in order to aid my planet i require a deposit to the order of a few million miles which i can make from your interplanetary distance account information.
I don't have one of them. I think my friend NASA does though.
Kopete is what I miss most when I am on a Windows box. I prefer it much more over MSN 7.0. It even has now-playing and webcam support in the latest SVN. Oh, and it isn't an ugly as hell eye-sore. I have heard even 'normal users' complaining about the bloat of MSN. Anyone who thinks that IM on Linux is of poor quality just hasn't got the facts right.
Heh, I was waiting for someone to say that. I've been using Writely for a few days now. Although I'm not terribly overjoyed by having my documents stored on a remote server, Writely does allow you to easily download documents, post them to another server (blog them) or email them. Admittedly, the interface does have some small issues (sometimes the caret on the text-area gets a li'l funky).
With so many people already trusting their email to large companies, I don't see why there has to be so much whinging over another web service that keeps track of personal information. While the level of privacy, security and reliability of an online wordprocessor is inappropriate for a business situation, it is just what I have wanted for writing up assignments for school. I don't need to keep my flashdisk up-to-date or email myself with the latest revision of my document, instead the latest revision is just there, able to be edited directly. If I want an older revision I also have access to that. It saves me a lot of hastle with the mess that can arise from getting documents to and from school, especially since at my school you have to go out of your way to find a computer with a usb port. There are many people I know of who work directly off their flashdisk. It is doubtful that the reliability of a web service is worse than that of a flashdisk that is always on hand, able to fall prey to any number of accidents.
A good solution would be to distribute(sell/opensource/whatever) the software that runs web services like these so that smaller, more trusted servers eg. my school can deploy such a service. It is always good to have someone you can shout at in person and be held personally accountable for any stuffups. ^_^
Surely with all of the leaks that happen these days Apple anticipated that their product might make its way around the net. Even if it is a developer release (where it is hoped that the developers can be trusted), it isn't completely implausible that some sort of 'phone home' feature is hidden away somewhere.

Dewd, I live for the KDE start sound. It's so awesome! Not the new one though, it is icky.

I've got the urge!

Is it just me or wasn't there a recent email hoax claiming something similar but more ridiculous than this.
You took my words before I could say them.

- Pages are blocked for stupid reasons (e-commerce or message boards/bulletins)
- The filter list is rarely updated. (In a way this is good because
.nyud.net:8090 has not been added yet ;-) )
- A lot of pages useful for school work are blocked
- A lot of pages that should be blocked aren't blocked
IMHO this kind of censorship is ineffective and should be abandoned.I remember BBEdit on the Macs back in Primary School. The only difference is that back then it was the teacher writing the web pages.
Summer sure ain't here for me but even if it was my hands would still be purple with pink splotches like they usually are.
I still haven't finished "Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry Finn"...
I started reading it 4 months ago.
Why doesn't anyone think of the slow readers like me?
If TV took away an IQ point for every 100 hours I don't know how I'm typing this. :-)
So true. Maybe Australia should abandon any future republic referendums for an anti-US alliance referendum.
The scary thing is that in some ways Australia is actually becoming another state of America.
