  1. Used for gaming? on Super Tiny Espresso PC · · Score: 2

    Does that mean I can play games with it to LAN parties easily?

    Damn, I wish it was the same and easy for e-mails :(.

  3. Re: telling 'em to remove me... on On DDoS, SPAM, Telemarketing And Harrasment? · · Score: 2

    Isn't this bad like SPAM e-mails? I know that if you reply to remove from SPAM e-mails, then the spammers know your e-mail address is legit and pass it to other companies. Can't telemarketers do the same if they are told to remove your phone number?

    I look forward to hearing for replies.

    Dang it. The link got /.'ed. Does anyone have the page of it? I remember seeing a roach on an old project screen in sixth grade. All the kids were grossing out from the roach feelers and legs. Hehe. It was HUGE too!

    I do have a burner and use it, but some downloads are always updating and changing so fast that it is hard to keep up. I wish I could get a xDSL or cable modem but they don't serve in my home area :(.

    It sucks for my 26400 modem connection! I would like to download the whole package so I can download overnight, burn to a CD, use it on other computers without redownloading, etc. :(

  13. Benefit me? on Homebrew S/ADSL · · Score: 2

    I can't get cable modem and ADSL services in my home area (near Los Angeles). I was told my house was too far from the CO (GTE). However, I can get IDSL (144kb/sec both ways) connection but it is too expensive for my budget. Would this homebrew work for me if I were to build one or have someone build it for me? Or do I still face complications (i.e. distance)?

    How much would this cost and how complex? I hate being with my 26400 modem connections (get about 2.8KB/sec) on a 56K modem. Telecommuting is impossible! :(

    Thank you in advance for replies.

    A: Yes

    Q: Where can I download it
    A: There will be an announcement as to the availablity and the sites for
    downloading

    Q: Is this "Netscape 6" just another Communicator
    A: No, it is a totally new application

    Q: Can I see what it looks like now
    A: Yes, it is based on the Mozilla Builds
    http://www.mozilla.org
    http://www.mozillazine.org

    Q: Will Communicator still be available
    A: Yes, there will be continuing maintenance releases for the time being

    Q: How long will the new Netscape be in "beta"

    various feedback links and bug report form links, etc.

    Q: Will it be a "kick-butt" application

    A: Because we have been running the Mozilla builds for quite some time
    and we can see the potential in this new offering

    Q: Can I post a reply to this article with more questions
    A: Please don't as there are several places on the web to get more info
    and we need to keep THIS group uncluttered so that we can reply to
    Communicator related issues. THANKS

    Q: In your opinion what is the "neatest" feature in Netscape 6
    A: Well, I can't divulge any 'features' in NS 6 but I can tell you that
    the Mozilla Build has one. "Accept images that come from the originating
    server only"

    Q: Any other features that are "neat"
    A: In Mozilla you can configure more than one POP account without having
    to create more profiles

    Q: Have there been any delays in shipping the NS 6 Beta
    A: Not that I know of, still on schedule, stay tuned

    Q: It's being reported that the release will be April 5th, is that true
    A: Could be ...

    Q: You mentioned that it will lack some features, which ones
    A: Can't say, but this is only BETA1 and a lot of future features will
    be disabled for now

    Q: If these so-called "features" are FEATURES then why are they DISABLED!!!!
    A: Simply because they are still in various stages of development

    Q: When will these disabled features be AVAILABLE
    A: As soon as the module owner (developer) has debugged all the code and
    it works

    Q: Can I get excited or do I have to chill out
    A: BOTH !!

  21. Does it make it harder for disabled people? on The IT Labor Shortage · · Score: 1

    I am one of the people who has multiple physical disabilities (i.e. can't talk clearly, cannot drive a vehicle, etc.). I can do computers very well.

    Is it me or do employers get worried about people like me? Also, I don't get paid very well (35K) and it took me almost a year to find my first full-time job as a Web developer (now, I am a SQA tester for Web stuff). I am talking about salary jobs with fringe benefits, not contract work. Currently, I have been working for a commercial real estate company in testing and doing Web development since December 1998.

    Anyone else who is in similiar situation like mine? Thank you in advance for replies. :)
