Ah, so that's why these people use the double extension.
Since "Hide file extension for known file types" is just about the first thing I turn off, it never occurred to me.
You'd think they'd notice a file suddenly appear *with* an extension. Wait, no they wouldn't.... what am I saying?
Comparing file sizes isn't an accurate way to identify more of the same file.... don't forget about different bitrates or different ripping software that may have added/cut a second or two from the beginning or the end.
I've seen a lot of speculation that M$ may decide to challenge the GPL.
What if they don't want to use GPL code? What if they already have? Since M$ was hacked recently, what if they're afraid someone got a look at their code and may recognize some of it being from GPL software?
Maybe I'm just too tired today, but that's just something that occurred to me.
Agreed. Also, though it may not have been very informative for experienced users, I found it made good quick reference material. I'm as web aware as the next Linux user, but I do get sick of staring at a screen after a while. I think the bottom line is this: Maximum Linux did it's part to raise Linux awareness (we all know there are people who have no clue what Linux is,) and generally speaking, it was a Good Thing.
I wouldn't worry about hydrogen liquifying.
Hydrogen boils at something to the effect of -670 degrees Celsius. I dunno what that is in Farenheit, but suffice to say that you'll change state before the hydrogen does.
My biggest worry is that these people suggesting this are right here in London, Ontario.
I knew we had some whacked out people here (especially in the east end) but apparently I had no idea to what extent!
I guess the bright side is that if they do survive re-entry, they likely won't land here;)

We'll all just run Linux on AMD or Transmeta CPU's

Oh I dunno... I find 800x600 HUGE. I'm sure I could read it from the couch on a screen that size.
Sure.... donations? :)
I wish I could only reboot every kernel upgrade... my power goes out more often than that

I've been using @Home forever, and I have NEVER used the proxy... and I've never regretted it.

Maybe then meant "pass through matter like through smoke"

Personally, I'll miss it.
I want this guy's email so I can ask him why they haven't
LOL
