I've always had this sort of neat idea, though it definitely requires you to know the keyboard very well. Sort of like 10 little sticker things that go on your finger tips, then you can just type on any surface, or thin air if you want, based on the movement of your fingers. Not really sure how this would work, but a combination of that, mind interface, and video in glasses, not giant visors but glasses (which last I checked was pretty close or here) would be an amazing setup. It truly would be a personal computer.
I like it at night. My main PC sits inches from my head, and the nights that I don't have ambient music playing out of it the hard drives and fans spin. I hear them and they help me sleep.
I spose I'm just a geek like that, though what do you expect on/.?
I doubt it, as a Linux port was planned from the beginning for AIR (even when it was still called Apollo), so they were able to make the code easy to port over. For the other such applications, they'd have to completely rewrite it, where as with AIR they just make the changes they've been setting up for all along.
That's one websites logs. It doesn't detect which ones were ignored, which were entered improperly, and which were bot attempts. You can't really be sure that all those 20% are humans entering the CAPTCHA wrong.
He was only wealthier than Bill Gates for a brief time, when the value of his various investments increased to surpass Bill Gates. Don't ask me where, but I remember reading about a week ago how Bill Gates retook the world's richest man.
Those are horrible analogies, it's like a series of tubes, where cars can float through them, and sometimes banana peels are thrown on the ground and the car slips and is delayed while it must right itself. And Comcast also constantly patrols the roads and cleared stopped cars.
I've had a similar idea for websites. Basically, integrate the bittorrent protocol with the normal web model to have any tiny bit of static data able to be served from other people. Have the server be at least 1 seed, so worst case scenario the server has to do all the same work it's doing now. Any images, and common CSS files or the template HTML can be stored in the cloud, where things like content, links, and things of that nature would be manipulated as usual and swapped out for the placeholders in the static data. Sort of like a templating system one would build for a basic CMS, where the static data is stored off-site. The only problem is, verifying that the data you're getting is what the website wants. Not only that, but it would be difficult to make changes to the static data. This would be the same with the patches, MS could be getting in trouble or look worse (I know, hard right?) than they do now, taking the blame for someone else's malicious changing of the worm-patch.
No, they say somewhere in the movie that there are only 2 Sith. It's kind of stupid, not only for your reason but, what if I decide that I'll be the new Sith? And there's already 2 in existence? Then we have 3, and the other 2 don't even know it.
What about the entire flight simulation community? It's pretty big, and almost everyone uses a joystick to do it. It just doesn't work with a keyboard, and using a controller sucks too.
Which is in fact usually less than the movie actually makes, plus those figures are published either after the payout or unofficially, so they can clame it to be false.
Right, but MS's patches aren't third party software. They don't want to be held liable for the patches, or even looked at negatively if the bad patches start being synonymous with MS's patches.
Windows 98 was also released 10 years ago, when such piracy was not nearly as big a problem as it is today. Times changes, so must security. WGA is Microsoft securing their product. How do you suggest it figure out who stole it and who didn't without bothering you but still preventing pirates from getting their product for free?
So you're alright with paying more for your shirt because you refuse to be hassled, so the person stealing it also won't be hassled? That's how the system works now, and I personally think that if WGA can keep the already high price of windows down then there's nothing wrong with it. Why wouldn't you be able to comply with the request? Is your mouse and keyboard broken? How hard is it to hit "Validate"?
Bad analogy. It's more like, passing through the security tag detector gates on the way out. Or, a more unrealistic one (but even closer to the original example), your shirt automatically calling the store and asking if the security tag was _actually_ removed or if the shirt was just tricked into thinking so. The only input it requires is asking if it can do so, and a warning that failure will result in the shirt automatically turning itself inside out once in a while. Microsoft isn't saying "you have to come to a microsoft support center and tell us you have windows", it's a fairly painless and automatic procedure.
Meh, I spose. I've never seen anything like that, so I was imagining something like a book, where it wouldn't really matter if page 1 was on the left or on the right.
I've never had a problem with it. First of all, what does it matter which side it's on, if you're reading it the same anyway:s
Second of all, it's a huge improvement. Adobe Reader takes forever to open up (even on my fast computer), but Foxit comes up in seconds. And it's free. Beat that, Adobe.
No, this would prove that the last man standing is definitely the strongest. They have defeated that many competitors and still win, so therefore they are easily the strongest.

The RIAA, MPAA, and Microsoft all combining would be worse than the sun exploding. Far worse.

For the first time ever reading a /. comment, I actually laughed out loud for this one. You sir, deserve applause.

WHOOOOOSH.
You missed the sarcastic not-getting-it response.

I was just going to say that. I'm so glad I live here in the US, where we are innocent until proven guilty.
Oh wait... *curses the MAFIAA and Time Warner*

Trust me, as long as there are games like Crysis to do more than 200% of what my system can handle we'll be alright.

Honestly, just look around on freecsstemplates.org and find something you like, and use it. You find some very nice templates there.

Once you've got that set up, use a tool like this: http://projectdistributor.net/Releases/Release.aspx?releaseId=404 And fill it with random dummy data ;)
