One thing that doesn't bother me is that ISPS should do some traffic shaping if the line is saturated.
I suppose. But a company that runs all those smug free ads for "Powerboost" and mocking DSL users as "The Slowskys" shouldn't have saturated lines very often. Even if they have 100 * N users all hitting the same cable segment at the same time....something cable modem architecture would seem to encourage.
All well and good to brag about how fast the peak rate is...but if you can't actually deliver those peak rates without assasinating random (or not so random) TCP sessions, something's wrong.
most Technically Able people have learned to ignore anything the size of an advertisement.
Apparently they've also learned to ignore the difference between "its" and "it's", "your" and "you're" and "loose" and lose", along with other nit-picking trivia such as writing complete sentences. I'm sure none of that has anything to do with your failure to attract advertising revenue.

Gee, I managed to remember that despite my laptop and Treo.
In addition to the fact that it wasn't Europe, what was "unveiled" wasn't a space plane. It was *plans* for a space plane. You can't "unveil" something you haven't built yet.

Also when a blind amateur radio operator has large antennas in his yard for 15 years and his neighbors decide they don't like it, he's comitting "anti-social behavio[u]r". They go get an "ASBO", an "Anti-Social Behavio[u]r Order". See http://tinyurl.com/yrhjx2
This is a way to make up your own laws to suit the occasion without all the inconvenience of actually legislating.
So funny how the Brits love slagging the US government when theirs is so amusing to watch....from a distance. Up close it's not as much fun...and you can keep the "tech"; we've got plenty of video survelliance here, thnekyewveddymuch. What we *don't* have (yet) is this insane "ASBO" nonsense that throws due process out the window. You can keep that too.
Why is it that a certain segment of the gun-owning populace immediately jumps to the conclusion that there's some grand-scale movement to try to completely ban guns every time limitations on gun ownership are brought up?
I guess the name of this program lets you know how much the coin of "innovation" has been debased, that this kind of stunt dares call itself "innovation".
I do hope when MSFT and the BSA tell us how much money is lost to the scourge of piracy in the future, they price out the software in this bundle at $3 a copy.
I would fathom to say that most of us on this site are too young to have been plopped in front of a TV that old for large amounts of time
But most of us that old would know that "fathom to say" isn't the idiom you're reaching for.:-) "Offer" or "venture to guess" perhaps.
In fact the X-ray concern arose only after color TV was introduced; I remember watching pre-color TVs quite well. The only concern voiced for "don't sit so close" in those days was "you'll strain your eyes".
It was originally scheduled to be in the first release, but Flash Player 9 for Linux ended up delayed, which forced the Apollo team to change their plans. You can definitely expect Linux parity in the long run.
You'd think that by the time something got to version 9, we'd already be at "the long run".
Anyone who has ever had to make a cross platform GUI application that works identically on Linux, Mac, and Windows, can tell you what a nightmare it is.
Then they can tell Adobe, because Apollo doesn't run on Linux.
Red Thunder and Red Lightning by John Varley. Since she's a bio teacher, Titan, Demon and Wizard...also Varley. Almost anything by Heinlein, bearing in mind that some of the science may be a bit dated.
We call that "begging the question" (or, for people who have forgotten what "begging the question" actually means, "petitio principii") . The problem with the obvious "holocaust denier" reference is that it equates the level of certainty of dangerous human-caused global warming with the level of certainty that The Holocaust occurred, without offering anywhere near the amount of evidence that exists for the latter.
But if you already call your proposition "the truth", then of course there's little point in discussing how good your evidence is.
Of course, the "affirmirs" are denying that there could be another cause for the observed facts...so they are just as deserving of the "denier" label.
Haven't seen a semantic power play like this one since the "Bolsheviks" and "Mensheviks".

Sure it is. Years ago people saw robot insects flying over anti-war protests all the time. But they were too high to try to take pictures, dude...

So, Bush is responsible for Hugo Chavez. Sure, that makes sense too.
Ah, so it's *Bush's* fault that a persistent heckler was tasered by campus cops at a Kerry event.
Thanks for clearing that up.
Wow, it's just so weird to write "IBM/Solaris"
No wierder than it was to write "IBM/Novell" back in the day of things like "NetWare for SAA"...
kinda makes all the hard work I put into the PoS Vista pre-installer go to waste
I thought PoS was a preinstalled feature on Visa?
Although this may be an IsA vs. HasA distinction.

You can no doubt get somebody to do that for you online. But she'll want to be paid first.
Did you want to be spanked too? That's extra.

But I do have Linux.
I'd hate to be the sporting goods salesman when you people come around to ask about the cross-country skis...
"How much country can I cross with these skis?" is so unreasonable to ask...
Look at it this way: if your OS portfolio is Mac and Windows, then you're about as "cross-platform" as Excel is.
Just give up. Otherwise, this will eventually end with them complaining that it doesn't run on the VIC-20.
Nobody *made* them call it a "cross-operating system runtime"...excuse us for asking how many operating systems it crosses.
They could have just called it a "proprietary thing to build apps with", but somehow that sounds less appealing.

According to this article, a Linux version is planned.

I can show you an article that says I plan to become rich and famous.

The word denier is very apt. They deny the truth.
We call that "begging the question" (or, for people who have forgotten what "begging the question" actually means, "petitio principii") . The problem with the obvious "holocaust denier" reference is that it equates the level of certainty of dangerous human-caused global warming with the level of certainty that The Holocaust occurred, without offering anywhere near the amount of evidence that exists for the latter.

In fact, the deniers are the only ones I have seen become emotional...
Really. You don't get out much, do you?
This whole "deniers" thing is an obvious infraction of Godwin's Law...
