It's so secure Homeland Security is only sent ONE copy automatically. Wow that's good!
I use Google spreadsheet for tracking some clan items in a game, but that's just about as far as I would ever trust Google.
I understand their target(ed) market(ing) is kids who frankly just need to write about sex and drugs, but for any business, or really any adult, Google is just not an option at all.
Still, tis damn cool to have the collaboration of UNIX apps from the 80's... ON THE WEB. It's double cool because nobody that works at Google is old enough to know that;)
OK, so I have a Dish PVR, so does everyone else I know, others have MythTV, never met anyone with a Tivo *shrugs* maybe becasue they cost a fortune (all going to lawyers) and doesnt come with any TV programming?
It's the only way I'd watch any TV ever. Without that.. well, there is just never anything on when I'm around to watch it, so I'd just have to cancel the service entirely.
So... Where is the site with the hack to make the functionality never go away?
What finally did it? The dupes? The cut&paste? The complete misreprentation of nearly every news item? That they link to a page with 50 ads that cut&paste the news release instead of the news release?
That's why they are also moving to a first-to-file model. Prior art no longer matters, all that matters is who pays the $50k++++ it takes to do a patent these days.
That fee will likely increase greatly, since with any sort of real reviewing, almost no patent would ever make it. Less patents, higher fees each.
Frankly, patents don't matter for a hill of beans anymore. China doesnt honor them, and noone else is good enough about allowing slave and prison labor to make their costs low enough. Every movie, product, idea is out and copied in China before it's even available here. What did you think the whole "software as service" thing was all about - copy protection.
Anyway, noone here will ever afford one, so no worries. Whatever it is is already at Walmart for $2:)
"functional economies not exploited by chinese-farmers"
Sorry, those days are long gone. Now MMO players just hope for games not completely controlled by chinese-farmers. Those games too are getting very very rare.
Use and more specificly write _valid_ RFC 2445 compliant (aka iCal) files. Last I checked, Sunbird kinda made up it's own almost-close format, making it's own little walled garden.
And didn't they ditch iCal support in.3 in favor of their own custom format someone decided was cooler? Some of us actually use and crosslink the files from our calendar program, phpicalendar, email etc, and this was a rather fatal mistake by the Mozillians that made it useless.
Good thing every other mail/calendaring program on the planet now supports the format, correctly usually, and stores things in it. I'm afraid in this case the open source solution is light years behind Apple (no surprise) and even Microsoft (they arent even trying).
People steal/clone the server code through various means (read: insiders sell it) and then all of your paying customers leave for free servers.
Lineage 2 is just one game suffering this problem. There are 10x+ more people on free (as in stolen server binaries, not clones) servers as there are on the official servers. The official servers are just left with Chinese farmers that sell on ebay, which forces more players out... and you get a nice death spiral. It's not specific in any way to a game, this is happening to all subscription-based games.
Bottom line, current culture says you never pay for anything, because you can always download it for free. And people wonder why there is nothing but cheap crap available - and they aren't even willing to pay for that.
To put that into perspective, consider that the Blue Gene/L has 65536 processors. seti@home has over a million hosts and folding@home has a couple hundred thousand more.
Try comparing active hosts to active host. SETI "active" means anyone they have ever seen, and always has. Just compare TFLOPS. Folding@home has been larger for a very long time, tho SETI may be catching up, depending on how much you bend their stats.
Of course, if you compare USEFUL results, it's Folding@home: lots (over 50 papers), SETI: 0
The Japan box will be faster for a little while then Folding@home, but will also likely produce RESULTS instead of just alot of global warming.

Darn right.
"to the point of canceling almost all of our GotoMyPC accounts"
You do realize Remote Desktop is built into windows? And that VNC is free? And both do what GotoMyPC does only better?
Climb down out of that sucker tree!

"Was all of the hype about blogger power just that -- hype?"
Yes. That's the point isn't it, those bloggers are at home in their parents basements, not out on dates seeing movies.
News flash, couch potatos underrepresented at the Boston marathon...
Maybe if there were some mother******* snakes in the mother******* basements?
Haha, no way.
They'd hire an INTERN to do it and pay them nothing.

Exactly, it's been shown over and over and over again that fingerprints are trivial to fake.
And ANYTHING done remotely is insecure unless you control the hardware, and you can't.
Rather amusing that people still try this crap.

Wait, you actually still think they are trying...

!@#$%!@$ They are all available only via torrent.

That 3MB is gonna take all day
It looks like all the winners are just some application that already works just fine, in a VM.
That's great and all, but wouldnt it work EXACTLY the same if you did an "install with defaults" on your normal system?
Just saying, you might save 500MB, or even 900MB of download in some cases. One is only 3MB, wow!
Soon there will be news of your server room melting into the Earth's core from the heat.
This will happen 4 times before they plan to do a recall, thus the name "quad core".
What if I don't want to wait 30 minutes and use 1GB of RAM for a trivial 3MB file I want to compress?
Compressing 1GB... ETA March 2036... please wait.

Enough with the 2.0 already.

"MySpace currently reports just over 99 million members, with 500,000 new members each week." - from myspace wikipedia page
:)
That just means 5% make a new profile each week, and they stop counting when a profile is erased for 5 weeks.
Kids do that, try out new identities all the time, change names, interests, etc. It's 100% normal teen behaivior.
It's great for inflating your numbers if you're a website that hosts them tho
Now all of our textbooks will get to look like this:
That should double their GDP!
If you can just take their n^3 algorithm (with quantum it's more like n^8), and make it n^2, you can do all that on your desktop :)
Not all progress needs to be brute force. But brute force is much more fun to brag about.

If you subtract the real live journalists who happen to now use "blog" format - also known for the last century or more as a news feed...
Then that 5% becomes... 0%.
Funny how that works out.
