I think that's a cool idea. (BTW, I posted the parent to your post... forgot to login.) One other thing that bugs me is not only the speed of opening a new page, but how long it takes me to be able to do a Ctrl-L to go to a new location in that page. Grrr.
I'm new to the OSS scene so if someone could help me out, it would be much appreciated. I'm using windows right now (ugh) and am wondering if anyone knows how to automate downloading and installing the nightly builds of Phoenix. If I can't, will I lose preferences by just unzipping the newest build into my existing folder? Thanks.
I had heard so many stories of public servants sitting around their desks doing nothing - not my cup of tea... No two hour lunches and half hour coffee breaks here.
And this explains why you are posting on Slashdot in the middle of the day.
I recently purchased both of the books (if anyone else interested is reading this, they're available together for a discount on Amazon.com.) I have no experience with MySQL, PHP or anything similar to them. Which book would you recommend reading first for someone who doesn't know anything about what's inside either of the books yet?
It's a daemon, not a devil. It's quite different. There's nothing bad about daemons whatsoever. A daemon (in the way FreeBSD uses it) is not the common definition of demon most go by but "a supernatural being of Greek mythology intermediate between gods and men." From the FreeBSD Handbook, "Daemons were characters in Greek mythology; neither good or evil, they were little attendant spirits that, by and large, did useful things for mankind. Much like the web servers and mail servers of today do useful things. This is why the BSD mascot has, for a long time, been the cheerful looking daemon with sneakers and a pitchfork."
And they can't sell a CD for that price/track? I'd be more than happy to purchase some CDs for $12 instead of the 18 or so they are now.
Until CD prices reach something reasonable and everyone stops going against file sharing and restricting my use of where/when/on what I can play things, I'm not buying. I use to only buy a few CDs a year just because I didn't know too much about different artists. Then came file sharing and I have tons of CDs I want to buy, but I will not at that price and with file sharing going down the drain.
I keep forgetting to look at every ad in my magazines. Sometimes I just get forgetful and flip to the 20th page where the articles start. Since I made a contract with road & track to read all those ads, I better not skip them. Who wants to go to jail for such a minor thing, especially when I'm so obviously in the wrong? Do any of you contract abiding citizens have tips to help me out? Please don't look down on me for this fault of mine, I am trying to overcome this evil habit!
I am running the Google Toolbar that displays the PageRank of every page you go to. The first result for a search on "scientology" is scientology's website and the second is xenu.net. However, the PageRank of the scientology site is 6/10 and xenu.net is 7/10. Am I missing something important here, or is there something fishy going on?
The video will be broadcast four hours after re-entry, not two. "The film will be broadcast within about two hours of the plane's landing and the landing will be about two hours after Mir's fall to earth."
While all of these things on here look quite fun, and I've even seen an old Russian submarine someone posted, nothing can quite beet one of U.S. Submarines luxury models.
They've been making manned submersibles for exploration and tourist subs for several years now. But as people have been getting wealthier, and megayachts just aren't cutting it anymore, luxury submarines are coming into popularity. US Submarines makes a 118' luxury submarine (http://www.ussubs.com/Luxur y_f older/lux.seattle.html) capable of trans-Atlantic crossings, can stay submerged (without moving) for up to 20 days and can dive to 1000 feet. The interior is nothing less of what you would expect aboard any luxury yacht. It has three staterooms, a dining area, forward lounge, a pilot's station, sauna, more staterooms, galley, and a crew mess.
Now, for those of us (myself included) who just don't think that's enough, they also make a 216' model with more than 5,000 square feet of living space. Capable of everything listed above, this supersub travels at 16 knots on the surface (it looks like any ordinary yacht up top) and when the waves become a bit unsuitable for your tastes, just dive! (http://www.ussubs.com/Luxur y_f older/lux.phoenix.html).
How much for this dream machine? Only a cool $78 million.
Paul Allen reportedly ordered a smaller 30' sub from the company to be carried aboard his megayacht.
It's disgusting to think you would need a heatsink that heavy, especially since it needs 4 supports. Luckily, people still make exceptions. It's just another reason to use a processor from a different company, or switch to a mac;)
Over in Europe where a gallon of gas costs ~$4.00, it's no wonder many people invest in diesel cars. The trend stopped in the US many years ago because they produced a lot of exhaust, and while they had great MPG, they were slow, lumbering beasts that took forever to get moving. Fortunately, much of that has changed. Filters are now standard on exhausts and that thick black smoke no longer comes out the rear of diesel cars. Most are only a bit slower than the same car with a more standard engine.
BMW produces a fine 3 serioes diesel that gets somewhere aroudn 40 MPG, but it is unavailable in the United States. I think it's a shame. In a recent issue of a British, all BMW car magazine, they drove the 330d around for a while and said there wasn't another BMW they would rather have than this. It's 0-60 time was only milliseconds bellow the standard 330 and it got more than twice the amount of MPG, all for the same price!
VW produces a Europe only car that gets somewhere around 80 MPG. It performs better than the hybrid cars coming out and it's all diesel. There's no reason to switch to something that isn't quite here yet (hybrid/electric) until we've really looked into and gotten everything out of diesel cars we can.
There isn't anything I want more than a diesel car, but a truck is pretty much all I can do in the US. If you ask me, it's sad.
I will be a senior in high school this next year. I've seen my school strugle with tecnology because no one really knows what's going on or what they're doing. This happens at nearly every school. It's too expensive to hire someone who knows what they're doing to work at the school, and no one is going to when they can get better paying jobs with stock options somewhere else. Schools need so very much people to come in and do so many things. Teachers, students and staff need to be taught how to use the technology. They need help setting it up. No one knows how to configure a firewall to protect the school's computers, no one knows how to select the right webserver (nevermind even knowing how to set it up and keep it running.) School don't understand the concept of maintenance. They don't know to keep their computers in shape. They need help setting up networks. They need help with everything. This goes on every single day in every single school on this earth. If you really, really, really want to make a difference and provide someone service, go to you nearby school. Elementary, middle or high school. It doesn't matter. They all need it and they need it now. Whether you know how to program, setup a network or webserver or just know how to keep some machines running in top shape, spend a little time. It may not seem like much to you, but coming from the other side, it's something huge.
I went to several of the sites listed on top9, and did the same thing I always do to get out of those sites. I never saw them as that much of a problem, but they still get on your nerves at times.
Anyway, just click the back button and hold it down. You will get a list of the past websites you have been at and just skip the most recent one. This would, of course, be the one which keeps sending you forward. If you use IE, it's even easier. There is a small button with an arrow pointed downards next to the back button. Click this and follow the same directions as before.
About a year ago, there was an article in Wired about Nokia and cell phones in Finland. I'm no expert on Finland, but the article made it seem like everyone was "texting" a ton (although I assume they still actually talk.) It told about students who would get together after school in huge groups and play cops and robbers type games throughout the streets using their cell phones to send short email type messages to eachother. So, from what I know, I would have to disagree with Timothy's statement, at least the "in contrast part." I don't have a clue to the actual extent of "texting" in either of these two countries though. Just a bit of info.
That base car (a Brabus) will give you more orgasmic bliss than a Viper will ever come close to. Believe it or not, but Brabus takes those Mercedes and, as Road and Track put it, "[Brabus doesn't] merely tweak cars, they appear to rebuild them." I doubt you'll find that sedan with any less than ~450 bhp. They build V12s with up to 599 bhp and have had three of their automobiles appointed "The Fastest Four-Door Sedan in the World," "The Fastest Saloon in the World" (more commonly known as a station wagon) and "The Fastest Off Road Car in the World" by Guinness Book of Records. Not only do they have awesome power and go upwards of 205 mph (remember, that's a four door, street legal sedan), they have all the amenities you could want and a smooth ride. I guarantee it would give you a much better orgasm driving one of these than a Viper.
Being a ~$300,000 car, it's made for someone who can afford to pay someone to drive them around. The electronics are all mostly in the back seat and are designed for the passengers. The driver doesn't have anything special. He's there to drive.

Since I spend 3+ hours a day on the computer working and playing, I figured that it should be comfortable.
3 hours? I thought this was someone who actually had a purpose for building the chair.
