here's an easy system for learning a different language. Go to a place in your country where people speak only that language. The embarasment and need to know will make you learn the language. Droning words like an idiot will do nothing but make you stupider.
That's always bothered me about ESL programs and people *trying* to learn a different language by going to school and hanging out with a bunch of kids that speak the same foreign language as them. Guess what... to learn a language you HAVE to use it ALL the time.
yeah, that's the tough part. Googling for the installation steps will give you a choice of step by step instructions. However, as with some other things, there's a certain amount of random magic involved in setting it up. I really can't give you a good source. I just used google and a compilation of other people's instructions, problems and solutions
hm, interesting. I'd mod you as interesting. But I think you don't give enough credit to the people out there. We're all familiar with how certain companies by being so big take over a product and change its name to their brand name. I wonder though, if the people of the world realize there are other ways to do PowerPoint than with PowerPoint. That would be a cool OpenOffice ad campaign:
Yes, there is a way. Yes, it's free. Yes, it's all yours.
It's times like this that I wish I could mod the parent +1 "Super Funny" and then the parent would have a 6 - Funny rating and would explode and make the front page of every news station and everyone in the world would laugh really really hard. PowerPoint... Open Source... hahahahaha. Goooooooo investors!!!
Dude, so I'm listening to this record. NICE JOB you guys. It's good stuff. As soon as I'm not completely broke I'll be running over to your site and cutting you a 10 dollar check. Musicians out there, if you're good you should have no reason not to do this. Also, if any of you would like a website to start releasing your recors together, I'd be glad to work on something like that.
Oh shit! It doesn't? Cause we just clustered a Sql Server for our clients on Windows 2003 boxes. Boy, I'd hate to see the look on their face when I tell them that what we actually set up doesn't exist.
FYI. I've been clustering Windows boxes and Sql Servers since 2000. Yes, it can be done, no it's not the prettiest thing in the world but neither are any other clusters. At my university, they set up a 256 node Windows cluster. Tell them it can't be done.
why 300 dollars? Nokia's Tablet is supposed to debut for about the same price. It has a 10 GB 3.5 inch hard drive? Where do they get that? 2 dollars at a local garage sale? Wtf... for 300 dollars I can set up a blazing file server, internet station, whatever you want, just not an overpriced monitorless "mobile" green thing.
"The idea is simple. It's an education project, not a laptop project. If we can make education better--particularly primary and secondary schools--it will be a better world."
My question is, how does a laptop help education? I live in the U.S. and I have yet to own my own computer. I was a Computer Science major at an Ivy League university and I am now working as a computer consultant. My schools provided small labs where I could do any computer work needed and my parents had computers that I could use. I was schooled in mathematics, algorithms, data structures, logic, the arts, chemistry, physics, biology, history, language and others. None of these required the use of any computers. I'm only 23 years old. Why do we need laptops for children again?
What we really need is paper displays. Cheap, reusable ways to give kids 80 books so they can read. The fundamental problem with learning from a laptop is that you get used to looking up information and you don't gather that basic set of skills that is so crucial, such as math, logic, and grammar. Again, kids here in "first world" countries don't have laptops in schools, not by far. They don't even have books in many cases. WTF are we doing "helping" other countries give laptops to the kids. I'd say lets give them libraries and internet access in their homes, not screw up their education by allowing them to IM each other and play flash games while in lecture.
read the summary a bit more careful. He said the installation of SAP. I would say this is SAP's issue, but it does add to the problems that Linux faces. One of them is better interoperability with products such as SAP. If the big name companies start releasing easy to install reliable software for Linux, I think a lot more people would use it (think all the games and everything Adobe makes).
dude, that's the whole point. They can't crack that password, it's complex and it has non dictionary words and symbols. In practice, I actually use different symbols for different things. Like I might use & for banks instead of $. In any case, that little card that the parent showed, if someone cracks one thing it'd be SUPER easy with a dictionary attack to crack literally everything he has.
lol, not only does slashdot have dupe stories but now people are dupe posting too!!
I saw this the first time you said it, and I'll dupe my answer as well:
you don't need to get that complicated. Just come up with a jibberish word like shuntalize and pick a symbol like $ and then all your passwords can be like:
I don't get how you can censor the internet. How do you censor pictures with hidden messages, flash games that you have to get to level 3 before it gives you your email, encrypted text, etc. I'd be glad to put up a website that feeds an encrypted uncensored version of cnn or something like that to china.
Can someone explain why this isn't possible? Am I that naive?
hehe, well if you follow the T42p ThinkPad you would see that they had just that in mind. It has a FireGL2 128 MB graphics card in there. If there's a laptop out there with a better card, I have yet to see it.
so was mine. Also, the star could actually be travelling at whatever speed it wants to travel at. It pop into my living room based on certain physics theories going around, and I don't even have a living room.
I have no problem with what you said. In fact, I totally agree. But your signature... is wrong. It's like... that's obviously what Isaac meant. He, you, or I could stand on the shoulders of giants at any time we choose. If you're standing on the shoulders of idiots it means you did it to yourself.
DUDE!!! holy shit. As you probably know, this discovery actually happened a while ago in time (cause of the time it took the light to travel). So the star could be flinging itself at us AS WE SPEAK. It could be __cking halfway here ALREADY!!!
Man, you are one lucky dude. Where do you work that you get both a ThinkPad and to install Linux on it. I've got the shit end of this stick cause I'm stuck with a Dell in a microsoft shop, lol. Are you guys hiring?
The T42p is the professional version of the T42 and it features the unbelievable 128MB FireGL graphics card along with a 9 cell battery and a few extra security features.
Are you able to use the hard drive park feature from Linux? Are you able to take advantage of IBM's rapid restore functionality?
I totally respect Apple's approach as well. I own an iPod (nano kicks ASS) and love the simplicity and power of the click wheel. I love the way it looks as well and I can see why people buy them.
Apple produces high quality products. However, many of the things they did with their laptops are copied from IBM. The magnesium frame, hard drive drop protection, and the cooling architecture. I think apple notebooks look better than ThinkPads, because frankly ThinkPads are gross. But ThinkPads are gross for a reason and that transcends grossness to make them beautiful. Kinda like why an Acura Legend is beautiful even though it's kind of ugly. That car is "as depedable as the sunrise" and if it was up to me, I'd be sailing off into the sunset on an 1995 Acura Legend with an IBM T42p laptop in the backseat and my baby riding shotgun : )
whereas that's a nice color and everything, what's inside is what matters. I've always really respected IBM because contrary to what everyone else did, they always stuck with quality of design. They never had the fastest processors. They kept the insides simple, only what you need and no more. Now Lenovo is adding all sorts of connectors, buttons, shortcuts, changing the keyboards, basically fucking everything up. I just hope I can raise enough money to get an IBM T42p before they're not made by IBM any more. The T series is the best laptop that has and will ever be made. The very fact that IBM saw it as unprofitable is indicative of its supreme quality.
No Lenovo, bad move. Instead of distancing yourself from IBM you should spend the 5 years you have been granted in worship of the IBM design, understanding every little piece and reasoning that went into every corner and design. Only when you fully understand their genius, then can you try to duplicate and move the products in a worthy direction. Otherwise, you're going to drive the whole thing into the ground. Dell and HP already have you beat on the "do-it-all" laptops. You're never going to win there. The only thing you have is quality. Once you ruin that, you're fucked. And from your new buttons and architecture changes, it looks like you like getting fucked.
Dude, the issue is always about money. What you're explaining is just a more complicated reason as to why it is about money and how it is about money. It's kind of a tautoloty that something is about money. I mean, we all need money to survive in society to buy food. I think if you're trying to say "it's all about money" with a negative conotation you would say "it's all about greed". In this case, it is all about greed, as Mr. Jobs himself points out.
