Mod me redundant, but my local teleco (Ben Loman Telephone Co-Op) has been rolling out tv-over-phone lines for a year now. My area should have it before the end of January.
Since there have been groups with diametrically opposing viewpoints to really clash wrt the FCC. We need a group that opposes these censor-mad idiots of the PTC (or whatever their acronym is) otherwise all we'll have on tv are re-runs of Barney and Teletubbies.
Being a lefty myself, the only problems I had with that when growing up was with my late grandfather. He detested the idea of my being a lefty. I don't know why, either.
"Summary:
Studies of how people react to online advertisements have identified several design techniques that impact the user experience very negatively.
Advertising is an integral part of the Web user experience: people repeatedly encounter ads as they surf the Web, whether they're visiting the biggest portals, established newspapers, or tiny personal sites. Most online advertising studies have focused on how successful ads are at driving traffic to the advertiser, using simple metrics such as clickthrough rates.
Unfortunately, most studies sorely neglect the user experience of online ads. As a result, sites that accept ads know little about how the ads affect their users and the degree to which problematic advertising tricks can undermine a site's credibility. Likewise, advertisers don't know if their reputations are degraded among the vast majority of users who don't click their ads, but might well be annoyed by them.
Now, however, we have data to start addressing these questions. At my recent User Experience 2004 conference, John Boyd from Yahoo! and Christian Rohrer from eBay presented a large body of research on how users perceive online advertising. Here, I offer a few highlights from their presentation (my comments on their findings are solely my responsibility)."
Change the way you advertise (I prefer text ads myself, I'm 100% more likely to click on one of them then any sort of graphical ad) and you'll see more people clicking on ads.
The problem with that theory is he never even alludes to the word "version" when referring to "Red Hat's Linux". He is implying, and probably fully aware of what he is doing, that Red Hat is either a) the only Linux distro out there and or b) that Red Hat somehow owns the linux kernel.
As a former Debian user, I don't see what you're getting on about? What about the other available options such as cdrom support? What about ipv6 support? What about...?
Also, Debian stable is light-years behind the curve, even unstable is several releases behind. I'm not sure how far behind Gentoo stable (x86) is (they're still using the 2.7 kernel from what I can tell) but unstable (~x86) is right on up there with everyone else.
To be fair though my biggest complaint with Gentoo is the automatic patching of software. It makes it really hard to trouble-shoot something sometimes. "Is it the patch causing this or is it a bug that existed before?"
I use an eggdrop on my channel (when I can remember to start him up after a reboot from something stupid I did), logging enabled. Does this mean I can participate?
I agree to a degree. Well placed text links and text ads (such as what you can get with google adsense). I would love it if they moved from flash ads back to text only. I too would be less likely to block them. As it is I have all images from doubleclick and many other ad sites blocked, then use adblock to take it even further and am blocking flash ads.
I find that interesting because I too used to use Opera (both Win and Linux) and found it to be way too clunky. I guess though that's a matter of personal opinion.
The only places I've seen Opera are cnet, tucows and the Opera website (granted the cnet and tucows links seem to point back towards the Opera website anyways).
Still, I imagine it would be rather easy to track Opera downloads and users.
They're reporting losses in downloads, I imagine, which would be much more accurate then using server logs because of said browser spoofing. Since you can only download the official client from Opera, this is really easy to track.
Well considering all of his old estate, including his Heisman trophy (which I thought was wrong of the judge to force him to sell), was auctioned off. If that didn't get them the $33 million (which I think is hella excessive, but that's another story entirely) then too fucking bad.

I don't see why not. I use Apache2 exclusively with PHP and have never had any problems with PHP or Apache.
CUPs has real users?
I find it hard to believe that only Redhat has a distro that poses a threat. Novell/SUSE and Mandrake are both much better distro's.
Oh? Do tell.

but how come when ever I see these anti-spam showdowns, SpamAssassin is rarely, if ever, mentioned? I use it and it works very well.
Unlike Charles Van Doren, though, Ken Jennings didn't cheat and that is something to be proud of.

My bad. I meant 2.6.10.
I've been saying that for years and pretty much use that rationale as a reason to cut aid to third-world countries.
Compared to $2.5 mil, $20,700 is indeed trivial.

I'm actually running a Rifts PBeM. It's a rather small group but things are going smoothly.
200 employees for one browser? That is ridiculous and inefficient. What else does Opera make?

SSL login for yahoo is nothing new. They've had it for several years now (I've been using Yahoo ever since they took over Geocities back in the day).
Check out the Glitter Boy from Rifts, an RPG by Palladium Books. I'm pretty sure a chromed missile would reflect the laser.
That is one kick ass song!
