interestingly enough, my computer science classes helped me to understand algebra better. i didnt even like math until i started programming. im sure others here have had similar experiences.
you have to actually make a seperate symlink to everything in your mozilla directory (the one with the randomized name). you cant just make a symlink to the directory itself. im not sure why. you also cant link to your prefs.js file, since the paths cant be the same across platforms (eg: \ in windows vs / in *nix). after you know that, its pretty easy to do.
ill give you a reason to switch! it's the ability to mount a windows partition from *nix and use the same browser with the same settings (bookmarks, cookies, emails) on both platforms.
no more rebooting to find that old email message you were looking for.
The minimum specs are: Win 98, PIII 800 MHz, 128 MB RAM, a GeForce card and 4.5 GB of hard drive space
so what they're saying is that the tiny video game machine i bought for $200 is more powerful than the desktop pc i bought for about $1000 just a few years ago?
this makes me wonder why no lawsuits have been brought against video game companies for not allowing consumers to play cdr backups of the games that they've purchased (eg: playstation).
aren't the major record companies being sued for, more or less, the same thing?
I find that I need to be sitting in front of a computer...
of course it's easier to write code on a computer. you have the compiler/interpreter to immediately alert you to your mistakes.
still, i dont see the point in these exams where you have to write a program on paper. its infinately more important to understand the concepts rather than to memorize the syntax of a particular language. thus, i believe that pseudocode should be the official language for written exams that involve programming in (at least higher-level) computer science classes.
Slashdot Mirror
you dont get blogs, yet you seem to be maintaining one. i dont get that.
Microsoft Settlement Compliance Criticized
is this really news? this happens almost every day here at slashdot. =P
If you are planning on offering the RIAA's music, what do you really have to do to play their music legally?
who cares about the riaa's music? ignore that cookie-cutter crap and support your local bands.
you know, im always saying that if i ever have an extra $15k lying around, i'll pay to have my car dropped out of an airplane...
i mean, why would i want to spend my hard earned money on anything worthwhile? jeeze!
FWD: FUNNY JOKES!!!!!!
Now I wonder if I could remotely flush my toliet
yeah. this would be useful, considering how hard it is to reach 3 feet and flush it manually.

too bad the wind-up phone charger isn't battery powered.
i guess this would be the "embrace" part of "embrace and extend."
and that message is...

Now MS tries to address subjects YOU WANT THEM TO ADDRESS, and the linux community is in an uproar.
i dont remember asking microsoft to determine what software i'm allowed to run on my machine.
they can't take away the clock. how will i know what time it is?
be sure to check out these customer reviews of online retailers.
not to be a troll or anything, but i think they could have come up with a better name.
"windependence" sounds like "windows dependence" to me, and who but m$ would want to celebrate something like that? ;)
