Time will tell how useful they are. Hopefully they will be, maybe they won't be. Bravo for the effort by MS though.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/xml/rss/sse/ reads pretty much like an IETF RFC. MS have done some thinking and given their ideas to the public internet. Good for them.
Interesting. It's the opposite in the UK. I've never had the need to use AIM or Yahoo, but I've got nearly 100 messenger contacts. In fact Messenger is something that you must have installed on some projects I've been on.
It's a badly worded comment, but the intention is correct.
C02 released from burning biodiesel was already in the Earth's carbon cycle. It's like if you were to burn a tree; you're not introducing any new C02 into the Earth's system.
The C02 released from fossil fuels was not previously part of the carbon cycle. It was stored away underground as oil or coal.
I never bother with this 'search' feature you're talking about. If you just wait a few days then whatever it is you were looking for finds its way back to the front page.
Screen is wonderful for command line stuff, and I use it daily. Does anybody here know if there is a conceptual equivalent for X? I want to be able to fire up an X session at home, disconnect from it but leave the clients running, and then reattach to it from elsewhere. Ideally I'd want it tunneled over ssh.
I'm sure I'm not the first person to want to do that.
On the Mac, Software Update grabs the latest iPod firmware updates automatically. Not sure how it goes on Windows
Good timing. I use Windows and it happened to my iPod mini just last week. The great thing is, I couldn't tell you exactly what happened as I wasn't concentrating at the time. I just remember iTunes saying something about an update and me clicking 'Next' a few times. Certainly didn't have to do any 'make configure; make install; go-to-newsgroup-and-get-flamed' nonsense
To the nearest few percent they are trustworthy, even with your Opera install skewing the figures.
We need to remember that people who do unusual things with unusual browsers are an incredibly small fraction of all internet users. The message of the article is that there's very rougly a 8/1/1 split between IE, firefox and 'other'. That message is not affected in the slightest by Opera, lynx or any other niche browser.
I imagine BBC is higher than most in the Mozilla-bred catagory, as the BBC News site has posted lots of articles about Firefox over the years.
I doubt it makes much difference. The BBC news site is read by a lot of Normal People who either couldn't care less about what browser they're using, or have no power to change it because it's a work computer.
I'm really surprised that firefox has such a high share. Of course there have been similar stats released by sites like i-am-a-1337-linux-doodz.com and windoxxors-is-teh-suxxors.com, but to get them from a mainstream site like the BBC must be very encouraging for the developers

Vim 6.4 Released
·
· Score: 2
New users shouldn't be using vim.
This might sound like a really elitist thing to say, but if the thought of spending a day or so learning it puts people off vim, then they probably wouldn't get the benefits anyway. I edit code all day every day, so the week or so it took me to learn what I know has been paid back many times over. The rest of the linux world might be going for ease of learning in order to increase the userbase, but vim isn't.
There are plenty of more intuitive editors out there that are probably far more suited to their needs. Kate for KDE is quite nice. Vim is a niche power-user's tool that fills a particular gap.

For my bunghole.
No American I've ever encountered has the slightest idea what 'bollocks' means (are you the first?). I think it's just not in their vocabulary.

AIM and yahoo combined must have about 10% of the total traffic of MSN Messenger.

That's the key difference.
Hehehe. That brought a chuckle to my morning, thankyou :)

eh?
Google answers my own question. It's called xmove
Screen is wonderful for command line stuff, and I use it daily. Does anybody here know if there is a conceptual equivalent for X? I want to be able to fire up an X session at home, disconnect from it but leave the clients running, and then reattach to it from elsewhere. Ideally I'd want it tunneled over ssh.
I'm sure I'm not the first person to want to do that.
No. It's the second time ever. The first one was a few days ago.
Why have we gone from version 4 straight to 6? Is there such a thing as IPv5, and if so, how does it differ from versions 4 & 6?
Really, it's true. Salts in the bloodstream or something.

That's not a problem with linux; you take what X decides is good for you and thank your lucky stars if you don't have to edit your config file ;)
Why would I pay for yesterday's news? heheh, I wish you had a little subscriber star by your username ;)
Only old Windows use Korea?
I am absolutely sure that exactly 50% of all workers don't perform above average.

Old people tend to buy the paper and blame X on young people, immigrants, single mothers, etc.
The rest of us find it a reliable source of entertainment.
