Yahoo Releases Firefox Toolbar Beta and quickly finds out that no one uses because of the already implemented search toolbar in FF. Thank you, I have enough sites reading where I'm going, without Yahoo! doing it for every site. Yes, I realize that Y! probably doesn't do that, but the features on the Y! toolbar don't appeal to me at all. I don't need Y! mail, because I use gmail, and I use Google instead of Yahoo because I hate the sponsored results. And somebody please reply and tell me whether or not they're actually putting the popup blocker in...
And with 1GB, even on a very fast HD it would need 20 seconds... Not faster
If starting up from a disk image of the RAM right after startup, there's not going to be much in memory, unless you have your computer set up to automatically start Doom 3 on startup (not quite sure why you would need that...). At the moment my xp pro computer with 256 MB of RAM is only using ~160 MB, with Firefox loaded and whatever other crap I have running. Surely there would be a way for the OS to only save the memory addresses being used, which would decrease the size drastically.
I guess it depends on what you're calling "correct" HTML. If you're going by the W3C standard, very, very few sites are up to snuff. I worked as my school's web master for a couple of years, and because I had nothing to do, I decided to bring the code up to W3C XHTML standard.
Wow.
That process of rewriting the code to standards was not only a pain in the butt, but it also broke it on IE. This was one of my many aggravations while working at that job (that and traversing the byzantine bureaucracy (cool... alliteration)). Microsoft goes off on their own weird tangents with IE and throws the standard to the wind, while Firefox sticks with it, but at the same time is choking itself because very few sites out there write to standards.
Just when you think you've heard the stupidest post ever...
But seriously, have you never learned a new skill? When you first start, yes you are slower. But as you progress and get better, it becomes easier and faster. Come on, let's turn our brains on before we go posting idiocy for the whole world to read.
Where would this world be without Dan Brown's Angels and Demons? Well, for one we wouldn't have people running around worried about terrorists blowing up Rome with an inconceivable amount of antimatter. Creating a gram of antimatter at this stage in its development would probably take close to 100 years. And 2 grams of antimatter would be enough to take out a good size chunk of the earth.
Humans like to find new territory and conquer it. We currently have exhausted the Earth's surface, except for the submerged and frozen parts. So we have to go somewhere.
How about E.B. White's The Elements of Style? That seems to be a rather definitive authority on command of the English language as far as I have seen.
On a side note, I have a friend who found a grammatical error in the book.
Correction: C# syntax has been ripped off by an open source project that tries to come as close as possible as the original cs compiler. As far as I can see, the only advantage Mono has over the original compiler is that it's Open Source and runs on *nixes.
Jarlan pointed out that it is easy to uninstall Media Player from the complete version of Windows XP if clients want to avoid it.
Yeah... maybe if you consider registry diving easy. Uninstalling Media Player is just about impossible without breaking several other programs, like IE (not that any/.'ers use it). I don't know if this guy is using a different version of windows than me, or if he thinks that removing the link from the desktop is uninstalling it, or if he's simply speaking out of his anus.
I use to spend about 75% of my co-location repair work fixing Cisco issues.
Could the reason you spent 75% of your time fixing them be because 75% or more of routers are made by Cisco or Linksys? I have no idea what the numbers are, but off the top of my head I can't think of another company that makes large network routers 'n such.
Cheap, as compared to what? Developing in Malbolge? In my experience VBScripting, at least in ASP pages, is a waste of time because the error messages are so insanely vague (Something to the tune of "ERROR, WILL ROBINSON! ERROR!")
Take it easy man... not everybody still lives in their parents house, and not everybody has all the time in the world to eat doritos and learn about CPU's.
I guess what I don't get is this: it's the same people crying wolf about Mactel harming linux who shun Linspire and Xandros anyway. I, as a hobby linuxist, would never use them for 1) you have to pay for them, and 2) I started using Linux because I wanted a challenge, not because I wanted to be treated like the average Windows user.
I think when Mac finally does make the switch, sure, maybe Cletus and Jerlene will switch over to mac because it's now cheaper than the K-Mart Blue Light Special PC (which is so cheap because it has Lindows or Linspire or whatever the crap it's called these days). But how is Linux gonna be hurt by losing the people who only use it for e-mail and web surfing and the like. Basically, linux is a hobbyist and professional scope OS, and it really has no advantage over Windows or Mac OS, or anything else for the average use of Cletus and Jerlene. That's the way linux has been since it's humble beginnings, and that's probably the way it's going to stay.
Or for those of us who don't like Konqueror because its a non-functioning piece of crap, you can always just open of "Konsole"(**shudder**) and type in your commands like a normal person.
I'm not sure if there's a product out there for Mozilla, but I know there's one for IE that I've seen called guard-IE (or something to that effect). It basically does everything that you just said you wainted. It asks every time you enter a page with cookies whether or not you would like to take it. It wouldn't surprise me in the least bit is someone out there has ripped off the idea for Firefox yet! You might google it.
Yes, mono if you are recording under the original iPod os. With iPL you can recond stereo at absurd rates (like 88.2KHz or maybe the next one up, not sure). That's one of the reason's I can't wait for iPL to support the 4G iPod. The iPod os limits it to mono at some piece-o-crap rate (like 8KHz, I think), plus you have to buy Griffin's crappy little device that sucks your battery life for around US$40.
Uh... quick to give women the priesthood? Wasn't it not until the 90's that the RLDS church gave women the priesthood, and that was when they ran out of direct male descendents of Joseph Smith?

You know, I think Spybot S&D might remove that...

Well, they do require quite a lot of cooling, don't they?
Have you ever looked at a P4 mother board? The real estate for the fan is easily double what it is on an Athlon motherboard.

links? is that like lynx? and if so, is it still text based???

That's pointy hair... not pointy head. Unless of course your boss is a conehead.

Well, let's see... it's called the iMac, what?... oh that's right, the iMac G5!
</sarcasm>
Oh! are you talking about the iPod? Check out this
