More worringly, I hope these "pill-shaped" CD-ROMS are still circular! hmm.. I can't imagine something pill-shaped spinning particularly well.
Actually, anything will spin fine if it's weight is balanced and it's spinning on the balance point. You could in theory spin a hammer if you were able to get the perfect balance point on the shaft and get the spin started properly. I'm not saying it's easy, but it's not impossible.
I would much prefer to train these users to use Mozilla, but that is usually not an option. If I see they are using IE, I ask them if they get a lot of popups, when they say they do, they usually ask if there is anything that can be done about it. At that point I install the google toolbar. I like it's privacy policy and EULA, and the blocking of popup's is a much needed feature of browsers nowadays IMO.
I use Mozilla as well on all my machines, but when IE is a requirement, the google toolbar is a very small download that stops popups while I need to use it.
...Now, The New York Times (sacrifice of eldest child required) has legitimized...
Before I clicked on the link I sacrificed my eldest childing hoping to be able to read the article. but when i got there it just wanted my NYT username and password. I read through the TOS and nowhere did it say anything about Sacrifices. I demand that you pay for your false information. I need a replacement firstborn so the wife doesn't find out!
That's the spirt, I like to see people with faith in the software they use and the way they configured it!
So go on, post your IP address. Please!
Mine is 127.0.0.1 and I havn't had a breakin yet! But I did break into your computer and just to prove it, I set my password to the same password you use and copied all your files down only my machine! Feel free to connect and look around.
What does Daikatana have to do with Carmack? Just because someone who used to work at Id Software (John Romero) broke away and formed a NEW company and made a piece of crap software program means it's Carmacks fault?
At least yours doesn't say to repeat. I have to CTRL-C my shower every morning.

Nah, HTTP doesn't initiate the connections, the clients do, so presumably, those clients want that webpages to be displayed (pop-up's aside).
SMTP on the otherhand initiates the connection to send you the data, no matter if you wanted it or not.
I'd be all for an SMTP registry, but at that point it would make more sense just to make a new RFC for SMTPv2 or similar. If it ever came down to a registry there are a few things that are needed.
#1: Free or close to free for a home user. I have a mail server on my home machine that is for outgoing messages only, I've had times where my ISP's mail server has failed to deliver the messages so I use my own. my mail server isn't listening on any port other than 127.0.0.1, so there is no way someone is going to be relaying through it.
#2: A way to verify that registration data is valid. How many times will micky mouse and Donald Duck register an e-mail server just to spam for a few hours?
#3: Reliability. How does the site stay up against a DDOS? Even the root DNS servers are vulnerable to that.
The more I think of it the more I think an SMTPv2 is needed as opposed to dicking around with SMTP to get it more secure. It's the cutover that will be a bitch.
every time you bang your head you become a mass murderer?
No, but perhaps guilty of assult. IMO the reason that this is different than clipping your toenails is that when you clip your toenails you are killing.00000000000001% of the total person's cells, with no serious affect on that life. Whereas if you destroy the first few cells of an embryo, you are destroying 100% of those cells and ending the life of that being.
or would you say it's a multiple suicide?
Only if you are schizo and lose a personality.......
That's interesting. I have the exact opposite problem from your mom. I do have sound coming out, but the volume is all the way down AND muted. Any idea how to fix that?:D
All the companies know this, and revere this sacred time and let all of us get off work for it. Don't worry, it's all paid time off. Sometimes they even will allow us to use the company limo to travel down there, complete with caviar.
If you're not so lucky, turn off your monitor and ssh in from another box, or use Lilo/Grub to boot into single user mode and fix things from there.
Why not just use lilo/grub to boot into runlevel 3? Can be done just as easy as booting into runlevel 1.
I don't recommend booting into runlevel 6 from grub though, usually just confuses you. Runlevel 0 can be fun though.
Actually, you are incorrect. Since this news article has been added to the index, this one is the first in the array, making the others the second, third, etc.
This doesn't stop the attachments from going through. This only delays them. For those gotta be there now attachments you should be using something that is meant to be more reliable than SMTP anyways.
Just because themajority of people does something incorrectly doesn't mean it's suddenly the correct way to do it.
I'm wondering how I'm going to explain that to a new customer over the phone who says "I'll just email that file right now so we can go over it together".
SMTP stands for Simple MAIL transfer protocol.
FTP stands for FILE transfer protocol.
Explain this to your user. You can just tell them that to send you a file they need to goto ftp://uploads.yourdomain.com (Where you have an unreadable but uploadable directory) in internet explorer, then they just need to drag the file into the browser and IE uploads it to you.
It takes much longer than typing (I can type 70WPM, but I bet I can't write in cursive at even 15-20 WPM.) For me it's about what is more efficient. With typing I can at least know that if I hand someone a typed note they will understand it, while if I hand them a hasitly written postit I have to sit there and make sure they can understand what I wrote.
(My handwriting was terrible even before I started working on computers...)

Velcro is a swiss invention and has nothing to do with any space program.
You're wrong, as shown on the episode Mestral, velcro was given to humans by Vulcans in exchange for enough money to send a kid through college.

Damn popups! Go away! Where did you come from?
Google Toolbar stops popups and makes searching easy. I install it on all the IE machines I encounter.

No way, 14 minutes of uptime surely mean WinME.
You've seen WinME up for 14 minutes straight? Oh, you're counting boot up time...

And didn't Mozilla development take a near death-blow today with the AOL-directed layoffs?
And this undoes all the development that has already been done?
You are telling me that when you read that story you went and uninstalled mozilla because it was suddenly inferior to IE?
Wow, he'd have to have a really big matress to fit 4.3 trillion pennies under it. I hope he doesn't live on the top floor of some apartment building.
That's not an apartment building, it's his stack of pennies.
but that's a dead horse best left unbeaten.
No, I believe that's the stained spot on the ground where the dead horse has finally finished rotting away that is better off left unbeaten.
