If he's really an audiophile, I'm sure he will complain about the signal loss you get when you have the soundcard producing analog audio signals inside the computer.
Instead, you should get him something so he can connect his computer to his (probably already ample) 'home stereo' system, preferably through a digital connection, but if his system only accepts analog inputs, then at least digital until its outside the computer case.
if on the other hand he's just pretending to be an audiophile, get him a nice set of headphones, it'll sound better for him and disturb you less:)
I'd really like to know how many lines of code the submitter even wrote if he is naive enough to think that MS architects would design the perfect OS from the start.
In addition to the number of chances they've had to design the perfect os.... they could use better methods of software engineering such as formal methods (like Zed) so their code did what their design stated.
I would seriously hope they didn't design the tcp/ip stack in win95 to panic as often as it did, but it was just an oversight in coding.
just because you're using a non graphical terminal doesn't mean you need to be back so far in the web browsing world.... you should use w3m instead of lynx, it supports tables and frames which makes some web sites a whole lot easier to read
Some more information about the California High School Proficiency Exam:
To take it you have to either be 16, or at least in the second semester of grade 10. (I think its grade 10, it may be the second year of high school, which can vary depending on the structure of the school district)
The test when I took it (1997), consisted of about 100 multiple choice questions and an essay. You get a pass/fail grade and no other indication of how you did.
After I passed the CHSPE, I used it as a big stick to convince my High School to let me finish in 3 years instead of four. (They have since added 4 years of english as a graduation requirement; if they had that requirement when I was there, I would have just left and gone to community college without a diploma.)
After my 3rd year of high school (and my diploma), I went to a community college (california community colleges rock, $11/credit! and the administrative bs isn't too bad. I went to http://www.occ.cccd.edu). Then I transfered to the school I'm at now (guess where by email).
Yes, these are generalizations, and yet they hold true for every single person I've met who was home schooled. Some of them have been tolerable, but all too many have been highly irritating
Do you ask everybody you meet if they are/were homeschooled? I would imagine you have met several well adjusted people who were homeschooled, but threw away the 'My name is Bob. I was homeschooled' badge.
if the motherboard was sitting on the table, the computer worked.... in the case nope
After returning one motherboard (to Fry's, so it goes on the shelf again anyhow:) i figured it out, and just attached the foam it shipped with to the bottom. That fixed the short that was causing the system to not start.

you do know tar can be configured to store and set creation dates while creating and extracting archives?
The reason he wants to share the drive over multiple computers is for redundancy... if the master computer locks up for some reason, the slave can become the new master and have the same dataset. Using an NFS server won't solve the problem.
Also 100 megabit/second ethernet does not give speed comparable to having the drive attached locally... unless the drive only sends data at 10 megabytes/second (which is kinda slow these days)
if your mail server is set up right, all you have to do is edit the unix filesystem quota, and bam, they can recieve larger files (of course sending them is still a problem)
umm... the hybrid cars have gasoline engines... which generates the electricity... they don't have an ac plug (unless they have a block heater or something)
the way the hybrid cars reduce dependence on oil is that they get about twice the mpg of standard cars (don't argue the twice, its at least a signficant increase). Of course, the car is still dependant on oil, just not quite as much.
As a senior year computer engineering student, I proudly state that the most complex stuff I can do with HTML is tables. If I need more than that I either need to use wysiwig and cringe at the results, or give it to somebody else to do.
Yes HTML is popular, but since specifications change frequently (and xml looks to be the future), why should I learn the particulars now?
Of course, I'm also of the opinion that generally, if it can't be displayed in w3m, its not a useful webpage.
Java needs a preprocessor because Sun has decided that operator overloading is a bad thing, and with a preprocessor, it would be a reasonably easy hack to overload operators (after all, its just syntax magic)
Thats one of the things that really annoys me about java, its darn hard to make it fit into 80 columns when using containers other than arrays, because of the long syntax on containers.
I don't have any software boxes around at the moment, but don't most/all of them have a box of text (typically on the bottom) that says something to the effect of purchasing this box entitles you to use the contents in a way consistent with its licensing. And then usually something about if after you see the license you don't like it, you can return the box (with contents) to the retailer you purchased it from.
if the bot doesn't respond to unknown people, and all the trusted people know not to warn the crap out of it, then there will be no problem with warning levels.
I have a project on sourceforge, shear that may serve as a head start towards your goal.
Althought it doesn't currently do anything with the shell, it supports sending commands to an aimbot which then processes the command and does something useful.
To play around with it, send toastsaimbot0 a message on aim.
It is fairly easy to modify, and adding commands to do stuff you'ld like to do should not be too difficult.
It supports authentication based on aim usernames, and will work on ICQ as well (on the odd chance you are in a situation where you can access icq but not aim)
send me an email if you want more details, and/or help getting it to run.
see if you can get some ls-120 drives from dell to use in the cd-bay (its called the multibay on a compaq, i dunno what they call it on a dell), if it has a removable optical drive.
Don't tell students its an ls-120 drive though, cause you don't need them to get addicted to yet another futile media.... they read and write regular floppy disks quickly and more better than typical floppy drives, and they don't take up a usual battery spot.
Well, if everybody on one lan used that it might cause a problem, but if its just everybody using that service, the only problem it will cause is their server will explode cause they didn't remember you can change the mac address easily:)
two points... 1) grammar nazi's will point out that but is functionally equivilent to and.
2) I believe he is implying that he's trying to convert to a hard core fifty parameters on the command line and at least three or four pipes per line, but he's not there yet so he needs it user friendly still.
By allowing a user to login w/out a password, the server has authorized the client to use its services. Further more, I would argue that by responding to connection requests, the servers have authorized the client to connect and attempt further authentication. Ater all, it is fairly trivial with most recent operating systems (OS X, many flavors of unix, windows 2000, and windows xp) to firewall ports to remove access from groups of ips that are 'unauthorized' to connect.
I understand what you're saying, but I still think that that if the university or individuals have a problem with the search engine, they should focus on educating windows users on the basics of filesharing, and secure passwords.
For instance, if everybody set a secure password for their administrator accounts (on NT based systems), and made sure to share everything with a password, then his search engine wouldn't do any damage.
1 : SYNERGISM; broadly : combined action or operation 2 : a mutually advantageous conjunction or compatibility of distinct business participants or elements (as resources or efforts)
so, yes, synergy makes sense, but the poster did not specify the advantages.... thus we are lead to believe the advantage of synergy is synergy. Sadly, this is one of the more popular ways of using the word, and thus it gets blacklisted.
If the poster had specified some of the benefits of combining, I wouldn't have bitched about synergy.

Microsoft makes a free word reader (for windows platforms only i think) that you can get from their website anyhow.
I think I heard about some sort of pdf virus fairly recently too, but I don't remember the details
I agree with your other reasons, and your conclusion.

if you're going to be all text-based, you might as well use something that supports tables well, such as w3m.
w3m also supports turning frames into tables (which it can then render)

Since its not a star topology, you don't have to run cables to one return point, just between nodes.
