I was able to get it from ftp.mozilla.org. The trouble is the link on the releases page sends you to their web server with an http:// link. Hit them on ftp://ftp.mozilla.org and you should be able to download the new release just fine.
The fact remains that there are only three ways to generate electricity that we are presently aware of where we have the capability to manage the downsides. Those are non-photovoltaic solar, wind, and nuclear.
Uh... I've never heard of USB 1.2. Can someone shed some light on this mysterious standard? Also, is it full speed, high speed, ultra-high speed or l33t speed?
Wow, that sounds pretty dumb. Every 18 months (or whatever) when you upgrade your machines, you now have to upgrade twice as many.
You're making the assumption that my company is providing upgrades every 18 months. They are not. My Windows NT box is a P2/300. It's enough to run Outlook and a web browser. Upgrading just because it's 18 months old is sheer stupidity and a waste of money when this hardware does just fine.
The second machine is a bit faster, but we have them all running Linux with OpenMosix, so that improves things a bit more to the point where we really don't need upgrades quite that often.
Personally, though it sounds odd, I had an easier time convincing my company to give every member of my team a second computer, rather than a second monitor.
So we each now have our Windows boxes for running Outlook and doing tests with IE and such, and our Linux boxes for actually doing the coding. Since the app is in Java (some server, some client), it doesn't matter much which machine it runs on. I can say that our productivity has definitely gone up quite a bit since we've gone to this setup.
Obviously all of those locations are close to the border. Given that a large percentage of Canada's population lives within 100 miles of the border, I'd say that it is, in fact, informative.
Agreed. I live near Toronto, and though I'm not enough of a fan to drive that distance, I know a few people that wouldn't mind driving ~1.5 hours to Niagara Falls (assuming short stop at customs). It's not that bad, especially if you want to take the 407ETR all the way there. As long as the border doesn't hold you up, it's a pretty decent drive. Of course, our side of the falls kicks ass!
Doesn't $0.20/Watt seem expensive to anyone else? For one, I thought electricity was measured in Kilowatt-hours or watt-hours, and right now I'm paying probably $0.06 or so per Kilowatt-hour. Can anyone explain this to me?
You're paying $0.06 per Kilowatt, per hour. The solar cells are $0.20 per Watt for the lifetime of the cells (not per hour).
Seems cheap to me, actually. Naturally the figures are all theoretical.
I was looking for an automated solution. Assume a server, where a file is uploaded by other means (be it email, ftp, HTTP POST, whatever).
I'm not talking about printing as a user action. I'm trying to automate document conversion. Assume the document is already on the machine (a headless box without X).
Now I'm curious... I've always been looking for a 'better' way to convert Word or Excel files to PDF.
Is there a way that OO can be scripted to convert a file from the command line on a headless box? (assume we're NOT running X)
Such a thing would be a lifesaver. I've been using Doc2PDF (and I've contributed to the source a bit too), but I find it annoying to need a dedicated box to run the conversion. I'd much prefer having my Linux server do this (along with everything else).
At home on my cable connection, I've tried to use X to run apps on my Linux machine at work (Windows, because I have to use the Intel Shiva VPN client or whatever the heck it's called now - it doesn't use IPSEC)
I tried it both ways - regular and with LBX, and no matter how I do it, it's *slow*. Really slow. It's probably not the bandwidth, but I suspect it's the latency that kills. Naturally VNC works fine. And of course, doing the above on the local net at work is just fine too.
I was wondering if I was doing something wrong, or if there's something I can do to optimize that connection. I'd really like to use X remotely this way, but I haven't found a way to do it that yields acceptable performance.
After this remarkably long walk on a short legal pier, having received no useful guidance whatever from either party, the Court has endeavored, primarily based upon its affection for both counsel, but also out of its own sense of morbid curiosity, to resolve what it perceived to be the legal issue presented. Despite the waste of perfectly good crayon seen in both parties' briefing (and the inexplicable odor of wet dog emanating from such) the Court believes it has satisfactorily resolved this matter. Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED.
At this juncture, Plaintiff retains, albeit seemingly to his befuddlement and/or consternation, a maritime law cause of action versus his alleged Jones Act employer, Defendant Unity Marine Corporation, Inc. However, it is well known around these parts that Unity Marine's lawyer is equally likable and has been writing crisply in ink since the second grade. Some old-timers even spin yarns of an ability to type. The Court cannot speak to the veracity of such loose talk, but out of caution, the Court suggests that Plaintiff's lovable counsel had best upgrade to a nice shiny No. 2 pencil or at least sharpen what's left of the stubs of his crayons for what remains of this heart-stopping, spine-tingling action.
In either case, the Court cautions Plaintiff's counsel not to run with a sharpened writing utensil in hand -- he could put his eye out.
i just had a neat idea what if you combined the function of the speak freely relay server, to get around the NAT issue, with bit torrent, to get around the bandwidth issue.
Don't think that'd work. Bittorrent is meant to distribute files. If you're trying to stream audio, the packets need to arrive in sequential order. With BT, the machines you're connected to send pieces of the file (whatever they have), not necessarily in any particular order that makes sense for live audio.
does that mean that they're continually exposing themselves to child pornography at will?
They are doing worse. They continually market underage (or barely of age) girls in a way that sexualizes them (and their blind followers, the pre-teen crowd). Just look at what the latest so-called pop artists are wearing nowadays. Now look at the 12-year-olds at your local school.
I charge that the RIAA is responsible for creating the image of children (the ones on TV and our own) in sexually suggestive clothing, poses and attitudes.
No, I'm not a parent. But someday I'd like to be (getting married next year).

Did you forget about hydro dams or something?

Cheaters go far in the current job market
They'd make fine Enron, Worldcom and SCO executives
Where do i sign up to put sensors in my area.
Talk to the goatse.cx guy. I'm sure he knows something about that.
Heh. I couldn't help but notice in the movie that his hair ended up being dry after that too.
How long until I can get me one of those jackets? 2015 is only 12 years away, folks!....

According to what I've read, there's been 3 injuries. I guess ALL THREE owners got hurt, prompting the recall.
100% injury rate. Not good for business.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
The new material is said to keep it special abilities at temperatures up to 150 degrees C.
So you're saying that this technology won't be of any use to AMD, right?
Oww! Oww! I'm sorry! Stop hitting me!
You think that's bad? I just discovered Knoppix last week, and I burned 10 copies of 3.2 (20030905), the last just yesterday! Arrrgh!

Anyone know the time that idiot Bloomberg tried to blame the whole thing on Canada?
Well said, Simon. You've just earned a new friend :)
What'll happen to my favourite.... Nabisco?
There'll be a WORLD SHORTAGE OF COOKIES!
1 - set up low frequency speaker thingy in some random location (preferably near/in a rich person's home or business)
2 - due to demand, start up 'ghostbuster' business in same town
3 - wait for calls to come in
4 - when called, shut off device, move to next victim's location
5 - profit!
(we were able to skip the ??? part this time!)
does that mean that they're continually exposing themselves to child pornography at will?
They are doing worse. They continually market underage (or barely of age) girls in a way that sexualizes them (and their blind followers, the pre-teen crowd). Just look at what the latest so-called pop artists are wearing nowadays. Now look at the 12-year-olds at your local school.

No, I'm not a parent. But someday I'd like to be (getting married next year).
