No one needs porn. They're either addicted to it, or like it and are addicted to it. It's a chemical addiction, and those chemicals come from you. There are four of them and when I get back I'll post a reply to what they exactly are. But you people who say you "need" porn and that it's not harming anyone seriously need to get a grip on reality.
And no, this isn't a religious rant. It's realism. I don't even have a religion.
I couldn't. Unfortunately, unless I have a need for something I don't offhand remember how to get support for something of that nature. I know slackware will be good as they have good support for a whole array of languages and encoding types.
I haven't seen this anywhere, but how much work would it take http://www.dillo.org/ to run on a mobile device?
Straight from their page:
# Dillo is small: source is less than 400 KB, and the binary is around 350 KB ! # Dillo aims to be a multi-platform browser alternative that's small, stable, developer-friendly, usable, fast, and extensible.
I don't do much coding, but wouldn't it be trivial to take such a small code base and use it for the phone or pda? They have it available for the iPaq here It looks like clean code to me. just a thought.
I would love to point people to OOo, but it's just too damn big. To import all kinds of word processor file formats and stay hard is really that difficult? What on earth justifies a 100+MB download for an office suite when AbiWord does it for so much less?
If OOo were much smaller I'm positive people would migrate much faster but they can't be bothered to download 100+ MB's of stuff for what they can copy from work or family.
Hitching up with Apple would provide IBM with a real inroad into the fast growing 'lifestyle' market, something the men and women in blue suits kind of missed. Perhaps most of all, it would be a way for IBM to get even with Microsoft for all that bad blood over the early versions of Windows, which IBM partnered in, and apparently accidentally part-funded. Remember that what IBM got out of that for its money was an operating systems that chairman Gerstner famously named Warp, which turned out to be the speed at which it hurtled into oblivion.
I can see teh future of IMB/APPLE laptops being the new chic. High class execs and those that want the style and performance of IBM/APPLE will buy these. Hot damn, I can picture this being the downfall of Microsoft. Now I'm not one to point a finger at anything *nix or not and proclaim the death of MS, but with this I can see it actually happening within the better half of a decade.
Off topic? This is more insightful than anything. Consider what sensible action this government of theirs has taken regarding one of the best tools mankind has ever had for the retrieval and dissemination of information! Yes there are bad things that we don't want our kids to be viewing at an age where they don't comprehend things as we do. Sure violence and certain types of sexual innuendo may be inappropriate for young kids to view because of their inexperience and easily molded minds, where they may become confused and not interpret things correctly as we, their parents, would have taught them correctly.
[HERO] is definitely not off topic. You mods certainly are.
holy cow! why don't the post these little handy tricks in a doc that's simple to read (no I'm not talking about reading the code or a badly formatted online html doc). Most people don't know what a caret is, besides teh ones you eat.
In WinXP - why, when you click anywhere in the browser that's not a text box, do you get a blinking cursor? And, how do you turn it off? In W2K/98x this doesn't happen at all, but in XP it really ticks me off. I can't get rid of it or find it in the about:config area.
No. I don't want the government regulating research (or internet2). I don't want the public internet being regulated by the government more than it is. OR by companies. Let them work out technological methods to getting it right.
Sorry, but from the moment you were able to put a music CD into a computer the genie was let out of the bottle. There's not a single way to put it back in now. Sorry, it's just too late.

is it just me, or is IBM living up to their old nickname of "evil empire" a little too much for comfort? I don't know about you, but personally this freaks me the heck out. - Seriously, look at one of the IBM logos here. Doesn't that remind you of this???
Yeah - AT&T may be a little closer, but as far as memory serves, they don't have the AT&T Imperial Walkers. Though, you could suggest that their storm troopers would be massive amounts of retarded lawyers who think they can do something when in reality it's more quantity than quality. "Think" all white uniforms in the forest moon of endor... sheer stupidity!
That's usually because of the very vocal minority here on/. I've always supported intel over amd, and nVidia over ATI simply because they "just work" and have always "just worked" under MS-Windows and Linux. But, since I've run linux mostly with hardware like this, and my opinion is unpopular with most of this crowd I get modded down into oblivion.
The underdog is in my experience almost NEVER better than the "big boys" unless there is OBVIOUS flaws in their software that causes widespread problems whether they're small or big.
Maybe it's just me, but smaller hardware vendors in my recent and distant past have great ideas and product goals, but the quality isn't there.
Oh hell. I thought for a minute AFOL was your way of cursing "America Fucking On-Line" as if there were not better alternatives where you lived. Thank goodness b/c I was wondering what this was doing on a discussion about Legos. HAHA!
For a minute there, I read that as NASCAR. Dear lord, all we need are hicks going that fast. They can't even keep the cars from crashing, how are they supposed to stop and stay alive? Wait... that's the secret.. never mind! Move along, nothing to see here!
This might seem off topic, but I like how being American has become synonymous with "wasteful and willful negligence" as well as corporatism and greed. I am an American and this is what I am building, as has my family:
If it is not broke, do not fix it.
Be able to pay off your credit card in full each month.
Debt is bad; avoid it at all costs, sans emergencies.
Do not spend simply because you have an excess of cash - emergencies are not cheap.
Insurance may cover that slight fender bender, but if you can fix it yourself or leave it you will be doing your premiums and your actual monthly insurance cost (by keeping it lower) a favor.
There may be an "I" in family, but do not spend like it.
This is probably unpopular with the consumerism trend and the encouragement of our government to "spend, spend, spend" to keep our economy strong and it is just a total farce. I swear the economy can do much better if based on something other than the revolving debt of our society. Now back to the main point: You do not "need" the latest hardware, software or gadgets. However, damn it they sure are fun!
More on topic, I sure did get your sarcasm. Your point does register with me 100%. It's a shame that too many people aren't like this in their own practice of financial sensibility and responsibility.

Does this count the same as anyone from GNAA?
Or because it's CAML, will it be allowed? Please tell me what to flame!
Thanks for this tip, I didn't even consider it or knew what it did. Thanks again!
