I know it can boot and reboot and you can import the new programming logic into the chip but what else will it do. Such as repeat what you say or read your email or google calender when you wave at it. Maybe you can wave at it with Morse Code or something to tell it your username or password for google calender Or it could be a button you press to tell it your information. I could think of some kinds of things like making the robot move its appendages or talk.

I mean a Standard, as in approved by a Standards Body such as ISO or IETF or W3C.<br /><br />As long as people use .DOC, Microsoft retains the legal potential to shut people down (especially their competitors, if the competitors became big enough for them to care about, or wealthy enough for them to want to get money from,) due to patent and threatened lawsuits. Continued use of DOC prevents migration to a true standard, which would help to prevent that potential situation.Jeff Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11675035864869123800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034230779454603134.post-43306272389011058012010-08-19T11:56:51.001-07:002010-08-19T11:56:51.001-07:00I think if you sent me that reply after I sent you...I think if you sent me that reply after I sent you a doc, I wouldn't care to send it in any other format. You don't have to upgrade Office to continue reading the formats, and most people I know always save as .doc instead of .docx in 2007 and later versionf of Word. To call it a non-standard format I think is wrong - you even say that you can read it in OpenOffice, so just do that instead of demanding the sender resend in another of your preferred formats. It is an industry standard format, like it or not.Kymhttp://marriedwithkittens.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034230779454603134.post-12133757711384152642010-08-14T20:04:58.308-07:002010-08-14T20:04:58.308-07:00Can someone post how to make compiz work with more...Can someone post how to make compiz work with more than one screen like this?

So, here's what I would propose as an improvement to your script (although I don't know how to program it in perl...)<br /><br />Your script should actually parse through the hosts file line-by-line and find the line that contains apt-cacher, replacing that line with the desired line.<br /><br />If no apt-cacher line is found, I would recommend inserting a new apt-cacher line immediately before the first blank line encountered, which in most situations, will put it in a very good place (that way it isn't mixed down in with the ipv6 entries), or if no blank line is encountered, insert a new line altogether at the end of the file.<br /><br />Also, you might write a similar tool (or maybe combined into the same tool) to patch the acng.conf, create the ubuntu_security file, and update the sources.list automatically, by handling the necessary search and replaces (but avoiding commented-out lines), which would really make this into a turn-key solution.Jeff Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11675035864869123800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034230779454603134.post-70680131696286069832010-04-27T02:02:40.169-07:002010-04-27T02:02:40.169-07:00I have been visiting various blogs for my term pap...I have been visiting various blogs for my term papers writing research.

I renamed /usr/bin/firefox to /usr/bin/firefox_bin. Then I created a new shell script at /usr/bin/firefox (do a chmod +x /usr/bin/firefox to make sure it's executable), with this inside:<BR/><BR/>#!/bin/sh<BR/>env GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/THEME_NAME/gtk-2.0/gtkrc /usr/bin/firefox_bin "$@"<BR/><BR/>(that command is all on one line)<BR/><BR/>Pick another (light) theme for the location of the gtkrc file. After this, running "firefox" will cause it to open with the different theme, which will fix the form items -- and you can let your selected firefox skin handle the rest.David W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02142702968356637562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034230779454603134.post-48303738417301494542008-10-06T18:51:00.000-07:002008-10-06T18:51:00.000-07:00that's why my ubuntu machine is still using FF2 .....that's why my ubuntu machine is still using FF2 ... it's too bad really. i keep hoping that 3.1 will give some of the flexibility and customization back to the users.Susie Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11165536000543428173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034230779454603134.post-10342679555288937542008-08-11T11:28:00.000-07:002008-08-11T11:28:00.000-07:00Thanks!
