Ever since, I've rented from someone else if I had a choice.
IF? When/How/Why would you not have a choice? You really shouldn't be supporting the MPAA, but that's another story. How could you possibly be forced to rent a DVD from Blockbuster?
My understanding is that they may only expose one thread to the user because of the license on the PalmOS (1-4) kernel. They didn't write it, and were limited by the authors. Fun, eh?
"Each weekday 30,000 cars cross Lake Pontchartrain on the longest over-water bridge in the world, The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway."
"The most familiar part of the system is the 24-mile long bridge which consists of two, 2-lane spans running parallel across Lake Pontchartrain connection Jefferson Parish on the South Shore and St. Tammany Parish on the North Shore. "
I used to be a simi-rabid opera user, but now a mildly-rabid Galeon zealot. Galeon (since 1.2.0 at least) does all of this:
tabbed browsing search boxes (smart bookmarks w/ aliases) skinnable (along with the rest of your GTK+ apps) bookmarks (this is an uber-feature ?) gestures (I love this) zoom (text only)
and has these additional features: it "really" works with N$ plugins (it is netscape) it really uses the *nix system's.mime.types it doesn't mung the fonts out of the box it's FREE GPL'd software
Best part is the chance that Gecko will get used by AOL, and even more pages will be written with standards in mind.
The choice was obvious to me, and I'm using a WinChip C6 @ 200Mhz / 96MB. Pages do load maybe a second or so slower, but the rendering and fonts are beautiful.
I think you mean this incident. I was in Canada at the time, and recall a few of the gorey details not mentioned in the AP story. Notice how it reads "from a helicopter", apparently they sent three helicopters but two had to go back because of mechanical failure. Also, I seem to recall that the choppers were really old like 20+ years, and that they didn't have enough spare parts to keep the majority of them opperational.
It's a wonder they were able to destroy the Baldwin's compound with such ease.;-)
and while you're replacing things, change "to buy cocaine" with "to manufacture nuke and you've got Robocop2.
Hmm.. maybe this is where the MPAA get's their ideas.. rehashed comic book plots..
Hello. I also recently left directvdsl because of their usenet policy (and the fact that i moved). 200megabytes/day is a joke. Their policy towards linux, personal web servers, and static ips might be missed. But the fact that i couldn't get DSL for 6-8 weeks because i had a "new" number helped. I've recently subscribed to Cox@Home because they were ready to install the evening I called (a sturday), wife wasn't (they came sunday morning at 8:30AM *ARGGH*), they offer a 30 day money back plan, no monthly contract (just like Telocity). They do use (lame) dhcp, tho my ip is static (so far), and some ports (80,25) are blocked. I use my works usenet account (bellsouth) for 80-90 percent of my usenet leeching, maybe more. Bellsouth contracts usenetnews.com/webusenet.com. They run a far better usenet service than @Home does, and I can call them in the middle of the night on their toll free number. I've even reported bugs in thier software (Twister/Cyclone). They've gone unfixed, but, fortunately I don't pay for it. I do however think that the gig/day limit of @home is reasonable.. but that external usenet traffic costs them more.
Back to Telocity (DirecTvDsl) they spent more money sending me a few issues of the TV guide than they would providing me with decent usenet service if they had a few machines running nntpcache spread out around the country (Dallas for us in New Orleans).
oh well.. I really consider myself lucky that I can get usenet from bellsouth with my username/password from work.. and that I can exceed the capacity of Bellsouth Dsl in the late evening..
err... anonymous cowards don't have cookies.. and even if they did.. the cookie tells/. *who* you are.. then/. looks up your prefs and displays stories/comments in your *chosen* time zone. My point was that you can change your display, but not mine. The comment I was replying to assumed (incorrectly) everyone used the same time zone (his). If you, on the otherhand, are too stupid to change your prefs when you travel abroad, that's a different issue.
P.S. Next time you troll at least learn how to spell "belligerent".
I'm guessing that you'd only need to make a ppp connection over the serial port to backup your data via scp/ftp/rsync/etc.. Hopefully there [are|will be] some tools to manipulate the databases similar to the pilot-link tools.
can you restore arbitrary files from within a.bz2 if part of the file becomes corrupt? i.e. if you scratch part of the cdrw are you going to lose the whole archive?
I'd personally just save the raw data so that you could just pop the cdrw in and copy over the relavent data.
Err.. How many Debian based distros are there? Lets see..
Librix(sp?) - they don't have a downloadable.iso, so I wouldn't really even call them a "distro"
Corel->Xandros - A reasonable effort at Windows mimicry. Simple install, and reasonable networking defaults. Why someone would dump any money into owning it, I don't know.
Stormix - RIP - Great install. Some nice graphical utilities. All released under the GPL. Thanks.
Progeny - Even greater install. I just clicked the mouse a few times and it was done.
So, to sum up.. aside from the vapor in the article, the distro that is already out of business, and the distro you can't download, Progeny is the only one left.
You must be very astute in matters of business and money. I am amazed that you were able to pick Progeny as the one with the most market potential. What with *ALL* those other Debian based distros out there.
Maybe you should, "Look Around!"
Now, I just hope that *ALL* the distros play nice *cough*Xandros*cough* and we don't get things like "mandrake only" packages from third party vendors.
We do agree with any arguments anyone from there would care to give for the right to register the domain, however there is no one from 2600 that can realistically justify using Ford's bandwidth against Ford's will.
Who at antionline.com can justify the use of abcnews.go.com's and akamai.com's bandwidth, in their "cocksucking" abc news spoof. Thought so. I didn't look at the other "spoofs", but i suspect they are just more of the same use of unauthorized bandwidth against the "spoofed" company's will. At least Goldstien doesn't eat with the same hole he shits. Next!

They were probably hanging out waiting for you to come along and build a parking lot.
