didn't seem to have any of the artists I was after, many searches from lycos gave plenty of siteswith the artists, but all the servers were too busy/dead
Having finally installed an mp3 player, i was hoping someone could suggest a site i could download from. The few I've tried all are too busy to get much of a response from
I think they meant that the code would go into Windows, and they could benefit from it without attributing it to SGI. They would not be sticking to the license, but who would know if no-one's allowed to see the Winslop source code
Does this remind anyone of the Simpsons episode where Bart picks the elephant as his prize? Well, he got the elephant, maybe this bloke will get the jet!:-) I want my elephantI want my Harrier
Just let the Russians do something in space the americans can't, then it'll be back to the competition, and everyone will love NASA again. Course, Russia's in a bit of a state right now, so it probably won't be happenening. I wonder if there's a launchpad in Wales....
Great idea, but no-one (or very few) who pays taxes would claim welfare, so wouldn't tick that box. The only people who would think it a good idea are the ones who need it and don't pay taxes, so welfare would cease to exist.
Whether this is a good or bad thing is left as an exercise for the reader.
I for one would love to see Borland port their tools to Linux, but if they don't (or until they do), people may like to check out RHIDE, which provides a similar thing to Borland TC. Oh yeah, Borland site is still/.'ed.
Does £30 a month cover everything? Is that the flat-fee, then I can stay connected 24/7, for no extra charge?

In many places programmers can only go so far up the ladder/pay scale. once they reach a certain point, they have to go into management if they want to increase their pay. Many (most?) geeks don't want to into management (I don't!), so have to stay at one level without pay increases. I know money isn't the only motivator, but it would be nice if programmers didn't have to become suits just to get paid more, when they should be getting more anyway.
They just don't seem to realise management is not necessarily the natural progression, I code, I like it, I want to keep doing it.
I'm not commenting on the job-hunter, I'm commenting on the agency and email-using-people in general.
It's far easier, quicker and convenient to bang out an email and send it off. A two minute job, compared with carefully composing a letter, printing it, addressing it, posting it (in an envelope, naturally:)). Email is great for flicking notes back and forth, informal messages.
However, when it comes to sending email to someone you don't know, someone you're asking for a job, whatever, take the same care as you would with a letter. Address it, sign it, use proper spelling and grammer (most email progs do have spell-checkers), punctuation. An email is the same as a letter in this respect, and people should treat it properly.
"rtf or doc" What the hell is that? They wouldn't have written you a letter like that, or even made a phone call (which can be more informal than a letter), so why create such an unprofessional image?
On a happier note, I recently used an agency and I've got a great job to go to in a couple of weeks, so they're not all bad (although I am in the UK, so it may differ in the US).
Alessandro was twisted anyway (must have been to rape). The pornography didn't twist him. He was already twsited and was then drawn towards pornography, etc.
OK, I guess I'm not stopping there. Fantasizing is bad? No way! Fantasies serve as a release. They can deal with thoughts that otherwise would preoccupy your mind when you're supposed to be thinking about something else. Without the fantasy, people would be suppressing their feeelings, bottling them up until they cannot contain them any longer - which must surely be a bad thing.
Case in point, prostitutes. Prostitutes do wonderful things for society, yet am I correct in thinking the church isn't overjoyed by them? Yet for a couple of quid (pounds), a bloke (as it generally is) is satisfied (for a while), and doesn't get overcome by his feelings of lust/natural desires that he has to rape some (almost) defenceless person (possibly a girl so young as to almost be a child)?!?!?
Anyway, I wouldn't say indulging in the fantasy is indulging in the bad thought, I would say actually going out and following/stalking/raping the TV star would be indulging (and I agree wrong).
You mention double-standards, but it seems as though the church has more of them than me!
Man, I must appear like some kind of anti-religious nut!
Then this debate must end, for I see absolutely nothing wrong with pride, and don't understand why that's a sin. If you take pride in something, then you do it well, and you feel good about yourself, whichcan only ewver be a good thing.
Also, if we assume God is better than us all (assuming Adam and Eve believed this), then why not try and be like God, it's just trying to improve yourself, which again, can only be a good thing.
Confession just serves to make people feel guilty, that's all, when "impure thoughts" are just natural thoughts.
Also, the Vatican make loads of cash from gun-running (cheap shot, feel free to ignore it)
What is sinning anyway? According to the Church, thr original sin is SEX. Therefore condemning the entire population (except geeks (it's a joke, no flames);) to a life os sinning and therefore feeling guilty, going to church for confession and placing even MORE money into the fund for the church roof. Regardlesss that people with next to no cash give it to the church, while the Vatican (with the largest collection of porn in the world, and also the most vocal against it, go figure) has LOADS of cash. Maybe people shouldn't be so easily taken in so as to give money to the church, but the church with all its claims of caring shouldn't be so eager to take.
Why the hell would we want a patron saint of the internet? The church is trying to embrace modern technology, when it can't get rid of it's old, out-of-date, nonsensical values.
90's? try the 1900's first, then work up to the 90's.
Honestly, a patron saint of the internet? OK, and the point of this is what exactly? _______________________ All Bibles are man-made
I really hate to start on this note, but is there a reason why they're teaming up with RedHat, apart from the fact that other people are, well-known, etc? I don't have any problems with RedHat, I hate all the bitching and bashing that goes on.
But is there really anything so hideously wrong with the other distros?
I'm sorry about this, I don't want this thread to descend into RedHat bashing.

Swansea, Wales. Also check out Alan's diary. Not quite as funny though

Seems to that if they can't find the bugs themselves they should do the decent thing and not release it :-)

Joy and love, so long as you do *exactly* as the church think you should.
I think the question is better as why? What purpose will it serve?
1.1 BILLION? Yeah, so, lots of people use M$ Windoze, doesn't mean it's a good thing, just mean they've been brainwashed.
Anyway, this is the wrong place for a spiritual debate.
