For me, I think (if I ever actually start doing it), I think it would be a good place to have my bookmarks. I don't care about the sharing, I just use a lot of computers and would like to be able to remember all those sites that I forget on a daily basis.
the only hard disk player I've ever heard of skipping is the Dell - because it has next to no buffer.
Well considering they were talking about hard disk players in GENERAL, I would assume they were mildly correct then. Not once in the article is the word "iPod" used.

After 3 years, I finally find it!
You want to know the sad news about that? It is (was) real. Someone took that from somebody and adapted it to look that way. 2-3 years ago, I read that exact article, except all the titles, names, etc, were RIGHT (Linus Torvalds, Linux (not Lunix), everything). This was on some parenting site. I don't know, maybe someone adapted that "real" from the fake, but it was classic when I read it then, too.
if you absolutely HAVE to get up - the most reliable
alarm clock is a glass of water before bed.
I can have five glasses of water before bed, wake up, and not notice I have to piss until 3 PM the next day (assuming I wake up early, about 11 AM). Even then I'll wait until 4 PM or 5 PM until I do something about it, even though the bathroom is one door down the hall on the right.
...do most of the process without taking your hand off the mouse. It isn't necessarily efficient, but it can be done.
You can also use a text editor with only a mouse, using a GUI keyboard or copy/pasting characters from something into the text editor.
Just because something CAN be done, doesn't mean anyone has the patience or stupidity to do it. (not necessarily saying visual programming is stupid, just showing an extreme:))
This system reminded me of designing digital logic circuits graphically. It's hard to explain, but it was actually more powerful than my description. There are also systems to generate code from UML.
For logic circuits it makes sense, each connection is a wire that connects to other gates on a chip, and the visual way of representing that works by organizing your thoughts before you build the thing.
For programming, however, there is no reason to have it like this. What is the point? You have to reach for your mouse every 5 seconds, how is that going to make my programming more efficient?
Whoa, I never thought of doing something like that...
If only I had, that would be the perfect system. However my collection is already pushing 350+ disks, so I'm not about to go out and re-organize everything...
Keeping CDs in the spools has worked perfectly for me so far, but not so well for my brother. Long story short, don't get a peice of cheese welded to a CD spool, and leave it there for 2+ years.
If VBScript only works for IE, then what is the point of checking if the browser is Firefox? The browser is always going to show up as IE using that method, as every other browser will ignore it.
Second, there are other browsers out there besides IE and Firefox, and those people won't notice a thing, therefore still using their own browsers.
He should have used a server-side script to check the user agent, since you can't rely on clients to support your method. If you use Javascript, then Lynx and Dillo won't see it, so that would be pointless as well. Using a server-side script will only allow Firefox users and people who forge their user agent strings to get in.
If that was indeed something like ASP (not 100% sure what ASP looks like, to be honest), then only people using Firefox, people who forge their user agent strings, and people who download a simple exploit script to gain root access to the Windows box will be able to view the website.
Or is the "Online Poker" page redirecting to a picture of a guy trying to suck his own penis? I'm not being a troll, trying to be funny, nothing, I'm being serious...
Did someone rig the page to redirect to that or something? Because I was expecting text, not... disturbing... pictures.
Really, would it be so much trouble to just release it on Windows Update and let the government download from there? I've never seen Microsoft's site go down, but if it really is that big of a bandwidth problem, they could just create a new page with a server dedicated to serving the government patches...
I had never heard of myNetWatchman before, but I knew about DShield. I recently had a box compromised (Linux, believe it or not!), and it shows up with attacks on DShield, but not myNetWatchman (still remember the IP).
I thought everyone knew about it, it's mentioned in the comments almost every day (at least in every TV or Bittorrent related discussion)...
Using something like Azureus' RSSplugins, you can set it up to read certain trackers that have almost every show. I'm not going to link you to the trackers, as I don't want to contribute to some TV executive taking them down, but a simple Google search would come up with it as well.

Or is delirious just copying delicious?
No, they just happened to come up with the same idea for the same site, with very similar names.
For me, I think (if I ever actually start doing it), I think it would be a good place to have my bookmarks. I don't care about the sharing, I just use a lot of computers and would like to be able to remember all those sites that I forget on a daily basis.
most likely they'll be used by the younger graphic artists in order to obtain [(fp!)at the speed of l16][t, beeoztches].
What, do you think it takes over 7 GHz to load a page on a website? The only restraint is BANDWIDTH, which with fiber optics already use light.

Now that I read that new one, some of that is obviously butchered (or the "real" was butchered to get rid of it, still not sure which). I.E.:
Popular hacker software includes "Comet Cursor", "Bonzi Buddy" and "Flash".

Alright... I'll explain.

Ouch. Are you jocking, or you didn't get his joke?
I am confused.
Neither, you didn't get HIS post.
What the guy posted was VBScript, only available on Internet Explorer.
Even if you did (I use probably 50/50 QT/GTK stuff), you could use the GTK-QT Theme Engine to make it look ALL the same.

So I should be punnished more for stealing a Farrari than a handa? Or how about killing a homeless guy compared to a rich guy?
Are you stupid?
Obviously you should be punished more, hell, stealing a Honda would probably not even be a felony.
Think of them more like IPs, you can have 127.0.0.1. Between 2.8 and 2.9 can come 2.8.1, 2.8.2, 2.8.2.1, and so on.
..., 4.2.2.9, 4.2.2.10, 4.2.2.11, etc. (those just happen to be Verizon's DNS IPs :))
Good analogy, but you kind of botched up the last bit...
Should be, there is 4.2.2.4, 4.2.2.5,
I would personally recommend myNetWatchman.
Hmm, I don't know...
I had never heard of myNetWatchman before, but I knew about DShield. I recently had a box compromised (Linux, believe it or not!), and it shows up with attacks on DShield, but not myNetWatchman (still remember the IP).
If that's so, I don't even think they need to announce its existence, it will be compromised easily.
That's because you're not an astronomy professor. Radio waves are light, and no one should give me a funny look about it, especially during lecture.
People give me funny looks when I tell them the Earth is round. Don't be naive, of course you should get funny looks.
I think that if matter is moving toward the "big bang", then dark, or anti, matter would be moving away from the "big bang".

Well, they had a fuel leak, right?
Just shove it through there.
That was probably caused when he crapped himself upon realising most of the fuel was missing.
Which also decreased the overall weight.
