Since I stared Launchy I always press alt-space when I want to run a program, which sometimes causes a few seconds of confusion when using the computers at my university.
I have even stopped trying to keep the start menu in order, as I never use it anyway;)
I think you are right.
Especially talking about the controls.
As somebody said in an article, the gamers today have been slowly brought up with more and more buttons and controls:
NES had 2 Buttons => SNES which had 6 buttons => Playstation 8 buttons (and later analogue joysticks with two "buttons") and so on.
I mean I had some trouble to use two buttons when I was small, but going directly for 8? Half impossible if you ask me...
We've had this feature in Sweden for years now. It was one of these new "cool" features when we got our 3G networks.
So in the beginning some people used it for the novelty factor, but nowadays it's mostly used by friends who are bored and have nothing else to do than video chat =P.
BUT. I guess a lot of people with problems hearing still use and love this feature. And as a lot of phones have this built in and the networks support the feature, I wouldn't say it's "wasted".
It may not be used by the masses, but the most people using it really like and need the feature, and AFAIK there is no large expenses for the carriers/phone manufacturers. So it's not "wasted" as much as "only really usable by a few".
Most articles also mention that the video was classified by the US Military. Of course some articles contain the bullshit from the US Military spokesperson.
Or use the video call function that was one of the most hyped new things when Sweden launched their 3G networks.
Which naturally youngsters and deaf people just love (in no special order/grouping).
God forbid.
Yeah, flashcards is great. Write the character on one side, the English on top on the other side and the pinyin (pronunciation) on the bottom of the other side. Keep your thumb over the pinyin and learn it from English to pinyin/character. Usually you learn the other way around too, if not then just turn the card and try to translate/say the characters.
Also "since there is no relation between sound and shape of the characters" is absolutely wrong...
I have studied Chinese for 3 years and nowadays if I can't read a character I just guess the sound is similar to similar characters and more often than not you actually succeed in some way. The radical of the character tells you what the word is about, the other part may sometimes give you a good clue about pronunciation.
Well. Officially there is only Class 6 so far, that's true.
But as Class 6 is a pretty old classification stating the lowest write speed there are today faster cards than that.
For example: I am currently using a "Sandisk Extreme 30 MB/s-edition" in my camera which Sandisk calls "Class 10" (and has been shown to perform at 20 MB/s in some cameras and card readers). But "officially" it's only a Class 6 card, as there is no official Class (from the SD standards) above Class 6.
So it's true that Class 6 is the "highest-lowest speed" class right now, promising speeds from 6 MB/s and up, but the highest speeds go up to 20 MB/s nowadays.
I heard somewhere that Sweden already have some regulation like this (I am a swede btw)
But I havn't really found some official source confirming this...
Why would they implement it this week? The new law in Sweden doesn't apply until jan 2009...
Suddenly thinking of everyone else who want encryption to TPB around the world?
The following contributions have been generously made through PayPal to KDE using the KDE Contribution form. We thank the donors listed below for their support! (Emphasis mine).
I don't know if KDE gets money from other sources but that is only the paypal donations through a special form.
I may be wrong though but I don't think this is all the money they get...
When I was deciding on what laptop to buy I had the same problem.
I didn't really care about the glossy/matte thing (but matte felt more right as I've understood that glossy screens are a pain in sunligt, and I wanted to be able to use my laptop outside at our summer house).
But finding a good laptop with more than 1280x800 was a pain.
In the end I took a 15" HP 6710b with 1680x1050 (I would rather have had a 1400x1050 as my first HP laptop though, but that choice wasn't possible).
Slashdot Mirror
One reason could be that it mostly affect US citizens. SOPA would have affected everyone who had access to the internet (at least .com-adresses).
So what for the kids who want to email their Grandparents (the the girl in TFA?) =)
This.

I think this very well explain why the Facebook Android App is so bad.
It auto loads images whether you want it or not and all notifications link to the touch.facebook.com homepage.
(Not to speak of the "always keep phone awake draining battery"-bug that the last version suffered from).
Are you possibly aware of the word "Whoosh?". If not I can recommend urban dictionary.
Well... from what I've read it's the other way around with the percentage.
That is 20% to you and 80% to them.
I think you are right.

This is not the article you are looking for.
Depends on what you call MAJOR.
Most of of the large newspapers in Sweden has picked up the story (all in Swedish of course):
http://www.expressen.se/Nyheter/1.1941889/video-pastas-visa-usa-soldater-som-skjuter-ner-irakier
http://www.dn.se/nyheter/varlden/video-av-massaker-publicerad-pa-natet-1.1072665
http://www.svd.se/nyheter/utrikes/video-visar-hur-civila-dodades_4525379.svd
Some, like the last one even has it as the first news on their main page. The same page also says that the article are taken from TT the largest Swedish news agency.
Most articles also mention that the video was classified by the US Military. Of course some articles contain the bullshit from the US Military spokesperson.
Or use the video call function that was one of the most hyped new things when Sweden launched their 3G networks. Which naturally youngsters and deaf people just love (in no special order/grouping). God forbid.

You must be new here.
At the time of posting, the parent was appropriately rated 1, Redundant.

Suddenly thinking of everyone else who want encryption to TPB around the world?
But some encryption can be broken.
Especially if you have the the eleventh fastest computer in the world (and yes, I've heard that just that computer was bought for reasons like this new law)
Same for my HP 6710b (with vista).
I don't know if KDE gets money from other sources but that is only the paypal donations through a special form.
I may be wrong though but I don't think this is all the money they get...
I saw some youtube videos of things like this
But if you want the real deal (i.e. a game) you need not to look further for Flute Hero!
(and for all you real geeks look at the volume knob *hinthint*)
Yeah, because everyone knows that Jesus helped Solomon with his temple improvements =P
And the strip. Which are the main part of the page...
