Quote, '(hint: the proper term for citizens of the United States of America is "Americans", for citizens of the United States of Mexico is "Mexicans", etc.)...'
Excuse me, I beg to differ. With 'American' I understand one who lives in the CONTINENT America, just like 'Asian' != 'Chinese'.
So, what shall we call one who lives in the U.S.A.? USian? USAian? or an 'US American' perhaps?
Novel idea, but who'll settle the hundreds of thousands (or more?) claims, for free?
Would almost have to be some free autoregistrating ala Wikipedia - so multiple entries (companies/organizations/people etc) with same name shares an ambigious page.
But competitors may use nasty tricks as registrating companies in order to blog up an amb. page etc. How can the Open community handle the millions willing to fraud for profit?
You may be right in in that 'devfs' and 'fstab' may be as well hidden in Linux as registry etc is in Windows (no 'newbie' would stumble into registry). I do not know, as I'm unfortunately totally unskilled with Linux.
On the other hand, this guy seemed to have a HW problem, and then some other guy recommended using 'devfs' etc. The point here is: I do believe XP seldom require someone to use 'regedit' or similar in order to proparly install (recognize all HW).
But on the third hand, this is pretty moot as 'newbies' would not dare install even Windows =)
Because Earth's ~250(?) languages uses different names for the 3rd month:)
So programs/databases has to know ~250 x 12 x 2 words for month. (Two because you don't always say 'february' but 'feb').
Also what happens if language A uses a name for month X that is the same as language B's name for month Y?
"Microsoft only has to make their new search 'good enough', and integrate it with Internet Explorer (or even as toolbars in other apps, like the Office suite), and Joe Public will use it just to make life simple."
Then why don't "we" beat them to it? Let Mozilla, Konqueror, Firebird, OpenOffice etc. have a Google search bar (as default on install, so that less experienced users don't have to look for add-ons)?
"There is, AFAIK, no relationship between ADHD or ADD and being able to hear the line noise. Whether or not you ARE able to hear it would solely depend on your hearing."
True, an ADD / ADHD's ears are just as normal as everyone else's.
However, the human brain suppresses redundant noise (e.g. heartbeat) so that our consciousness may focus on the important stuff. This may be directly related to why ADD people have attention problems (I guess, I am not a doctor).
Best race game ever made (well except plain graphics [and midi music]:)
You have to race around a 3D track with objects like loops, ice, concrete blocks in the way.
Was easy to make your own tracks too
Does the spam-mail contain an email adress?
Not only give it a false order / info request, but add it to all mailing lists you know and whatever you can do to increase their spam income.
Does the spam-mail contain an URM for a firm?
Look for email adresses on that site - do as above. Might consider DDoS too, but that's probably illegal? =( (sad it's illegal to spam spammers)
More severe is to spam them in non-internet ways too. Order for them all kind of trials (papers and other products) etc, just be careful to not do things that harms others: e.g. order pizza (un-payed for pizzas costs the pizza-house)
But feel free to make your own pizza with SPAM and give them:) Can be combined with having a group personally telling them in a noisy (but not threateningly) way that people don't like spam.
If you don't get the message through, put up signs at the work place, indetificate the pointy-haired boss (whomever is in charge of marketing, or their boss[es]) and spam them.
If you're a group of 20+ , call them. Send them snail-mail. Ring their door bell. All this 24h/day.
This can be done both to companies buying spam-services and the spammers themselves.
All this should work best if people united in local groups for anti-spamming (who's to organize this?).
We have to be careful about beeing fooled into spamming innocent parties though.
Ok, ok. So some of this is rather extreme, but at least most of it should be doable - as long as people keep from beeing threateningly or destructive? (and keep out of the police's sight:)
Hmm.. autonomous self destruct bomb vehicles? that'd eliminate the need to brainwash humans to the point of willingly commit suicide for their cause. ^_^
I've gotten this most annoying allergy to soaps (I do not yet know wich components cause them)...have any of you ever tried to read what's in your shampoo, soap etc? they all seem to contain Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate (seems to be the most dominating component, next to water),parabens (iso-,ethyl-,propyl-, etc) etc etc, all long latinish names that makes paranoid me scared.
Cynic me has gotten the crazy idea most of it is byproducts of fossile oil - stuff that they found out they could not sell -in fact had to PAY for having it stored/neutralized - until they though "doh! this stuff separates fat. Let's dump it cheap to the soap industry!"
Now, can someone please educate me on what the stuff in my soaps are?
I'd rather have litre than gallons, and kilometer or real mile ( = 10 kilometer) than your old 'miles'.
I know it's hard to change your ways, but please, I should not have to learn the old 'empire' standards too?
What about secretly adding some code, preferably something all compilers would treat the same? I assume a text variable would do?
e.g:
var char[20] ='Wde3kbv9s4s8se/#f,#q";
Or preferably something that would seem more 'authentic', like 'SLPT version 3.107' ? In my simple mind I am in the hopeful belief that no compiler would alter it, but rather store it as simple text?
Now someone clever would have to think out a better 'fignerprint'. It has to be long enough so there's no real chance for random data to be alike the fingerprint, and seem like a real variable.
This won't work of course, if the thieves changes all the variable names.

Indeed! Especially non-natives to english will have a problem with decoding that. Heck, it took me a second...
You may still need a fan of sorts, pushing the fluid to the processor? Also, the cooling takes effect before the pan err processor gets too hot.
Wich continent? You're confusing me.
Are you saying north A. and south A. are separate continents?
I guess I'd flunk a global geography test =)

.mp3 TLD? you must have meant .ogg TLD?? =P
.music would have been better? .msc or .mus - any other suggestions?)
Seriously,

As long as PC-unskilled people have to relate to [for them] uncomprehensible things as 'devfs', 'fstab' etc. etc., they'll shun/hate Linux.
It wasn't wood that killed Balder, but the plant 'Misteltein' (anyone got the english name?). That plant lives on trees though...

That'd most probably be norse (as T. was in a club that read loud norse poetry), or then again it could perhaps be latin.
Thank you :)
Ah, cryptic shorts... What's CPR and AED? =)
