...why not take advantage of the numerous and generous educational discounts available to teachers and students? That way you get manuals and support, and the instructor doesn't have to waste time on configuration, installation, or troubleshooting. Why does it have to be open source? Is she (your friend) worried about bad math being put in or is she going to extend the software in some way?
So you have a plus with mbox as being portable, human readable, and 'repairable' with a text editor the con of being slow with large files.
In the 11+ years I've been using e-mail on Windows and Unix systems I've never to read or repair a mailbox with a text editor (or any other tool). Considering t-bird is aimed at the masses I don't think having a text-editable mailbox is an advantage anyway. The target audience (if the goal is to replace OE) does not have the skills or desire to make such repairs in the rare case of a failure.
The focus should be on the user experience as that's what will increase the install base, not features for geeks. Slap on a proprietary database for speed and feature enhancements and people will be happier.
300 baud was great. I could read at 300 baud so screens would load at the perfect rate. Fortunately I was poor at the time so I couldn't spend too much time trying to download pictures from Rusty n Edie's BBS.
I even ran my own single line bbs on an Atari 800. Nothing but text files, really, mostly discussion of text adventure games. The Wolves Den, though that entry is wrong as it was in San Leandro and ran software I wrote myself.
Those were the days...if I knew then what I knew now I'd buy a lot of Microsoft stock.
Apparently there was a Porsche behind him. Once his french car sensed the german car approaching, the french car's fight or flight response was triggered. It's obvious which path the car chose...
I've been conducting an informal survey over the years and I seem to be alone in my opinion that Spaceballs is horrible. It's second only to Mad Dog and Glory in the "worst movie ever" category. It wasn't funny; it was just stupid. I saw it in college after an evening of pizza and beer...just not funny. I like other Mel Brooks' movies. I like other movies that are funny: Army of Darkness. Animal House. Vacation. Caddyshack. Holy Grail. Life of Brian. Princess Bride.
I for one do not welcome our Spaceballs-sequel-making overlords.
Why would I waste it listening to two non-contenders? I would rather spend that time listening to the debates, then checking the facts as presented by the candidates. I don't consider the debates to be a "press conferencene" - that's what the conventions are for.
By the way, my question is legitimate. What do I have to gain from two unknown non-players telling me what they want me to hear? I can find that information and more quite easily; you see, I have the Internet installed on my computer. Gaining knowledge of your agenda won't help me decide how to vote. I already know what issues are important. I now have to decide who (between the 2 people that have a chance of being elected) comes closest to my views.
My SanDisk came with "CruzerLock" software. I wrote the company some time ago and they couldn't tell me about the encryption used. Now a search turns up a page by the authoring company on the software. Here's what they say about the algorithm:
The CruzerLock(TM) 2 software uses the powerful and fast Blowfish encryption algorithm with a 448-bit key length. Blowfish is a symmetric block cipher that has been analyzed considerably and approved by the United States government. It was a finalist in the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) competition.
I wonder if the software has the same flaws as the JumpDrive software. You can download the software here, though I don't know if it will work with non-SanDisk drives.
When I first read the story, up until I went to the company's web site, I thought the company selling the rides was Zero G Software. They make InstallAnywhere, a product I've used extensively. I thought it was a cool tie-in and a great way to get the company noticed.
Oh well, so much for the free ride for using their product to bundle our product...
You can turn off the warnings from the control panel. Open up the "security" applet (or whatever it's called) and there is an option to control notification.
I'll be sure to send McDonald's representatives to your next cookout.
Please do. I'll be happy to show them the right way to cook a burger. Since I'm not stealing their burgers to give to my friends I don't think they'll have any other interest in my cookouts. Well, I do make a really good potato salad...
In case you missed the point, RIAA is not going after people who create their own music.
Sell your Real stock now - it's going down. MS now has the power to dispose of Real once and for all.
Real is selling these songs at a loss. MS has a huge cash reserve. All MS has to do is hire some temps, give them a company credit card, and have them buy songs from Real all day long. The more they buy, the more money Real loses. Eventually, no more Real!
I can say that MS isn't going away anytime soon. Not only (in my particular division) does Exchange run the back end, but our engineers have integrated the authentication across the board. Want to check your pay stub online? Use your exchange domain\username and password. Want to check your training records? Ditto. Check the status of a referred employee? Ditto. Change health care coverage? Ditto. Pretty much the only thing that doesn't require that login is access to the 401k/pension site.
The division I'm in is heavily involved in software development for the government. Sun gets a lot of the business here because of the massive data storage requirements we have. 10's of terabytes is not an uncommon need. The government is also pushing towards more COTS solutions so until there are ready-to-deploy applications on Linux, Sun will still be around. Unfortunately, ready-to-deploy doesn't mean easy-to-deploy. My current project is a nightmare of integration...but that's a story for another day...
Thanks for the great work. System Shock 2 is one of the best PC games ever. Top 3 for sure. When, after playing SS2 late at night, you get freaked out going upstairs in the dark (can't wake the wife and kids) you know you've been immersed.
SS1 is pretty damn good too. I hope you're gainfully employed now:)

Ok, so "it seems like Firefox has finally reached 10 million downloads..." What's the actual download count then?

I work on projects that require US citizenship, top secret clearance, polygraphs. There's no way my job or our work will ever be outsourced.
BTW, we're hiring in the Ft Meade, MD area...cleared or uncleared. Unfortunately, business is booming and we're behind the hiring curve for the year.
In a fight between you and William Gibson, who would win?

Looking at the seller's feedback, we see:
works great. I get a great burn in my abs. thanks.
Famous movie props, ab workout machines. It's all the same. Who's the seller, Fred Sanford?
"$150,000?!?!? Lamont, you big dummy, no one's going to send that much money. Oh, Elizabeth, I'm comin' to join you!"

For those that weren't aware, "Aruze" translates to "Phantom".
...received and spent months ago. Maybe they applied your check to the price of the music you pirated.
I love this place.

Would Ford sue you for removing the rev limiter from your Focus?
Yes, if removing the rev limiter allowed you to distributed an unlimited number of duplicates of your Focus.
