Excuse me but I am not going to set up my own DNS. I have a laptop that I use at many locations, all with slow DNS resolution (Videotron and Bell, anyone?) and Google provides me with a fast, easily accessible DNS that makes everything snappy and doesn't redirect to some stupid ad page when I mistype.
Electronic Box is perhaps the best and the least known of all services providers in Quebec. Based in Sherbrooke, its services and support are out-of-this-world compared to the big three. It also offers custom connections and many tech-savvy options.
I've always been buying keyboards without the special windows key, but remmaping the caps lock to it. It feels much better! I also wish GNU Desktops would make use of such special key for shell commands and such (win+l locks, win+e browses etc.). The keyboard has so many useless keys, we're better off recycling them!
I am currently studying and researching the matter, and here is a very good example about the _arguably philosophical_ roots of such a problem (in french):
>Not all WiMAX operators are unhappy. > >Internode says an Airspan-supplied network is providing consistent average speeds of 6Mbps at >distances up to 30km, with CEO Simon Hackett describing the platform as "proven."
So where exactly lies the problem? Implementation?
I was moved by this post, and now I need some more light. Where are the good designs? Where is the bleeding edge in OSS? Where are its foundations?
Not unlike politics, religion or science, we sometimes need a leader --one with a superior speech, one that can move our imagination and gather our ideas.
There is very little new in computer design but the renewal of our innocence --great designs are vanishing as new opportunities are created. Who will make the link?
I think there is a lot to be done in educating our common sense and protect its not-so-trivial and underlying concepts. But we need to unite and find a voice through which it speaks. Else we sound just as confused and superfluous as our opponents are...
Please, mod the parent up! As a designer, I for one, highly regard the modern style of thinkpads as superior to the ephemeral flash of super-glamorous apples (so fast rotten...)

Still offtopic, but old? I'm 25 and french speaking! This sort of music still has a very strong niche market among musicians and, rest assured, the genre and its few potent representatives are not going to be forgetten anytime soon.

This sounds almost right... if their core market understands anything about the app they buy (under the most attractive fact that this app is being the de facto choice, of course)
The title sound like popular science (con)descending from the ultimate knowledge heavens.
God, everybody knows that breaking cars cause jams when cars are packed and spaced evenly and in a row long enough -- and if mathematical models were few, it's because of the obvious triviality of its concerns.
This is a bit silly an argument, as making knowledge a matter of randomness or design doesn't issues the "real" deal. What IS? Atoms and forks, for sure, but just how much these things each stand to be things?
Ralph, you might be interested not to fall yourself into the trap of abdicating to such words as "true, real, exists, etc." out of their very linguistic context (and their intrinsic fallacies)!
Well, yes, but ALL the money, at least in this case, goes to china. IBM also sold their designs, wich where very good, but I doubt lenovo keeps them for long, or know how to make them evolve like IBM did!
Well, from my opinion, it would not be surprising to see such statement be made without further thinking. Montréal is so busy with old infrastructures, it can't afford to think of the future!
Ah, sacrés québécois!
Yeah, this is the gettho effect. The question is exactly "how fun is a gettho after all" when you know that open networks are so much better to structure information and have a valuable learning and discovery experience. FB is not a place for intellec, it's mearly a funny phone book with privacy concerns.

It would if the UI scaled gracefully.
Export your data to XML or PDF on the fly and have something sensible print it.

It's not so much about "readability" (I can read lots of text superfast) as it's about "readability" (I can poinpoint stuff in code structure easily).
Anyway, Consolas rules my world.

You can check out http://marsey.org/ for a natural-language proof very close (in essence) to Goedel's.
Hell yeah. One of the most efficient interface I came upon, if only because it is so trite and ubiquitous!
You want to check the Motofone F3 by Motorola. Then why not apply Braille to the keyboard? It's a simple mod. Any commercial options?
I use key tweak:

Apart from the fact that I don't get this comment about baths, it doesn't seem I get modded much either.

Very nice signature btw. GG?

This is very well said! Now try to do the same with divine matters...
"Sex is divine" suddenly sound very heretic to some ears! Opinions, science, religion, they all sometimes fail to stay cool.
>is that scientists at least try to prove themselves wrong.
Well said. But this is also the case of religious a priori (as in philosophy).
