Now their Op-Ed pages, on the other hand, vary greatly.
Yeah, sometimes they put it on the front page.
Some op-eds are worthwhile, some are so-so, while some, especially the refuse spewed out by KarlRove-lite David Brooks, aren't worth the energy of clicking the mouse button.
hide it anywhere you want. i'm still using 10.3, and don't have to upgrade to 10.4 anytime soon (although i'm anxious to get a new Mac). i can wait until there's a fix for it, thankyouverymuch.
I have used a software firewall (Zone Alarm) with IE running on XP Home SP2 for the past 6 months.
All I had to do was set ActiveX to always prompt, set the security and privacy to high, refuse cookies (not needed but I hate them) and I have never had a piece of spyware on my system. I still scan for Virus, spyware and adware twice a week with Norton AV, MS anti-spyware, and AdAware.
this is one of the main reasons i've stopped using windows unless absolutely necessary (and even then the rule is to try VMWare...rebooting is a last resort). i used to make a hobby of updating, scanning, securing, tweaking...uggh! Windows is a high-maintenance OS, and i have grown weary of it.
i use OS X and Linux, as does my wife, and my PCs run hella good. if you wanna spend all your time trying to figure out Security Zones (which i have NEVER fully understood, and i'm no slouch), Privacy Settings, and tracking down some obscure checkbox in a well-buried dialogue box, go right ahead. i'll be using my PC in the meantime.
I personally like the idea that no matter what computer you open a PDF with, it will look the same (unlike Word, which sometimes doesn't even look the same from one PC to the next using the same version of Word, ugh). PDF forms are becoming more common now, which considering Word's weaknesses in this area, is a good thing.
at work, we've used PDFs to share files with restrictions (printing and editing disabled, password protection, etc). PDFs are an excellent way to make sure that the people you're sharing with see the documents exactly as they're supposed to look.
10 people would reply to his post saying that he is using the wrong wording because he didn't actually murder him. Then Obi Wan would have to qualify his wording by saying "Its true, from a certain point of view."
you really think it would only be 10? this is./...i've seen entire discussions spark over lesser statements. you must really be a glass-is-half-full guy:)
I've used Nvu. It's not the same. I want to know if Mozilla is planning to hand Composer over to Nvu or develop it themselves. If they develop it themselves, will it be stand-alone or a Firefox plugin?
...can an article about Linux vs. WinXP vs. OSX degenerate into a thread about the particulars of Unicode and apostrophes that, as of right now, took me 7 page-downs to get through.
Well you should use your Safari and go see the rare, and wonderful FireFox remember, though shoot with a camera not a gun. It is a shame that getting to go on Safari is so expensive though. Oh well for most people going on Safari is something nice to try but you ride a firefox for life.
Wouldn't the MS product have an unfair advantage... after all, isn't the Redmond crew responsible for a lot of that stuff anyway?
i don't really think this is a troll. MS kinda has an inside track on the under-the-hood parts of windows. i wouldn't call it unfair per se, but it does seem to be an advantage. $0.02
I've toyed with thin clients in the past. I know you get the single point of failure issue, but that can be solved with backups, redundancy, etc. That way, you worry about the updates on the server, and the clients don't have to be bothered with it. It may be an old-ish solution, but in some cases (especially offices) the fewer full-blown PCs you have to admin, the better.
man, this happens every time mozilla comes up... "what about [insert whiner's favorite browser here]? why is it always mozilla?" look, it's simple: the mozillas are FREE (no ads you have to pay to remove), they support standards, they're cross-platform, and they work well. besides, lynx isnt for everyone.
These guys couldn't care less about our way of life, except to the extent that it requires us to steal their oil to keep it operating.
steal the oil? are you f***in kidding me? have you BEEN to a gas station lately? have you seen the price for one barrel of oil nowadays (nearly $50)? there's no way that these middle-eastern countries want us to leave....we're funding them! the terrorists, however, just want us dead. period. you think they wouldn't blow up moveon.org convention just as quick as they would a pro-war group? they don't care. deal.
...a serious Republican like Arnold would let something like this out. I figured he and his people would've thought Open Source software was too fast-and-loose appearing, too ideologically different to use.
i dont get this mentality. i'm in the conservative/libertarian camp, and i use FOSS wherever i can. i use it at home, got a Samba server at work, etc. i have never thought of Open Source as an idealogical problem, and i certainly don't associate it with communism. quite the oppsite--using the GPL and sharing your code is a conscious decision, and people are perfectly free to use it or not. free market, baby;)

And Paul Krugman is just peachy. Bah.Yeah - I look to Newsweek to insure the stories backed by credible evidence ... oh wait.
HAH! I'll see your Newsweek and raise you a CBS.

you might get even better results if you try "gambling" instead. give it a shot... ;)
hey, when did they change "Funny" to "Flamebait"?
they turn people away now?

i believe the phrase is "GIT R DONE!", and has nothing to do with dogs (unless heavy drinking is involved).
you'd do well to learn some redneck, then try again later.

Composer is the only reason I keep the Mozilla suite around now. Will it be a standalone product? A Firefox extension like ChatZilla?
speaking of Kyoto, i don't remember seeing the sun as one of the participants. and they scoffed at the US...

I use StyleXP which skins explorer to make it look really sleek. :)
so you CAN polish a turd? wow, gotta get a new line now...

Samba
Ad Aware

I'm having trouble installing it. XP keeps telling me it doesn't know what to do with a .tar file.
try 'fdisk c:\' first...that should clear the way
