Corporations need to learn to write clear, concise blurbs for their packaging, so customers don't feel ripped off or mislead (and never buy their products again as a result).
They choose not to write clear for marketing purposes. The whole point is to sell more products to people who don't understand the technology. They are only bound by laws of truth in advertising (hmm... <insert witty statement here>). Basically, they can't lie about the product. They can mislead (even intentionally), but not lie.
After reading your article, you missed one major thing. Even if you have it set up for "don't load remote images" and "no Javascript", you will still get spam. When spammers send spam, they do actually check for bounces. If it bounces, they usually take you off the list. If the spam doesn't bounce, they know you're account is a good one and will keep you on the list even if they have no other feedback that you actually opened the email.
Thunderbird stores messages / folders in mbox format which is used by a bunch of other clients. Instead of moving the mail directory multiple times, move it to a place where all the mail clients you use can read/write to. I have mail clients set up on multiple machines which use the same mail directory on a remotely share/export/partition (external USB drive in my case).
In thunderbird, Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings (for each account) > Local Settings
Change that value to the share/export/partition and your mail goes with you everywhere you go.
I think the grandparent poster meant there is no Photoshop equivalent on linux what so ever. People who use Photoshop professionally actually pay for it. Free or paid, there is nothing comperable to Photoshop for linux.
I hope that this day never comes. IE makes some bad bad mistakes in the way it renders and handles pages. Unfortunately people have built their websites around that IE functionality.
Firefox/Mozilla has it's share of rednering problems as well. Opening or closing a form tag automatically adds the equivalent of two <br>. I would be more than happy if someone can correct me on this.
For those not in the know... IFR stands for Instrument Flight Rules. Used when flying in low visibility conditions like night and weather. In other words, you use your Instruments instead of external visuals.
This would require a whole lot of work on the site to make the server first parse.html rewrite alot of gif files into scripted code and inject some random text.
It's not as hard as you think. The term for inserting text inside of images is called steganography. There are plenty of apps out there for inserting "messages" into images using steg (some cost quite a bit IIRC). The purpose of steg is to hide messages inside of images (or other unlikely places). The premise for it is you don't actually know a message is there, so you don't look for it. I think google had a contest or something a few years ago where they searched the web for some steg but found nothing. Fuzzy details, etc. The HTML files could also contain steganography, but more people would actually look there than inside an image.
"She" could have steganized(?) the same image with different messages and had the server rotate them. However, I doubt this beekeeper would have the first clue about steganography, let alone want to spend a couple grand for it. YMMV.
It was Country music and "potent potables" since he doesn't drink. He is also a mormon and will be tithing some of the earnings/winnings to the Latterday Saints.
Ken is well rounded in everything except Country music and something else (can't remember). He stated this a while ago. He is one of the BYU team that selects questions for the College Bowl
Wow, this article is lacking something... content maybe? Someone who has seen the show maybe?
Note his systematic habit of moving down the categories vertically, one by one, rather than skipping around the board.
Everyone does this.

The odds are much more in your favor for hitting the DD if you answer the most questions.
Sounds like Dana Stevens watched one episode and thought she understood. 2/3rds of the article isn't even about Jeopardy! or Ken. It's really amazing these kinds of journalists can get a job.
Just wait...it won't be long before you are typing into Fluxole and transferring files with Fluxup:)
Fluxbox doesn't do widgets. The naming convnetions of prefixing G or K are the widget sets used. You can run gtk apps in flux, ice, kde, etc. Vice versa for the other widget sets if you have the libs.
When trying to teach people about computers, I think it's best to use analogies from things they have at least a partial understanding of. When it comes to CPUs like the Celerons vs P4s, I use the analogy of a Formula 1 car to a school bus. I make it quite clear both vehicles run at the same speed (top end and acceleration). Considering this, you can move more people in the bus than the F1 car. Everyone I've talked to understands this. When it comes to stuff like ports (as in TCP and UDP), I use the analogy of a house with windows and doors.
IANAL but....

I think you guys are crazy for putting a list like that together. Such blatent copyright infringment... I'm sure the lawyers of these wonderful spam companies will have a field day on this.
I realize you are trying to understand, so I pose some questions.
What language would they hear in? What accent? What grammatical structure would the sentences be in?
It's my opinion that the hallucinations are a composite of regular stimulus gained through the course of their lives. Deaf from birth people won't hear voices. Think about it.
Q: Can I see the NetStumbler source code? Is it open source? Etc...
A: NetStumbler is not open source. Indeed it contains a lot of code that was developed under Non-Disclosure Agreements, and the source cannot be released to the general public - if I do so then several teams of lawyers will show up on my doorstep.
Cut the guy some slack. He writes award winning software.
Ok, I'll bite. I probably wouldn't hire you because you have your resume in PDF format. What reason do you have for putting your resume in PDF? What is so bad about putting it in HTML? I see nothing on your resume that shows interest in any specific field of programming. As a possible employer, it's nice to see someone that has the non-monetery drive for a project. By doing a F/OSS project, it shows you're not jumping on the dot-com bandwagon looking to make a quick buck. That's OT, but here's my story and advice to everybody here:
I started off as a developer in '95 while in high school. I started my own business and made a good bit of money (1K+/month) for a HS kid. After that, I went and got a steady job making $27K "entry level" b/c the language they needed developers in I was new in. Then I left there for greener pastures and ~$50K in Houston (400 mile move for me) at the age of 19 working for a big well known linux company (who wouldn't let me run linux as my desktop and wanted to host all the sites on IIS). I left there for numerous reasons and to another job for $50 in another big city (200 miles further). There are many more jobs I've had, but that is the jist of it.
Now we fast forward to today, and I'm back to contracting. Contracting is a beautiful thing because I get to spend time doing my own thing (open source projects). I'm making a decent amount now contracting. While I was making more before, I decided to buy everything I wanted/needed and not to finance anything. What a novel concept for 90% of people. I hate the concept of credit because if you don't have the money for something, you shouldn't buy it. You also pay a lot more if you finance.
Another thing that made me so happy is the fact that I will never want a SO again. I've had them in the past, but they take way too much time and money. Add a wife and kids into the mix and you're working like a slave to keep afloat since in the culture we live in, you bring home the bacon and everyone depends on you. It's much easier if you are self-sufficient.
The main advice I have for all developers is to start an open source project. There is nothing more fulfulling (for me at least). The projects I do will never make me money, but they make me happy. The main reason I got into developing is because I didn't want to pay for software and the tools available were not what I wanted so I wrote my own.
My lifestyle and ideas will not apply to most people, but they were decisions I made and am quite happy with. Most people like having credit, a family, etc which I hope they're happy with. I OTOH don't want these limitations (if you will) put on me.

Yup, that's what "IFR" means: I Follow Roads.

Call me dense, but I don't get the joke.
but typing is still far-and-away the fastest, most accurate means of recording one's thoughts available.
Speech is faster.

That, my friend, is called phishing.
