No, some emit a really annoying whine - like old TVs do. Like a vibrating transformer whine, but really high pitched.
It's right up at the upper range of hearing, so if you have damaged hearing (age, genetics, etc) you may not be able to hear it yourself.
From what I've seen, only really cheap ones do this. Sometimes, if you drop a good one (but not hard enough to break it completely) they will whine from that point on. I'm not sure what it is in these bulbs that make the noise, but that doesn't make them any less annoying.
but for example you can install some Firefox extensions through the package manager on some Linux distros for all users, and they can't be uninstalled in Firefox by a user since they were installed as root, I'd imagine something similar is done on Windows, but you can disable the extension
This is because those package-manager extensions end up in/usr/lib, which you (as a normal user) generally have read-only access to. Extensions you install in the browser end up in ~/.mozilla, which you generally have read-write access to.
The same could be done on windows by editing the extension's ACLs to disallow modification or deletion.
That's the point. Read his post a bit more carefully.
They call the "white" utilities, who come and mark their shit. You've covered your ass. If any of the "black" utilities' stuff gets damaged, it's not your problem.
That's the thing. You have an understanding, if not a working knowledge. Logic is probably one of the most important facets of digital circuitry, once you step back from the nitty-gritty.
Yea. When I find a DVD like that, I pass it through a nifty program that strips all that garbage out. The adverts stay, but those PUO's get a swift kick in the nuts. CSS as well, because it's kind of hard to burn the disc key on recordable media.
Chu said at [...] that by lightening paved surfaces and roofs to the color of cement, it would be possible to cut carbon emissions by as much as taking all the world's cars off the roads for 11 years.
Ah, but on Windows python is not standard either. It's not so much of a stretch to download vim while you download python.
The same could be said about vim and idle on major distros - usually only a bare-bones vim is present by default (no proper syntax highlighting etc) and while one is installing vim proper, one could just as easily install Idle.
We need a remake of that game. Not like Thief 3. The originals, the Circle, etc... all put in a modern engine with the gameplay kept as close as possible to the old.

I think you mean LEDs, not LCDs, but that aside...
Mounting a diffuse white hemisphere above the spot, and making sure it's a material with a good amount of sub-surface scattering, should do the trick.

Hrm, there was an A/C post here. It's not here anymore. strange...

Do we get upset when Ubuntu includes their own Firefox extension?
Yes, I do at least. Those extensions usually don't last long.
I have two addons, and one plugin that I require. Adblock plus, Adblock plus element hiding helper, and flash.
I don't need beagle, I don't need branding, I don't need desktop "integration" - it's a damn web browser already.

Better description of rainbow tables.
No, and the first Google result would have worked.

Wow, 8cm resolution. I think I could do better with a chisel and hammer!

Stop thinking Sun. Java is now under the yoke of Oracle.
That (should) change your thinking on this matter a little.

"the word" -> "the spirit"
I have not had my caffeine yet.
But the way the site is done.... it's almost like it was done to SAY one thing but reflect another.
Corporate Overlord #35 told Underling #3586586 to say MS is better. Underling follows the letter, but not the word.
Hrm.
Even better. How does paint cut carbon emissions?

Er, WTF?

Just seemed strange to me, is all.
Both vim and Idle work on both. Why would you use exclusively for each?
... and if you were really good, you could execute this while spiraling in to someone with your weapon of choice...
And thus, Sven Coop was born.
