The major control on sleeping is not light but food intake.
So when you try to stay up you eat more food than you need to stay awake. You find it hard to sleep on an empty stomach so you end up sleeping on a full stomach; bad.
Sometimes you just have to pay for something to get on. If it were up to me I wouldn't bother buying clothes but if I did that no one would talk to me. Cars are a better example.
For me pay for software is practically, ecomically and idealogically not an option.
If I add up the value of software I desire it's more than my wage! That is, if I bought Windows XP instead of using my university license, if I used CubaseSX instead of Kristal, and ditto to all the program on my both windows and linux computers too.
If I had to pay for things like Apache, Samba, ssh I'd just have to try and live without them. Humans are too expensive to pay to program on my wage.
I do believe if Cubase and similar programs were not available as warez then we'd have worse music around. I feel a lot of people feel like this. We are materialistic but spending money on the invisible doesn't seem quite right. Imagine how I would be now if I had, in the end, paid ~£300 for Real3D on the Amiga! Spending money like that on the invisible is just not futureproof.
The most popular way to sell to a market is to build up Interlectual Property, build up a name and sell quality because then you're selling the invisible and not something real. Think Nike, Ferrari, Dolca and Gabbana, and... BSD. A preconception is built up. People recognise this and see it as the expensive route. Sometimes we give in to love and by that fast car but we know we've been bad and recognise `selling the invisible` for next time. But selling software is selling the invisible also and this is why it's so hard to do. The answer is simple: DON'T SELL SOFTWARE!
So it's often an easy decision for me.
I only use pay for software if there is no alternative and even then I prefer to abstain as I have done many times in the past. I have paid but only when I've had no choice and I need it to get things done and I grumble badly each time.
I will break the pattern if it's work related and can help me make the money back.
Other things I've given up because I feel they're a waste of money:
- programs such as Smart for linux (may change if I can make a job out of it), 3D software, music software - films in many forms - a lot of music but not all - nice cars - nearly all computer gaming except for half life based games which I got given
These are made harder by societys pressure to waste money on tradenames like Peugeot hatchbacks.
What I haven't given up yet:
- some designer clothes. My heart is too attached, it's only a bit more.
I had 4 iceWM virtual desktops, usually with IRC, browser, file manager, term, root term, downloading program.
I also have: F12 = maximise window F11 = tile windows alt-c = close window alt-x = run program alt left/right - change desktops
I found gimp a royal pain because I have to take my hand off the mouse to switch between desktops... just to change tool. It's alright but not for quick editing. I'd rather have the main window present all the time and that's hard to do when the main gimp window (open when first loaded) is awkward to resize; you can't just have it at the bottom of the screen like a toolbar.
Never the less I'll try what you suggest - wish I'd known about it earlier!:D
It gets worse for me though.
I now use a Windows box in the bedroom with an Xserver on it and keep the noise linux server box in another room. I use this silent windows box in my bedroom to connect through and run linux progs while also able to play games. Now when I use gimp I'll have to figure out how to do virtual desktops - use nvidia's virtual desktop thing or run icewm over remote X. Thing is I can only use icewm's hotkeys if it is in focus! Guess I'll have to look into 3rd party explorer replacements.
It gets better...;)
I also run VNC because I need some graphical programs running all the time... then the whole thing goes out the window!
Newspapers are being replaced with something that is:
1) Free to us 2) Not cutting down trees
Excellent.
It like saying "But we have to keep paying these programmers to make programs we could make ourselves with open source" or "Lets just keep paying these people even though we don't need them". Luddites didn't win in the end.
If you're losing you're job you should be made to accept it. Of course it's easier not to but from the collective point of view it's best for you to lose your job.
Same applies to outsourcing... assuming you feel a human is a human and not a human labelled U.S citizen...
Well, my grandad went to work at 14. I was deep thinking better than I can now at 11ish. Muslim kids have to memorise the Koran at ??. Jewish kids have to recite some massive part of Torah at 13/14.
+ the quotes are out-takes
Admit that 11 is a bit young, by perhaps 1 or 2 years.
I think we have a funny view of adult/kid boundaries though.
Was looking at my baby cousin earlier today and thinking "If only I could think like you, if only for a bit". And some people always do.
I used to love that Star Wars game. Still love vector graphics. Yum.
"Then why is Zangief's place a Nazi place?" - "Bobby: Yes it is-it had a Nazi sign on the cement.
Parker: It couldn't have been. They wouldn't have let that in videogames.
Bobby: Whatever. ":D
"Parker: I like Mortal Kombat because it's bloody."
Slashdot Mirror
I've also wondered what would happen if a companies accounts were made public.
But dare not try it myself...
for we are the 18%
(in joey voice,)
I'm a woman!
I actually thought it was the other way round. My bad for poor definition of maths.
I am the ghost of that man who once walked. I curse thee capitalists
block everywhere
well, it would be useful to have source country flagged up
is the uk included I wonder hehe
I wonder if this now means IceWM is no longer the only WM where I can set F11 to `tile windows vertically`...
I may apply this to my daughter.
I then relised this is reality..
Another time I started work at a warehouse and noticed an overseeing box overlooking the whole warehouse. First thing I thought was
"Wow, that would be great with a sniper rifle. You could aim down every isle"

I believe the license allows non profit free software only.
So competitors are locked out?
Cheapest I found was ~£170 though.
Can be extended very far, i think 200m+. Not DVI though.
If surveillance is present and justified then it shouldn't matter if we all can see it right if there's nothing to hide? ;)
How can we search my locality other than site:.uk for example?
Anyone found any UK webcams? Best I've seen so far is an Irish one.
One of my local town centre would be handy!
Why not all IP treated the same?
I'm suprised Stallman takes a halfway house!

better buy my dad some oakleys to replace the standard top gun affair style shades
I'll have to have another try with gimp.
:D

Shame there aren't results based on political parties.
Though I expect the results will be as I expect them too and voting doesn't seem to count for much anyway.
Wierd the way they decided to code for win32 when they could have done it web based eh?
As with the firewall it's best to bundle software with your OS so you can control things.
Internet Explorer and MS Messenger being 2 examples that stand out. The kernel and the environment itself is another...
More than an OS, a virtual police empire.
Pay us taxes or we'll class your software as spyware Mr. Stallman.
Nice.
Couldn't be done with paper - too much everything.
Don't think it will work well though due to the usual human I/O problem.
If it did speech recognition -> text -> english and back again,
or text translation using a mini handheld scanner with OCR it might be amazing, but for the moment it's probably just a quicker dictionary.
All the japanese students I know have electronic dictionaries. `Flicking through pages?`
If you do fill your cavities with similar such stuff spare a thought for the cable droppers eh?
nah. Can't be bothered to nuke/dig/TNT the top of the most unstable island bit by bit.
Out of site. Out of mind.
in this story:
"bring him down."
^ usually in this sort of thing they talk of
`ways to defend oneself` and `defending your business`
so it's a bit over sensational don't you think
