I've recovered a few drives by slamming them down on a table. You slam the side opposite the connectors. The drive is going to fail soon after most of the time, so backup right away.
That type of logo used to be very popular, along with the little half elipsis swoosh. You'll find that a lot of companies use similar logos. Therer are only so many things that can be used that people will find attractive.
In GNOME 2.8 (not sure about earlier versions, I'm a new user) changing the screen resolution is just Computer>System Configuration>Screen Resolution. Combined with debian handling all the details for me with X (or maybe X did it) I never once had to open a console to change my resolution.
The same thing happened to me. The Xbox would pop and crack but I never smelled anything burning. After an hour later it got really bad and a little bit of smoke even came out. I opened the box to see what was burning. The power supply was completely fried and of course Microsoft wouldn't repair it.
One major site that doesn't work if you identify your browser as Opera is MSDN. Go on, try to search for something. Didn't Opera win a court case about this?
Either this is PearPC with a fancy GUI or they 'borrowed' some code from PearPC. On the video of their installer you can see macosx_3gb.rar being copied. The HD files for PearPC have to be a specific size so only a select few work.
Also, no one has made a foolproof HD creator that works 100% so obviously CherryOS couldn't steal that. That's why their profile setup only allows 3GB or 6GB HDs. That's what is available for PearPC.
Like the topic says, in IE I get 'Error: Object Expected'. If the site is broken in the browser people are going to be using to look at the site for the first time, what are people going to think about the browser Mozilla wants you to use?

Story on lost hydrogen bomb presents no threat to national security BY ELSA MCDOWELL Public Editor
In 1958, a damaged U.S. Air Force bomber dropped a hydrogen bomb in a sound about 20 miles from downtown Savannah after the bomber collided with a fighter plane.
The Air Force searched for the unexploded bomb for a few months and declared it lost.
Now, two men believe they have located the bomb under the mud in shallow waters near Tybee Island and are anxious lest terrorists might also find it, also. They have raised the question of whether the government should try to retrieve the bomb.
Reporter Tony Bartelme told the nuclear mystery story in a front-page feature last Sunday. Two readers criticized The Post and Courier for publishing a story that they feared could lead terrorists to a ready stash of weapons-grade uranium or worse.
One reader said, "I would think this would be a very secretive matter -- if not for CIA, certainly for Homeland Security."
"That's one point of doing the story," Bartelme said. As did the reader, the story raised the question about whether and how the government should be involved in this situation -- a situation that is not a secret at all. Bartelme reported on the scholarly debate about whether the bomb offers a threat of a nuclear explosion. He reported that the Air Force says it is safe and that others question why, if it is safe, it is not dug up.
He quoted some who want the bomb retrieved and others who want it left alone. The reason Bartelme decided to write about the bomb was that it was a good tale which had been reported locally but not very well. Some recent stories in national publications were a disappointment to him.
Over the course of about three weeks, Bartelme checked public records; interviewed respected investigators who had researched the Tybee Island bomb; tracked down the pilots who were involved in the incident back in 1958; sought out the perspective of the Air Force; and questioned scientists.
Bartelme said he was careful not to sensationalize the story and he is confident that his story did not compromise national security.
First, all the information he found was available to anyone who asked for it, he said. He did not get information from classified sources. A terrorist would be able to find the same information he did -- much of it on-line.
Second, it is highly unlikely that a terrorist could conduct a search and retrieve uranium from the bomb without being detected. The alleged site is very close to the beach. People are watching the area. Bartelme also said that, as with the search for the Hunley off the coast of Sullivan's Island, searchers have to expect to spend lots of time. Finding it requires the researchers be exactly on it -- not even 10 feet away.
The story only reported the facts. The course of action is really up to the Air Force. If the bomb is a dud, there would be no need to worry about it being retrieved by terrorists. If the Air Force has doubts about whether it is a dud, it is up to the government to proceed with keeping it out of the hands of terrorists.

I'm going to use the crowbar to "pay" them? Sounds like a plan to me.
Doh, that should be "the ReWind project".
WINE uses to be licensed with the X11 license and when they changed to LGPL the project was created as a fork. Transgaming is using the X11 licensed version and I believe pulling from and contributing to the ReWind project.
Actually, they use WebObjects for the store pages, not HTML and WebKit.
Still doesn't tell you who was responsible.
Not for long if Minimo has anything to say about it.

Yeah, and those would be the people you wouldn't see telling someone not to smoke.

Because then you might as well just use MPlayer?

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 works nicely for me.

Hmm, interesting quote at the bottom of the page showed up for me reading this.
"What you don't know can hurt you, only you won't know it."
Odd, I got that very message. Not knowing much about computers at the time, I reinstalled MS-DOS. I believe it was Windows 3.1.

If you like the .NET API but don't want to have to use objects for everything you could try IronPython.
iTrade? I think Apple is going to introduce iSue soon.
