Yahoo is free, and runs on Mac, Window$ and Linux. You could create a private "user" room, when you are online, and only allow each other to join it. Once in the room, you can use voice to talk to each other. Sound quality is acceptable, even on a 56 Kbps modem.
Using Yahoo also allows you to send "sweet" messages when she's not there - she will get them when she logs on next. Be really lovey-dovey and romantic - and she will be eager to avail her body to you on your next meeting.
This method also works with multiple girl friends, but best results are only possible when only one girlfriend is online at any one time.
No, you missed it. He secretly works for SCO as a software developer and is in the process of putting some SCO Intellectual Property code into the most popular Linux games. He gets a commision for every lawsuit SCO initiates, with the end result raising the share price.
SCO's business plan doesn't involve software development (in fact there is only one full time programmer, and two part time programmers). It involves 20 lawyers making false claims.
A Pentium 4? 2 year old video card? You poor soul!
I'm stuck with a 5 year old computer: * Pentium 3/450 MHz * 576 MB RAM * Diamond Viper V550 (TNT) PCI 16 MB
Plus a 32 MB AGB TNT2 card purchased 2 months ago. If my other half didn't have a shoe fettish or jewellery obsession, I would be running with more clicks.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, from the nerds in Melbourne.
Surely there is some foreign language out there that has lindow as a generic word? That can be trade marked?
I only have two dictionaries here: Spanish: lindo (meaning pretty, lovely) German: lind (meaning gentle, mild)
Lin is also French for the flax flower.
If you search google (latin +lindow english meaning), you will find that Lindow is a surname: http://www.oraltradition.org/bibliograph y/index.as p?alpha=L
Lindow is also a place in West England. Lindow Man is the name of a homesexual druid from those parts. http://home.earthlink.net/~ekerilaz/lindow .html http://whysnape.tripod.com/languages.htm
If the HUD showed: * speed * trip distance * number of FRAGS * ammo remaining
That would be sweet.
X-Ray vision would be neat during confrontations with a rough/tough bikey gang member in a bar. You can see if they have a knife or a gun. Although you would look like a dag wearing a helmet in a bar - you could choose your fights carefully and live.
I live in a rental property (can't drill holes or rewire), but my idea works for me. It also worked when I was living with my parents.
To get more phone jacks, have you considered using double adapters (one telephone socket becomes two)? This is very similar to a double adapter at a power socket. Adapters are very cheap and reliable.
Use two or three double adapters near the junction box. And the new wires you plug into the double adapters can be wired through the walls/roof/floor to the location where you need access.
It's pretty easy - in Australia there are 4 wires, however only two are ever used.
I do fear that/. will now appear in XXX search engine results. Double adapters have other meanings.;-)
You can use it to assist with Internet Connection Sharing, as well as blocking ports on the network interface that connects to the internet. I block all ports but 80 & 81 (2 different web severs).
You can have 100% W3C compliant pages, but it is very possible that they will be rendered slightly differently in different browsers (even standards compliant browsers).
For example, I can create a validated XHTML page with one paragraph inside it, and it will look different in Mozilla than what it does in MSIE. Even though Mozilla and MSIE support the standards used to render this one paragraph.
When I create a site, I use font sizes like xx-small, x-small, small, medium, large, x-large, xx-large. (Browsers can dynamically resize these with text size settings, to cater for older people or the visually impaired.)
However the fonts appears bigger in MSIE (or smaller in Mozilla if the glass is half full). The solution is to have another style sheet. If the reported HTTP_USER_AGENT contains MSIE, this style sheet is served after the first, and it makes the fonts in MSIE smaller. For example if the forementioned paragraph was x-small and Arial, the MSIE style sheet would need to specify xx-small - to make the font sizes as close as possible in different browsers.
I'm all for web standards, but a web developer who takes his/her work seriously will seek perfection: identical appearance and functionality in different browsers, using W3C standards.
I thought China had their own "officially sanctioned/goverment approved" distro, based off RedHat Linux, but called Red Flag Linux? http://www.redflag-linux.com/eindex.html If China spent money developing this distro, why would they change now?
Nonetheless, 1 million Linux desktops is an impressive number, and should cause Billy boy to loose some sleep. And Sun isn't as fscked as SCO is it?

Let your employees know how much you value their contributions and friendship. Give each a Christmas card with a meaningful message.
With luck, every employee will be with you next year. Make sure they know that "this year has been good for the company." If you do this, you will not set up expectations for following years, especially if your company does not do as well.

Here in Australia the aveage height of a female is 5'5" and the average height of a male is 5'10"
I stopped growning at 6'3" (no shoes) - and there is nothing sexier than a good looking, tall brunette. A little shorter than me so when she wears heels I am still a little taller. Mmmm.
How would this extend to multiple authors on a site? I would give each author a samlple link with javascript:emailAuthor("firstname lastname)". The JavaScript file would then need an array to find the corresponding address and change the document.location.href.
I use GAIM 0.70 in Linux, and Miranda 0.3.1 in Windows in a VMWare window. It's much easier to block/unblock MSN contacts in Miranda. Miranda is WAY smaller to download.

When a Chinese programmer (twice my age) got a job in a small web development department I was working in, he inherited my PC and I got a new one. [This was before the.bomb bust.]
Naturally I had installed VNC, because I prefer to VNC to web servers instead of walking across the building.
When the female head of HR (also the sister of the 3 directors) came to welcome him, I connected to his PC, opened notepad.exe and typed something like "I like to look at porno." Then I grabbed the window title bar and made it dance across the screen (to capture attention).
Needless to say, everyone was stunned, until they heard my uncontrollable snickers on the other side of the room. Busted!!!
The laugh was enjoyed by all, although you have to pick your target carefully.
The office also had one Netware server... I downloaded some program which broadcasts the presence of another Netware server... with semi-rude names like "porn-station". I'm sure it perplexed the network admins, but I never found out because their office was on the other side of the building.
When downloading large files, I would install AnalogX Proxy Server onto a web server, and download the file thru there. I got many Linux distros like that, although the network admins were not happy about the bandwidth usage and exceeding the download limits.
I also installed a key logger onto my managers laptop. After a few days, I examined the log and found the dialup networking password. This was a source of free internet and downloads for at least a year. I also used the above proxy, so it wouldn't look like the downloads were coming from a dialup connection.
Using this dialup access, and a microphone, I was also able to listen in on Saturday meetings because I streamed the audio using Window$ Media. VNC was used to start/stop/configure the streaming.
Now I work for myself - so there is no point playing practical jokes. It was fun while it lasted.
XFce 4 without the ~3 devel files: 19 RPM files - 11.89 MB Download time on a 52 kbps connection is about 40 minutes
XFce 3 4 RPM files - 6.82 MB Download time on a 52 kbps connection is about 21 minutes.
Several of the XFce 4 packages are optional. If you didn't download the XFce 4 themes/icons, it would be the same size as XFce 3. It's achieved a lot for the same code size (minus the themes and icons) - completely re-written from the ground up.
I advise all RedHat users (downloading XFce RPMs) not to download and install gtk2-2.2.4-1rh9.i386.rpm from the XFce SourceForge page - it prevented my gdm graphical greeter from loading the login screen.
The error message was: "The theme for the graphical greeter is corrupt. It does not contain definition for the username/password entry element." I clicked OK several times, but the error message stayed there.
If you run into troubles, revert to an older package like gtk2-2.2.2-0.ximian.6.3.i386.rpm or gtk2-2.2.1-4.i386.rpm
Dont play with/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf for half an hour like me, changing gdm greeter themes.

In other news...
Today Micro$oft contributed code to the Linux kernel, and announced plans to help iron out differences between Mozilla and MSIE :-)
I purchased my P3/450MHz in January 1999. I paid $50 more than I would have for a P2/450MHz.
This is in Australia. We get hardware a little later than the rest of the world.
