    Sounds like Evangelion.

    I'd like to see that, actually.

    I believe the GP is referring to the abundance of nitrogen gas in the atmosphere - nearly 80%. It's not a question of how to survive without it, but rather how to avoid it.

  5. Re:$349.99? on First Look at RHEL 5 - From the New, More Open Red Hat · · Score: 1

    You will want to look at CentOS for a (nearly?) exact free version. Alternatively, Fedora Core is a similar flavor that is intended for end-users.

  6. Re:No basic types on Developing Java Software · · Score: 1

    Furthermore, for anyone wanting to know the differences between .NET and Java or wanting some information on how the CLR (.NET VM) works, I found this comparison to be very helpful.

    Forgive me, but I don't know much about the different flavors of JVMs, since I learned on Sun's and haven't touched any others (unless you count running Azureus on GCJ). Can you give some recommendations about the different JVMs (and the name of the one you chose), or maybe link a comparison chart?

    Does this mean you can post screenshots?

  9. Re:Doubtful on Make Linux "Gorgeous," Says Ubuntu Leader · · Score: 1

    Don't be so sure. OS X demands Apple's hardware, which means buying a whole new system, when you could get a shiny new Linux install without shelling out.

    I fail to see the distinction.

    Mildly off-topic:

    The real-life junk mail that you get (the kind that says bulk rate) is actually subsidized by postage stamp revenue.

  13. Re:Damn it on Firefox 2.0 RC2 Review · · Score: 1

    I've been using v2 at work since beta 2, and it's working out very nicely for me. I tinkered with the version number manually in several extensions to make them work with the beta / release candidate before I remembered about Nightly Tester Tools. Anyway, none of the extensions I use were actually broken, they just didn't realize they were compatible with 2.0 yet.

    Give it some time, the extension developers have already started bumping the version numbers, and 2.0 hasn't been officially released yet. Or if you're impatient, use Nightly Tester Tools.

  14. Re:still has UI consistency/key command problems on Firefox 2.0 RC2 Review · · Score: 1

    Are you sure it's Firefox that's acting up? I have a similar problem sometimes, but it's always one of two causes:

    1) My Dell laptop keyboard, or the external one that shipped with it, is very finicky and has to be hit *just right*
    2) My computer has spontaneously switched over to Dvorak again. (I am going to kill my roommate for activating Dvorak in the first place)

    Don't blind yourself to the alternatives! All the camouflage has to do is block the visible spectrum. Hopefully I won't blunder because I didn't RTFA, but you could still use ultraviolet or infrared for cameras.

    And as Paris Hilton taught us, infrared still shows you all the raunchy detail ;-)

  20. Re:How good is it on Google Introduces Page Creator · · Score: 1

    Did Drew write his own CSS on that page? Because it looks to me like a bunch of stuff Google threw in to handle a lot of different situations, and it's inlined. And it makes up roughly 90% of the source code... that's a lot of wasted bandwidth.

  21. Re:The only solution ... on Stubborn Spyware Removal Advice? · · Score: 1

    AFAIK, you can't format the system partition while XP is running, since that would hose the operating system, so you pretty much have to boot it from a floppy. If you want to format some other partition, I believe cmd>format can handle it, if there aren't any locked files on the partition, but you'll forgive me if I don't test it on my laptop.

    However, once you format, you'll have to install an OS anyway (unless you want to live off of live CDs), so why not just start up the installer anyway?

    It seems to me as if you are getting a little bent out of shape over something so small.

    Would you agree that I have made a valid sentence (even if you disagree with my statement)? The "it" I used at the beginning of that sentence is the same as the "it" you took issue with. This is a common English grammatical construction akin to the passive voice, and the "it" herein is typically understood to mean "the situation", "the current course of events", or something similar.

    This is a fairly common construction, and I'm surprised you haven't run into it before. I'm guessing that you have, and simply didn't realize it. I'd love to point you to an article on it, but the wikipedia one is very unhelpful for this particular usage, and google didn't give me anything either, so you're stuck with just my explanation.
