Gaim Encryption plugin Use gaim, use plugin. Give friends, etc. an ultimatum. I strongly encourage the use of this in more sensitive environments, especially if you're slinging account numbers around.
This message brought to you by the letter Q and the number 8.
Is NASCAR not based on the same princpiles? And yet we often gain from the design improvements of the engines, new techniques for oil, better processing of fuel, etc etc.
This will lead to further advancements. But, no, I don't ever expect to see this on my next Saturn.
NB: I am not a NASCAR fan. I find the 'show' to be incessantly boring.
I'm not sure if this should be a reply to someone else's comment, so I'll start anew.
I'm the guy who helped port the gaim-encryption plugin FROM Linux over TO Win32. (The opposite of the article and this topic, I know). But, after I sent the patches back up to the maintainer, he was able to easily carry it in his source tree.
I used Cygwin and MingW to handle the compilation with his original autoconf, etc. build environment. Of course, there was the requisite GTK+ libraries, etc. that went along with it too. But the magic was MingW and Cygwin.
Perhaps this could give the various developers some insight that "it really can be done".
First I'd like to apologize to my parent. I don't mean to reply to your post specifically, but rather address all the child posts (hmm, my siblings? hehe)
Anyway..
I'm sure plenty of zealots will detest this statement, but I'd like to draw everyone's attention to the Law of Conservation of (Matter|Energy):
(Matter|Engery) are neither created nor destroyed. They only change form.
I think it's fair to view life in the same sense. Sure our bodies will cease to take in oxygen and produce carbon dioxide, but the result of our decomposition goes on to further other plant and animal life, which gives off the elements for other growth (same as compost for your garden).
Sure it is much much more emotional than that, yes. But that's the 'gift' we humans have. However, the basic underlying truth is we are neither created nor destroyed; We simply change form.
Regardless of what magical specs, speeds, function (game versus video versus database), etc... sorry folks, SATA smokes SCSI any day of the week. The cost ratio is unmistakable. You'd be a fool to buy into SCSI again at this point in the tech curve. Yes, you can make cases for servers, datacenters, databases, mega-througput, etc.
But for the rest of the non-critical systems (all the home users and most geeks), it's SATA. Period. And yes, I have a U160 SCSI RAID array, and my new 250gig SATA disk smokes it. And significantly cheaper.
Yep. I manage to spend a few "quality" moments with Burlington's Finest Ignoramuses (Ignorami? Ignoramen?) last night. It was beautiful.
They LITERALLY beleived everything the propaganda and attack machines told them. They were repeating nearly word-for-word the crap spat by Fox News and local idiocy news. It was truly saddening. And they didn't beleive it as if they had spent time learning about it, they beleived it just because they were told to beleive it. It was as if the Borg had melded them into one ignorant collective.
It was saddening. I felt as if the place was on a "downhill slide into abysmal" (Ignoreland, R.E.M., 1992). And there was nary an opening for logic and reason. It was beautiful. Beautiful in that black-hole-sucking-up-the-light kind of way. Out here it is a lost cause. These people not only don't care, they don't want to care. They have been beaten into submission to not think for themselves.
I guess they had Jebus beaten into them after all...
Which is why I'm moving to Chapel Hill. I'm going for apartment-hunting Round 2 probably tomorrow (it's too late today to go, damnit).
It's SNOWING in Amarillo and Lubbock, and Roswell, NM! This is CRAZY! First the Red Sox, now THIS?! Are we doomed? Does this mean it's snowing in hell, for real? Holy crap this is insane...
Yeah I know what you mean. (No, I really do understand what you're trying to say).
Besides, I was tricked into replying to your post by a very sly, clever, dangerous little man. (yes, u know who u are, you monkey....yeah you with the chickens...)
hahaha
Nah, regardless of the matter, I am glad you're not an "undecided" or "ooo i can't choose" blah blah. Just make sure you go vote:-D most states have early voting so that should help the/.'ing of the polls. Wooo!!
heh... well it's amazing how the oil prices have skyrocked with Bush II in office. and oh once again we have no healthcare bill. oo oo and stem cells! yeah, Bush II is the first one to provide funding, because there were no bills in any prior legislation. so that is an apples:oranges comparison. and not to mention Bush II's restrictions and the lip-service to the media.
yeah. Bush II is gen, uh i mean a real, uh i mean, uh, uh, ahh "duhhh yeah i'm smart. cee? i gott a deeplommah from yayle datt my dadddy buyed me"
bah. Bush II is a punk. pull thy head from thy arse, and smell thine reality, o' pre-pubescent one. Bush II: Bush Harder is just a bad sequel to a bad movie.
I guess I should turn off my Roady2 now since I'm apparently listening to phantom streams. Dang. And I was just starting to like it too. Damn you, mwood!!!
i TOTALLY agree! yes, i am eager for this insane fad to pass. it is a ridiculous way to hack your diet. if you wanna lose weight, ya gotta burn more calories than you take in. it's that simple.
assuming, of course, you have a normal-functioning metabolism and other bodily organs aren't acting up (thyroid, etc). and if that's the case, atkins is the worst thing for you.
hey i'm sorry man, i didn't mean what i said. u're really are t3h l33t. really. it's just that..u know...sometimes i can kinda get a bit out of control and stuff...so..um..
hey moderator d00ds: mod parent up. he is t3h l33t. i am t3h suk.
I'm a fan of Microsoft. I like most of their products. I make a living off their development tools and platforms. I'm incredibly happy with Windows 2003 Server. I typically defend Microsoft whenever I get the chance.
Now this point is interesting. Which is the uncompetative behavior here, offering specific OEMs cheaper prices, or locking other OEMs out of those prices?
Option C: Neither.
The uncompetitive (get a dictionary, dork) behaviour is the fact that Microsoft ALSO says in th OEM agreement an OEM can't install other Operating Systems nor dual/multi-boot. The agreements are written to maintain their monopoly. Hence, anti-trust. (Wow, you really need help)
OEMs who were dual booting Windows with Linux were using the selling point of Windows to shift Linux, which I beleive is a unfair to MS.
Unfair to Microsoft? They are a monopoly and have used anti-competitive tactics to reach that state. Perhaps they are the ones unfair to the OEMs. Besides, any OEM who has installed a non-Microsoft OS on the same system as a Microsoft OS has been severly punished. You can't find an OEM that has bought into the Microsoft religion that also provides non-Microsoft OS as a default install. Yes, Microtel does Linux and blank systems. They are apparently not a Microsoft OEM as Dell, IBM, etc.
This has all been proven in court, btw. Try educating yourself, troll.

TAKE THE DATE!! You'll be glad you did :) Besides, the rule says you can cancel a date with a friend (ISO) if there's a possibility for sex.
(and confirmed by both ross and chandler)
Microsoft doesn't innovate. They assimilate. (SQL server -- sybase. IE -- spyglass. .NET -- colusia.)
Perhaps BASIC was the real innovation...no wait, that was available for the old Sinclair/Timex systems.
No, Microsoft does not innovate.

please oh please, has anyone hacked the pcmcia card for linux yet!? :(
:-D
I *DID* manage to get the the dummy_cs pc card to bind with the cardmgr services. but that was with 2.4 tho.
is there any love from the Triangle people?
The price-per-meg^H^H^Hgigabyte ratio of SATA to SCSI is phenomenal. 250gig SATA for 200$ at Best Buy.
Compare to 260$ for SCSI's meager 73gig at DC Drives.com.
Regardless of what magical specs, speeds, function (game versus video versus database), etc... sorry folks, SATA smokes SCSI any day of the week. The cost ratio is unmistakable. You'd be a fool to buy into SCSI again at this point in the tech curve. Yes, you can make cases for servers, datacenters, databases, mega-througput, etc.

Guys, this does *NOT* bode well:
weather.com map, snow in western Texas!
It's SNOWING in Amarillo and Lubbock, and Roswell, NM! This is CRAZY! First the Red Sox, now THIS?! Are we doomed? Does this mean it's snowing in hell, for real? Holy crap this is insane...
It's like Y2K-panic all over again...

Nah, regardless of the matter, I am glad you're not an "undecided" or "ooo i can't choose" blah blah. Just make sure you go vote
Anyway, have fun and happy slashing-of-dots!

thank you, Shky, thank you...
And don't forget about the gaim-encryption plugin!
http://gaim-encryption.sf.net
Cross-platform, and uses the mozilla NSS libraries which gaim already uses too!
ok, i'm taking offers for relocations to Star #46132. anyone wanna move with me?
this planet sucks. it's gone to hell.
"next!"

Both of you guys are on some weird blue-crack. "Web Developer" and you use IE as your main platform!? HAH!
You can't get comedy this good anywhere else...
