Significant other talks like that a lot. Confuses the hell out of me. And then she gets frusterated with me because I don't understand her. *sigh*
Oh, topic. Right. Well, I've already got an iPod, I love it, I don't care about the new ones. I think the new design looks stupid, as I think the iPod mini looks stupid. It's 50 bucks less and not that 'mini'.
Stop improving on something that doesn't really need improvement (sans battery, mind you, but they don't need a full point release for that) or focus the improvement on something other than aesthetics. You've got the style DOWN run with it. Make it support OGG/CGI/Java/whatever the hell people want, and you'll have yourself a bloody free-for-all with peoples 'disposable income'.
Now make with the G5 PowerBooks before I have to go back to school.
...would have to change before I invest money and time into it.
To begin, it costs way too much to support that sort of habit these days. I'd pay... 4.95 to 9.95 a month for a decent MMORPG. Even if the CD costs me 49.95 to start. (WoW: Blizzard, are you listening?).
I would absolutely love to play World of Warcraft when it comes out, but, when the numbers add up, I'm afraid my 'disposable' income can't take that hit.
Here's another issue. Players who detract from the overall experience. Espicially when game administration refuse to do anything about it. Not a case of 'can not', cases of 'will not'. Albeit, some games are adopting tougher policies on cheaters/assholes and are cracking down on them. Good. Good for them. More of you should be doing it.
"The general policy is that our Computer Science students should be smart enough to root the systems, and if they manage it, so long as they don't abuse it and they report it quickly, then we are happy!"
First off, I'm not sure if you understand how absolutely rare it is to find someone with that stance on things. Have some more kudos, we college-student-hackers need more of you.
Second, I'm not sure what strain your CS students were bred from, but, at my university, ours can't pick their own noses without a professor to hold their hand.
You're right. I really haven't put much effort into it. A few weekends. But when the majority of my time is spent trying to get the distribution to work, in order for me to do other work, the distribution is not worth my time.
And I've browsed the AMD64 forum, looking for answers to my problems here and there. Google is a wonderful resource, too.
I've not been able to get the Gentoo distro (2004.0, 2004.1?, when is 2004.2?) on my AMD64 box. It's a shame, I ran with Gentoo for a while on a few machines, and I'll try it again if it can do what I want. For now, I'm very very happy with Slackware, but I'm sad that Patrick can't do a 64-bit edition.
I'm not very sure anymore. It was a few years ago, now. Three, I think (entering 2nd year of college, was middle of junior year of high school).
The question was asking what method genes use to pass themselves along to the next generation. Though I'm sure there was a bit in there about expression. The correct answer was alleel, I'm prettty sure of that, as my chem teacher (also a bio teacher for a bunch of other classes at the time) made a huge stink about it in class on the next day.
Disagree. This way, he's got a significant amount to show for it if he flubs up. On Millionare, you could get stiffed by a question that they had the wrong answer to, anyway (referring to a gentics question as the 500,000$ prize, to which they had the ultimate wrong answer; the guy got it wrong, anyway, but if he had used that 50/50 lifeline or whatever and they removed the appropriate answer, there would have been legal trouble, guaranteed.)
Besides, earning yourself 1,000,000 over a months time going head to head with 52 other people, you take more than just money away from that experience - you take away satisfaction.
I've had the toolbar fail. And Firefox has a google-search box next to the address bar. Infact, the google-search box can be customized to include searching other sites, as well, such as Amazon and Wikipedia (just examples, there are dozens more options - those are just the two I use).
...which site? And do other sites render worse in IE than they do in Firefox? As for migrating from IE, I've never had a problem encouring people. The built-in popup blocker is almost an instant 'OK! I'm converted!'. This may or may not be helpful: http://texturizer.net/firefox/faq.html
Perhaps, distribute a company-wide email, linking to a download for Firefox (put it on a local server, first, link to that, save Moz the bandwidth.;) and give the end users the option to switch. The upside? They get to waste an hour of company time moving into a new browser.:-p And less work for the ITS guys.
...are ideal. Come in a standard XML format, which is easily mutable using perl. While I was learning how to clunk about in databases, I had a simple script which made a call to several sites with RDF/RSS, grab a copy of their feed, and check to see if an entry exists in the DB. You can even learn to account for repeat results, and update existing entries. Watch out, though; making too many calls to a website's feed can make the webmastership unhappy with you. My script ran nightly, at 2 AM EST, and grabbed the news from about a dozen sites (slashdot included).
If you want to get REAL creative, you could hack up a little applescript that reads entries from the DB (through perl), and reads you the news. That was neat to do with my PowerBook, as I could get an overview of the day before on my drive to work.
Because RPI is an IBM Testbed. RPI has a contract with IBM for performance and durability trials. What better way to make sure your products are up to snuff than to give them to rough-and-tough college students.
Atleast three levels, tested, and re-checked. When triggered, the bots either begin attacking themselves, each other, or simply shut down. The third option is best, and would be the first course of action. If a bot fails to shut down, nearby bots intercept and destroy it. The problem with the seek-and-destroy bot system is you end up with cell attrition, but, then again, two or three or ten cells on that scale is a small price to pay, per 2% of the populace.
3D?! Wow! Never before have I seen a laptop that has width, length, AND depth. COOL! BR
*gently pushes corner of ThinkPad* O_O! DUDE! It looks like mine is compatible!
I don't think it does, because it explicitly states using the 2.6.6 kernel. However, given that a few stories down, there was a news item about the 2.6.7 kernel, which patches against the vulnerability, it shouldn't be too hard to recompile the kernel for 2.6.7 and use that. Further, it should be as simplistic for Mr. Slackware to release it in the next branch (10.0 RC2, 10.1).

You don't. It sounds like a horrible idea - multiple versions of multiple documents in the wild.
CVS sounds like a much better idea.

And tabbed browsing?
It's always fun until someone loses an eye.
...then it's hilarious, too.

YMMV.
No fuss. Might as well Throw in an iPod, too.

That would be all of them.
...but I would much, much rather have my environment sensor switches fail than I would have the oxygen bottle(s) fail.
'Look, ma! No oxygen!'
Unless it's ballistics gelatin. The stuff, allegedly, can almost match the conductivity of human flesh. Don't you watch MythBusters? (:-P)

Chief difference: SubEthaEdit is free.

You're not alone. I did the same thing not more than four days ago.
It seems like this swaret.org thing might be the way to go, though.
I would much appreciate the .config file, if you please.
Thanks!
Were you able to get the VESA framebuffer working with 2.6.6?
