If you don't have Gimp, and you don't need the power of Gimp, and you run WinXP, and you're still using Paint and haven't already bought something else, try out this program.
Using IE and W2K at work. I went to www.microsoft.com and saw downloads in the menu on the right. Hovering over it, I get http://g.microsoft.com/mh_mshp/11 so I click on it and get taken to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.aspx?dis playlang=en Oh well, continuing on, I see Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 under the title popular downloads. I click on it, on the next page I click on download on the left. On the next page I get get a pop-up saying that this type of file could harm my computer if it contains malicious code. So I cancel out of it. I then read the instructions that were covered up by the pop-up saying I should have said to open it. I try it again and click open this time because the website told me to. A EULA pops up with a lot of writing crammed in a small window. After 33 page-downs and of course reading the EULA in English and French (even though I'm downloading the English version) and consulting my lawyer, I click accept. Now it says that it's going to install IE 6 web browser, Outlook Express, and Scripting support. I just wanted IE, I have Outlook 2002 and I'm scared of scripting support. Click cancel and turn off the computer.
While I'm a fan of open-source code, I do not feel it is always necessary. On the other hand, I do feel that protocols, doc types, codecs, etc. definitely should be open. (yes, there probably are some examples where they should be closed)
Overtime - I make 1.5 times as much as I do at my regular job. I work 12 hr days. If I cover a shift, it pays the same as working 18 hrs at my normal pay.
I wonder how much social expectations and a person's internal clock come into play. If it was expected that you worked 60 hours, would there be a decline after 50 hours? When you work 50 hours, subconsciously, you might be taking that as a full day of work over what's expected by society. I know when I was younger, anything or 6 was long. Now, 6 hours means I'm halfway done. Also if you adjust a person's internal clock, light, or sleep cycle, how long can you get productive work out of them. Remember how the Mars mission worked on Mars time and how people in higher lattitudes don't have the "normal" light cycle.
You might want to include a FAQ with questions like "Why is this running slower than Windows?" pertaining to the fact that it's running from a cd and not the hard drive.
Just remember they can run into problems. Computer is not set up to boot from CD. Drive won't read CD-R's. Many other problems can arise. Some of these problems should have no reflection on installed Linux, but people will associate them forever with Linux.
Also use regular CD-R's, mini ones and business card size can cause all sorts of odd problems. Some people have slot drives, or put their computers on the side, etc.

You just have to be paranoid enough. Assume the paper and printer can be tracked. Assume any purchases of this equipment whether cash or not is being tracked. Assume that store cameras are being used to monitor the purchases. Assume traffic cameras and satellites are being used to track the purchaser and everyone that contacts them.
Keep up with this train of thought. If you do get caught, hope they're corrupt and you can buy them off.
The idea of incompatibility is a horrible idea. You want to do the same thing Microsoft wants in reverse. I think most people want the freedom of choice. It's my hardware and I'll put on it whatever I want.
Also I would tell people to buy the Linux version and an OEM copy of XP if the manufacturer only gives you a restore cd, and you need/want Windows.
I have 2 Hotmail accounts, and the link system will be the only pet peeve I have left.
Pet Peeves Space - 2MB limit was only a pain for getting pictures. Attachment size - same thing with pictures. Links opening in a stupid window frame.
I have my regular Hotmail account that has NO SPAM ever. I use this for friends, family, credit cards, bills, and certain online companies. It has not been upgraded yet.
My spam account gets used for any website I don't trust. It dumps almost all spam into junk email, though I have had false positives. This account was upgraded 2 months ago.
Most major pictures never come close to worst movie ever. I've seen a lot of the "Bottom 100" and would easily throw a movie like Cool As Ice in the dvd player. Others like Battlefield Earth or House of the Dead, I wouldn't waste my time, while bad they're not the worst.
OK, 1TB/month that doesn't say much. Always look at different levels of case scenarios and work from there. I usually start with loss of building by fire and work down through limited hardware failure or data corruption.
There are several factors that determine how often you should backup. Here's just a couple of questions to answer.
How much is the data worth? How much is your time worth? If you lost a day or week of processing time. Is your work time dependent? (deadlines) If you lost the data, did you lose the data completely or just lost processing/analyzing time on the data that you can get from your clients again?
How long do you have to store the data, and have it retreivable? One month compared to several years really changes your options.
How financially responsible are you for the data?
Multiple backups(daily, weekly, monthly)(full and incremental) in multiple locations are key to a successful backups. Raid is for redundacy or performance not backups.
I saw this thread, so I checked my hotmail account stephen_b6@hotmail.com and there were no gmail invites. I wrote to Gmail, and told them what I read on Slashdot. They said I didn't get one because I have to have a friend send me one. A friend? What part of reading Slashdot didn't they understand?
Will someone send me one so I can be cool and popular?
What? Besides the obvious answer that computer parts are square.
If you look at bit-tech, (when it's up) there are fine examples of interesting case mods that are not square. How about the Y2K Bug case? (a computer shaped like a bug)

You downloaded it with a P2P app.
Legal for Linux, not for Windows.

I've seen people wire them for use with video cards or just use the video-in.

It's your pirated version of Half-Life 2 that's causing it. "My friend" had the same problem. Uninstall that and it'll run just fine.

At least start with something as bad as Barn of the Blood Llama and get worse from there. http://www.badmovies.org/movies/bloodllama/index.
Yes, this review did make me what to see it too.
Not enough feedback or information!

I Google for PDF Password Recovery, crack the password then have plenty of time to get help working on this.

Advertising in my inbox that I didn't ask for is Spam.
I find it funny that Google (and webmail in general) has gotten people to accept this as normal.
Ads relating to what I'm searching for is one thing. Ads relating to what my friend is telling me about is another.
I'd also like to apologize to bob@aol.com and bob@microsoft.com. Yes, those are the ones that I actually use.
