thats obvious isn't it - its all that third party software that exploits internet explorer.
and that internet thing - if that didn't exist, internet explorer would be bug free.
unfortunately this isn't the case, and the bugs that were 'introduced' by third party softare and the internet are real. maybe microsoft should have designed internet explorer to be internet safe (or called it intranet explorer)?
i thought of something on holiday (either watch cnn or think....)
when your syphen petrol out of a car, you such on a hosepipe and let air pressure keep sucking all the petrol out for you, so if you connected a hosepipe to a pool of water, then let the water come out of the top of the hosepipe (after one initial suck), the water could fall on windmill type things, to turn them - this energy would never cease to exist, unless somebody left the lid off and the water evapourated, or there was dirt in the water and it clogged up the windmill thing.
would this work?
as per the subject, please dont mock, i have no knowledge of "windmill type things", or most else to do with hydroelectric power. just tell me if it would work, if not, why not and if so, is it currently in use/viable?
bearing in mind that to extract the hydrogen, you have to perform electrolisation. (assuming hydrogen turns negative, im not sure of that) it comes out by the positive end (i forget the name of this), which has to be separate to the negative end. This would mean it would be trivial to pipe the oxygen through an exhaust (or could it be used in a couple of pistons, even combined with something else maybe)?.
what about using a rechargable battery (like a normal car battery for the electrolisation, or even burning a little petrol to power the electroliser would still be more efficient than all petrol wouldn't it?
well if your running as a server, portability isn't a problem. you could run openbsd on it as a firewall/NAT box, plugin an external 120G drive and you have a smb/nfs fileshare box.
i'l try:/me bellows "wench! check for sour milk in the fridge....
nope - doesn't work, i'l have to get myself a netbsd fridge with IEEE802.11b and usb2 (with webcam) so i can stream the contents of the fridge wirelessly to tvtime or something
then follow the instructions from the nice ncurses interface and change the driver from nv to nvidia (this is in the drivers docs) (the drivers are quick too), and this is how you do it on slackware, a "difficult distro"
also, imo kde isn't flawed, not really Evolution or thunderbird from an email client.
Dev: have a look at kdevelop or kylix for delphi/c++, there's also monodevelop
not sure what you meant by "firefor hmmm" but there's also opera, lynx, links, netscape, khtml (same as safari) etc
games - i agree there but the situation is improving: doom, quake, UT, the now commercial tuxracer from sunspire,
i dont understand the relation this has to my last post but i'l answer anyway:
length of time is relative to the velocity of what you are measuring is travelling in relation to something else:
consider earth to be travelling at 0m/s, and a bullet is travelling at 50 metres per second, it would take the bullet one second to travel 50m, therefore 1 metre of time relative to this bullet and the earth would be 0.02 seconds.
according to FIFA rules (i cant remember exactly), football pitches can vary in size by 10m accross and 20m long (not sure of numbers):
old trafford is a short wide pitch, bayern munich's stadium (i forget the name) is a long thin pitch.
If you were a manchester united fan (as i am), you could measure the explosion in anfield pitches (anfield is liverpools stadium - local rivals [local rivals for you yanks])
no - tetleys is good (although not the crap in the pubs (tetleys extra smooth and tetleys extra cold) - the original tetleys that you can struggle to find in offies
i use kde because i find it to be much more functional than gnome. i also like how customisable it it, so i do customise it.
not that i normally answer trolls
microsoft cant get different copies (let alone versions) of office to play nicely with each other - i doubt microsofts documentation on the formats is up to scratch of making a perfect clone.

thanks for your time.
what did iddqd (invincibility) stand for then?
you mean like smp, 4k stacks, kernel debugging, preemtive?
... ...
there'll be a way to make it all work like the grandpairent suggested:
[ ] smp
[x] preemptive kernel
[x] 4k stacks
[ ] Kernel debugging
[ ] Sleep-inside-spinlock checking
[ ] Compile the kernel with frame pointers
and for the pedantic tiny-mistake-nazi's out there, i know these kernel options are in the wrong order
ive spent all afternoon so far (its 4:20pm here - uk) emergeing open office, does this mean theyre goin to release a new bloody version?
they cant patent other people's oss, but they can patent their stuff that oss software infringes on, therefore protecting the infringing oss software.
they can also say "leave my friend alone or i'l sue you"
Your right, except the british navy was the most powerful navy in the world.

the bbc is not funded by the government, it is payed for by anybody with a TV or radio (TV license)

Nvidia's binary drivers are great, from a console, just run this:
/home/me/downloads/hardware/NVIDIADRIVER.run" ; vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf ; init 4
init 3 ; su -c "sh

i changed banks because online banking doesn't work in opera on natests website, so i closed the account and moved to halifax.
i only have one debit card account though - no morgage or anything.
How about this

Thats my interpretation of what you said, anyway.
i say, on behalf of most slashdot readers (i think):
so?
also, what has happened to the articles on slashdot recently?

im from the uk - i'd recommend trying tetleys (bitter, not the tea), mcewans and newcastle brown ale.
:( - its normally about £12 for a crate of 24 of most stuff (about $8 i think)
woo!
shame about the massive tax we pay for our beer though
try a new version of kde (3.3) also, use a different theme (i use baghra at the moment, and there isn't "superfluous bordering everywhere"
what if i dont want to reply, eh?
shit.
i use kde because i find it to be much more functional than gnome. i also like how customisable it it, so i do customise it. not that i normally answer trolls
ah - thanks for that, although i now have 2 questions:
why do files which were saved in word get formatted badly when using a differnt copy (same version, sp etc) of office.
also, do you think the memory dump thing was a hashed up way of trying to prevent reverse engineering?
a third, not planned for question:
i thought office files used xml now?
microsoft cant get different copies (let alone versions) of office to play nicely with each other - i doubt microsofts documentation on the formats is up to scratch of making a perfect clone.
