Hey Alan, know of a way to disable comments entirely? I got sick of my MT blog and removed it after I posted an opinion on some Radiohead concert review (of all things) and I got attacked by Blog Trolls. Y'know, the idiots that gang up and spam spam spam your blog for 3 days on end.
It depends on where you are. If you live in the East Bay (SF Bay Area) but work in the South Bay, it can be a bit difficult. See, 20+ years ago, Santa Clara County voters voted down a tiny tax to pay for BART extensions. Now they're screwed. We have the 2nd worst traffic in the state (and maybe the country) - I would take the train to work if it a)didn't take 2.5 hrs each way and b)didn't cost $15/day. It's now way quicker & cheaper to own a car. I value my time, and by owning a car, I get to work in 1 hour instead of 2.5. Sad to say it, but sometimes it's hard to not have a car.
If I lived & worked in San Francisco, I'd have no car - but when you live 50 miles away, it's kind of unavoidable. And no, moving isn't an option.
If Sci Fi wins, then the floodgates for all the *other* Big Brother kooks requesting FOIA docs will be opened... Imagine the volumes of requests that would come in for John Lennon & JFK..
If they lose, they can claim "Big Brother is STILL hiding something!"
Either way, it just draws attention to themselves in a strange fashion.
..broke all KINDS of things. On my home machine, I now get 5 USB power errors that I didn't get with 10.2.6, as well as unexplained freezes & crashes. I reverted to 10.2.6 and all was well once again.
And this was 10.2.8 redeux - remember the first time that it came out, machines were breaking all over the place. (ethernet issues, IDE oddities..)
"But eradicating Windows 9x won't come easy: IDC in Framingham, Mass., estimates that by year's end, there will still be 17 million Windows 95 installations, 48 million Windows 98 users and 27 million machines still running Windows Me."
People that think "Hey, it works just fine!" - nevermind the fact that it's a gaping security hole just begging to be exploited.:P
Dunno if there is any money saved - some of us were stuck on salary when Code Red & Nimda & $HOLE_DU_JOUR was r00ting Windows servers. No overtime for us. =/
"Fortunately, I had another PC available and did a fresh install of Windows just to be safe. This time, Napster installed, launched and allowed me to sign in before crashing. The program ran more reliably after I started it up again."
Wow, he's making great progress!
Napster 2.0 is Napster in name only. Sad to say, the files you can buy are WMA files, not mp3. Bummer. Guess we can shovel this into the same pile as buymusic.com...
GREAT. See, I used to work at Netscape. Now if I apply for another job, I'm going to have the HR wingnut say "Oh, Netscape! I used to have them for my internet but I kept getting busy signals."
Thanks, AOL! This is even better than the 800 underwater stock options I was given as a "thanks" for them not laying me off. Actually, I would have come out far far ahead if they would have actually laid me off. And oh, how I tried to get laid off. Steve Case never did return my call about the missing espresso machine.. that jerk.
FilePlanet absolutely sucks. It's one of the most cluttered websites I've ever seen. More banner ads & crap than most porn sites.
BitTorrent/p2p is an *excellent* way (and legitimate way) to get game demos out. Why don't more companies announce "Hey, we've thrown this up on Kazaa too! Go get it!" instead?
INstead, we get ad-laden crap like FilePlanet/etc.
I wonder how much "identity theft" happens (or is reported) as a way to sell these additional "credit watch" services.
Notice how "freecreditreport.com" signs you up for a $70/yr service? Oh, you can cancel it within 30 days, but they know that you've done that trick before.

Geez, they make phones, hard drives, and that crazy internet fridge.
If a drive can be trashed by a Mandrake CD, lord only knows what my cooking will do to their fridge. Eek.
Microsoft? Not allowing agreements that would let 3rd party stuff onto the desktop?
Well, paint me shocked!
At least the judge is finally starting to see what the rest of us saw years ago.
Just let people that are on Death Row volunteer for a Mission to Mars. Heck, it's probably cheaper to build a spacecraft than to house them for life.
:P
It worked for Australia, didn't it?

read info for /etc/postfix/transport
:)
It's really easy
blah.com smtp:[192.168.10.25]
foo.org smtp:[192.168.10.25]
stuff like that.
Very very very easy. There are many howto documents out there, and you can even poke about on the spamassassin-talk mailing list for further info.
Or hell, ask me. I've done it quite a few times with SpamAssassin & Postfix. Works *great*
This worked for this woman. She demanded $$, and she got it.
What's going to happen when all of the *other* Indians decide that they aren't being compensated fairly and try to pull a similar stunt?
Outsourcing sucks. CEO pay is out of control. Jobs are being lost.
And how is this a good thing?
Average college tuition is up 40%
Textbook prices have gone up as well.
My paycheck, however, has most certainly *not* gone up 40%. Sad to say that average CEO compensation has gone up 17% over the past year.
No wonder people are importing books.. they can't afford to buy the stuff here!

I gave up trying to tell 14yr olds *anything* a long time ago. They think that they're because "they're the future" that we should listen. ;)
I patch as soon as I see the GLSA email! :P
:D
Then I run "emerge -u " right away.
There, obligatory Gentoo plug AND it's on topic.

Memory usage on my Windows XP box (512mb) right now:
:P
iTunes: 24mb
Mozilla: 68mb
Who's the bloated pig now?

Whoops! You made a typo. We *like* Verizon today. :)
747-400ER can carry 270,000lbs - source here :)
That must explain the plethora of late night coffee shops & tattoo parlors in downtown Sacramento. :P
;)
Elk Grove may be a bit conservative, but I dunno about the rest of the area..
(I lived downtown for many years)

Heh, I have 3 Sparc 5s..
:)
1 - CheckPoint FW-1
2 - Solaris 8 & BIND for DNS.
Solid boxes.
We all know that if this was an article about getting a Linux box onto the corporate network, this place would be full of "Yeah! Go for it!" posts. :P
