  1. Re:Opposite on Cross Skilling Across Multi-OS Platforms? · · Score: 1

    Not in the Bible. 7 is the perfect number there.

  2. Re:Opposite on Cross Skilling Across Multi-OS Platforms? · · Score: 1

    Well, since 7 is considered the perfect number, and 6 the imperfect number, and Vi is spelled with the roman numerals for "6", I would say Satan uses vi and God uses emacs.

    Those were Mac's that were bundled with an Orange Micro card. The key combination was ctrl-cmd-enter. :-D

  4. Re:just makes me wonder on GPL Violations of Miranda IM · · Score: 1

    No I seem to think that as more and more people who violate the GPL see the methods used by people to figure it out they will use these methods before releasing their software and fix those issues. Not that they would manage to completely ever hide it but it could get really difficult.

  5. Re:just makes me wonder on GPL Violations of Miranda IM · · Score: 1

    I was thinking the same thing. If WE can run strings then surely an alert developer can also, and make the necessary changes. In the cases I can think of recently (Miranda, and PearPC) the illegal commercial counterparts could have covered their tracks better with not too much more work.

    perhaps because openoffice doesn't run on os x unless you are running neo office which is buggy and plain old butt ugly, and M$ office is expensive, hence the $ in M$. ;)

    my point was not that VHS will stick around because ultrasound machines use it. :) My point is that there's a lot of infrastructure in place that will take a lot more than Best Buy only selling DVD's for people to want to replace.

    also, as someone who is leaving work early right now to go to an ultra-sound to find out the sex of my incoming baby, they will record the ultrasound for you, but only if you bring your own VHS tape.

    They used to have a screenshots page. It seems to have been pulled or I would have included it. IIRC osdir.com has screenshots of a beta release (RC3?).

    ugh! pardon my spelling a grammar in that last post, I guess I should "preview" more often eh? ;-)

    Also I just checked and technically no spams were received today they came in yesterday. So I've gotten 6 spams SINCE enabling greylisting yesterday morning.

    Just yesterday I enabled Greylisting in OpenBSD spamd, and today I got 6 spams, compared with my usual 150. (per day).

    It's easy to set up and works with your existing mail server. OUr mail server is qmail on red hat, but openbsd just ahppily redirects the legit (what it suspects might be legit rather) to the mail server. The load has dramatically decreaed on the mail server.

    Besides, I had a Bob at Comcast tell me you can't have more than one OS on a computer after I told her I had OpenBSD and windows (I lied about windows jsut to get them to troubleshoot the line it really only had OpenBSD).

  23. Re:Just needed to say this... on More Twilight Princess Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    I've never actually met anyone who hasn't like wind waker, but you hear about it a lot online. Personally I loved windwaker! I don't think I've ever played a game where the world was so large. I actually pointed my ship in one direction and sailed with the wind to the opposite corner of the "world" and it took jsut shy of 30 minutes to sail (IIRC). I was walking around picking stuff up and cleaning while this was going on I just wanted to see how long it took. :-) The Zelda does appeal to me though, but I'm a pretty big Zelda freak. I'm in the middle of four swords right now.
