Not only does the city have to be on the coast, it has to be tropical in climate. Otherwise, condensation won't occur, and that's where the fresh water comes from. The power generation too depends on temperature differential so it's no good in winter.
Oh, right. Slashdot accepts advertising revenue from Google, and Google in turn features Slashdot feeds on their new portal page. So let's not go there.
No, let's talk about the 999th inane piece of code that lets you play music instead. That's so much more important.
Maybe timothy can post a dupe on this story. I bet he does. Who wants to take that bet?
And what is especially dispiriting about this dupe is that I submitted a completely different story about Google yesterday and it gets rejected.
I don't know, maybe my story wasn't really very relevant. You tell me. Google is tracking which search results you click on now. This is new, right? I don't know whether this is necessarily an invasion of privacy or anything, but it seems to be something they should have been more upfront about.
"Don't be evil" is slowly morphing into "It's OK to be just a little evil."
This is very good. The Matrix was breakthru scifi, but this premise would have relieved the move of a rather dubious premise, using humans for their body heat.
As has been pointed out, cows would have been the better choice.
I can't believe the reaction to the 2004 vote. It's like we're all sheep. We have all these indications of massive fraud, but then we stay still as the media tells us that there isn't any evidence of "widespread fraud."
Not only that, the same media that is telling us that there is no evidence of widespread fraud is actually withholding that very evidence, the exit polling data, from the people!
Not only that, they then can point to the election in Ukraine and say with a straight face that there was fraud. Why? Because the exit poll data says there was fraud!
Why can exit poll data be used to determine fraud in Ukraine but not in America?
And here we are, waging war on false pretenses. Killing a hundred thousand or more, and for what? WMD's? Don't exist. Ties to bin Laden? Don't exist. Turns out Iraq was in compliance with U.N. sanctions.
And now we have evidence that this was all a ruse, that a man that was never elected deliberately fabricated evidence to start a war. And what do we do?
Of course, I was speaking of the classic Mac's trash can.
And I did say that the.trash directories would be created on each mount, or volume. So the time spent moving the files is really no greater than that deleting them, since they would be moved onto the same volume.
A cron job could do the job of emptying the trash very well.
What I don't understand is why the *nixes don't implement something like the Mac's trash can.
OK, strike that, I'm sure it's been implemented, so maybe the question is, why isn't something like that installed as a default?
Create an invisible directory under each and every mount that is called.trash, and when *any* user does *any* rm command, instead of deleting the files outright, simply move them into the.trash directory.
It would let you recover from some of the more catastrophic rm's, and it wouldn't/shouldn't impair the time it takes to execute the command.
When finally you are shopping around for disk space, only then do you consider emptying the trash. Ideally you do this on semi-regular schedule that is decoupled from the act of rm'ing, but even if the situation required the rm followed immediately by the empty, you'd at least have one more chance to not be an idiot.
In this case, duplicates are easy to handle: read the next article, or go to another webpage. Duh.
I agree. Especially in the case of a story posted by timothy. I mentally do a sed -e 's/timothy/dupe/' whenever reading/.
I find I'm much more productive that way.
I think they mean, check your credit record to see if the bandits are making whoopie with your checking account.
What's troubling about this of course is that the very same people who lost your personal data are the very same people who you'll be paying to access it again to see if your identity has been hacked.
Otherwise I might prefer Apple's machines to x86 too. But I need my hardware watch points. Once you've been made to endure software watch points, you know you've bought the wrong machine.
Isn't that going to kill throughput? I mean, half the time, the only reason a person continues to seed is because he isn't there at his computer to grab the next file, right?
YOUR OWN SAMPLE CODE IS WHAT STATES THAT COMMAND-TAB IS DISABLED BY VIRTUE OF ENABLING FULL SCREEN MODE.
OK? Wasn't me who said this, IT WAS YOU!
And I never said there was an Aqua API. Aqua is the UI.
And the code you gave me is POINTLESS since it applies to multimedia/game software ONLY, and I acknowledged FROM THE VERY BEGINNING that these two classes of software do enjoy fullscreen capability.
However, Virtual PC is hardly an example of a typical Mac application. To do what they do they have to commit to working with the Mac at a very low level.
iCab is the much better example. Just downloaded it, and it works. Sort of. It too disables Cmd-Tab, which implies that they might be using the games/multimedia API to achieve fullscreen, and then wrote special code to handle the various issues that arise with that. Otherwise, why not provide a standard fullscreen mode, i.e., one that lets you cmd-tab out?
What I'm asking for here really shouldn't be too difficult to grasp, even for Mac zealots. I just want to be able to press a key, F10 say, that toggles a window between normal mode and fullscreen mode. That's it. Everything else stays the same, i.e., I can cmd-tab to other applications, activating items in the dock still bounce up and down, etc. The only thing that's different is the window.
Netscape 7 doesn't support fullscreen. Your saying it does doesn't constitute proof to the contrary. I need to see it. I've gone through all of the preference panes twice now, and all of the menus, and there is no fullscreen setting. None. Nada. Nothing. Nothing on Google about it either, except for some weird JavaScript popup shit and even that doesn't work under OS X (lol).
As for your tutorial, you're only making my original point. Yes, you can prepare games or multimedia applications that use the fullscreen. This was never in dispute. And this is what the tutorial is about: making games and multimedia applications.
Note where they talk about how the shielding window disables Cmd-Tab. This basically confirms that fullscreen under Mac sends you into a non-Aqua mode that is unusable for conventional applications.
The link you give (I'm being charitable here) doesn't link to any code, but rather to an API call that was already being discussed here. And I'm not convinced this call yields the results you say it does (or really, the results I want to see.) Note where it says:
Note that the graphics context associated with a shield window is not a full-featured drawing context.
Sounds kind of ominous to me, especially since I still haven't seen a non-game/non-multimedia application on OS X that can take over the full screen!
You say Netscape does. Prove it. Show me how. I have the latest version of Netscape. No fullscreen functionality is anywhere to be seen.
/Library/Frameworks is not for settings. Libraries go in there.
No, actually, frameworks go in there.
Where did you get the idea settings go in there?
Um, from the fact that frameworks will store certain settings in there?
Any Mac OS style prefs go into ~/Library/Preferences
/Library/Preferences too, but I was talking about settings, which to me at least is a broader concept, so/Library/Frameworks works too.
Where did you get the idea Apple is controlling who can do full screen? They post example code on how to do it.
Which was the example code I tried to use and which failed, for the reasons cited above.
Any Aqua window can go full screen.
I don't think so. I think the window you're displaying is part of some kind of multimedia functionality that, as I've stated, has been deigned by Apple to be suitable for fullscreen representation.
And hey... Netscape 7 runs in full screen here too.
How? I have Netscape. No fullscreen options appear to be available.
I get case sensitive file names.
But Apple doesn't recommend you use that feature, given that they so royally screwed up in the beginning (you see, now everybody has written their software to expect case-insensitive names.) Have fun backing up and restoring your files!
Either you don't understand the points I'm making, or you don't really know what you're talking about.
Slashdot Mirror
You fuckers.
This is exactly what I warned about!
And what did I get for my efforts? Useless +1 Funny mods!?!
You should all mod me up +1 Insightful. I deserve it.
No really, I do. And you know I'm right.
Just do it.
Not only does the city have to be on the coast, it has to be tropical in climate. Otherwise, condensation won't occur, and that's where the fresh water comes from. The power generation too depends on temperature differential so it's no good in winter.
And while I'm bleeding karma, how about this...
Google is now tracking which search results you click on.
Check it out for yourself.
Don't be evil my ass.
How about covering real news? Like the fact that Google is hiring Neo-cons to run the company?
Oh, right. Slashdot accepts advertising revenue from Google, and Google in turn features Slashdot feeds on their new portal page. So let's not go there.
No, let's talk about the 999th inane piece of code that lets you play music instead. That's so much more important.

"Don't be evil" is slowly morphing into "It's OK to be just a little evil."
Stooge 1 - Moe:
"You're holding the wrong end of your light saber, moron."
Stooge 2 - Larry:
"This isn't a light saber. Moron."
Stooge3 - Curly:
"Now THIS is using the force, Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk."
Stooge 3 1/2 - Shemp:
"I always knew they were gay."
If there's a VII, VII and IX, you just know there's going to be X, XI, and XII after that.
Then it's the prequel to the prequel. Negative I, II and III. I don't know, maybe Darth Vader discovers time travel.
Unless you get Natalie Portman to be wearing that outfit Carrie Fisher wore in RotJ, I don't want to hear any more about it. Please.
Enough already.
This is very good. The Matrix was breakthru scifi, but this premise would have relieved the move of a rather dubious premise, using humans for their body heat.

Parent is exactly right. We should be ashamed.

Absolutely nothing.
Shame.
That makes sense, but wouldn't that also argue against having *any* safeguards, such as the confirm-before-deleting prompt normal users receive?
Of course, I was speaking of the classic Mac's trash can.

It was about a four hour compile, and when it was done, guess which site I go to to see if it's working: slashdot.
And guess what the fucking story is?
Fucking Firebox releases fucking 1.0.3.
Whatever. At least it wasn't a dupe.

Take a look at slashdot's robot.txt. First I've seen of the crawl-delay instruction.
(and isn't it interesting how Google, MSN, and Yahoo have access to content on /. that all the other search engines are prohibited from crawling?)
OK? Wasn't me who said this, IT WAS YOU!

Still no real example of that.
And as for Netscape, under Mac OS X there is no Full screen item in the View menu. You're thinking about Netscape under Windows no doubt.
