in Science and Industry, a mod for Half Life, there was a bug where you could type something in the console, then kill yourself, then you could move your corpse around the map as if you were still alive.
i'm sure it's fixed by now, but god was it fun. i would often use it to permanently block others inside rooms (the physics still acted like you were 6 feet tall, so you could block a doorway).
User A: how do i kick someone out of the channel? User B: type/leave [their name] *** User A has left the room (User B) *** *** User C has left the room (User B) *** *** User D has left the room (User B) *** *** User E has left the room (User B) *** *** User F has left the room (User B) *** User B::(
most of those web-based rich text editors you see use the same core functionality that's built into the browser. it's sometimes called "design mode" because to initialized it you have to set the designMode property of an iframe element to "on".
there's a set of commands that you can execute on the iframe after you've set this property. one of them is "indent". when handled properly, this should create a new div element with some kind of margin or padding on the left. well in IE executing that command actually creates a blockquote element.
completely wrong, right? yes, but convenient. in our CMS we need to be able to create a blockquote, and have no use for indentation, and i cant find any other way to do it in IE. fortunately, in better browsers blockquote is handled with the command "formatblock: blockquote".
this has been my personal stance on apple for years: i dont have anything major against them, but i'm pretty much going to ignore them until i can use their software without having to buy their hardware.
i personally have no urge to buy their hardware, i build my own thank you, but i wouldnt mind giving OS X a go. in fact, i would absolutely love it if after apple did this OS X took majority desktop market share. if the top desktop was unix-based, it would make multi-platform compatibility so much easier.
but this is more than just one specific case. even if paypal insituted a never-use-email policy, it wouldnt stop the phishing. even if every financial institution used this policy, it would take a while before the public really understood that they should never trust an email from a financial institution. in the time it would take, we could probably develop a new SMTP that would stop the phishing and the spamming.
yes, it's going to be very hard to completely replace SMTP, but the longer we wait the harder it's going to be, and the problem is not going away.
In order to get warranty service, she was told, she would have to remove Linux and reinstall the original OS.
so you dont actually lose your warranty, it's just not honored until you reinstall windows. sounds like the tech support people just dont want to have to do their over-the-phone support unless they're working with windows. they should at least let her send the notebook in and swap out the hard drive with a windows-partioned one and test it.
normally, i'm sure they're not infrared based. otherwise they wouldnt look like just green-tinted black and white videos, they'd look funky as hell, like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_camera
there are infrared cameras, but they're not the same as a night-vision camera.
I don't remember where, but at some point I read somebody, probably a sys-admin, saying that if you really want security then what you need to do is disable all the things you do not need.
not sure who said it first, but this month's Linux Journal attributed this quote to Marcus Ranum:
that which is not expressly permitted is forbidden
seconded. i hadnt really been paying attention to this thing, i just assumed it was a DVR, but it actually looks like it's just a media streaming device. even if it was a DVR, you're not gonna fit jack on 40GB. the 200GB in my DVR didnt last me long, even with compression. i plan on getting a 500 or 750, so i can leave the shows as mpeg2.
i'm the same, but i still consider myself closer to a segmentor. if i think of something at home, i'll usually just make a mental note or write a post-it and deal with it when i get to work the next morning.
i'd be okay with dialing into work from home, under my own free will, but i wouldnt be very happy if someone from work called me out of the blue and i was expected to immediately transition into work mode.
there isnt much of an alternative. the "rich text" editors you mightve seen use functionality called designMode that's built into most modern browsers, but there's no standard so the same editor works differently in different browsers. and the worst part is, none of the browsers' implementations do it well.
his point is that bands that tour make a lot of money on concerts. whichever brings in more cach -- concerts or albums -- varies, depending on how big they are, what record label they're with, and how often they play.
and, yes, i was in a (very small) band, and the only significant cash we got was from the one gig that paid ($400). compared to what we paid to produce them, we got very little for the CDs; seeing as how we didnt sell all of them, we may have actually had a net loss.

i'm sorry, you'll have to speak up. i cant hear you over all that clutter.
when you're done moving icons around, come get me. i'll be the one getting work done.
s'right, bitch.
not until it starts to look more like gnome and less like an explosion in a widget factory.
OHHHHHH
flame on.

the samsung is a 1.8 inch drive and the A-DATA is a 2.5 inch.
is there even such thing as seek time with a solid state disk? there isnt really any seeking going on.
my thoughts exactly.
until ISPs offer much more bandwidth, the only place i see this being useful is on a LAN.
no, but you can purchase quite a few by selling it.
seriously, who cares? i can glue diamonds to a Corvair and call it a million dollar car, but it's still a POS.

it is? why? is it showing the same image to both eyes?
i thought of an EVGA 8800 gts.

same.
plus, this makes it much more difficult to cram for an exam the night before.
drivers, not drives. sry.
dont look at the red wine though. red things make you stupid.
