the RIAA allows iTMS, but the EURIAA equivilent has not yet cut a deal. So go to ebay, buy american giftcerts, winning pepsi codes, or prepaid cards using paypal (so you don't need a US CC number) and have fun. eBay
I was under the impression the Walmart PCs were using the original Linux XP look alike www.lycoris.com At least they could come up with thier own name while ripping off the XP luna look.

Jets use silicone o-rings for fuel parts. Very few gaskets are involved at all in assembly of a jet like the F/A18.
I could probably put together this jet with my eyes closed if it's only disasembled for transportation. But you'd need about 8K in tools and at least an much in consumables (if you could find them on an open market). What the military pays for the same parts is anyone's guess.
Anyone watch that "The Apprentice" show. Two groups of 8 people, men on one side, women on the other. The first four tasks, the women stumbled around like lost puppies for 3 of them and yet won every time. The catch, they gave out thier phone number, while selling Lemonade for 10 bucks a cup. The guys couldn't sell jack.
It's not surprizing that having a woman demo Linux, people are interested in learning.
method for starting up a process automatically on insertion of a storage media into a host device
Before disk based home PCs, I was shoving my VHS tape in the VCP (player not recorder) and it started right up and played my movie. I didn't even have to press play.
But the OSX dock does not really work like a task bar, which was my original comparison. You can't just click an icon in the dock and have your intended window pop to the front, instead it brings at application and all of it's windows to the front in the order that they were already layered. I was speaking of tabbed browsing in OSX vs. Taskbar(with sorting and grouping) and multiple windows in XP. Also the default "ALT+TAB" in Windows and OSX is totally different. In OSX you almost need tabbed browsing, in Windows it's a bonus.
IE is standards complient, it renders W3C validated pages just fine. Are you disagreeing with that?
It's also able to render complete HTML TRASH is a fasion that most people accept as valid and viewable. It's the Websites the work fine on IE and not on anything else that isn't using the "standards of the W3C"
When Firefox (or mozilla) becomes the "IN" browser, what will all the geeks start evangelizing?
No one wants to support the "Standard" product. This is/. after all, we live on the fringe. We must be able complain that our choises are not the established norms. And when our favorite app/os gets mainstream we move to the next one.
I've been ignoring Mozilla since the Mozilla project started. IE for Windows was great for me, and I didn't like Navigator. Having moved to OSX last year and having Safari to use, I never even bothered with IE. Then the other day I responded to the/. story for Firefox, and gave it a shot.
I thought "Wow this is just like Safari without the metal." I mean, common it's a web browser. What I dont like is that the scroll bars are screwed up on Firefox if you load anything other than the default theme (Under OSX anyway). So with nothing to add over Safari, I probably won't be switching. But if I was using Windows at home, I'd love to have the tabbed browsing that IE doesn't provide. Then again, in windows I have a task bar...
(E.g., no, just because there are two columns in the table, it doesn't mean you can only store two attributes. There's a reason why those two columns are called "key" and "value". It's for storing as many key/value pairs as you need. No, seriously. You can stop asking "what if we later need more than two attributes?")
I Hate DBAs that lay tables out this way, It's completely shortsighted, LAZY, and horrible for pulling data back out.
Lazy being "just make a new key/value pair" when I really need 13 data fields, so I only have to pull one record back, not 13 pairs. It will save a lot of query time, god forbid you have to add a field later.
Unless of course it's just a two field lookup table;)
Technoclowns need nothing more than a "glorified appliance" and they should be able to treat them as such. My mother should never have a need to "recompile a kernal" or anything like that. All she needs to do is "Turn the picture thing on" and maybe click the email icon.
If there is email in her box it should be: 1)her email 2)the system should be smart (or dumb) enough not to provide her with something that is going to infect itself.
Expand these 2 rules to any other application that her appliance should do.
Example - Looking up movie times. Application should: 1)Show movie times 2)the system should be smart (or dumb) enough not to provide her with something that is going to infect itself.
The problem is forcing mega machines on people that only need an information appliance (or maybe allowing those people to buy them)
The cost savings for a single user just are not going to be there. VoIP might be cheap for large companies that do $10K in long distance a month. But for Joe user it's not cost effective and the sound quality can suffer. It's cheaper to get a Cell phone with free nights/weekends and a good min/month plan.
for a classic game, Tetris worlds for Xbox fits the bill. It's a Live! game and "girls" play tetris all the time. It's one of the few times I can get my wife to play games too. The the other is Monopoly, but it's not Live! enabled AFAIK.
HSN.com rolled out "my virtual model" over a year ago. You give it your dimensions and can even upload your face. then you can try on the clothes you see on TV.... Only for women though.
The troll translation would be: Open Source coders know thier code has no value, so they give it away and hope someone else can make it better. (that's probably going to hurt me)
I don't find myself to be abnormal, at least I don't think so. I generally refrain from any kind of survey, I thought everyone does. But I don't have a problem tossing out an email address to get into a "membership" type site. SO I clearly either find the joining of sites as normalized, or email is just disposable.
I vividly remember the StarWars TV Special, from when I was 7 years old. For years wondered if I had dreamed the whole thing. My parents claim no knowledge of it.
It's all about perception I guess. I thought it was "super cool", I was a kid, they had the right audience. I'm sure it sucked for adults, my parents did good to forget the whole thing.
Didn't they try a distro once called WINUX? Seems the site is gone, but it was a linux distro that ran on NTFS, you launched it with a windows shortcut. I remember installing it once. Anyone else remember it? You can find archived discussions about it on Google.

What does some city is GA have anything to do with comic books?
Frankly I see nothing new in the GUI that makes me think anything was updated. This looks like GIMP to me
I think the whole Area 6413 has been debunked many times. Point by point and Google can help too.
I knew my .sig would come in handy

Don't forget a set of tech pubs for torques.
Reading Word Docs on my cell phone. Combo devices... Meh

Sure!
"However, in a terrible privacy decision, the court said video monitoring of the computers and patrons was a-ok."
Just like every other business, Cyber Cafe's should be allowed to use video monitoring for safety. But it's short sighted to "require" it.
