But that is really moot when you are using AOL. Sure, you can use Mozilla instead of AOL browser for normal web surfing, but the problem is that the AOL client is still running in the background when you are using Mozilla, still creating popups Mozilla can't do a thing about.
How can that be the correct answer? Fluids from the second woman are going to be on the outside of the condom, so when you flip it for the third, you now have the second's fluids "inside" the condom. That will work to keep her from getting pregnant, but doesn't do a damn against STDs. I hope some of you guys weren't actually using this method thinking it would work.

When is Hollings up for re-election?
Who is running against him?
Doesn't matter, he will win. I know that sounds like a defeatist attitude, and well, it is. Be a liberal in this state for a few years and you will understand. I feel it, and I would say I am pretty close to middle.
My @netscape.net address gets spammed all the time because I used it for high risk activities like posting on web forums. My real pop3 address and other real pop3 accounts never get spammed.
Which is exactly the way to do it. I have two email addresses. One that I use for my friends and family, and another that I use for everything else. The everything else address gets spammed quite a bit, while the other doesn't get any. It has pretty much solved the problem with me. I check the spam address maybe once a day just in case some legit came through.
I agree, there are probably many, many users who are not linux zealots. I am one of them. But that isn't the root of the problem.
The problem comes in that the editors of slashdot *ARE* linux zealots. And because of this, anything that Microsoft does is always posted with a negative tint. Even if the original poster is trying to be objective, the editor will stick his $0.02 in, basically to rattle the cage of the other zealots on site. The icon for an MS story is Bill Gates as a borg, for crying out loud!
That was what the parent was trying to get at (I think). Editors trolling MS stories and using degrading icons aren't exactly helping improve the image of slashdot (or linux).
Maybe because you're right on the ocean, and are very close to the beaches and bars of Charleston, SC.
Not only that, but Charleston is a tourism town, as is Hilton Head. I can think of many places in SC where a tech center isn't a bad idea, but Chucktown isn't one of them.
Eh, why are you comparing SQLserver to mySQL and Postgre? mySQL and Postgre are on the level of Access. Last time I checked, I didn't notice a lot of large corportations running mySQL to hold their critical info.
Actually, thats besides the point. What does Joe Shmoe need with Apache and mySQL to begin with?
Robert Charles Wilson is very good author. His more recent works have less than thrilled me though. Chronolith is a good book, but not nearly as compelling as some of his older ones ("The Harvest", "Gypsies", "A Bridge of Years"). Those are some of his best books. I would definitely recommend checking out the Harvest if you ever have the chance.
To me, it looks like the lower half will be able to slide up to cover the graphiti area. That would make it have a pretty high "whoa" factor, but honestly I don't think it would lend itself to being very productive.
Not that I have ever been all that productive with graphiti.
Bullshit. I am looking at the many pages I have built in both Dreamweaver4 and MX, and the only time I see a div tag is where I put one so I could use some DHTML. And nested tables? Again, the only time I see nested tables are when I nested them myself.
Once again, don't blame the tool for the ignorance of the person that uses it.
Trillian only covers the problem. If I have friends on AIM and MSN, then even if I am using Trillian, I still have to sign up for two accounts. What we need is people pushing for a standard protocol, not applications that mask the problem.
Considering most tele-marketers use auto-dialers, would it be so hard to grab the definitive list of area-code/extensions that are exclusively used for cellular phones and just apply that to their dial-out lists?
Its not that hard to block out those numbers. What is probably a pain is getting those numbers to begin with. Plus, if no one raises hell, or just says "don't call me" it will never happen.
Today's day and age seems more of a rehash of everything that's already been done.
Thats because music runs in a cycle. Look back 10 years ago. Same thing as is going on here, music hit a wall, became repetitive. Then grunge came along and kick started music (also helped usher in CDs).
Now go back about 12 years...disco was waining, becoming repetitiver. And then 80s came along and started all over again (ushering tapes this time).
Now go back about 10 years before that. The Beatles to disco transition. And 10 years before that, the Elvis to Beatles. And it keeps going. You even see it in classical, though the cycles are much longer (100 - 150 years).
My theory is that we are getting ready for the next wave. Music has hit a wall, a new distribution method is bursting at the seams...I would bet that by 2005, we will be riding high on the next wave, and the RIAA will have embraced MP3s, or some variant.

Yes, but CmdrTaco is an editor of/. The definition of editor as it applies in this case is:

/. falls under "etc." It is their responsibility to ensure that the news they post is at least in the ballpark of being correct. More now than ever, because they have people PAYING to view this content. If I laid down money to see this sort of tripe, I would be pissed. Wouldn't you?
Yeah, but the early 90s comment is out of context. He says the internet will never be popular...then he realizes he is wrong, turns the company around on a dime, and now they are a dominant force concerning the internet.
So don't count them out of the linux market just yet.
I have never had this problem with moving from one Macromedia product to another. The nice thing about Macormeida is that all of their software allows you to customize keyboard shortcuts. Not only that, but the new version always includes the keyboard map for the old version.
They have also been very good about keeping their menu structure generally the same. Some things might colapse into a submenu, but they are still under the same main menu as they were before.
Since the link is broken in the article, the full phrase is:
"The low cost alternative to computers preloaded with Microsoft Windows. These PCs ship with an exciting new Linux based Operating System (OS) named Lindows. This exciting new OS delivers the stability of Linux with the ease of Windows and they include a trial membership to a library of over 1,000 software programs so they can be outfitted for any purpose whether business, home, or entertainment."
Intelligence is my anti-virus. I have been running Windows for a long time now, and have never been infected with a virus. Why? Because I am careful about what I allow to run on my computer. Linux or Windows, it doesn't matter. If you don't have some common sense, you are going to get burned.
No, his boss just admitted that he didn't know the guy was unhappy because he wasn't getting paid enough. They obviously feel that he is worth something, and are willing to pay him according to what he thinks. He probably could have gotten close to the same offer from his current employer if he had just asked.
Hate to break it to you my friend, but your average Flash navigation is small potatoes. I made a Flash navigation that slid menus around and did all kinds of crazy stuff...total file size: 9k.
That is smaller than most DHTML options. Thats smaller than an image map.
But you are forgetting that up is capped at usually less than half of what the down is. 35MB/day is no problem when you are pulling at 100+, but when you are serving at 40(what I am capped at through RR) or 15(what comcast was capped at when I was with them), 35MB is a lot of juice to push.
While this might help limit some of the RIAA music sharing woes, I don't think it will be felt nearly as much as it will in the Movie sharing and software trading that goes on. When you only have 2GB/m, a few songs, even an album isn't that big of a deal. But an entire movie...thats a different story.
