No one e-mail's Word documents to recruiters. That's foolish. Sending a text resume is the commonly accepted practice, at least in the tech industry. If you really must, you can always send a PDF.
Is this a troll? If not, sounds like a hardware problem. Run Prime95 and check your temperatures to make sure you're running cool and stable. Clear your CMOS for good measure. Clean the dust out of your case, etc. These browsers don't just going around crashing all the time. At worst, you may notice some bugs with the keyboard controls occasionally.
Try the latest Mozilla/Firebird. Try Mozilla 1.2 for a really stable version. Or try 1.5RC2 (don't bother with 1.4). Firebird's latest version is very stable, too.
Honestly, Mozilla/Firebird, Opera, Konqueror all kick the crap out of IE. Though for us Linux users, IE is a non-issue, so it doesn't matter. Most people who have learned how to use one of these browsers, won't go back to IE.
Lets not forget that there is an operating system that they run under that allow them to run simultaneously. So is this implying that we'll need some kind of operating system that other operating systems run on top of? This host operating system may expose the hardware devices to the guest operating systems and make it appear as though they are the only ones running on the machine. But unlike your typical virtual machine, the processor will handle most of the instructions directly.
McDonalds is always hiring. Sell magazines. Mow lawns. Clean toilets. Oh, but you don't like flipping burgers?
Working for minimum wage is often not worth the time. I'd rather actually use my time for something productive, even if it is not immediately profitable. It makes no sense to waste away your life if you actually have some talent. Though in some cases, you can develop skills in areas where you didn't have them.
For a professional, it makes more sense to wait 8-12 months for a real job than to take a full time job flipping burgers. For some of us, it'll take 2 weeks to make the same amount as 8 months of minimum wage. Why would we waste our time other than for personal development? The money is not worth it.
he said he had roommates. In some cities, rent is cheap even in the nice areas. If you have 2 or 3 roommates, you can find a 3 or 4 bedroom house or apartment that is quite afordable. Owning a house also helps, which would eliminate the need to pay rent (though other expenses would probably make up for this difference).
In short, I think the laissez faire attitude we all have, both from accepting bugs, and about coding them ourselves is a SIGNIFICANT part of the problem. We need to raise the expectations, and hold people/companies accountable when these standards are not met.
Sometimes I wonder why people describe Slashdot as the most intelligent community on the 'net. The majority of users think that the same old porn jokes are still funny in different contexts. I can't read a page here without picturing blathering, drooling morons.
In all seriousness, I have a friend who bought a computer initially for porn, but then became very computer-savvy as a result of owning it. I think porn is a very common motivation for owning a computer. Anyone else with similar experiences?
Wow.. 50%.. That's a lot less than what it was before. That's really saying that non-IE browsers are starting to become the norm. That's a good thing. Of course, that doesn't really tell you about the operating system that is in use (unless its a browser that only exists on one OS).
So when you give $178 to charity, do you pack your bags and go and spend 2 weeks with homeless people?
Gate's is currently in Africa, in the middle of nowhere spending time in areas where malaria is rife. That's a lot of extra work to be putting into a tax write-off, or maybe - just maybe - he actually cares. But that's a concept that's lost here it seems.
Uh.. whatever. If I had that much money, I'd be hanging out all over the world, cause I wouldn't need to actually work to support myself.
As I've already mentioned, I've had malaria, its not really a big deal.
In any case, Bill Gates may care about curing diseases and all (why not?), but he certainly is very careless with his power over the computer industry.
We'll ignore the fact that on the same day, Gates donated $168 million to fund malaria research, but funnily enough, I doubt we'll see that reported here.
Big fucking deal. I've had malaria before, it was easy to get over (took a little over a week). If you can't handle a little malaria you're a pussy with a weak immune system.
We have a GNU ordained version of the SSH protocols when OpenSSH is doing a fantastic job?
If OpenSSH is doing such a fantastic job, then why have there been two remote root exploits in the last year? And yes, lsh has the same kind of problems. That's why competition between the two is good.
From what I hear lsh has a much cleaner codebase. lsh started from scratch, whereas OpenSSH took the old SSH 1.2.12 (the last free version) and fixed the known issues with it. Starting from scratch can be a good thing. You have the benefit of hindsight.
Personally, I use OpenSSH, but only internally (no access from the Internet). But I'm glad lsh exists in case I may want to switch one day.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I've never used Amazon for anything, and most likely never will. So I'm unintentionally boycotting them.
Just install Debian and apt-get install whatever you need as the need arises.
the kids are going to have a blast stealing these things.
ICQ had something similar, though not exactly. In multi-user chat, you could see what everyone was typing as they typed it. I hated that feature.
The "| clip" thing is not a WinXP thing. It's a 32-bit command line tool created by Dave Navarro.
Woah, I never knew the guitarist for Red Hot Chilli Peppers was such a prolific programmer.
Uh, no.. We're talking about unmounting drives that are in use here. So try it:
/dev/hda1 /: device is busy /: device is busy
/dev/hda1 will do the trick (forces unmount). So lets try it:
/dev/hda1 /dev/hda1: not mounted /: Illegal seek /: device is busy
# umount
umount:
umount:
so maybe umount -f
# umount -f
umount2: Device or resource busy
umount:
umount:
umount2: Device or resource busy
umount:
Nope. Looks like this is a Windows-only feature. I guess Windows must be the more powerful OS...
Take a look at this somewhat related article. It looks almost like its a response to reading Slashdot and responding with a troll.

A service like Google! 10-15 years ago would cost thousands of dollars a year if not a month. Now, that's progress.
10-15 years ago, there was no web to search. We had archie anyways.
CTRL-Z will undo just about anything anywhere in Windows. CTRL-Y also is very nice.

Here lies the problem:
1) Cheap
2) Fast
3) Secure
Pick 2
you only need the first and the last letters, so the middle letters can be complete garbage, for example:
w00t
Take a hike (use assembly language)
Doesn't change the fact that I had malaria (while in India), and recovered from it in about 1.5 weeks (maybe 2 weeks at most).
I'm not trolling here. I was 11 years old at the time when I got malaria. It wasn't a pleasant experience, but it wasn't as bad as you'd think.
Now, I saw my cousin suffer through typhoid (he was around 6 or 7 yrs old at the time). That is some serious shit.
For open source projects of course.
