to have a window (or door) icon on the opposite side of the screen from the trash.
You drag the volume over the window and the window opens. Release it, and the volume turns into a flying saucer (or a bird) and disappears out the window while the disk ejects (assuming an ejection mechanism).
Of course, if you have this (redundant, really) special icon for the eject function, the question comes up of what happens when your five year-old daughter drops your volume on the trash icon?
And, while everyone's stomache does the flip-flop, I'll point out that some Mac users in the good-old days would use resedit to make a duplicate of their trash and change the duplicate to an open window. Some just changed the trash icon to the open window and left it at that.
If the particular CC company is used by porn sites to process payments, that might just be the reason!
Unless the merchant site itself hosts pr0n, I see no reason for blocking it for porn reasons since presumably they'd be unable to get there from the blocked porn site, or back from there to the pr0n site.
It's more likely that the thing blocked the site to keep the kids from sneaking the cards out of mommys purse (or some numbers off IRC) and going on a shopping spree.
As I understand it, the best way to clear a field of land mines is to clear the people out and start exploding the mines. Add a metal detector to the truck and a transmitter to relay the signal back, and this might be a good tool for clearing some kinds of land mines.
When it's time to plant, when it's time to harvest, you work 80 hours in four days.
After that, you may work 80 hours in a week, but it ain't the same job. Some of that is setting your line in the stream and readin' the backs o' yer eyelids. Some of it is fussin' with the harness or the plow blade (these days, on your back under the tractor, daydreaming). Some of it's teachin' yer kid how to plant (or fish, or drive the combine).
The problem with 80 hours a week in the office is that their ain't none of that in the office, especially the family. Fishing in the internet has limited use.

Two quite obvious things: GPL Solaris kernel and as much of userland as possible; ditto Java.
MIT/BSD style license would be too far of a jump. They may eventually be able to figure out how to go full free, but they need more control than that for the time being.
If they aim at GPL, they should at least be able to produce something as compatible as the Apple license. If they don't aim at GPL, they get what they've got already.
Dual licensing to protect customers who just don't get it, or who have real need, is of course assumed.
The reason both have to be opened up is the lesson that so few people get -- MS moved into domination by (virtual) commoditization. They convinced a lot of people that they could actually build on top of what MS sold. (That turns out to have been smoke and mirrors, but MS was originally a virtual bazaar.)
If you want a good customer base for a product designed to let the customer build his own solutions, the customer has to be able to see that possibility. MS rode the trend into the ground, but the trend towards commoditization was a given. Nature abhors a vacuum.
So, they move Solaris to a true GPL compatible license for general distribution in a couple of months. They make Java more accessible while they work out the IP details, then move it to GPL, too.
(If their agreement with Kodak won't let them, then they bite the bullet, go to the uspto, give them the evidence of prior art, and tell Kodak to keep the gift. If their agreement with Micro$topped gets in the way, they're dead meat.)
The only thing that will keep java ahead of.net and Gates's research fund is opening it up.
Other than that, yeah, becoming a mini-IBM is good strategy -- focus on services.
Pat,
Talk this over with your docs, but if you have been/are going to be taking huge amounts of antibiotics, you need to keep your digestive system flora up with good flora. Candida albicans is just one of the things that can go on a rampage when the good flora are down.
Live culture yogghurt will definitely help, the bifidus and acidophilous varieties are best.
It used to be possible to get combined caprillic acid/acidophilous supplements, but the FDA has mucked that one up. I don't know if anything else is available in the states these days. (We have something her in Japan that my wife gives the kids when they've been taking antibiotics long enough to get loose bowel, but I have not researched it.)
Hopefully, your docs will know of something.
Oh, you say you've already given up smoking, that's important. What about alcohol, coffee, coke? Illegal junk? Refined sugars? Any of that is going to make it harder for your body to respond properly to medical treatment. Hopefully, you'll get the full lecture on that from your docs, if necessary, so I'll shut up.
Hang in there.
Fine. Context tells me what he meant, but it's still wrong.
If it communicated, it served the purpose. How can it be wrong? Your parser issued a warning, but it parsed and meaning transferred. It may not be correct according to some methodology, but it is not wrong.
I was just joking around with him, anyway.
:)
BTW, based on the reasoning, I don't agree with the rule that "cannot" must be written as one word, unless "may not" is also written that way, but it's still the rule.
Whose rule?
Where I grew up, "cannot" and "can not" were interchangeable. Teacher said use two words in her class, but assured us that several years down the road we could even use contractions. 8-)
A top C++ programmer will become a top Perl, VB, Eiffel, Ada, Python, COBOL(!!) programmer, given a bit of training on language features and documentation standards, as the same design patterns will work relatively independent of language syntax.
CoBOL? Did you say CoBOL?
I beg your pardon. Design patterns don't work with CoBOL.
Well, maybe some of the new object CoBOLs, I haven't looked at them. Is anyone actually using those? I mean, it seems like moving from the old CoBOL to the object oriented CoBOLs is going to take a major re-write anyway,...
10. Must possess perfect spelling and grammar. You can not do anything wrong.
Cannot is one word. Laugh, it's funny because it's ironic.
Cannot is indeed one word. Can not is two. It might be considered ambiguous, except that the semantic of being allowed to not do anything wrong is a bit ludicrous.
The one linked to from netcraft?
A lot of people seem to be reacting as if this is allowal of a direct transfer of the domain, but it's a transfer of the registrar.
Near as I can tell when I read the announcement linked to on ICANN, what this does is require your registrar to quit dragging their heals if you ask them to move your domain to another registrar.
The registrars will of course be up in arms about this?
I suppose Netcraft is trying to point out that this could be used as a sort of external DOS -- someone forges requests that keep your domain bouncing from registrar to registrar.
I thought that was what the guys who wrote the US Constitution said when they were done?
Are we just saying we mean it for real this time, or are we just fooling ourselves?
Eternal vigilence is the only real way to keep the politics bottom-up.
It does help when the leaf nodes in the socio-political processes have as much access to the technology that controls information as the root nodes, of course.
I wonder how it is that we moderns have access to that technology when so much of history is full of examples of political and social systems where it was assumed that the masses must be strictly guarded to access to it.

I'd mod the parent up, but I'm still invisible.
Redundant? I was the first one to post it!!!!

Penicillin or any antibiotic should _always_ be taken with (natural, live culture) yogghurt.
I'm thinking a CRT _is_ a sort of an amplifier

The Model II was an almost properly designed Z-80 with an almost proper bus that allowed a 68K CPU board to be plugged into it.
If you plugged the 68K board in, it became the II/16.
No, he meant 68K, but he also meant Model II/16, or he meant Z-80.

Heh.
