Seeing that image which is a TINY fraction (perhaps too small to even be considered a fraction) of the universe makes me wonder how some people think there can't be any other life in the universe... We just can't communicate with it because of distance/delay concerns.

I think that now there is so little (excluding read-only optical media) of the "true" ROM (stuff that can never be rewritten). Now, just about all "ROM" (technically, EEPROM) can be flashed (rewritten) for the purpose of updating (or others...). So now the term "ROM" is synonymous with firmware. So, custom ROM=custom firmware. Or in the case of emulators, ROM is the image required for the emulator to ... emulate.

I dunno, my wifi has worked perfectly since 10.3... on 2 different laptops and 1 dektop... all three had different chip makers (Atheros, Intel, Broadcom).

There's already a sudo with a GUI (in Linux w/KDE): kdesu I'm not sure about GNOME, but I would think it has something similar Honestly, I hate when M$ tries to patent trivial shit. It's like saying: "I'm going to go patent J-PB-J sandwich, because I used jelly twice!".

We're actually working on one at [I'll omit company name]. The only problem is that the browser the users will be using will be IE6 (not by our choice)... It's a pain in the ass coding for that thing! Naturally, our app still runs well on all browsers, but IE6 was just a pain to code for!! :(

I wonder what would happen if something hit it... I can't imagine it would be very sturdy... What if some angry jackass just kicks it? Or what if I spill my coffee on it?

If he put that much effort into actually working hard in school, he wouldn't have this problem...
