FTFY

One, two, five.
Three sir!
Three!

They are in the minority. I bet they don't even play cow clicker.

Maybe a bathrobe, and don't forget your towel.

That reminded me of the guy with an ultra-light airplane dressed up to sorta look a bit like a goose. I can't remember if he was working with geese that for some reason or other didn't know what their migration route should be or if he was just studying an existing flock.

What's scary is that people are starting to believe that a manufacturer is perfectly within their rights to limit what you can and cannot do with your stuff after you've bought it from them.

I walked into a conversation about PS3 jail-breaking and asked how a hammer manufacturer can limit my use of the hammer I purchased. Should I have to purchase a framing hammer, a roofing hammer, a birdhouse hammer, etc.? I completely gave up on the idea of ever having a serious conversation with those coworkers when the consensus was yes, the hammer manufacturer could tell me that I can only build birdhouses with some specific hammer that I purchased and if I want to build a porch I would have to buy at least two other hammers.

Sweet! Let's get there ASAP! I want my Moon Hat! How many derbies would it take to fill that cave? Surely there's enough to go around!

Submitter wants files to be sent to the trash and thus still be available for easy restoration, but not right there under the user's nose tempting them to empty the trash.

An icon which doesn't change? That's not what he's describing.

Exactly. I also didn't say anything about an unchanging icon.

He's saying get rid of the icon on the desktop, but keep the function of keeping "deleted" files. That way an overly tidy user doesn't just empty the trash all the time and the help desk can help them get back "deleted" files when they need to.

He is saying that when users see a full trash can they want to empty it. There is no point to having a trash can if it is emptied as soon as something is put in it. His solution was to remove the icon from the desktop. This way users can still delete files and either be unaware of the trash can's existence, or at least be able to more easily ignore it, since it is not on the desktop "right under their nose" as I said.

Other than the last few words I completely agree with your original post. He doesn't want an incinerator that would destroy files immediately. He wants it to work exactly as it does, but without the icon on the desktop reminding anal users that there is trash waiting to be taken out.

What the submitter wants is a garbage chute that the users can throw files in and not be bothered by a trash can that they can see. (Actually a garbage chute for each user... not like one shared in an apartment building.)

Maybe you're right and only a few overly anal people compulsively empty their trash cans, or maybe the submitter is right and this affects most computer users.

Either way, I just wanted to point out that he's not asking for an incinerator: which would destroy files immediately. Submitter wants files to be sent to the trash and thus still be available for easy restoration, but not right there under the user's nose tempting them to empty the trash.

IANAL... not legal advice... etc.

(patent) Even if the game rules of Tetris were patented, that would have expired by now.

(copyright) I remember Scrabble clones having problems because they copied the game board too closely, used the same layout, colors or fonts or something. This might be a problem here... maybe not.

(trademark) The strongest argument they (Tetris IP owners) probably have is that the name is too similar and refers to a video game.

So, pull it down, rename it and put it back up.

How about secure your wireless network and nobody except those you specifically allow will be able to use it?

Wait, what?

"I see play episode as:" followed by a combo box with three different formats to choose from: flv, ogg and mp4.

Also, off to the right is "Files and Links." I expanded that and right clicked on the ogg links and am downloading about 5 videos now. I plan to watch them with totem.

I read it as "three and three tenths," didn't know there was another way to read that. Thanks for the tip.

Also on that page: 1 + 3 + 5 + ... + 15 + 17 = 3.3^3
wtf?
if I do 1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15+17 I get 81 which is 3^4

Deliver the one time pad in person then suddenly any old means of communication are secure as long as your OTP lasts.

I just turn off password authentication and use RSA keys.

I do see some 2-3 thousand "Bye bye"s a day though... on my personal computer connected to a cable modem.
