Thanks going to be a big PITA with dishes, especially if you are traveling on lesser-developed roads.
Ever consider one of these for your project? There are lots more, but if you could hack one of the DISH/DirecTV dishes with Internet access that will gyroscopically keep it pointed at the bird, you might be on your way.
Chuckle. I registered hashpot.org a couple of years back. I was going to do a parody, but got about halfway done and got bored. And no, I wasn't smoking anything. I think.
Actually, I don't remember. I'll have to dig up the site again. It's here somewhere on one of these hard drives....
He's gonna kill me for this, but he has to find me first.
Hi Jonathan.
Back in the day (think Navigator 3.02 timeframe) at Netscape, the "home page" marketing team though spawning a new window would be nifty. With their PRD in hand, they turned to an engineer named Jonathan Feinstein.
Jonathan might not have been the absolute first, but he certainly created the most visible pop-up example. Back then, Netscape had well over 50% market share and the vast majority of those users still used www.netscape.com as their home page. Millions of users were baffled by this new thing. And thousands of "web-designers" copied it.
So there you go. I'll buy him a beer if I ever see him again.
That tells me he's trying to diversify his portfolio, as well as getting paid pretty fairly for a CEO of a company that once had a market cap of well over a billion.
Granted, back in "the day" Jim Barksdale (of former Netscape and FedEx fame) had a salary of 1$. *He* could afford it. Augustin may not be able to.
Unfortunately, Mozdev is either slow or unreachable a lot of the time.
When it is up and quick it is a great resource, although non-inviting from a UI point of view. That doesn't matter in the long run. Mozilla links to it, and it is often MIA.
Until it becomes consistently available, it is a poor showcase for Moz features.
If you go into this with the complete understanding that there are likely people that will eventually have a better grasp of your project (and maybe even code) than you will you'll probably not fret so much.
Of course, this is assuming your project will be interesting enough to attract smart people.
Well, when you're talking about so-called "New Economy" companies, do you include Worldcom in that mix? I started at MCI in 1984. Worked there (on and off) for over 10 years and left in '95.
How "New" is new 'sposed to be? 18 years old seems pretty seasoned to me.
No pun intended. Get your mind outta the gutter.;)
I did just do some searching and found that many people refer to the fatal exception messages in 98 as BSoD's, I don't consider them as such, since you can often recover from them.
Welllll. I've never seen a less than NT box that got a "fatal exception message" that worked properly for any significant period of time afterwards. You'd need to define the word "recover". I'll define "significant" as more than an hour without the machine dying completely or experiencing increasingly unpredictable behaviour under typical user usage.
Jeez, but I'm unpleased I have so much experience with this particular subject.

What does a press pass get one at MacWorld that a QT Stream doesn't?
Ummm. The ability to talk to people face to face? Maybe hear something official yet "off the record"? Jeez. Maybe even a chance to get out of the house for a bit?:)
Such beta software as LIMBO is not intended for use on mission critical
or production systems. Use on such systems could lead to loss of uptime,
data, money, employment, or sentience.
Not that I NEED to upgrade, but I've got a 7.2 ISO I was going to put on another non-critical box (second desktop). Should I forge ahead, and head into beta-land?

Now go play in your own sandbox, off-topic troll.

And yes, I too let it expire.

Only is your time is worth nothing to you. Keep that in mind as well.

Poof. Your 404 bookmarks are gone. Not restored though. :)
Give the wayback time machine a shot...

I don't think so. I did of course understand you were being sarcastic, didn't I?

Suffice it to say that this is indeed a repeat. An amusing one, true.

Is this a subliminal /. ad? I'm very confused.
An early UID and a quarter still won't buy me a cup of coffee. :)

Simple. The ignition. :)
I'll either got modded down for this, up or sideways but You Sir, must be schooled.
The term BSOD predates NT and its ilk by a longshot. Win 3.1 had its own variant and Win 98 has it as well.

See then, the thread is preserved. Of course the "safety car" has antilock software.
Heck, I proved that in a meeting just this morning.
Noobs.
Won't happen. Can you imagine a DMV "instructor" going along on your driving/flying test? ;)
For a company on its way out, this is still amusing....
