You should check out www.savewonderfalls.com. They have a nice forum there now. Also, Bryan Fuller wrote a letter that says that chances are pretty good that a cable network would pick up the show. They have postcards that you can print and mail to networks. They also have a lot of contact...
I can't read this with out a tabbed browser like firefox or mozilla. I open DIY, Interiors, and AfterHours into their own tabs (middle click). Then I go into each and open each thread that looks interesting into it's own tab. Then I read, sometimes reply, and close the thread/tab when I am done...
...Only slightly related but the electricians installed one of the pull pipes parallel to an electric wire (parallel for a span of about 6 to 7 feet). They tried to tell me that the PVC pipe would shield the data cable but I was skeptical. I verified with another electrician and others that PVC...
Kyle, I am in a similar situation. My wife and I are having our first home built right now. My house is framed and has the heating and ductwork in place at this point. There is about 2 months to go before we get to move in. I have about 500 pictures on the web of the process so far...
As has been said before the only solution is to not post your pictures publicly. You can disable right clicking and toolbars all you want but that accomplishes nothing. Just look at the source of the page (and no it is not possible to block this either, the idea makes no sense), find the URL...
First let me admit to not reading every post in this thread. Now, on to my advice. I am 24 and graduated in 2001 but could be considered as working professionally for 3 years. When I was in college I was saddened by the number of CS students that were getting their degree "because there...
I am in almost the same position. I bought my first guitar when I was 14 or 15. Once I went to college, the amount of time I spent playing rapidly declined. WHen I graduated it continued to decline. I have played for about 1 hour in the last year :frowning: Right now I am looking to sell my...
I am pretty much with Scott on this thread. I got into it when I was in 6th grade and my brother bought ...And Justice For All. That is still my favorite CD of all time. I was there opening day to buy "the black album". I was VERY disappointed by it. After Justice Metallica was a completely...
I am a regular reader of slashdot. I always read the comments for interesting headlines. You can easily filter out noise by reading only comments that have been moderated to +4 or more. Slashcode has a LOT of features. Don't forget that every slashdot reader has a journal, lists of friends...
Nacho Cheez-its (I don't think they were ever widely distributed but they were awesome) Tato-skins. These are/were potato chips with the skin on them. I know there is TGI fridays branded version of them out there still.
I was an auto only driver until just about 1 year ago. A friend taught me how to drive stick and then I bought my celica. It isn't too hard to learn but it can be frustrating when you stall the car in a busy intersection (and somewhat scary as well). It took me a while (longer than most I think)...
One note... Apache can serve up ASP pages as well using mod_asp. I am sure there are limitations but you can do it. Having administered both IIS and Apache I can give you some advice. IIS is easier to initially get setup and running, however, as soon as you want to do something the designers...
Oh, one more comment on Macs in schools. SUNY Geneseo invested in an entire lab full of dual G3 Macs. They planned on using them for intro classes as well as for distributed computing! I don't know if they ever followed through on this because I left before they even installed OS X on them. Greg
Justin, I think this really depends on the school. The university I attended (SUNY Geneseo) has a lot of Macs. The computer science department had all Macs for lower level courses and Sun workstations for higher level courses. With the Sun machines you could ssh (remote login) into the...
Jeff, Everyone is entitled to opinions and I respect yours. I don't think they had to throw out their old code base but made a wise decision to base their design on a tried and true architecture. If you want to see a code base that *should* be thrown out check out win32. If you've ever...
Andrew, OS X is very stable. Previous Mac OS version weren't based on the Darwin UNIX core. Prior to Mac OS X any application could corrupt the entire system. Now each program runs in its own address space and can't harm others. The worst that can happen if a program mis behaves is the...
Benefits of a Mac: OS X - UNIX!!!! (if you are a geek) Stable Great dependable efficient hardware Quiet due to less fans (G4s are efficient and don't pump out tons of heat like AMD or Intel chips) Disadvantages of a Mac: What Brian said : less software, price (but you get quality...
Michael, Look into fetchmail. It will fetch from many different sources (pop, imap, pop over ssl, imap over ssl, etc) and inject them into your local delivery agent. Greg
...oh why not...I'll throw in my opinion. If I had to choose I'd take win2k due to less bloat, and less annoying "features". I have to run windows at work and i choose to run win2k. That's at work where I am forced into windows (well, I could always leave my job). At home it's Linux. For...
I am lucky enough to be able to administer my own email server. Every time I fill out any form on the web I make a new email address (just an alias to me real address). If I get spam to that account I just delete the alias and the problem is mostly solved. I say mostly because the spammers still...
...because the removal is just a way to confirm that you are in fact a real human being that *read* their message.
Ask your ISP to install spamassassin (www.spamassassin.org) on their mail servers. It's a great piece of software that scans an email and attempts to figure out if it is spam...
I am not a mac user. I am a big fan of the mozilla rendering engine, gecko. The mozilla browser is bloated because they have a cross platform UI. Use mozilla on Linux, Solaris, Mac, Windows, whatever, and it looks and behaves the same. Most of the time I get to use galeon which is a simple...
