Since some systems impose quotas, it isn't feasible to have that many folders at a time. Why exactly would anyone need 9 backups? Am I honestly going to choose a backup I did 8 hours ago instead of one I did 7 or 9 hours ago. You really only need 1 or possibly 2. I would also recommend zipping these backups up. It'll save space.
I have a cron job that bundles my home directory into a tarball on a monthly basis.
Ha! that's awesome, I'll have to try that. The boots of blinding speed come about as part of an actual mission even a rookie could do. You don't have to make them. I'm sure the boots of flubber would cost a fortune!
Not that there is anything wrong with running around. It just gets boring after a while.
By the way, in Morrowind, all you need is the boots of blinding speed and a bit of magic resistance and you can sometimes run from one side of the island to the other in a matter of minutes. Mix that with some long-lasting levitation and you don't have to worry about obstacles either.
Based on the screenshots of the mag there, it looks like the long grass will be the most stunning visual enhancement they want to show off.
Also, if you read some of the article off those photos, you will see that players can either move on foot or ride on horseback (oh man! That would be so sweet), and the combat is supposed to look realistic too (Braveheart style, not just some red dust flying out like in Morrowind).
If my PC doesn't meet the specs, I will upgrade it for this very purpose.
Had you RTFA, you would have discovered that he was actually ASKED whether or not he was funded by a beer company. Had he said no, it would have been an out right lie and no one would believe his studies when word of this got out.
Duke University, for example, just gave away free iPods to each of their 1,650 incoming freshman. Penn State offers subsidized access to Napster 2.0 for all students, and many other schools are now considering similar programs with Rhapsody and Cdigix. Perhaps the best offering is wireless internet access, which 90% of campuses now offer in some form.
My University offers 20mb of webspace and limited wireless access. Eat it Duke! *grumble grumble*
If the French researchers really want access to the pyramids, maybe they can petition the French, British and other governments to return some of the artifacts as a sign of good will.
Even if you could get a user to dot run as admin all the time, it's not going to help. Why? Because users WANT to run the stupid shit that infects their comptuer. They go to install Kaazaa, it says "I need root to install", you think they are NOT going to enter the root password? Of COURSE they will, they want Kaazaa on their computer, they'll do whatever it asks them to do.
That's true. But the option to turn it on at install time would be nice. Since I'm the only one in my family with enough knowledge to install what I should and not install what shouldn't, I'd like to place that restriction if I could. Then if a family member wants to install a program, I can be sure to know about it and approve it.
Did anyone find this line strange...

From the article: It had a respectable 1.6-gigahertz processor, a serviceable 40-gigabyte hard drive, a CD-ROM drive, an MP3 player, and enough other software to keep me occupied for life.
I've never seen a PC with an optional MP3 player. That's all built into the combination of OS, software, Sound card, and speakers/headphones.

Morrowind is another prime example. I still avoid exploring those caves late at night.
By the way, the emphasis on religion in Morrowind is very extensive. But like the article says, typical of RPGs, they are really just made up religions. That said, the game still emphasizes some of the more general aspects of religion such as the very real struggle between good and evil.
1. Autocomplete in forms like the autocomplete in OpenOffice. (Let me finish my posts/comments faster:P) 2. Reprocess webpages to accomodate for blocked images. I hate to see that gaping hole in the middle of a page because I blocked the image. 3. Work with tabs a bit. I'm thinking, special colours for popular web pages/questionable pages/various genres(sports, news, games, pr0n:)), group tabs from within the same website with each other. Group by relevancy to the page you opened the tab from.
And most importantly, whatever you plan to implement, upon it's integration with Firefox, it MUST be an option for the user. Since a computer can never perfectly predict a human's wishes, it's not fair to force the user into accepting this "time-saving" feature. Autocorrect for Microsoft Word is fine, but it's a bitch when it keeps trying to correct what you really want. Thankfully, it's only optional.
I'm not sure if another has commented on this (I'm not going to go through all comments to find it), but he heads a team that develops questions for a high school aged quiz bowl. That's where a lot of his useless knowledge comes from.
Remind your boss that the reason the sites look so terrible in non-IE browsers is because the sites do not conform to WWW standards. By insisting IE continue to be used indicates Microsoft should dictate what websites should look like, not the Internet inventors themselves. Surely he or she can agree that Microsoft should not be given that power. Thus, sticking to IE is not a solution, rather it contributes to the problem.
It would be nice to see a surge in resources like this give us more say in U.S.-Canada trade relations. You know, U.S. blocks trade for Canadian beef, we block trade to the U.S. for oil. Canada wouldn't be pushed around by the U.S. as much as we are now. That would be nice to see. Force America to patch up relations with us, rather than the other way around.
I'm European and I saw a documentary on TV...So yes, you do say "aboot"!
I'm Canadian (Ontarian in fact) and speak with other Canadians daily. Not once has anyone (nor myself) said "aboot". All you have is hearsay. So no, we do not say "aboot"!
With regards to just editing the sandbox which nobody monitors anyway, why not just include a rule to deny adding URLs. There is no conceivable reason to allow a user to add a URL in the sandbox.
And if your thinking "I want to practise adding links with the required syntax", it's not hard. The only thing you need to use the sandbox for beyond learning how other basic syntax works (and you can apply that to links without practising) is structuring.
I was running Redhat Linux on my laptop and was due to relieve a colleague from her computer while she left for a break at some given time (can't remember exact time, but it doesn't matter). Turns out time.windows.com is about 10 minutes faster than time.redhat.com so she was very displeased with my so called tardiness. Unfortunately, to avoid such a problem in the future, my clock now synchs with time.windows.com:(
I suppose Microsoft has a monopoly on time as well.

No-one will ever guess one that long.
Nor you to remember it.

Agreed. Further, the most useful program is a personalized shell script.

Oh, and to stay moderately on topic. I'm looking forward to installing the update once I get home. We'll see how it goes.
