I'm in a situation where I don't have local mail delivery, and I have certain hours I can pick up my mail. My work hours and drive time for work make it so i can ONLY get my mail on saturdays, by going to the post office. I need to make sure this won't effect me greatly, otherwise I am going to be in a TON of trouble when it comes to my bills.
I promote the stuff I use simply because if people DONT use it, the developers arent going to fix stuff and put new features forward.
It doesnt matter if I find application is XYZ and its 100% perfect, if there are only 12 users worldwide, and theres only 1 guy whose working on fixes/developement of it.
I regularly watch where my nickname, full name, parents names, etc come up in google. I've noticed in the past couple of months, my hits have DRASTICALLY reduced. They just disapeared from the database. But over the past 2 days, I've gotten notifications (thanks google alerts) about new pages being indexed and voila! They come up in a search again.
One time when I came home from work, there was a PC by the dumpster at our apartment complex. I brought it in to harvest it for parts (never can have enough screws), and i decided to boot it up first to see what it was. Low end pentium, like a 75mhz. 8megs of ram. Ran DOS and Win 3.11.
Turned out the machine used to be a Kiosk machine at a deli counter at a local grocery store. There wasnt TOO much of interest on it, but there was a huge list of peoples meat and cheese orders.
Just word it correctly. Dont use pictures of it, and never put the word OEM in the auction. Just say you bought your computer and the software at the same time, but you never used it, yada yada yada.
It seems they mostly search for the words OEM. If people are worried, they'll usually pick up on it and send you and email asking "is this OEM..." etc etc.
My only recommendations would be to make sure it isnt hardware bound, that it will install on a system other than what yours is (example: installs that check your bios to make sure thats being installed on the machine it was sent for), and to offer full money back guarantee (minus shipping of course) in case something DOES go wrong, and the person isnt 100% pleased.
oi. yeah, definitely understandable. thats a parkinglot now. im up closer to arlington now.... about a mile from "the city", but a nice place. im like halfway between the city and the farmlands.
do yours sort? I've tried numerous times to get them to sort, on two different linux boxen, and one windows 2000 box. No choices actually makes the bookmarks go in any thing close to "order"
... would be access to the rejected bin. i pay $5 a month for full access to totalfark, and its worth it there. give access to the reject bin here, and you may well get more subscribers.
When you turn off the marketting preferences, it turns off forwarding/pop3. it doesnt go into effect perm until April 24th. But you NEED to have the "yahoo delivers" stuff under your mail options set to "send me crap"
my parents have my old 286 squirreled away in waht used to be my room for just such an occassion. they have around 200+ 5 1/4" floppies, but nothing else to use them on.
Yeah, i didnt either. I was at the booth with them talking about it. The girl i listened to obviously didnt want people to know. She was touting 6.0 saying how great it would be, handing out the cds for 5.2. When asked when 6.0 would be out, she talked for a bit then (under her breath) muttered it would be available for "a small fee". Once those words passed her lips, about 3/4 of the people listening to her just walked away.
I know how you feel. When i was tossing around ideas on what to upgrade to, i was jumping between the s320 clie and a handera 330. The old palm IIIe was a bit outdated, and i needed more than 2megs of space.
Handera's virtual graffiti was what almost won me over. That is DAMNED impressive, and i can say that in all the achievements that these new models have been coming out with, the retractable gf area is the most appealing.
I decided to go with the S320 though. The memory stick was very appealing to me, and with sony's promises for a memorystick camera and gps, i decided it was worth the investment. however, now those are only going to be available for the 600/700 models, i feel i may have made the wrong choice. too late now.
I wanted to get a handheld that was different than the typical palms and handsprings. To me, 2001 showed no vast improvements to the handhelds of those two product lines. More memory, and better color screens. Whoopie. Palm found it necessary to flood the market with very similar handhelds... m100, m105, m125, m500... only big difference is the memory and the availability of a memory slot. There was no single new improvement that REALLY made it worth upgrading this past year.
For the most part, unless you drop or sit on your handheld, theres no real need to upgrade. PalmOS based systems do the same stuff. OS changes arent significant enough to make it worth buying a handheld just for the upgrade. If you've got a memory expansion slot, then theres virtually no reason to upgrade. Need more memory? pop in a bigger memorystick or compact flash and sell the old one on ebay. There are numerous applications now that let you run your apps right off these expansion cards, so thats not even a drawback now.
I honestly feel that palm has to slow down and focus more on what they're putitng into their products to make them stand out and be different. Achievements that set them apart from the other PalmOS models, and from their own previous product line. Just adding more memory is not enough for me to dump my current unit and upgrade.
I started when slackware came out, and i dicked around with it for a few years. came into college with an IT major, and a few years of linux experience to back me up. we had to do some stupid 'lab' where we made a resume with microsoft word. i just copied mine from my machine at home and printed it and handed it in. apparently it worked its way to the academic computing department. their admin was graduating at the end of the year, so they picked me up to manage the school's academic webserver (not bad for a freshman). i did that for 4 years. when it came time to get a job 'in the real world', i contacted the guy who was the previous admin at the school before i took his job. he was at IBM doing aix sys admin and handed my resume to his boss. they snapped me up in November, 6 months before my time at college was up. I came in with no AIX experience at all, but by having 5-6+ish years of linux experience, with 4 years of adminning/webmaster experience, it looked damned good. ive been there since May 30th, and i seem to be well ahead of a few folks who were there before me.
God i hope not... i started with slack, and Im still using it now. Its been over 5 years i think... It may not be the easiest installation, but you learn from using and installing slack.
I came to the conclusion years ago that emailing representatives (or just about anyone in government) seems to be pretty much worthless. You have to take into account how many emails they get on a daily basis. No one can read that much; thats why they have staffers. I would guess that only a small fraction actually GETS to your representative.
The best way to elicit a response is to drop your concerns in an actual piece of mail and send them. Send them priority if you're in a rush. Send them in a brightly color envelope to grab attention if they're in a pile with other mail. But you've got a better chance of your concerns being heard if you put your concerns in a letter and actually mail it.
Only once have I ever heard back heard back from a rep when it came to email. (that was senator Dodd from CT when I voiced my concerns about echelon. i got a nice reply back, in the mail. not a generic response, but a rather lengthy reply.) Ive sent mail to the gov't through the postal system a number of times, and usually have gotten a reply back.

I installed it on a fresh xeon 2.6ghz and I was abhorred at the slowdown. FC2 was a LOT faster than this is.
I'm not talking of booting into X and doing things in there. I'm talking just getting to a login prompt and attempting to sign on.
I'll go back to slackware before I load FC3 again

For this, go into IE. Tools/Internet Options. Connections tab, Then "Setup" to go through the wizard.
"I want to set up my Internet connection manually.."
"I connect through a LAN"
This'll make it look for a network card and not the modem. no more "wanna dial out?" windows.
Im just saying that I'd rather compile from scratch than download a new package.
which unfortunately wreaks havoc with Slackware, since half the stuff isnt installed in the default place!
Real linux users don't use packages.
We roll our own!

I keep a fresh supply of token ring cards handy to swap out if the need arrises.
And im not joking:

Its really not bad depending on where you live. Dont live in the CITY of poughkeepsie. the TOWN of poughkeepsie is much much better...

Apparently its a known problem. They just dont feel like doing anything about it:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13939
but still, the problems with sorting bookmarks still exists. I was hoping this would be fixed before release.
... would be access to the rejected bin. i pay $5 a month for full access to totalfark, and its worth it there. give access to the reject bin here, and you may well get more subscribers.

i noticed this too.

I found these when i started working for big blue... they scare me severely.
Yeah, i didnt either. I was at the booth with them talking about it. The girl i listened to obviously didnt want people to know.

Star Trek Armada II just came out, and theres another came called Bridge Commander thats coming out sometime soon. Cant go wrong with Trek!
