I have used Solaris on both SPARC and x86 since the dawn of SUN. I have also used Linux since version 0.92 of the kernel, i.e more than 10 years...
There is not much left in Solaris that you can't find in Linux. Esp when you look at the x86 version. I would rather say that Solaris for x86 is a good thing for SUN shops that want to standarize on Solaris. for the rest of us, it does not bring anything new to the table. There are some features in the SPARC version that would be nice in Linux, but they are very SUN dependent and does not implement easy on other architectures. Else I would say Linux has caught up nicely to most commercial *NIX'es (I also work regularly with AIX, HP-UX, IRIX and various other flavours).
It would really be interesting to see what the moonbats think Linux need from Solaris x86.
My ISP has a good and fast USENETserver, I always get max speed. Some groups have low retention, but I have an unlimited commercial USENET server for $14.95 a month. And quite frankly if I could not afford $15 a month extra, I could not afford to have a PC and a broadband connection anyway. Bitorrents are also based on you sharing by uploading in order to get speed, hence you are per definition a sharer. Continue to enjoy your filesharing, moving from one protocol to another in order to stay ahead of the 4 letter acronym orgs looking to get your cash.
Here is how to:
A. Reduce cost of the program
B. Ensure the technology works
C. Reduce the budget deficit
D. Keep illegal immigrants outside the borders
And finally
E. Keep the pockets of the corps full
If you had bothered to follow news, you would have known that bittorrent is the next thing that will fall as napster, kaza etc did. In fact, it has already started. I prefer to use USENET, higher speeds, no uploads, served me faithfully since the late 80's...
Only morons and AOL users would watch porn through a browser. How utterly inconvienient.. Seasoned vetrans get all their *uummm* "sexual education" from USENET.
Writing an OS is easy, writing Oracle Apps, SAP or Peoplesoft is much more complicated. Why? Simply because it has to be adapted to local laws in all countries it will be sold in, differences in accounting practices etc. You need patches for every country and every minor change in laws. You need support 24/7 since it is a vital product for most companies, withouit it running, you have no idea who owes you money and vice versa etc.

No, it just means that you are a porn freak!
Their suggestions is ofcourse based on earlier interests shown from your ip. So when you type capital P, google knows that you are not intereste in Paris, France but Paris Hilton and no, it's not a hotel!
Anything related to Apple here is worshipped by the Apple zealots. They are 10 times worse than Linux and Windows zealots. There is not one single thing with Apple that is negative. Apple is by definition great, no matter what they do.
I mean, using Windows is in itself a form of masochism, but installing a 5 year old OS which updates moves slower than a snail and is known for it's friendly and helpfull userbase, that is REAL masochism.
Most LV casinos have slot machines that give 100%+ payback. Not saying that you will not lose money, just that you need to chose the games that give the house the least edge over the player.
That is why you need to stay away from all the bad games. Only play on 100%+ payback systems or play where the house don't have the advantage.
When visiting Las Vegas, I always end up in the back where the high stakes poker tables are. You pay the rake to the casino and unload thick wads of money from other "unsuspecting" tourists who have seen poker on TV:) Never left Las Vegas without a nice paycheck, so to speak, but I never play slots, roulette or any other game designed to give the casino an edge. If you lose money in a casino, you have nodbody but yourself to blame. learn about the various games before you play and know which ones give the best chances of payback or stear clear of all the sucker games.
"If I complained and didn't work as much, they have 20,000 applicants to fill about 50 positions available."
That is exacty why regulations on how long an employer can demand that you work. Her comment is a typical example how corporations uses fear to keep employees overworked and underpaid. If anyone had told me that i had to work 7 days a week, 80-100 hour workweeks, I would have broken out in hysterical laughter, turned around and walked out along with a comment in the line of "Fuck you and this shitty company!"
Other civilized countries have regulations in place that protect the workers from beeing exploited like this. USA - land of the free... LOL Land of the salary slave, is a better moniker.
Sure, I'll be careful, it's not like I am not careful. I've had my drivers license since 1977 and have been driving stoned sporadically all these years. That is probably since before you were born.
Ok, I can comment on this... Sitting here waiting on a half of some good herb.
I never drink and drive. I promised myself that when I got my drivers license in 1977 and have kept that promise. Driving while stoned is totally different, you don't take chances, you are very careful when you drive and you tend to drive slower, not slow, but slower than when you are not stoned. I have no problems driving a car stoned, but I would never dream of driving one after drinking.
The problem with understanding this, is that you need to have been stoned and drunk in order to do so. That is when you realize the diffference in state of mind between beeing drunk and beeing stoned. I can do my job stoned, no problems, but after a couple of beers, there is no way in hell I could do it.

What's wrong with USENET?
Been around since the 80's and have a great selection of everything, and I really mean everything.
I looked at the file dialog and with the danger of beeing modded as flamebait, I have to say that it is some of the ugliest stuff I have seen.
The user error?
Buying a computer with MS Windows on it was the user error.

Joyous day! Finally I can get rid of Word! Isn't zwahili the language we all have been waiting on?
On a more serious note... Good job, any new language is welcome, more potential users!
Well, I guess you are new here?

Why are you punishing yourself?
I mean, using Windows is in itself a form of masochism, but installing a 5 year old OS which updates moves slower than a snail and is known for it's friendly and helpfull userbase, that is REAL masochism.
Why do you have this hang to punish yourself?
Not sure if you have been to a casino lately?

It's the rendering engine. It is responsible for rendering the pages correctly on your screen and should not impose a security risk.
shaking my head at an reviewer with too much spare time and no social life....You need to get out more....
Well, I've had some fender benders while driving sober and none when driving stoned. By using your logic, I should always drive stoned....

It never ceases to amaze how completly, utterly selfish and egoistic people in this frikin country is.
If I were OPEC, I would increase the cost of OIL to USA until they signed the treaty.
Why not? That normally works all the time for female journalists interviewing males. Been that way for years...
