Me, that is one of the very FEW things I miss from windows. if it really bugs you that much under windows just turn your double click speed down under the mouse prefs. Why should I have to hit F2 to rename a file when i can just slow double click it and not have to move my left hand from the homerow?
P.S. if anyone knows how to get this functionality under KDE 3.5.x lemme know
As it is, they might have to show that 100% of their revenue goes back into the site, and never into anyone's pocket, and keep doing so, in order to avoid criminal prosecution. IANAL, etc. bleh blah.
would it really be that hard to say that whatever money isn't used for server / bandwidth just goes back to "administrative costs"? I mean obviously anything that they buy with any money made from that site can be tied in to the need to run the site... cars - need to get to meetings / server access points etc, computers - need to access the servers somehow, massages - work related stress... and so on and on and on.
Any half decent lawyer worth his salt can twist ANYTHING they bought around enough to say it was for the business.
When charters email servers went poof.... and it took them 2.5 months or so to get new ones ( and they had NO backup servers)
I should have made them pay for the college classes i missed, since the college would not change email addresses... only use the one you registered with.
Depends on what you mean by lightweight and what you actually use. Realistically seamonkey suite actually uses LESS space than having 1. a separate email client 2. a separate IRC client 3. a separate HTML editor and 4. a separate browser installed.
It seems more geared towards laptops. I don't know about you but i almost never use suspend to RAM. Either I am working on my laptop or traveling and not able to use it ( driving). When not in use I always power it down to save battery power. Since Sleep / suspend to RAM still uses power that would mean less time I actually can work.
Seems like it should be, the article said that it only has a 33 HP engine, and that the car only weighs 600ish KGs
so 33HP for 1300 pounds it won't be fast but if it is like any of the old light toyota / nissan cars it will get probably ~40-45 MPG, BETTER than many ~600 CC bikes.
Let's say you have a technical job that involves nothing more than talking to an occasional tecnical partner of your employer. When the person you're talking to finds something outrageous about you, do you think it isn't going to get around? Worse, let's say they are a rabid fundamentalist and find out about your Wiccan postings on the web. Sure, it isn't any of their business but that hardly stops anyone anymore. If you can't communicate with the people you're supposed to communicate with as part of your job, it is going to come back to you. Yes, it is a round-about path up through your company's partner and back down, but it still happens.
If your company fires you for posting about your religious beliefs that just means you get an early retirement bonus... since that is HIGHLY illegal.
sorry to say but not that many people are like YOU. My computer has.8 TB storage and I need more. I don't pirate movies ( I have a service for converting home movies to professional menu based DVDs ) just try storing even 10 minutes of uncompressed video on your 20 GB drive and tell me how it goes:-|
not to mention the latest games taking anywhere from 2-10 GB to install, on top of VISTAs what... 15 GB recomended ( don't use windows so I really don't know, but I think I remember hearing 15 for vista itself).
Hmmmm I can't wait for one of these to start talking to the Slashtrolls... not only would the chat logs probably be hilarious but the poor phishers picture gallery would be full of goatse guy.
Meanwhile I haven't had a problem with Seagate or Maxtor or WD... just goes to show ya that there can be bad batches of drives in ANY manufacturers line of drives.
did the GP's drives all come from the same batch by any chance?
More importantly, if a company ( like a coffee shop ) "closes" their WIFI with 64 bit WEP and publicly posts the key is that a "closed network" or would it still be considered "open" since anyone could still easily connect?
13-15$? where did you get that from? At least here in wisconsin i have seen the ads they sometimes put out in the papers, highest I saw was $10.50... I just laughed when I read that.
It may not be likely, but it is possible, perhaps he was laying on his desk for a nap... or leaning against a filing cabinet? not to mention fluid dynamics and pneumatics can do some very interesting thing with the force of a blast. This combined with possible poor nutrition / calcium deficiency could allow the breaks in the spine.
Not to mention, while mythbusters may be interesting they are _NOT_ very scientific, they are a TV show and they miss quite a few possibilities. That said much of what they do test is well researched, yet they can't test all of the possibilities. Plus who is to say that some of the myths that they have "busted" could have been freak accidents, like some of the things on Ripley's believe it or not?
How about this, I ain't in the IT field, it's a hobby for me. I'm a biker and a truck driver. I _DARE_ you to even try and touch my phone. I would eat you for breakfast. If you are nice and repent I might not break your face.
Hmmm sounds like my views are just opposite of yours. Who is right? Interesting question, no?
Well DUH, of course ubuntu will have issues, especially when upgrading to gutsy. Gutsy has a totally different desktop effects setup. compiz-fusion is a whole different beast compared to beryl / compiz. Not to mention that you said you had "new" hardware, there may or may not be support for it yet, and if there is support it may be buggy since ubuntus' releases are based off of debian Sid/unstable snapshots.
What I'm struck by in this article is a lack of the specific detail in her complaints. Was it too hard to install? Did it crash? Were the drivers lacking? Was there something baffling about the new interface to her?
I can't speak for her, but when I tried vista out for a few days there was at least ONE major stick in the eye. In winXP you can share the root of a drive through SMB, in Vista you can set the root as the share but it will not map it correctly resulting in error messages on the other networked machines. Sure I could make a folder and share it, but why add one more dir to my path to what I want? Not to mention the setup in control panel is even less intuitive that previous versions of windows... and the high system requirements... and DRM crap thats built in. Also as for the stability, even with the VESA drivers and no sound card a fresh install gave me a classic "This system has recovered from a serious error" message on the first boot. That was on a clean install.
Perhaps when SP1 comes out for vista it will get more stable, just like with winXP.

There are worse thing we drivers do in our trucks... how do you think lot lizards ( truckstop whores) migrate???
I'm on gutsy right now, using the "iceape" suite.

Netscape / Mozilla suite can be added to the rest... maybe someone got really adventurous and visited with lynx?
also unless the server is set up to count iceweasel as firefox that puts almost all Debian / Ubuntu based distros into "other"

So you are saying it is better to be microwaved on "low" than the "high" setting?
At least on "high" you would probably not feel it as much.
BladeRunner was about? Hmmmmmm reminds me I should watch that movie again...
Are they free ( paid shipping of course)??
Offsite backup.
Why yes , your honor, the only reason these files were on the network was so I had distributed offsite backups of my files.....

And you look even dumber for taking something completely out of context.
