As mentioned before, this has already happened. if you don't believe me, check wikipedia or read a book about quantum physics/string theory such as 'fabric of the cosmos'
The benefit to the user is the perception that the ads are more relevant, and therefore, less of an interruption.
A word processor may display a banner ad along the top of a window, similar to a toolbar, while a graphical ad may be displayed in a frame associated with the application. A digital editor for photos or movies may support video-based advertisements
...Yeah... sure... i really want to be bombarded with ads that include moving images, sound, or something else when i'm trying to work... or play... or write a term paper... or something of the sort
If someone makes this, then i bet that people will not buy whatever supports/has it. noone wants to be bombarded 24/7 with ads, no matter how relevant. Oh, my printers low on ink? well i'll just go to the store. I'm out of paper? gee, let me check my closet. Yes, i really need ads offering to sell me this stuff over the internet to get it a few days later when i probably won't need it. Its a needless distraction.
also, think about the invasion of privacy. People store sensative data on your computer, that you might not want others to see, as what might happen if someone hacks into this software. also, lets say that you have a family computer and you have alot of something on it (like pr0n). it would bombard you with ads for more of this stuff, and then your family would find out.
good point However, the problem is is that most parents don't do anything about it - even if they have the unlimited plan cost is one thing but the main point i tried to make was the psychological impact i've seen what its done to the kids around me - its not pretty and with what you said - they were all examples of 'too much of a good thing is bad'. Thats what happening now with cell phones. and instead of paying off these bills, or talking to their friends, they should be studying something educational that will help them get a career in life. The world isn't going to go down the tube if Dave broke up with Mandy. It will go down the tube if the person being notified about it doesn't study because she's 'learning' about it, when she could have learned something that could help the entire world.
Yes, but most are besides, isn't the initial point of cell phones for emergencies only? so this would ensure that it was a real emergency, not an 'OMG, Dave got asked out!!'
jk Persionally, i think that cell phones are stupid things for teenagers. it means taht you are always in touch with everyone you know, and that isn't really good. it puts alot of pressure on the teens to keep up social relations forever, and they are being pressured like this 24/7. If it were just calling, then it would be a bit easier, ebcause you can only talk to one person at at time. however, with texting, you can have unlimited converstaions at once. Imagine what that would do to the psych - talk about mulit-tasking! And the worst part is is that kids at age 6 or 7 are now getting cell phones. Talk about rediculous! most of them can't even spell and they're texting and talking like crazy.
The solution for this? Ban normal cell phones for everyone under the age of 21, and let the only cell phones allowed for people that age be one button cell phones with no screen that only call 911.
This isn't anything new. I've been able to do it for linux since i've started. Heck, i carry two around - one with DSL installed, and another with all of my pref/files for ubuntu
If i don't want to join the RIAA, it means i don't want to pay them anything. If i give the songs to an internet radio station for free, it means i want them to have it. FOR FREE. Now, lets discuss what 'free' means. Free means you don't pay anything. Free means that no fees are paid. Free means that the person can do whatever he wants with it, and not need to pay anyone anything. The RIAA wanting to collect royalties for stuff that doesn't have their label on it, that doesn't have a liscence with it, is like someone collecting money for a patent that they don't hold.
have you checked into firefox latley? or the plans for FF3?
with the extentions, firefox can replace alot of things taht you would normally do with other apps. also, with the plans for FF3, its going to become an even more of a 'all bundled into one package' deal
i don't know what world you are living in... every site i go to under IE runs alot slower than firefox... whether it be slashdot, a forum, or anything else... firefox was always faster. the only time i use IE is when i need to access my school's website - the computer person there is too lazy to do it in anything other than frontpage.
Does this mean that for older copies of windows, we get money for them? Do we have to send them in? Or do we just get paid for having bought older copies of windows?
why wouldn't it still be a problem? the reason that people think that they don't see anyone there is because there is light bouncing off other surfaces, then going through that 'cloak' like you said, then reaching their eyes. however, the light can't bounce around the barrier that your feet make with the ground, so can the light bounce around to the ground, for it to then be reflected off of the ground to the observer's eyes so that they can see the ground?
What about the ground? Can the light even bend around an object that is stuck to another? I don't think so... So wouldn't it make two dark spots on the ground? that could be used to identify if someone is using an invisibility cloak.
when i searched for pizza in my town, i got the same buisiness twice in a row as the top two results. they were also my favorite buisinesses
anyone hear the weird squiggle thing? its funny
i'm guessing that they would probably put ads as your search is being done.
Not neccesarily true
Then, after i wasted about 4 hours doing that, i had to then configure the DSL for the computer. Verizon is really hurtful when it comes to that. So thats another hour or so (with lunch break).
After that, i finally was able to install the updates. All that said and done, i then had to install all of my parent's programs. After configuring them to their required specifications, i had wasted about 3 days doing this.
Whereas on linux, i was able to install it in about an hour (with me not touching it). Once that was done i left it to install updates (about 30-60 min). I then spent the next half hour installing all of my programs and configuring the system to my specifications.
I was watching the Jay Leno Show, and in the segment 'We found it on Ebay' they looked at a replica of this car! Its price was only 16500 though... though noone bid on it.
Precisely
Its alot harder to regulate website - if one gets shut down, then you could just set up another one as easily
or even set it up in another country, and access it from there
I agree with you on this point. If a crime has been done, then all of the evidence should be investigated, and not just parts of it. You don't get a good picture, and it ends up being that you come to the wrong conclution.
Which actually could be bad for RIAA.
But we want it to be bad for them through the full picture.

parent and this guy are TROLLs and he should SHUT THE FUCK UP and he's been doing this on TONS OF THREADS
Yes it does. Look at the first one.
There is your solution right there.

i don't know what world you are living in ... ... whether it be slashdot, a forum, or anything else ... firefox was always faster.
every site i go to under IE runs alot slower than firefox
the only time i use IE is when i need to access my school's website - the computer person there is too lazy to do it in anything other than frontpage.
I could swear that i read this article on slashdot before ... i just can't find the link ...

Microsoft is yet again stealing other's ideas and using their power to make money. microsoft should get a heavy 'dupe' warning
