I have a floppy drive in my computer. I used it last week.
I've never used the 5.25 inch floppy drive in my 386, though.
Interestingly enough, I saw a bunch of floppies on sale at the campus bookstore this morning and wondered who would pay however much they were asking for them.
Until someone finds out what every single internet user in the world is using as a webbrowser, non of these statistcs can really be trusted.
Theoretically, there may be Internet users who do't have a browser at all, since Internet != world wide web.
And Google has a high enough market share that its statistics should be good enough.
Online transfers usually get data all the way to destination, not just into the parking lot.
They do? It may just be the particular group of people I send files to, but sometimes when I send files they don't make it all the way into people's brains...
Well, if you have tens of thousands of burners at one end and tens of thousands of drives at the other, and tens of thousands of technicians running thing
(In my opinion, the difficulty of spelling a name with three vowels next to each other will be strike one against Tableau... if people can't remember how to spell it, they won't be able to find it the first/second/third/etc. time.)
It might be difficult for people who've never taken French, I suppose...
or a small microcasset recorder to just record the whole thing
Uh... what are you majoring in?
I've never tried recording lectures, myself, but I've heard from my fellow Engineering students that it takes twice as much time - because you need to listen to it again when you get home - and doesn't work as well.
Or, in the case of people who live in my rez, causing you to have to walk across campus, half-naked and dripping wet, to pay 20 bucks and get a key, (and laughed at), from Housing and Conference Services.
Lock your damn door, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Indeed. Not only can your stuff get stolen, but something could happen to you. I've heard stories about guys wandering into girls' rooms at night and hitting on them, or, in my ex-roommate's case, cutting thier hair. (She is my ex-roommate because she moved into another building after that. She also blamed it on me:p)
Also, consider buying a desktop, rather then a laptop. They're a lot harder to steal. And no, it's not worth having a laptop to take notes on in class - unless you're taking English Literature or something, you'll find it a lot easier to take notes the good old-fashioned way, on paper.
If these peoples' faces were plastered and vilified in the media then the'd hopefully become social outcasts and (hoping too much maybe) hopfully lynched.
Either that or they'd make a lot of money off it.
For celebreties, any exposure is good for sales, even bad exposure for doing things like shoplifting.
It might work better to do it the other way around - assume things are spelled correctly if it's not marked as spam - it would take care of dialects, and also typos.
I'd rather not have an e-mail counted as spam because a friend said 'teh' and the spelling-threshold was set extremely low.
I can say (with good reason) that the article on Simulating Network Latency is *very* relevant to work as a systme administrator. Just remember you're working, and don't send links to/. atricles that are way out of scope or send links to posts *you* make. The discussion may be interesting to your boss, and you may get kudos for reading/.
There's a difference between a first post and an educated, coherent comment on Simulating Network Latency.
I never used IE because it was bundled, I used it because it was better and didn't bork my box like NS did. [snip] Who cares what my homepage is, I use google because it's the best search engine (right now). The day it's no longer the best search engine, IMO, I'll stop using it.
I'm coming at this from the other angle, I only started using Google after I got Firefox and had the little Google thing in the toolbar.

As long as google can remain my friend, I hope they do take over all of online advertising. Adds that arent' hideous in some way and actually advertise things I'm interested in will, in my eyes, revolutanize the online world.
The key to that is "a long as Google can remain my friend".
Little useful text links are great, and actually get seen by people like me who only load images for the originating web site.:p
But watch out for how much trust you put in them, how do you know they won't start doing popups etc?

We live in a free society, if you don't like who's in office, go vote in November instead of complaining and whining like a little school kid.
:p
That only works for Americans. Don't show up to a poll booth in Canada in November - you would have been a few months late.

Valid point, though.
If he gave us a link the number of users using Firefox would incease dramatically. Which may not be a bad thing, from my biased viewpoint...

All you need for that are a lot of really big hard drives at the Blockbuster stores.
Well, if you have tens of thousands of burners at one end and tens of thousands of drives at the other, and tens of thousands of technicians running thing
Hmm.... I wonder whether they're hiring...
lol i typed the period at the end of the word google and the com just naturaly flowed out of my hands. thats crazy
Interesting. I very rarely actually type google.com, since I use the toolbar on Firefox for that.
However, this is getting rather off topic.

I would suggest, if you haven't got a laptop yet, a PowerBook,
If you haven't gotten a laptop yet, get a desktop. End of story, IMO.
a chick on slashdot? can I get your number?
It's right there, beside my name. See? "Toresica (788403)"... oh, the other kind of number...
Sleep! Who would ever waste their time doing that?

Whoops. That would be me. Thanks. :p

Thats an excellent idea, but recording the voice and picture of the lecturer requires permission, which isn't always easy to get.
:p
Somebody should tell that to my physics class.

I think people should be forced to take classes or seminars before using the Internet.
Most people do, now, in Grade 6 Computer class or something.
Although not quite that elaborate, usually.
