Well, I was under the impression that banks, online merchants, and government services releasing my personal information to the public wasn't legal, either.
We use our fake names on the Internet, and our real names in those services, and never the twain shall meet, unless some law is being broken.
You know, just to point this out for anyone who hasn't tried it yet -- RealMyst isn't up to much. The controls just feel clunky as hell. There was something about the original game that was balanced (the click-to-move screen-by-screen display) that RealMyst doesn't capture right.
Makes sense. I drive through Schenectady on the way to Vermont every now and then to visit relatives -- all I remember is that everything looks like a dump.
Or, it's because 68k and x86 are completely and utterly different things, yet there's practically no difference in the instruction set between Core2 chips and Atom chips.
We can defend it all we want to, but this is a dick move from Apple, plain and simple. It's their right, sure, but it's still dick-ish.
Ubuntu tends to be a rather cutting-edge distro. Hope it works for you.
Regardless of the cred you give, was that an underhanded stab at Ubuntu? Like all distros, there's stable and more unstable versions. Use the Ubuntu LTS release if you're worried about stability -- it's released once every two years. Never had a problem with it.
Did Yahoo not think that women engineers would be present at this event? They make up roughly ten percent of engineers as a whole. Furthermore, did they think that there was some way that women attendees would be perfectly comfortable watching other women objectified on a stage?
Hell, there's women present in some of the pictures from the event -- I would love to hear their thoughts on this and what it was like being there.
Not to mention that what techies like us consider an "unfamiliar interface" and what the common employee considers an "unfamiliar interface" are completely different things.
To most employees, if the location of a familiar button, etc, is moved, it might as well have disappeared -- looking for it never even factors into their minds. I'm beginning to think that the common computer user never really _learns_ anything, and just remembers specific locations to click on a screen.
Honestly, it's rigodamndiculous how difficult it is to find, download, and install software on Linux. At least compared to the Windows/Mac platform.
Aye, spoken like someone who hasn't really used an Ubuntu system in the last 3 years or so.:P

That's all there really is to it. If you want to be really daring and install something that's not in the app store, download a.DEB file and doubleclick it. Advanced, I know!
...like he explained, not that there's any way to prove it. Windows Mobile and the BlackBerry world have only just now gotten centralized app stores -- there's apps every bloody where for the BlackBerry, for instance, they're just not collected up in any one place.
Same company -- not the same people. I swear there's whole nations worth of people in companies the size of Microsoft that aren't even on the same page, ever.
Laugh, but just the fact that we're collectively trying to work out the problems of interplanetary communication now that we'll certainly have in the future (if we don't destroy ourselves) made my day.
You mean, what kind of [random project variable needing the levels of accountability and ass-covering that only $32m can provide] project costs less than $32m?

Now -- tell us how you really feel.

Please -- no one use that share price to make any financial decisions. That was a typo.
Yeah, but those companies weren't gazillion-dollar companies with share prices in the $5600's. I think Google might actually get the balance right.
It's because this card does it all while using a fraction of the GTS 250's power draw.

True -- I envy Nvidia users that have that driver feature. There isn't a comparable one on ATI yet, is there?

Wasn't that crap thrown out when somebody finally told them that after a server's shut down, the RAM information is, you know, not there anymore?
I don't run any sites that will likely be the subject of a subpoena
I don't think you've really thought about that statement very much. :p
Or, especially with Ubuntu, stick with the LTS versions. I'm still running 8.04 LTS, and don't plan to update until a month after 10.4 comes out.

I've been running corporate versions of Windows XP for years -- never once had to activate anything.
...try to prove to me that the majority of those 85k apps aren't iFart apps, and you'll have a point.
Ah -- and that's why they have a problem with it.
Imagine that -- people being ashamed of being against gay rights. Honestly, that actually warms my heart a little, to see how things have changed.

No, more like a prediction. :(
