I got to read the article before it was open for comments. See the little subscriber * up there? I wrote that post a good 15 minutes before I was able to post it.
It only costs a couple bucks a month, too. It's *definitely* worth it.
I am also looking for input from the Slashdot readership: what other free, clean desktop software do you regularly use that Windows users should know about?
Remember to put a piece of metal silverware into each of of your glasses before you pour your glögg in. If you forget, they'll all crack from the sudden heat.
And don't forget to rerun lilo afterwards. ; )
Friends don't let friends "make menuconfig" drunk.
Actually, blowing up an astroid would make the problem much worse. Instead of one rock, there would be a bunch of them. We'd have better luck either moving the astroid or abandoning Earth.
Who knows? I'm more worried about the astroids we don't know about.
Their website explains...To return your bike, take it to the nearest major crossing within the core area and lock it to a fixed object, e.g., a traffic sign or a bicycle stand but not, please, on a traffic light.
One of the many criticisms of Internet Explorer is that customers are fooled into downloading spyware or adware on to their computers. This is indeed a legitimate problem, and one of the ways you can reduce the risks of getting unwanted software on your machine is to only accept digitally signed software from vendors that you trust.
Hello? Microsoft? 99% of the stuff on the Internet is unsigned. Downloading software from DePaul University's FireFox mirror doesn't scare me.
What scares me are those freaking awful dialog boxes that IE allows. The ones that say "You MUST click okay to use this site!" or "Do you want to set CrappyAds.ru to be your homepage?".
And even if I press no, I *still* get spyware. Why? IE Sucks.
After I finally got rid of my beloved CoolSearchWeb installations, I installed FireFox for good. I've been spyware free ever since, and I download a lot of unsigned data. No IE, no spyware.
I've actually only installed 1 so far. It's going to take a lot of work to get the others installed.
What is there to question? It took 8 hours so I could use Safari. The other discs should be quicker and more than worth the trouble. Especially the development tools.
Besides, I want to get my money's worth and fill up my 4GB image file!
The difference is that P2P isn't likely to negatively affect any specific person's quality of life. Unless you get sued by the RIAA or MPAA, it will almost certainly *improve* your life.
On the other hand, if RFID is abused, our privacy is history.
On the whole, I'm pretty impressed with RFID. The last place I worked made us use ID cards to enter the building, and it work very well.
My biggest gripe with RFID is the way my local public library uses it. They used to "demagnitize" books to check them out. Now every book has a small chip attached to the front. This works great, except they never bothered to demagnitize the books when they switched.
Now I get stopped every time I go in and out of my school's libraries. They have to search my backpack, because I keep the new, unmagnitized RFID books in there and I keep setting off the alarm.

Whoa! Easy on the liquor!
Everyone is so critical...

Yeah, I noticed that. I was planning on just writing "Linux", but I threw Firefox in without checking.
Oh, well. : (

Firefox (and Linux!).

April 13th, 2029 is a Friday!
Ouch.
And yet they have blogs.
It looks like it's going to cost around $250USD, according to Froogle, anyway.
Actually, I don't ride a bike at all. It rains here.
Hard.
Until you realize it's a different currency, and it starts looking bad again. 3.60 euros is 4.81 dollars.
That's easily $50 or $60 a day! By then, you could have bought the bike.

This would not work in America.

Microsoft is never going to get it.
That's not offtopic, that's just funny...
A bank of computers listened to as much Christmas music as they could handle

It took so long because it kept locking up after a couple hours.
I suspect it would run better from my Linux partition.

I was thinking exactly the same thing.
It took me 8 hours to get just 1 of the 4 OSX discs installed on my PC....
Are those in American or Canadian dollars? 30CAD is only 24.39USD.
$24USD sounds more in line with what US based VoIP companies like Lingo charge.
Actually, I hadn't thought of that. Oh, well...
Amazon.com has the first six pages on their website.

Talk about annoying.
