window.open(this.href) opens a new browser window with the link's URL, and return false prevents the link from also loading in the parent window.
No javascript? No problem! It will load just like a regular link will.
You can use this to work around agressive popup blockers, or situations where the page takes awhil e to load, and blocker's like mozilla's are agressive while the page is loading.
foo = window.open(this.href); if (foo) {return false};
So if the window fails to open, it won't prevent the link from loading in the current window.
Yeah, I remember looking for the wireless patches when the cebit edition, cause my wireless card Just Worked on Knoppix, and absolutely not on any vanilla kernel, or any other patch set that I tried. Nowhere on the internet could it be found.
Actually I just looked again and I still can't find anything. The patches on linuxtag are really outdated, knoppix-customize is dated 2003.
Thats pretty amazing for month old an Free software project. Even the Cedega (non-open) sources are easier to find than the Knoppix sources!
Well, not really. I notice about a 10FPS difference when running Wolfenstein:Enemy Territory under KDE and several apps running, versus under TWM with just teamspeak running alongside.
Better than Windows under similar conditions, but Linux isn't completely immune to memory constraint related slowdown:)

I wonder if they've changed their lame ass cancelation reversal policy.
I canceled my AOL way back when, and continued using the service while the DSL people were coming. And I got another bill...apparently if you log in to the service at all after you call to cancel, the cancelation is reversed. So, you either get screwed for another month, or have to forfeit the rest of the month's worth of service that you paid for. I'm glad I left, they can burn to the ground for all I care.
Absolutely, but most people haven't experimented enough to figure that out what they like. I knew what I wanted to do since I was 5 years old. Not everyone is born with a completely obvious knack for a certain career path.
Or, they know what they want to do, but just aren't honest with themselves due to societal pressures. Some people are born to stock shelves, fix cars, philosophise, cook, etc, but these kind of careers don't pay well on average, and therefore doesn't please the parents, nor makes it easy to find a hot date. So, they pick something randomly, or whatever their dad/father-figure does, and end up blindly searching around for whatever they can get themselves interested in. From talking to people at my school, I'd say > 50% of engineers are like this.
Hiring someone to go back in time to kill your father is the same as pulling the trigger yourself.
In any case, there is nothing "magical" about being back in time. The assassins presense in 1952 is not an uncertainty. The fact that you are alive to give the order is the best proof one can get from any experiment. He will fail. Whether the assassin reads your request in the present, or after he traveled to the past makes no difference - time is continuous throughout the process.
Basically, any decision involving "I want to change this" will never work, because your actions during time travel are already in effect, you just have yet to go back and do them. So nothing ever changes.
Hmm and here's something to chew on...if precise time travel is possible, then nothing is causal.
No, thats not it. In order for that to happen, GW would have to be killed by you already in the past in this time in order for you to go back and kill him.:D
Think about time travel as a recursive thing. Going back creates a loop in time, and the outcome will change slightly on each repeat until there is produced a perfect match of both present and past, and then time moves forward. Or, rather, you can't percieve time after you come back from traveling in the past until you've altered yourself in a complementary manner to the present. So looking from the outside, something already has to happen in the past before you can do it, because of the recursive nature of time travel. Inside, however, in order for you to be motivated to do something in the past, you can't know about it, so it can't be astounding like killing someone who is now well known to you.
There is no infinite loop allowed. Lets say you set out to kill your grandpap in the past. You go back to nineteen dickity two, and you have your target in sight, finger on the trigger. You won't fire. Nothing in the world could convince you to pull that trigger - because you exist because you didn't. There is no such thing as dissapearing while in the past. Time is continuous even while looping back. If you brought back an inanimate object with you, and went back in time to break it, no matter what happens it won't be broken.
The cool part is, ultimately you don't have to worry about being careful during a trip to the past, because your actions are already accounted for.
IE was never forced on anyone! People started downloading it because NS was a big bloated piece of proprietary lock-in FECAL MATTER.
Not really, regular people don't care about proprietary lock in, or fecal matter. The reason IE grabbed big marketshare in the beginning was that it was a programming platform, and it was required by different pieces of software. And so, it came bundled with that software...AOL, Quicken, etc. People started using what was there for them already. Netscape "imploded" when the management decided that they too needed to be a programming platform to survive, and Gecko was born out of the ashes of Netscape 5. But, it was too late at that point, and all over when IE was bundled with Windows.
If you can't think of any Genuine Microsoft Innovations(TM), there you have it.
It was bundled by ISPs however. AOL browser anyone? It required IE to be installed, and that came included on a separate floppy if I recall correctly. I forget if it was IE 2 or 3. I still have that floppy somewhere around here...
In response to your first link, I have to say independant diversity in broadcast television is really overrated. I don't have cable, and I'd rather have something more interesting on the latter 4 channels that I recieve than the 24-hour home shopping network, and 24-hour religous broadcasts.
Actually the least painful way to do it, IF you are installing Windows from scratch, is to create your desired final partition table with fdisk before you install anything. So it would be:
1. Boot up Knoppix, run fdisk
2. Install Windows
3. Install Linux
4. Done
That way you don't have to rely on Windows repairing itself after the fact, which isn't always reliable.
Anything other than democracy/representative gov't is not a long term solution.
Any government that focuses entirely on the wishes of a subset of the population will make more extreme/radical decisions than a government that focuses on the wishes of a larger or complete subset of the population.
Why 16384 instead of 16000? Because computers use base-12 counting. Thus 16 megabytes = 16384 bytes. Likewise, if you want to double that and allocate 32MB, you'd enter 32768.
Uh...base 12? No. The answer you are looking for is that 16k kilobytes (16 megabytes) is what you want to enter, not 16 thousand kilobytes.
A kilobyte is 2^10 (1024) bytes.
A megabyte is 2^20 bytes, OR 2^10 kilobytes.
So if you want 16 megabytes expressed in kilobytes (as this firefox setting wants), you take 16*2^20 megabytes, and divide by 2^10 kilobyte, giving you 16*2^10 (16384) kilobytes.
Although, this is simply an arms race, they'll come up with better popups. What would really be effective in the long run is site-specific javascript/images/plugins rules.
More like the MIT-graduated or whatever engineer parents designed and built the thing while the high schoolers watched and maybe helped out with a few things, maybe. Thats how high school robotics teams work:D

Watch this video of Terri, and decide for yourself. You could take it either way, of whether she should be laid to rest or not, but I'm sure you'll be convinced that starving her to death is inhumane, and just the wrong thing to do.

Backwards compatability is far more important to Microsoft than new features that may break existing programs or websites that depend on IE, or quietly introduce a gigantic security hole while people become dependant on the feature.
