The only realistic use that I can think of is finally building a working version of Ed's computer from Cowboy Bebop. http://imgur.com/5SpiR

And trust me, I've had the SketchUp diagrams for 3 years, waiting for this.

I can already see this happening...

My biggest frustration when trying to sort out problems on other people's Windows boxes is the frequency with which one gets an error message which amounts to "Something went wrong, but we're not telling you what." The big mistake which the Windows developers make is hiding information from the user so even if you are capable of understanding the technical aspects of the problem, you're not allowed to see them.

Oh that's right, because Linux is so much better in this regard...

Right. Just so we're clear about this...

Democrat is to Republican as:

Careful! The answer is not always C!

nytimes not enough for you? Oh, silly me using things like facts to convince anti-ms trolls on slashdot..

He comes out. At night. And watches you sleep.

Funny, that's exactly what my cat does

I hated that shit when learning assembler on the 360, but then again they never thought JCL and didn't have any books on it, which is probably why I hated it

I have all the information I could ever need, right on my desktop

Are any of the major desktop environments adding such features?

He is aware of them and chose to remain ignorant. The most cursory Google search would have been enough - there's even videos showing how to do it.

FWIW, I just tried adding the monitor to my vanilla Xubuntu laptop. I achieved this tremendous feat by clicking System/Preferences/Display, then Detect Monitors (screenshot below). I'm so "uber-l337"...

How the hell does this sort of crap keep getting modded informative?

Yep, it's fixed.

How'd you get the screenshot? Everytime it happens to me I can't seem to input any commands! http://imgur.com/ghTAA.jpg

Google is an innovative technology company, Microsoft are a bunch of clowns with an innovative and sometimes illegal marketing strategy.

Nice joke. Google finds new ways to display ads and create half baked "free" web sites (most of the time they just buy other companies) with limited features. Google Wave is the buggiest piece of shit website that I've ever used. Microsoft creates enterprise, production ready tools that 90% of the world uses. And as much as trolls like you would like to think otherwise quite a few of them actually choose to use Microsoft products. What 'innovative' tools has google released? google talk? picasa? LOL. Wake me up when they design their own kernel or write their own ide or office suite from scratch. Oh wait, thats right. They don't need to. The found a way to make the linux 'useful-idiots' devs do their work for them so they can steal it. How "innovative".

From my perspective Google is the clown trying to mine users data to "innovate" and show ads. Hell they even started 'innovating' and inserting ads into bloody youtube videos now. Comparing Microsoft Research with Google is a bloody joke. MSR is lightyears ahead. But hey, thats the view you come to when you have a mental model that agrees with reality. Too bad you don't.

But apart from all that, Its entertaining to see anti-ms trolls. So, please don't stop! I always get a good laugh. I always imagine this guy http://imgur.com/f4orN.jpg steaming from his ears and furiously typing anti-ms FUD.

The people aren't any different. In this day and age, with all the history available to us, we still have people that joyfully vote out the rights of others. http://i.imgur.com/FDFx2.jpg At one time I would have said is that all we have to do is wait for these people to die off. But now I believe that technology has gotten past a point where it is easily understand by people willing to learn, to the point where you have to be specialized just to understand the basics. The problem is that the government will use this to it's advantage to control and intimidate the population. This is an even bigger problem once you realize that the government is really conrolled by corporations, which will use both technology and politicians to get whatever they want.

Saw them on Penn State main campus in June, but last I checked we didn't have street view available yet.

My anecdote... even better, actually a screenshot from Vista. http://imgur.com/WyehG.png

So the score is no longer zero.

I went to that link, clicked on the buttons, and nothing happened.

So, the uninstall IS broken.

Probably deliberately, too, knowing Microsoft.

The first time they only used the LRAD. I managed to get an empty canister of the gas once the police left.

Your sink is filthy.

Seeing that they only just used this now

I'm not sure what you're complaining about: that they didn't use it soon enough, or that you think they used the bullets first?
I live in Pittsburgh, and work in Lawrenceville section of town where the first serious protests of the week happened. My co-workers and I went out to watch and followed the march around for a while. They pretty much immediately used the LRAD as the first round. The CS (pepper) gas was also used after the LRAD, and I didn't see any rubber bullets/bean bag rounds being used, but hear they were used much later.

I witnessed this confrontation here which I think was the second time the march encountered the police. The first time they only used the LRAD. I managed to get an empty canister of the gas once the police left.

It looks like they got a little more brutal when they went to the Pitt campus. I think by that time some shop windows had been broken, and there were people setting dumpsters on fire.

Pity the bandwidth of the site was exceeded - could not see the piccys.

First five slides here. Four more here. If you can only see two images, then read the man page.

I'm on 50mbit cable in the UK, it costs £38 per month. Apart from electricity, water and gas, this is the only other "house" service we pay for; no phone line, no cable TV. Are the speeds as good as advertised? http://imgur.com/0IyyR.png (screenshot of an average download, a ~1.4gb movie split into 200mb segments).
Yes, I'm very happy with their service so far, although I only get 180 kilobytes/s upload which is significantly slower than the download speeds it's... enough for my purposes. It handles large Skype conferences easily, although transferring large files (backing up my work laptop to LiveDrive) isn't really an issue if left overnight.

I rather like this alternate interpretation of the infographic the AP used to explain their new scheme. Found via BoingBoing.

There is also this classic product development comic.

Default install of VLC, video is incredibly blocky compared to WMP, GOM Player, or J River Media Center. This is for nearly any video I throw at it, it looks better in any other player. What gives?

Patents for drilling a hole in the ground? :facepalm:

Just to clarify, SP2 adds support for OpenDocument Text, not all OpenDocument, no spreadsheets, no presentations, etc. etc. It is a good step, but everyone must know it, if not MS will just say "we support OpenDocument" to all institutions and countries that requires ODF support.

Your post is so wrong, I had to put it into pictures
