They tested the myth that a raw egg in your radiator will temporarily fix small leaks
Ever hear of a Vauxhall Chevette? I tried this bodge (kludge) in mine 11 years ago (the car was already ready for the scrapyard by this time) and it worked flawlessly. No more overheating, the radiator didn't leak, I could drive for more than 5 miles without having to stop and let the car cool down.
Not only does this work on TV, but it works in RW too.
They have such a tight knit community going on within MS that they think their way is the only one that works. While this is great for those people inside MS, and we have all read about how great they are to work for, it doesn't convince the rest of the world, and Court decisions prove this.
Why do they insist on being blinded by the branding? They could easily challenge Google if they did what Google does, but with a bigger brand, instead they choose to take away the very thing that Google is popular in with their own offering.
Google is NOT unbiased, Page Rankings count as a bias to me, but they are the very closest thing to it that we have.
Go look at a listing that scrolls off the bottom of the screen and use the scrollb... What do you mean it stops scrolling before the bottom of the page? You can't see the footer or the link to the next page?
This site is the one that made me install IE View extension. Flash works fine, specially with the Click-To-View, and I don't have Java on my box so I rarely need to use IE.
Anarchy? Not in our lifetime, not without a popular uprising to tell the Government AGAIN that we don't like the way they run things.
It may happen, but with the media pitting neighbour against neighbour, and tapping all lines of communication, how would one organise such an uprising today?
So if voting for X because you don't like Y is wrong, should you vote for Y?
How many names are there on the slip, 3? Here in UK there are usually 3 names. One is NOT going to win, so don't waste a vote. That leaves X and Y. You don't like either of them? What do you do with the vote that your forefathers died to give you?
More and more people are finding that there isn't a candidate worth voting for and they are all a bunch of lying puppets. When will the West learn that Democracy is fundamentally flawed?
The only people who desire the power of political office are those who shouldn't have it. Power corrupts, this is a given.
Corporate Law is here and now, bow down before our new law making business overlords.
The capacities keep increasing but the price stays much the same.
I think what the parent was trying to say is that it is a shame the price stays the same. Buying a 1GB drive years ago cost $400, it would retail today for $4, which would make building a TinyLinux or SmoothWall box a lot cheaper. Think FloppyLinux and a 100MB drive...
I like to take my hard drives apart with care and consideration, the platters in them make great coffe cup coasters, and a little duct tape on whichever side you have down stops them from scratching the desktop.
I'm tired of having to copy links to new drivers or utilities and paste them to IE to open them.
Check out the "open with IE" extension then.
Right clicking a link gives you the option to open it with IE, and the same goes for the page you are viewing.
While you're there, check out all the extensions, there are lots to choose from that extend the functionality of Firefox and make it exactly the browser you want.
you have the choice between Konqueror and Mozilla, and can uninstall the former. IE is nonuninstallable.
This is true, up to a point, and that point is not far away from being breached.
The only real use for IE on a Windows box is to run the proprietary upgrade system. IE is uninstallable, XP Lite proves this, but to do without WindowsUpdate and still install service packs is beyond the scope of most users, and administrators.
I said that this limitation was nearly breached, and so it is. If there was a way to activate ActiveX and all that other CRAP that MSFT uses to upgrade your system through your web browser for single URLs in OSS browsers like Firefox we would be able to drop IE. The ability to specify single URLs is critical, as these technologies comprise about 98%* of the vulnerabilities in IE.
OSS is coming to the Win32 platform slowly, even MSFT are making the right noises (albeit while patenting everything under the sun to maintain their stranglehold over it all).
I have pulled IE off systems before, and you lose very little functionality, but that WindowsUpdate is a killer app for all MSFTware.
Does that apply if you're using a walkie talkie then?
If so, why do you need a ham radio license rather than a phone bill?

It isn't that they don't give you the kernel source, it is that they don't give you the source for the build you are running if you install on an Athlon machine.
When I went to install something that needed the kernel headers of the running kernel it fell over with an error stating that headers != running kernel.
I got round it by compiling my own kernel, but kernel-source != kernel.athlon-source.

Oh, wait, i just realized - I bet it's because I'm using 0.8 still
Me too, I never found a good reason to upgrade without the extensions that I use becoming available, but that might never happen.
OTOH the "only for this session" option for cookies is a big reason to change over when they do.

Try hitting "CTRL +" and then "CTRL -" to up the font size, then lower it again. That will fix it right up and without /.ing /.
If you believe something, put your name to it.
I'm not disregarding what the AC said, I did read it, but I can't carry on a conversation with someone if I don't know who I am talking to, can I?
I am wrong often, but I prefer to be shown that by one person, not 5 of them all posing as the same AC.
If I were to follow my conscience I would run myself.

Yes AC, of course AC, anything you say AC.

Young people today find it so much easier to say "OF" then "HAVE" ... English is dying, and the internet is recording the death throes byte by byte.

It is now that I have the official Torrent that uses torrent.mandrakesoft.com as the tracker.
This is the link for the official Torrent, but think about joining the Club if you use Mandrake.
Can you post a Torrent then?
The ones that I have all have "tracker down" problems.
Use the torrents - lots of geeks on expensive synchronous connections are waiting to donate bandwidth to you :-)
Are there any geeks on expensive synchronous connections that can keep a tracker up long enough for us to use the Torrents?
I'm trying to grab them, but tracker down is the usual message.
