Eh, I've been using Opera for over a year now and I don't think I've ever seen this Opera ads box of which you speak. If it's that thing running before I register the app, well, a simple serial is all it takes to get rid of it. I guess I'm saying that Opera doesn't have anything that annoys me. At all. Still my favorite browser. Well, maybe second favorite to Lynx at work.
I learned it, but I adjusted it to my style. Numbers still annoy me, so I'm heavily dependent on the ten-key. I also use both thumbs for the space bar, which is why I had to smash that stupid Compaq keyboard to bits. I also don't follow the opposing shift key thing, you know, right shift and left character and vice versa. I'll posit that there are many users out there who do the same thing and are not traditional touch typists, but are touch typists nonetheless.
Sure, but if people use computers enough then they sometimes develop their own methods of typing. I guess that could be called some kind of advanced hunt and peck, but it's something. Even if it's just two fingers hunting and pecking at a blistering pace, eventually their muscles will catch up to their brains. Who says touch typing is the ultimate data entry experience?
My thoughts exactly. I did rtfa and I don't buy it. Much like the all-in-one printer/scanner/copier/phone/fax/kitchen sink devices out there, I'd much rather have a few gadgets which do their job excellently than one which does several jobs in a slip-shod manner. I don't like camera phones. They're slow and have horrible resolution. The PDA/phone hybrids are much too large to carry comfortably in my pocket. I'm completely happy with paying $150 for my small cell phone which gives excellent reception in most locations, a couple more hundred for my digital camera, and some more hundreds for my Neuros MP3 player. And, most of my friends feel the same way. Some day when miniaturization and overall quality of such products improves, then I'll reconsider.
What, exactly, is wrong with Mozilla's UI? No one I know who's switched has had a problem, at all. My manager, a dullard at best, switched and his luddite ass couldn't be happier. Note: to qualify him as a luddite, he was astonished at Windows explorer. Until I showed him how to launch files from it, he would use File>Open from Word. Could it be that you're too technically advanced to use a plain jane interface for a basic program that requires no knowledge apart from pointing at a link and clicking on it?
Point and click is point and click. Most people don't do anything else with a web browser at all. Anyone who can point and click in IE can definitely do the same in mozilla/firefox/opera/whatever the hell lets you click on a url.
Are you kidding? This is worse than having all six suns setting for the first time in thousands of years. I have no choice but to watch Stargate: Atlantis and finish the other half of this pizza feast. Fatter, yes. Completely insane, also yes. Plans for Friday night, of course not.
Oh lord, I hope they don't make a movie about this guy forty years from now and expose him as some kind of patsy in an elaborate scheme to sell more vitamin juice for old people.
If you don't have the patience for DVD backups (neither do I), then you're pretty much stuck with RAID. So buck up, spend the extra cash, and setup a storage box or two on the network with one or two terabytes in each. I have a branch of my network setup on gigabit, one box has 250 GB of storage on RAID 1 across two 250 GB (this one's for video projects), the other has 160 GB in RAID 0 (my learning system). Works fine and easy as hell to setup. If I need to add storage I can either add some drives or just add another box. I've thought about using GFS, but I don't know enough about it to implement it, yet. Anyone here currently using GFS?
Heh - I grew up in a small town in Wyoming. After moving to Minneapolis, I was very exicted about the radio. That feeling lasted for precisely one week. Every morning personality is a clone of each other (think Simpson's KBBL morning schwag), the music loops worse than a bad house mix, and the stations shuffle formats faster than a newbie fdisker. Thanks to my Neuros I have long last relief and a little radio in my pocket. I think clearchannel and disney own something like 90% of Twin Cities radio. The only thing worth listening to is KFAI, listener supported radio.
There was hope that anyone could compete with the big boys at the beginning of the internet age, but thanks to lobbied legislation we've seen those options become marginalized. Sure, it's pretty hard to control the net, but they're trying, man. And that is very disquieting.
This is great an all, but is it possible for a higher court to reverse this ruling? I'm assuming the current broadcast oligopoly will not take this sitting down.
Strange...I connected to the suit via putty, was prompted for a login, entered 'root' and was able to login with no password. Seems like a pretty big security....hole!?! Ha! Thank you, I'll be here all week. In the dumpster. Eating your waste.

Is he a male gigolo, perchance? I see no other way in which such a fortune can be amassed.
Ah, yes, you say useless trivia. This proves that useless trivia is far from useless, given the right circumstances. Nothing is not worth knowing.

Some day middlemen will die and I'll get the money...
Get the Neuros. It supports ogg, has open source software, and is fairly inexpensive.
It already did three hours ago, via Malaysia.

At least there is the internet.

2001! dolts.
Jetpacks, no. Jetboots, of course! How else will you rise up smugly from the surface to greet the cap?

Nor can they hear you fart.
I can read lips, Mike.
Ha! From the article: "There's more of that on the way," said Microsoft's Stephen Walli...
That's like a fat chick showing you a boob and saying, "There's more where that came from."
Hey, Whedon! How ya been, man?
