One other nice thing (may already be in KDE3, I dunno) is the ability to change your desktop resolution and color depth via a little GUI applet ala Windows.
Telling Aunt Tilly she has to run XF86config to go from 1024x768 to 800x600 won't fly:)
The odd thing is that Yahoo gives you a choice of where you want your monthly emails sent. You can just have it sent to a spammotel address and never worry about it...
I doubt the emails are very effective anyway. I automatically delete anything that says "Yahoo Delivers" as the sender before I even open the message. At least with web page ads I presumably at least see them...
Are there any Linux clients that support multi-source downloading other than that hideous blob LimeWire?
That's my main reason for trying to get Gnucleus working under Wine:)
Speaking of which, Bartok, how'd you get it to work? Did you have to copy any native DLL's, etc? I can get Gnucleus to come up, but the search bar is missing... It's not much use without that:)
The XBox was announced in March, 2000. The Gamecube was announced in August of the same year. Both were launched in November last year. So the XBox line would have been a whopping 5 months longer:)
I think the point the writer was making is that not all AOL uses will jump on this new version. As the blurb mentioned, most of his AOL hits were from people using 5.0, even though 7.0 is available these days.
But when the players want to "run away" when they're lugging 100+ pounds of gold each
That's why my characters always used credit cards. Of course, any gain from not having to carry around cash was quickly lost once they wandered into a shop and quickly became laden with debt.
...and in doing so, give validity to the RIAA claims that downloading music is wrong and not "fair use", and that people who do so should be punished.
It's best to leave things the way that they are. He paid these kids to download music and then admitted to millions of people he did it, and wasn't punished. Obviously, if he was so brazen about it and wasn't punished, it wasn't something wrong...
The Internet could get Jeeves to represent itself.

I've been trying out XP in a VMWare box on my Celeron 450. It not zippy, but a far cry from "barely functions". About the same as KDE, actually, in the same scenario.
I don't think it's marketdroids messing things up, it's the techies. SI defines "mega" to be 10^6. Somewhere along the line, techies decided "mega" meant 2^10.
All the others are part of your *purchase* of Microsoft Windows -- not free at all.
You can install IE quite easily and legally on the oldest versions of Windows 95, which didn't come with IE in any form. You don't have to pay anything for it == free.
The point isn't gaining speed, it's gaining reliability and maintainability. Instead of one PC being your email, database, proxy, etc. server, you create a virtual machine for each one.
If you need to upgrade the kernel on your email server, you can just reboot that virtual machine and leave your database, proxy, etc. servers untouched. If a process goes wild on your database server it'll only screw with that service and not your email, proxy, etc.
From what I can see from the page, the screen sits in front of one eye. Wouldn't you have to wink to be able to see properly? That'd get real annoying real fast...
The US is a relatively small market for mobile technology, that's why. Around 20% of the world's mobile phone users are in the US. That means the other 80% are elsewhere in the world and more than likely using GSM.
When open source software is released there is no sale involved so you cannot claim something in return because you did not shell our any money to acquire it in the first place.
So you're saying Microsoft shouldn't be liable for security holes in IE or Outlook Express? After all, they're free so no money was shelled out for them.

So what, does this mean "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" is now just "Rudolph the Red"?

There's nothing in Mandrake stopping you from downloading tarballs, figuring out your dependencies, compiling, etc.

If you want to be leet with Mandrake, feel free...
Anyway, Slackware has lost it's leet status now that Gentoo is here. Slack coddles you too much by providing binaries...

Doing this would break the search bar functionality, since it uses the Netscape page to redirect you.
Of course, if you don't use the search bar (who does?), it's a good fix.
But like you said, the best fix is use Mozilla, IE, or another browser that doesn't do this.

Has IRC grown past the whole "yeah, I got xyz file, what do you have to trade for it?" thing?
n/m, didn't parse the comment properly :)
In any case, why would Palm have bought Be in the first place if they didn't have any plans for it?
Buying something and then giving it away isn't a good business plan.
Be sold all their IP to Palm. It's not theirs to open source anymore.

I didn't realize the Boy Scouts of America were so evil.
It's kinda ironic. One of the big selling points of the Tivo is that it can skip commercials.
How do they advertise this to the public? That's right, commercials.

I don't see what Hollywood is so worried about. For a DVD to be pirated, it means at least one person at some point bought a legitimate copy of it.
For the vast majority of crappy movies Hollywood puts out, one person buying a DVD copy is pretty optimistic sales prediction, DeCSS or no DeCSS.

Wow! I'd have NEVER known what it was for, seeing how obscure and undocumented it was...
