I disagree. I used to use Linux almost exclusively for a couple years. I recently switched back to windows (iTunes has me in its iron-grasp) and I've definitely gotten more work done. And I don't think it has to do with the differences in the OS's because I have similar programs available to me and I don't play FPS's very often.
Using the 26 letter English alphabet there can only be 17576 possible TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms). And nobody wants to settle for a five letter acronym. Three is the only way to be cool. So how about setting up a standards body to hand out these precious TLAs?
I thought it might have to do with the rumored 'gbrowser' Google-branded Firefox browser. Perhaps they are playing around with XUL in order to integrate all of google's sites directly with the browser.
My geekiness tells me that you won't hit an EOF (^D) so you'll be waiting for that prompt to come back for a very long time. Other than that I highly approve of this geek humor.;)
I used to do the same thing, but then stumbled across a number of password crackers that take this into account. They run dictionary attacks, but they also try every possible 'l33tsp34k' variation. It takes a while to run this kind of attack, but not quite as long as a plain ole brute force. I advise using password generating tools to create truly random passwords.
The second was (after actually reading the entire patent), That's my idea!
I had been working around some ideas to organize my photos by data and decided that the comment headers present on JPEGS and GIFS would be the perfect place for a date stamp. I was going to write some scripts to manage a library organized in this fashion when I realized that it wouldn't prove nearly as useful as I would have hoped unless the digital camera would store a date in the same way... I had mostly forgotten about it until I read this.
It wouldn't be so much of a problem if IE had any sort of tabbed browsing... but since every website you have open must have a taskbar icon, it gets rather annoying when it makes the jump from ungrouped to grouped, and you have to click twice to switch to the other window...
I had a couple days ago.
I was able to receive a gmail invite just fine.
I was also able to send an e-mail to a friend who still uses hotmail from my new gmail account.
Even better (given lots of spare cycles on a realatively fast CPU) is gentoo's portage system. It would be very easy to keep your software up to date using this system. I wonder if a good GUI front-end has been made for it yet? *goes to check before being coding*
Thats IT!!!
Every time I hear about this type of thing I can remember trying out a demo of exactly what you described but I could never remember the name of the company that produced it.
Thank you for saving me from the nagging fear of Alzheimer's.
what he said. My school (at my and 1 friends urging) offered an AP CS class this year for the first time. Our computer teacher is somewhat inept so I barely learned anything in the class, but with my knowledge of general programming concepts and a bit of outside study I was able to do quite well (I think). Let me know when you get your score back and we can exchange notes.
I took it. You don't get all day. I was able to finish in the time provided with some nicely commented code. Under penalty of law I cannot discuss the multiple choice questions with you but in a few days I can tell you about the free-response part.
speaking of net send on school networks... be careful with the *. I sent 'Happy Mole Day!' to my entire school one day in the computer lab and not they have completely disabled net send.:(

Recursive, I like that!

I see I'm not very observent. This was mentioned in 3 comments earlier today..
Oops!

Even more curious is this XUL interface to google. I happened across this randomly and haven't seen anyone else mention it yet.
Yeah, I noticed the FSB is still only running @ 333. ..

Yes, and we could keep the whole lot of em on a Fast Audio Revival Machine. (FARM)
I bookmarked this so when I get mod points I can come back here and give out free karma.
I wonder if moderation in this 'ghost' article is subject to meta-moderation. hmmm...
Transgaming got hit hard by this one. Any mirrors would be appreciated. I didn't get to the article in time.

Baffling!
Microsoft has actually released open-source software.
The CPL was developed by IBM and is OSI approved.
