Actually, one did. First was McKinley, then Kennedy, then Reagan. The only difference being that Reagan survived.
Looks like someone slept through history class. The first attempt on a President was Jackson in 1835. Lincoln was killed in 1865 by Booth, an actor. The next President to be shot was Garfield in 1881 by Charles J. Guiteau, a disappoined unemployed guy. The next assassination happened in 1901 when McKinley was shot by Leon Czolgosz, an anarchist. Between 1901 and when Kennedy was shot in 1963 by Lee Oswald, there were two attempts on Presidents. One happened in 1912 against former President Theodore Roosevelt on a campaign stop. The second happened against Franklin Roosevelt in 1933. The shots missed Roosevelt but killed Anton Cermak, the Mayor of Chicago. After Kennedy's death, there were three attempts on a Presidents life. The first two happened in September 1975 against Gerald Ford while in California. The third happened against Reagan in 1981.
In a way, he should be afraid. If SCO wins in court against IBM and proves IBM put SCO's UNIX code into the kernel, then Linus could be in hot water. SCO might want Linus to answer these questions:
When was SCO code put into the kernel? Did Linus know the code being put into the kernel was SCO code? Has Linus attempted to remove the code in question? Did Linus discipline those who put the SCO code into the kernel?
In short, I would not want to be in his shoes now. There is hope though. I think SCO will lose this one though.
Lynx is a product of the Distributed Computing Group within Academic Computing Services of The University of Kansas. Lynx was originally developed by Lou Montulli, Michael Grobe, and Charles Rezac. Garrett Blythe created DosLynx and later joined the Lynx effort as well. Currently it is being maintained by members of the Internet community.
Thanks to Tim Berners-Lee and the other CERN World Wide Web wizards for the WWW client library code and all of their other work on the WWW project. Thanks to NCSA and the Mosaic developers, and to everyone out in netland who has contributed to Lynx's development either directly (through comments or bug reports) or indirectly (through inspiration and development of other systems). Also a special thanks to Foteos Macrides who ported much of Lynx to VMS, and to Earl Fogel of the University of Saskatchewan. Earl developed a UN*X/VMS version of Peter Scott's HYTELNET using the hypertext engine HYPERREZ. HYPERREZ was developed by Neil Larson of MaxThink and served as the infrastructure for the early versions of Lynx which did not use the WWW libraries and had their own hypertext format.

I can relate in a way. About four years ago, I was waiting for the school bus. A friend of mine drove over my schoolbooks two times. I was lucky not to pay any fines.
I doubt it. More than likely it is the 14 million mozilla users downloading Netscape 7x just to get the email dictionary. After installing it they just delete the software. Besides myself, I know several mozilla users who did this.
You could save yourself the 20-40 MB NS7 download time by just getting the spellchecker from spellchecker.mozdev.org. Anyways, if you tried to use the NS 7.01 spellchecker with Mozilla, it won't work pass 1.0.2.
The last time I went into a Radio Shack, I was not impressed. They seem to be Compaq's whores now. The PCs they sell are Compaq and any PC supplies they sell are Compaq branded. They barely knew what cable I needed for my printer. (The answer is a USB cable). None of the display Compaq PCs worked! I wanted to play around with the display laptop, but they could not turn it on.
I love to know how she got the dough for the TiBook. If she had a minimum wage job (the current wage is $5.15 USD) and wanted the high end TiBook (which is 2,999 USD, according to Apple), it would have taken her 582 years to save up the cash...
While I wish that the Abi people get everything resolved to their liking and for PayPal to be dismantled and sold for parts, an online petition is not the way due to many factors which are talked about in this essay. Before filling out an online petition, it's a very good read.
Someone dropped the ball here.

On 21 December 1991, the USSR broke up. Four days later, Gorbachev resigned as Soviet President. Any new registrations for.su should have been frozen. People who had an.su domain should have been given three choices:
A. Closing out their.su domain. B. Transferring their name to another ccTLD in the world; C. Transferring their name to one of the new Republics ccTLDs once they were set up;
After that was done, the.su ccTLD should have died in 1991-92 and not in 2002, a full ten years after the events happened.

It's a bad idea to keep.su as a name of a geographic region. The Soviet Union is not a geographic region; it never was one. As I look at the map above my head, I see the 15 nations that were created from the USSR. The former SSRs have ccTLDs now. Let's place the.su TLD in a museum with all the other dated relics.
Also, if you don't support Wal Mart, then why do you go there?
There are other things @ Wal Mart besides CDs or movies. I go there for those other things. If I want CDs (I don't buy them anymore) or movies, I go to a specialty store.
I've seen R rated movies at Wal Mart. I never buy due to the fact that I don't want to use my dollars to support a group that censors things it doesn't care for.
...Why not just take the seller to Small Claims Court? You could recover the goods you brought and/or the money you spent. It all depends were you live, of course.
I've listened to *.wma compared to *.mp3 and *.ogg. In my view, *.mp3 and *.ogg are close in sound quality (However, *.ogg is best). *.wma fails. It sounds worse than *.mp3 or *.ogg.
Disclaimer: The above is based on my own personal observations of all three formats. So take it with a grain of salt!!! I could be talking out of my ass here.

Have you heard of Documents To Go? Word To Go works prety well.

To Me, UNIX® is a diluted trademark. Do you think the Open Group can maintain the UNIX® standards without the trademark?

I agree that the 'net should be a place were information should be shared freely. But if that information is pr0n, is that ok?
