oh man, I do not look forward to having to chrome be big enough of a deal that I have to start developing for it too. I know competition is good and all, but really 3 major browsers will make development rediculous
And actually, you bring up an interesting point. Take the Ender series (books 2-4), can't think of his name, but the boy with the cybernetic eye that could record. If we had that technology, would he then be banned from the theater?
Technically, if you have a photographic memory and artistic skills, you should be banned to, because you could draw something out.
They have redefined beta for marketing purposes. By making things like Gmail invitation only, it passes itself around by word of mouth much quicker.
"I have a Gmail beta invite if anyone wants one"
even beta invites on sale at ebay.
And that isn't just for closed betas. People hear beta, and they think they are on the leading edge of technology, so they jump in.
I can't blame them for the move, as I would do the same if I were in their position. In fact, a an app I am working on will be released in the same manner
I'd rather just see the judge summarily dismiss all cases that use their breathalyzer. They wouldn't be able to sell another one until the released the code, and I guarantee they would release it immediately if it is between that and closing their doors
My understanding, and please someone correct me if I wrong, is that registrars can "try out" a domain name for free for a period of time. They use this to check domains to see how many hits they get, and then purchase the domain if it gets a sufficient amount. It is a horrible practice that results in those spam pages you see everywhere.
"There's enough inventory out there that people don't quit shopping for them. They may have to go to three or four different locations before they find one, but ultimately they do," Baker said.
I just called around to 15 Gamestops on Tuesday, the vast majority of which got their shipment of Wii in just a few hours prior, and they were all sold out. Many said they sold out within minutes of getting them in.
I was looking for my sister who wanted to get one for her husband. She ended up buying one used on Ebay for $350 (new ones were going for $450)
That is the problem right there, people are buying them to jack up the price and sell them on EBay. There would be plenty of Wiis available if not for those scum
This has been going on for years. PIF at least was censored out about 2 years ago after a virus went around.
It's not all bad though, now you can PIF a conversation. When you want to end a multiuser chat, type in *.PIF and everyone will be knocked out.
can you really copyright the feel of a commercial? Whoever was the first to do that comparison test between paper towels with the bar down the middle can make a fortune if this works
I'm more concerned with the "'per device' obsession" TFA mentions. I'm in no hurry to swap out XP/2k workstations at my shop for Vista -- and this just re-enforces that. I doubt I'm the only IT professional who feels that way.
You know, I completely agree. I have an MSDN subscription through the office, and thus I have had the opportunity to install Vista for a while now. 6 months or so ago, I installed it for a few hours before quickly going back to XP (granted that was a beta version). I have been a little curious about the final version, yet not nearly curious enough to even download it for free.
Let me explain my philosophy of downloading... I would rather have Barbie Super Gay Unicorn Adventures on my hard drive than random bits of ones and zeros that would otherwise be taking up my empty hard drive. Yet I have no desire to download Vista.
before anyone jumps on me for using XP, World of Warcraft doesn't exactly work on Linux so blah.
Several years ago, I worked in the web department of an advertising agency with very questionable business practices.
One year the COO sent out an email to the company informing us we would not be getting bonuses this year because profits had been low. The next day the CEO and President showed up in brand new matching Corvettes they bought for each other. I'm sure my bonus went to one of those tires

I guarantee if you are searching for stewardess porn, you are doing so with just your left hand... Unless of course you are left handed

4 years from now I foresee an article on slashdot saying 4 years from then linux will finally take over.
How about just x = a * b;
Thats what happened to me. I voted Bush - it doesn't get any more epic fail than that
I get in trouble if I try to ship cigarette lighters, but the government can ship nuclear nose cones.
Seriously! I bought my house in a location specifically because I could get FIOS.
Yes, I bought a house for my internet connection

Nothing to see here, move along... I apparently was so hopeful my eyes left out the deputy part of the headline
YAY!!! He just resigned!!! (saw it on Reuters)
Sure am glad I am moving to Sweden.
