Often I encounter PDFs online which I'd like to read in/on the backyard/holiday/couch. Besides the obvious buying, does anyone have tips on specific printershops/chains that cheaply print and bind stuff like this? Prices, perhaps?
...completely turn off the usage of the swap file [...] As far as I know this is impossible in Windows XP.
Actually, it's quite possible.
To do this click, START>Control Panel>System then the Advanced tab then click the Settings button under "Performance". Then click the Advanced tab there then under Virtual Memory click Change and reassign the swap file to "//./nul".
Voila! Now whenever Windows XP requests virtual memory, an infinite amount is readily available from this "null device". And the good thing is, it's immediately cleared up!
Give up downloading pr0n videos so fatcats can talk over VOIP?
Wait till you have kids. Let's say, two sons and one daughter. And you still have the same pipe you now have. And you want to VoIP with a colleague because you're working home today. And let's, for the sake of argument, say that they are in puberty.
The very same university that banned masturbation because of concerns over loss of sight.
Everybody keeps saying that, but *bumps into table* do they bring proof *spills coffee* of this myth? *smashes toe into doorstep* Nope, not a bit! Now where are my glasses?
This is not at all innovative. The Fraunhofer institute started a project called "Ambient Agoras" (yeah, funny name) literally years ago which included some sort of table around which people could gather. It would cooperate with panels on the wall and everything would be touchscreens. You could drag and drop or really "throw" items from the table to the wall displays.
Have you thought about using a complete virtual machine instead of a simple webhosting account? Check out any of the following companies: Redwood Virtual, WestHost, eApps, UnixShell, PigsCanFly, etc.
You have root access to an UML instance with your own IP address. You can install everything you want. Everything? Everything.
At some point in the above-mentioned plot, mostly around the end, you should laugh like a maniac, like "BWA HAH HA HA HA HAAAAAAaaah". For more information, see this entry on Wikipedia
You should've done a few lessons of Judo and boxing. I don't like sports either, but I have the discipline to last about 15 lessons. Even those 15 make a difference in self-confidence.
Well I have to admit that modeling sounds kinda fun:) Ever done anything when such agencies approached you? It would be cool to catch a few models throwing up behind the scenes;)
There's nothing I hate more than having to go through some recruiter (who often turns out to be a scumbag)
So? Treat them like scumbags. Dogs, even. I've been burned once, but it won't happen again. Here's a typical conversation:
Recr.: "I've got this nice position here and there with lots of opportunities and it'll be great!"
Me (looking for embedded software job): "Okay. What is the job description?"
Recr.: "Well, you say you're looking for embedded software job, but you've got Oracle on your resume. So it concerns a client with *"
Me (breaks him off): "Look, I told you I don't want any other job. If you don't have it, it's okay but then we can't do business."
Recr.: "But the opportunities will be great!"
Me: "OK thanks, I hope to hear from you later."
*phone on hook*
Be polite, but firm. Don't budge. They need you, not the other way around. Just hang up if you're fed up with him/her. They often make appointments without your permission.
This is a standard strategy. Quest also killed off TOra. Quest sells database development tools for Windows and TOra runs on Linux. They killed TOra by employing Henrik Johnson, see this article: TOra Project Looking for New Maintainer.
At the time, I told a colleague senior developer and was absolutely amazed when Quest offered Henrik a job. He immediately said: "I think they're going to kill it". I thought he was being an old mouldy and complaining senior developer, but hey he was right...

That's your experience on the subject? If so, it would be interesting to give a few examples of how (and how much) this paid off.

Ah. So that's what she calls it. Her "ferret".

Five hours of fiddling with IP tables can save a 5 minute lecture to your kids :D
Well, I don't know about you, but I can't imagine my kids won't have their own computer just like they'll have their own stereo etc...

Whiner.

You forgot to add "in my humble opinion".
You have a point, though.

Have you thought about patenting this great concept?
You have root access to an UML instance with your own IP address. You can install everything you want. Everything? Everything.
What about the smell??
We are the Borg. We are huge fans of immersing children in technology.
Ah, classics! Then what better way than to start with The C Programming Language?! Makes for great bedtime reading!!!

Immediately slapped with '-1, Troll'. So mods do have a sense of humor.

Think about how much juice these things suck when you leave them on 24x7... Then tell the wife. Then see your uptime plummet.
Remember, Oracle didn't become so huge by being nice.
Oh, and your software rocks!!

I get strong vibrations from that bear.
