make great appliances. Here's a great place to get them:

see subject. Even if it's a simple text-based adventure thing in basic. That's where I started, now get off my lawn!

That would be a dream come true. Screw KDE and Gnome.
No, if anything gmail contributes to the problem by masking it.

An excellent example a poster mentioned above, was that this particular prosthetic to running is as flippers would be to swimming.
