Arad, where the guy is from is a historical hungarian town which now belongs to Romania.
Get your geography and history straight before posting such information. Straight from Wikipedia:
The municipality of Arad is home to 183,939 inhabitants, the ethnic breakdown of the city is as follows:
* Romanian: 142,968 (82.72%)
* Hungarian: 22,503 (13.02%)
* [...]
Arad was mentioned in documents for the first time in the 11th century. The Mongol invasion of the Kingdom of Hungary in 1241 showed that defensive fortifications were needed and in the second half of the 13th century stone fortresses at Soimos, Siria and Dezna were built. The Ottoman Empire conquered the region from Hungary in 1551 and kept it until the Peace of Karlowitz of 1699. After 1699, the city was ruled by the Habsburg Monarchy. According to 1720 data, the population of the city was composed of 177 Romanian families, 162 Serbian and 35 Hungarian.
I'm sick of people proclaiming that fluid-all-width-taking desings are unusable... just resize your browser window and shut up!!!
I can also say your comment is pretty unreadable since it expands on all available width if I follow your logic.
I guess this is the way it should have been written:
You mean the same "respected
usability professionals"
that publish on websites
for which other people feel
the need to publish an
Opera user Javascript
(like Greasemonkey for
Firefox) to fix the readability?
For a while I was also able to dial a phone manually too, by flicking the hang up thing at the appropriate frequencies.
Well, when I was a lot younger I "worked" in a bar on a summer. The owner had the phone rotary disk blocked and only unlocked it while he was in the area... in the rest of the time I was doing calls by flicking the hang. The funniest thing is that in the end he became suspicious due to high bill and asked for dialed no list from the phone company... lucky for me most of the times I would call his home number in order to talk to his daughter. He never suspected anyhing:)
konqueror suports that too... just try typing "imdb moon" or "php readfile" or "cpan bleach" or "gg nothing to see here, move along"... not to mention you can define your own
Uh, yeah, because under Ceausescu all these Romanian computer owners (with their free communications with the rest of the world) used their luxurious lifestyles for the betterment of the less fortunate...
You must be crazy to belive that 15 years ago there were more computer owners in Romania than in a square mile of LA or NY. And this shit about romanian phisers... that's highly exagerated
It never ceases to amaze me that people try and figure out what job they should look for AFTER they've done their years of schooling.
Personally, I always looked at school as a means to an end... I want this kind of a job, so I'll take this in school.
Bulls eye!!! I felt the same way when I finished school, in fact I hadn't finished yet (I had a few more exams which I skipped). Then at the last regular exam there I was chating with a few colleagues. I was like "let's go for a beer or two", "we have a party tonight". They didn't seem to be too happy even if they finished all the exams (and with very nice grades by the way)... so I asked them what's the problem... The answer was something along the lines of "So we finnished the school... now what???"
"So we finnished the school... now what???" ??? I remained puzzled... I mean they seem all the time to be people who are learning what they like, what they wanted. I don't understand how can you ask that kind of question after 4 years of college + 5 years of university. I mean why waste 9 years of your life in order to ask in the end "what do I do now???".
If you got into school thinking you can change the world... go change it! If you wanted to was to learn... you did it! Go apply what you have learned. If all you wanted was to have a degree... now you have it. If you feel you can't do that or you aren't interested anymore in that why did you lost your time finnishing it?
The thing is that the inertia was pretty much the thing that choosed a lot of our paths... who was then unsure about what he should do... well now studies for PHD or remained as a teacher in the university, the ones that worked during school, they are still working, changing jobs, doing shit and for the rest, I must admit there are a few which I don't know about anymore.
As for me... I always wanted to have a house^H^H^H^Hbarge, wake in the morning^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hevening, drink my coffee^H^H^H^Hwine and start working^H^H^H^Hpainting nudes... Until I can do that, well... I do what I can and what I'm good at... and what I learned.
At any time during school if I would have felt that I can do anything better than what I was into, or I would like working in other field and I could do that... well I would have done it... (I fancied about me being a bartender for a while... but after a few experiments my friends convinced me I sucked at that:) ).
I thought those numbers were exagerated until I looked at the browser statistics for the sites I currently handle.
None of this sites are geek, nerd or even IT related and FF is responsible for 7-10% of all traffic in the last few months.
and the Firefox name may already be taken in the UK and Germany

I got a map of Europe, used the locations of the capital cities as surrogate coordinates, computed the distance matrix, and reweighted the score from the Eurovision website to adjust for this.
It doesn't matter so much because not the distances are important...
It's not like 75% of the countries gave maximum points to a country which capital is under 100 miles or 200 miles... over 75% countries gave maximum points to neighbours... and may I ask from which countries got UK for example maximum points? Ex-colonies...
And also what it does make a difference is the number of foreign residents... I mean... c'mon I only have to name few countries gave maximum points for the romanian song: Spain, Israel... (there's a huge romanian comunity in each of these)...
Another predictible result was Germany giving maximum points to Turkey... the hell last time when a turkish soccer team played in Germany... there were more resident turks then germans on the stadium...
Let's take Andorra now: 10points to France, 12 to Spain... c'mon there are ony 70,787 of them... maybe 10% watched the show... and from these 10% only 5% actually voted? That's roughly 350 people so... you can win with only 20 votes there!!! Hell... if only the embassy personel calls you're still a winner!!!
Why does Malta, Andorra or any other small country weight as much as let's say UK, Germany, France, Russia etc?
This contest is clearly not gonna be won by the best song...
Funny note: The only country which managed to screw up the results announcement (they had to start over 3 times) was... Ukraine. The host country. Now just as a remainder this is the same contry elections had to be repeated due to proven fraud. It becomes a pattern
Standard commercial systems only cool by 1-5 C. He's able to achieve at 10-15 C temperature reduction.
This is bulshit!!! This solution only cools down the PCB (that's where the sensor is located)... not the drive as a whole... The rest of the drive might even not get cooler with even 1C degree.
It's like saying I can achieve a bigger speed for a car that the one supplied by his engine / tuning by throwing it from the top of the cliff.
Testing of Linux might be easier if it contained some automated features for sending crash reports back to a central database.
What good if you have a crash reporter when's no one left to run it because the kernel's freezed? This is like writting your will when you're already dead.
I thought the whole Fedora project WAS mass testing of "cutting edge technology for Linux".
You mean for RedHat AS/ES/WS, don't you? Repeat after me Linux != RedHat, Linux != Fedora, Linux != Mandr{ake|iva}, Linux != SuSE... Linux = kernel and that's all.
Also, maybe slowing down the kernel releases a bit might help. I know that I do an emerge world on my Gentoo boxes about once a week, and it seems like there's a new kernel release every week. If there's a need for more testing, perhaps a little less time releasing and more time testing is in order.
That's BS... there might be an new version of the kernel ebuild realeased that often... that's not the same as the kernel itself... you can see that it uses the same kernel tarball each time only it can add / remove a different set of patches.
