Yeah, the AP Exam is a national standard exam that gives high school students credit for taking a college course. It's not a test that the teacher gives, and most teachers have a 60%ish passage rate if they're good. 100% is just insane.
My AP World History teacher last year recommended it over regular news. This was no ordinary teacher, he got a 100% passage rate on an extremely difficult test for his class.
Actually, if you follow the Firefox development one of the RCs (usually RC3, I'll give you that) does end up being the final version, albeit rebranded.
If you're wanting to run gaim at the same time as Gimp 2.3.x/2.4 when it comes out, download portable gaim and copy over pretty much everything that's not in gaim by default (the dlls basically, and three or four folders.) This will allow gaim to continue to use gtk+ 2.6.10a while the installed version might be different.
Wow, this was just a test to see how flawed the/. moderating system is. I saw that there was only one post and posted something extremely generic, and got modded interesting, while a reply to my post actually provides good information and doesn't get modded at all. If only the earliest posts get moderated (or rather, they get moderated at a much higher rate than subsequent posts, because there's nothing else to moderate) a lot of stuff is getting lost just because the post is too late to be seen. And I know it's tough to look through all the posts and find one that deserves moderation. I bet the person who modded me up was probably just using his last point before it expired, not really caring where the point went as long as he used it. I admit, I've done this myself many times but it sure is annoying. Feel free to mod my original post overrated, or something, this system needs to be fixed. On the other hand, mob rule like at di^H^H that other site seems to promote groupthink and short, witty, and often sarcastic responses that add nothing to the discussion. So I guess/. type moderation works, but should show the latest posts at the top to encourage moderators to read those posts instead of just modding older posts up.
Great way to replace an XBox360 or PS3, put a computer with one of these in your living room and use it as a console/htpc type thing. But, does it run linux*?
*have good drivers?
So far I haven't found a suitable replacement for Dreamweaver or Photoshop. If it weren't for those 2 I could, and would, switch tomorrow. If they could be purchased for use on Linux I'd buy them and switch.
For Photoshop, you can use The GIMP. http://gimp.org./ There's also a version called GIMPShop that aims to make GIMP familiar to Photoshop users. I never used Photoshop, so I wouldn't know how they compare but from what I've heard GIMP is as good or better than PS.
I'm pretty sure I heard that in Vista, the default option for shut down will actually be some sort of standby/hibernate hybrid, and that shutdown is somewhat hidden or something so most users won't even be experiencing this anyway. Hopefully, they will also get some way to not require reboots for updates, or else that feature is moot.
You need to use adblock plus, adblock was discontinued a long time ago. Also, for any extension, you can try to force it to be compatible and most extensions will work that way. Use nightly tester tools or MR Tech Local Install (one or the other, MRTLI includes NTT). By the way, the theme in the latest branch builds is much better.
The R520 and up GPUs were designed for general purpose computing as well as normal graphics card ops. I read it somewhere before they came out. Might be the 48 pixel shaders, I don't know.
That's what I was going to say. This got modded funny, but if I had points right now I'd mod it insightful because that's really true. Who's to say that 5 years from now, when we're all on 64-bit PCs, it won't be because UT2K12 or HL4 require 64-bit, but that watching the latest HD movie requires it. Because when you think about it, most people aren't gamers, and most gamers aren't hardcore enough to care or know the difference between 32- and 64-bit. On the other hand, most people watch movies. This is a flawed argument, I know, since as someone else posted it seems more likely now that HD formats will die, although I hope that only DRM-laden, proprietary HD formats die because at some point 8.5GB dual-layer DVDs aren't going to cut it for the latest and greatest FPS or MMORPG.
I didn't mean that righties (which I am one) are stupid or something, I just was stating that it seemed like all the lefties I know are highly skilled at academics and/or creativity and art. So maybe the gene for left-handedness is related to the gene for creativity?
In case you haven't read the dozen odd posts above you stating this fact, Link has always been left handed. I never noticed this myself, but now I realize that it's true. Now I'm worried about us righties... on a side note, somehow it seems that left handed people, or at least the ones I know, tend to be smarter and/or more creative or artistic than average. Is there any reason for this?
Not only that, but their zip folders implementation blows compared to any 3rd party app. It's neat that they open in Explorer, but when you try to unzip any file of some significant size (>20MB or so) it takes upwards of half an hour to unzip. I've never actually timed it, but it seems that way. WinRar or 7-Zip are both orders of magnitude faster.

Safari and Konqueror yes, Opera no. Opera is its own browser.
Thunderbird can easily check mail from multiple accounts. I'm sure it can send mail from multiple accounts too, but I haven't tried.

How ironic... post screaming DUPE gets modded redundant.
That's no moon... Seriously, it looks like a (bad) replica of a star destroyer or something.

I wasn't sure if you deserved it so I changed my mind and went on my way. The guide says try to mod up, not down, or something to that effect.
oops, sorry i modded u troll on accident. posting to revert that mod...

Now I feel like a karma whore, this really should have been modded off-topic... gah /.!
I do that, but not everyone does.

http://happypenguin.org/ has a lot of open source games, mostly indie and mostly linux, although some have windows ports.

Very good point. Without Compaq, we would be nowhere today, but I guess without IBM there would be nothing to reverse engineer.
