How do I send say, (picking a mega-artist out at random) Robbie Williams, or Five or NSync a personal cheque? Is there a website somewhere listing their personal mailing addresses ??? Or their bank account details?
Didn't think so...
You would hav to go through their record companies, or maybe, if you could track them down, their agent - who would then no doubt take a cut...
Yahoo! games is a hugely popular entertainment site, with many tens of thousands online at any one time. (As I write this, there's 15,000 people just on Yahoo! pool) then there's MSN Gaming zone which is also very very popular. Admitedly, they're not flash but still entyertainment.
Entertainment on the web is HUGE. The Web is many things to many people. To me it is a rich resource of knowledge that I use constantly at work, but when I get home I chill out and shoot some pool at yahoo, surf slashdot, read some other community hobby sites, check the news and sport, see what's on TV (usually nothing of interest!)...
The Web has many many facets and we shouldn't disparage or discourage any of it. Well, ok, maybe except X10 and doubleclick.net:)... but certainly entertainment sites have their place.
It's the PROTOCOLS that need to be standardized, not the apps. Email hasn't been standardized on one app, it's been standardized on one PROTOCOL (well, two actually) - SMTP and POP3 well, 3 there's IMAP as well - but the point is they are all well known, non-proprietry standard. The app can be anything you like as long as it understands the PROTOCOL. It's the same with browsrs - what a nightmare it would be if there were other protocols other than HTTP and HTML but all the different browsers speak it just fine, so we do and should have a choice of application. It should be the same with IM but it aint never gonna happen. The best we can do is to use Trillian or Jabber and it's ilk.
And that's different to having different windows open on different chat programs how???
I'm not sure whay this is a problem anyway, you jave to have a dfferent window for each person you're talking to on any chat program (afaik) - and actually, on Trillian, you can have all the chat windows inside a container window which you can resize/minimize as you want to. Check it out, it really does ROCK.
... and as the agent has to run as root anyway, if someone can root your box, they will also be able to install something like this. From what I read, this agent is largely cut and pasted from other tools, the control-by-protocl-11 is new but hardly eathshattering.
The source code of this is rather usless to a black-hat unless they can also root the box.
I wish I could move to the US, for one thing, programmers salaries are somwhat higher! There's a small problems though of work permits, selling our house (which is tiny and not worth very much), we also have kids in senior school, and though I despise the quality of our public eductation, my American friends here in the UK (and I know a LOT of them, we're close to a US base) all tell me that the UK schools are MUCH better than US schools.
I didn't say it mattered, I was just making the observation.
12:57PM clearly means 12:57 after midnight - that's what the PM bit is for. If PM/AM wasn't specified, I would assume it was in 24 hour format, and still mean the same time.
... and it makes sorting date fields trivial, you can use numeric comparison operators, and my log files named yyymmddhhmmss.log appear nicely sorted in an ls command.
Slashdot Mirror
Yep
For six hours a day every Friday, Saturday and Sunday through mid-August
Dunno when they started, so lets call it 6 weeks, that's 18 days, 1800 bucks.
LOL go reread his userid, actually LOOK at the letters.....
Umm I have a duel head GForce 2 card. Was cheap too. They're available.
AM = Ante Meriduim (before noon)
PM = Post Meridium (after noon)
Your argument is kinda like saying it's July 9, one hour later it's July 10.
There has to be a switch over point. in 24 hour notation, you go from 23:59 to 00:01 2 minutes later. Makes perfect sense to me.
How do I do that?

Recording tape... $8,000
WTF are they using???
Score 3 informative?
Surely Score 3 Funny...
I can't beleive anyone would seriously use that code.
What's with the browser_version var anyway? it isn't used. and all those \n's ? Totally unnecessary, it's just wasted bandwith!

Agreed it doesn't have a shape, but surely it has a feel - you can take a lump of pure silicon and hold it in your hands and feel it - surely???
You have a point, I mean, people laughed at the Wight Brothers and at John Logie-Baird and probably many other "crazy inventors"....
There's probably nothing in this, but on the other hand, tere just might be...
Nope, it's not April 1st.
Wonder if Col. Sanders is going to use his secret blend of herbs and spices on them ???
Ummm no...

Ummmmmm Trillian DOES have file transfer.....

3.33333333 is only an approximation, which is the point he was making. You cannot express 1/3 of a metre exactly as a decimal.
Shouldn't that be "-Chandon Seldon." ?
It became a verb in the same way that any language feature develops - through common usage.
(Other examples: "I grepped for it", "I hoover" my carpets" etc)
I've been using goole as a verb practically since I started using google...
Makes perfect sense to me.
No it's not, its Thursday 4 July 2002 :)

It's metric tonne and imperial ton
"And it looks like the DTDs will be free to use and distribute"
Ummmmm if you're using a validating xml parser, you HAVE to have access to the dtd!!! All DTDs have to be free to use!
See the sig. 'nuff said...
