It's partly in fear of this that whenever i do significant work on my parent's computers, i leave a rather conspicuous "maintenance readme.txt" somewhere obvious, so that whoever else touches the computer after me to try and fix it doesn't do exactly that.
quite so...the easiest way to pick out a tourist in the city is to watch to see if they stop before crossing the street. most of us just dodge between cars.
conversley, the easiest way to tell if someone in your city is actually from new york (or has spent a lot of time there) is to watch them jaywalk like nobody's buisiness.
Having seem some of the films Mos Def was in (The Italian Job, for one), i'm not too worried about it. Talented actor, and somehow he works as ford in my head.
what about that guy from Red Dwarf though?
I had similar issues, and my conclusion was that at some point when i was burning the iso's to disk, it had issues, and would do about what you're describing.
I reccomend first verifying that the iso's you downloaded are good with md5sum, then copying them to a small ext3 partition on your hadrrive and running a local harddrive install.
It took me about 10 minutes to install, running a 1 Ghz centrino laptop with 512 RAM -- and when i hose the system now (which is far too frequent), fixing it is simple.
I remember a time when IBM was regarded with as much animosity as Microsoft is now -- perhaps even more so, but for different reasons. More recently, the geek-public opinion of IBM has begun to shift towards neutrality and an uneasy understanding -- where do we see IBM's role and public opinion going in the future, especially with their (seemingly) wholehearted adoption of open-source technologies?
I reccomend you head on over to Ars . They've posted a review of gnome 2.4 and it's compliance to the HIG. Looks very nice, actually, especially with respect to useability for people with disabilities, and also with support for multiple languages. So it looks like the newer gnome builds are aiming for (and apparently hitting) useability compliance standards.
why are they targeting the little guys? (that is, online sharing) even if it is prescreeners, i can go to chinatown or times square and buy a movie on DVD, that's good quality, even has appropriate artwork on the cover/case, for five bucks, in front of a fucking cop, and not have any problems whatsoever -- hell, i wouldn't have to worry about download times, even.
It seems like a more expensive version of the 40 GB ipod, but without the mp3 player frontend, and just the same amount of (with slower transfer speed) harddrive... why pay 650 when you can pay 500 and get a nice, firewire harddrive with headphones?

and 300 years from now, our descendants will look on us and our presecuity culture as just as primitive as we now imagine our preindustrial subsistence-farming ancestors.
actually, i kind of envy them. I'm guessing you've never set foot on a farm.
Keep in mind that in many outfits, Lifepak doubles as an EMT's AED; thus, the standard "on, analyze, shock" buttons are there. It's kind of serving double duty, but all really important functions are pretty easy to get to fast, with only a little bit of practice.
and yeah, there are actually 2 button defibrillators -- on, and analyze/shock. However, they're definetly not as powerful as Lifepak, and are designed for use by your average civilian, not an EMT or a medic.
at least you're using LP12 -- on half our fleet we have LP10, which is more than a little outdated.
one problem with NTFS i have is that it's read-only under linux, which is a pain... especially if, like me, you dual boot. or, also like me, do tech support and suddenly realize that knoppix is hamstrung by it's inability to write to a NTFS partition (and since all XP-pro and win2k installs are NTFS... this is a problem.)
yes there is. he specifically states in his paper that he never agreed to the EULA for the DRM program -- he actually states that he can only speculate on it's inner workings because he never installed the thing.
so basically, he's being sued even though he didn't do anything to their DRM software at all.
I get 40 mpg and 300 mile range on my 92 honda civic. so why do i want to drop 200 K on something that has the range of a 11 year old car that cost 9K?

not until it supports my (far too expensive) pretty NVIDIA card and lets it do it's shiny graphics enhancing thing.

Is it just me, or is including a virus scanner with windows like including a New, Improved, More Absorbent Sponge to people living below a dam?

that would be yale, not harvard.
Then, a small boy seeing what's going on runs off to tell a large hurd of nerds...
shouldn't that be GNU/hurd ?
yeah. but if you're white it doesn't matter...
at least that's how it seems.

anyone who hasn't read the damn books probably shouldn't be commenting on jackson's choices in filmmaking...

I'm going to miss Peter Jones as The Book, though...

Does it imply that Linux now has a reputation as a scientifically-orientated OS?
well, it's safe to say it's not going to get a reputation as a gramatically-oriented OS...

All i can say is, Lucas had better be taking notes -- lightsaber fights never looked this good in any of the movies.
