Since Star Trek you've written a great deal of sci-fi novels. Did you have a leaning towards science fiction before your career as captain of the USS Enterprise? What are your most important sci-fi influences?
They offer the 12 month deal at the local store for $80 Canadian Pesos, but what they don't tell you, is that even though you've paid for a whole year, you still need to give a credit card number before you can use it. How many 14 year-olds have a credit card? How many parents trust giving their credit card to their children? Heck, how many people are still paranoid about giving their credit card over the net? I can understand after 12 months asking for a card, but why do they need to do it up front when the person has already payed for the service?
FYI Optical mice don't work well at all on glass, mirrors and some of those '3D' or 'holograph/shiny' style mouse pads. Kindof ironic considering the Microsoft optical mouse displayed at most stores sits on a mirror.
With its 2.4 meter diameter mirror, the smallest object that the Hubble can resolve at the Moon's distance of around 400,000 kilometers is about 80 meters across. More info including cool pics here.
Get back to work Dr. Bragsalot. If you ate your degree maybe you'd realize it's flamebait because it implies Linux is unstable, lacks development tools and is unsecure.
I would have posted this piece of flamebait anonymously, but felt like rubbing it in the nose of someone who obviously posts as an anonymous coward to his own posts.
I agree 100%, but back in the day (less than 5 years ago) 80% of military forms still didn't have a digital equivalent (at least here in Canada). People would either do it on the fly using electronic typewriter (so if you made a mistake you didn't have to scrap the whole thing and start over...damn tha carbon paper) or have a script stored in the electronic typewriter. More advanced users would have a template in Word (or whatever) that would print info at the exact spacing of the form and simply feed the form through the printer. Towards the end of my tenure as a clerk you'd see people duplicating entire forms via Excel...some of them were quite elaborate. A lot of ingenuity (and my IT career!) was spawned from the dislike of carbon paper. But I bet you that even today most orderly rooms have at least one package of 8 1/2 x 14 carbon paper.
including, I kid you not, typewriters), and link it all together
Once all the dot matrix printers were replaced with laser printers, a typewriter was the only thing that would work on carbon paper. Remember carbon paper?!!!!
Get the ATI RF USB remote (available from their site). Works like a usb mouse but is a touch pad on the remote, removes line of site issues since it's RF, and is just damn plain cool.
Yeah, i used to be registered as Furtive here but lost the password years ago, thnx for reminding me I had completely forgotten. Guess I was a bigger fan that I remembered;-) At the time I thought it was a pretty cool name for a record label, and would make a handy sig. I've been using it everywhere since. The Ned's shirt i got actually has the furtive logo embroidered on the sleeve.
Hey I noticed you sig!
You're probably from Great Britain and so the Ned's Atomic Dustbin reference is very familiar to you, but over here in Canada hardly anybody knew of them. Well, anyways, an interesting piece of trivia, I was away for the summer teaching a course for the army when they came to play in my hometown of Montreal, it was my only chance to see them and I missed out, but a friend of my sister knew the opening band (Letters to Cleo) and managed to get me a T shirt and all their autographs. Funny thing is they broke up a week later! Anyeays, this all probably means nothing to you, but you've made my evening! Cheers!
A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. This may be good for garnering general acceptance, but for those of us who are looking for a complete alternative to Passport, is it really a good idea?
Yeah I've met people like that, the kind that take advantage of the uninformed. Same folks that would help sort your rookie card collection as a child.
Unless you are an extreme workhorse, I suggest a good balance of hours. I find that if you spend more than 24 hours focused on your job then your marks will suffer. But maybe you just want to skim by.

If I knew I would be able to get the video-out on my video card to work on the TV and play MAME, then I'm there in a flash!
But by using PCI the can overcome the bottleneck of older IDE setups.

Are you sure it wasn't a C64? Crap, now I'm feeling old, and I'm only in my mid twenties!
What do you use as PVR software?

Check out MAME. I'm up to about 2400 games now, highly addictive.

Just because some people exploit them doesn't mean they aren't relevent. They are still an important ingredient of HTML soup.

Dude, my overclocked Athlon whips your P4's ass!

That MS article is worth it for the picture alone!

This article has been written in OpenOffice.org 1.0.1 in SuSE 8 on the Xbox. Not what Microsoft originaly had in mind, hehe.

Awww yeah. That's the best post I've seen all day! Stick it to da man!
Does this mean 0i Oi Oi = 21?
