I learn't this very early in school. The philosphy is it's easier to focus on and achieve a short term objective than a long term one. So break down your objective into manageable pieces.
An example is a 1000 page book you DON'T want to read. If it has 30 chapters create interim goals as you start each chapter based on the # of pages in the chapter. The goal would be targeted at say 100 pages in 2 days or even a chapter a day. But it has to be something manageable and each person is an individual and therefore it is different for all of us.
Also keep your eye on the big picture and focus on the rewards if this is achieved. This will aid in keeping you motivated which is perhaps the most important thing.
Self motivation isn't easy but it is required.
To summarise:
Break down your large project into small manageable, feasible goals within a set time frame.
Focus on the rewards of the big picture
Hope this helps both you and everyone reading who may have been unlucky with other methods.
This is probably why redhat is standardizing their desktop. It's easier to support a common entity than a million and one different custumized GNOME desktops.
So whether or not the admins want to use KDE or GNOME it'll work and function the same way. Smart move by redhat. Even in a free world business sense must prevail.
This is bad. So far the DMCA hasn't been challenged. Adobe asked the government to drop charges now HP has backed off. The problem with this is that this law has not had it's day in court.
I'm sure any judge will realise how broad the DMCA is and as a result how damaging it can be to a persons rights as well as to a community of developers, not to mention privacy advocates.
Unfortuantely we have lost another great opportunity. HP like all the others want this law to remain. Only when the stakes are really high will they seek to enforce it... or denounce it.
It's not supposed to look like a windows app. Mozilla is supposed to be OS independent. It's an internet platform with a consistent user interface across multiple platforms. If you don't like that, stick to windows, IE and its exploits.

I'm all for it. I like the ideolgy behind the idea. Plus who can resist free porn? Music didn't turn me on so hopefully this does.

Quickbooks will be the turning point. We want Quickbooks.
