We shouldn't forget about the great "Send To" item on the right-click menu either. Chuck all your favourite apps in the send-to bin, then you can whip them up whenever you like.
I usually use this to view readme and.c files in notepad (so that I don't have to load bloated Word/Wordpad, or my compiler, just for some quick reference), or to view any other file in notepad (or vi for that matter).
When PSP installs, it lists all the filetypes it handles, and ticks only the ones that are currently not handled by any other application. You can then 'select all' or 'select none' or select whatever you like.
Don't complain because you chose to associate it with everything (by clicking on whatever you did), without thinking of the consequences.
Joe Average doesn't look at his computer as a programmable tool like we do. He looks at it the same way as you would look at your video player. Put the tape in and it plays. Click on your mp3 and it plays. He doesn't give a flying fuck whether it gets played by MS or Real or Nullsoft or whatever (and most likely, couldn't tell the different), as long as it plays.
People who are aware of such a difference are likely to be able to find their way to "Open With", or download an application to manage filetypes in a friendly way.
This article is so unbelievable -- he complains that something is "hidden away" and "arcane" because it is completely configurable, and located more than one mouse click away. Sound like a familiar complaint about a certain OS?
There _are_ technical difficulties involved too. Many programs can be run with the commandline ' "%1"', but what about programs that want to accept switches, or have other functions defined (eg. Print instead of Open). This is why applications can register filetypes themself, so they can get it right.
Why is keeping an associated program for extensions stupid?
I love it how I can load my file in the correct application just by typing its name (or clicking on it, if I am feeling lazy). I also enjoyed gloating while using Windows NT 4, when Windows 95 did not allow this from its DOS prompt.
But then you have to design protocols and worry about blocking and aborting and so on. The good thing with COM is that they all speak the same language, and you can even find out everything you want to know about what the other end supports at runtime
The forces of Mordor would have crushed the army. The might of Gondor had been waning for decades -- the nations were much much weaker than they were at the battle of the Last Alliance. You will see this at the scene "The Black Gate Opens" (probably near the start of the third film), and perhaps sooner if they play it up.
The only way to victory lay in sneaking undetected into Orodruin and depositing the ring. The hobbits were chosen because they were hardy and the most likely to overcome the temptation of the ring. Gandalf, Elrond, Galadriel etc. declined to take on the ring because they thought they would be unable to resist the temptation to use it.
Also, the elves had departed from the affairs of men after the Last Alliance (it wasn't call the _Last_ one for no reason). Many of them had already departed Middle-Earth; there were only a few left and they certainly had no plans to engage in a war.
Not at all!
It generated so much anticipation when it was still Slash-style rumours and whispers back in 1997 (or earlier) that they were thinking of making LOTR movies.
The reason is simply because the source novels are by far and away the greatest fantasy work of all time (in fact, they created the genre), and it has won countless large readers' polls as Best book of all time.
If a terrorists is willing to murder several thousand people, I don't think he is going to have any compunction about using illegal cryptography.
Compusory backdoors means that law-abiding citizens lose their privacy, and criminals are unharmed (or perhaps even have their position improved, because their target companies are all now backdoored).
Does the routing work well, and support portforwarding?
I've spent dozens of hours trying to get LRP working, and it's still rather scratchy and ipmasqadm doesn't work (2.9.8 with 2.2.16). Nobody is supporting it anymore; and the other similar distros (LOAF, floppyfw, etc.) don't have NAT and portforwarding at all.
I would have thought that LRP etc. was something that more people would have an interest in maintaining..
I saw a TV show about 10 years ago where a bunch of Chinese guys were doing them in about 25 secs each; they had a lineup of fifteen or twenty on a table and he got through it in five minutes.
Actually, this story reminded me more of the episode where there was a worldwide wireless "internet", but it talked directly to human brain via neural methods. Apart from the handful of people who were unreceptive to it, everybody could just download information to the brain whenever they wanted. Dont know how to speak French? zzzip.. learned.
As it happened, the system got a virus that started killing people with information overload , and the "retards" that were unreceptive to it managed to save the day by getting in and fixing the system (and discovering true love at the same time, or something).
Heh, the T.C. series are some of my favourite books. All of that author's books plumb depths of the characters' personal anguish to gain victory, so if that isn't your sort of thing then don't go for it. I also recommend his "Gap" series.
This'll give the sailors something to do in those boring hours between journeys then..
I also wasnt aware that there were ships using Linux now.. I guess that erases the following scenario: "Yes.. just one more bomb and we will win the war" "Doh"
He didn't make that assumption. LOTR is a standalone work and reading 'The Hobbit' first is totally unnecessary. An analogy might be to say that Unix knowledge is necessary if one is to learn Linux.
At first I found some parts of the story boring, but on future readings, it got more and more interesting. It turned out that the boring parts were the ones I did not understand at first. Now, the only boring part (for me) is Tom Bombadil, I never liked the guy anyway. I'm happy he hasn't made it to the movie..:)

How is re-writing fat32 going to change anything?
Prolog can't do everything that VBS can, what are you talking about?
.. they just go and fix it.
I don't see anybody complaining that running their Prolog files in Linux invokes Perl

I hope you have a 64bit cpu..:)
We're talking about named pipes here. It would be ambitious to generate a 15-long chain of named pipes :)

Maybe it did 30 years ago; everybody uses the American terms now.
If they use rabbit nerves, it will make a beeline for the internet and connect to pr0n, instead of doing anything practical
The bad guy in that episode was Denis Leary >:)

What a load of fucking bullshit.
Few things pissed Tolkien off more than people inventing allegory and claiming his work fits it.
