when naming a directory or file I use underscores between any multiple words (i.e. file_name_has_underscore.txt). This also helps ensure compatability with any system (while most systems can handle blank spaces, there are times when some systems do not).
All files get grouped in similar directories and sub-directories. It may be a pain at the moment, and some might say "You have a lot of sub-directories", but I know where my files are, and they do not overlap. (i.e. If I have a picture of some girl from IM. I would have a directory like this: \IM\images\Girl_IM_Name\Girl_Real_Name.jpg).
I also utilize the properties of a file and give as much of a description as possible for doing searches. Also, when I move my mouse over the file I get a mini-description (helps with larger files such as pdf books).
Hopefully this gave you some ideas. If you have any suggestions, that would be cool.

Do they have back paying alimony? "Dad, yea you, you owe me 2.5 million bucks. Pay up or else." Well maybe I will change my tune if that should happen lol.
While your points are valid on a knowledge level, they do not factor (IMO) into the human emotional level. The suffering it would cause right now would far outweigh a slight potential increase. I think that this knowledge would do more harm then good. As the saying goes - let sleeping dogs lay.
Now would I personally want to know - I would take a chance...but I should be aware that it could also be bad - very very bad.
Your Will can include anything you want that is legally yours. So put your passwords in it. There is no reason to rewrite the law since the law already makes Wills flexible. Now it would be nice if you could do a survivorship type deal with ISP's, but I gather it would be easier to do it with an ISP that you pay a service fee to. Do you think they want to go through the legal hassle (and yes it can be a MAJOR pain in the butt if family members are feuding) for a free account?
Unix? Unix freaks are on a plane of their own you know this yes (I mean this in a nice way).
So how is typing dir (in windows) or utilizing echo going to act as a firewall? This would be a great thing to know as I wouldn't mind doing it that way.
The reasoning to utilize the Jewish faith is because it is the parent of many other religions (Muslim, Christianity just to name two). It is also one of the oldest (if not the oldest) most established faith still in use today on a wide scale.
But actually, using the Jewish calander would mean we convert to a lunar calander cycle (if you look at the Jewish calander, it is different then the Christian calander...hence Jewish holidays always seem to fall on different dates.) Just to note - the Christian calander is based on a Solar calander cycle.
If we were to change to a more "accurate" system then I would want to utilize the most accurate system- irrespective of the religious group that "invented" it. Personally, the Solar cycle works well in my opinion...it is a standard that the entire planet can go by.
You know...the thing is, I picked up the M$ jargon from this site. I used to rant about it, but then I was assimilated (resistence is futile so to speak):D
Just to make a note: I do not hate Microsoft at all. I admire Bill and how much he has accomplished for himself, his company and society as a whole (please lets not spark up a debate, this is just my opinion and nobody will change it).
I thought ZA catches all programs based on it being a different program not based on the port number (hell it's even caught IE and other windows integrated products). Maybe if Google integrated itself with IE so ZA has no clue that it is Google, but thinks it is IE?
No offense, but I hate when people throw acronyms, shortened versions, or commands. Computer field is a LARGE field and what one person knows is not necessarily known by another. For example: Go to a pediatrician and ask him about neurosurgery and his answer will be a referral.
Also, minimalistic is arbitrary. One persons minimum needs is not the same as another. The only thing consistant with minimalist is that a person keeps the programs they need down to a minimum.
Yea i think by default the capabilities of ZA are annoying (especially to the novice computer user). I would have liked to have seen an advanced option though in M$s firewall. Figuring they want to keep people from using other company software - this would have given me a reason to do such a thing.
apparantly so if you wrote that long of a reply. that or you like being a troll. Part of these forums is to hear people's life experiences - as the personal side of the story makes it interesting. If i wanted hard core facts I would open a text book.
It's so useful. I was having hopes for M$'s firewall, but I noticed that certain programs can automatically override it and insert themselves as "OK" programs to access the net (iTunes for example). Kind of annoying. Plus I do not see a list of every app the accesses the net, so that kinda worries me.
Some people think they need it. I just had a conversation with my co-worker - she keeps every piece of e-mail she gets (she is the IT manager, and subscribes to groups, gets all the spam caught mail etc, which amounts to about 1000 e-mails in all each day). She likes it for searching through her e-mails, which according to her is way faster then Outlooks search ability.
So people need it for various reasons...part of my needs is Zone Alarm, for nothing else then to block these programs from accessing the net. So if I installed google search desktop and it tried passing information...well over ZA's dead body:D
I was not disregarding anyone. Being a minimalist is the same across the board - keeping it down to the minimum. I think you were jumping the gun. I just said I keep the programs that *I* *need* to a minimum. So if you need a compiler then you need it. I wonder how many people need the google desktop search tool? I mean not just "hey this is cool, or this might help" but actually need it? I have a process (it's my own so it's seemless for me) of naming my files, and my directory structure. I never have a problem locating a needed file, unless it's some obscure system/application file (and then I just use the default search tool that comes with XP)
You can all, soon, download M$'s search tool - and we all know this will invade your privacy --- on purpose that is...:D
Programs like these (i.e. Gator password program) are the reason why I am a minimalist. I keep on my computer exactly what I need (pr0n included) and nothing else. Anything that potentially interfaces w/the web is a no-no with me (I use zone alarm, so I can see any program trying to access the net).
I learned something, a long time ago, about PC (political correctness)...
1) Todays PC word is not tomorrow's (went from retarded, to handicapped, to partially handicap, to disability) *just an example*
2) No matter what you use, you will always piss someone off
3) It's slang, get over it.
maybe he meant to say some catastrophie would happen on those percentages. We get volcanos blowing up all the time, tsunami's, glacial melts, etc. And who knows, maybe tomorrow we will all blow up in some crazy natural event - i prefer to stay ignorant (unless something CAN be done to save my ass) and die as a happy unknowing stupid sod.
I'm all for this idea. So what are the steps
1. Get lots of money
2. Do lots of research
3. ?????(results of research)
4. Make baskets
5. Make profit
If we had the ability to inhabit other planets/systems right now we would - just because we could. I would be happy if we could get a moon colony, make it work so it is independent then ship some people to mars....spread like wildfire, and eventually hit a new solar system. The only thing I might seen in my lifetime is the moon colony as well as possibly a mars colony. Other then that - well you better have a long freaking life span

Sure. It is relatively simple at hand.

no no...burn for MY sins, not me burn for your sins. Pfft I am Jewish, we don't go to Hell :D

Thats touching, but two things come to mind
1) Hey hot stuff, I am gonna ride you all night long like a dog in heat
2) Yes my wonderful lover. Our 30 year relationship, cheating on my husband has been great. He doesn't even realize that my child is really yours.
While this is worst case scenario - man it would definitly be throwing salt on the wound.
Screw em...I'm dead anyhow - let everyone burn for my sins
yea well...that Tron tv show copy thing would run squares around KITT....man :D

for those cell phone ear stickies that reduce radiation.
Soon to see on the labels of cell phones:
WARNING: Surgeon General warns that usage of cellular phones may be hazardous to your health.
Admit it, you just want to see a Valley Girls $300 shirt get ripped off.

As long as we had a sheet of glass & power to show our holographic librarian who is too witty for his own good - we should be OK.
And, obviously, a hot babe who lives on the side of a cliff wouldn't hurt.
