Not my version. I scanned in each page at 1200 dpi and saved them as tiff files. Now I pine for the day when Apple releases the iRead version of the iPod, or at least for the day when I realize my brain is 95% harvati cheese.
Tell me about it. Not only is the world supply of trilobites depleting at a tremendous rate, but it costs a pretty penny to remove the little stone bastards from your fuel filter.
In addition, four years ago I never would have thought they would wind up buying Rare. That annoyed the hell out of me. Goldeneye is still my absolute favorite multi-player game of all time, not to mention all the other tremendous titles they created for Nintendo. Now they're tied to MS. Lame, lame, lame. Conker on Xbox seems so...weird.
No, you trolling fool. Proprietary software doesn't allow the public to examine and improve the code. Free software does. It's not about religion, zealotry, or any other FUD you can dream up. It's about freedom, plain and simple. Who the hell's moderating today, Bill Fscking Gates?
First, why are you using IrFanView under Wine in Linux when any distro has a number of comparable image viewing/editing utiliies? Very bizarre...almost troll-like. Anyway, to answer your comment:
...their efforts could be better used to improve the Wine...

Why don't you help the Wine project instead?
Actually we work very closely with the Wine project. Wine probably has a lot more in common with ReactOS than with Linux. The Wine project has the goal of implementing the entire windows API on top of WineServer. There are only a few WINE dlls that cannot be used in ReactOS. These are NTDLL, USER32, KERNEL32, GDI32, and ADVAPI. The rest of WINE's DLLs can be shared with ReactOS. We have several developers in both the WINE and ReactOS projects that work on cross-compatibility issues between the two projects.
It is our view that Linux + Wine can never be a full replacement for Microsoft(R) Windows(R). ReactOS has the potential for a much higher degree of compatibility - especially for Microsoft(R) Windows(R) drivers - which WINE does not address.
I'm with you on PSP. I've always preferred it over Adobe for working with images. Not only is it much cheaper, but it provides as much functionality and, IMO, a more intuitive UI. I only wish GIMP would be able to bridge the gap to provide us with an open source alternative.
I'd like to see a "fuck" (or it's non-english equivalent) count from source developed around the world and compare the differences in that. anyone have something like this?
I wish they would put linux on these laptops for kids. Then they not only learn the regular school crap, but also learn that there are other ways to use a computer besides windows. I had a Mac for years because I was basically taught how to use them from Junior High and up. The only use we had for Windows was in our typing class, and all we did with that was use net send to make fun of each other. On a side note - I remember when they put Novell on our network in 9th grade when I went to military school. The only thing that did was give us a way to crash the network so we could go to the library and read Popular Science/Mechanics and Mad during keyboarding.
Ugh - retrofitting my house for wireless connectivity was a royal pain in the ass, man. My heart goes out to you and the effort you'll be putting into this. Plugging in that Dlink wireless router and using the web interface to configure it nearly gave me a asthma attack.
No, dude. This actually looks at the sounds of files being transferred and compares them to an existing database of songs. It's not as simple as adding random characters.
Sure, for a simple transfer to one user it would work, but that's not really p2p filesharing, is it? If your method were encorporated into a simple, one-click method for encrypted communication for everything from directory listing to transfers then it could work. I don't know how it would prevent the admins from catching on and shutting down that network traffic if it ever did take off. But I see your point about them not being able to determine what is being transferred, thus providing them zero factual basis for stopping the network. Is this something freenet would be able to bypass easily?
I think you're on to something here. Writing all of your songs in shorthand, scanning them, then emailing the resulting tiff files will prove no match for this anti-filesharing initiative.

Imagine being off the grid in an urban setting!...So if the main tank blows, you still have electricity so you can charge your mobile to dial 911.
Heh, if someone else in my urban setting isn't calling 911 when my H2 tank blows, I'm guessing my neighbors don't want my hippie ass around anymore.
A leak is not only dangerous, but it can also be comical. For instance, I inhaled some and then lit a cigarette. I've never seen a ribcage fly quite that far before.
No, they pay it because it's a cost of doing business in the US, just like any other overhead they have to pay. No company is exempt, and they've factored it into the prices we pay ever since unemployment was mandated, so it's not some surprise hidden fee they use to jimmy prices when people get laid off.

They've got their grubby little paws all over this! Where the hell is my tin foil hat? Ah, yes, I made a bong out of it.
in the early days people were looking for a "killer app"

Does this suit leave my buttocks exposed? Because I need the freedom of movement. Bowel movement, that is.
If this is a kid who plans to pawn it or sell it on eBay...
At this point your laptop is pwned, maybe even pwnx0rd.
