My cases of crashing haven't been since 1.0, but 0.9.1.
I'm using Linux 2.6.x, and Firefox 0.9 ran perfectly, PERFECTLY, but as soon as 0.9.1 came out, it started going very very slow and crashing a LOT.
I just opened Firefox 1.0 now, typed "slashdot.org", and clicked "Read More" on this very topic and it crashed...
I think Firefox DOES have more crashes than before, because on my computer instead of crashing every 10 minutes, it's now crashing every 5.
If these crashes aren't fixed soon, I might give up on Firefox altogether. It is definitely a superior browser in thought, features, and security, however, if you can't run the thing that doesn't matter.
What if I forgot my password for the website?
Easy! Just type FORGOT to the service, and it will send you a link that you can use to log in again and reset your password! Try to remember your new password.:)
How do I get the service to bug me less often?
No problem. Just type BUG ME LESS to the service and it will send you a link that you can use to log in again and reset your password! Try to remember your new password.:)
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I don't think I've ever had an IM conversation where I found myself going back through the logs at some later point. To me, IM is like a face-to-face conversation. If I need to take away something important, I'll write it down (in OneNote:). If I don't, the conversation happens and then vanishes into the ether.
Yes I believe you are...
Most people use IM as a mix of face-to-face conversation and email, at least as far as I am aware. If someone sends you a URL to a site, telephone number, whatever, you can go through the logs and find it.
That doesn't mean I'm going to trust these people with that stuff either, though.
Well if you are using Linux, then you can just compress it into an ISO and mount the ISO using 'mount -t iso9660 -o loop isofile.iso mountdirectory'.
If you are stuck on Windows, you can try DAEMON Tools. I have actually used this program and it works quite well. I haven't tried it for what you are needing it for, but it's worth a shot anyway:)
Using BitTorrent downloading MPEG files (no, not movies MPAA), you can have groups of entire peices not finished and it will play just fine.
With about 2 or 3 peices at 32 kilobytes (64-96 kilobytes total), I barely noticed when the skip occurred when watching the file. It glitched, but not much. A small outline of the person talking in white for half of a second was about all it was.
Not if you limit all your connections via firewall not to just simple ports (such as port 80 for web), but to just certain computers as well. I use a very strict set of rules I made using iptables and in order to use the internet, I use a proxy.
you still bear some of the cost because it's coming in over your connection that you pay for every month and on your equipment that you bought for your purposes, not the spammers' convenience.
Well with snail mail, you bear some of the cost as well. Your body has to get up off it's ass and get to the mailbox to read it, unlike spam.
That's why junk mail is worse than spam, for spam all you have to do is click a couple of times and it's gone.
Well, we have a network drive we can save to that is split up by user (you can only write/see your own folder on the network drive), and there is a user based registry that is saved on the roaming profile as well, (we can also right click, just can't go to the "Properties" part of the desktop), so it works pretty well. We have space to save on the network for our files, and (even though they don't know it), we can install stuff too because of the userspace registry. So everything works out pretty nicely:).
What type of programmers do they have for these machines?
There have been numerous security flaws, tons of counting errors, and more for such a simple machine.
It should be as simple as "votes_for_kerry++;" and "votes_for_bush++;", or, if they want to make it even more "hi-tech", they could have it communicate to a server via socket programming (which is one of the easiest things in the world...), and then have the SERVER do "votes_for_kerry++;" and "votes_for_bush++;".
As for the touchpads, just buy them from a reputable company, rather than "Touchpads, Inc., part of the Claria Network".
I too hate looking at my future [not quite finished college] of not actually having colleagues just "contract buddies" or a work that I have worked long enough on to be proud of [and not just there for a short fraction of time]. However, that being the case you gotta adapt. Still smaller companies are a good place to go.
Well I don't know about that... I work for a small department for a large corporation, called CN...
Whoops, I almost violated the confidentiality clause of my contracting agreement. Sorry "contract buddy #2".
Slashdot Mirror
If that happens, we might have to teach our grandkids what it means to "lose" an object, and they'll just stare at us like we are crazy.
I guess I'm not as bookmark happy as you.
I don't like having 10k bookmarks to look through, I use bookmarks very rarely, and when I do, it's for sites I commonly go to.

Looks like someone got a little lazy.

Make it camouflaged so the players can't see it, as well.

If this is successful and is paid by the user by use and/or by channels used, I might be inclined to use this service.
Also given that it has a Linux client.
Oh wait...
You could burn it to a psuedo CD drive, then rip it off THAT, all without a waste of a CD-R/RW.
This world is messy enough as it is, with all the layers upon layers of packaging and trash that we don't need another wasted CD in the world.
No, it's because Halliburton can't afford to take the profit hit.

Just wanted to prove his point with an example
Oh... ...quietly puts away marker board and pointer...
Just because something is illegal doesn't make it impossible to do.

So AdBlock is a very useful tool for some people.
"George W. Bush" is the brain model, the body model is "Ahnold Da Govn'Ata".
Get back to me when someone is selling one of these that launches shuriken or sharpened AOL CDs.
Oooo! Unlimited ammo!
Or to be more precise, "unsolicited electronic mail".

Our school has almost that set up, and I haven't had much problems using it.
Except for the fact that it's Windows...
So are you saying they are trying to instill fear not only of terrorists, but of technology?
/. will be protested against for being a witch spawning ground.
Pretty soon

I think most Windows users (myself included) don't care what hardware they use, as long as it's fast+cheap and all their apps/games run on it.
Hardware is useless if the software can't handle it.
