Slashdot has come up with metric buttloads of different ways to block people in their never-ending arms race with the trolls lameness filter and other content-based filters, account banning, IP banning. None of it works right and can be circumvented in about 5,421,234 different ways (rough estimate), but its a start. Theyve been working on it for about three years, but... well, its still a start.
The animated ones are damned annoying, but the relatively small, static ones dont bother me at all. (Like the small, translucent one FOX uses.) These are rather useful when flipping through the channels.
But he did want to be in the directory on the next line, where he began downloading files. So, first cd there, then rm all the old Mozilla files in it, then download the new Mozilla tarball, etc.
...Dont you also need switches (-rf) before the rest of the arguments?

Whoa. You realize your cron starts up in $HOME, and if that `cd` for some reason returns an error...
Try cd/home/mozilla && rm -rf * rm will only run if cd returned successfully. In fact, you might want to link all those commands with ampersands; since each one is only relevant if the previous ran without errors.
Actually, it was 3, not 4. And heres where I found the squared-circle quote. That articles title says pi = 4? but then the article talks mostly about Indiana trying to set it to 3.
Yes, but he blocked/^wget/ which will match them all. I believe you can change your user-agent string in wget however; most Linux browsers allow you to do this (Lynx, Links, Mozilla, etc.). Or just pass your requests through a proxy like JunkBuster, which can strip out and/or change headers like the User-Agent. You can run JB on your own machine.
I guess he thinks wget is a bot because it can be made to recursively download a whole website, following all anchor tags like a bot even though it is being controlled by a human.

Um, all programs I have ever used on Mac use the same typecode for JPEGs JPEG. The creator code varies (JPEGviewer, JVWR; PictureViewer, ogle; GraphicConverter, GKON; etc.). Granted it could be done and the four-char codes dont even have to be ASCII, they can be any of the Macintoshs 8-bit charset but I cannot think of a single program that doesnt use JPEG for JPEGs. Same goes for text files and most other common filetypes. The only one that sticks out that I can think of is Mp3 and MPG3 for MP3 files; but whatever Apple uses in QuickTime is probably the right typecode.
Ive seen both.jpg and.jpe (and even.jpeg) for JPEGs on extension-using OSes. I have also seen both.txt and.asc used for the same kind of US-ASCII textfiles. And then theres.htm and.html files, and the myriad of extensions used for SSI-HTML files (.shtml,.sht,.stml,.ssi-html,...).
Maybe MIME is the right way to go; its a recognized cross-platform standard and codes are registered with some kind of central authority so we dont end up with audio/mp3 and audio/mpeg-level-3 or whatnot at the same time.
...Which the government wants to outlaw (or at neast neuter) now. I dont send any financial information over email, nor will I receive any bills over email (I either get it in hardcopy or I dont get it), and thats certainly not going to change if/when encryption is outlawed.
Both PNG and GIF are lossless. GIF has the disadvantage of being locked into eight bits (256 colors), but thats not considered lossy. Lossy means actual pixel data gets lost, not just dithered down. PNG supports up to 48 bits, I think.

Time to put the second amendment to good use before they get rid of that, too.
You can buy a SpamCop email address relatively cheaply. SpamCop filters most if not all spam out for you.

They tried to round pi up to 4, not down to 2 or 3. Something about squaring a circle I believe was in the language of the bill.

OS XI if were keeping with the theme (and ignoring that there was no decimal point in Roman Numerals).
...That article was mostly a regurgitation of the Apache announcement itself.
This might shed some light on the answer.

All email will do is replace anthrax spores with ANTHRAX~1.VBS. No, thanks.
So am I... but I really think the OSX look is far too candyish I like the OS 8/9 look (which is what I still run on my G3)) much better.
With Apple setting the standards, we would all have an Internet that looks like translucent blue candy.

That was an article from Vancouver about a woman in Ottawa. Contrary to what most Americans may think, Canada is not (yet) part of the United States.
Yep, theres a bug. That wont even compile. You forgot your int before your main().
This was first reported days before the WTC bombing.
...same here, plus I'm recompiling Perl and some modules.
