I stopped in Boise once - was driving through to the Grand Canyon... You'd be hard pressed to find any rowdy people in that town... We stopped in on Sunday. Must be a church thing or something, but it was like a ghost town. We were so very bored...
In Vancouver, BC... Someone got stabbed by some punks for asking them to be quiet. This is the society we're faced with. Very very sad.
So sell it on ebay with a stick of EDO RAM or some other crappy computer part you don't need. There's plenty of ppl willing to pay decent money for XP licenses.
Heck, I've sold windows 98 licenses on ebay for $90 or so a while back. Company I worked for no longer used 98, and the IT ppl just handed them out lol. Dumbasses.
I just wish that FF would let us going document.element instead of force us to write document.getElementById("element") in order to reference DOM objects. the former is less typing than the latter...
It has one thing I use on a daily basis: RDP. vnc sucks donkey balls. I RDP from work to hope; it's something sysadmins have a hard time blocking because they RDP out to our colo and stuff. I mean, they can use whitelists to block me i suppose, but they can't just block the protocol...
RDP to my home PC gets me away from their proxy server when I want to check my yahoo mail account or whatever. None of their business what I do on my lunch break.
Plus, if I were a sysadmin, RDP on the desktops in my network would be invaluable.
I see nothing wrong with porn anyway. Kids are curious. It's natural. Better that than rotten.com lol.
Truth is there are ways to force them to use what you tell them to... Whitelists for example are perfect. You want me to add a site? Sure, let me see it first. It's fair and reasonable. I don't think any kid should see rotten.com
At 16, my kids welcome to as much porn as he or she likes. It's natural... Nothing I can do to stop them at that point anyway... All I can do is tell them how to protect themselves and hope for the best.
You can't protect them forever, even though you'd like to.
Gotta teach them morals early on, and hope they hold onto them when they are in those years. If not, you've already failed.
So they see a list of sites they can't get to because they aren't white listed.
As far as the reference to Marquis de Sade, I don't see anything so bad that a kid shouldn't see it. It's history - reality... Nothing so terrible there.
Honestly, I'm more concerned about my kid watching violence than porn anyway.
How're parents supposed to watch over their child if they're denied the tools needed for it?
Here's an idea: use the computer together??? What a revelation!
Alas, it's lazy-assed parents who lack the time to spend with their kids who are the problem... The Internet isn't there as an entertainer.
IMO, I'm going to whitelist shit my kid needs to do his/her homework: Wikipedia, Dictionary, Google maps, etc... Perhaps some kids game sites. If they need more for a project, I sit down to help them. They need the independance, but they can't be unleased online without supervision.
Truth is, kids will find porn anyway - they'll have a friend with lazy, irresponsible parents.
I suppose it depends on if you're a home user or a corporate user.
If I were an IT admin (I'm not - I'm a developer), I'd want to not allow users to install software for that very reason. They install crap like real player or yahoo toolbar or whatever that bog down their machines, then the whine when their machines bog down.
But for home users it's imperitive that they be able to install software and IMO they should not have to be root to do so.
All depends on what your audience is. And that's one of the problems.
Generally I'd agree with you, however ever tried getting a Realtek wireless card to work under FC? What a PITA! Had 2 use ndiswrapper, and every time there's a kernel update I have to hope ndiswrapper will still work... A few times there's been a kernel update and ndiswrapper failed me afterwards.
Granted it probably isn't any better than any other distro, but they made that nice notification area app that you can switch wireless networks nice and easily.
Just to point out they're on Java 5 now. You're 3.5 major revisions behind;)
(In case u didn't catch the joke, they kinda skipped a few #'s lol)
On my P4 1.6 Laptop running FC3 all Java apps load very well. Zend PHP Studio and Netbeans load great.
On my Athlon 1700+ all apps load great too.
My desktop btw is three years old and is an Athlon XP 1800. Your P3 800 is a bit dated IMO. Time to upgrade instead of expecting everything to continue to support your desktop.
Don't most mp3 players work with Linux? I mean, it's just a flash drive... It should show up (at least in FC) under/media/whatever
I mean, I use a pcmcia adaptor for my cf cards. When I plug in my camera into the usb port it shows up the same as it does if I use the pcmcia adaptor...
Or are you looking for software that'll downsample an mp3 when you move it to your device?
Mysteriously FC3's ability to recognize CF cards seems to wane over time.
Anyone know why Apple made the ipod without a replaceable battery? I mean it seams like an obvious ploy to sell more iPods to me.
Imagine if Dell made it impossible to replace dead ram... Truth it usually takes RAM longer than a year to die. You guys would be screaming bloddy murder if Dell did that.
But this is/. and Apple is the company that can do no wrong around here.
This is bad business practice. Making the iPod a disposable commodity at a not-so-disposable price.
IMO there's a lot of good mp3 players out there that DO offer replaceable batteries, or even just the use of standard batteries. Honestly I think the iPod's a lot of hype and little extra over lower priced competitors.
Java uses a virtual machine that runs at the speed of my old Pentium 2.
Blah blah that's grown very tiresome. Newer AWT and Swing applications run quite nicely thinks. I use Zend PHP studio and it feels as good as a good as any win32 or gtk app. The theme engine might not translate over from Gnome to Java, but that's not the end of the world.
Another thing, Java and Flash are interpreted languages
AFAIK you've been able to compile Java for a long time now IIRC. Isn't that what gcc-java is for?
You had me until that point. Comparing Java to Flash is like comparing c to animated gif. Different tools for different problems.
Greek for the Bible is impossible for anyone who speaks modern Greek to understand. The only similarity are the letters. Even the accents were much more complicated in Ancient Greek.
When I go to my parents church which is Greek Orthodox (not that I've been there in the last 10 years though), i can't understand a word they say, even though I'm fluent in Greek, albeit my spoken is much better than my written.
Uhm no. Big difference..htaccess is handled by the web server. Web.config is not parsed by IIS. It is handled by the dll that handles aspx (et all) pages. Big difference. Different layer all together.
Web.config would be closer to something like php.ini, although that's not even correct. I recon the closest would be something like a Smarty config file or something under php.

C'mon dude, in BC, the most expensive is Cinemark now on a Saturday night at $11.50.
Silver city dropped their prices to $10.50. IIRC the new Ciniplex in Pitt Meadows is $9.50.
I've not seen a $16 movie here in Vancouver except for Imax.

No kidding... Thanks for the info... Didn't realize that...
Why not just first shred a file and then delete it? Seems like a lot less trouble IMO... And more secure than just a single write...

FWIW though, some (many? - didn't count) of those elements that FF identifies in the document element really apply to any dom element.
Well my FC3 box is rendered unusable after keeping a vnc session open long. IMO RDP is the cat's ass.

things generally work out of the box

Granted it probably isn't any better than any other distro, but they made that nice notification area app that you can switch wireless networks nice and easily.
I'd use something like Whitebox Linux - it's a lot closer to RHEL than FC is nowadays IMO...
even 1.5, it's still too slow.

No investor in their right mind would touch this company.
If I was cleared to short sell stock, I would short sell tonnes of it. Does that put me out of my mind?
Not all investors play the upswings you know.
