Go into your FF preferences. Select the 'Content' preferences and look at the advanced font settings. You'll see a minimum font size setting. Change this to be however big you need the font to be and behold, your problem is solved.
Once you get above 160 dpi or so, OCR does just fine. At least that's been my experience. Of course, these were scanned images. A generated image would probably be cleaner and so you might even be able to reduce the dpi even further and still get decent results.
You also can count reduced air conditioning costs during the summer since the solar panel reduces the amount of heat absorbed by the roof and conducted into the house.
Do you know of any reason why IBM can't go for SCO's backers?
I know there's been lots of speculation about IBM being able to pierce the corporate veil, and some of that speculation includes IBM being able to take this fight to SCO's backers.
Until we know what IBM knows, it's really hard to make a strong argument either way.
I don't see how SCO can be considered a success in the long-term.
Sure, it's possible that some people were scared away from Linux because of SCO's posturing, but the increased scrutiny has vetted the Linux source, improved the development process, educated the community about the pitfalls of how concepts of intellectual property are applied to software, and organized the community in beneficial ways that will outlive the SCO lawsuit.
I think that in 20 years we'll look back and see that the whole "SCO incident" was a catalyst for a lot of good things.
I'm curious why you hate python's use of indentation.
Indentation-wise, my current C code (and my C code from 10 years ago) looks no different from my Python code.
Most people I know who complain about Python's use of indentation stop complaining once they realize that it doesn't apply to line continuations within open parens, brackets, etc.
No, because it would radiate an appropriate amount of black body radiation. Eventually it would reach a steady-state where the energy absorbed was equal to the energy radiated away.
The "re-format and re-install" mantra has the effect of reducing competition because of the difficulty in auto-installing third-party software on MS-Windows
That's the most insightful thing I've read on slashdot in a while.
You must be talking about different environmentalists than the ones I see interviewed on TV. The ones I see interviewed are dangerously short-sighted or naive and offer no solutions, just religious arguments.
I guess it's something that I use frequently, but for short durations.
I pretty much use sshfs everyplace that I would have used NFS a couple of years ago. The only time I even notice it is when I'm moving large files to or from the local file system.
I've been using sshfs (which uses fuse) for some time now and haven't noticed any problem at all. Perhaps it's because I'm using it over a relatively fast network.
No, sadly, the smart man is required to use whatever tool is the corporate standard for that type of development, even though the corporate standard was created by people who don't even understand the buzzwords in it.
The lucky man is in a position to actually choose his tools for the job.

You're very welcome.
Let me get this straight. You use FF, but you still see flash advertisements?
It's like Bizarro world or something.
what about repeat offenders?

There are already recycling programs for processing old solar cells (there's a silicon shortage right now, remember?).

How big is your company and how hard was it to (a) sell management on the idea of openoffice
and (b) actually convert to openoffice?
Inquiring minds want to know.

If you consider Apple to be a hardware company...although didn't they just switch to
a 12-month release schedule?

If anything, programming interfaces in Windows is easier than on Linux
Could you please go into a little more detail what you mean with this statement?
It's my understanding that they are heavily used in industry, but not in consumer goods.
The only place I can think of that a consumer might see them is in hybrid cars as part of
the regenerative breaking system.
Supercaps or Ultracaps would, for many devices, behave as a battery that recharges in almost no time and never wears out.
I don't know how small they are these days, but I'm sure that info is out there somewhere.
Create an extension that phones home. That way, only the people who care to be counted will be counted.

No, because it would radiate an appropriate amount of black body radiation. Eventually it would reach a steady-state where the energy absorbed was equal to the energy radiated away.
If someone did that and it was provable, then there would be one hell of a class action suit.
Funniest thing I've read all day.

Thank you.
and the end result can only be a cleaner planet

Linux already has a greater market share than Mazda, Mitsubishi,
and Subaru combined. As far as I'm concerned, Linux is already
mainstream.
