  1. Re:How about 2^26? on Firefox nears 50 Million Downloads · · Score: 1

    If you had to Google for 2^26, does that make you more of a nerd, or less of a nerd?

  2. Re:no AND needed on Google's Technology Explored · · Score: 1

    But they have publicly implemented a search operator that searches for a given term or any of its synonyms. So even if the word doesn't appear on the page, if the page includes a related word, you get the result. Just prefix a word with a tilde.

    I envision fewer Gentoo users.

  4. Re:Well it's evident... on Gmail Commentary and Responses · · Score: 1

    Google allows attachments up to 10MB right now. I doubt that they would block attachments completely, unless they come up with something to replace it, because a lot of people rely on sending Microsoft Office files, especially in the business world.

    What happens when we forget how to drive a stick-shift? Oh wait, most young people have, and it's not a big issue.

    More importantly, if you were new to the Internet and you wanted to find something online, wouldn't your first reaction be to click on the "Internet search" button that might be integrated into your Microsoft OS?

  7. Re:Any Web Hosts support Jabber? on Jabber Gathers Steam In Australia · · Score: 1

    DreamHost gives every account its own Jabber server for every plan. You can find more information about their Jabber support in their knowledge base.

    ...it's how you use it. ;-)

    Fire and the wheel are examples of patents. This article refers to copyright law, which is pretty much just on literary and artistic works.

    But then since spam is the reason anti-spam tools exist, it's fair to say spam is the root cause of the problem!
    So it's God's fault...

    The MPAA and RIAA have even managed to brainwash people like you into associating MP3's with copyright infringement, where in fact they are simply an audio compression format.
    And the U.S. justice system has even managed to brainwash people like you into associating guns with death, where in fact they are simply a method of shooting people.
  13. Re:Distros come and go all the time... on Which Desktop Distro Will Die First? · · Score: 0

    How about everybody puts $20 on their prediction for the first distro to die, and the first one that dies gets all of the money from the losers so they aren't dead anymore.

  14. Re:Discoveries? on Purchase Your Personal Gene Map · · Score: 0

    What happens if someone has inspiration by looking at your face and makes millions of dollars? Is that your money?

  15. Re:Compare and contrast on Gaim For Windows · · Score: 0

    Back in the day, before Jabber existed, I downloaded MSN Messenger because I was in an online group and we wanted something to communicate on. I thought it was pretty cool, but I didn't know a single person (by your definition) who used MSN. So I showed all of my friends how awesome this new instant messaging thing was, and they all started using it.

    MSN (and AIM and ICQ, etc) was pretty useless until people started referring other people to it. That's what we should be doing with Jabber, not just complaining how few people use it, but getting people to use it.

    Yes! Definately Jabber!

  19. I got it too on Microsoft Instant Messenger Virus Sweeps Net · · Score: 1

    I got this URL from a friend, so of course, I opened it in Opera, and when nothing happened, I thought...

    "Just like every other site that was written with only IE in mind, I had better open this in IE so I can see what it really is."

  20. Re:Let's get things straight on KaZaa Ignores Court Order to Shut Down · · Score: 1

    Most users don't even know KaZaA is running. They just see an icon in the taskbar on startup, and think its supposed to be there. They get annoyed at random popup windows, but have no idea where they are coming from.

  21. Re:didledididee...two kernels on Linux Kernel 2.5.1 is Out · · Score: 1

    yeah, i do it whenever i compile a new kernel, in case the new kernel does not work and i have to revert to my last one.

    just compile each one of them as separate images, like /vmlinuz24 and /vmlinuz25, and options to LILO for each one of them, then run lilo.

  22. Re:color on Single-Photon LED: Key To Uncrackable Encryption? · · Score: 1

    It shouldn't have a color. The color of light is determined on its wave length, and if there's only one photon, it wouldn't have a wave length. That's like asking what the color of an electron is: there is none because it cannot reflect light (photons).
