Well, let's see how much that'd normally cost you...
(monthly)
Cable TV: $30? couldn't find an online quote
Cable Modem: $40
Phone line (1): $30 or so
Hmm...what I have above costs nearly as much, but it's nowhere near the quality of what is supposedly being offered. HDTV + Digital channels will outdo normal cable TV. A 10MB conenction is better than any cable modem I've ever seen, and 4 phone lines are better than 1.
Yes! Because reboots are no longer being made, and are very limited in quantity.:)
For the person who didn't get it, "sponge worthy" was (at least, it may have other sources as well) a term used in a Seinfeld episode. In brief, the sponge is a birth control product used be a female (and therefore her partner doesn't need to use a condom), and after it is taken off the market, Elaine judges whether or not a man is "sponge worthy" - because there are few sponges left (she has a case), the guy has to be worth it for her to use one, rather than his using a condom.
As I understood it, the Euro has been fluctuating in relation to international currency, but the price of the Euro in Lire or Deutschmark was initiall set and unable to change.
inside the euro zone the euro was more stable than the deutschmark in their best times.
Hmm...you think that has something to do with the fact that the prices for the Euro in the currencies of participating countries were set three years ago? It's easy for a currency to be stable if it's not allowed to fluctuate.
I love economics! I have it first thing in the morning every school day, and I just laugh myself awake. Kudos to you for describing my views of economics so exactly in your first sentence. But, it would help to throw in that the end result is absolutely useless as well (in both economics and this formula).:)
If they're really worried about that, there are open-source related certifications available. RHCE comes to mind, but I know I've heard of a few others.
As far as I know, it's only included in XP Professional, and I doubt it's installed by default. It's basically a PCAnywhere/VNC type program that can be used for IT professionals in corporations to remotely administer desktops, or for traveling employees to get access to their machine from a remote location.
Well, yes. It's so that the covers fit and are not able to actually go down the hole. This seems like it would work for any regular polygon as well, so I can't think off the top of my head why it's mainly circles. Maybe they're just easier, and don't have pointy edges to impale people with. You can only use them as a bludgeoning tool.
It's not out of the question at all. The devices have a small processor inside to allow them to work without drivers, and to appear as a hard drive. It would probably be completely trivial to make it show up as a CD-ROM drive instead, and stick an autoplay.inf on the thing. Most of the computers these days come configured to run the autoplay executable without question or notice, so you could run a small executable by just plugging the thing in.
Install RedHat 7.2. Start it up, fire up Mozilla or Konqueror. Notice something? The fonts look a *ton* better. The font issue is a real netscape problem that I'd never been able to get around or deal with. Now that there are good alternatives, I haven't used NS in months.
I recently went from StarOffice 5.2 to the 6.0 beta, and I'm really impressed by some of the new fonts. They look genuinely good onscreen, and print out pretty well too. Fonts were neglected for some time, but they're becoming important, and there's no reason to keep having netscape-like font issues.
Although this is a bit offtopic, what you did was a bit unnecessary. Since you're running RH 6.2, you need to grab the packages that are built for 6.2, wu-ftpd-2.6.1-0.6x.21.i386. If you grab all 6.2 packages, then it will work fine. As far as upgrading your "RPM" rpms, that generally *always* involves a RedHat version upgrade, especially to a new major number.
As another poster mentioned, you can easily use up2date in 7.2 to keep your machines updated - it works a lot like Windows Update or apt-get, automatically grabbing the necessary/desired RPMs and installing them for you.
For the installing flash example, how was he running mozilla already to get flash if you had to start X for him? I completely understand what you're saying about the problem, but that just seemed a little weird to me.
I think that you'll find hardware gets adopted by Linux distros pretty well. Every successive release of RedHat that I've installed on machines has gone a better and better job recognizing and installing hardware without me having to go in and recompile or anything. If you have a computer that's a year or two old, you should probably be able to install something like RH 7.2, or the latest unstable Debian and have nearly all of the hardware supported without manufacturers' or third-party drivers.
Higher quality MP3s could have initially come at the expense of neato user-friendly features. By now though, that's probably not a time issue or anything, and there's no good reason not to offer a better solution as an option.
*Anything* which firmly establishes the state of the cat will collapse the wave function. If you burn the box in a crematorium, the cat is definitely dead -- no uncertainty. If you "see" into the box using a method other than opening it, then you know the result. There are many ways to collapse the metaphorical wave function, observing it is just the most direct way, and also relates most directly to the position of an electron, which can best be determined by observation, though not with the naked eye.
You could always just smash the box with a sledgehammer, and leave it there. Then you'd never have to worry whether the cat is alive or not, and could worry about more important things:)

Well, there is the whole polygamy thing in hitting on the cashiers. Maybe he's an outcast in Salt Lake City or something, and he really means Mormons.
Uhh...that's already #5

The *girls* would get twenty years in jail? Not the girls, the other guys in line maybe...
what's the one thing star wars has always been good at? better than any other theatrical conveyance?
MERCHANDISING!!
One movie has done better, if only within the the movie itself...
Spaceballs! Yogurt knows everything about moichendising. Comeon, when was the last time you saw a StarWars themed flame thrower?
If it stays up is probably a fake
:) I'm getting a 403 Forbidden right now on that link . . . or maybe it's just the slashdotting.
Hmmm, might be real then

Which of course doesn't work too well in this case, especially since there's a space in the link.

Woohoo! Gotta finish tonight to postmark tomorrow :) Who needs TV? I have essays to write!
Actually, at the moment, I have just one application left, and it needs a couple new essays, but after that I get to go out and do...something, maybe.
Have you considered a career as an economist?

The poster to whom you replied was implying that the correct PIN would be '1234', not that there are only 1234 possible combinations.

So uh...does that mean I won or lost?
Yes! Then we truly can have _professional_ karma whores.

Well, you shoudl take the network card too, so you don't need to call up and reactivate your automobile.
