I, for one, hope that Verizon doesn't get the iPhone anytime soon, or that if they do, it does not mess with the great voice and data service that I currently have on my Droid, like that way that many people say that the iPhone is ruining AT&T's service.
Contact the JCI and they should be able to put you in contact with a local branch in the location of your choice who should then be able to find a way to use your services: http://www.jci.cc/
That is actually stricter than what I want. Ideally I want just my name and picture to show up for everyone in public searches and nothing else. I have a rather unique name and I still want people who know me to be able to find me in the search and verify that it is me by my picture.
Well, then, tell me how to set my Friend List and Pages sections to be Only Friends.
I do not need strangers seeing who my friends are or what other pages I like.
So, what if that key doesn't exist at all? Does that mean you are protected, or vulnerable and can't easily fix it? We are a SuSE shop, and I have checked all 3 version that we use in production: SuSE 8, SuSE 9, SuSE 10, and all 3 do not have this key.
# sysctl -n vm.mmap_min_addr error: 'vm.mmap_min_addr' is an unknown key /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr: No such file or directory
I played it for several years, made over a grand in real money profit, and had a lot of fun doing it, but now I have a real life fiancee and a little daughter, so I have pretty much quit playing due to lack of free time, but I still miss the fun I had playing and creating things there sometimes.
Actually, Panasonic made some of the best Digital Point & Shoot, non-DSLR cameras out there. I just bought a new Panasonic Lumix for my fiancee after MUCH research. And, I was looking to buy a Panasonic Lumix fz28k for myself, but now I think I am leaning back to the Canon SX10. Unfortunately, none of my researching had come across this new development until today. Having already boughten 4 extra generic batteries that last just as long for my current Canon PowerShot, I am not sure that I would want to have to go back to $50 verses $5 dollar batteries.
I played it obsessively for about 2 weeks and then I went back to playing RTS games like Command & Conquer 3 and Supreme Commander and haven't been back since. Despite its supposed infinite combinations, it has held almost no replayability interest for me since raising 2 creatures from Spore to Spacefaring.
There is also more to MP3 compression than just the bitrate. What software they were compressed with can matter a lot as well. I have compared many MP3's from different compressors with Spectrum and Fast Fourier Analyzers and have seen a wide variety of differences. I have seen very bad 192 bit rate mp3s and very good 128 bit rate mp3s. Some older free compressors would chop off the high end of the spectrum terribly on mp3s and other good compressors, such as Fraunhofer II HQ codec, would not chop until a much higher spectral range. Also, some of the first Apple iTunes AAC's were chopped very low. A good 128 bit mp3 compression of a CD track was often WAY better when compared to the same song from iTunes. Thankfully, times have moved on and now there are very good encoders, such as LAME VBR, but just keep in mind that not all MP3s (even at the same bitrate) are created equal.
This is brilliantly simple. I have been fighting some very persistent foreign spammers on my little local interest only phpbb forum by adding various.htaccess blocks, but all I have to do is add a simple zip code validation on the sign up page. It is something anyone local should know. That should stop all but the most dedicated manual spamming. Thank you, thank you for the idea.
This device is built on the same hardware platform (TI-OMAP3 ARM Cortex-A8) as the Pandora, but in a larger form factor. This is great news for the community as it will mean that much more software available for the Cortex-A8 platform.

Where I have worked for 10 years, we use portable shell scripts to maintain hundreds of database servers on several different UNIX platforms including Linux, AIX, DEC, and even SCO.
Our older utility suite which had a full character curses like menu system is comprised of around 54,000 line of shell including comments in 214 scripts.
Our new system which has a full web interface is around 64,000 lines of shell including comments in 226 scripts, plus it makes calls out of the older utilities as well.
The longest individual script I maintain is currently 2,741 lines long, but it includes many functions from our shell libraries and makes calls out to even more shell utilities.
And, it all still works on all of our Linux, AIX, DEC, and SCO servers.
Also, as being a Java programmer, I would hate to even try to calculate how many lines of code it would take to try to duplicate all of the functionality in Java.
I can attest to that. When I started working for my company 10 years ago, they were just starting to switched from big iron to Linux servers and started naming them with, I kid you not, 4 letter animal names: bear, griz, frog, toad, croc, rino, etc. Also, all of the Windows servers were named after Snow White & the 7 Dwarves. Then, years later we merged with another company in another state. Now all new servers are prefixed with state location, then function code, then a number: ndapp1, modev1, ndqa2, mobeta1, ndtest2, mofs1, ndts1, etc. Boring, but functional.
So, this is what I am wondering. I created some virtual items in SL and sold them for a couple of years and made a decent Linden profit with 0 investment. Then, last fall I cashed out around $500 worth of my Lindens to apply to a new computer. I am sure I need to pay taxes on this, but they don't send out W2's or anything and I have no idea what to report it as. I have always done my taxes online with TurboTax and now, ironically, because of profit earned in a virtual world, I might have to go see a real tax man.
I have recently started playing Balanced Annihilation based on the Spring game engine. http://spring.clan-sy.com/ The game has mainly been oriented to online play, but at least 3 good working AI's have been built by the community and I have enjoyed pitting them against and watching how they behave. http://spring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=15 You can almost anthropomorphise them to have different personalities. Being that it is all free and open source, if you are interested in RTS game AI, you may want to check them out.
The most important thing... with any virus software... is to make sure you have it set to "Ask me before removing threats" and NOT "Remove all threats automatically". That way you get to make the final choice about what gets deleted and you can avoid any false positives from destroying anything important.
I now run AVG on both of my systems and have never had it delete anything. Previously, I have had both McAfee and Norton find false positives and want to delete things that I knew were safe. So, false positives are nothing unique to AVG, although this was a particularly bad blunder.
Exactly. I started out my first programming job writing cross compatible utility shell scripts that had to work on AIX, DEC, and SCO UNIXes as well as Linux across 500 or so servers that didn't have consistent PERL installs, if it was there at all. So, I got very good at writing complex and very portable scripts using only sh with the standard complement of grep, sed, & awk. awk became truly indispensable as it was the only higher level scripting tool that I had available to me that was was pretty much the same on all IXes.

Funny thing is, my browser is unique every time I go there, thanks to Firesomething.

Sweet! Another reason why I can't wait to get my Pandora in another 1-2 months.

Hey, I made one of them flaming torches that got copied from my site onto hundreds of others. I am still kind of proud of that little torch ;-)
No, they are still working on perfecting the rapid nadion effect.

I think Bos Wars would be a great choice:

Also Spring with its various mods is a great free game, but might be a bit much for the hardware:
