Well 2 of the digital picture frame projects can be updated remotely over the internet. I wonder how long this'll take before someone hacks it and uploads all pics of goatse or tubgirl for all to see?
Well according to stallman, even if a program is completely useful to you but is proprietary, he won't use it. If the equivalent program of it is free, but is so buggy/useless to you, he'll still advocate to use it simply because it is free.
In other words, to him it doesn't matter how useful a program is, if it's not free, he won't use it. The big example is using a proprietary program to control the source code of the linux kernel because according to Linus it allows him to be more productive and get things done faster. But because it's not free, stallman says he disagrees with Linus's judgement on using that proprietary program. He doesn't take into consideration the fact that with Linus making this decision, it causes the free alternatives to source control something to live up to. Basically saying, if you want to be used for your features instead of being that you're just free, this is the features you want to have and the ease of use that you want to have.
There will always be free and proprietary software. Some free software advocates like Stallman simply will say use this and this program because it is free. That doesn't really cause something to be popular among end users. Features and ease of use do that. Look how long it took to build a free web browser (mozilla and firefox) before end users would accept and use them. It was never because they were free, it was because they were useful to use over the proprietary alternatives and more secure, plus they were free.
Free and usefulness go hand in hand I think. Once open source authors realize that, like the Mozilla and Firefox developer teams realized, then we'll get good products like Mozilla, Firefox and Thunderbird. I think the future looks bright. Arrogance in the end never wins however.
harm_: today this one lady got pissed off cause we dont carry i quote wireless power supplies ogregasm: a what harm_: thats what i said harm_: maybe you want an adaptor for a wireless router o rsomething?? harm_: shes goes no no i read online about this i wannit i wannit:harm_: then she got pissed when i told her that kind of technology doesnt exist ogregasm: heh:harm_: i tried to be nice but it got to the point where i was like"get back to us in 30 years" harm_: "once we attain the secret of positron deflector shields, wireless power supplies shall become a reality" ogregasm: why bother being that much of an ass to the poor woman harm_: well shes the one who got all up in my face asking for the store manager harm_: i told her he had just teleported to a corporate meeting in tokyo
Well gee look at that. 1947 is when holigrams originated from. And that same year we had a mysterious event happen in Roswell, New Mexico. Part of what was recovered was laser technology.
Well you arent gonna get much of an answer then here. Most/.er's can only suggest that. And there is no longer much of an option in terms of having a thin client option. That was only in use when pc's were ineffective when it came to cost. But now they're cheap enough that you no longer need to actually look at a thin client/server option.
1. If a woman does bad on a test she thinks it's her fault. If a man does bad on a test, he just shrugs it off and gets on with his school work. 2. A woman wants to go into a career that will make a difference in the world. Men not so much so. 3. The nerd factor. Women see it as for men only. And are overwelmed when there is so few women compared to men.
Now I shall put my opinion on the 3 points above:
1. This is unfortunately the way women think. It's stupid because if one of the men going for the same thing tells her to just shrug it off like he did, she won't. And I don't know why. 2. Why do they want to do this? I don't know. Men want to go into IT because of the money, not really to make a difference I think. 3. Women don't seem to know why it's so much fun like men seem to find it fun. It could be cause of high school.
As for other careers going up in the percentage of women going into them, there is only so many women around. When one field gets more women, its gotta come from some other field. When other fields are going up, they are going to get the women going into them from somewhere.
It's the same thing with the economy. Money is always the same amount everywhere except when inflation occurs, only then is it increased. Wealth is never created or destroyed, just shifted.
never looked up at the sky have we? Never heard of witness accounts? the name travis walton not sound familiar? they've already been here with us, we just have been too ignorant to realize it.

how bout a universal way to install software on linux like there is in windows? You run the installation, copies the appropriate files to the needed directories, adds the shortcuts to the programs menu in whatever desktop environment you are using, done. If you want to remove it, it'll remove all those things it just added to your system. Windows does this, that's why its a breeze to install new software in windows. Try doing that in linux. Try having ONE setup program to install on any linux distro. ONE setup program to uninstall that just added program that works in any linux distro. But we don't have that yet. Now I know why linux distro's have so much third party software. It's cause each program has to be customized to work with that distro. Shortcuts have to be added to the programs menu of whatever desktop environment it's using. You can't use the rpm of a program for say fedora core 2 for mandrake 10, cause they're not compatable. If you do happen to find a program that you need installed and there is an rpm of it, if that's what your distro uses, then great. But you gotta remember if you don't have a needed file, then it won't install and you gotta hunt that down. Once you do manage to install it though, then you gotta add in the shortcut with a proper icon for it in the programs menu of whatever the desktop environment is. My second point is this. Distro's include third party software because of how difficult it is to install software in linux. So they think if they include common programs that everyone can use and would want, and give them a choice of which ones they would want to use, then they can try to avoid that big HUGE problem with software installation on linux. It doesn't fool everybody though.
...was installing the norton internet firewall which advises you to turn off the xp firewall. Don't install that until you are all updated. The xp firewall is good enough for when you need to install patches. For sp1, just download the full network version and you can then disable your internet connection to install it. Reboot and it's still disabled but the xp firewall is active. So you then re-enable the xp firewall and then go download all the updates on the windows update site. Before rebooting you disable your network connection again, reboot. Then enable it again and check to be sure you have all updates installed by going to windows update again. That's it. Btw, I don't think you need to disable the xp firewall to be able to install sp1. Remember the first lesson, ALWAYS have a firewall active on your internet connection. You broke that rule the moment you disabled norton's firewall and didn't enable xp's firewall to install sp1.
yeah I use mozilla and IE when I'm forced to. But trying to tell me to use mozilla because it has soul, that's pure BS right there. I'm not religious either so it be a pointless for me. All that is trying to do is to get people who are religious to try it out.
oh gawd that would be so annoying. I do the same thing in windows all the time. I highlight a url and copy it using control+c, then highlight the current url in mozilla and hit control+v to paste it. But if it automatically copies whatever is highlighted I would want that option off ASAP. The only other program in windows that actually does that is mirc in the chat window when you highlight text someone else has said while chatting on irc, then it'll copy it for you automatically. It only does that because it only highlights the text for you while the mouse button is held down, but stops the highlight once you let go of the mouse button. So it was appropriate here that it copy it for you what was highlighted. Other then that, most other windows programs only copy text that is highlighted after you press control+c or when you go to the edit menu and click on copy. This method makes sense to me. So as long as kde/gnome has a way to turn off that highlight/autocopy function, then I can use it. But if it doesn't, then I wont use it. And dont whine about how its open source that I can change it if I want to, I'm not a programmer. So having the source means didly squat to me.
well you all remember a few weeks back when that article came out critisizing gnome 2.6 for its backwards gui behavior. And some of you tried to defend it. Well looks like the folks at linux.com agreed with the author of that article since it has a link to that article in this review of fc2. Guess you defenders of gnome were wrong again.
I think the problem is with education. They stress to us that we are to do good in all classes that we are taking. They make us take classes that don't have anything to do with what we are actually going into. When the moment you finish university/college, all that knowledge essentially becomes worthless except for the knowledge that has to do with what u had planned to go into. All those extra classes u had to take are now worth nothing in the real world. Having a well rounded education does NOT help you out then. Being good in a specific field does. It's no wonder so many people cheat in classes like english, history, etc. Cause they know they won't use any of that knowledge once they are done the class, so why bother trying to learn it?
"With paper and pencil we've spent decades figuring out what's going to go wrong and how to deal with it," Mr. Bruce said. "With online we just don't know where all the problems are."
With online? You mean with doing it online. And you call urself an english teacher.
not. First off windows 2000 is not designed for home users, thats why windows xp was released. Windows 2000 is for business users, who have an administrator that handles updates/fixes etc for them. Now if you are the administrator, the first thing you do when you are installing windows 2000 is to take out the network cable so that the install isn't interrupted at all. Then quickly install a firewall after the installation of windows 2000 is completed. Even zone alarm would work out and it would be installed quickly and quietly. Its standard settings pretty much protect you from anything. Now even before that you should untick client for windows networks and file and printer sharing for microsoft networks on your dial up connection before you connect and those vulnerable ports that the worms have been using would have been closed then. Giving you the necessary time to get the zone alarm firewall. Then you can take ur time getting service pack 4 without being effected by any worm. Having a firewall is a must on any computer connected to the internet. That is why microsoft is enabling it by default in service pack 2 for windows xp. Now as for windows xp users, all they gotta do is make sure the network cable is not plugged in when installing windows during a clean install and enable the firewall on the network connection right before u plug it back in. Then u can download all the updates you need no matter how long it takes you. The standard settings of the firewall in windows xp are just fine when enabled. And after installing all the needed updates, you can then install another software firewall if you want and can disable windows xp's firewall then. But my main point is don't be on the internet without a firewall on. Windows 2000/xp/2003 do have another firewall built in though as well. Go here if you want to read up on it. It's quite useful as it allows you to only block certain ports if you only need certain ones blocked instead of all of them.
