...and I was always the golden boy, and that I'd never lose the light in my eyes. Dunno 'bout his towel, but he's certainly got his Pink Floyd (Hint: Division Bell).
I recently wrote a little book for an ex gf of mine. Of course, she wasn't my ex at the time.
I put myself a task, or maybe a responsibility of writing everyday, for a couple of hours at least. It helped that I did it in cool bars in a great italian city. I can't tell you the satisfaction after a week of doing it: the joy of having made good solid work, of having something I did under my hands.
You just need to start doing it, and keep on it. It's absolutely worth it.
I especially added the "or unknown to the US" bit because I know Poland isn't that small at all. I live in Italy. I'm no expert, but I do have an idea of people distribution in Europe.
This belittling of small (or unknown to the US) countries is especially stupid after Poland was the one country foiling the last attempt at software patents in the EU.
I think you'd be surprised that Italy, one of the G7 countries and led now by Berlusconi (to the right of Attila the Hoon, some would say) has the exact same tax. 100 euros per year, regardless of whether your tv is not connected to the network and you use it only for gaming.
Note it's not adding RSS to the browser but to the "OS", in an IE-is-part-of-the-os way. Perhaps they mean they'll add some karamba or gdesklets style thing to the OS with RSS capability. Which is still non-innovative but hey, that hasn't stopped them before.
Everyone in the press seems to be thinking that now, magically, Apple computers will be price-competitive with wintel computers, or that OSX will be compatible with most computers out there. I see the need to spin and "create" news, but there's no indication whatsoever that this will be the case.
Furthermore, some Apple honchos have stated that Mac OSX will _not_ be available for common computers.
Arguably, if the employees are happy, they work better. That normally reflects itself in better service. You know, service to you, the customer. If they also let you see the concerts, I don't see a reason to whine. Some people might not like the two artists involved, but that's hardly amazon's fault.
Oh! You found a legal win2k version free of IE and OE? Tell us where to get it, please!
Seriously, if the company itself says "IE is an integral part of the OS", then bugs in IE _are_ bugs in the OS. Almost the same with OE: if they make the system and the app so broken that malware can infect the system so easily through email, they get to be blamed.
To clarify a bit: this was at least 2 years ago, and I really don't know or want to know how things are now. I dropped out of Chem, and if I don't have to use a spreadsheet to draw scientific charts ever again, I'll live a happier man.
Still, I'm really grateful to the OpenOffice.org dev team for their product. Great piece of software.
I doubt it. When I used office products in college (Chemistry degree) I had to really push Excel and Calc regarding to graphs, charts and equations. Yes, it was not what they're designed for, but that's what we used, along with Microcal's Origin and some other pieces of software.
Calc is not bad for that kind of work, but at the time the differences with Excel meant either that some functionality was missing or that it wasn't exactly the same, so I had to rearrange the graphs and charts when passing from one to the other.
The control panel is mcc (mandrake control center). A click on a nice icon in the menu or in the panel, or just typing
mcc
in a console will bring up the root password prompt (graphical).
sshd: you can turn it on from the control center, from a console calling
/usr/sbin/drakxservices
(asks for password) or using su and
/sbin/service sshd start
Security patches: through the updates system (has three levels of updates: security, corrective and normal). This is accessed from mcc again, and there's obviously a command from console, which I don't remember, to bring up the graphical interface. I use
urpmi.update -a && urpmi --auto-auto-select
which require root status, and update everything. So I su.
Mandrake Linux does just that for the things it has tools developed. And if you login as root (graphical mode) it _seriously_ tries to dissuade you. Wallpaper in bright red, popup warnings, reduced access to common applications...
The idea is to occasionally use su from console or directly to open graphical apps and fill in the root password if needed. I find it very nice.
For example, if I downloaded an rpm package, clicking (or doubleclicking) on it would offer me the possibility of installing it. If I chose it, it'd ask for the root password and only then proceed to install the thing.

But Namco already has the Pac-man trademark.
With backporting of patches and further testing, I seem to recall. It's tested enough, they say.
I think I speak for all of us (at least, all the people not affiliated with this) when I say:
FUCK! Stop it, you lecherous thieving bastards! Enough already!
This has been a cry of impotence. Thank you for your attention.
Careful! If he realizes this, he'd have to make three movies to "tell the true story" about it.
I notice the full name is "Department of Homeland Security". That's shortened more properly to "DOHS". Now, where have I heard "d'ohs!"?
Striking coincidence...

PVP said it first
Yeah, and the other 90% from making changes to the .doc and .xls format so you have to buy a new version of MS Office.
Penny Arcade are, as always, right on the money.
I just use my hotmail account (to the name of "klaatu barada nikto" :) ) for this stuff, and other accounts for real email.
So that when you do lose the password, you cannot get a new one. That sounds practical!
Yeah. And soccer is just 22 guys running after a ball. What a stupid game.
