You can actually select what number to display on CallerID. I've got it set to display the caller's number.
You can change this in the CallerID section in the Settings tab. Displaying the caller's number is the default.
I've been using Boxee for a few months and as far as I can tell, registering with site allows you to add friends and rss audio and video feeds that are then populated in the boxee menu. The forums don't require an account unless you want to post.
I don't really utilize the social aspect of it, but it's nice to manage my feeds in one location rather than on each box in the house.
You don't need to register to add the repositories or download binaries (you can find links to them on the internets) and I haven't received any email from boxee, so I think the registration is purely for managing rss feeds and friends.
This is a beautiful illustration if the Liberal mindset. Rather than trying to raise the poor by eliminating mosquitoes he's trying to equalize everyone by lowering the wealthy.
Liberal mindset? How was he 'lowering the wealthy' by reminding them that when it comes to mosquito-borne illness, they are just as susceptible as the poor? When it comes to malaria, everyone is equal - mosquitoes couldn't care less about your politics or taxable income. As long as you've got blood in your veins, you're susceptible. Bill was just reminding them of that fact.
I uninstalled FF2 and then installed FF3 and all of my cookies, passwords, etc. were still intact. Most of my extensions and themes were updated to work with FF3.
If you're paranoid and using Windows, you could also back up your profile with MozBackup.
You can update to the current Hardy Heron beta by typing 'update-manager -d' in your console. I upgraded from Gutsy just fine, but be warned - it is still in beta. YMMV
Not to nitpick or anything, but the record companies are actually the ones laughing all the way to the bank (and are ultimately convinced that people will buy DRM-encumbered media). Apple doesn't make any money from ITunes, rather they use it to sell IPods.
It is all about quantity. People seem to think that the more of something you get in a product, the better. This marketing rationale is used for other kinds of products. Just look at fastfood ('Gorge yourself on our 10lb. McGutBomb Burger!'), automobile ('Scale Mt Everest in your new 3000 horsepower Chevy Truck!') or computer ('You'll need a 3.4Ghz machine to run Word and send email!') advertising. We've become a society of 'More is always better'. I don't think efficiency and quality are not important to the general public anymore.
R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. It is a GNU project which is similar to the S language and environment which was developed at Bell Laboratories (formerly AT&T, now Lucent Technologies) by John Chambers and colleagues. R can be considered as a different implementation of S. There are some important differences, but much code written for S runs unaltered under R.
These are all questions that a development firm's previous clients would have answers to. Most company sites I see usually have some sort of portfolio listing previous and current clients. If you like the firm's work, start contacting their previous clients and ask them your questions.
As far as what technology they use, I'd say that as long as it fits your needs (each tech has it's own strengths and weaknesses) and is quality work, it doesn't really matter unless you've got something in mind.
Instead of setting up both servers in a 'basic configuration', how about locking them down as much as possible? Why not apply all available patches, install the latest version of the software and then run the security tests? I imagine their results might be different if they chose this method instead.
As an aside, the title of this article could be improved: "Study finds Windows more secure than Redhat Linux". They are not testing linux as a whole- Just Red Hat's distro. Again, the result might be different if they tested against [insert random distro here].
Recycling is great if the machine is COMPLETELY unusable but if the machine/part is still in good working order, donate it to a local school instead. Schools (where I live anyways) are usually hurting for technology funding, so every little bit helps- even if it is a cd drive here and a sound card there. It makes more sense to reuse parts that still work.
In some cases, you might even be able to use it as a tax write-off.
Unfortunately, I don't think it is really possible to legislate a social change. The lack of foresight on the part of the RIAA/MPAA is what created this mess in the first place. Instead of thinking ahead, they waited for companies like Apple to provide a product that consumers desired years before hand.
If they had developed their business model to include the 'MP3 revolution' when it first began I don't think that p2p would be as engrained in our society as it is and thus we probably wouldn't be having this discussion. Now, the RIAA and MPAA want government help because they didn't develop their business model. Maybe the government should help all business that couldn't plan their way out of a wet paper bag.
If the applications people want are available on Windows, they will tend to stick with Windows...
That conclusion is exactly the opposite of my experience. Before I tried OpenOffice, I hadn't thought about making the switch to Linux. After my baptism by OO, I soon had a great variety of OSS apps that I can use at work (MS shop) but take home to work on (slackware) during the weekend.
I think it is more about freedom to work with the same data across more than one platform. What would have happened if only IE was capable of rendering HTML? Would the internet be where it is today if everyone decided to use their own format instead of a standard? I doubt it.
If you're paranoid (like me), just get Mozbackup. It will make a backup file of your Thunderbird/Firefox/Mozilla profiles (and mail). I've had no problem with it.
My version (0.9/Win) has a spell checker... The dang thing nags me on every message I send. Check in Tools->Options->Composition.
From the Thunderbird site: There's no need for third party spell checking software. Mozilla Thunderbird comes with an integrated spell checker developed by the Spellchecker Mozdev Project.
My father-in-law for one... He loves how everything he needs is in one app and is fast (/.'s opinions aside, this is what he thinks- and that is what is important). After cleaning up his windows box a year ago, I suggested Mozilla. He hasn't looked back since.
Why anyone would pay for Winamp is beyond me. The free version does the job... like a bunch of programs out there. Of course, brand recognition, nostalgy and all...
On the same note, why pay for or donate to [insert favorite linux distro or F/OSS project]? The 'free' version does the job just as well... Paying for or donating to a project supports the developers and (hopefully) ensures that the project will continue to be developed. If we all shared the opinion that the free version works just as well, how many of our favorite projects would be gone now?
I've got Professional Apache Tomcat from Wrox and it has helped me out a lot. Like you, I have no desire to develop on Tomcat, but I need to be able to administer it. Among the topics covered are logging, jdbc connections, ajp, security realms, application deployment and ssl.
I believe this book (which covers 4.x - there is also a book covering 5.x) is still available on Amazon.
If you're open to buying a used machine, take a look at Retrobox. Sure, they aren't going to be top-of-the-line, but my PIII running Slack 10 does everything I need.
I'm not sure your vote is any less important than mine (or any other left-leaning Montana). I do feel your pain though- GWB and Kerry won't be visiting Montana this year simply because:
Montana does not receive a critical # of electoral votes and
GWB is considered a shoe-in in MT
As it stands, Montana is a solid conservative state... Not that it matters much- we only have 3 electoral votes (I believe New Jersey actually has 15- 5x that of MT).
My grandmother is a proud conservative. She is a member of the NRA (she carries a snub-nose.38), listens to conservative talk radio, and hasn't voted for a liberal in more than 20 years.
Of course, she is also deathly afraid to fly because she knows that the "rag heads" will shoot down the plane.
Though your generalization was limited to only the liberals you know, I think it is a bit more difficult to pigeon hole someone based upon their political beliefs. Granted, if you listen to the messages of either side of the political spectrum, your thoughts and fears could definitely be influenced - regardless if the message is about social security or terrorist threat.
From what I've heard of it, listening to conservative talk radio may be why my grandmother is afraid to fly.

Yes, there is a Windows version - I use it on a daily basis. It is currently in private alpha, with a public beta release coming (possibly) in June.

I've had some trouble with this method in the past and I haven't used it since so YMMV. Good luck.

I seem to remember a few packages that have make uninstall option that will remove everything for you. I think Gaim and PHP each have this option.
Check out the documentation for the package.
