It may not be the best OS of the bunch, but the fact of the matter is that it will run on a whole host of hardware. Apple and RIM have lost in this respect, because there will be very little choice. Microsoft seems to be in bed with HP. WebOS and Android will take the market because soon enough someone will be running it on a toaster.
The real trick to software uptake is usability. If you can take a complex solution and make it a breeze to use you've got a win. The problem with a lot of the free software out there is the focus on "making it work" instead of "making it pretty"
If you have an application that takes a bit of configuration to get it right, grandma would rather press some buttons and fill in some text areas. Hiding options in config files or cli switches is not the way to go. Unfortunately, theres plenty of software out there that chooses this route
this isnt a matter for the courts. I say we gather all the apple fanboys, give em apple branded pitchforks and let em loose. To give the guy a sporting chance, we hold the event in a large forest and he gets a 30sec head start
I've pondered on this since the first story broke, but can a company be liable for hosting partial files? A lot of the links i see for rapidshare are partial archives. By themselves they do no harm
Plug-ins make it possible to do other things. Consider something like "chatzilla" which extends firefox's capabilities to that of a functioning IRC client. As a matter of fact, a friend of mine uses firefox solely for its chatzilla functionality because she turned to the "faster" Chrome browser for day-to-day web surfing
Im not sure how they operate in Canada, but I always hear about US artists being signed to labels for x number of albums. Any of the work done for those albums belongs to the label, and artists must fulfill their obligations before anything is their own again.
Companies are going to rush to get their tablets out with Honeycomb, and the hardware might vary as they compete with one another.
Look at the market right now. You've got tablets as cheap as $100 with shitty hardware. There's the middle ground with hardware that works and at the high-end you have the ipad and galaxy tab. I'd wait until even the commodity hardware is enough to make a decent tablet
I think the mafiaa will succeed at limiting disk space before technical limits are reached. The often misquoted "64k is enough...." will soon be "1TB is enough..." well, unless you're storing the latest hollywood blockbusters in their full HD glory
I've sat in lectures 200+ students and there were plenty of people screwing off. I just didnt let it bother me. If you're taking a class to learn the material you need to pay attention. You want it or you don't. Its as simple as that
The PS3 was being attacked well before OtherOS removal. When linux was available the graphics on the machine were limited to virtualization. The race was on too crack the 7 locked down SPUs. Were people successful? Mostly no, but that doesnt mean attempts havent been made. If i remember correctly, Geohot's intention was to gain access to the cores. They just happened to find an exploit to give them keys to the kingdom
Removing linux definitely brought the talent out of the woodwork, but it did not start a war
and apparently the author of the summary doesnt either.
The people of China do not speak "Chinese." Depending on the region they speak either Cantonese or Mandarin in varied regional dialects. While they do not differ all that much, they are still unintelligible when compared to each other in spoken form. Apart from being spoken differently, they are written differently aswell
Standard written Chinese is Mandarin, and spoken word for word as Cantonese it sounds unnatural because its expressions are ungrammatical and unidiomatic in Cantonese. As a result, modern Cantonese speakers have developed their own written script, sometimes creating new characters for words that either do not exist or have been lost in standard Chinese.
Saying Chinese will become a new standard language is like saying "North American" is spoken around the world.
ok, so i understand why many FPS and sports games are better played online , but this one just boggles my mind
Tekken has a button-mashing platform sort of campaign mode that can be played single or multiplayer. The thing that I cant wrap my head around is why multiplayer can only be played using a net connection
By nature of the platform, your characters are never more than a screen apart
teamwork is essential or you fail against the horde. Lag kills this
character choice is limited to the pair you choose, so its nice to negotiate in person
My guess is that this is a case of "lets do it like those guys" that tested and failed imo
Slashdot Mirror
Websites want to be found. Some even pay a lot of money to be found first
I dont wanna discourage the effort, but thats not always the case with refugees. They like to blend in and get on with their lives
aww.....i guess you didnt see ****?
I think its safe to say my password is safe
for just a small added fee you could get the sharks with laser beams attached to their freakin' heads
Can you really be sure that VZW wont get crushed when hordes of iphone users switch?

damn, i actually RTFA and was disappointed
a hassle free way to upgrade the graphics for your laptop finally

When i worked for MetroPCS the Samsung feature phones were our most solid and reliable among the bunch
damn that facebook horoscopes app....
A friend of mine swears she hasnt been on facebook in months, yet i still see the odd update from that app inmy newsfeed

or until they remove OtherOS
Its those people I laugh at. How can you sleep through a class that you've paid for?
Its a problem; laptop or no laptop.

it must not be that important.
