Sounds to me like quite a few people need to create some word documents of the exact same size as the files searched for, name them accordingly, then orchestrate a file sharing orgy amongst themselves to create a rather large target for this fool proof system. Flood'em with bullshit, then see how credible they are...
Yes,{BL}Ticklemonster in the scale. Thanks for the words! (now I have to wonder... this being an A 1 thread and all...)
Ubuntu totally kicks for me. Only two things keeping me in XP, uscripting (which can be done in linux, and I have it all sorted out, I'm just too lazy to take that dive), and archiving DVDs is too touch and go in linux for me.
For just once, I'd like to see the higher brain function kick in and see people run with a gag. Surely there's enough people here at/. that can come up with enough technobabble to really play along with even the most obvious prank and run with it. What a great brain workout it would be to try to come up with enough total hogwash to support some of the gags people come up with on A1.
It takes one brain cell to post that it's a prank, but it takes a host to try and perpetuate the bullshit. And in the spirit of A1, would that not be more fun anyway?
So um yeah, I wonder how they deal with harmonics on long runs of pipe, eh?
Static image adds are okay if they stay ON THE PAGE and don't float around in front of the page, or have video, I agree with you on that!
It's the pop ups that I would like to see totally done away with on the internet without having to use special software to defeat them. DO NOT take over my machine and make it do things I don't specifically say it should do!!!
I was disappointed that adblock and no script weren't mentioned, neither was forecastfox! The three I use the most.
Sounds like the same problem we've had with IT heads recently. All Microsoft trained professionals who sat around drinking the cool aid, now we have the messed up-est network ever. Oh yeah, it works exactly as prescribed, whatever that means, but it's as useless as tits on Ru Paul.
Why is it that the further south you go into South America, the older the civilizations appear to be? Seems like they keep finding all kinds of ancient ruins there. Now what is the likelihood that people would wander from the north all the way down there before creating the civilizations they created? Could the Americas have been populated from Antarctica instead, before the polar shift? Prolly not, I guess there were no humans back then, but still...
lol sorry my sig got anyone upset. I put it up only after seeing someone who had one that said basically "be a patriot, shoot a republican". Want me to remove it?
LOL gotta love it. Keep the heat on, I love it when someone comes in and dogs the liberaliti here, but try to log in with a name next time. I'd like to see who the sentient beings are around here, and know them by name...
I don't get the whining about gimp. To me, it looks like someone took the parts of photoshop that don't get "windowed" and "de-windowed" them. I mean what is the difference in gimp's and photoshop's gui? The wrapper/window.
Guess what? Slide that background in photoshop off the the side, and gee, you don't have access to file, edit, etc. but it looks like gimp.
BUT, in gimp, you have file, edit, etc. in two different places at all times. What is the fascination with that freaking backdrop in photoshop? Gimpshop is a poor excuse for trying to appease these crybabies who want that security blanket, but I find it a total waste. Yes, I love photoshop, but I also think gimp kicks ass. I wish gimp had more stuff like photoshop, but I do not miss the wrapper/window/security blanket/whatever you want to call it at all, and I don't see why people stay so hung up on it.
I know Boston over reacted, but the given the state of affairs (suicide bombers since before 911, Islamic fundamentalists declaring war on America since before 911, etc) I figure the whole CN stunt was on par with yelling fire in a movie theater. You would think people would at least look to see which way the fire was and figure out there's not one, right? No; they stampede.
And I see you took the food I left out. No need to thank me.
"almost every great evil in history has been done under the guise of doing good". So I suppose the left really thinks that it is doing good? The great evil will be when it allows America to fall with no more than a whimper. Do not confuse the issue. We all know what supposed liberties we give up in order to keep our nation safe. I still have the basic liberties I always had AS LONG AS I ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITIES THAT COME WITH THESE LIBERTIES. I have the freedom to speak my mind, but I know better than to think this means I ought to exercise it for no reason other than to hear the noise I make. God you people here are amazing... the slash dotting of America!
Terrorized and diligent are two different things. I get tired of the extreme left wing liberal bent of this site. I almost didn't click to see the "utopian" blather here, but figured I'd see how the mod points posts are going. I'm not surprised in the least. You people are disgusting here. All posts that are typical of the left wing get high points every time. It's like you all are having an orgy of "see who can post the most insane stuff and pat each other on the back with mod points". "Free an open society at all costs!!!" "vive le open borders!!!"
Any post that is anti-diligence or anti-keep America safe gets high points. It makes me sick to think that there are people like you out there who would gladly see America cave in and pretend there's nothing out there going bump in the night. I would bet that if you could get a grasp of the mindset in each collapsed civilization, you would find your mindset at the front each time, and the civilizations crumbling beneath the weak spine you propagate. It's the Frenchification of America, and it's happening on our watch. Yay. I hope your grand-daughters like wearing full body bags and staying home with no chance of and education.
Hardly surprising. The oceans have been rising for a few thousand years. Look at all the stuff off the coast of Egypt. That's all been under water since before the industrial revolution. Global warming is a cyclical thing that we can't stop. Better to spend your time figuring out how to adjust to it than how to stop it.
I wonder why they don't do something useful with those telescopes and just once and for all point them towards the moon, and show us what is at Tranquility Base.
It's the New and Improved TURBO Internet Freedom Disk with Nano Tube Techonlogy!
Key kids, browse all the grown up sites!!! Hey Grown ups, browse all the kiddie sites!!!!
yeah. Great. Nothing like a little American style Freedom to assault safety as usual.
I think there out to be a commercial with those two yammering on and on about which one costs least, then slowly people start walking by in more and more numbers, all wearing ubuntu hats and tshirts... then the camera pans over to a penguin handing out free disks, giggling to itself.

Shoot, they been doing that up in Arkansas for years.

Why can't people just use the internet time update thingy and be done with it?

Bingo! See? That's what I'm talking about! The further NORTH you go, the less advanced things become. That's backwards from what you would expect.

I recognize the typewriting, that's our IT guy.
That can't be!!! I keep being told by Brits that America is a dictatorship!!! How could that be happening in Britain? 10+lmao points in their faces.
It's not IT, it's I(dio)T.
This is what happens when you come out of an ice age. I've been expecting this since I was in 6th grade back in the 60s.

Heck, all anyone is out for downloaded songs is 99 cents anyway. Be hard asses and fine them double the amount and let the big corporations stew.
