If you hold down one of the modifier keys (I think it's control) at the right time (when clicking End, I think) you get the equivalent of SIGKILL. I think it only works on the processes tab, though.
I know this is a little vague, but it usually takes me a while to remember.:)
Having worked with three Russians, let me assure you that whatever else they are, they're not way-above-average programmers.
Now, I'm not going to claim they suck. Three isn't a big sample size. But two of the three hard coded their solutions to produce the sample output from the sample test data. They didn't work with any other sample test data... the whole code was a series of ifs and assignments. The third was just a little below average. Mind you, I've been disappointed in nearly every hire in the last decade.
Actually, for what it's worth, I re-installed both Windows XP and Fedora Core 3 lately. I found Fedora much easier to install. Granted, it presented a package list, but so did Windows. And I went through it, but I could have just as easily picked one of the defaults.
He's worth approximately $24 million, all as a result of spamming. I'd go to jail for one year for $24 million. I mean... daaaaamn. That's roughly $66,000 per day. I could put up with a lot of abuse for $66,000 per day.
I am so very tired of the free speech argument. It is tangental at best. If he had sat at his computer and simply explained in a loud voice to it for two weeks about how to enlarge its penis, nobody would care. If, on the other hand, he'd gone around and painted every overpass in the country with his message, he would have been charged. His rights end when they intrude on the rights of 10,000,000 other people per day.
Now, as for the sentence being too long, it probably will be reduced. But it shouldn't be. Consider: This man is in the top ten list of spammers. He sent 10,000,000 spam per day. He's been around for years.
Let's assume one year. Granted, they're not charging him with that full year, but I'm looking at strictly the impact of his crime. Let's call it roughly 3,650,000,000 emails per year. So he's getting roughly 0.000000002 years or 0.07 seconds per email he sent. Look at it another way: Each of those emails probably takes roughly 1.5 seconds to deal with. That works out to 11 years of economic damage for every year he spammed.
Cobalt has shipped in usable form to licensees, but there are as yet no Cobalt devices. It may be that there won't be, and PalmSource is irrelevent. Or it might be that PalmOne and others are just playing their cards close to their chest to avoid canibalizing sales.
I would have agreed with you a few months ago. But since then, I've seen exactly this pre-pay-for-content model work with online comics in a couple place.
Example: In addition to free weekday Roomies or Shortpacked comics, David Willis charged $100 per weekly installment of It's Walky!, an online comic he ended a few months back. It had a natural spinoff story, which he was willing to tell in beautiful color on his weekends if readers made it his while.
A very different model has worked for Ralph E. Hayes Jr. of Tales of the Questor, Golbin Hollow and Nip and Tuck. He just announced that whatever comic earned him the most donations in a month would get extra TLC the next month.
If stupid schemes like this work for a GIF, it'll work for an MP3 or album of them. How much you can earn is a matter of debate, but you'll clearly get something.
Actually, there is a "kill a hooker" mission in GTA:San Andreas. It's based out of San Fierro and called Jizzy and includes, in part, killing a hooker and her John by blowing up the car they're in.
Mostly I agree with you, though. There's certainly no point to picking up hooker and then shooting them. You don't even get all the money back! And even if you did, this is game behaviour and not real behaviour. It's just like role playing.
Local Future Shop had only a few bare PSPs left, but had quite a few Gretzky/PSP bundles. That suited me fine; I actually wanted Gretzky. Very good game, for what it's worth.

Berman and Braga fired? I think you're dreaming. But it's a nice dream...

Mac OS X does the same thing. In fact, I expect that command sequence will work on it. I plan on trying it next time. Thank you. :)
I paid for Konfabulator. It hasn't been updated this year, and crashes frequently. It's also a rsource hog.
No. Hitting the plane with a missle is a way better approach.
Except GoDaddy will probably be able to get it away from Jump Domain.
How much of that do you think is still cash?

You're overlooking the first problem there, which is: How can a squid be humanoid and still be a squid? :)

Technically, PalmOne said they would not commit to moving to Cobalt anytime soon. It's a subtle difference which should be recognized nonetheless.

The thing about the world is that it takes roughly twenty four hours for it to turn about on its axis.
Those of you who have not read Spider Robinson's (free) short story Melancholy Elephants should.

You know, a Sim Nation-type game where you manipulate the people would be kinda cool.
A friend of mine has a web game somewhat like this, but I don't really play it: Political Asylum
And after a few hours there's four. Luckily, they're all at the edge, but maybe I'll take it back anyway.

I suppose I'm very lucky. 0 dead pixels here.
But, mind, it doesn't support WPA...
Yeah, too bad Slashdot didn't rerfer to him by name in the initial article.
Of that "billion," how many are satisified with the battery life of either device?
Oh, I gotcha now! Thanks. And yes, I agree.
