Some AC Said: Well hey, if it worked for you, the person must have clicked the 'install' icon incorrectly, or used too much pressure on the mouse button. Thanks for sharing. Really.
I really hate it when I do that... clicking on the left hand side of the icon when the programmer meant the right... it makes a big difference, I'm sure thats why so many MS Windows systems crash, someone hit the wrong side of an icon, or better yet, pushed too hard on the keys/mouse...
I'm glad my Linux servers don't have those pressure sensitive mice and location dependent icons... Is it because I use the cli, and only use the keyboard?
Seriously, it is good to know if the problem is common or not.
Bloody Eudora...It is one app i cannot understand!
storing attachents seperatly in a folder instead of with the message, encoded. This makes it almost impossible to export message, or import them from most applications.
My boss keeps going on about how good Eudora is, because you can "drag and drop" the install directory around, he keeps users on the network drive, so we can blow away machines... but it is a horible program to use/manage - once you start using Eudora, you can never migrate! ,br>
TBird, easy to export/import with... hey you can even read the mailboxes in pine, or using imap if you move them to the server - whats wrong with that? why cannot most programs use the standard mbox format? It may be a bit slower then some proprietry (sp?) system, but who cares - its not that much
Just my rant for the year - Eudora is a pet hate:-)
why not just a time lapse... 1 shot every minute, with nothing in the forground, so small movements dont do much, just get 24hours of footage and sell the dvd...
project this onto the wall using a projector... fix timezone and you would be right. same size as a 50minute dvd... but you would have the shadows move, etc.?
most programs are more like dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/dhb and loop that 4 or 5 times... /dev/zero makes it easier to recover the data then dev random with magnetic detections etc... however you are probably right that it is good enough for most people
Thats not funny, I saw nightvision google as well at first glance, I was thinking, wtf... google going covert?... team up google night vision and gmail and maybe my tin foil hat is for google

I think the good thing about/. is it is text based, a tv version? all us geeks on tv? think of our eyes... think of our eyes!
In Australia, things are different.... Regular home phone: $30/month ($360)plus calls Mobile $25 a month($300) includes $25 calls with a free phone, which has lasted 3 years. I make about $25 worth calls a month on the mobile, and about $10 a month on the landline... if it was not for the ADSL needing land line, I would ditch it.
"Desktop System" means a single user computer workstation controlled by a single instance of the Operating System. It may provide personal productivity applications, web browsers and other client interfaces (e.g., mail, calendering, instant messaging, etc). It may not host services for clients on other systems.
Also, for the GP -
"Operating System" shall mean software operating system Code (or Code that substantially performs the functions of an operating system) that is a distribution, rebranding, modification or derivative work of the Linux(R) operating system.
does mention that the "Operating System" = Linux(R)
This happend to us, cops patrol downtown, and saw us loading computers into our cars at 3am... asked us what was happening - but were cool, and let us go when the owner explained...
I have just installed amavisd-new using sendmail-milter on our new email server... set to reject the message while the connection is open. It looks like a good way of doing it.
It was a pain the the but to setup, and im going to write the docs to do it soon... but it works!
When talking about date formats... i always use something that cannot be confused eg: 21-01-2004 01-21-2004 20040121 That way no one gets confused which is the month, year, or day...
From what i understand, the GPL also does not apply if you are only internally distributing the software covered by the GPL..
The GPL states that any modified code must also be distributed under the GPL, so you must release source for the software, esp. your changes. However the GPL exempts internal distribution from this... ie you can internally distribute a binary of your modified code, and never show the source...
Also if you use proprietary code, sometimes stuff is forced on you... have a read of the Microsoft EULA for just about any peice of software... quite alot is forced on you... not all of it is to do with distribution... in fact some EULA force me to destroy any copy of the software after the term of the licence has passed.. so proprietary code does force further restrictions if the owner of the code wants to.
Thank God someone else saw that two... i was thinking i was going insane... all these ppl who did not rtfa... and just assumed the 3 years was right... i really should stop reading the articles... it drives me to insanity the arguments and all, based on not rtfa!
Internal distribution is ok under the GPL... so if i make changes and only use those changes internally to my organisation, i do not have to worry about the GPL. It is considered internal use of the software... not distribution.
With proprietry software (not all, some allow internal distribution) the licence often covers your use of the software... you often cannot use it on more then one machine.

Hole to china
Space Elevator planned:
Space Elevator 1
Space Elevator 2
Space Elevator 3
nothing on big hole to from us to china...
are you sure it was the tree that made the sound?
i think you would need a tape recorder that can tell you what the sound was it heard?
I saw this as the heading .. guess i'd better get my eyes tested soon...
It is a very smart tape recorder to be telling you what it heard... where do i buy one of those
oh you mean you heard it recorded on tape?
