I wish gmail would implement the same. I have even requested the feature.
I found a search result once that interested me and ended up at a Spanish forum. The forum was generic and I worked out that it said "You cannot read posts until you have registered". So I registered, read the english post, and never returned again.
I still get 20 emails a week in Spanish which I cannot read.
I stopped listening to people's Microsoft moans after blaster hit me.
"Don't install the Windows updates they crash your system!" rang the cries around here. "Don't install the service packs because they make your PC run slow!" said countless morons.
I listened and followed the Slashdot group-think. Never again, you lot can't be trusted.
Mod me flaimbait but some of the advice around here is dribble typed by wankers.
Vista sucks. Vista is great. Who the fuck knows at this early stage?
This will probably get lost in the mass of posts but I think a light net user is not what is used to be...
I recieved a single email from my dad the other day. The subject was "my new camera". Attached was a single photo measuring 7mb in size (about 3500x2500 pixels).
Next came another email "RE: my new camera". Attached was a photo slightly short of 6mb...
This went on for an hour or so. I'm guessing his ISP email has an attachment limit of 10mb. I'm guessing his new camera is of the 10 megapixel variety.
20 or 30 photos: 125mb.
I was gobsmacked. My 1.3 megapixel camera has served me nicely for years with it's 300kb pictures.
He _was_ a light net user.
It wouldn't take many days of him sending his garden photos until I reached a 5gb limit.
I'm glad to see that you still don't get April Fools day. Maybe next year you'll understand and just post one or two fake stories. I might even crack a smile then.
I think this was my shortest daily visit to Slashdot.
I used mahogany 15 years ago to build fullsized models of cars and their panels. Not once did I use rain forest mahogany because, wait for it, it was shite. The quality of rainforest mahogany is fine for cheap furnature but no good for anything else. We used sustainable wood 15 years ago and I'm sure most professionals still do.
Create a case mod out of rain forest mahogany and watch it split with the heat.
Phone: chances are that your phone won't work in all of the countries you're traveling to.
Phone: If you are not American then the chances of your phone working abroad is high. Get the cheapest Pay-as-you-go phone you can find in Asda Walmart. Roaming will be built in as standard. A new network will be found on arrival in your new destination.
In the UK there is no economic benefit in getting married. I've been with my partner 10 years and marriage does not float our boat. What possible reason is there for us to get married? So our daughter has a loving family? So she is OK in the eye's of God? Utter bollocks.
People do use condoms correctly. They don't break, they rarely split, never happened to me, never happened to anyone I know. It is often used as an excuse for an unwanted pregnancy... Never stretched one over your head as a laugh?.. C'mon, we've all had the cucumber and banana lessons at school, no?
Is this going to be a standalone application or is it going to compete with the hundreds of other online image editing applications?
I say hundreds and I do not lie. There are hundreds of online java and javascript image editors. Some of them are quite fancy. I have usde one or two of them in the past when visiting family locations where they have no suitable software available.
We do not need another online editor. I would be interested in downloading a small 50mb file to do basic functions though. Adverts or no adverts, I wouldn't care.
"To hear an artist on P2P, you need to search for them, either by name, or song title."
That's rubbish. There are hundreds of sites that list music in order of date release.
I have overtaken radio. I get every release in my choosen genre and listen to each one at least once. 99% of the tunes I listen to never get played twice.
I decide what's what. Music industry, you are redundant.
I did this with a UK football club. I signed up for a monthly newsletter because, funnily enough, I was interested in monthly news. All I got back was twice weekly spam email trying to sell me season tickets, clothes, posters and corporate functions.
I clicked the opt-out button on their website and nothing happened. I clicked again and nothing.
The final straw was when I got a duplicate email twice in the same day.
There were twenty names on their site. Adam Brown, Charlie Dunn, Eric Fuller, etc, and the golden Gill Heath.
A simple email called "TEST" was sent to everyone using the format FIRSTNAME.SURNAME@FOOTBALLCLUB.COM
I got an out of office reply from Gill Heath saying she was on maternity leave. Bingo.
The next set of emails contained BMP screenshots of the opt-out webpage.
I'm still using a P3 450. Boy, what a games machine that was when I bought it!
I rip DVDs to Xvid on it - 36 to 48 hours. Lower the priority of VirtualDubMod to idle and I can still play MP3s (Foobar2k), run DC, Trillian and Firefox.
New computers? pfffffft
PS. Can I have a silver medal? I'm getting bored of the gold ones.
"This way, the content companies can be jerks, and the player manufacturers have to work to get the player working again for the consumer (probably by sending out a cd with a new key or algorithm in it)."
Probably. Probably not.
1. Open the disk tray 2. Key 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 (or 0 + 0 + 0 + 0) on the remote. 3. Close the tray.
4. No more keys are needed.
Why would it be any different? So many DVD players are unlocked like this.
Have you tried downloading a full sized DVD and burning it?
Yes.
It sometimes takes me longer to unpack the RARs and burn it to a blank DVD-R than it does to download the DVD ISO depending on which PC I'm on (The P3 450 takes an age to unpack the RARs if someone's choosen the highest compression ratio.)
Why does everyone think BitTorrent is the fastest kid on the block?
DVD from U..... to hard drive in less than 60 minutes.
If you live in the UK don't bother paying for these type of bulbs. I have never paid for these bulbs. My whole house is kitted out with them and has been for ten years.
Power utilities must use some of their profit each year for energy saving. They must give their money away - the government says so. The easiest way for them to do this is with CFLs. Ask them for some free bulbs and they will provided them.
Local councils also give them away.
I've had some from the Salvation Army.
From the local school.
I know they are cheap these days but there is still no need to shell out cash.
You think Honda and Toyota don't have high labour costs?
I can't speak for Toyota but we have a Honda factory in my town and everyone who works there is highly paid. You want a high paid manual labour job in my town, you work at Honda.
Honda keep the costs down by using highly efficient production lines.
Slashdot Mirror
England? Really?
I've lived here for a third of a century and this is news to me.
It's not even tollerated here. Every Prostitute here, at one time or another, has been held up by The Fuzz. Giggedy giggedy.

Did you use your software to output those lovely GIF files on your website? 256 colours with a touch a dithering looks fantastic!
You have a lot to learn too.
I use VBA (Visual Basic Assembly). So easy, it's child's play.
What? I'm no idio...
I've posted this before and I'll post it again...

Silly Yanks and their backward ways.
Yes, true, because banner ads in the middle of TV programmes are so much better.
I saw taco on the TV once showing his 'admin' page. I beleive it already showed dupes at the bottom of the page... ...I guess it broke.
Who told you all that?
And you believed them too?

"what are they going to do when they try to make it in the workforce?"
They end with clinical depression.
Some of us cannot handle stressful situations beyond our control. Some of us are talented in other areas.
Like the AC said "100% bullshit".

Quick post:
If you live in the UK don't bother paying for these type of bulbs. I have never paid for these bulbs. My whole house is kitted out with them and has been for ten years.
Power utilities must use some of their profit each year for energy saving. They must give their money away - the government says so. The easiest way for them to do this is with CFLs. Ask them for some free bulbs and they will provided them.

I know they are cheap these days but there is still no need to shell out cash.
Slashdot says:
"So far the attack only works on Firefox, and doesn't appear to work in Opera or Internet explorer 7"
TFA says:
"I've tried the hack on IE7, Opera, and Firefox; it appears to be working on all three."
Got any jobs going? I could do nice armchair job at Slashdot. I'd be willing to work the full 3 hours a week.

I'm sure I've seen a Firefox Extension or Greasemonkey script that filters Roland's stories from the front page.
If there isn't one, and I've dreamed the whole thing, then it should only take 10 minutes to write one.
