i dont give a golly god damn about chrome to be honest, i like firefox and its plugins and such. if chrome ends up able to compete on that level, then ok, id be interested. hell, id sooner browse with opera but the widgets dont satisfy me
no kidding. its a lot of work to take ubuntu, change 17 of the packages, 2 of the default backgrounds and the default theme. its like...3 hours of work, and you dont get paid for it.:(
right, but if they want to compete on the desktop, it'll need a snazzy look and a new name. They can call it OS Eleven
It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be working with OS X. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your computer. Where can you go from there? Where?
Some of those are a good start, but some christians (since every group has different beliefs) may argue that, for instance, the bit about lobster (shellfish) is irrellevant because its from the *old* testament.
Paul maintains in the new testament that *anything* is fair game when it comes to food (i think he had a dream, or vision, where god basically said "how dare you say that which i created is not fit to eat, bitch!")
Of course, the larger problem is that most people really really don't read the bible at all. I realized I hadnt when my pastor said "but remember, you shouldnt just take my word for eveerything I say in here, you should be reading this yourself and understanding it"
So I reasoned that since Id never really read the bible, that if it was that damn good, and that correct, and that obviously this is what I need to live my life by, a straight-through reading would do me some good and solidify my faith.
So i started in genesis and...holy hell. I don't think I made it all the way through Deuteronomy. I was really, seriously, creeped out.
That was it for me, Im no longer a christian. Ive read more about the bible, of course, just ouf of interest, and studied (a little) some other religions out of curiosity.
this. guys at FW and other sites love them, but you can almost always find what you want without the hassle if you shop around and have a little patience. rebates suck.
while im of the opinion that this entire thread is something someone could have found out by visiting any of a dozen hardware sties... i will say zzf is good, buy.com is good for some components and often has good prices/free shipping. i still like newegg but they dont tax me:P
deal sites are worth checking. fatwallet, gottadeal, spoofeedeals, and slickdeals
you can always find deals on at least a couple of components, and some people are fond of buying certain dell desktops and switching out a couple parts to get a decent gaming rig
kinda look like it comes down to this entire idea being a terrible....idea. storage is always evolving and parts are dying and becoming obsolete.
so if you want to keep data...just store it, re-index it to new media every 6-12 months and change to the new $cheap_media every 2 or 3 years.
i had a cd of pics from my daughters birth that i ripped clean a few weeks ago, and it was 7 years old. doing something every 2 -3 years should be easy, and still affordable.
he can add in a small laptop with a power adapter and a media reader (usb ports, card reader, optical drive, whatever he needs).
that way all he *needs* later is electricity, and id be surprised if the US (or whatever country he is from) has phased out the currently used electrical outlets in 25 years, and even if he did, some electrical tinkerer could power it up anyway.
as for getting them off that device later...thats his problem:)
everything needs to be sealed well, however. double or triple on some water-tight somethingsomething to be safe,
Computers are strange, arent they? I run 64 bit ubuntu 8.04 and have only very rare, and not re-creatable problems with flash. Certainly not enough that Id bitch about them.
More posts that should be put in a distro-specific forum, instead of the slashdot front page. Im all for helping people, but some need to help themselves.
I never had any serious, regular problem, in the last year and a half, with Debian Etch or Any Ubuntu release since 6.10 (when i first used it) with flash. The oddball crash happens, but its nothing normal or that I can re-create (in epiphany browser or firefox)
With that, I link to "How to ask questions the smart way" or "christ, can you search first, then ask in the apporopriate place?" :
Please understand I have nothing again helping anyone....but people should help themselves first. The flashplayer performance is horrible, but the OP lists no specifics to help him with his problem. Theres no distro name, no kernel or browser type or version given, no way anyone can help him.
The post is just a bitch and moan. This is slashdot, news for nerds, etc. There have been useful, interesting "Ask Slashdot" posts, but this is not one of them.
but havent there been congressmen and other officials who have been held up by airport security and such? Christ, I want to say Ted Kennedy was one of them but Im too lazy to fact-check so....wasnt Ted Kennedy one of them?;)
Yeah well...when I was flying, we didn't have motors, or wings! We had to walk uphill, in the snow (important for the landing bit) to the edge of a cliff with nothing but a parachute, made of twine and burlap cloth, in case the feathers we were holding in our hands didnt work, AND WE LIKED IT.
I should have mentioned I have a T40. Im out of town and the T60 didnt get here in time to take it with me:(
I loved the T40 so much I *had* to get a thinkpad. I considered the Dell latitudes D620/D630 but wanted a thinkpad first. I love the trackbutton, I love the thinklight as well:)
Im glad that our elected officials are taking meaningful, important and proper steps to curb wrongful practices by large businesses. Hopefully they will go after the phone companies ne--oh that's right, nevermind.
I was at a crossroads recently, and needed some kind of upgrade, on $800 budget, to my thinkpad/aging tower combo, and was seriously considering getting a cheapo desktop and a nokia n810.
] ended up getting a steal on a Thinkpad T60, which I will love, but the 810 practically makes me salivate./geek

OP should rent a place to do this. why the hell would anyone want 60 strange gamers in their home is beyond me.
charge by the head to cover rental costs, network/power gear
also, snacks...or tell them to bring their own.
good, now yell that with an ackbar voice: "ITS A PORT!"
sure, but *someone* can keep this crap off the front page. I mean they dont post dupes or anyth-- bah, nevermind

I don't care about Add-Ons...
I do. A lot of people do. Its the reason I dont use opera. The widgets arent as good as the add-ons in firefox.
the usual response from the ones who want it done is "But I wanted this, this, and that"
Thats what she said!
Hi, you must be new here; welcome to slashdot.
