There Deffinatly at each other's throat, verizon the phone co. Dug up my yard to put in some new fiberoptic lines, then cut Comcast cable, so then Comcast dug up my yard, now I think my phone lines nicked, because I'm not getting as good of a DSL signal as before, especialy when it rains. But Verizon wont come to take a look. Its been way to much trouble.

10) Message boards : Cafe SETI : FIREFOX 1.0 Release ready for Download (Message 44934) Posted 9 Nov 2004 by Mixxster Post: FireFox 1.0 has now been released! If anyone reading this post does not have Firefox yet, then I really recommend it. It Is a great web browser that many people are now switching to. No complicated setup is needed, if you can get to the Internet in Internet Explorer, then chances are that you can use Firefox. You do not need to sign up for anything and it's free! Firefox is very easy to install on Windows, Linux or Mac. It can import your settings and bookmarks from Internet Explorer, Netscape, or Mozilla. Firefox is safer, and more reliable than Internet Explorer. It's also much easier to use. Almost everyone who has tried this web browser loves it. Don’t you think it’s time you tried it?

I could not configure mandrake to work on the internet, so I'm using fedora. I have no Idea how to install BOINC. I have downloaded the linux version, and extrated it till I got: boinc_4.13_i686-pc-linux-gnu then I clicked on it and an error poped up and said this: "There is no action associated with "boinc_4.13_i686-pc-linux-gnu". You can configure GNOME to associate applications with file types. Do you want to associate an application with this file type now?" So does anyone know what to do?
