That's not as simple as you make it sound. Friends, family, schools, kids, jobs, money, opportunity. These things all have to be in alignment in order to simply "up and move" to a more agreeable state. If <insert southern state here> were to reinstitute segregation, do you think all the people affected or offended by this would be able to, or should be expected to, uproot their lives like that and move?
It's absurd to expect people to move from state-to-state like they are simply not stopping at BP ever again.
Yeah! No one who has ever moved to America uprooted their lives, cause that would be too hard! I mean, you should never have to do anything that might be the slightest bit troubling to fight or flee oppression.
I would want to know the length and depth of the article, and a summary of exactly what the article will cover.
So, a free 1 paragraph summary, with word count, and a depth rating (1 for glossover, 5 for deep technical dive, perhaps). No crummy misleading headlines, and it would also have to have a "reused/rehashed" rating, to determine how much is just a recap of old news. These ratings would need to be done by a 3rd party, or would need to be a summary of the article reader feedback, with no way for the news producer to manipulate them.
I also want permanent access to it, to be part of my "pool" of information that I have purchased, so I can refer to it whenever I like. Oh, and no blocking of print, or cut&paste. No funky formats or DRM, to prevent media/device shifting. A workable micropayments system also would be necessary, not some junk like paypal.
A few years ago, I was walking on the Duke campus, and one of the frats had a huge FUBAR sign up on the building. My Mom asked me if I knew what that stood for.
I said yes, and she asked me. I said "Watch Saving Private Ryan, and it will be explained." She went to the local video store, and rented a movie.
She called me later, and said the movie was interesting, but that they didn't really explain it very well. We started talking about the movie, and her version was different that I expected. Because of confusion somewhere, they had given her "Shaving Ryan's Privates" instead.
Back a few years ago, I was wandering around a flea market in a 3rd world country. This country had a US base in it that was destroyed by a natural disaster some years before. As I wandered past a stall with some ancient electronics in it, I happened to notice a new-looking KY-58 radio sitting there. For those that don't know, a KY-58 is a secure voice radio that is still in use today in some USAF aircraft. It cost about $50,000 new. Amazed by this, I asked the guy if it worked. He said "Sure, I just had it hooked up." I said, "how much?" He said, "100 US$". I said "Show me, and I'll buy it." He tried valiantly to hook it up, but the custom power plug, and the fact that it ran on 28v DC and 400 Hz AC defeated him, so I gave him $50 for it, and flew back home, and turned it in to the Air Force Office of Special Investigations. They said "Thanks", and I never got my $50 back.
I think you are right, in a sense, because IMHO, GUIs make the most experienced users go more slowly, but make less experienced (and/or) familiar with the particular OS/program, much more able to be functional, because the options are so much more clearly available.
Look at using webmin to configure BIND, vs hand-editing. I have no doubt that someone is WAY faster than me using vi/emacs to do this, but it would be nearly impossible for me to figure out how to do it (correctly), without some sort of GUI to enable minimal hand-holding.
This is right on. I could not vote for Kerry, no matter because he is essentially the same as Bush, except he lacks forthrightness (which Bush has to a fault) and the ability to deliver a clear, concise message for more than 2 days without trying to please someone else by changing it.
Christ, what a disaster of 2 candidates. I was really hoping that the Libertarian party would get 5-10% no matter who won, to shake the party powers up.
This is all very well, but will AOL let the server connect to AIM/ICQ? Microsoft to MSN? Yahoo to YM?
AFAIK, once Jabber transports being to show a little traffic, AOL boots them off, and won't allow them to connect, making these things useless, unless everyone switches to Jabber or a Jabber enabled client.
Russia withdrew from WWI, and gave the Germans a whole lot to go away. Lenin was nearly lynched for this. Russia's withdrawl from the war freed up thousands of Germans to come to the Western Front and join in a new offensive. The British and French were exhausted, and might have lost, were it not for the Americans.

For a LONG time, Tmobile has caused the Sidekick to have several crippled features. Supposedly, an update will finally allow the exporting of contacts, etc, that TMobile has been using for lock-in.
We'll see. They are all guilty, though some worse than others.
Read CIO magazine, and they were all about offshoring for the longest time, even with no numbers. All the CIOs they interview are doing it, "just so they can have an answer for the CEO/CFO when he asks." The sad thing is, most of these people have been through the first outsourcing/insourcing craze, and just don't have the sack to tell their bosses that outsourcing/offshoring costs triple what you think it will in hidden costs and lost opportunities.
I heard this from a Cisco support guy, to answer our question about why our router reloaded. He looked at the crash dump, and told me this.
I said, "Next time, just say, Shit Happens. It means the same thing, and is more honest. "

Fedora Core 2 Review

Xandros works really, really well for basic stuff. Nice and clean.
I had some trouble with sound on Mandrake 10 Offical, just made a high-pitch sqealling as soon as the daemon started on my Centrino laptop. I just installed over it as quck as I could. Nothing I did seemed to shut it up.
On my Centrino laptop, I installed FC1 (no sound), Suse 9 (no sound), and Mandrake 10 Official (continuous, high-pitched loud whine, after the sound daemon started up).
What worked perfectly? Xandros 2, which is older than almost all the others.
Not trying FC2, as that will eat my XP dual boot. Sad, really, because I used to like Red Hat. I have SUSE 9.1, so maybe I will try that next.

And everyone can just move to another vendor that wants their money enough to be less of a d-bag about it.
No HDDs, no x86 Intel processors and a keyboard should be totally detachable for those who don't want to use it.
but then I would probably forget something else.

I have a Chevy version that will probably fulfill your needs. How badly do you need it?

So once you have that ready, let me know.

No, if they fork AND add a calendar, they should call it Sunderbird.

No, I am sure it was not after Stargate. If you had ever been to NASA, you would know that this is what they ALL are listening to.

Thanks. That looks like a great program. I was looking for Windows software, but I can also use Linux stuff.
What is a good program to use to batch change all ID3 tags to match the file name, or better yet, to match the file name minus the ".mp3"?
Suggestions?
