But I don't want to use Paypal because I hate their fees. I don't have a quarter, but I will send you 4 nickels and 7 pennies via first class postal mail. Of course, it'll take 2-3 stamps to send it to you, but it's all worth it!

Interesting, I have an Nvidia GeForce 2 with an Intel chipset.
If I boot off Knoppix, as soon as Linux reaches the X-windows stage, my monitor goes into some power-saving mode and I cannot turn it back on (Yes, I know how to work around this, but it's annoying).
But I'm sure this is an X bug (It happens with the RedHat installer also, and I think it happens with the default Debian X setup). I have an old monitor (Decaview V385), so I never gave it much thought.
Is this what you experienced?

Knoppix 3.3 Is Out
·
· Score: 5, Insightful
OOo 1.1.0 is still in the release candidate state.
Knopper is very limited by space. Perhaps he didn't want to include software that's still in the testing phase? There's alot of software available in Debian unstable (contrib) , but not all of it is production-ready.
RC4 only came out a few weeks ago, and it does take some time for the Knoppix folks to put out a release ("... After 6 months of development... ").
Windows has multiple cut-n-paste buffers also (not that I ever use them).
You can hold different items in the buffer, paste them to an application in any order you want. There is some method for switching the order of items in the buffer.
So, similar to what you are suggesting, but slightly more intuitive.
Well they're right, most of the Internet is useless, so maybe there isn't an overwhelming reason to get everyone online.
The web is filled with cute-but-contentless flash animations, news sites who really just promote advertisements, magazine sites who just reprint the same content that's already in their magazines, websites filled with bandwidth hogging graphics but very little content, etc. Email is filled with spam, newsletters we never read but subscribe to anways, and indecipherable messages from our friends who couldn't write a clear letter if their life depended on it.
Some may say that we get alot of value in having a cnn.com, an msnbc.com and a cbsnews.com , but I disagree. It's all stuff we see & hear on the TV & Radio already, and most sites just report the exact same stories anyways, or they report useless news. How many fucking times do I have to hear about Kobe Bryant or the Laci Peterson Murder trial? Give me a break.
It's really frustrating that few of websites take advantage the interactive potential of the internet. As a result, we basically have just another kind of one-way news medium where the big promoters push the products to the viewer, and the viewer just sucks it up. Not very different from television.
Really, we can do away with 80% of these least useful sites, and the Internet will still be valuable tool. Maybe even more so, because we removed the kruft. But I know this is just a dream, and that the net is going to be filled with more and more crap as time goes on.
Luckily, there are a few shining examples of new technologies which really to promote good information or peer-to-peer communication-- Google, Wiki's, some discussion websites, but most of those are only good for computer-folks or heated political debates. Most non-computer or non-political discussion groups have horrible content.
Some sites do make really good use of Flash to provide useful information about their product (I'm using tuffshed.com to plan my backyard shed right now).
A few months ago I had to type up a fairly complex docu
I was getting sick of maintaining my own TOC, so I decided to try the MS word features. I started the TOC when I was 80% done witht he document, which was a big mistake. It worked miserably. Page numbers not getting updated, TOC pointing to the wrong place. MS word couldn't handle msword docs with auto page numbering , auto table of contents and/or tables.
Excellent, I now have a storyline for my Geek Soap Opera: "As the OS turns". Is your Office Suite cheating on your OS? Who shot J.R.E.? Sure, Mac OS X sure is pretty, BUT WHO ARE THE PARENTS??? If Microsft dies, who gets to keep the mansion?
I love Linux. But I like OS X a lot more.
And with a.sig like that, you my man, will cast in the leading roll!
This treads the line between laughing with somebody and laughing at somebody.
When I was in high school, the biggest school nerd was elected homecoming king (In a high school with 2000 students). It was all a big joke put on by some of the jocks & cheerleaders.
During the Half-time show during the big game, as the King & Queen walked across the field, half the crowd was laughing and jeering at him-- including the very people who put him on the ballot.
What horrible humiliation.
This is just to similar. Leave the poor kid alone. Yes he got an iPod and a nice gift certificate, but why make fun of him any further.
Yes, but if it's 3D it must have a deathmatch mode.
I can see it now:

You can disable the HTTP port by turning off "Remote Management" on many Linksys devices (I use a BEFSR41)
This is with "Remote Mangement" set to disabled. That was one of the first things that I've checked.
your firewall isn't going to let in a packet sourced from its inside interface
I just doublechecked, and from my computer (with the IP of 192.168.1.100), I can connect to port 80 on the Linksys's external IP address (IP is like 63.169.113.0), as well as port 80 on the internal IP address (192.168.1.1).
Interestingly, the connection doesn't show in the Incoming or Outgoing Log Table.
I think remote TFTP can be enabled (The "Remote Upgrade" option).
This is with latest Firmware: 1.44.2z, Dec 13 2002
One security/network citizenship point (assuming that your 10 or 192.168 network is behind a NAT connected to the outside world): your firewall/router should NEVER pass packets destined to or accept packets sourced from a fake address range (10/24, 192.168/16, etc.). This can lead to evil attacks, garbage traffic on or out of your network, and a whole host of problems.
Speaking of internal address ranges and Linksys, anyone else notice you can see the HTTP (& Sometimes TFTP) ports on your external IP from within.
So if my ISP gives me the IP of 60.82.111.1 , I can see and connect to 60.82.111.1:80 from my computer on the 192.168/16 network . I can't see it from a computer which is not on 192.168/16 (which is good).
I'm no networking expert, but it seems to me that internal networks shouldn't be allowed to connect to an external interface. Am I crazy or is this asking to be spoofed?
The shells all contain a variety of shortcut commands to make life simpler. They each contain a mini-programming language (shell scripts) to help you create your own shortcuts and automate tasks.
If you do alot of work in a terminal, then your choice of shell can be very important.
If you do alot of work via a terminal, then switching from one shell to another can be a pain and usually requires a learning curve. Imagine if your main Mac computer was replaced with a Windows machine, and now you had to learn dozens of new tricks to get the computer to work the way you want it too.
I've been using zsh for years (ksh & sh for scripting). With these tools, I could take a task that required dozens of different commands and wrap everything up in a single program which ran automaticall. Simpler, less errors, less typing.
Now I just got a job where the default shell is csh, which is a pain to work with. It's much, much harder to simplify the commands with this shell.

Um in virtually every app you just highlight text and click the middle [or both for 2 button] button.
I hate this method. If I accidently highlight any other text in any other application, I loose the items in the cut-n-paste buffer.
And then there is the case where I can hit the middle mouse button to paste some text, but if I hit CTRL-V , I get some competely different text.
I prefer the Windows method. It provides more control over what is in the buffer, and it's harder to blow it away by accident.
I have to agree.
