A 30-second midday ad on a nationwide cable network in about 60 million homes runs only a few thousand dollars. Probably be seen in an average of 4 million homes, roughly.
Are you kidding me?? Hell, I might pony up a few grand just to tell a bunch of people to kiss my ass on national TV. Well, as many as I could cram into 30 seconds, anyway.
What he means is breaking up the 'soffice' binary into different binaries for the different applications, much as Word and Powerpoint come and 'winword.exe' and 'powerpoint.exe'. I think.

641d startup time is down to about 12 secs on my system (Red Hat on a PIII500 with 256mb). A considerable improvement, but still kind of embarrassing I think. If you could cut that time in half by breaking out the separate apps, it would approach the acceptable range...
Miguel de Icaza [ximian.com] too has said that time is better spent on improving OpenOffice rather than working on say Gnumeric (which he wrote part of too).
I could live with that - I use both. But - I apprecitae Gnumeric's lightweight start-up time. OpenOffice is still in the tens of seconds for me, while Gnumeric starts up in a few seconds.
Maybe if they broke out the separate applications...?
I propose that we buy our own senator since Hollings [senate.gov] was bought for as little as $300,000 [opensecrets.org].
God, you are so paranoid. Everyone knows that money is simply back wages from the entertainment industry to Hollings for doing the voice of Foghorn Leghorn for all those years.
You can whine all you want about Webmasters not abiding by WWW standards and using custom extensions, but you know what? At the end of the day you still need to use IE to view their site.
Well, no, not really. I can just view their competitor's site. Which is what I do.
So I guess that as long as your business doesn't have any competitors, you don't have to worry about it.
- which is really a pretty good law, I think, since the last thing I want to see while driving down the street to my home is tampon ads in my neighbors' windows.
...but the author kind of flagged near the middle and half-heartedly over-dramatized some sections near the middle, to make it more lay-person-friendly, I think.
If you arranged the above in some special way, put a bullet in the nail loop, and
some how used the L shaped steel like an arrow and a bow, you would be able to shoot
a real amu.
Also known in 1950's and early 1960's on the streets of the USA as "zip guns". Pretty popular with the gangs back then. Basically a tube that you put a bullet in, then use the rubber band to power a makeshift firing pin.
To cap it off, play an MP3 rip of some cheesy '70's porn music that you downloaded without paying!
(That's strange when your first mod is "-1, Overrated". How can it be overrated if it hasn't been rated yet? Maybe it was done by someone who reflexively mods down anything to do with stealing music?)
Like I said - WITHOUT PAYING! Why pay when you can get music for free off the Internet? There are always new ways of doing it, the record companies and the RIAA can NEVER keep up! Kazaa, AudioGalaxy, Gnutella, IRC - if there are any impressionable youngsters reading this post: MUSIC IS FREE! Why pay when the corporations get all the money anyway? The music-maker hardly gets ANYTHING! Why slave away at Cinna-buns for three hours to pay for a half-ounce piece of plastic when that money is just going to pay for another cigar for the totally rich and greedy music company executives anyway? And so many people are doing it (especially the *cool kids*) that you'll NEVER get arrested! The days of paying fifteen bucks for a CD are as dead as the stove-pipe hat, monocle and vest-pocket watch! Everything is free, Free, FREE! Act now before they encrypt music, then you'll NEVER be able to get free music again! So hurry up and stock up NOW NOW NOW!
With 8 characters, you have over 20 million possibilities.. However, realistically memorable phrases under 8 characters is considerably less. Further, ones that fit a theme even more so..
That's why I name all of our machines using that pygmy click-language.
You can always just use whatever hostname seems logical, disable all the NetBIOS shit on the windows boxes, and then setup and internal DNS server to resolve the names.
Not always. If you're part of a global organization, you might have leeway in choosing names for your division but not in altering the network configuration.
At my last job, we had ~40 machines in the low order of a class C. We named them after the elements in the periodic table. This gave us an easy naming scheme, and also served as a last-resort DNS system, as the last digit in the machine's IP number was the atomic weight of the element. It was pretty clever.
Yeah, if you're the admin for the local chemistry geek's club. JAYsus.
I'm not sure it's a good idea to use meaningful names. You might want to change (or augment) the function your server provides, then you have to change the name if you want to remain consistent. Or, if your server provides multiple functions, what do you do?
If you're feeling playful, how about: starsky, hutch, huggybear, kotter, fonzi, richie, potsie, baretta, oscar, felix, etc.
If not: myco0001, myco0002, etc.
You can always assign aliases for functional purposes: mail, news, www, ftp, etc.
We often hear that the US is (in theory) a meritocracy: be smart, work hard, and you too can be wealthy. In practice the US is essentially a dynastic plutocracy.
Massive inheritance taxes would not only fund the treasury in a way consistent with our ideology of "merit", it would reduce the gap between rich and poor, and reduce resentment between classes. It's hard to fault a rich guy who has worked honestly to create his wealth; it's easy to dislike a guy who inherited his wealth.

"slim pickins"?
"Bub"?

Oh come on now, that should be:

If it were my neighbor, it would be douche-bags.
Pretty interesting, nonetheless.
Of course - and I got a couple points karma out of it. I thought everyone had signed up for that franchise? :-)
I've always thought that "ArsDigita" would be a great name for a proctologist's practice.

I'll bet he said: "Gimme your wallet, and make it snappy."
You learn something new every day. Just what is the purpose of "No Score +1 Bonus"? I've always ignored it.
Fascinating... interesting too that the Annette Haven movie has more integrity than People's Court.

How about this: Massive inheritance taxes.
We often hear that the US is (in theory) a meritocracy: be smart, work hard, and you too can be wealthy. In practice the US is essentially a dynastic plutocracy.
Massive inheritance taxes would not only fund the treasury in a way consistent with our ideology of "merit", it would reduce the gap between rich and poor, and reduce resentment between classes.
