How about letting us moderate adds? If I were to subscribe (which I haven't yet...) why not let us moderate adds as well? That way we can have a say in what's targeted at us. Besides if the adds were well targeted I might not even mind leaving them up and running if I was subscribed... provided of course they weren't those huge nasty things:)
You know for a commercial product to be releasing with such a broad license is just plain cool. I don't care if I don't plan on using it, but the "Family License" giving you the ability / right to install on _all_ your home machines plus one machine at work is awesome. I wish more companies did this.
I'm a little annoyed. I was hoping for a less eventful Tuesday this week. My home server is crawling because of all the requests that it's rejecting. At least the Winbloze servers that I have to maintain aren't showing signs yet (something about being on a closed network).
Really, what's the draw to burning the music back to a disc? The great thing about these players (not that I've got one... I wan't ogg support) is that you can easily swap out a single song or multiple songs.
With burning your ripped music you may get more songs on the disc (even a small one) than a standard audio disc but you suffer audio degredation as well as a harder time of changing your playlist. The other portables have it right in this case, a memory solution is better as it's a lot easier to manipulate the current music selection.

So tell me what would be the reverse of getting depressed from lack of sufficient light? I personally get depressed and angry when I'm subjected to what would be termed "sufficient light"
Heck even my friends (yes I actually have friends that aren't abstractions on the net) jokingly refer to me as a vampire. Though I have to admit for a vampire I eat a lot of garlic *lol*
I get happier the rainier and darker it is outside, the last place I worked this really pissed of the rest of the office since they were getting depressed and I was getting happy. Glad I live in Washington State, plenty of rain for me:)
I graduated from Pacific Lutheran University just over 1.5 years ago. I was there when the dorms were moved from 9600 baud "Xyplex" connections to 10 Mb ethernet connections. In fact my roommate became the Network Admin who did all that wiring. We pushed our whole freshmen and half our sophmore years for the University to make the switch. People all over campus became jeoulous of our dorm for the second half of our sophmore year because ours was the only one to be allowed on the network in this fashion as we were the test-bed dorm. When I graduated DSL had just been introduced into our area and I made a point of finding an appartment that would have a high probability of getting it. It worked.
However, about 5 months ago I moved into a new house. You would think that the developers would have seen the want for DSL into the community coming but no, they laid lines into the community that are just outside of the distance requirement for such piss poor thin cable. My roomates and I have been fighting for our DSL connection since we moved in. We all have experienced the joy of high speed.
Actually I've had several Mac gurus tell me that there are 2 CLIs for MacOS, one is a debugging shell the other is actually a full blown CLI. However, they also tell me that they are slower than snot and should be avoided at all costs. I have no idea how to get into either CLI but they do exist.
I can see it now, just to get students to actually write their papers. The teachers are going to require them to be written by hand instead of having them typed. Of course, I don't see how that gives the students any benefit other than learning to deal with hand cramps.
Granted, it might well force schools and teachers to re-think the idea behind many of the papers that are assigned. Give it more thought and change the core assignments of the class from semmester to semmester and this might give us a better learning experience then a lot of schools are giving now.
Come on, what better way to test it than to dump it on an ftp site and let people try the distro? Even Red Hat drops their alphas/betas out there as a preliminary to actually releasing a burn.
I have to ask, does fidgeting count as an autistic type of repetitive physical activity like rocking? If so, then my self diagnosis is I'm mildly autistic:P
An iris scan, not a retina scan, so for this to work, we've got to stick our eye up against some camera, while we have a really bright light shone directly into it so that it can check our iris?
Sounds to me like that would hurt, a lot. Don't mind me, I'm just light sensitive.
Then again, what about people that have cataracts? Are they not going to be able to use those ATM's or are they still going to have to carry around a card and remember a PIN? Dear me, what's the next step to get around this, DNA scanners? Sounds like Gataga now *shiver*
Course to use a DNA scanner we'd be needing some source of DNA... they would probably want blood. There is now way that I'm walking up to a machine to get my finger pricked just so I can take money out. I'd rather carry a card and remember a PIN.
I really wonder who the fraud is in this. Last time I looked into the "Open SCO" that's available "free" you could get the license free but you had to buy the install CD. Course they said if you could get your hands on a copy then you didn't have to worry about getting CD.
They don't even give you the option to download their Unix distribution if you have obtained a license.
Sorry, but I think that Red Hat is far from being a fraud. They give you the option to download their disto, or you can go and purchase the ease of use of a CD (or you can get a friend to burn you a copy) were's the fraud?

I want to see one of these perform "I'm a little teepot" I think it would be great! :)

Yes, they have DirectX, but only v3. v6 was supposed to go in with SP5, but I could never find it anywhere.
No, you got it all wrong.
D&D is Dungeons and Dragons
DnD is Drag 'n Drop
If I remember correctly PostgreSQL can do multidimensional DBs along with relational-object DBs. For all I know MySQL can as well.
