Why? He was a socialist, after all...what do you you think the "sozialistische" in "Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei" (what the Nazis called themselves: National Socialist German Workers Party) means?
2.5 million more people unemployed...extremely low consumer confidence...
"The receptivity of the great masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan."
Hitler would be so proud of the Democrats and their willing accomplices in the "mainstream" media for the way they keep pushing their Big Lie on the public. (The quote, if you're wondering, is from Mein Kampf.)
But the ones that do expose properties and methods via COM are easy to access, and easy to control from anywhere.
Nothing involving that demon-spawn called COM is easy. I've had to deal with COM as a consequence of needing to use DirectX to access video-capture devices, and the hoops you have to go through to do anything useful are just plain evil.
Yeah, but lynx doesn't work without a terminal [1], so you can't put it in as a cron job.
Hmm...
unset TERM
lynx -dump http://slashdot.org/
Works fine here. It doesn't work in normal (interactive) mode, but -dump and -source will work to retrieve stuff. I've used Lynx in cron jobs before without having to do anything special.
Why would you use awk and sed along with a really ugly shell script to get something done when you could have just as easily used perl to acheive the same effect?
Um...because you don't know Perl and are put off by syntax that looks one step removed from line noise? It's also an awfully large system to have to start up for a simple task...kinda like booting Windows to use calc.exe instead of just using the calculator sitting on your desk. Whatever happened to the UN*X ideal of a bunch of small tools that each do one or two jobs well, used in combination?
I can knock together a script (using sed & id3ed) fairly quickly to tag a directory full of mp3z. It gets the job done. Isn't that what really matters?
(I have a sneaking suspicion that Perl vs. BASH is becoming the new emacs vs. vi.)
Easier for people to read, but if you were dumping the results into another program/script, the raw HTML might be easier to parse. (Then again, you can just change -dump to -source to have Lynx dump raw HTML instead of formatted text, in case you don't have wget.)
Cygwin is your friend. For just one example, you can write a script that uses sed to extract information from the filenames of your mp3z and feed the results into id3ed to tack on an ID3 tag. Try doing that with a batch file.
Hopefully Spike isn't one of the ones that's affected -- it's the only channel in the list that shows anything worth watching. The rest of the stuff is pure crap.
You're saying South Park, Enterprise, JAG, and Navy NCIS are "pure crap?" I don't think so, and they're all on the listed networks. (Not that it matters to me...the ax Cox has to grind is with Disney (more specifically, ESPN), not Viacom, and I'm not a sports fan. The slow crawl during each show in the Power Block was annoying, though.)
Well who would have guessed that a tonne is 1000 kg? Are slashdot readers really that dumb that the parent post needs to be modded informative?
Given that the usual meaning of ton (note the spelling) is 2000 lbs., having a reminder when it's something different doesn't hurt. Perhaps the article should've used "metric ton" instead; that would've been more clear.
Wow, I doubted your numbers as first but they look like they're right. (1.5 tons of water ~= 1.36 m3)
Water is pretty damn heavy.
It's about 8 pounds per gallon, which adds up quickly. A glass carboy with 5 gallons of homebrew in it weighs about 50 lbs. A 55-gallon aquarium with typical amounts of water and gravel weighs in at more than a quarter-ton!
(Both figures include the weight of the container.)
A CRT will ware out in about five years. Brightness and contrast will decrease to a level which is unacceptable.
I have monitors and TVs that are considerably older than that. Yours might last longer if you didn't have the brightness & contrast cranked up to 11 all the time.
BTW, I had an HP 660C that had that problem also: If the color cartridge was dried, it refused to print from the black cartridge also. I would rather have a black-only printer I think because then problems with the color side won't drag down the black side. But, they don't sell those much anymore. @#$& Inkjets!
At work, I have a Lexmark Z22 that can run on one cartridge. Take the black cartridge out and it becomes a 3-color printer (like a DeskJet 550C and other old-school color inkjets). Take the color cartridge out and it becomes a monochrome printer. Some of their other printers might behave the same way (though the Optra Color 40 at home isn't one of them). One possible clue is if the printer ships with just the color cartridge...the Z22 was like that.
I typically recommend/setup the following bare minimum set of tools to avoid spyware, hax0rs, etc.
Firewall (I like smoothwall on an old PC)
Current anti-virus, set to auto-scan.
Spybot Search and Destroy run periodically.
You forgot to mention using Mozilla instead of IE/OE. That's already kept my parents from getting rooked at least once (a credit-card fraud operation in Korea tried to exploit the hidden-URL vulnerability by pretending to be EarthLink, but the JavaScript in their email didn't even open their page because it's disabled by default).
Ordinary users shouldn't need to jump-start a car.
Don't even try to get us to believe you've never left the lights on. (Yes, I know that newer vehicles switch the lights on/off all by themselves, but that's a fairly recent development.)
Either way, the diesel nozzle will not fit on American or Japanese made cars, as it is too big.
It's not where they're made so much as it's where they're sold. Since 1975, the EPA has required inlet restrictors on gasoline-powered cars and trucks so you can only fit an unleaded-fuel nozzle inside. Back when you could still get leaded fuel, the nozzle that dispensed it was larger...probably the same size as a diesel nozzle.
The whole world is eating sodium chloride (NaCl or table salt), its made of sodium which reacts violently with water and explodes and chlorine which is a deadly gas...
Sodium chloride's nothing, compared to the hazards posed by dihydrogen monoxide.:-)
I mean, what next? Boycott the office services companies that do the cleaning for the companies that host with people who paid protection money to the criminals? How many more levels will it take before you have to boycott yourself?
That only sounds like the Mac OS X equivalent of TotalRecorder. You could compress what it captures with FLAC, but that'll be much larger than the source file. Getting it back into AAC will entail some generational loss. QTFairUse lets you extract the original AAC data; with some additional tools (faad and mp4creator), you can recreate an.m4a file that plays in iTunes the same way as the original.m4p--no data loss, no increase in size.

You also need to talk like a pirate, lest you be mistaken for a scurvy lubber.

16 hours? I'm sure it doesn't take anywhere near that long to emerge xmltv and answer a few simple questions. (Been there, done that.)

When asked what he thought of script-kiddie culture, the real hacker replied, "I think it would be a good idea."

Two.
Didn't IBM quit building those much longer than two years ago?
The oldest PS/2, though, still isn't as old as my first Apple II (a IIe that got converted to a IIGS), which turns 20 next year...
Spoken by someone who is not familiar with the Bastard, no doubt. Then again, you're probably not worthy anyway. :-)
