As a dumbass who forgot to log in, the above statement is mine. Please mod accordingly :P

Maybe now Slashdot will institute an Altar of Literacy that must be prayed at and passed before commenting ;)

My HTC Evo comes with a wi-fi hotspot app built in that allows I believe 4 clients. It may not be the fastest but it works.

+1000 to this. The only beer I've ever been able to stomach at all is super watered down "free beer with admission" at some night clubs, and even then I have to grit my teeth. After years I've finally acquired taste for coffee with TONS of sugar and cream (replaced my caffeine addiction to Coca-Cola so I view it as a win) and hard cider.

As noted above, it doesn't even approach the same functionality so I don't count it. Hyperbolic rhetoric still pumped. Flame on!

+1000 insightful on this.

I will not use Chrome or Opera (or IE for that matter) simply for their lack of anything even remotely approaching NoScript.

I rest my case.

...is it bad that seeing a goatse makes me wax nostalgic?

Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Even in open source.

No, because RAW formats vary and are proprietary. If you want high quality uploads, I would suggest .tiff or PNG-48 as a starting point. Flickr auto-converts all uploads to a set of common usable .jpg's but also keeps the original with a Pro account.

Someone please mod this up. Fantastic value for the money, also has built-in online editing tools, grouping/sets, blah blah blah etc. I probably have on the order of 5-7K+ pics on Flickr these days, works fantastic for what I need and easy linking.

Amen to that, good sir. Paper for books and CD's/LP's for music for me. I do NOT like "purchasing" something only to find out later I merely purchased a non-refundable revocable license to media that can disappear at the drop of a hat.

If I buy it I own it, and the only way I know of enforcing that right now is sticking with physical media.

This is why the places were the data REALLY matters do use AS/400 / iSeries / Systemi to this day, despite IBM doing their goddamn best to kill it off.

Sorry, on the systems I use I type "ls" or "ll" to see a list of files. What is the "dir" you speak of?

I LOVE OS/400! It takes some getting used to when you're coming from a UNIX or windows background, but it's insanely powerful and stable in the hands of experts.

Yeah I'm a fanboy...
