You sound like someone who would enjoy the story of my recent legal battle (though it didn't take place in the courts - it was an employment standards dispute). Sadly, I haven't had a chance to sift through the reams of documents to come out with a summary of the whole thing.
Sufficeth to say, I kept my cool, and the other party (a person/company who never paid me for some work I did) did not. And then he got a law firm on his side, and *still* lost.
It has long been known in the corporate environment that the time it takes to flip up your keyboard and check your password is about the same time it takes for H.R. to accuse you of inefficiency and give you your walking papers.
Therefore, in the interest of job retention, it is most prudent to scrawl the passwords onto the monitor screen using white-out, in the approximate location where they would be typed in to the input box.
You are wrong, as the above AC noted. The "&&" is a logical AND operator - each command executes, finishes, and then based on the exit code, the shell decides whether to execute the next one or stop executing them altogether.
The thing I like about Google News' new features is the ability to create a custom block based on keywords. The first thing I did was to create one for Firefox, and then one for Thunderbird. That's how I found out that Thunderbird 1.0.1 is almost out.
There was one small bug in the interface, I've reported it and also found a workaround, so it's all good.
Anyway, my point is: if MyYahoo has the custom block (based on a keyword or phrase) feature, then it's hideously buried, because in my five years of using MyYahoo, I've never seen it.
The support model also covers customization and installation; if one company requires a specific feature, they can pay the money and have it implemented.
Another 'FOSS' way of making money is declaring the codebase free for noncommercial use - like MySQL - and, although the product is open source, charge for commercial usage of it (i.e., when it is bundled with other commercial products or used in a production environment).
If you mean Thunderbird, you haven't tried it on 10.3.8 - the issues* will be fixed in Tiger, though.
*(A friend can't type anything into the To/CC areas of email in Thunderbird in 10.3.8 - could be 3rd-party related, but I think other people have had a similarly distasteful experience)
When I heard of this the first time, it sounded like an astoundingly simple way of circumventing the system - due to poor programming. However, it was presented to the majority of these students as a 'hack' so they could get access to the supposedly secure data. They weren't being all innocent, they were intentionally circumventing it based on brookbond's instructions.
I would be willing to entertain the notion, however, that one or two got the 'hack' via IM, and thus didn't know that it was presented as such. There's a chance it could have been presented as some sort of 'oh, look, my acceptance counsellor showed me this' hidden feature. But I think that would only be the case in one or two instances, if any.
If they can't wait a month to find out if they got in or not, how well do you think they'll stand up to the ethical quandry involved in an opportunity for insider trading?
Even if it was a simple hack, it was presented as a hack (a means of circumventing the system), therefore they weren't just lemmings - they were black sheep.
That's the point, it doesn't matter. Some editor saw this in the queue, approved it, and thought that it meant Google had been caught with their pants down.
Ever since the IPO, there's been about a 50/50 mix of positive/negative commentary regarding Google - before, it was about 75-80% positive. I get the feeling that some people have their button on the trigger, itching for Google (the "Tech Darling") to make a mistake, so they can be crucified.
Another possible interpretation of this situation is that maybe the keyword-laced page in the cache was simply an earlier version of the existing page - in other words, maybe the whole thing is working exactly like a cache should.
Well, if it's random, you have a 1 in 100 chance of getting it for each click. After fifty clicks, that's a 50% chance of having got it.
And (assuming you put music on your device that you find enjoyable), odds are that eventually you'll it an intermediate song that you can listen to on the path to your desired song.

Prince knows a ton about Eunuchs. What did you think 'When Doves Cry' was about?
... and what did tornados hit BEFORE there were trailer parks?

Damnit. Now I'm thinking of 'Survivor - Eye of the Tiger'. Why oh why did you have to say "Go the distance"? :)
A lot of people end up making the mistake of hurting their own case by getting abusive or even insulting and thus ruin their position.
It's absolutely astounding, the sheer number of people who don't realize that.
This sounds like a perfect Penny Arcade comic. Okay, you be Tycho!
... and people thought that Firefly's copious use of the word 'moon' was just a writer's fancy ... :)
... click away! And don't forget to watch the movie in September! :)

Sounds like you want to sleep with him.
Out of curiosity, what software do you use for your blog? Did you custom build it?
You've never seen Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo, or Shrek, have you?
I have a rock here that wards off Tigers. People say it doesn't work ... but I don't see any tigers!

I second that. :)
'Not playing fair' can be interpreted as 'true capitalism' for large amounts of 'not playing fair'.
I do not believe that Voyager nor Pioneer are receiving commands at this time.

Look up the words "nueé ardente".
All I got was some porn. Blech.

rofl :) That's hilarious :)
Perhaps I should have said "navel". I meant Finger, though.

The whole thing is FUD, IMO.
