You like the download manager? Blah, I like the plain mozilla one. Is anyone of the same opinion, and if so, can you recommend any new download management plugins?
I would not trust any third party firewall on top of the Windows OS. I wouldn't trust the Windows XP's firewall either (SP2 might be decent though). But why should I bother when there are much more tested and trusted *free* solutions out there?
So, some Cisco/Linksys products do use Linux and probably Netfilter. These products are more relevant to the discussion at hand (home, small business users).
Windows software firewalls have a shoddy history anyway. I remember BlackICE exploits from years ago. I don't see anything wrong with Linux' Netfilter or Open BSD's packet filter. This is code that the security experts use to secure their own machines, and is probably running on hardware firewalls anyways (like cisco).
I manage a personal website with PHP, and it's also my PHP learning project too. I took your advice and checked out Smarty.
As of now, I'm rewriting the entire site, and the code looks so much better. Before I had a mess of PHP and HTML. Now it's all managable and I might even open the code up since I'm not embarassed that it was such a mess.
Yeah, but the planets, last time I checked, move around. It would be cool if the model did this too. It would be funny to have mini planets following their orbits on ground in UK.
You are right, this is a common misconception. I think it is intentional on Apple's part though. They love the seamless transition between products that they do so well. My previous comment was a quasi-review of the iTMS, not iTunes itself.
Wait, waste my time just to make it easier to give my money to Apple? I think it's their job and other people got it right first, so that's where my dollar will go. Apple won't support my platform either (Linux), so I had to run it on my friend's PC to even check it out. And on top of that, the music is DRM protected. Maybe I'll give it a chance after it matures some, but first impressions count the most.
This music store comes through where Apple failed for me. I download iTunes, and I wanted to like it, I wanted to possibly save for an iPod, but the store interface was crap. I don't feel I'm alone on this, but here's why: There weren't enough categories. There were no ties between like bands.
Audio lunchbox divides the music up so much better. It has hardcore, four metal subcategories, a bunch of rock categories and even a seperate punk category (these are just my tastes). iTunes, from the searching I did, would label all this "alternative/rock". By doing this, it was hard to find bands that don't have radio exposure and thus hard for me to buy music unless I wanted the radio top 40 garbage.
Most violent criminals are only out for your money, and are not suicidal bombers. They are more likely to rob/harm you at the mall parking lot than on the airplane considering they can't make an easy get away off the plane and weapons are hard to bring onboard. Besides, what is a "criminal", I am friends with many, their crimes being copy write infrindgment, drug use, maybe even assault (anyone can end up in a fight).
So now Blizzard likes open source software, since it's going to save them some costs. I say they can go fuck themselves. I'll think I'll pirate their software over BitTorrent just to balance out the cosmos.
They are the ones who shut down FreeCraft and Bnetd, two software projects I was using regularly! Up until that point I had purchased WarCraft II, the WCII expansion, StarCraft and it's expansion and Diablo II. I think they should pay for their own hosting costs to hock their games. Sure, cease & desist whatever you don't like and embrace what will further your profits.

For example, could being an IM buddy with someone later come back and haunt you?
In the same way talking to the person in the checkout line in front of you could come back to haunt you. Slashdot of all places tries to explain that things done on the internet are NOT NEW just because they are on the internet, and then we have a story driving the other point of view. You always have to be careful with other people, but in order to live, you can't hole up in the basement thinking mommy told me not to talk to strangers.
What are you talking about? Really? You're not making any sense. He hasn't quit, he's just moved to the job title that he likes to do the work that he likes. Dell makes laptops and PDAs already, so wow, some foresight you have there. And shifting to a Linux-only market? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha...yeah.
This is perfect for you guys on a leash out there, however, if my SO wouldn't let me go to the bar after work, she wouldn't be around much longer. What is wrong with simple communication and understanding in relationships today??
Son of a bitch. I just installed Dosbox the other day so I could replay Sam and Max. I have the CD copy from the Adventure Pack with Day of the Tentacle, Indiana Jones and another game or two (Maybe Full Throttle). I was anxiously awaiting the new adventure. Lucas and anything tied with him destroys anything and everything we love.
Have you shared this script on the web at all? I run slackware on my desktop and here is how I upgrade software:
Run pkgtool and remove the package. Grab the source and./configure, make, make install
So, over time, the packages I have installed dwindles to just the core stuff and I hand manage everything else. I know swaret is an option too but my method hasn't annoyed me too much to change yet.
Humans also existed for a long time before ass washing slave monkeys, so you could just get rid of those too. Then you won't even have any monkeys that could freeze to death and no need for heat at all. The rest of us, however, prefer to live in the 78th century.

I should have said Linksys, which is now owned by Cisco systems. If you remember, a little while back they were found to be violating the GPL.

Verizon says BroadbandAccess's downloads should average 3oo to 500 kilobits per second (kbps) and can hit 2 million bits per second (Mbps) at best.
...and I thought slashdot editors were bad! I get 3oo kilobits per second myself though.
Your sig: I'm being modbombed for my opinions. Check my posting history.
No... you're getting modded down because you're wrong.
