Sure dieting works but hyped for money; getting down the gym really makes the difference...if you can.
If only sitting in front of this bloody computer gave me the physical kicks that gym does. I feel pasty.
For example - if you eat nothing but oily fish you'll lose weight. I bet you can't put on weight NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU EAT. So, for gods sake why not eat the stuff - take advantage!
aggh I have to pay to use computing facilities rather than buy. the confusion of it all, the insecurity of liberty:o
sounds cool, is it free?
as a sighted person I want more of this

ok, it costs $5k.
But lets be honest, outside the world of vision, with monitors, LCD screens and so forth there hasn't been hardly any headway made for the other senses.
I'd like to see this stuff on my Zaurus, on my keyboard, on the TV and everywhere.
Citizen Swift A3 printer, dot-matrix: still working (10-15years old) Citizen Swift 9 Pin: still working 3x Citizen Swift Colour 24pin: 1 broken rest still working (8-10 years old?)
HP Bubblejet: too expensive to repair after 2 years Unisys Laser: works but unreliable/tempermental
Citizen C60: jammed 1 month, ink cartridges have to be hacked to be economical
I only converted to InkJet due to noise anyway. I still prefer dotmatrix when possible! It's crazy.
If you can keep them going buy old printers, good refillable InkJets seem to be like gold dust here (south uk) and there's still even a market for ribbon cartridges too after more than a decade!
It just comes across as massive price fixing to me, even if it's not I'm still not happy with what is available for the money these days.
- Windows vs Linux isn't a fair comparision (utility gets confused with OSS and more, cathedral and bazaar)
- yes, linux isn't even good at quite a few things. no, I don't care - there's Macs and Windows.
- well, i suppose I would like linux to be better but my personal perference is fragmentation over intergration right now, since I use it in liberal setting.
"though Windows migration isn't like-for-like I agree, for example: in terms of doing permissions a migration from Novell to linux is really hard work - not in terms of deep level usability but common sense shallowness; not just clickability but consistancy.
Big problem facing OpenSource: Consistancy. It could be said that OSS will always be an eclectic mish mash, that this makes it great. True but fightable - it's just a tendancy. You can definately improve the situation by agreeing on standards and blah blah blah. But for this you need compromise and to accept 2nd best... I'm not sure many programmers want thier babies to be 2nd best.
I could blow on for ages about what linux/needs/ but that probably amount to a hill of beans - I feel I know what linux needs; if it was a company I'd improve the Server-Desktop setup for a start (so that Novell Distributed packages look laughable rather than better than linux for example). But linux/isn't/ a company, thus don't use linux if you expect company like stuff, certainly if you're not paying a company like RedHat.
If the author had paid the price of Windows on RedHat support then I'd consider that fair. At the moment it's just comparing cross-purposes.
Dang i love OSS, even people not using it are inspired to thought. "
since we're putting a price on thoughts, er I mean media might as well charge what we want eh?
chuck in the price to make a film, times it by the emotional guilt and resulting off-time from work that viewers have, just chuck it all in.
Ok, there is an agreement/before/ you pay for the media but that agreement is always vague - "Oh, yeah you can't resell it without the packaging because via advertising that's partly how we make our money."
- Need to patch kernel with a **usbdnet** patch; follow guide.
- this makes iptables masq/NAT'ing the Zaurus out to the internet a whole lot easier than Windows. Once masqueraded though you can then upload/download from and to the Z from any machine that can ping it - Windows, Mac or linux. It's just another machine on the network, albeit on a different subnet probably.
- in Windows Qtopia Desktop sync'ing app you can then try pinging the Zaurus's IP. If you can we can, then try filling that IP in under USB connection - even though it isn't connected via USB. It'll connect anyway?!
- however usbdnet patches are only available for a limited number of kernels, none at present are 2.5 series. Hopefully usbdnet will soon be appropriate to see in the kernel or be modulised (/me prays)
I have a feeling I've seen a tutorial somewhere on how to do this with the Gimp manually.... unfortunately I haven't a clue where to begin googling for it:/

2 rules I use to retain my non fat-bastardness:-
...if you can.

- put body to use
- feed body good stuff
Don't starve yourself, eat quality.

Thanks blind people, at least you make it happen.
but a record is worth nothing
lets make it up as we go along shall we?
for someone who loves the idea of free(er) public networks via wireless this is a stick in the throat :/
a minority ruins for the majority once again.
can't we get rid of open email and just use private acl's?
this is what I'm going to go for my next account.
It was costing £££ to keep it running, after ~1985 it was uneconomical. Was kept in service as a status symbol for BA and Britain.
:)
Odd how nothing can match it after 26 years still but then could say the same for the Harrier.
If something takes it's place it would certainly have to be 'big'

Remove IP. I'm sure now.
haven't forwarded the ports yet but according to the (experimental) Bittorrent IE Dialogue it's telling me it's working fine - upload + download :)
Impressive, haven't seen a p2p app do this b4. I heard forwarding the ports may help speed it though.
Having said all this I don't look after my gateway so iptables Conn-Track type modules may even be something to do with it for all i know.
From a progmatic point of view because patents and copyright / IP is a crazy idea:
What happens if we inforce the opposite of patents?
- enforce _no_ legal rights over any idea what-so-ever.
For example:
-> John Foo releases his song "How man patent office officials does it take to perpetuate a way of thinking".
=> Minny Buck rips off the lyrics backing them to a thumping club 4 on the floor done.
It's a hit, so she goes live making a killing $£$£.
-> John Foo gets miffed and tries legal stuff.
=> Law says "That's Foo mister Foo"
Plausable?
Ok, I've stayed up 2 late
just a short note, thanks for a sane post:
high feelings but no racial hatred and managed to avoid bickering in the face of provocation too
If Bittorrent _doesn't_ upload when behind NAT, could this be causing the download bottleneck?
- since Slashdotters are highly likely to be behind NAT?
Note to self:
click ANALOGUE copy and pay for nicer signal to noise quality with a better soundcard.

Shocking. Invade a country and then try to sell them mobiles :O :D Blimey.
I suppose the moral high ground would be to back a system that benefits the Coalitition nations least.
Large company goes round aggressively, even killing programmers to further thier cause.
Enter Milo and his mate, open source Linux wizz programmer who gets offered a Job at big company.
Not a great film but for anyone who knows anything about Microsoft or any of the other big Tech companies it's a right laugh.
But no body upon nobody has heard of the film, well at least not anyone I've spoke to.
I'm seriously beginning to wonder if Microsoft sued or simply pulled the strings to make it less successful!
If open code leads to better since security though obfustrication is no security.
- I feel flash has a use but a small use. Probably an over use in 90% of situations
- need an open/standard for vector images. Because flash is too big. How can I reuse and resize an image within a website??!
Does this mean the WAR will be over by 2006?
Perhaps a linux only p2p program of some sort would be a good idea.
Then you have linux users sharing files, so while there's less files available you're with like-minded people.
A win-win if there is another cross platform p2p network as well.
