Here I thought the remembered passwords and stored data in my Firefox browser were located on mozilla.org. Silly me -- they're on my hard drive.

Duct tape and coathangers make for good hacks as well. Yes, 'hack' means what this book pertends -- a clever hack is a way to accomplish something in a non-obvious way and/or an interesting mis-use of an object or idea.
It does not mean to break into webservers, although (malicious) hacking is often involved there too.
I hate to disagree with you here, but almost all LCD monitors come with similar disclaimers about dead pixels. Go to computers.com or some other ratings site and read up on how many dead pixels in what zones of a screen are allowed before the screen is declared "defective".
I'm quite delighted (and always have been) with how efficiently written E is.
I've been using it since my Pentium 150 with a few megs of ram and I have always been happy with it... except when epplets overran my.enlightenment config directory.
I like to use Blackbox as my WM when I'm gaming; I have all my games as links from the menu and I know my WM and other apps aren't using up all my system resources.
Last I checked, and I've noticed this since the first time I used Google News, the images are credited seperately from the articles and point to the original source, which may be different than for the article clip shown.
I always got the feeling that "Save a copy" was supposed to help you think of documents in terms of whether you had the right to make yourself a copy or just view the one online.
The fact that your computer *has* a copy if you're reading it being left out of the picture of course.
I wish I had moderation points left -- this is a good point. A felony charge for something like this is just way over the top.
It seems to me that too many people think of porn as being the multi-billion dollar industry and forget about their holiday photos skinny dipping or the f-word showing up in their blog.
Considering the amount of actual code Miguel has written in his lifetime, if he thinks the Mono technologies he's working on will make programming easier/better, I'd probably trust him on that.
I agree -- many parsing jobs are much simpler doing basic character-at-a-time C code, especially validation.
If you're searching for occasions of something or other in a long document, grep is obviously going to be an easy way (with regex's), but if you want to extract the hostname from a URI, just code it.
There are also popups that aren't really pop-ups but simply CSS overlays of the current web page. Closing the current main window should make these go away as well.
And here I thought that NFS-mounted/usr gave me managed roll-outs.
Silly me.
Considering how remote X terminals actually work, and how a centralized server structure has been in use with *nix systems since long before MS "invented" terminal services, managed roll-outs are a non-issue.
For those not paying attention -- you just log in to a remote server on which all your software is installed; there is no software on your "PC" so there's no need to do a roll-out.
I was offered a 50% raise from my current employment around Christmas time to move about an hour away and work for a different company in my direct area of knowledge. However, it required signing a "everything you make while working for us belongs to us" agreement. I explained that I would never work for such a company. They sweetened the pot, and I still said no. So far, I don't yet regret my decision. Were I unemployed, I'm not so sure -- but I'm glad my present employer is more enlightened.
I've been using Gnome for a long time now, and still run something resembling Gnome on Enlightenment. I was part of the original mailing list for user interface guidelines and realized early on that the programmers in the project were not the least bit interested in what non-programmers thought of UI.
I happen to be a programmer; I write both Linux and Windows software, primarily POS software and back-end middleware daemons. I know a thing or two about users and consistent interfaces.
Time and time again however, unless I wanted to put 30 hours of my own time into fixing something that someone else wrote, nobody cared what I or anyone else thought. The worst of it was that nobody bothered getting opinions or working out details on how the software they were writing should work *before* just writing it.
Hack-fest software is great fun, but if you want good software, please put some thought into it, and value the opinions of those with more experience than yourself.

I was wondering the same thing.
Oh well.
And if the reply was meant as a secondary joke, it sucked.

Otherwise, I use Enlightenment, fwiw.
The Beethoven example is only true because the *performance* is Copyright.

We're talking next-generation here, lets see some 7.1 or 9.1 DTS support instead.
According to this article DTS will be in the PS3, but we'll just have to see what kind of channel support there is.
Don't forget, you can output Dolby Digital Mono as well (my satellite receiver gives me one of my TV stations as DD Mono - center speaker only).

And here I thought Utah was a 'freedom' state. I'm confused now.
If you'd ever lost your entire music collection due to DRM limitations, you'd want this software too.
*legitimate* music.
Here's how this works -- if I steal the music, sue me. If I'm buying the music, let me do whatever I want with it.

Here in Ontario, Canada, computer techs aren't guaranteed overtime pay -- they're an exception to the rule.
Yay for me.

That would explain why the little green arrow showed up in my browser one day and I clicked it and it upgraded me.
Jeez, I thought that was awfully difficult compared to the 5 clicks I go through on Windows Update.
I left Google feedback about Google News once and a flesh and blood human responded within a day with questions and input.
How many of you have registered Winzip instead of clicking through the "I agree" every time or modding it?

Gimp works. Grip does not.
They don't need to make localized copies of the product, they just need to not use/monitor the content of those users.
