But it's important because it shows that lawfully, bittorrent's uploading counts as distribution so you could be charged in the same way as a site hosting movies.
The line breaks weren't the problem for me, it having some text in red made me want to stop and concentrate on that word a little longer making my reading disjointed.
Did they not read the e-mail that was sent round last week saying that ICQ was running out of numbers and that some would be re-allocated unless they proved they were active users by sending the e-mail on to all their ICQ using friends?
Too late to complain now, you should have read the e-mail and sent it on like me. It's not hard, sheesh.
They are. Here at bath, p2p (including skype) has been blocked for ages (it's now even blocked internally apparently because people were maxing out the 100Mbit internal bandwidth with DC++ and preventing other people from accessing the internet)
We got an e-mail last week banning the use of streaming video sites such as youtube due to excessive bandwidth usage and instructing us to restrict our bandwidth usage to 128kbps. I wait with interest and amusement to see how long this will last (I'm only living in uni accommodation for a few more weeks).
Sounds similar to my uni, except we get occasional blips every hour or so, just long enough to break your download from a site which doesn't allow resuming (rapidshare) or get you killed in bzFlag.
I was interested to discover that although dc++ (and pretty much every other port) was blocked within the uni, ftp wasn't. On a local network, OpenVPN on tcp/21 works pretty well for most things (except when some games (SC:CT) like to bind to the wrong interface).
My own upgrade path went from Win98 to XP at home, and NT4 to XP at work. I never saw Windows 2000 running, and know nobody that did.
Man, you missed out. I used Windows 2000 at school, college and when I was on work experience at IBM. It was graphically similar to from 98 but very stable and without the bloatedness of XP. When my college 'upgraded' to XP, not much changed except the older computers in the labs ran slower.
You are correct though that most home users never saw 2000 (probably with the exception of those who had used it at work and seen how much of an improvement it was over 98)
I think they should know about big-O notation, as in what it means and how it will affect the scaling of your algorithm but I don't think it's useful to have to prove it formally. It's useful to express what usually you should be able to see quite quickly in a way that other people understand. It allows you to say A is better than B because it's O(nlog(n)) rather than O(n^2) without trying to explain why a recursive algorithm can be quicker than one which just has two for loops.
It's also handy for sanity checking when a quick calculation shows that your algorithm which works fine for n=10 will take something in the order of three years to complete for n=1000.
On the other hand, if you want/need the latest Nvidia driver, it can be a PITA (I had this today). For some reason, when installing the nvidia driver from their site, it works fine until you reboot whereupon the old packaged kernel module takes it's place and X can't start (due to the X driver not being the same version to the kernel module). In the end I had to uninstall the restricted modules package which also removes the linux-686-smp meta package.
Why is any nintendo internet related feature so slow. Serious question here. Using Opera is quite quick, connecting to Wii Shop or the News channel takes forever. Mariokart is pretty slow to connect too.
I also had a problem with spam from a sourceforge mailing list but I'm not sure if that was just caused by a filter assigning a label to everything from that mailing list.
In the end the project decided to filter all mail from an unregistered e-mail manually
This is a librivox recording. All librivox recordings are in the public domain. For more information, or to find out how you can volunteer, please visit librivox.org
Librivox is a great project but having to listen to this at the beginning of every chapter does get a little annoying.
It is like finding a car door open and yelling out "Hey This Car Door is Open and all the valuables are inside someone should lock it!" vs. Finding the person who owns the car and descretly telling him to that is is unlocked. Or just locking the door yourself.
Not really.
It's more like finding a bank vault open and shouting out, "Hey, everyone, this bank has left its vault open with your money in it."
Remember that the sensitivity of mouse movement is adjustable in most GUIs, so pointer manipulation is unlikely to be a problem for anyone.
Possibly, but however the mouse sensitivity is set up, I have seen people (mostly young children, or older people) being completely unable to get the pointer over the X to close a window or to move the mouse from one side of the screen to the other within the space of two mouse pads.
Also, not clicking requires greater pointer control, I found it much more difficult to activate one of the buttons on the site where you have to move the pointer across it horizontally using a touchpad than I did with a real mouse
Lucky for you, I did the same, the upgrade failed on dpkg-multicd saying it was trying to overwrite a man page which was in dpkg-dev. Then it just stopped, without installing the rest of the packages or configuring anything. Not realizing the error I restarted, only to be unable to boot.
Now I've got it sorted out and am running AIGLX with Beryl and bits of XFCE and it's great!

It sounds like you are actually needing to see more things at the same time. In other circumstances, two monitors are a little better at most.

Those are all set patterns which you can take which take into account the AI of the ghosts and should allow you to finish levels repeatably.

Not unless you give them your e-mail Interestingly, I can see a signup link which doesn't ask me for a mobile number
On the other hand, that would go some way towards proving his point about violence in video games causing voilence in real life.
Always cite the date.

Vista needs to be out now, so that next time people roll round to a hardware refresh, Vista is available.
Why do people seem to think that this is dumb?

I think ITV might have some reason to complain about that product name
