I thought you took care of ALT with your thumb already?
and where is the windows Key solution '/me ducks' I can't believe he removed it for his shift key:-}
my solution was even simplier, I just taped my 'pinky' finger to the one next to it (2nd from index) , that way, it puts less stress/stretch on your tendons in your wrists
I don't get that? I do *have* it, and it continues to grow. TBH, I do not know the exact number because the filemanager does not tell you per folder size only the total usage and per file (I have submitted that feature request a couple of times, hopefully they'll add it).
I actually have a total of 63.2GB in my file manager, but I know the majority is in my linux folder (sub'd with distros, kernels, and various patches, misc files).
If it was not for their Download URL feature, I'd probably only have 5GB as it would take forever to download first and the re-upload (even from the saturated T1 at work).
I have over 20GB of linux distros/kernels in my online file storage. I have hit many of the torrents over the past couple months stocking up. I can't stand trying to find a mirror that is fast enough, so storing them, as I do, works out perfectly.
this article's http://www.linuxisotorrent.com/ site will be sweet to find some of the stuff I've been having trouble locating (I hope). so far it looks very cool
that hasn't had any proper treatment in some time (no amount of chlorine will help at this point):-} I'd say there's an easy 50 gallons of the green stuff if anyone wants it for this purpose, only $2.39/gallon (hey, it's cheaper than 89 at Chevron!)
shinyfeet.com
they force a security image (like the one slashdot finally added for posts) for things like signup, and password checks/changes. this prevents scripts from harvesting anything.
I have used them for a few months, I use my shinyfeet address for everything, subscriptions, newsletters, orders, etc. and I see no spam (unless I check my junk folder).
So even if my email was sold from one of the sites I registered with, or they harvested my information from, say slashdot, Shinyfeet's spam filtering is good enought that I do not have to deal with it. My Yahoo and Gmail accounts, on the other hand, are not nearly as nice to me when I have to try and shift through non-stop SPAM in my Inbox. And I haven't even used Gmail for much!
hopefully they will read what we have commented over here and brush up on their research and editing staff. I do not need to point out every mistake, most of you have caught them already in the ~50 comments posted for this article. But whoa momma there are many.
the cool thing is, most of us that commented actually RTFA - maybe M-LAG-azine did not think they would have anyone read it, just hit the site, see it was full of holes and start clicking some ads or without readers the contents of the article would not have to be accurate?
It is a shame, they are touting themselves as 'a site devoted to the history of personal computing' - I guess you don't have to have your facts straight, just 'devoted' to putting flawed history writeups. I'm scared to check out their sister site 'Macreate'.
but I don't think they come with that Skype deal.
I don't think I'd link up with earthlink @ $22/mo for this offer, too bad i am not in the market though.... bbl going to call up some friends and family to help them out and get them moved into a less frustrated enviroment (non-Windows):-P
slashdot users are interested in way more than that. almost is right, the laptop I saw was powerful enough, and I had planned to wipe and install whatever I wanted on it - as I do with laptops (or any other box) that comes predisposed with windows.
if we are talking what we want for ourselves, then yes, everyone (usually) wants the most powerful, best, etc. machine - but many times we are looking out for others, like family members and friends that are not as technical yet are willing to get away from the hell that is Microsoft.
"Well, you'll see basically everything," said Bill Scannell, a privacy advocate and technology consultant. "It shows nipples. It shows the clear outline of genitals."
now we can't get the majority of our nation to understand our generation's rules and what should and should not be allowed - nor can get get them to differentiate between a file swapper and a copyright infringer, but they know when their johnson or kitty is being exposed and they'll fight against that.
I don't care, really - as long as I get my thumbs up and a smile from the scanner after I pass though, and then perhaps a little high-mile club action
then so what. and I'll probably get one of each after they have been out for a bit, more games are available (and some mod chips:-P ) - at least they are improvements compared to what we have now.
the article is probably correct to some degree and MS might not make their billion consumer mark (who cares?) but if anyone has enough marketing power/money to do it, it's M$.
so what, I'll get one of each after the prices come down. at least its improvement. the article is probably correct to a degree and MS might not make their billion consumer mark, but if anyone has enough marketing power/money to shoot for a billion consoles, its M$
1. Netscape browser needed several fixes hours after its release.
2. Netscape browser will not install unless IE is installed.
3. Installation of Netscape breaks IE.
too bad for #2 otherwise, it sounds like something I would want to enforce an update for all domain users:-} - although, since IE is installed by default....
yea we are much too late on this. RIAA and MPAA have done their job well by putting a negative label out there for the world to associate. they are great marketers, ain't they?
you are correct, but copyright infringers would not market as well - and then what would 90% of the world think? they need some easy not-have-to-think way to look down upon things they do not understand. RIAA/MPAA made it easy for the world to turn up their nose to file swappers.
when I talk to the generation above mine (and I am 30) they usually say "that's great, those fileswappers are breaking the law" and then I ask them if they exchange jokes, comics, new articles, anything that can be resolved to someone's copyrighted IP.
it is going to be the media buzzword to love to hate - I can hear the daily/nightly news now (they have already) "NNNN organization is cracking down on fileswappers", "the glorious, no wrong doing RIAA is getting help from our people supporting governement to get those fileswappers, which everyone knows costs us tons of money and should all be hanged next to rapists and murders"
ever hear of 'no such thing as bad advertising'? artists of all levels, from just starting out, to top of the charts benefit from internet sharing.
everyone loves to argue that it hurts the music industry or hurts up and coming artists, but the only thing it can really do, is prevent shitty artists from making money - and how is that a bad thing? if you make crap, don't cry to the world that the problem was file sharers, the problem was your crappy music.
now I know there are 100 different ways (now, due to the pressue internet sharing put on the industry - you used to get stuck with a crappy cd) to test out music before you buy it, but is there a good way to listent to a full album for a while to decide if you really want to purchase it, or go to one of their concerts or support the artist in other ways?
i'm not normally one to cheer on France, but looks like they've done something right - I wonder if you were able to internet share paintings, sculptures and other artist work (beyond music, you get me) if France courts would be handing out the same ruling.
however, after IDRTFA (i did read the f'n article) this judge's statement is way out of place: "Judge Dominique Barella told Wired News. "It's like condemning people for driving too fast after selling them cars that go 250 kmh."" uh, ok so don't condemn me for using a gun that you sold me which I used to shoot you, or drinking too much of their Wine and drive around knocking out pedestrians - maybe i should retract my statement about France being right:-}
ha, no shit. so the CIA wants to spend some money relaxing and playing some video games, you don't have to hype it all up and spin it to make 90% of the nation think you are wasting our tax dollars wisely.
and I have to agree with you on not being the enemy. most of the globalization gets me hot under the tie as well... rampant is a fitting way to describe the gg. although I must admit, I tend to stay away from political matters, even though I vote and do my part, you just never win and infuriates.
i'll say, who would have thought a 28 year old spacecraft would have made it that far without getting completely destroyed, but to cross 'the termination shock' as well!
it did read like NASA will not pull the plug, how could they possibly. is the heat from Bush really that bad? could not Bush's NASA advisors sway him that this is some incredible data discovery over wasting money to put people on Mars in 40+ years?
if NASA does not terminate the project to favor Bush's push to put humans on Mars, the Voyager 1 has enough power to last another 15 years (2020). in that case, they should be able to retain enough data to calculate what is going on in the heliosheath and beyond. I don't think 'hot' is used to describe a location that is 7 billion miles from the sun:-}.. but they should be able to calculate a close temperature based on the distance and magnetic fields among many other factoring (IANAS)
agreed, however, it is not you (the person) that is the concern, it is the vulnerable machine(s) attached to it that would abuse the open port. at least that is where I can see FTC/ISP's coming from.

through a different, smaller mfg, though. so perhaps when this article states 'like HP' they mean, Dell?
uh, 40 years before I was born?
still cool, I think I'll twist one up and take a drive up there, snap off some photos (you know where I'll post them)
whew, luckily there are no gay people working at the airports
