If it's a software problem, am sure everyone should've been facing the same issue, considering how trivially simple a thing a vote accumulating app would/should be (unless of course the developer has goofed up majorly)
She believes it's a people problem. "I have confidence in the machines," she said. "They are touch screens. People are touching them with their palms, or leaning their hand.... They're hitting the wrong button." Why get to a stage where ppl complain at all!? Why not have the different clickable entries reasonably far away from one another?! It's not as if you have to include the names of hundreds of candidates as in here in india.
We don't need another stupid thing that adds to the ppl's woes
When it has lost all the ugly spots, why is the sun said to be hitting minimum!?! The girl next to our door with all those pimples'd say it should be called maximum.
Whatever might it be called, I hope the temperatures get down a little so I can get outside in the day (that being awake in the day is an extremely difficult thing is a different matter though)
Efforts like this won't work in our place back in India and the fish used for testing are guaranteed to suffocate within a minute in most of the water bodies.
The main problem actually in most of the areas is due to faulty distribution systems from the water-treating plants to the houses, where in some cases, the pipelines develop cracks letting stuff inside and sewage pipes (in case there are any) find a way to pass on some of their contents to the water pipelines.
The new Plastik theme is very fast and may become the default style in 3.4."
When the entire world's trying to get plastic away and replace it with environment friendly stuff, it's surprising to see the kde people going in the opposite direction.

You must be new here not to realise the thinking behind that
a) Faq says the patch's not critical b) Joe doesn't include this in the critical patches he's downloaded on to his system c) boom! the system goes down the next week because of the msplaster virus targetting this vulnerability d) Joe's not sure about the reason for the crash and re-installs the OS e) (c) again after a week f) Joe gets frustrated and contacts MS support ppl, who inform him that the brand new Microsoft Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2, has everything to avoid such crashes g) Joe buys what they say
I don't know about the status of these apps now. But the last I remember, RH8 had a point and click config applet that's a front-end for iptables. you want flexibility+power?!? spend an hour reading some good doc about iptables and save days that you might be wasting pointing and clicking else where.
On my system, all new incoming connections (except for ssh from a few servers) are blocked and all outgoing connections are allowed. Am damn sure google can get you tons of simple scripts for a minimal config. You definitely can't feel good with the same configuration in windows as you wouldn't know what god-awful-thing would be trying to call back home.
Ok! You set your point n click firewall to ask you as to what to do with an outgoing connection and you can keep getting irritated all through the day by those 'Do you want to accept the outgoing connection to A.B.C.D by the application XYZ?' dialogs
Not that you can't have spy/malware in linux and everything is safe, but the situation hasn't got to such a stage yet and hopefully would never get to
From the article It's expected that the system will not only allow users to spectate on games - as has been possible with many PC titles for years - but will also provide additional graphics and displays, similar to a sports TV channel.
However, it's still not clear whether Xbox Live TV will be implemented in titles for the current Xbox platform, or if it's planned as a feature for the next-generation Xbox console.
Guess it'd be something that doesn't need any extra effort from the developers.
Microsoft is my favourite company. No! not for windows but for this (which actually has a wonderful spectator mode, as well as a shared control mode)
From the capture of Bin Laden, to the economy falling through the floor, just about everything is considered.
Ms.Benajir Bhutto, the ex-PM of Pakistan had already claimed that Laden's hiding in the house of the president of Pakistan. So the first surprise mentioned is definitely going to be true.
The second!! It can't be true. My personal fortune teller says my earnings from the stocks I hold'd be atleast 2 millions in the next 3-4 months. Now that is a real reason why it can't be true
... the cyclotron bombarded a bismuth atom target with 2.5 trillion zinc atoms per second for 80 days, the scientist said, the team found the new element, which disintegrated in only 0.3 millisecond.
That's 80*24*60*60 * 2.5 * 10^10 (bc says 1.728 * 10^17, which isn't quite comparable to the avogadro or whatever number, but is still quite impressive) atoms to get this new element that disintegrated in 0.0003 seconds
and here I am, cursing myself and the world if I have to rewrite a stupid, tiny class.
The element's atomic mass number is 278, meaning its nucleus has 113 protons and 165 neutrons, he added.
For the lazy ppl who wouldn't have time to go through the article.
Quite surprising to see a mentioning of the atomic mass number only as the last sentence of the article, as this, and not the atomic number, actually decides whether this new element is the heaviest or not.

It might take 17 days before the start, but you might just be able to get around the world in 80 days
or may be you can't 8-|

Hope linux'd compete well against ms in this field and save us avoiding those microsoft cars' jokes from becoming a reality

Employ arrays, stacks, queues, linked lists, or decision trees to organize things?
Finally some gain for not learning anything at school.

Thank you microsoft for vulnerabilities that can take advantage of the so-far-assumed-to-be-safe data files like jpgs and zip files
txt file vulnerability anyone!?!
FAQs have been around since the beginning of the web & most of them still suck
That's because most smart people on the net do not include the really Frequently Asked Questions in the FAQS

GMail sounds great but when'd it become lynx compatible!?
or atleast links compatible!?
When they claim they don't show any graphical ads, they ought to support browser that can't display images.
(so consider plain links and discard the graphics mode of links)
Professional, well-trained actors stand the best chances under that kind of scrutiny.
Do you mean that arnie should have been a presidential candidate!?!
