will reduce the earth's albino, or reflectivity, which would accelerate the warming
Pretty sure you meant 'albedo'... when I read this I thought: white people are increasing the world's reflectivity?! Then there is some benefit to living in my mother's basement after all!
are you signed in to your gmail account - or to some other google service in that internet cafe? if so then google is customizing your search results. i always get results i clicked on before as top hits for my searches due to being signed in to gmail all the time.
normally i would agree, but the problem is that the people who would download from you were (probably) not the ones who created the torrent. by ceasing seeding you have harmed the torrent creators by helping prevent their content from reaching downloaders, but you have also harmed downloaders for the same reason. we should try to think of a workaround that will benefit the community as a whole.
i recommend creating our own torrents of files in viewable formats, modifying vlc and releasing a fork that plays videos in this multipart rar format, or both.
i also have a 1000. i have had two issues with easy peasy:
1) i cannot disable the trackpad click (which i accidentally activate constantly) without (as i found by googling) hacking a driver-specific config file; i haven't had time to check whether the trackpad is actually being controlled by this specific driver, so i can't yet report any success on this front, and
2) i can't get wpa_supplicant to sign on to my campus's wireless network, which is admittedly 802.11x with some proprietary crap on top. the odd thing is that os x has no problem with it. i'm getting a timeout when the eee tries to send credentials. again, haven't had the time to do more debugging. wireless works fine with my (much more standard-bearing) apple-branded airport router at home (wpa2, no 802.11x).
other than that, it works good.
That's like buying an extremely overpowered, difficult to setup and impossible to maintain turbo for your Yugo.
So is Windows the turbo or the Yugo?:) I've thought about it for a while now and I'm still not quite sure. "impossible to maintain" makes me think the turbo is Perl, but "overpriced"? Maybe it's Windows after all...
Err.. that's not exactly the connection you want to be making if you're trying to stick up for Perl.
Why, because Slashcode sucks? I disagree, and anyway, I don't think that's why gp's point is moot. I think it's because I can't imagine a situation when someone would want to run Slashcode under Windows.
it may show 1 for a bit but after a while it will totally kill the bar. using rc3 on mac os x 10.5.3 (intel). of course if you still want the bar then i can't help you. perhaps you'd like to make a skin and become an internet celebrity when it takes off.
speaking of economic circumstances leading to innovation, i help administrate a website with an enormous video library (we have ~1,200 gigs of content at the moment). at 23, i'm still in college (finishing up my masters in may, looking at getting my ph.d. next). the ~$10.8k (us) a year i earn now is the most i have ever made in my life.
so i have a choice: i can either sell out (talking give up ownership here, not just show google ads), or i can do everything "on the cheap". i taught myself how to use (and to modify) open source tools instead of buying (yes, i'm an honest kind of guy) expensive, inflexible software packages that force upgrades every few years or even more expensive pieces of hardware that are so tightly integrated they can't be repaired and have to be replaced outright. instead of paying someone else to do a lackluster job implementing the tools, i write them myself - with the help of my friends.
and i see no reason to ever change. if there isn't yet an f/oss implementation of some bit of hardware or software i can't afford (e.g. a deinterlacer), then that just means one needs to be written. i take full advantage of the ridiculous speeds and relatively low prices of modern processors and do essentially for free what costs so-called professionals many thousands of dollars.

nokia no longer owns qt. http://tech.slashdot.org/story/11/03/07/1337211/Nokia-Sells-Qt
just as a heads up, it's spelled therefore in english.
it sounds like someone is speaking from experience. :)
I would tell give you the list, but they're pretty obscure. You probably haven't heard of them.

i just bought a new 17" macbook pro in april with a matte screen. it cost extra over glossy, but it was worth it.
Ebonics has its own grammar and established vocabulary?
So do Klingon and Elvish
no klingons or elves around though last time i heard.

i used it to get a file out of an rpm on a server once. was much faster than learning the rpm syntax to do it. glad to hear it's back.
Why does human language need to be proper? Doesn't it just need to be understood?
Perl/Windows shops? WTF?

You're using one right now.

what recourse is there when people upload your content to youtube, stripping your name off?
did you submit this to slashdot or are you just whining?
