1) Get this 2) Set this as default 3) Query the album name
You should have it downloaded within 20 minutes tops. It's fucking worth it though. I'm a huge Beatles fan and I enjoy a lot of modern rap, so this was a great joy for me to find this album. I don't see why EMI is so pissed off anyway.
These were cute when they first came out, but I kind of feel that people should spend more time enterprise-proofing their Open Source applications than crafting poetry into silly little code snippets that don't do anything of significance.
If Microsoft did this, you would make fun of them. But since it's Perl, apparently it's OK.
Meanwhile, we've got Firebird, which crashes every 10 page loads, we've got GCC, which pales in comparison to Intel's compiler, and Linux *still* isn't desktop-ready for the future of home PC computing.
But that's OK, keep wasting our Open Source talent and man-months on these haiku contests. Yeah, that makes sense *sigh*.
It will benefit AMD, Germany, and us as consumers. They will product better quality products at lower price points. There's not much to lose here, really.
I think it will also benefit the Linux community because AMD tradiationally delivers a better price/performance ratio than Intel. AMD getting better can only mean that Linux's power increases, both server-side and on the desktop.
I just downloaded the official MOZILLA 1.6 release. I got the whole version -- the browser, mail client, newsreader, IRC chat, etc. I had previously just used the Firebird Web browser and used a web mail service.
Well, I hooked up a secret program that downloads mail from my web mail service (Hotmail) and directly into Mozilla email. Let me tell you -- Mozilla's junk mail filtering is AMAZING.
I had over 200 messages the FIRST time I downloaded them all, and it accurately marked probably 98%+ of them as SPAM if they were spam. I never had to even look at them, it automatically put them in a junk mail folder.
I wish EVERYONE used this kind of powerful mail client as Mozilla Email. I called my mom, even, and suggested she go to mozilla.org to download it and just give it a try. I can't imagine NOT using this.
SPAM is killed DEAD in its spot by Mozilla. Great work and many kudos (and many saved hours of email deletion) to the team!
I don't see why people are all surprised and start making jokes when they find out that Microsoft Corporation owns a few dozen Apple computers.
Surprise surprise -- Apples are largely the top-rated boxes for computer graphics and animation. And I'm sure some of that goes on at Microsoft, even if only in the human resources, marketing, and administrative departments.
Microsoft's a big company and makes decision based on how they help the company's bottom line. And Macs are great with certain tasks, so why not use them?
The fact that they have a business unit should be no surprise to those of us who actually have jobs and work for a software company!;-)
Often times, humans ONLY talk about the QUALITY of film versus digital p1cs, whereas there's another HUGE component that we must take into consideration -- CO$T!
Irregardles$ of whether or not film produces CLEARER p1c$ than digital, there's something you CANNOT deny, even if you're a brilliant computer scientist from MIT named after a popular '70s folk guitar duet.
This point is the following, nigs -- ONE BILLION DIGITAL CAMERA PICTURES COSTS ME $0.00 TO TAKE. The same number of pictures with a TRADITIONAL camera would cost TWO-HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS.
And no, that's not an Austin Powers quote. That's authentic math/film work.
I had a job out of my doctorate program working at Eastmann, so I KNOW what I'm talking about.
I commend them. Anyone still taking regular pics is either RICH or STUPID!
I realize this isn't exactly on-topic, but I'm having a REAL tough time with some things in my life right now.
The kids are very expensive. I fear my wife doesn't RESPECT me anymore. I think she might even be cheating on me with the department chair. My research is really time-consuming and not going anywhere anytime soon. The books, which I thought would write themselves, just AREN'T coming out as fast as I thought they would.
So I'm a bit disenchanted by things right now, and I think with the cold winter months and lonely Sundays, I'm contemplating just ENDING it all.
So if you don't hear from me again, well, fill in the blanks I guess. Sorry to let you down.

This analysis includes all sites, but the more realistic and "telling", if you will, analysis would be to look at ACTIVE sites ONLY.
That analysis has been done, and the results were that during 2003, considering new sites, Apache was chosen four times more often than IIS.
Apache has 77.54% marketshare, and IIS only has 19.06%.
OPEN YOUR FUCKING EARS, MICROSOFT - Apache was over three times more popular than all other web servers put together.

Doom 3 Vaporware no More

· Score: -1, Offtopic
Friends, I just researched this this MORNING in fact for my son's birthday gift, and I found that it's priced as follows:
Doom 3 PC - $54.82 - WAL-MART DOOM 3 with Bonus! - $54.99 - EBgames.com Doom 3 - Windows - $59.99 - Best (Worst!) Buy
PLEASE don't waste $5+ at Best Buy. If anything, get from Circuit City and not Best Buy because Best Buy costs a lot to return items there, whereas Circuit City lets you return anything, hassle-free, for 30 DAYS. And that's only if you HATE Wal-Mart.
I know a lot of people who HATE Wal-Mart because they're ruining American culture and various small towns across the country by putting Mom & Pop stores out of business. It's just not right what they're doing.
But still, they have DAMN good prices, so I buy stuff from Wal-Mart all the time because my salary (and higher education salaries) just AREN'T what they used to be. I barely make enough to support my wife and children.
Enjoy the game though. Here's a description of what to expect: # Take part in a terrifying battle with the forces of the Hell. A massive demonic invasion has overwhelmed the Union Aerospace Corporations' Mars Research Facility, leaving only chaos and horror in its wake. As one of only a few survivors, you struggle with shock and fear as you fight your way to Hell and back in an epic clash against pure evil.Blast away through intensely realistic and visually stunning environments # Enter a frightening 3D landscape # Experience realistic physics and surround-sound # Encounter real-time dynamic lighting # Compete in vicious multiplayer action where shadows can be used to your advantage
A good friend of mine, Russ, has a great and interesting and THOROUGH page detailing everything you could ever want to know about Mindstorms.
His page, at http://www.crynwr.com/lego-robotics/, discusses the internals in great detail. You really won't believe how ADVANCED his knowledge is, so you've gotta check it out for yourself.
The page contains EVERYTHING about these amazing toys. I can't believe they're being discontinued. It's probably due to kids having too many activities (to beef-up their resumes) and videogames/television/radio taking up their time. No one sits down anymore to spend quality time with their family and build toys like these Mindstorms. We all have our own schedules and stuff, and it's probably NOT good for America in the long term.
Enjoy these links and much more on Russ's page! I helped him with the HTML code;-)
