The Smart may be safe on a track, or in a crowd of other Smarts and other similar sized vehicles, but would you *really* want to be in one knowing the soccer mom behind you is driving a SUV that is too heavy for local road/traffic use, while talking on her cell phone, texting her BFF Jill, drinking her $12 starbucks almost-but-not-quite-completely-unlike-coffee drink, and worrying about her precious unique snowflakes who are fighting over what DVD to watch in the back seat?
Of course. Used to be you could only have 3 windows open, maybe 3.1 if it was using a child process (MDI type interface). Then the limit was upped to 95, then 98, then 2000 of 'em and then....
Yup, before I closed on my house (bought in early 2000) I took a laptop out and tested the phone lines to see if 56k was possible... (it wasn't but a drunk destroyed the Big Box down the road and I had 56k for a few weeks after that, at which point DSL was available... who said drunk drivers aren't good for *anything*)
Don't think it would've affected my closing, but I may have kept looking for just a bit longer.
My Mom is a speech pathologist (so was dad, but he taught) and she frequently has "word boards" with various pictures and simple words on them. Point and ummm... point. Works good.
Out of curiosity, I wonder how much of the BBC's money comes from stations/organizations buying rights to broadcast/re-broadcast in other countries? For example, I found Dr. Who, et al. via the BBC via public TV broadcasts here in the states...
Have you noticed how poorly the average (American at least, I've not driven elsewhere - yet) driver drives? Cell phones, makeup, the $7 starbucks coffee "drink", etc. They can barely handle 2 dimensions where motion in one is in a constant direction. Handle 3 dimensions? No way....
Why not? One of the win32 desktop firewalls (zone alarm pro? IIRC) would modify HTML code on the fly to remove javascript calls to window.open and a few other things to "stop popups"... I guess that the viewer's ISP could easily run everything thru a transparent proxy and either change the page or change the images (see "upside down internet", etc.)
I like the idea of a "work" area... you certainly don't want me sleeping on a flight that you want to sleep on as well... too much LOUD snoring. Been known to scare small children.... so for someone like me, you really do want them to stay up and read, etc. all night long.
Yup, that hand copying of books is a great way to get a 100% accurate copy...:)
There was a Pope who was greatly loved by all of his followers, a man who led with gentleness, faith and wisdom. His passing was grieved by the entire world, Catholic or not.
As the Pope approached the gates of heaven, it was Saint Peter who greeted him in a firm embrace.
"Welcome your holiness, your dedication and unselfishness in serving your fellow man during you life has earned you great stature in heaven. You may pass through the gates without delay and are granted free access to all parts of heaven."
"You are also granted an open door policy and may at your own discretion meet with any heavenly leader, including the Father without prior appoint- ment. Is there anything which your holiness desires?"
"Well yes," the Pope replied. "I have often pondered some of the mysteries which have puzzled and confounded theologians through the ages. Are there perhaps andy transcripts which recorded the actual conversations between God and the prophets of old? I would love to see what was actually said, without the dimming of memories over time."
Saint Peter immediately ushered the Pope to the heavenly library and explained how to retrieve the vaious documents. The Pope was thrilled and settled down to review the history of man's relationship with God.
Two years later a scream of anguish pierced the stacks of the library. Immediately several of the Saints and angels came running to the Pope's side to learn the cause of his dismay.
There they found the Pope pointing to a single word on the parchment, Repeating over and over, "There's an 'R', There's and 'R'!!!"
I've done the same with Bellsouth business class DSL. They provide a DSL "modem" and router combo, all set up. Call them and explain that no connection is happening, etc. they ask the client OS. I tell 'em it doesn't matter, its the *router* that they sent that is messed up. Get put on hold, etc. and they come back asking about the client OS.
So on that day, some poor BS script reader got to learn about Windows 3.11, Linux, BSD, OS X, BeOS, AIX, and any other TLA (three letter abbreviation) I could think of...
*snip* the real "bomb" is the psychological and economic bomb *snip*
QFT. The insane long lines, the stupid restrictions, etc. involved with air travel these days simply indicate that the terrorists have won. They no longer need to actually attack to distrup the lives of hundreds of thousands, the mere mention of the possibility of an attack or even a new attack vector is enough...
Nonsense, no constitutional amendment needed. Look at the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 1997 which modified the GCA of '68. Effective September 30, 96 *anyone* who had been convicted of domestic violence (and a few other things) suddenly became no longer able to legally buy a gun, even if they could legally buy one on Sept. 29th '96. Ex post facto punishment...
Here I am, brain the size of the planet, and all I get to do is filter mail. Oh look, more viagra spam. I think I'll go kill myself. The diodes on the left side of my chassis are hurting...

Only reason I can think of is I'll get jealous.... but I love my 770

Of course, at least one of those companies is selling/making money from systems that won't allow you to exercise your fair use rights...

Change beth to bet and you're just about as close as you can get without actually using hebrew characters...
Dang, it, where's my mod points? +5 insughtful/underrated.

Out of curiosity, do you point to 0.0.0.0 on the hosts you add, or to localhost, or something else?

Only works if the data in the maps is accurate, or even present. Both issues I've seen with utilities mappings at my own home...

Yup. Works in Mozilla fine, and IE (had to check on a cow-orkers comp). I really need to get a print of it made somehow....
How about the kernel source HTML'd into looking like a penguin?

Not sure what kernel version it is... there are other peoples names in it, so it certainly isn't 0.01

In Colleges, LUGs are usually Lesbians Until Graduation.
I'm sure they'd still attract plenty of lonely geeks from Mom's Basement at an open meeting though...
My Nokia 770 solved all of those for me...

Almost makes you wonder what will happen to Haliburton, et. al. not to mention the various "security" companies working over there (Blackwater, etc)
