I've noticed in a lot of these items that it's Google that is singled out for the headline treatment, whilst Microsoft, Yahoo et al only get small mentions in the text, usually with a desultory "Microsoft & Yahoo also filter searches" type single sentence... and usually buried well down in any article as to be practically invisible
ever heard of RAID??? just don't be stupid and use RAID 0 though... use a decent redundancy and you won't have to worry about backups... fer fsck's sake... $750 each in 4 years time is gonna be peanuts...
the tax is per household that has a device capable of receiving a broadcast signal... whether you use the device to receive said signal is by the by... I have a TV and a DVD player... even though I do NOT watch broadcast television, I have to pay the "tax" as my TV is capable of receiving the signal... They're just moving the goalposts now and defining a TV receiver as being a computer with a fast internet connection. And I reckon one of the requirements on the providers will be to notify the authoritues when you have broadband connected... same as the shops are legally required to take the name and address and pass them on when you purchase a TV...
They use Linux in order to access Internet, and they *need* a nice way to make their windows partitions writeable from Linux. As time passes, you'll see more and more such Linux users. I was very surprised to see that there is no nice way in Ubuntu to achieve that.
have they never heard of a USB keydrive??? it's so simple...
so what desktop are you running on top of that openbsd kernel then??? a fully bug fixed KDE 1??? or are you keeping things simple and sticking with the default command line...
Wasn't the purpose of operating systems to run the hardware, and not the other way around? When did the shift arrive when you were expected to change your hardware to run a new OS?
1995... when Win 95 came out...the vast majority of machines then were running win 3.1 fine but were absolute dogs with Win 95...
As a big Ubuntu fan, I hate having to ask how you made shared vfat windows partition world-writeable without editing/etc/fstab and setting the umask accordingly? I wasn't able to find another (beginner-friendlier) way to do it. And yes, I did RTFM.
see, there's your problem, you're going outside the normal installation. I DON'T duel-boot... I run Linux exclusively... I consider duel-booting to be a crutch, water wings for those too scared to go for it properly... If you're duel-booting, then there's just too much temptation to "oh, I'll just boot into windows to do this little thing"
Would she have been able to install it on her own? I doubt it. Linux is still a configuration file nightmare. No casual computer user is going to pick up "grep" and "/etc" without lots of help.
fsck off... try Ubuntu... absolutely NO need to edit any config file by hand... the installer only asks a couple of simple questions and that's it... and the next version (6.04) is even easier to install... X was done completely automatically...
I wonder how long it will be before Wine will support emulation of Vista?
who actually needs it... Wine is merely a crutch that allows you to continue running your existing investment in software. If you've been running Linux long enough, you'll know that you don't need windows at all. Caveat, the only reason anyone really needs to run windows is for the games, but then again, you may as well buy an xbox360 or ps2 and run the games available for them... you'll have far less trouble than trying to run the games available for windows... xbox360 and ps2 are stable platforms that have very well known hardware specs... the average windows pc is a complete misnomer... there is nothing standard about a standard pc...
Islam's position is clear and unequivocal: murder of one soul is the murder of the whole of humanity; he who shows no respect for human life is an enemy of humanity.
We pray for the defeat of extremism and terrorism in the world.
We pray for peace, security and harmony to triumph in multicultural Great Britain."
so why the fsck haven't THEY declared Jihad or Fatwah or whatever it should be against the extremists??? Make it absolutely fscking obvious that they have NO support from the majority of moslems
The solution lies in the hands of the peaceful majority. It's up to them to deny the use of mosques to the extremists. It's up to them to take them back.
6 tabs open... FF 1.0.7 with adblock, noscript, foxytunes, bugmenot, imagezoom & flashblock... only 7.8% of 512MB... that's a paltry 40 Meg... sheesh, my first hard disk was 32Meg... wtf have we done since the good old dos 3.2 days...
if you want to see something stupid... my university has an electronic library stuffed to the gills with etexts... I can only browse a title for 15 minutes... and if I want to read it at leisure online... I have to "check it out"" for a maximum period of 3 days...
The Open University NetLibrary collection includes over 60 general and reference e-books on all subjects and more than 3,500 freely available e-books. Browse online for up to 15 minutes per title, or use your account to "borrow" books online for 3 days at a time.
Actually, no. I have yet to speak with a single techie who says that you don't need to back up important files under any circumstances. In fact, viruses are almost always a "secondary" reason for backing up files; the primary driving reason behind backing up your files has traditionally been that of hardware failure.
Amen brother... having personally experienced two catastrophic hard disk failures... I don't want to go down that road ever again... I save important stuff off to cdrw AND usb sticks and also use a USB hard disk for backups (I regularly make sure that important stuff on that USB disk (the baby photos and the like) is also duplicated on DVD). Basically, I'm paranoid about disk failures now... the last one came with NO warning...

never a truer word spoken... Microsoft loves to coopt software... hates giving back though... just absolutely loves the BSD license

precisely... you can't get the mathematicians/physicists in the UK for what they're proposing to pay for the job...
hah... I found some 8 mil film of my Grandma taken way back in the fifties... woo was she the hottie then... pushing up the daisies now though.
The Anarchist Cookbook...
which one? Michael Bolton or Yanni???

with dialup... the lions share of the bandwidth is eaten up downloading updates from microsoft behind your back...
had a whopping 256 bytes of RAM and an 8 character single line display... you can get an emulator here...

surely it also has to be "fit for purpose"
surely the early cartoons are now in the public domain... or can we expect yet another Disney sponsored copyright term extension.

try finding all the serial numbers for those commercial apps as well...
