The Scroll Lock key was meant to lock all scrolling techniques, and is a remnant from the original IBM PC keyboard, though it is not used by most modern-day software. In the original design, Scroll Lock was intended to modify the behavior of the arrow keys. When the Scroll Lock mode was on, the arrow keys would scroll the contents of a text window instead of moving the cursor. In this usage, Scroll Lock is a toggling lock key like Num Lock or Caps Lock, which have a state that persists after the key is released.
whatever happened to the super cheap runs on air and Linux netbooks? Those things were supposed to take the netbook market by storm and save us form global warming. Where are they now?
But I also remember downloading stuff from the usenet alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.* newsgroups and needing to edit out the headers, cat them together, and then run the whole thing through uudecode. Good times -- that's partly how I learned vi.;-)
Jeez, didn't your local 7-11 carry porn magazines?
Another case that I'm aware of involved an agreement that a couple made with them years ago, and the IRS recently came back and said, "the agent who made that agreement didn't have the authority to do it.
OK, I'm not a lawyer or anything but.... Doesn't that make it basically impossible to make a contract with anyone? If you at any moment can pop up and say "that guy wasn't allowed to do that"? And that goes for anything that qualifies for a contract, even the receipt you get when shop for groceries. Unless of course the contract in-it-self is illegal.
Most games AFAIK the gamers them selves pay for the online services. TF2 or basically any other Valve game are always on dedicated servers (are there official servers that Valve pay for?). BF:BC2 also, MW2 has that fuckup one player has to host. Someone is definitely paying for online services, but its not the makers of the games.
I don't understand why anyone would put a cat in microwave or washing machine. But I can easily understand why someone would use Facebook as a place to store photos.
wow wow wow... hold your horses there fella! Before you that far you gotta take a college course in software patents and why they're bad. And then install the right codecs. And dont even think about cheating and just downloading vlc, you can bet your ass we crippled that fucker before he was even born!!!
3: Basic honesty. For almost all home users, MSE is good enough. Getting a commercial AV solution is pointless because most infections end up being 0-day variants that AV products will not catch. Instead, educating the end user on Adblock and sandboxie will go a lot further to prevent calls in the future about infected machines. The $50-$100 that a user would spend on an AV solution can go for an external hard drive (which actually has a tangible benefit to the user) for nightly backups.
And that's the reason why there are very few real "PC repair professional"... Free (price not GNU) AV software DOESNT PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE!
4: Common sense.
This, there is also very little of. But unlike free AV software, the lack of common sense does put food on the table.
No one but geeks use the OS, the rest use applications. The bottom line is no matter what OS you're going to be clicking stuff on screen in one way or the other, that's easy. And you're going to be inputting data in one way or the other, depending on the application that can be harder. Keyboards are easy to use if you're used one before same goes for mice. The biggest questions usually are 'will my documents that I've created in X work in Z?', and if not ' how can I make them work?'.
By switching the company is probably saving somewhere between 500K-1M€ per year in licensing costs. Maintenance and support costs probably wont change much.
The iPhone interface is kind of cool.
We should do something like that.
If we do squares people will realize we are just copying Apple.
Let's do circles instead.
Let's do it!
Where did you hear this? We had NDA's! Steve's gonna go haywire when he hears about this!
2 songs on the list has the word fuck, 1 s & m, 1 tonight im loving you and one Black and yellow
yea only half of the songs are about sex. OTOH thats the way its always been...whole lotta love
What I usually do is connect the printer and wait for the MS hardware wizard then insert the disc and let the wizard do the rest. Has worked for me so far. Some manufacturers only ship the driver as.exe file which you usually can get around by letting it decompress and look for the.inf file there.
I wonder if this whole vote with your wallet even works anymore.... People not buying the DLC and the fat guys in suits are gonna think there was too much content included in the shipped game to begin with. What we need most of all I think is a modchip for the PS3, the game houses have had a free ride for far to long. Piracy is the only real competition these days.

Have you tried Opera?
And oddy enough it works better than most distros...imagine that!

Were not going backwards...were just going forward in a different direction.
I dont think the registry is such a bad idea at all. The problem is devs write programs that save settings there.

FFS its saturday! You cant talk that shit on a saturday! Is nothing holy to you..
Let me know when your favorite MS Office alternative can open and flawlessly display every Office file that I have, or may receive from somebody else.
Yes, I can provide that service. How much are you willing to pay?
Are you saying 10 isnt a poop sex song?

I always thought it was cheap to create all those HP xyz applets and that's why they're on the computer.

couldnt this be used to boost solar cells?
I'm guessing they blamed TV.
But.. they have a video and everything.
When people realise this, and stop buying DLC.
