I think it is funny that the atheists, religion bashers, and all come out on these news items. I find it even more funny that instead of actually replying to the topic whether the sticker is constitutional or not, they instead reply and bash those who believe in God. The news item was about the constitutionality of the sticker. Personally I don't see how a sticker is unconsitutional. The sticker said that "Evolution is a theory, not a fact". Big deal. Evolution IS a theory.... Get a life!
You remember incorrectly... I got mine in 1997 (January), and it had 2mb then. They later upgraded it to 4, and then to 6. No everyone got the 6mb change immediately... only those that had the service for a while.
But shouldn't they simply block the ports to those idiots who cause all of the trouble. I mean they can tell who is pumping out all of the unwanted and unnecessary traffic. So block them. For those of us who don't get virii, or have these problems, we would still have everything, and for the others (mostly unsuspecting joe shmoe windows users), they wouldn't be the wiser. Problem solved.
But to just blatantly block things is ridiculous. I work for a small software company, and our ISP (Charter Media) have blocked port 135. So those of us who do not work at our main office can not get to our mail server through outlook. We are forced to read mail using exchange webmail, and if you have used it, you know how limited and annoying it is.
So, this just block the ports blindly is ludicrous!
Hmmm.... seems to me the author of the article is not very good at searching for things. Typically, you want something more specific than "apple" in your search. If I looked for apple in the library, I am sure I would find a lot of things that I am not necessarily interested in.
I couldn't agree more. why was modded as a troll? Yeah, he was passionate in his response... but a troll, i don't think so. Of course the switch over to becoming a windows free desktop is not instantaneous. Of course there will be a lot of change to take place, but i think it is a step in the right direction.
I think we should strive more for an image contrary to a bunch of whiners who complain and complain about not having this or that, who argue over desktop choices (when both really are striving to duplicate Windows), who argue over the term free, and who want everything but are not willing to pay for it. How many of you are software developers? How many of those are custom software developers? By this I mean, you don't work on a product, but rather projects, that end up going to one customer. Wanna give them your custom projects? I highly doubt it. If you do, you won't be in business long.
now, I agree that there are cases where free software can be profitable, but it is not for evryone, and by us Linux users moaning and groaning about getting something for nothing, we don't help the situation.
Software companies look at that, and say to themselves, "They are not going to pay the software, let alone support, so we are nto going to support that platform. We can make enough money supporting the mainstream platform, Windows."
This is the kind of statement that taints the integrity of the ope source community, and is a prime example of why few commercial companies support Linux.
And that requires the user to store e-mail on their workstation/laptop. And most users I know (myself included) never delete e-mail, so you have two places where you need to worry about space constraints. And you may think, "you should delete old e-mail when it is no longer of value", but if you have ever been through the ringer in a federal case where you're e-mail correspondence mattered, you would change your mind. It is always good to have that correspondence to cover your butt.
I hadn't noticed that, but a very interesting take on it, nonetheless. Add to that fact, most Disney movies are ripoffs of some other story themselves. So we have a ripoff artist being ripped off. How "ironic"!:)
Not entirely pointless.... gfx do change occassionally, and they could have the same filename, and not doing a full reload causes you to not see things correctly. Granted, it is not the norm, but reload intuitively would mean, reload, and not half-way reload.
While I do not care one whit about MS, I have to step in here, and say, for crying out loud, give it up already. If people would quite whining, and just stop using MS products, the "problem" would resolve itself. Just a thought.
Net installers suck. Yeah, they work, but I hate having to connect to the net to install software.... especially since I have dial-up. At work, where I have DSL, it is not an issue, but for me at home, it is not acceptable. I have started using Mozilla Firebird anyways... smaller, faster, and it is the direction the Mozilla team are heading anyways.
Well, I know a few folks who have been "diagnosed" with ADHD. One is a co-worker, and one is family. In neither case, do I think they have/had ADHD. In 99% of cases, I think that ADHD is diagnosed incorrectly. I think too many times in our society we try to look for a fix for everything from a drug. I am not saying that a person's chemical balance cannot be out-of-whack, but rather that many are diagnosed that way, when in fact it is not the case.
I'll give you kudos for the sarcasm. Well placed. However, I have to disagree with you on the part about taking from it whatever you want. I too have seen those who do that, but I approach things with an open mind. You really do need to check Reasons to Believe out... they have some great scientific articles. And no, it does not approach things from a young earth view. I used to hold that view, but have since changed my views.
As for Christmas, I have never held that it occurred in the winter. And I really don't care for it's commercialism either.
I have read the links you mentioned, but it has been some time ago.

Actually, this doesn't work in the latest iMovie. You have to have video attached. You can no longer just add a sounds track, and then export to aiff.

My Sony Mavica CD350 LCD is nice and snappy, and large to boot!
I got 7 of 12 :)

Because Java isn't as recent on BSD as it is on Linux.
What is eventfull about sitting on your bed?
Depends on who is sitting there beside you.
I wouldn't entirely agree.... If it is implemented right, it can be very nice. MS Outlook web-mail would not be one of those cases however.
And that requires the user to store e-mail on their workstation/laptop. And most users I know (myself included) never delete e-mail, so you have two places where you need to worry about space constraints. And you may think, "you should delete old e-mail when it is no longer of value", but if you have ever been through the ringer in a federal case where you're e-mail correspondence mattered, you would change your mind.

Actually, Apple is not the only one that does that. Seems that there is something similar with Oracle or HP-UX.
A nicer comparison would be Suse, Mac OS X Server, and Windows 2000 Advanced Server.

Yeah, that will keeo it from installing..... too bad I still HAD to download it even though I didn't want it.

Make that http://www.reasons.org as the address. Sorry about that. I got ahead of myself when I was replying.

Just a few more cents to throw in there.
