well what happens when the goat or sheep starts crapping all over your lawn? thats just more work. and you would need to fence it too to prevent the animal from escaping.
what amazes me is why the VAST MAJORITY of people continue to use hotmail, the crappiest email service ever. with its whopping 2 mb of space, irritating user interface, MS adverts, and many many other annoying features.
most people use it because 'it's good enough' and 'it's what everyone else uses' . well, they would know what a bad service it is if they use something else and have a comparison.
i think the bigger issue is what can be censored and what can't.
if racist websites are censored, then the gays will want the same for gay-bashing websites (which as you can agree will be accepted by some and frowned upon by others, and not neccessarily by a large margin).
how do you choose? this is just an ingredient for confrontation and i think it may be better to not go ahead with this.
10 bonus karma points for the first person to write a worm that exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft's AV software!
you say this as a joke, but seriously there are going to be some losers out there who will attempt to find, and exploit vulnerabilities in their AV app.
i think MS is making a big mistake and should leave the virus software to 3rd party developers.
HIGH BIDDER HAVE TO HELP FOR SHIPMENT & PAY ALL SHIPPING FEE, DUE TO ALL ITEMS MIGHT OVER 100KGs !!! HIGH BIDDER MAY HAVE TO PAY SOME THOUSAND US$ FOR SHIPMENT
that's gonna be one hell of a shipping cost. it may be cheaper to rent a ship and go to hong kong to pick it up yourself:)
i guess if you are willing to pay 100k it may not be a big deal.
i tried spamcop, have a feeling it's not very effective. i continuously sent reports for the same spam emails that i received multiple times, it did not work. i continued receiving them and concluded that it was a waste of my time. i just use a junk filter now.
i can't remember getting sleep like i could when i was a child, sometimes it takes me time to fall asleep, when i was kid, it was so easy and so restful.
this device just speeds up the process to make you fall asleep, doesn't improve the sleeping too, which i think is what a lot of people need.

what is the real difference between 16x discs and 8x discs? what physically makes it writeable at one speed but not another? i've wondered about this for CD's too.
Switched to X11R6.7.0 from X.Org. Thanks to those who sent comments to
x@slackware.com. Seems the community has spoken, because the opinions were
more than 4 to 1 in favor of using the X.Org release as the default version
of X. I think I've heard just about every side to this issue now, and it was
only after careful consideration and testing that this decision was made.
It's primarily (as is usual around here) a technical decision. Nearly
everyone else is going with X.Org and it seems to me that sticking with
XFree86 it spite of this would be asking for compatibility trouble (indeed,
we saw some issues between X.Org and XFree86 4.4.0 until a few things in
XFree86 were patched). I also noticed that the ATI Radeon binary drivers
designed for XFree86 4.3.0 do not work with XFree86 4.4.0, but do work with
the X.Org release. Something I'm *not* in favor of is dragging around two
nearly identical projects, so XFree86 4.4.0 has been moved to the/pub/slackware/unsupported/ directory on the FTP site.
I'd like to take this moment to thank the XFree86 Project for all the truly
amazing work they've done all these years, and to wish the project the best
of luck. Slackware owes the XFree86 Project a debt of gratitude and will
always include the XFree86 acknowledgement, even if we are no longer
shipping XFree86.
it seems the reason is for compatibility since other distros are moving to X.org too, not because of the license change

for those who are unaware, the reference is to this.
anyone tested x.org 6.7.0 . i want to know if it supports proper 2D drivers for later radeons (9600 and later) out-of-box? i know xfree86 4.4.0 does.

didn't think of these things now did ya?
this is off-topic, but you could ask the neighbours kids, they usually will do it for a couple of quid.
not very popular over there but many people do that over here in n.america
even in the long-run would be cheaper than a robot solution (unless this is a personal interest i wouldn't go ahead with it)
haven't you heard the stonecutters song:
Who controls the british crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We dooo! We dooo!
get a meter-o-meter and inch-o-meter, drive across the US, divide the numbers, BAM there is your answer, ok, move on to next story :)

there is yahoopops for yahoo
and pop goes the gmail for gmail (which seems to have dead links on the site)
personally i use office 97, it has some nice features like envelope and label printing (did the old version have it?)
only thing about it is it is NOT fully compatible with files saved with office 2000, in my experience.
if you have a word 2000 doc with images all layed out, they will be, in most cases, positioned differently when opened in word 97.
note: you can also use the free word viewer. (there is also a powerpoint/excel viewer)

i don't understand why xen was unpopular! i sure liked it! no seriously. it was cool, the bouncing around and the healing thingy.
is the clock speed still relevant for RISC chips too? or should that be measured differently too?
i would think the clock speed has more meaning for RISC processors.

I am guessing he is now short a few friends
I'm pretty sure his friends had agreed to this, otherwise they'd be pretty fumed.
these calculators make mine look old-skool. seems kind of pricey for $350+, my TI-83+ was C$120.
i guess it may be useful for some people who need the extra features or want the fancy gui. but really, who needs stereo audio input/output?
uh, my mistake, primary selection is middle-click, secondary is ctrl-c/v
i think the problem is many toolkits/programs combine the primary/secondary 'clipboard' buffer.
IIRC, what should happen is the primary selection (ctrl-c/ctrl-v) should be seperate from secondary selection (select text, then middle click)
