I was taught in driver's ed that when stalled on the side of the road and needing assistance, you are to open the hood and the trunklid as well as turning on the hazards. I don't know about your state, but police officers drive around on public roads and are supposed to help those in need.
In Minnesota, we also have the added benefit of "Highway Helpers." These folks drive around in bright green state-owned trucks with gasoline and various other things. They also notice people with the hood and trunk open.
Also, not everybody who can afford a car can afford a cell phone. Obviously, if this car coems to market, those unable to afford a cell phone will not be able to afford this car, but hoods that aren't openable by the user aren't a good idea in general.
The folks at Volvo who came up with this idea thought it was great, but they don't appear to realize that if you've got a hood, that doesn't mean you have to open it. You can still relocate the wiper fluid fill by the gas while leaving the hood accessable.
well, whatever the case, I'm happy to be the one person in the world for whom it works as everybody would like all of them to work. I don't know why I was chosen, but I'm not going to look that horse in the mouth.:)
Since 1.3 at least. I think 1.2 did it, too. I'm not disputing it's magic, mind you. I have no idea how they pulled it off, but it works pretty much perfectly.
That isn't Mozilla's behavior, though. I hae not told it what sites are allowed popup windows, but I do get the popups I want and none that I don't. I don't have to ad anything to a whitelist, it doesn't notify me of any blocked popups and I don't have to specify when I want to allow a popup.
Of course, it looks like the one they're doing still isn't as cool as the one in Mozilla. It appears that it'll be just like the 3rd party popup blockers where you have to train it on what to block and what not to block.
You may expect it, but I bet you never fully read a box, right? All of them, for the last several years, say that 1GB is 1000MB or that 1GB is 1,000,000,000B. The standards folks have decided this is right, so you're not going to get anywhere crying foul about this.
I officially love your company! I just bought my 6800 and have been searching for an SSH client. The best I could come up with was waptelnet.com. I could kiss you!

Mortal Operating Systems? I thought it was BSD that was dead, not Linux.
I ordered mine with 128MB for the same reason, but when I went to fiddle with mine, it was set on auto. Perhaps they changed things between June and December.
I've got one better. I was at a 50-hour trivia weekend. The second stretch I did was 24 hours in a recliner with my i8200 (still a P4m) on my lap. It didn't even get uncomfortably warm. Speedstep disabled because it was on AC and that's how I've got it set, running at 100% load the whole time (Dnet RC5 client).
You mean like how every time I go to Windows Update it tells me I want to install updates for Outlook Express, Windows Messanger and the bug fix for "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"? I don't have OE or WM installed on this machine, but it always tells me I should install the updates. If they can't use the scan for their own software and modify the list for that, what makes you think they'd be able to scan for a possible issue with software that almost no one uses?
I'm not trolling. From your description, I live much the same lifestyle. All my machines are recycled other than my notebook (which was bought with inheritance money). I just got 2 machines for free (a P166 and a dual P90) and I've got 2 machines that have evolved over the years since 1998. If I was actually poor, any money I could get from the sale of these machines would be worth the trade-offs. If I were poor, I would not have DSL because I'd be spending all my money on housing and food.
A lot of broke/not well off people have DSL, cable, cell phones, etc, but they are NOT poor. It really bugs me that you have a home, means to feed yourself AND provide for luxuries and you call yourself poor. When you're poor, you often don't have the means to pay for food or housing, let alone luxuries. I'm taking issue with your casual use of the word poor, not your lifestyle. You may as well tell me you're actually starving when you just haven't eaten in 8 hours.
If you were actually poor, you would have already sold those boxen and you wouldn't have DSL. I take issue with you saying you're poor. I currently make no money and I cannot be called poor. Resourseful or not, if you can afford to keep those specific luxuries, you aren't poor, you're just broke.

Yeah, AvP means nothing to those who have played the games, either! I don't refer to Alien Versus Predator 2 as AvP2 at all!
Marge is Margerie and Maggie is Margaret.
Their math appears to be as good as my typing. that was supposed to be a 4 at the end.
17.9 TFLOPS/ 3 TFLOPS = 7?

Hell, XP still comes with samples in the My Songs folder. Ugh, I just typed folder instead of directory.
I got mine for $150 through AT&T and they've got a $50 rebate going on now.

Nope. 350KB/s is 2.8Mb/s
The "sixpack" refers to beer, not muscle. So, yes, I would say that Joe Sixpack really has a six-pack.
If you think pi and e take forever, try i. I still haven't been able to complete an install because it keeps hanging at the password selection.
I always hated the Kernel, with his wee, beady eyes and that smug look on his face! "Oooh, you're gonna buy my chicken, oooh!"
