The inventor of the world wide web has been awarded the Order of Merit
I can't believe someone would be ignorant/arrogant enough to actually name one person as the inventor of the internet. You could ask a middle schooler in the US who invented the internet and they'd say it was a cooperative effort between many organizations and people. And don't even get me started on what Al Gore would say lol. He invented the address system and a linking and browsing system. Yup that's the entire internet alright. You don't need cables or network hardware or servers or anything!
I was at someone's apartment yesterday that's pretty much on the edge of an almost 100,000 person city and they can't get anything but dialup there. They can't even get cable, they have to have a dish. I was actually considering moving in there cuz it was really nice and the price was right but then I heard that and was like forget it. It's not even close to a rural area either. It's like half a mile from one of the biggest malls around here. If the stupid cable and phone companies would just spend some money and lay down some fiber or at least copper, it wouldn't be so bad. When 99% of people with dialup are pissed, that's a pretty good business opportunity for broadband here.
I think they're trying to get IPv6 to work on it but it's not working lol. Oh well, I hear if you eat enough fiber, it upgrades your DNS network to fiber lol.
I meant computers couldn't run complex programs like they can today so everyone slimmed them down and didn't add stupid features that take up 99% of a modern processor for like a minute. I don't think it would be possible to write the newest version of Norton's security suite in notepad for example. And don't you dare say nobody writes complex programs for Linux cuz there's cool stuff out there
Ask a professional programmer and he will differ with you
I'm one and that's definitely true. That kind of stuff was great 10 years ago but now with super complicated programs, having to type everything with no assistance in a text editor would probably kill me lol. Typing every single little command perfectly with no errors is pretty much impossible. When was the last time you even saw a professional site NOT have a javascript error when it's done loading? I can't even live without intellisense in VS lol
Yeah that's what we need, another browser to take into consideration when making a website. Like I really want to make changes to one page then check it in Safari, IE7, Firefox, and Netscape 9.0. Everyone should pick between Firefox and IE7 and boycott the rest before it slows website development down to a crawl
either that or there's tons of false positives seeing as how some star, let's say 500 lightyears away could have ANYTHING pass between earth and it and make it look like a planet was blocking the sun but not really. It seems to me that were would be no way to tell if it was a planet or not.
Is it just me or are they screwing with just about everything by doing this? Conservation does not mean every single animal species should survive. If they're too stupid/malfunctional to mate on their own, shouldn't they not survive? I thought that was the whole point lol. By using robots and scientists and stuff to mess with the processes and trying to determine which ones should mate and forcing them find each other based on our judgement, instead of letting them do it on their own, can't end well.
Microsoft could get sued for saying software in general runs on Vista because that's deceptive lol. In fact, they could get sued for saying Vista runs. Half the features that dont/didn't work like sleeping and hibernating they could get sued over.
Why do these censoring countries and the groups in them even bother? They're just going to be twice as pissed when 13 year olds find ways around it lol. The harder you try and block it, the harder people will try to unblock it and then you look like the bad guy for trying to block it.
technically this article is exaggerated though. Yeah "it" as a technology doesn't work but you can still very easily watch TV on your vista PC. There are working video capture cards with live view and external computer oriented tuner boxes for like $40 that still work with a remote. It just send out as composite (that lovely yellow cable with the giant pin) and usually 1/8 inch audio that can go in the line in. Also I'm not terribly familiar with cable card technology but I bet some regular old PCI tuners still work. if my Avermedia Pro 007 doesn't I will NEVER upgrade to Vista cuz that's why I bought a 2nd monitor.
Oh darn now I gotta rewrite my new program's EULA that says "if you don't like my program or it breaks your computer, go **** yourself." Lol I think it's good idea to force game makers actually responsible for stuff that happens in it and its customers well being.
Ya know what else is really weird? Human Torch + clowns = flaming clowns in Marvel Ultimate Alliance:P kiiiinda weird. In fact, weirder than human torch's powers working underwater in the Atlantis mission lol.
I think the article is implying that your memory of similiar, repetetive tasks goes to reduce to "index" of totals when trying to recall one. So if you only ever sky-dived once, you're gonna remember exactly how it went. But if you're a sky diving instructor, you'll have a hard time remembering any one jump in particular. So yeah, sumbitting stories does get A LITTLE repetetive after a few years and thus hard to remember lol
Oh like I really need one more browser to worry about when I'm making a webpage. I already have to write most of the scripts twice for IE and Firefox! I hope nobody uses it:(
So how many apps are even just written for the Mac? Yeeeeah, not a lot and don't a lot of ppl own Macs as opposed to the 1% of people who said they'd buy an iPhone for the price it's at. Apple in their usual self important attitude always make everything sound like the coolest, most popular thing ever but I bet this one won't fly no matter what they do to it.
does anyone else find it surprising that they're still trying to push the most expensive computing platform into schools? No wonder some are switching to Windows. OMG I just called a Microsoft product cheaper! Is the problem really this bad?
Why doesn't he threaten to blow terrorists up with WMDs? You know, just to mix it up a little for once. I think that'd be much more interesting cuz Europe's probably just gonna be like "Russia sucks" and go back to suing Microsoft some more.
oh wait, I guess it a different movie lol. But I hope some ppl go watch it in their V for Vendetta masks:D It's like sending the government a terrorist death threat over their ridiculous use of cameras and stuff without really sending one lol.
oh I'm so sure that'd be the first thing they invent with the technology lol. Not like a space elevator's rope or inproved construction crane or fishing line or a kevlar-like substance. Then again, those aren't quite as cool sounding
It's really about bitching like crazy until finally you get a version of it where people can...you know...write software and give it out for free without anyone messing with it and copying it and stuff. In fact, it could be a one line license that just says that.
And nobody will notice the trail of the other like 20 kg of byproducts dripping out your exhaust lol. I'm pretty sure it would be a thin oil substance so all the cars would slide around and crash and everyone would die....hmm that seems like a minor bug to work out lol.
If I was the prosecutor, I'd charge them with selling crappy computers with tons of useless HP junk installed on it. Oh and also, a lesser charge of too many blue lights on one laptop.

regularly migrating space whale? lol a planet in another solar system between here and there. An asteroid in our system?
