I'm running IE 5.5 on Win 2K professional... I never knew about Alt+space... it was always alt, left (to hit up the file menu or whatever and then rotate left to window menu) for me.
The old IEs were. Hit alt, and it gets you up to the File menu. Left and Right would cycle menus. They still do, except now since the menu is another toolbar, you can't access the Windows system menu in the upper left. Therefore, if I want to move the window without using the mouse, as far as I know, I'm S.O.L. Now, granted, the times when I want to do this are few and far between. I mean, a mouse makes sense for moving a window around. But it's the principle. They *destroyed* functionality they had. Just irks me.
God always existed. At some time t = t_0, He got bored of being the only thing around and said "Hm, I feel like creating humans today.... there's not much to do being omnipotent, with nothing to be omnipotent over," and lo, there was a big bang, and light was let be, and etc.
But that means He spent an infinite amount of time doing absolutely nothing?
That to me seems even more troubling. God as an apathetic slacker.
Of course, you say, He had angels and whatnot to hang out with. But by the same argument as above, He would have had to create them, and therefore there was an infinite amount of time when he was around and they weren't.
I go to Cornell University. I have one ID card that swipes *everything*. Access to dorm hall. Attendance count at mandatory lectures. Meal plan. Laundry account. Snack/soda machines. Credit card.
Some people have been asking "what 'University approved network'" in other posts. At least here, we've got an account tied to our cards called "city bucks" that lets us spend a declining balance at local off-campus restaurants, and I think a couple supermarkets too. While City Bucks is Cornell-specific, I'm sure other universities have similar things.
I think there are other accounts too, but I forget them. The point is, I'd like to know if I should complain to someone in administration.
Anyway, we have a server with the Blackboard Courseware website software on it, but that doesn't mean we've got their card system too.. but how can I tell if we do use their card swiping system? (There isn't a logo on my card that would identify it as any particular brand.)
750K GBP sounds like a great deal of money (and believe me, it is), but don't forget -- these are cars we're talking about. It's not like they're makin' two bucks a pop here. If they sell only about 2-5,000 automobiles, they've probably recouped all that cash right there. When you consider how huge Honda's market is, that's rediculously manageable.
2: The cost of joining a union is paid for by the union members not the non-union employees.
Actually, in one school district I know, the union has the power to charge up to 3/4 of union dues from the salaries of non-union teachers. So, it's either pay the dues and get union "priveleges" (a debate for another time), or pay the dues anyway.
No, but it's apathetic attitude is getting to be a pain.
Uhoh. Sounds like your computer is a teenager. This means it was built during or before 1990. It is most probably a 486 or worse. I'd suggest upgrading.
(Ironically, the "apathy" that a 486 would express when trying to run Windows 98 would fit this model too, too well.:)
If you're using Internet Explorer, you can roll your fingers onto ALT+D very quickly, and it'll send your cursor up to the address bar, with the current contents already highlighted.
Furthermore, pressing ctrl+enter will intelligently add "www." and ".com" to your current entry; so ALT+D,"amazon",CTRL+ENTER will bring you to the address bar and then take you to www.amazon.com. After a few days of practicing doing that, it becomes very fast indeed.

The Atari shirt is now classified as "vintage." Teenagers who try to look "cool" and "counter-culture" do so by rejecting modern logos such as the Nike swoosh or whatever and embrace now-obscure logos from the past (e.g., Atari, the Ninja Turtles, etc) to reaffirm to the world that progress in culture died years ago.
Wow, that sounded cynic. Sorry, I am.:) Anyway, you can readily buy atari t-shirts in "punk" clothing stores, right next to "Emo" CDs.
Has anyone here seen the Id engine code? I haven't, but I'd be interested in hearing about how well IT'S laid out, since it's usually something of an industry standard.
You can download it yourself for DOOM, Quake, and I believe Quake 2.
I'm just an amateur programmer, however I downloaded the DOOM source when it came out and poked around at it. Very clean and readable. Made a lot of sense to me. Don't know how well the newer (and much more complicated) games look.
You mean you never ran DOS 1.x on a 4.77 mhz 8088 processor?
I actually ran DOS 4.01 on a 4.77 MHz 8088 for seven years. DOS 4 and Wordperfect 5 served me from 1988 straight until I got a Pentium 90 with the then-new Windows 95.
Nowadays, a Microsoft OS upgrade requires a whole new processor and an order of magnitude more memory. Back then, they had four different major versions that'd all run just dandy on one old machine with 640Kb of RAM. (DOS 5 might've worked on it too for all I know, but I never got my hands on a copy to try.)
I found it in my closet a year or two ago. The drive's got a bad sector here or there, but it still boots. Hot damn.:)
There's something to be said from that, but I'm not quite sure what it is. Ah well.
There are plenty of legitimate "academic" uses for the network. Downloading Red Hat ISOs for example... all three of them and *poof* there goes your bandwidth for the month.
But furthermore, you must not live in Ithaca. You've got two alternatives: Cornell Resnet, and Roadrunner (Cable). No DSL. And Roadrunner's support is about as shoddy as it gets. Also, not all dorms support roadrunner.
So, no, they're "providing" (I use this term lightly, since it's not exactly a gift... we're paying a pretty penny for it) bandwidth for academic uses, but I can see several downsides to this practice.
On the other hand, it certainly won't stop us from "stealing" MP3s / whatever, because the kid down the hall with the 200 GB collection (there's always one) is always more than happy to share. In my hall alone, there are four kids with DVD collections that would rival a blockbuster store, and two more with practically every MP3 ripped since 1998.
I just dont see a new linux adopter choosing the "plain and dry" slackware over anything else.
Call me a masochist, but when I decided to run Linux, I just downloaded Slack 4 (over a 28.8!!) and installed it. Hm. Yea. I was a masochist. Ok, nothin' to see here. Move along.
Of course, I learned how to use linux *real* fast like that:)

In many companies, developers might be spread out among multiple sites which makes such "simple" communication rather meaningless. If you've ever tried to debug SQL code over the phone with someone, you'll know that the parent of your post has a good idea going.

"Shit or get off the pot," while quite an apt closing line, was misattributed. Randall was actually quoting "The Cider House Rules," by John Irving.

Better yet -- think about games.
:)
Games such as lasertag are currently restricted to specialized arenas that are capable of assisting backpack/vest units.
What sort of games are possible if you can take the computer with you into the streets without looking like a ghostbuster in the process?
Then again, a nerdy-looking guy in thick glasses running around screaming about monsters might be picked up by the cops...
By extension, 10% of your spam actually is valuable. :)

It's not for free. It's for $50 a month.
