Does anyone else wonder why the links of some blurbs are where they are? For example, why put the link on "visual test" when that link points to an article about the test, not the actual test... it really annoys me.
Oh and before you ask I do usualy have problems with my faeces.
I recommend phoning you local Sun office and ask for a demo & quote for SunRays. I used to work for Sun and all the desks had SunRays instead of(/aswell as) workstations, and I really liked them, even being a techie - although I did have a workstation to develop on also. Recently they also support Windows as the Server/Desktop if that's what you really want (personally, due to cost, I'd go for Solaris or Linux with a Windows like window manager - at least *Nix fans can change their own WM then aswell). I haven't tried all the possible thin client options, but SunRays will be damn hard to beat! Read the datasheet here.
On a general note, I'd recommend looking at all the options in detail and compare initial cost, TCO and usabilitiy before deciding.
"1. Start regedit 2. go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\i8042prt\Parameters 3. Create a new DWORD value and name it CrashOnCtrlScroll 4. Right click on this newly created value and click "Modify" 5. Enter 1 in the Value data field and click on OK. 6. Close regedit and reboot the computer 7. hold the right CTRL key and press "Scroll Lock" twice to see the BSOD on demand."
8. Remember to put breaks after each line or preview your message =P
Don't forget about the accident and the grounding - these didn't help much. IIRC they had to do work on the engines while it was grounded to get their airworthiness certificate back as it was possible that the 2 engines on each wing weren't protected well enough from each other during failure.
Perhaps:x wasn't implemented in the old vi versions? I'll have to check on my Solaris box when I get home.

Don't forget that you can do commands multiple times aswell, 5ia[esc] will insert 5 letter a's, 10dd will delete 10 lines, 21 [down arrow] will move down 21 lines etc etc.

...was created in vim??? Thanks - I needed cheering up!
HEY! I still use ed you insensitive clod! I find it quite useful for some shell scripts... mainly because if I use awk, sed, ed & any other editors I can find on a system in the same script it really pisses people off that only know 1 of them;P
My point is that Apple (Computer) is arguing that iTunes is not in the music industry which would be infringing on the previous agreement and would therefore be illegal (patent infringment is illegal!). Instead they're calling iTunes a "data transmission service" - i.e: "we're not dealing in music we're dealing in data". By this argument you should be able to transmit anything (illegal, copyrighted, whatever) and because you're only "transmitting data" get away with it? I agree that they wouldn't be breaking the same law, but there is still a law stopping each of the acts which could be legal using the same argument.
I want to know why they think transmitting data is not the same as selling cd's, cd's are afterall just data in a different format - Jobs himself has said it's the same in the past and yet this is not conidered to be in the music industry.
"Geoffrey Vos, QC, representing Apple Corps, had argued that call the download system just an electronic device was a "perversion" of the constraints laid down in the agreement between the two companies. He said that Mr Jobs, Apple's founder, had said that the downloading of music from the internet was exactly the same as buying an LP in the modern world."
So if I set up a service delivering illegal content, let's say naked pictures of your underage daugther, can I argue that it's just an "electronic device" and get away with it? I think not!
First off, the "essential" codecs xine has you download are only a fraction of the codecs available in the "all" packages
Xine does support the "all" package of codecs - I use it!
In addition, even if it did support all the binary DLLs, those are only a fraction of the codecs MPlayer supports. These include: qtx x264 xvid libavcodec real dshow/dmo win32 faad2 libmpeg2 liba52 mp3lib libtheora tremor libmad gif opendivx libdv amr_wb amr_nb xanim faac musepack libdts speex twolame toolame liblzo.
Try doing some research before posting... you even mention codec's which are supported by ffmpeg (e.g: libavcodec).
Perhaps you should read the other ~40 posts with the facts - I didn't wan't to make a redundant post. As an example though, Xine uses the same codecs as mplayer, in fact you download them from the mplayer site! So stating that it supports less file formats is ludicrous!
You passed him for changing default software on a random system that he knew nothing about? I'd hate to be the sys admin who has to figure out why half the scripts monitoring the system have suddenly broken! (ok - changing tar is unlikely to break anything... but in principle...) On the other hand, I'd love to have you as an interviewer!
We haven't had any problems with fruit & veg picking... well we had a few plums that needed to wait a few days to ripen, I've been happy with everything else.
I along with most of the people I know use online delivery from supermarkets in the UK. They usualy give you a two hour window for delivery but are usualy sitting outside your door for about 15 minutes before that so there's no hanging around for you. The delivery only costs about £3-£5 depending on the time of day/week and they will put all the bags in your kitchen, although they won't put it away for you. Personally for £3-£5 I have better things to do than go to the actual shop.
The only down side to it is that occasionaly you will get a complete muppet who's in charge of finding alternatives for your products if they're not in stock. For example this week my other half requested a pack of 2 steaks, they were out of stock so they replaced them with 1 organic steak of the same size and about the same price! A friend also requested a large bag of pasta and received a cucumber!!! However you can tunr down any alterations they've made when they deliver - they notify you of them at that time.

A good example of this is the Java telemetry system McLaren F1 use provided by Sun, if done right Java can fly.
