I webmaster the site for our state's math club chapter, which uses ASP/Access for online registration (not my choice - this is an inherited site, and our host is on NT). All I've got is FTP. I can function as well as I need. Exactly what do you need even non-root shell access for? All you should need to do is edit files and change stuff on the database...and the database should let you use a local client.
What exactly is a "full-scale webmaster" other than a system administrator also?
Supposing they're not, is there any interest in the community to possibly fork Slashcode and start a new Slash-based website with the same intent but better editors?
You can only control acceleration left, right, and up, with thrusters = 1/5 cell / (time^2). Gravity is -1/10 cell/(time^2). If you could move in any direction and control velocity, shortest-path would work. You've got to work with thrusters, though.
Of course at least one person uses play-by-email. The question is if it remains popular, and if the myriad services that offer that still have a significant number of customers. That's the idiomatic meaning of "Does anyone still...."
I have embarked recently on a mission to eradicate that expression. Replace "stupidity" with "self-interest", then you'd be more correct.
Self-interest is itself in most cases malice, through greed and egotism*. In other words, you disagree with that statement; why?
(*Egotism/egoism as Ayn Rand uses it - something like self-assuredness - is probably acceptable. Egotism as fits in this context and as California lawyers are allegedly displaying - almost a disparaging misanthropy - is quite unacceptable.)
Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be ascribed to stupidity...or in this case, rabid excitement about newfangled technology, which amounts to the same thing.
Sure, they can use odometers, or at worst GPS markers at the state lines. But why do that when you can set up a really cool uplink on the GPS?
I'm not sure what that sentence meant...but I'll clarify anyway, and say that yes, I was making a pun on "the IP [address]" as used by hacker-attackers and "the IP [property]" as used by lawyer-attackers.
i'll admit im an aim junkie but everywhere you go?
I've used SMS-to-AIM logon and a builtin AIM client on two different cell-phone service providers for one reason: if I need to contact someone, the IM service includes presence, so I can see the easiest way to talk to them. I don't lose an entire minute of calltime just talking to an answering machine. Besides, AIM is cheaper on my plan than calling (prepaid, 4 SMSs = 1 minute airtime, calling rounds up to the whole minute), and there's no degrading of sound quality.
Of course, I don't leave it logged in (which is my problem with their IM Forwarding service). I logon when I need to find someone, which is rare but often enough that this is useful, and I leave an away message "IM the cell: +18885551212" sometimes.
How do people have the time to beat Halo 2 - on legendary - in less than one week - and pay attention to the credits - and corroborate the information with countless others who have done the same!?
This is an invasion of our privacy! Next thing you know, they're appointing Ashcroft to head Nielsen! And then they'll start a PATRIOT Channel where they'll broadcast all the names of on the do-not-fly list! They'll use PVRs to record everything you watch! He's TIMESHIFTING OUR RIGHTS!!!!:-)
"Okay, you're approaching the building where the records are kept. When you get there, bank sharply, because the FBI ordered airlines to turn, over passenger data."
You assume that people who didn't vote don't support the president. Somehow, I would think that if you're truly opposed to Bush, you wouldn't not vote, and that those who support the incumbent are less likely to vote. Either way, you can't say that "only 30% support Bush" - at least some of the nonvoters support him.
Completely off-topic but vaguely related: Wednesday I returned from a math club work meeting at about 4:30. I left for church choir practice at around 6:00.
I'm both fiscally and socially conservative. Since it seems easier to go fiscally conservative than socially liberal, I wouldn't mind a Libertarian in office.
I'm truly sorry I'm glad Bush won. I made a fundamental error in my thinking. I mean, we should vote for the only good candidate, since his enemy is purely evil. That's the foundation of democracy, isn't it? Knowing that this candidate is the only one worth voting for, and not allowing people to disagree with you?
Oh, wait...
(I have my right to support Bush, and you have your right to support Kerry. If that is infringed upon, our country is in far more danger than either Bush or Kerry could inflict if they wanted to.)

It's entirely possible to function without root.

Shh! Post it as billg [at] microsoft [dot] com! You don't want him getting spammed by posting it in cleartext, do you?

No, it's online! 'Cause it's about starting/stopping the mileage count as they cross the state line....
the state will start sending me checks?
In Soviet California?

In Soviet Russia, the government opens intelligent sinkholes under YOU!
That they'll post the IP for?
Sorry, SCO doesn't like you publicizing any IP for Linux 2.2.

Or splitting it differently:
"Okay, you're approaching the building where the records are kept. When you get there, bank sharply, because the FBI ordered airlines to turn, over passenger data."
But that doesn't make MS's anticompetitive behavior any less illegal: "Well, I murdered him, but he had terminal cancer, so it's not as bad."

A vote for Bush is a vote for all of the above. Please leave my country.
Well, given that the majority of the US apparently supports Bush, which "your country" am I in?
And if you ask people of differing opinions to leave your country, it's no more the USA as we know it. You've destroyed political freedom.

First you ignore the quote. Then you laugh at the quote. Then you fight the quote...Then the quote wins.
