you could also say the same of suprnova, when it went down a few years back it was heralded as the "end of bittorrent", but then up came tpb to fill the gap, if tpb goes down someone else will fill the gap (there are so many others right now that it is hard to count) and new protocols will replace the old and life goes on-
I think that the support issue you will end up finding won't come from the OS manufacturers, but from software developers, I have already seen a few apps (in the audio production world) that are having issues with XP but run on vista simply because the developers are writing the software primarily for vista/win7 and porting to XP, as this becomes more common it will be what moves users (myself included) off to win7, and really is how users got moved from win98 and 2000 to xp in the first place- hell it took me a good year or two to move from 2000 pro to xp after it came out
I think that niche is the main thing, the main thing about webapps is the fact that the "web" portion of it is usually the crap portion, in my experience with using webapps (usually it has been with form based time tracking for billing or project statistics and planning) it is always slow as hell and prone to crashes since rather than accessing a local data source or network based data source for the db making the weak link the data transmission between the client and the server- hence the applications would often fail to update and crash or take so long updating that they were extremely painful to use. It seems that any enterprise solution of a webapp would be better served by running the application on a LAN and having the server dynamically update behind the scenes, as well for things to be done out of office you could locally cache the forms and have the entire form update or load the form once it is completed and completely bypass the slowness and buggyness- but it wouldn't be a webapp anymore yet again just a local app that is transmitting data over the tubes.
as unpopular as it is to say so, I have to agree, I personally haven't found a single useful webapp for what I normally do, I see the usefulness of intranet server based apps, but webapps are generally useless, slow, buggy and problematic
I really liked the blade runner sequel novel- it tried to bridge the phillip k dick, strange drug induced story with the movie and did a decent job at that, they should use it if they are going to make another movie rather than make up some silly story
the funny thing is that I am a musician who does breakcore/glitch/powernoise stuff and I am gonna try it out to see what kind of weird tweaks I can get by layering screwed up saples over it.... and then mangle it to hell
here in California Arnie Governator instituted a hiring freeze and layoff for all state departments due to the budget shortfall, so there is no silver lining here (my wife works for the state and is a union steward so I hear it all) - no one is getting hired- and the phone systems are useless- I got laid off and had a problem with my claim's paperwork- after 4 days of trying to get through for about 4 hours each day I finally gave up and sent a letter- who knows where that is going.....
does it do some good, yes, but when I posted a reference to my band on it a long time ago, it was banned by someone that no longer works there and it cannot be "unbanned" because my entry was the only one posted in 5 days on wikipedia- since then I am all over the place, but I am permanently banned
In the USA, we are supposedly innocent until proven guilty in a court of law
did your teacher also tell you the difference between civil and criminal law?
because people that are accused by the RIAA are not being brought on criminal charges, they are charges of civil liability- hence there is no 'guilty'. IS the RIAA breaking the law? yes
they are using the civil litigation system as an extortion tool since regardless of whether the defendants did anything wrong, most cannot afford the time or money to fight the court battles, but in the civil system there is no innocent or guilty.
Because hard drives never die, windows never fubars, and people never run out of disk space and delete things they can later reinstall.
you forgot one, securerom recognizes a new video card as a new install- so if you get the game and need to upgrade your card to run it- you just blew 2 installs- happened to a lot of ppl with the mass effect install
I usually get 250- 500k, but with no "filesharing" happening at all I use about 80 gigs a month on my main machine only- it tends to be gaming and streaming video (a morning of looking @ gametrailers.com set me back 5 gigs one time)as well as software updates
Actually, my spam on myspace has dropped to nill for the past few months. It used to be everytime I logged in there was 3-4 hot girls that wanted to be my friend which was of course just an advertisement for a pay site
I still get about 2-3 a day, I mark them as spam as well- maybe it is number of friends (more paths to search) or something, don't know
we have 4 full time IT staff for 120 (roughly) people 3.333...%. they are ridden like ponies, but then all of us try to do as much of the IT as we can on our machines to help out-
Any DRM scheme falls under this heading. If I can play it on my computer (or another electronic device), I can copy it.
as I see it this should come under fair use the same as recording a radio or television broadcast- it separates itself from file sharing oriented piracy in the respect that the copyright holder has put this file up for public consumption, so they are de facto giving permission for personal use whereas p2p arguments fall under distribution.
Games with very good demos (remember Starcraft?) I tend to buy (back before children when I still bought games). If the demo is ridiculously limited or non-existent, I often would just "try" it with the pirated version and then never bother buying the game - 'cause, hey, I already have it and I'm lazy and cheap.
I have had a number of games that I have "stolen" where I didn't buy the game simply because I wanted to see what they were like, but enjoyed it, but you know what- I bought successors to the games- cases: GTA, starcraft, the sims, puzzlequest (pirated the psp, bought the pc), portal (pirated the pc, bought the ps3 orange box) - even going to consoles like dreamcast where a pirated version of soulcalibur got me hooked and the list goes on and on- for those of us that do game a bunch in our free time, I don't see that we should be penalized for pilfering crap, when having the cracked versions really does make us want to buy stuff from the manufacturer, though I have to say that of the games that I have grabbed I would prolly rate about 20% of them as decent enough to keep playing beyond the first level or 2.
How that can end badly? Especially since McCain Foods is the world's largest producer
of frozen French fries and the manufacturer of other quality food products sold in more than 110 countries.
hmm..... maybe mccain.com is not john mccain's site......
Undercover cops buy drugs and the state doesn't have to prosecute them for buying them.
in civil investigations you do not have the same rights that a cop does- any more than you would be able to randomly start breaking down doors corporations need to realize this and step within the law in order to execute their rights or they are subject to the same penalties as the average citizen
when do searches it finds a lot of things that google doesn't return as well as not returning things that google does- it seems neat, but at this point isn't so much as a replacement as it is something that I would look at in addition to google

The PS3 will never be $100. Just like the Xbox was never $100
it is less than $100 now, and xbox 1 was the last generation same as the ps2 is last generation-

the book wouldn't help you get it, the book is a totally different thing from the movie...
