Of course not, you just have to do a quick "rm -rf ~/.*" before you send your home directory to the backup computer. Just remember to "mv ~/.porn ~/porn" before you do that.
I haven't laughed until I cried in the longest time. I had just taken a open-book test in AP Java class (almost a second study hall) when I read this and couldn't stop laughing. I told my friend, who was hard at work cracking the adjacent computer, to read it and we both laughed for a good few minutes, drawing funny looks. Ahh, a beautiful post that should be in the hall of fame.
The Award BIOS on my MSI KT333 lets me use my USB keyboard. It even has options to emulate PS2 ports for USB ignorant OS's. The only software on my computer that doesn't talk USB is LILO and I don't care enough to see if there is a patch or change it.
Windows 1.0 Windows 2.0 Windows 3.0 Windows 3.1 -- Break in continuity -- Windows 95 Windows 98 -- Break in continuity -- Windows ME (1204) Windows 2000 Windows XP (2315) Windows 2003
Tomaintain is not a typo. It is a new kind of fruit -- the cross between a tomato and a plantain. The extra 'i' is due to the redneck farmers (read: Homer Simpson) who created it. Sort of like tomacco, but not addictive. I just wonder what tomaintains have to do with Victoria's Secret.
The way I read it is that the company doesn't want competitors to use the company trademark in their ad or webpage. For example: AMD could make an ad or webpage that says "AMD Athlon 128 tm processors are 38% more powerful than Intel Pentium 11 tm processors" which would show up on a Google search for "Pentium 11" but, when clicked, would direct a person to the AMD website. However, the way Google works, the ad would be search result 298, past the reviews and definately past the company websites. So, I don't agree with this ruling, but then again, I don't live in France.
Okay, I've not tried to get the ATI drivers for my card, but when I was using a GeForce 2 MX 200, I did download the NVIDIA drivers and I had little trouble getting them to work. I may eventually try to find the ATI drivers but I'm in no hurry.
I guess that has me beat. But still, I was showing my Mac Wheenie friend my system and I was browsing the web, downloading a.MOV onto my dad's computer by way of my computer using Samba, compiling my kernel, watching TV (I cheated -- I used overlay), and playing Oggs at the same time in GNOME 2.2. My system is about the same as yours: Athlon 1.33GHz, 256MB RAM. Considering that his PowerPC is ten years old and will never run MacOS > 9.1 and the printer driver requires an animal sacrifice to keep it from crashing the computer, he was impressed.
I think that it is so unnatural to see 30 fps video where the voiceover doesn't match the mouths, while at 15 fps you can't really tell the difference. My brain always hurts when watching a dub of live action like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon but I can't tell the difference for Anime.
I've only seen Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke, but I think the voicecasting has been pretty good. Chihiro's parents sound rather different, but they are minor characters anyway. The Japanese Kamaji has a much raspier voice than the English one. And Jigo in Princess Mononoke is not quite the same. But Billy Crudup as Ashitaka was a really good choice.
Princess Mononoke's dub has one song that is translated into English, which is probably the biggest thing that bothered my about the dubbing. In Spirited Away they didn't dub the ending song and posted a translation instead. I think the Mononoke dubbing is pretty decent with minor details changed and a few vulgarities inserted (Jigo says "This tastes like donkey piss" instead of "This tastes like hot water" or something like that).
like my friend who jokes that he has a 5.6 kbps modem. It is indeed 56 kbps, but his phone lines are so bad that, on a moist day, he can't even connect. Of course this is the same guy who has a PowerPC running MacOS 9.1 and types using "advanced hunt-and-peck". He's an engineering geek rather than a computer geek.
BEN:
I felt a great disturbance in the Web...as if millions of httpd daemons suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.
THAT is what should have won the Slashdot T-shirt contest.

Linux does support quite a bit of hardware, though. It supports just about any standard (USB1/2, ATA/ATAPI, SCSI, VESA graphics, AC97 soundcards (usually)) and is slowly aggregating other drivers. It only took me one day to properly set up my M-Audio Revolution 7.1 (full 8 channels, baby!), and I had a partial driver for my Santa Cruz (AC97, thats why). It is annoying that there is spotty to no support and drivers for 3D accelerated cards, but since I don't do too much 3D or gaming, I don't care.
I agree about the desktop, and maybe X should be extended to have a server side widget set, but in the meantime, Enlightenment suits me pretty well.
Why don't you just do what Freenet does and encrypt everything so it would be impossible to tell what the file contains anyway, without the key. Of course, for Freenet that means that you may indeed be hosting kiddie porn, but who knows? Now we're dealing with philosophy: just because you don't know does it exist? Do you care? Should you care?
Slashdot Mirror
Has someone just proved that radio waves aren't light? Or does Voyager communicate by sound?
Yeah, but that borks out Linux (I tried it once a long time ago), and like I said, I don't care. If I cared, I'd use GRUB.
Only the unused ones because the used AOL CD's still need to be rewound before we use them again. Damn kids! Be Kind, Please Rewind!
Of course not, you just have to do a quick "rm -rf ~/.*" before you send your home directory to the backup computer. Just remember to "mv ~/.porn ~/porn" before you do that.

Maybe it has something to do with that black spot on Jupiter. My God, its full of stars.
Nope, they've been using the same old scheme:
Windows 1.0
Windows 2.0
Windows 3.0
Windows 3.1
-- Break in continuity --
Windows 95
Windows 98
-- Break in continuity --
Windows ME (1204)
Windows 2000
Windows XP (2315)
Windows 2003
Of course counting A as letter 0.
Yeah, but is "excepted" an accepted spelling of accepted?

Billy Bones: The Black Spot! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Oh, wrong black spot. Right, the 2010 black spot. So, when do we get our second sun? I don't feel like sleeping anymore.

I have too. Someone said that Slashdot is going through upgrades and occasionally borks out. But then again, this is just hearsay.

Is your calling Palm OS "POS" as in Piece Of Sh*t intentional or just because you needed an acronym?
+1 Funny if the former, +1 Informative if the latter.

Yeah, but isn't || defined to evaluate left to right? It is still an operator and you could do
int main()
{
int n = 5 || 0;
printf("%i\n", n);
return 0;
}
which outputs, logically, "1".
