how they failed to mention protected AAC files and the launch of the iTunes service is beyond me. How dare they call this a year in review and fail to mention iTunes.
agreed. My nokia 3650 that runs the Symbian Series 60 OS is the only cell phone I know that actually crashes, and you have to restart it. There have been several times that I actually had to format the phone's flash memory. I haven't had to reformat anything due to a crash since windows 98.
At first glance I thought they were going to use General Motors to control carp. I know GM used to be a huge Conglomerate corporation... but sheesh.... (Roger Moore fans, go easy on me please)
By the looks of the sugguestions here, people are pointing out to the PVR 250 and 350 series that runs between $135-$200 on froogle.
For that price you could pick up a decent Television to watch your movies and TV while you're trolling on/.
It would just make more sense to me.. unless you really want to turn your rig into a TiVo, i would just buy a TV. You'll most likely be using your extra hard disk space to rip movies from your camera anyway, not to save episodes of star trek. Let others do that and get them from kazaa =)
There haven't been any official statements that their new processors are going 939-pin.. that is a speculation by a few highly-voiced individuals and off-the-record statements
Kyle of HardOCP makes a bunch of speculations as to AMD's purpose for releasing these chips, and comes to basically the same conclusions that CNet does.
He sugguests that these chips are also just the ones that only had partial working cache (a portion of the cache was working, the other portion was not) and to save money they are selling these as a "budget" chip. Seems like a good idea to me!
It's so addictive, the Sirius manual actually refers to its customers as "users."
The author of the article says this as if no other companies call their customers users... If I'm not mistaken, ISPs have called their customers users (you're given a user name...) for years.
Microsoft releases service packs regularly for Windows that are at least 350mb in size... usually bigger. There is clearly something wrong with the LG drives if they are able to be destroyed by software. How on earth you implied linux destroys hardware, I will never know. The only relevant observation i see here is that software destroyed the drive.. not linux. It could have easily been a flaw in Windows that did this.
maybe it is aimed that people who are into outdoor recreational activities, such as overnight hiking... although they probably wouldn't get very good cell phone service when you're 30000 feet above sea level
this would definately not be a practical solution to the "common household", since your average mom/dad or 12 year old boy really (god forbid his 11 year old sister) dosen't know much about linux
"If they are a cashier at 7-Eleven and they are applying for a national sales manager [position]... it is pretty obvious whether they fit or not," Snyder said.
Is it just me, or is this the most worthless and judgemental statement in the world? I'm assuming Snyder meant that they will not fit, and this is just absolutely pre-judging a person before he knows anything about them. What if they are working at a 7-11 as a senior in college, just as a part-time job? They could be very well qualified for the position, probably even better than the schmuck they ended up hiring who might have 4-years experience working in the "real world". Sure, the person with 4- years is probably better well-prepared for the job, but what's to say that the person working at the 7-11 won't turn out to be a better National Sales Manager after he learns the ropes?
Employers it seems to me, fail to realize the potential in some job candidates more often than when they do realize potential.
I have to say that this is a very interesting read. It portrays the spammer's point of view. Some of the points in the article actually make a lot of sense. We do get lots of junk mail from the u.s. post office (they could easily filter that, but they don't), yet we complain about spam the most... why?
I thought that was an interesting point. Although this article doesn't go into too much technical detail, it provided some insight into the business aspects of this which I don't particularly agree with ethically. Sure, it's a very easy way to make money if you know what you're doing, but it's still violating people's privacy by sending them unwanted messages.
Another thought... If your regulary Joe (the guy in this article) can find ways to become a spammer in 5-6 months of research, why can't the government do its own investigations and just put a stop to these facilitating network groups? I thought there were laws against spam in the U.S.
Plus, modern IDEs like IntelliJ make it very easy to construct iterators and such
Yes.. but Eclipse has some EXTREMELY nice features, including but not limited to CVS retrieval/storage, C/C++ Programming extensions, variable/class finders, integrated jar/javadoc creation, and all the features you mentioned intelliJ had you can also find with Eclipse. I would reccomend this over intelliJ anyday for its c/c++ support alone.

These cases were also featured at quakecon 2003 (pic)... just a nifty little tidbit..
yes, that is a computer. Yes, it looks like an airplane... yes it works =) I saw it working with my own two eyes.

If I had mod points I would be modding this post up. Good luck to you in the future, my friend!

an x86 laptop would be even cheaper than the iBook as well
please tell the author of this post to rtfa =) thanks much!!!
Winamp3 has always had OGG support
7. ???
8. Profit!

I guess it beats using my old nokia green blacklit screen to find my missing contact when it falls out at the movies...
No, i'm not.. but I'm saying he shouldn't be immediately ruled out just because of that fact alone.
this would definately not be a practical solution to the "common household", since your average mom/dad or 12 year old boy really (god forbid his 11 year old sister) dosen't know much about linux

shhh!! Don't tell Microsoft! They still think they're all that and a bag of chips!
