  6. Re:The word "revenue" on More Linux Activity in German Government · · Score: 1

    revenue FIN. & ACCTS. (1) money received in the form of cash, cheques, etc. during a particular period. (2) in public finance, the income received by the State from taxation.
    it's not even that. --> money received in a particular period can refer to differnent part of a firm's activities - operating (what the firm sells as part of its normal business), financing (eg. loans), investing (interest from cash, securities etc.) --> also, money payment can be deferred. what 'revenue' is more concerned is the amount booked for a particular period ie. the amount of sales whose obligations have substantially been fulfilled on the part of the seller; the buyer may not even pay for the sales until later (accounts receivable)

    yeah my next door neighbour had her hard disk crash on her, and while waiting for her replacement disk she survived on my KNOPPIX cd for a week using mainly gaim and mozilla. the only thing she really needed that I couldn't get working was flash (the plugin needs to write to the mozilla directory which was on the cdrom)

  9. Re:Beef w/RedHat on Postfix: A Secure and Easy-to-Use MTA · · Score: 1

    so is it better to use up2date or apt-get update && apt-get upgrade?

  10. Re:Offtopic on Practical C++ Programming, Second Edition · · Score: 2, Informative

    visual studio's IDE (well if you're a purist you can not use the visual part of VC++) allows you to debug your functions and watch your memory allocation [stack/heap] and registers as you step through. I think this is what you want.

    I guess so...the 'breaking news' on cnn.com (the one in red banner) is: Britain records its highest temperature on record -- 37.4C (99.3F) at Heathrow Airport and Gravesend in Kent. Details soon.

  16. Re:why on Win4Lin 5.0 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    "I am currently running 4.0, and have not decided whether I will upgrade" An upgrade will only cost you $30. Has the convenience the product given you been worth more than that? If nothing else, why not just support the company?

    my school is in Philly, and guess what? Today, I saw them replacing our Sun workstations with Redhat boxes...wonder what they're going to do with the Suns.

    I mainly listen to classical, and I can tell the difference between the WAV and all the way up until 320 kbps, although it gets really subtle at 320 kpbs. However, with ogg, I cannot tell the difference even as low as 128. I encode around 160 with ogg.
