to make and eat: Microwave eggs Place 1 or 2 eggs in microwave on high for 1 min, then eat. You can wait afterwards if it's too hot. Style can be varied by scrambling eggs (actually, you should cover any unpunctured yolks, as they can get a bit explosive) and periodically rescrambling them. Is much more comestible than it might sound.
testing has a serious security problem (security updates won't show up until about two weeks after they are packaged since they have to go through unstable first).
This is not quite right; according to http://security.debian.org/, and to my experiences, you can use apt to easily get the latest security updates. This requires a line such as
deb http://security.debian.org/ woody*/updates main contrib non-free
in your/etc/apt/sources.list file, and is no big deal. Mirrors do not exist, for security (my, what a coincidence!) reasons.
>It's *nix only That isn't fully correct. LizardTech provides encoders for Windows, although at a price. You're right that it doesn't have much support (notably a free Windows encoder), but JPEG2000 isn't widely supported either; no new format ever is. DjVu could go somewhere, although just where cannot be known yet.
For GNU/Linux, the link in the posting leads straight to a free software project DjVuLibre which handles the DjVu format (encoder, decoder, browser plugin, and standalone viewer). There doesn't seem to be a gimp plugin or any kind of editor. For Windows and Mac, LizardTech provides a browser plugin. I haven't seen it before either, but it seems to have potential.
Actually, according to Debian, they have two logos; one can be used by anyone for anything, while the other is under the "Debian Official Use Logo License," which is thus:
Copyright (c) 1999 Software in the Public Interest
This logo may only be used if:
the product it is used for is made using a documented procedure as published on www.debian.org (for example official CD-creation)
official approval is given by Debian for its use in this purpose
May be used if an official part of debian (decided using the rules in I) is part of the complete product, if it is made clear that only this part is officially approved
We reserve the right to revoke a license for a product
Permission has been given to use the official logo on clothing (shirts, hats, etc) as long as they are made by a Debian developer and not sold for profit.
Evidently, they too want a logo that can't be misused, although I haven't seen it much anywhere...
A point which keeps getting brought up is that of the potentially prohibitive $200 price of a Simputer. However, this can be addressed in many ways, of which subsidy would be one. Another has been included in the project itself; they would run on "Smart Cards", and thus 1 or 2 could satisfy a whole community, assuming they had not used it before. Of course, I do not know how much a smart card would cost, but I assume (hopefully correctly) that they have been designed to be cheap, light, and small. (Rural families without massive personalization (.profile, etc.) do not actually need very much data on the cards.)
Yes... that one's at ThinkGeek and is somewhat stylish and water-resistant. This one is a lot cheaper, less stylish, and not very water-resistant. Take your pick.
Gnu Foo Gates would be quite a personage ridden with internal conflicts... any Gnu Foo or Foo Gnu is geeky and good, as long as you don't name them Ransom.
But wait... upgrading packages in GNU/Linux is just easy as in Windows (although less obvious): apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade Oh, wait, I forgot that not everyone uses Debian. What a shame...
>Forget the class and just take a basic class on spelling and grammer!
I'll see you "their!" Don't forget about that "grammer" part. There is evil afoot, and Oxford and Webster have conspired to delude you into believing that there is no such word as "grammer." Take no heed! Sally forth!
Hmmm... I underwent some similar (analogous) experiences using CSS floats and text-HTML-ing on my linux box, periodically checking with Mozilla and the W3C Validator; it was all standards-compliant (heck, half the CSS codes I learned off the spec).
I leaned back with satisfaction, only to find that MSIE still hasn't implemented (OK, fine, no MSIE I saw tried in any way to display) CSS fixed boxes. Actually, if you load up the W3C CSS page itself, on Mozilla, the navbar floats semi-transparently, the way it's supposed to, but on MSIE, it sits there, creating the impression that the W3C has bad web site designers.
A friend of mine kept nudging me and telling me how great MSIE CSS support was, and when I showed him the page along with the spec, he spent a half-hour searching for my non-existent coding error...:)
