I've been with ServerAxis since November 2006 and they have been rock solid. Currently, for my very small hosting needs, I'm paying $9/mo for 512 MB RAM and a 16 GB SSD HD with 500 GB/month bandwidth. Full root access is included, but you have to install the OS off of one of their base images, with the options being CentOS, Debian, Gentoo and Ubuntu.
If your music is in a good directory/filename structure you can use MP3 Tag Tools to automatically read the filenames/directories and write the tags based on that. It will also take your tagged music and put it into the right folders with consistent filename. I have found it to be extremely useful for organizing my music files.
The software is Windows only, but EasyTag on Linux can do very simaler things. I'm not sure of a Mac equivalent.
The Kodak Kiosks (the yellow/blue ones) aren't much different from an inkjet (they are dye-sub), but the other (generally white) Fuji kiosks are a HELL of a lot better than your home inkjet. They are true photo printers and almost the size of my car. They don't compare to home inkjets. Plus they are cheaper per print.
Horde comes with CPanel. Many times professional web hosting companies provice CPanel, which includes Horde, Squirrelmail and Neomail as webmail options by default.
The point is you use a tab char, and then set your editor to show a tab as 8 spaces. So person A's tab is 4 spaces and person B's tab is 8 spaces, its just a tab for each and shows for each person how they want it.
I'm supprised cards like mine haven't become more popular - All of my credit cards from CitiBank have my face printed on the front of the card itself, and my signature is printed on the front of the card, in addition to me having to sign it on the back. If this were coupled with one of those "smart" cards that are hard to duplicate, it would be quite secure (right now, someone could steam my card and make a copy of it without my picture).
I'm not sure where you go (went?) to college, but here at UCONN, the dining halls are open constantly from 7:15 to 7:15, and if you manage to miss dinner, we have "grab and go" open until 9:00 or so. We do have to have a meal plan, but have options for anywhere between 300 meals/semester (19 per week) to 160 per semester, so if you don't plan on eating there much, you can get the cheaper mean plan.
I know PHP coders get a bad rap, but what do you consider to be a better language for web sites? Perl can be so horribly convoluted and hard to maintain, and most hosts don't support something like JSP.
The problem comes from the fact that the computer just lost power suddenly, thus weaking havoc on the databases. All the power is back up now, but the LJ servers cannot just resume normal function, because there is a chance the databases are fscked. If the servers stayed up, but the internal network went down, the databases would be perfectly fine, and as soon as Internap is back online, you can bring your servers back very shorly thereafter. Right now, Internap is back, but the databases are taking some work due to the sudden server shutdown, so LJ isn't up.
This is the perfect use for a thumb drive, so long as the computer you're using can be trusted. I can see a problem with people keeping all their keys on a thumb drive, and using it at a net cafe or something, but the computer at the cafe could be easily set to download the keys and key log the password to each set of keys. This can only be solved by something like an external device that will let you input a challenge code, and spit out a response code to gain access to the RSA key.
Wine stands for "Wine Is Not an Emulator". It doesn't emulate the graphics, it maps the syscalls from DirectX into opengl for graphics (This is my understanding of it, IANAWD (WineX Dev))
Honestly, do you really think MS is going to bust out a hex editor on every wav file that it ships? I'm no MS-lover, but that would be a massive waste of time. Its a sound file, it plays, their time is better spend elsewhere. Rather than hex-edit their wav files, they really out to make their darn OS stable...
Joker did the same thing - about a week ago, I got an email explaining what was going to happen. A few days later, I got another email saying that all my domains would be locked on Nov 10, and explained how to unlock them if needed.
This looks like a non-issue to me.
I have gaim set to universaly ignore fonts/colors (Why people use blue on purple, or the Slashdot IT theme for their font colors I will never understant), I like the buddy icons, I think it adds a level of personalzation without getting in the way or interfering with usability.
From what I've gathered, XOR is the basis of the OTP, which is unbreakable. XOR is also the basis of ROT and such, so it depends on how it is being used. XOR in a OTP is unbreakable, XOR in ROT isn't by a long shot.
5 Hours claimed doesn't seem like all that much for a so called ultra effeciant chip. My laptop is an Acer with a Pentium-M 1.5 GHz, and it claims 5.5 hours battery life. I've used it for about 3.75 hours while keeping the screen brightness up, using the wireless networking components, and burning some CDs before it finally hit the critical battery warning at 10% and I pluged it in, and this is a standard laptop w/ dvd burner, 60 GB HD, and a 15" screen.
I have a 2.1 MP Olympus C-2020z, bought it 4 years ago. It takes better pictures then most of my friends consumer level 3 or 4 mp pictures, just because of the superior optics in it. The other cameras have cruddy lenses, and can't get good shots at night, in fast motion, etc. For the record, I also paid $600 for that camera. Its still kicking after 4 years. I just replaced the rechargeable batteries for it yesterday too. The four year old ones weren't holding a charge for very long anymore...
It comes out about the same actually. Around here, a 36 exp roll of film costs $6.99 to devolop, or ~ $.19/print. The film then costs about $3.5. So total, we have (6.99+3.5)/36, or $.29/print. At our Walgreen's, its... guess what... $.29/print for digital. Exact same cost, except you only have the pictures you want printed. AND, At Walgreen's, if you have over 50 pictures printed, they drop the price to $.20/print. Walmart is $.24/print regardless of how many you have printed.
Seems cheaper to me, especially if you wait until you have 50 pictures to print and them get the discount.
Almost all digital camera store EXIF metadata in their jpegs, which contains, among other things, the date the picture was taken. It also contains things such as shutter speed, apature, and whether or not the flash was used. The full spec is available on exif.orghere
I couldn't justify $100 either, but I could justify $50. For whatever reason, someone bought a used GBA w/box for $50 on E-Bay (It retails new for $70, and the new model [sp] is out. Not quite sure why people on e-bay will buy things for so much, but I like it). So after selling my GBA, the GBA SP only cost me $50.

Thats common with Gaim as well. When upgrading to the next version of gaim, often idletrack.dll can't be overwritten because it is still in use.

I hadn't though of that - absolutely non. I sent them my picture and card number. Not saying its perfect, but its a step in the right direction.

Many of the new ones have touchscreens which acts like a mouse. The touchscreen plus the character map lets you input text based commands.

For a while, until the Athlons managed to heat the the entire region...
