This is one of those things where things have got confused. These 2 facts coinside:
- If you've used your computer for longer then you are likely to have discovered a new browser. - If you've used your computer for only a short time you are experiencing run away popups and all that you get when you click an AD.
^ combine these 2 and remove how you made the connection and you can make it seem like firefox users are just tight.
Don't descriminate against firefox users! I expect the same could be said to any non-windows browser, and any browser that isn't installed already with PCs you buy at Walmart and PC world.
I'd prefer to be able to use it while it loads the bigger things like plugins in the background.
Waiting (about 30 seconds?) is a pain when you only want to edit an 16 pixel icon especially.
p.s. aren't message boxes also awful too, interrupting work and stealing focus... oh, I had typed more but lost it all after gimp loaded up and changed focus while I was typing and looking at keyboard.
- price / performance ratio; divide one by the other - the future; what might be coming out soon? - compatibility; if you upgrade one bit you then have to upgrade the rest / similar
In general this is the biggest logistical problem the average joe has to face... especially when you factor in emotional disapline like "the longer you wait for an upgrade the cheaper it gets".
3) Set up trade links with various countries entering only into liberal agreements (i.e. not "We will only trade with you if you uphold out patent and copyright laws)

Dorm rooms are very, very bad for getting things stolen.
1) Get insurance just for this dorm year at least
2) Lock door, even when going to loo! I had my minidisc stolen this way; gone for 20secs
3) If you have a bike sell it and get a cheap one; I had my bike stolen, left for 10mins 500 yards between my friends in the pub and myself, locked up with an (only) average padlock.
4) Don't leave anything in kitchen. Maybe even food...
5) Remember everything you own is a liability. This is why all this slashdot gear is weighing you down. Like the film says, Let go.
My brother set up a relatives office internet connection for a _security company_. He felt he had to leave Windows running as admin so they can dial up the adsl.
What can I say? My bro's lazy. Not does he feel *nix can't work with the computer ignorant in the office (problem no.1), but he's also not even doing the windows solution properly.
Someone type a message here to sort him out!
(His responses to me have been: - they won't understand linux (do they have to; they only need to read emails and visit web AFAIK - that's kiosk stuff) - I can't get it to dial without admin)
The patent office always favours the body with the most money. It literally awards more power to those who already have it. This is because:
- you need money to pay for the patent(s) - you need money to contest a patent(s)
This goes against all the efforts of the Dept. of Fair Trading etc whos goal is to give a level playing field to the benefit of fair competition and thus economic benefit.
Microsoft really can come along and patent other peoples work if there is no one funded body willing to risk opposition it. And so they will.
Trying to contest every little patent like sudo isn't a real answer. We all know that the patent system needs to be dealt with; either destroyed or made equal to all by everyone paying for it equally (if we feel it's that important).

Make 2 copies of every disk? Manual raid

What I think everyone needs is CBQ.
So that you can say
"Prioritise this IP(and/or port), if not then share bandwidth equally"
Would a managed switch at least share bandwidth fairly?
I have CBQ on my smoothwall box but I'm finding it baffling - it should work but it isn't and so forth.
A default script that shares bandwidth equally would do everyone wonders.
I can't believe people are still walking into `the other room` and saying "Can you stop that download please?"
It should be built into every connection!
"Go figure out what you like doing, and do it."
Could you expand on this. Because I can't, believe I never will. It seems people either know or they don't.
I am a very forgetful person.
But I know an excellent method of remembering passwords.
I could tell you,

which explains the respect. Executive is inappropiate for business founders and especially so when love istead of money is the goal.
Unlike (perhaps all) the others though torvalds power is very different to the usual executive power eh?
Most respected boss?
Anyone heard of a company as sensitive to the whole community as linux? (not retorical; I want to work there!)
Very interesting thread eh?

Oh by the way, it breaks cables unless you put something between the sharp motherboard and the cables.
Tried it at work (make PCs sometimes), and the bios couldn't see the harddrive; it has mashed the cable.
Also, you have to take the motherboard out to replace the cable.

Bluetak; used for everything from McGyver repairs to posters.
Interesting.
Anyone else set their sensitivity really low for games (3 in Halflife), so easier to aim - it makes sensitivity less useful.
Sometimes it seems like the rest of the world is moving thier move tenths of a millimeter while I'm moving mine inches.
Anyone else like thier sensitivity low?
