I like yahoo because it returns relevant results, and isn't censored like google. MS's search has been a joke, ever since it started trying (though, they did try hard, for them...even searching their own KB database is easier/more relevant using google or yahoo). Yahoo's web search results, images, video I find are precisely what I am looking for without obtrusive advertising. I don't really like google, because its policy of Do No Evil (TM) has gone by the wayside in recent years. MS is more about showing obnoxious ads, archaic results, and letting companies pay them than actually providing accurate search results.
I guess like everything else these days, I have to go with the lesser of the standing evils. Google, I hate you, but, I must hate you less than Microsoft + Yahoo if I'm willing to switch.
I know I'm a bit late to the Marvell bashing party, but I had to say something.
A couple years ago when Asus first started puting Marvell network chips on their boards, every single one that I saw (I or friends bought) had a faulty NIC. The symptom? It was slow...paaaaainfully slow...definitely not 1Gbps. More in the range of 10Kbps. I called up suppliers and Asus directly...they all said to RMA the motherboard, no DOA replacement. Joy. So, spend a stupid amount of time to remove the board, live without a running PC for 2 weeks (!) and pay $30 or more for shipping for a $20 solution (put in an add-on NIC).
No one wanted to act in good faith...I guess I'm the stupid one, I still buy their crap.
I was being a little facetious, but really, there's no strong argument for any particular layout because it all depends on application and user familiarity.
I've been using computers for 2 decades now, and find the OLD 101-key layout to be most efficient. I too despise the cutesy diamond layout for the cursor keys...I think that the numlock button should be abolished, having the number pad be dedicated (with parentheses and equals button included nearby). The number pad isn't just for accountants. I have always found the number pad very useful since I first used a computer. Number entry is far less efficient across the top of home row.
Whoever had the infantile idea of F-Lock needs another hole in their head. That's the most useless thing I've ever seen on a keyboard.
Quit juggling the Home/End/Insert/Delete/PgUp/PgDn buttons, I don't need a logoff or sleep button, Word/Excel buttons never get used...by anyone...
Or maybe instead of trying to move the unmovable thing, do the easier thing and just move the freely movable mouse to the left side of the keyboard....no?
No kidding! Didn't the guy have preview button? Or did he preview it, then decide it was too much work to fix it...as smart as he is, he didn't know that the " key works way better than [blockquote]? It's also less typing.
Indeed. The absence of Latin certainly has a real effect on a general understanding and comprehension of English. Is it a problem? Though I agree with you, it's relative, really. Perhaps for those who are disinterested in such things, it is not. Strictly speaking, the primary purpose of a language language is the (accurate) communication of ideas and information. As long as that occurs, it is effective. I believe one of the greatest strengths of language is that it's contextual and quite often subject to interpretation. This gives a listener the ability to decide the correct/intended interpretation (fascinatingly, my observation is that misinterpretations occur only rarely) regardless of actual grammatical correctness.
Email me if you'd like to continue the discussion.
So, are they all full price? As in, one has to pay upwards of $150 just to play the entire thing? Does an online subscription cost anything?
Hmmm...I wonder for what else they could charge. Oh! I know, want the whole tech tree unlocked? Extra! Pay per use super weapons! Woohoo...I'm good at this.
Yeah, it's too bad they decided to do this. If they wanted to reduce piracy they could put code in the game that checks other LAN client's CD key...I think this is more about forcing people to buy a subscription AND controlling the lifespan of the game. We all know what happens when activation and proprietary hosting servers go dark...
At least it'll have local campaign play, right? You can still play that forever and ever.
Yeah, for sure. It's more than that, I believe. I'm sure you, as much as I, understand the technology and interaction involved...which is why I liken it to language...sometimes people not so fluent might miss the small bits (har har), which can change meaning (function) catastrophically.
Parent is 100% accurate. This is integral to binary file transmission via FTP. Transfer mode (binary or text) may be set to text on the server by default. Without the proper setting, things won't transfer properly.
Why not very quickly? It'll go as fast as the connections will permit, will it not?
Set up a tracker on one of the servers, and have a client on both. (This may not even be required, but I'm not sure)
You also have the much more interesting property of the technology which is to automatically retransmit any faulty data, and 100% guarantee the resultant file will be bitwise identical. Furthermore, you can have the clients automatically add any.torrent files found in a specified (remote, in your situation) directory.
It probably won't be difficult to make it work for your requirements.
Honestly, I would expect not. It would be nice, but, I'm sure it would be read-only, to maintain the integrity of the OS's files. Ya know, so viruses couldn't infect "known good" original files.
Ok, so I think you proved my point. Who should be punished? Children or adults? If children pick it up so easily, it must be apparently acceptable. This is a much bigger social problem.
This is true: I have not met a single person in my entire life that holds telling the truth as an inexorable element of being a proper human.
Because I know this, I act accordingly. I don't necessarily believe or trust every word that comes out of everyone's mouth. As such, if such an inflammatory accusation were to be laid against another person, I would consider the possibility that it not entirely accurate. Other people should too.
Wow...you obviously don't have a child...or love one very much.
Kids are kids, and they will always find a way to piss off adults. But that's not the issue here. Kids do bad things, but they also do good things. Stripping away any sense of self and protection from their psyche is probably the worst possible thing that they can experience...what do you think the guards do with prisoners?
These are children!
You want the other one to get an ass-whoopin? Why? The accuser probably just thought it'd be a funny joke, or maybe intended for this girl to be hauled off to the principal's office...but do you really think "invasive strip search" was expected? I doubt it.
The only people that deserve an ass-whoopin are the ones that decided it was a good idea to strip a little girl of her clothes and her rights. It wasn't about illegal drugs...they were OTC, nothing even potentially wrong about them. Even if the girl *did* have illegal drugs in her underwear, that's one thing that anyone not in jail has the right to protect, without being punished for asserting that right. This was about personal degradation. Do you think they would have done that to the mayor's daughter? The police chief's daughter? No? (this isn't directed at you, the parent poster...it's directed at anyone on the planet that thinks this search was ok)...Then why is it ok for them to do it to her?
And yes, absolutely...children should know if they hide stuff in their underpants or bra, the school won't find them.
God. Yes, for pedants, even if there's a knife, gun or a nuclear weapon. If a kid has any of these in their underwear, there is a bigger problem...the parents (or legal guardian)...fix THAT problem first.
What would it have taken for the school to call the parents, and have the parents perform the search. AND...if the parents said no, then that's where it should stop.
Let's get back to sanity folks. Parents, teachers, police alike...This shit is out of control.
I bet all of his passwords are blank, so it doesn't matter to him.
If people have so much difficulty entering their passwords, they should fix themselves, not the computers they are using. I've been entering passwords for 20 years, and masking doesn't bother me in the slightest. Actually, I prefer Linux style...like another poster said: "No mask is a good mask"...except null.

Logitech still puts out a decent "unfuckedwith" keyboard
Or maybe instead of trying to move the unmovable thing, do the easier thing and just move the freely movable mouse to the left side of the keyboard....no?
Not all of them., unfortunately. This one is mostly mouse. You can ask my carpel tunnel to explain.
No. They want to plaster the news with the title "uploader ordered to pay $outrageous_amount"...that's all.
So, if the ruling stands, will she have to hand her house over, all of her possessions, and stop eating?
No...
It's all about show...they might get a few thousand dollars, but the big prize is being able to say they successfully sued someone.
Other than that, very intelligent.

Indeed. Rsync is a very robust tool. Here's a page on how to use rsync, too.
'hash' is also a nice feature...

Maybe I just don't fly locally enough (at all), because I thought the invasive searches are just for cross-border stuff...my mistake.
Make it look like Swiss cheese...should eventually collapse on itself. Use a magnet and vacuum to catch the filings.
Hey...it's not rocket science...oh wait.
What made you think they would post pictures of the girl, anyway? Have some respect.
Easy...because when one shows intent to traverse a border, your rights evaporate.

don't worry too much, I think it'll take him a while to find a set with the name "wjousts" engraved on them.
I bet all his passwords are blank.
