Depending on where you're moving, you might get deals a lot better than shitty T-DSL. We pay about 50 Euros a month for a package of (non-ISDN) phone, cable TV and 2 Mbit/s cable connection, and you don't even have to buy the cable modem. It's limited to my town though, but there are several companies like this in Germany.
If you do have to get DSL, QSC is offering faster lines than the Deutsche Telekom, although I don't know how reliable they are.
Oh yes, one other thing: take everything you know about customer service and flush it. Sad, but true.
In another Slashdot discussion about GTA3 someone mentioned that the 80s station played most of the music from "Scarface" with Al Pacino. I found this pretty surprising, especially since I thought that the music had been made up, crappy as it was.:)
IIRC, the downloading part in the license is about Webstart. I've never heard that a conventionally installed JRE is able to update itself, although I would really like that feature.
I don't know if that was some kind of Mac inside joke, anyway, I recently saw a Mac in a store, and the mouse had no buttons. You had to "lean forward" on the mouse in order to click.
USB ports on the casefront are becoming more common, or you could get extension cords for machines you regularly work at.
To really be able to drop the floppy, USB sticks need to be bootable ! I read that they're working on that, but it will obviously need a while to get widely adopted. Even with faster and faster CD writers, I wouldn't want to create a CD just to get a boot "floppy".
You should fix your parser then, there's nothing inherently illegitimate about popup windows. Gaming sites for example routinely open screenshots in popups.
Annoying ? Maybe, but if that's how they want to run their site...
Mozilla (1.2.1) doesn't have a UI for disabling window.open() completely, but I'm sure you'll find something for the preferences file if you look around.
I think it was a serious blunder to draw a Roswell-style alien. But the worst thing: the message was encoded in fricken ASCII.
Until someone comes up with a good explanation why wood-fairies or earth-spirits need a form-feed character in their alphabet, my money will remain on incredibly determined teams of pranksters. There's money to be made off these things as well.
Ah, that might explain it ! There are many different dialects in Germany, some (especially in the southern parts) downright incomprehensible to the rest.:)
The way I described it would be the dialect-free version.
Or did your friends talk about foosball on New Year's Eve ?:*)
I have no idea how Americans pronounce "foosball" or "ferssbal", but as a German I can say that the "u" in "Fußball" is pronounced like the "oo" in "spook" or "hoot". I can think of no way to pronounce "er" that comes close to that. And the "b" is absolutely not pronounced like a "p".
I'm guessing that "foosball" sounds very close to the german "Fußball", except for the "a".
I sure noticed that, the point is that the lawyer's name is quite irrelevant to the story. It would have been enough to mention that a lawyer has been set loose, instead of taping this virtual "Kick Me" to him.
...and creatures who serve them ? After subtly pointing out a few things in his first article, did you notice that he mentioned name and location of Ralsky's lawyer again this time, in bold letters even ? Weird.
Weird, I did the usual install root, run as root routine, to create whatever it needs to create in its installation directory. But when I try to run it as a non-root user, nothing happens, no error message.
Any ideas ? I think I'm going back to version 1.0.1 in the meantime.
Slashdot Mirror
But that's not what Joe User gets when he types www.yahoo.com into his browser, so I doubt many people use it.
Buford's meaning was, the stick is the solution. You won't have to speak, because dead men don't ask questions.
:)
Truth.
His theoretical work laid the groundwork for students designing a pancake-tossing machine, which could one day become a feature in every home.
Or it makes it into the next edition of this.

Yes, and now you can have it too !
Anything like that for Linux ?
Interesting, Kai is also a german name.
...cheer up !
Personally, I would like to see more browsers come with a built in borkifier that you can switch on at will. And a Mr.T-inator.
I'm off to search mozdev.org...

So don't use Webstart.
...if you're using Windows 98, because .NET need MSIE 5.01 or higher, and my copy of Win98SE came with MSIE 5.00.
I was referring to the parent poster, who talked about Apple getting rid of the mouse buttons and got "funny" moderations.

From the inside or from the outside ?

I guess they're frantically looking for the prototype now ?
And would you mind answering his question ?

There's at least one Counter-Strike bot that calls you that and other things. They're still quite dumb, though.

But hey, I'm not complaining !

That didn't solve my problem unfortunately.

Given the popularity of the Honor Harrington series over all, ...
Who the hell is Honor Harrington ? No don't, I'm googling for it myself, it's just that I have never heard of him/her.
