That is about the difference between the two main candidates. All of the others are the no-name brands. Until Americans actually start trying to find a candidate they actually LIKE instead of the one they "dislike more," America is going to be in a forever cyclictic shit hole. Perhaps that day there will be a third big name beverage is soda...nah. George Washington was right when he said to be careful of political parties.
To my eyes, none of the fonts appear to be a clear improvement over the others. Even if they are, I can't seeing them replace the corefonts because there just isn't enough of a difference for untrained eyes.
I agree the original Super Mario Kart was the best [including hopping]. That version intrinsically had a bit of a learning curve for turning the bends, requiring much more skill to win a race than Mario Kart 64. But for those aforementioned reasons I believe 64 received its original changes...to make it more accessible. Things like giving a speed advantage and a higher ratio of good items to the rear racer never quite felt right. You eventually realize that only last 30 seconds of the race matters under those conditions. On the bright side, I do hear that the DS version is bitchin because it's a combination of the best parts of the original and it's 64 version.
PS I have no real grips about the battle modes in 64, although I never especially appreciated the large size of the levels.
Implementation makes all of the difference. If it was done well, it sounds like a nice feature. Otherwise, it sounds like a Linux window manager that gives you a freakish amount of control over your windows at the detriment of usability for normal people.
I'm sorry, but knowing nothing about Windows Vista that sounds like an extremely stupid feature. If I actually saw the implementation, I would probably thinking along the same lines as you. But until then, your words made me question the interface design of general windows programs that should have their own volume sliders anyway. 9_6
Looking up my man pages, a Mac OS X alias appears to be somewhere between a hard link and a soft link. Yes, an alias links directly to the file like a hard link, but it is _not_ actually the file. If you delete the orignal file, the alias will point nowhere and error. My guess is that with a change ZFS, Apple will exchange aliases for soft links.
I believe the Myth Property was sold to another company. Take2/Mumbo Jumbo developed and published Myth 3 and I can't see why they won't be the ones to continue the series if they see fit.
I wonder how Mac OS X aliases will function under ZFS. With HFS no matter where you move a file or its alias, they will be correctly linked. This is because the filesystem supposedly stores everything with an abstracted unique name. Will this be the end of Mac OS style aliases?
It would be nice if Linux had the ability to do concept of mini windows tied to one single application like Photoshop does on the Mac. The mini windows disappear when the main app is not active so they don't get in the way. When visible they are always in front of your document so they can't become hidden underneath your artwork when painting. Gimp SCREAMS for that kind functionality with how it is presently setup.
Incidentally, Gnome presently has a hidden (and still non-functional) preference that might end up being the future answer. By changing the string, you can change the window manager from being window'instance based to application based. *Crossing fingers*
Good god! I'm starting to have nightmares about me, thirty years in the future, not being able to communicate with my refrigerator because no languages are left. I'm trying to scream "EGG SALAD!!!" but nothing comes out. Silence. We need to correct this probablem as soon as possible before it gets as bad as AIDS, etc.
Actually, if you get a less cheap hard drive, wouldn't that already significantly improve speed, power consumption, and make less noise? Or am I just fooling myself? It would probably still be cheaper than the flash drive equivalent too.
No it's not the same. On windows you just click a vague yes or no button. On linux you tend to need to input a password. One of the two makes it painfully obvious you are about to do something to your core system.
The web is not a static medium. It's not like a book or a newspaper where you control exactly how the user sees it. It's made to be flexible so as to accommodate different needs. Being able to resize text is not a bug. Disabling images in your browser is not a bug. Being able to block adds is not a bug. It is an interpretation of the webpage.
On a side note, I don't personally go the full nine yards with the ad blocking thing. However I do disallow the animation of gif images and prevent flash animations from appearing until clicked. They are about as bad as the damn blink tag I say!
Why didnt they drop the price uniformly across the board? With a price drop of $50 the Core version would have been priced directly against the Wii, which I think would have made sense for Microsoft at least from a psychological and marketing standpoint. Maybe it's to trick the uneducated masses into thinking the Xbox Core is more powerful than the Wii by being more expensive? No wait...
I posted somewhere else but it seemed to get ignored. It sounds like Vista has no langugage selection (ala Mac OS X or Linux) from your comment. Is Microsoft _still_ regioning their OS that way? Or are you just taking a guess from XP experience?
The Internet Explorer langugage packs don't count. They're really pretty half assed in comparison.
If you import Vista, does it have a language selection ala Mac OS X or Linux gdm? If so, that is one sweet deal! I don't believe XP had it, but it was much closer than previous versions of Windows to having good built-in international support.
I don't know how well the 2 year argument holds. According to a previous post, the PS3 is following the sales trends of the GameCube. If that is true, in due time it will be getting the shoddy ports just like the GameCube did. The kind that make it look like a piece of shit no matter how powerful it is.
Hah hah! The difficulty of Ocarita of Time feels about right if you just avoid every heart piece / bottle possible. THAT is how you can modify the difficulty of the game. You get an amazing sence of accomplishment winning with so little life. Plus, you don't have to muck with collecting a bazzillion heart fragments.
I have an artificial leg for the last 11 years. (It was amputated when I was 12 because of bone cancer.) Talking to the doctor when He was fitting me for my newest model, I learned that development is speeding up again because of more income. Insurance companies are afraid to say "no" to more technically sophisticated (read expensive) artificial limbs with all of the returning soldiers. Insurance companies either get overly stingy or give too much. It's during periods like this that I should get a new model made.
I am happy with my handy dandy new cleg. I just wish I didn't get the feeling that I have to out think the CPU sometimes. It's taken about 8 months to not walk like a total retard, but I still haven't gotten to the point where people don't look at me funny. On the bright side, I can do roller blading and ice skating with this knee. That is a great way to pick up chicks along with my sexy leopard print socket.
On Dec. 30 [researchers] sent data at 7.67 gigabits per second, using standard communications protocols Yes, the internet seems to be getting faster bit by bit.

Well actually, the original plan was to remove the antenna using SGI effects before going public with the pictures. What a management bungle this was!

I think IP Tables is installed by default. Is firestarter to control IP Tables from the GUI in the repos still or not?

Has anyone noticed that when you use a Mac for a while, Windows fonts suddenly feel really pixelated with Cleartype?
Then if you use a PC for a while, when you come back to a Mac the fonts feel really blury?

Actually, I was hoping to get a leg that makes Star Wars light saber sound effects. It would be so dramatic walking.
