While I believe that PS/2 hotplugging can damage controllers and such, it's not really all that common an occurrence.
In my experience, however, PS/2 hotplugging rarely works very well, with results from just plain not working until reboot to things working slower than usual until the next reboot.
If I hotplug the keyboard in my laptop, the repeat rate becomes significantly slower until reboot. I have a USB mouse, so I'm not sure how PS/2 mice behave, but I seem to remember them not being very happy.
I remember at some point in the past using that technique so that a tmp-cleaner would leave a particular directory alone. Unfortunately, I can't remember exactly how the link went.
The rest of the world is running out of things that cellphone companies can use to convince us to buy a new phone. It's stupid, but it serves as a quick easy application for marketing types.
How about reliable service and decent prices? I would get a cellphone if the rates were such that I could have two phones and service for rates comparable to a land line.
All I see cellphones doing for me is contributing to a reduction in the number of available pay phones. It seems much more difficult to find one now than it ever used to be.
Gee, sounds like someone needs to be (re-)introduced to twm. I was using settings like this about five years ago in my default twm setup. (Granted, "Mozilla" was "Netscape" then, and I don't, didn't, and have never used emacs).
Technically, the recommended installation instructions tell you to delete your profile when installing a new version. When I upgraded from 0.2 to 0.3 yesterday I didn't do that and everything worked out fine, but I wouldn't expect that to work all the time.

Phoenix 0.3 Is Out

For mail purposes, there is the Thunderbird (formerly known as Minotaur) project. According to mozilla.org, it is expected around the time of Phoenix 0.5.
As a Mozilla Mail user (on Windows), I personally can't wait to give it a try.

I'm not sure I understand. For obvious reasons, I am cautious about taking part in such an experiment, but I wanna know... just what does happen?
The only things I can think of are: 1) The accelerator will stick for a few seconds and the car will not slow down, 2) The car will speed up (?!) 3) The car will lose stability and you will go on a wild ride a la Dukes of Hazzard 4) Something else?
What exactly would happen? This isn't the sort of situation that lends itself well to a google search.
In any case, I'm sure it would make you a tentative candidate for the Darwin Awards.
Right on, fellow tweener! Only I don't think it's really that sad at all. We tweeners are a small, select group, the best of the best so to speak. Just old enough to remember almost all of the eighties, but young enough to not remember any of the seventies. That sounds just about right to me.
Virtual items wouldn't really be a problem. All you need is a flag that says "this item will be shipped via $COURIER, and eBay will interface with the tracking system once shipment has been interfaced".
Buyers will immediately know which items either (a) are not being shipped [actually, they would know that anyway], and (b) which sellers don't want to use this system. If buyers want reliable tracking of their eBay shipments, they will opt out if (b) is the case.
Of course, some people will not realize what is going on, no matter how many informational messages they receive via the eBay interface, but that's life.
They don't actually have $170 000. That was their budget for last year. The story that is linked is about their reinstatement as a corporation, and then rambles all over the map talking about money and non-profit vs. not-for-profit, and some pondering on what exactly the KDE League has done for KDE e.V.
I'm a little bit confused about why they are using such old data in a current story.
Okay, I'm still not sure, but I think that I do the "bunched r" thing. I suppose that there is some tongue movement, but I'm pretty sure that the tip doesn't come very near to the palate in the process. I also think that my lips are rounded during that sound.
It really seems to me that I make that sound mostly in my throat and secondly in the lips. The tongue does a little bit of work, but not very much. I definitely do not have a "Baba Wawa" type of accent.
FWIW, I am Canadian, from Southern Ontario.
This seems like the type of discussion that one would find on alt.usage.english, which I haven't visited in quite some time.
Slashdot Mirror
It's all about balance.
I don't know about the general Slashdot readership, but I generally think of "speed bumps" as slow downs, not improvements.
I think, in true Simpsons fashion, the headline should have read "speed holes".
I've written code that authenticates against active directory just fine. Active directory is, after all, accessible through standard LDAP protocol.
xfig?
What exactly is wrong with a Saturday release?
Little. Yellow. Different.

Actually, the article does post a link to the site. Look at the link in the "Related" box on the CNN article's page.

I think that if you held a spinning bicycle wheel by the spokes you would either get sore fingers or get dizzy really fast.

I think the poster meant to type "candles". Mmmm...sweet apple cinnamon scented ones.
Has a DTD been published for this format yet? Or does each manufacturer have their own?
Repeat after me: Apple is a hardware company.

Just make sure you know when to draw the line, or you could end up having a bad toilet experience too.

What, did you never see the episode where "Duck Dodgers In The 24 and 1/2th Century" went to Planet X?
He went there to collect Aludium Fozdex for shaving cream, as Earth's supply had run out.
Google has many links, but try this one on for size.
I tried that, but all I got was "Nothing happens." Am I doing something wrong?
