The US first should have withdrawn from the WTO. Then it would become essentially EU-2, and we all can see how well the EU is working out. Eh... what's your point? Last I checked, the EU is doing pretty damn well.
(And please don't just respond with a list of "bad" things about the EU, because I'm sure someone else can respond with counterpoints to every bad thing you bring up, ad nauseum.)
What if they pay it off, with help from Microsoft, to show how an "agreeable" Linux vendor like Novell seeks to "work with those who bring patent claims against them?"
Something tells me that Novell getting sued in this lawsuit is no big surprise to them.
Fooling the JavaScript environment? You'd have to see exactly how the site's doing the checking -- if it's just checking the JS environment, you should be able to fool it with a few GreaseMonkey scripts, but if it's checking your browser based upon various rendering quirks that IE has, then I feel your pain.
Almost like that....except it has to be an Xbox360, the Xbox wouldnt pick it up - thats the only way I got it to work.
Some College websites require IE and only IE....IE4Linux saves the hassle of windows. I can relate with you there, but wouldn't a simple plugin like User Agent Switcher for Firefox work for you? It could fool a website into thinking that you're running IE, and I'm pretty sure that's all you'd need, because as far as I know, getting ActiveX to work under linux, even with IE4Linux, is a pain in the ass, and there's no guarantee that it'll work every time.
I wasn't even aware the K10 was out, thus far I've seen nothing on it on any of the sites I normally look at. Very strange.
I know -- it's been a weird release, to say the least. I haven't really heard very much about them at all, and for a chip this neat that's kind of surprising.
You can buy them now on Newegg here -- they were up a few weeks ago for about $800, but then they were taken down, and now they're back up. Who knows, eh?
Ugh -- critics. Can't please 'em all. I would have thought that all the mess revolving around that last group of "anti-Big-Bang" appointees that were assigned to run NASA would've made this joke somewhat relevant!
Apparently 167 genes in the space-evolved strain had changed.
I'm sure that once faith-based initiatives take hold in space (due to the right political appointee) and spaceships become intelligently designed this will no longer be a problem, right?
And don't get me started on the Dune sequels, where the notes of Frank Herbert, instead of just being shown as they were, were turned into dreck by his son and an airport paperback writer. THANK YOU. Thank god I wasn't the only one who noticed this -- the whole time I'm reading the few prequels that I actually did read, I'm thinking, "Man, it's like someone took a book that Frank Herbert had written and got some two-bit hack to copy it over, only he left out all the good bits."
I always thought it amazing how I was able to read God Emperor of Dune in five days, yet Battle of Corrin took four frickin' weeks. The book was utter shite, and I'm being as nice as I can be in saying that.
Yes I am an engineer!!! ...who once had his flaxen-haired sweetheart stolen away from him by a dashing CS major, apparently. That'd have to be it -- the anger in your post makes little sense otherwise.
Space exploration is probably the greatest interdisciplinary field that we can pursue. Nearly every field will be essential to some part of it. ...except Computer Science?
Seriously, who's going to clean out the spyware on the ship's onboard web terminals? Or make sure the ship's Xbox 360's are updated correctly?
Computer Science (or at least a number of its subfields) may be classified as an applied science, especially as it applies to Information Science.
Wouldn't you be more valuable on the ground, anyway? You're absolutely right. I should definitely leave space exploration up to the Soil Scientists and Oceanographers.
First off, I like the interface -- it's still familiar to users of current office software, but with a nice sorta "new" feel to it (the colors remind me of Office 2007 or the Notes 8 Beta).
I've tested it with a couple of SmartSuites files -- Word Pro and 1-2-3 -- and it seems to open them fairly nicely. They've must've tweaked the OpenOffice engine a bit to get them to work better with SmartSuite files, which "vanilla" OpenOffice sometimes had problems with.
One thing I like about it is the "tabbing" system -- whether I've got 1-2-3 files or Word Pro files open, they're all presented in a unified window, with tabs denoting the different documents. Now, that's something I'd like to see in other office suites.

Good lord! Apparently, this legal team is distributing the full copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in PDF form!
Someone should contact the Scholastic, Inc. legal team immediately to inform them of this blatant disrespect of copyright law.
As long as we don't put IT purchasing power into the hands of those with little technical expertise, we'll be fine.

You could try removing your return key with a screwdriver.
Well, why create a "No-fly List" for airline flights if terrorists, such as the 9/11 hijackers, used fake names and ID's?
...right?
I mean, it's not like a country would ever use technology such as this to control its own populace... right?
That'd be just... silly, right?

...it wants its stories back. :P
I thought Microsoft had already shut up about this for now?

How's that for strategery?
After a year of reading /., I'm pleased to announce that the time it takes for me to "get" jokes like this has decreased by approximatively 30%.
Thanks, everybody.

Come on, throw me a bone here.

An interesting question indeed. Maybe if I was old and grey and had already lived my life to the fullest, but otherwise, no.
There goes my chance. Or does it count as a "physical science?"
I like the site, but who the hell chose that ugly italic font on that page for some of the titles? Ugh! Seriously, it looks dated as hell.

Aye -- as far as I know, it's good and dead. They're not planning on moving it up to Vista from what I hear.
...isn't worth it when it's brand new. Give it a while for the price to come down.
