I'm sure a million people will want to see this, but not everybody knows how to start it.
Once you expand and extract this puppy, just cd into the folder it made and, assuming Java is properly installed on your machine, you need only run:
java org/jxul/xulrunner/Main
Good luck, and enjoy! The browser's still lacking in many obvious areas, but it does work on a lot of sites. Too cool -- props for all the hard wo\

Can we just lose the penny and round to the nearest nickel? Nothing costs less than a nickel anymore, with the exception of a few things which are only purchased in bulk anyway.
We've been rounding tax and all to the nearest penny for a long, long time. Rounding to the nearest nickel won't hurt anything.
Sure, but I don't think Nintendo is interested in driving the used/classic cartridge market. They'd rather up the interest in the GameBoy, as it's current product.
I've been pretty well affected by Slashdot Karma Race.
Ever since the put a cap on level-ups, the fun has been gone!:(:(:(

Spam Meeting Wrap-up

What's wrong with viewing the full headers and sending a mail to abuse@lastvaliddomain.com?
What's wrong is that many major ISPs do zero about spammers, and the ones who do will usually end up zapping the guy with the open proxy or the poorly secured CGI mailback form, not the guys who actually cause the problems.
Not exactly the original question, but for more than two monitors, your best bet is to grab ATI Radeon PCI cards for each additional head. You can get them at around $60 per head, as opposed to many times that for the Matrox 3 and 4 head solutions.
If you're using DVI-D LCDs in the mix, don't grab nVidia PCI cards if you can avoid it. Their driver support is flaky at best when more than one card exists, and the unofficial (free) nVidia drivers only support DVI-D on the head the machine boots on.
I agree with you, too. A better balance needs to be struck, between the extremes of 'everything is locked up for 150 years' and 'screw the companies, I can do whatever I want if I think I deserve it'.
Easy. Low-volume distribution of digital materials needs to be secure in order to make sustained availability work. DRM.
Or copyright law could be rolled back to only protecting work for a short time, enough to protect works for a reasonable sales period before letting them fall into the public domain. This was the original intent of copyright law; it was meant to be like patents: a method of encouraging creation, but not of restricting the use of the result longer than needed.
I wonder if a kernel could realize many of the same performance benefits with current filesystems by identifying directory inodes and small file inodes and lowering the probability of those falling out when it's time to free pages.
whenever you buy a new stick of RAM, run memtest 86 on it for an hour or so. It can save you weeks of problems.
Hee. An hour isn't much with memtest86 unless you're testing a 128mb 800mhz RIMM.:-)
Run it until ALL of the tests have completed at least once with the CPU cache disabled. Unfortunately, this does take quite a while. But give a day to it. At today's densities, RAM is pretty easy to damage, and it's nice to be sure.
I have a number of sticks of memory that will pass memtest86 running all night just fine. The test that uncovers the problem is to compile the linux kernel, then gcc, then glibc. If it makes it through those, then the memory is good.
Erm, there are actually a few programs out there called "memtest86." I promise you that if you're using this one then if that stick fails consistently (erratic RAM failure is pretty much unheard of outside of unusual operating environments) then memtest86 will find the problem.
This is the same program that Crucial uses to determine whether they should resell memory that's been sent back as bad.
This should have been "from the slashdot-editors-don't-get-out-much dept."

Erm -- I was about to point out the same thing.
At the United Center in Chicago, they fire tee shirts up from the court area during Bulls and Blackhawk games, and we've gotten them flying into our top tier -skybox-. This is not new technology!
Many memory sockets aren't made to spec, and end up not letting wider (Micron, Hitachi) memory sticks or narrower (PNY) memory stick seat properly.
Everyone + dog had problems with the ABit KG7 not letting Micron memory work, but working wonderfully well with cheap nobody-brand sticks. The suggested solution is usually "ebay your memory, remove the board and put it on a hard surface to install your sticks, or be prepared to flex the hell out of your board and pray nothing breaks."
Businesses hire PR people and give them reassuring sounding positions all the time. If you've ever dealt with someone in "customer assurance," you know that all you get is a dead end with a happy face painted on the wall.
A company like DoubleClick makes its money by leveraging personal information, which means compromising your privacy. You can bet that they didn't install someone to obstruct their core business, which means you can assume that a privacy assurance position is another nicely titled PR position. This gal is going to be someone who's good at deflecting arguments with ambiguities and word games, reframing situations in a positive light and altering vocabularies in ways that make it impossible to express concise complaints such that popular media can digest them.
So what was the government looking for if she got the job? You can be pretty sure that they didn't hire her because she was good at stopping DoubleClick from watching you. The found someone who's very good at spinning privacy violation to look like something else. Be prepared to hear a lot of Orwellian doublespeak and creative twists of the tongue.

Methinks the database still needs more data. :-)
The same damned thing's true of most web designers.

This has got to be one for the records. :-)

But does it do dselect? I want dselect before I'm ready to consider anything non-Debian. (Serious)
Running my 128 in double clock mode broke virtually all my C64 titles. Even GEOS didn't benefit properly without buying all new software. :(
Oh, just mod me down and get it over with. :-)
If you're springing for the DIMMs, then you're my new best friend!
Are you sure Solaris selects small files and directory data over chunks out of long files? That's the key thing here.
I wonder if a kernel could realize many of the same performance benefits with current filesystems by identifying directory inodes and small file inodes and lowering the probability of those falling out when it's time to free pages.
