Along sort of similar lines...at where I work, Microsoft SQL Server is simply called "sequel" or sometimes even "S-Q-L". They are not referring the the language but the database server product.
Although, I don't really think Microsoft would get upset...If people wanted to associate anything SQL with their product, then great!:)
Yeah, I think you need the entire runtime environment because how else would the Java applets run?
After installing the jre, I then manually copy over the NPOJI600.dll (and similar.so under Linux) to the Netscape/Mozilla plugins subdirectory.
Java works everywhere I've tried EXCEPT hushmail.com:( I'm not sure if it's a hushmail programming bug or a Mozilla bug or a Java bug...but when I type in my passphrase, every keystroke is repeated.
I am extremely pleased with Mozilla. In fact I use it as my full-time browser both at work in Windows (where IE is company policy) and at home in Linux.
Unfortunately I cannot move completely from Netscape Mail at home because I use my own system to pull my pop mail from all my accounts via ssh and therefore need the MoveMail using external script option that isn't present under Mozilla:(
One strange thing in the browser that I've noticed is that if I use Microsoft's Courier New truetype font for the Monospace category, all of my input fields become around twice as tall as before. So I stick with the default Adobe-courier font for that category. Anyone know why this is so? I guess I'll go scan Bugzilla again and submit something.
My family lives under Rogers' monopoly. When both my sister and I left for university, my dad cancelled our cable TV service since noone left needed to watch TV at home.
Rogers did not cancel our service and after my dad came back from a trip out of Canada, he found letters from Rogers threatening him and they continually called to threaten him about not paying for the service. Needless to say, he was really upset. Especially since he had paid for three months _after_ his original cancellation request. He told me each time they harassed him, it always ended up in a shouting match with whomever Rogers sent to harass him.
The issue was never resolved. Since then, Rogers has continually called to try to solicite their services. On a few occasions, my dad decided to go ahead and subscribe only to later be called by someone working for Rogers harassing him about how he still owes them money. And then the cycle repeats...
Actually, Sympatico tells you how to use multiple computers on their service on their own website! All you need is a hub and run the connection client (available for Linux) on each machine.
With Rogers, you usually need to setup a machine to do NAT or IP-Masq.
Rogers is really really fast, but it goes down all the time. For the past two weeks the number of times it's gone down (from a few minutes to a few hours, sometimes all day) per day has been around 2. The first week after getting it installed (only a couple of months ago) it was down over 4 of the 7 days. Very frustrating. Any other ISP with those kinds of uptimes would be out of business in a flash! I'd settle for half the speed just to get decent uptimes in connection.
As it is, I have to keep an analog modem hooked-up to dial to an ISP when Rogers goes down.
I used to think the terrible stories were from rare incidents. Now I know first hand. But I don't have a choice. I am Roger's whore.
I've just started to use HSBC (Hong Kong-Shanghai
Bank of Canada or something like that:)
starting this summer now that I've graduated.
The online-banking seems pretty good although I
don't use it nearly as much as their NetTrader
stuff. They both work without any problems with
Netscape 4.7x under Linux.
The NetTrader interface isn't as slick as the
Internet-Banking counterpart (and I think TD
Waterhouse has more features too) but it does what
I need and more.
My only real problem, although it is more amusing
than really a problem is that when I do call them
up that they answer in Cantonese (even though I
specifically dialed the English number:) and then
after speaking a bit in English, asking if I'd
rather speak in Cantonese:) I wonder if they'd
do that even if I dialed the Mandarin number...to
ask if I'd rather speak in Cantonese heheheh:)
From personal experience of two cities in Canada, in Oakville and Kingston, both in Ontario, it changes every once in a while. It's a big pain for me each time because I have setup a NAT server at a friend's house, and used to need to go thru it to get to another server via ssh to get my mail while I am at work. So everytime the IP changed, i would have to call up my friend's house to tell someone there to send me an e-mail and then call up the place with my mail to let the new IP connect via ssh.
I am about to put in a cron to scp the output of the ipconfig or something to another place. But my friend's family has gone on vacation so I don't know the new IP:( But I have gotten my workplace
to allow outgoing port 22 connections now so my pain has been reduced:)
I think the purposefully don't want to guarantee a static IP just to deter web and ftp servers though.
Hmm, if it's several years ago, maybe you meant "Comanche" from Novalogic. It definitely looked
voxel-based. There could also be a game called "Apache" but I can't remember an old one, there is a somewhat new one by EA called longbow or
something like that which uses Apache helicopters
I think. Haven't played it though so I don't know
if it's voxel-based or not.
I'm using wine at work in a development-type setting. I can't bear to do my work under the constraints of Windows (although other programmers are fine/used to it) so I was allowed to use Linux and run certain required apps under Wine.
What i did was setup sshd to listen on port 80 on a server i setup for a friend's house with cable internet. So from inside my company's workplace, I connect to that server's port 80 via ssh. From there, i can then ssh elsewhere unrestricted.

Name: Kevin Cloud Email: kevinc@idsoftware.com Description: Artist Project: Quake 3 Arena Last Updated: 06/02/2000 11:40:12 (Central Standard Time) ------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------- It seems like every id game is marked with some great conflict. Paul Steed is one of the most vocal and controversial people in gaming. Therefore, it is not surprising that his departure from id would also be controversial.
John and I have strongly disagreed in the past. We have worked out our disagreements and we will do so again. In the end we are all excited about working on DOOM and committed to making a great game.
Although Adrian and I alone made the decision to fire Paul, it is the general opinion among the rest of id that we made the right decision. Paul was not fired as a result of his support for DOOM. Other people at id supported DOOM in the exact same manner. For several reasons it was time for id software and Paul Steed to part company.
This should have no reflection on Paul's talent as an artist. It goes without saying that he is one of the best modeler/animators in the gaming business.
As owners of this company, it is our responsibility to make these types of difficult decisions. Adrian and I made the decision we believe is in the best interest of the company.
John and I have agreed to disagree, put our differences behind us and move on to make DOOM the best game we can make it.
There are also DNA viruses that exist in nature. So engineering a DNA-based virus wouldn't be a far reach at all. Saves having to package in reverse transcriptase to convert the RNA into DNA once in the target cells.
Stevie "Killcreek" Case looks completely different than her older pictures that I saw of her (I think it was in an interview shortly after she beat Romero at deathmatch a long time ago). I don't think she needed to go blonde and get breast surgery, but that's her decision.
Actually I tend to agree with the original poster.
It doesn't free _us_ from the legacy x86 "loophole". Instead, it frees Transmeta of this legacy loophole.
By maintaining compatibility with the x86 instruction set via software translation, they should be able to change the hardware design a lot more freely. The legacy x86 support then does not become a crutch to them as it is with other cpu makers so they can completely change from VLIW or whatever if something better comes along. I think having the legacy x86 support is more important than you believe. Why has Intel stayed with that for so long? Their OEM customers want to be able to run all those Windows-based software. I don't think the OEM's would be interested in other architectures.
During the Q&A, they had said that they had to reverse engineer the x86 and MMX from scratch. I would assume that this takes a lot of time (and money) and they'd probably don't want to delay their products by reverse engineering all the other chips you've mentioned and writing code-morphing for all of them (for the time being). It might be simple to do, but it sure takes a lot of time.
Someone asked this question during the Q&A period. The code-morphing includes the MMX instructions. But not 3DNow! I forgot if he said they were working on it or didn't think it was worth it though.
IE suffering half those problems is an exaggeration imho. But certainly one problem it does have annoyed me the most this past Christmas when I was using my dad's Windows machine. The partial download problem. So much loss of productivity (relatively, in Christmas holidays terms) just because I had to completely re-download so many things.
I use wget (under Linux) to do most large downloads anyway. I don't enjoy using Windows so I never go looking for a wget-like utility either.
In anycase, using IE is completely irrelevant to me since it doesn't run under Linux. Running Windows to just to use IE would be illogical. What I'm waiting for is for someone (or me) to implement a javascript on/off toggle button. Going to preferences has become routine, but that's tedious...:)
The xmatrix module has some commandline options to allow you to adjust its behaviour. Among other things, I changed the font to be smaller which I felt looked more realistic on my display.
Your post got me wondering if the harmful insects have a longer active season than the crops.
Perhaps the period of time between crops will help naturally drive down the insect population that's developed any degree of resistance to the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxin?
At 40-50 simultaneously open pages, I can see an obvious benefit from having a main containing program to organize all the browser windows together, and conserving memory from not defining multiple sets of menus, toolbars, etc. If programs are always run maximized, then non-MDI also is not necessary. This may be the general case for desktops at 800x600 or smaller.
Speaking for myself, but I think also for many others, I don't usually have nearly that many simultaneous windows open so I prefer to space out all my windows, including non-browser ones, on my desktop (they may still have areas overlapping). With an MDI browser in this situation, to have my browser windows spread out, I would have to make the parent window large enough, and this would cover-up my other non-browser programs.
