and more often the linux security updates cause the computer not to boot! (I updated some stuff on Suse with their updater... and blam, my boss was pissed at me, cause he told me NOT to update the boxes, and I was being paranoid about outsiders... but the suse update (kernel update) caused the computer not to boot even!

What the heck has lego been doing, I've wondered for a while.
I've wanted to buy lego's a few times, but have only seen bionicle thingies that only work as those bionicle thingies.... I don't want that...
We'll I've also seen many Harry Potsmoker and JarJar 2 piece lego sets.
I do not want to buy a lego set that only has 2 pieces! NO NO NO.
I haven't seen mindstorms in the stores. I want a set very badly.
Heck I want 2 or 3 sets badly.... but mostly as an impulse buy as I am currently between jobs...
anyway, It is good that they are going back to basics... but technique and mindstorms are somethings that I want to give to 4/5 year olds to play with. (I've done some babysitting, and entertaining ones self and allowing the kids to participate is great)
Hehe... I don't care what you do with the bandwidth as long as it's not between 1am and 7am... That's my free time! and I don't like it when my streaming video stops working at night only.;)
Little things like keyboard shortcuts can be changed easily.
All you need is have a layer between them and the application.
KDE does this.
You can choose: MacOSX style, Win95 style... and it's not just the theme! It also changes BEHAVIOR
We really NEED one desktop that can be super modular and rely on the same abstractions for compatibility.
Er... basically to say what I was thinking clearer: We need a common abstraction layer for all desktops.
Light desktops might ignore some of the aspects, and full-on desktops might add their own extensions... but that's what open standards and no royalties are for.
You'll probably want to at least zip it and embed it into another file...
I wonder how many terrist messages I have on my computer?

OpenOffice.org Hits 1.1

· Score: 2, Interesting
Arg!
This has lots of nice new features... and it is WAY faster than Oo1.0 and they changed the names of their programs to Draw, Writer and the like, dropping hte OpenOffice1.0.3.1 that made my start menu be messed up in 1.0..
This is very nice, and I stopped using MS Office products for most things... because Draw Rocks as a publishing program...
But what ticks me off the most is the inability to insert a chart into Draw based off a Calc worksheet. You must manually enter all of the data... Not even copy and pasting works! This is the only reason why I keep MS Publisher arround...
Also thier bug submitting website kinda sucks...
Also new in this release is a talk back type product.. I used OpenOffice1.1RC1 and it crashed on exit because we were using it on windows 2000 terminal server with multiple users... I allowed it to report the bug... and the crash didn't occur on the next release!

Body: Hi, I have a project that needs to be done ASAP, It just might be worthwhile for me to outsource this job, but the deadline is aproaching quickly.
The project: I must find a way to help my customers keep away from unwanted sights and know what they are getting into. I estimate that my cost of having people directed to a sight without a proper error message will be -$1.00
Please, in your estimates consider that my customers mispell about 100 domain names per day. I need to provide them with a sure way to know that they missed their website, as our network relies on the error message for a missed domain name to operate properly.
So, I suppose a web browser based solution might work for you guys... make a BROWSER PLUG-IN for people who what your functionality. and I'm looking forward to that money!
Thanks, I look forward to reaping the rewards of your venture! -The Devil 666 Center of the earth (666) 666-6666
Whenever somebody miispells my internet address, they end up going to sitefnder.veirsign.com!
This is extremely difficult on my disabled users who frequently mispell my sight name, and rely on their browsers error message to know what happened.
They also don't appreciate that the closest match for the common mispellings are an adult site!, but that is besides the point.
As my main web site makers, what can you do? I'd hate having to go with another web design ferm, I trust that you can fix this... was it an upgrade to Windows 2003 that caused this problem? I've heard some bad things about that... but Microsoft patches their stuff pretty quickly.

I covered multiple ways a higher gas tax would help the situation.
imagine replacing the SUVs with mini's or motorcycles...that means less conjestion!
traveling at conjested times means that you will be idleing a bunch... and not going at your most efficient speed... so you use more gas per mile!... so you start traveling at less conjested times!
Don't charge public trasportation the gas tax... fund it with the gas tax... it will get enough money so that it will actually be convient for people to use if there are good connecting routes!
sometimes people really need to get from one place to another at a certain time... why penilise the poor people for having a need and let the rich poeple waste everybodies resources?
You'd have to do this with a gas tax.
more effient technologies will be created if the demand is there...
and the poor people can have better public transportation and or carpools and other stuff..
Big brother in and of itself is a quasher for that satellite plan...
but a gas tax is way easier to implement, (the infrastructure is already there) and it hits the wastefull hard while allowing the people to do what they need to do.
I bet the SUV drivers are behind this taxing proposal... and maybe the road developers too...
They want to charge all the economy car drivers for the wear and tear the SUV drivers put on the roads... and incourage the wearing out of our roads by those SUVs
Bigger cars use more gas and wear out the road more... and take more space on the road!
If we drove mini's and motorcycles we wouldn't have to build new roads... and we'd save our gas!
Morons who drive big gas guzzelers should be fined accordingly!
Gas taxes would encourage technology development and conservation of our resources.
oil/gas is scarse!
we here in the us should be paying $5 or more per gallon for it... I want to see our

grrr.
technique Not for most 2 year olds though...
I hadn't thought about that,
When we can't twiddle with our black boxes, we'll buy it based on what the vendor says... and we'll have no way of knowing what the heck it is.
And they can screw with bench marks too.
But I think That'll be a little ways off...
Other fun possibilities:
You buy a record that only you can listen to... how do you know that it's the same one as everyone else got?
luckilly that would require brain implants, but it's a neat thought none the less.
Hehe... ;)
I don't care what you do with the bandwidth as long as it's not between 1am and 7am... That's my free time! and I don't like it when my streaming video stops working at night only.
They just need to get off their arses and install a router with the needed QoS component.
/ftp downloads to 40kb/s They need to ensure that the people with IP telephony and games don't drop packets.
Linux has a whole bunch of options for that...
You can cap someones bandwidth, allow certain types of communications to go through at higher priority... you can do certain ports...
The ISP should be making sure that 100% of their bandwidth is being used, and everyone is getting service.
so what if they cap edonkey

That is what slashdot is doing. It is highly important.

feel free to start an authentication service or your own VPN and require whatever you want to access it.

I've had lots of cd's fail.
Cheap car cd players scratch them bad, lend them to a friend. but them with lable side down and they are totally ruined...
My girlfriend recently got mad when she couldn't find a CD... and then she pawed through all of her cds... a bunch of scratches occured to the cds..
I'm sure the RIAA smiles upon that. but I hope to hook her up with a 100 gig HD and rip all of her CD's in high quality...
But she doesn't want a computer attached to her stereo!!?!
But She'd accept straight rips of the CDs.

Or nature refining a pattern through Aaron...
Intelect Control seems like a good description of what people mean when they say Intelectual Property.
But it doesn't work as a replacement...
Intelectual Phenomena
seems like it could work as a replacement and meaning...
or Intelectual Pattern
They are almost synonimous with idea... yet soften the possesive use of the terms...
