Yeah because it's not like if the Libertarians or Progressive parties become dominant like the Dems and Repubs that they wouldn't just become corrupt themselves. No, no. They will defy all the thousands of years of politics and be the only groups of people ever to be incorruptable.
Partially true, but I'd say it's more of a backlash of the idea that we need to coddle everyone and suddenly start renaming a centuries old traditional holiday as something more generic so we don't offend people.
So we'll go back to calling it the Winter Solstice?
Yeah, I'm sure. Anyone who has to go out of their way to brag about their dick size on the internet is usually about 4-5 inches smaller than they claim.
I found all of those things simpler to do in Win7 than in say XP. Maybe your just incompetent? Let me guess, you're probably a geek squad tech? No wonder it was so hard for you. You probably lost the CD that does all the work for you.
Windows 7 easily has the most confusing, difficult to configure network properties of any Windows.
How so? You either plug in the cable and it does all the work (and setting your ip address, etc manually is equally easy as it has always been) or you choose a wireless point (enter your key) and it again does all the work for you. My grandma was able to get her laptop with Win7 to connect to the router I set up for her without any help. Why is it so hard for you?
Except he claims to have an allergy to wifi. If he shows no obvious allergy when he is unaware of the presence of wifi it would show to all how he is full of shit.
It's idle material for sure. The problem is that sampenzus has a bad habit of posting his crap outside of idle because he knows that 99.9% of slashdotters blocks that section.
the sum of all the various components was pushing 70-80K (yes, using the compressed versions).
Which takes all of.16 seconds on even a low-end 512k DSL/Cable connection. Even on dialup that's not even 2 seconds (but one would question why one would be going to a javascript heavy website on dialup).
I get complaints about being overly pedantic all the time, but this is really something. It's like asking "whats the point of having a pointing/clicking touchscreen interface similar to a mouse interface, but without having the mouse?".
Except that morgan greywolf said both that this wouldn't negate the need for a touchscreen but then went on to talk about having an iPhone where you didn't touch the screen.
So, they are a customer for less than one percent of the total electricity generation in the US, spread out over all utility markets in the country. That's probably too little to distort the market.
huge customer. To put this in perspective the city of Dallas, with 6 million people in it's metro area and is the 8th largest city in the US, consumes around.35% of the total energy produced.
Did you read what I responded to? morgan greywolf was telling me that this didn't negate having a touchscreen but then went on to say that it means you never touch the touchscreen. I was just trying to get clarification on this obvious discrepancy.
And that's why modern x86 processors are basically RISC processors with a decoder on them for legacy x86 instructions. Your comments haven't been insightful for quite some time now.

I want 3D boobies!
We've had those for a while now. They're called "women".

The problem with doing that is that sampenzus seems to be the one that handles posting book reviews which I tend to like to read.
Well of course it's not mistake. He knows that pretty much everyone blocks the idle section.
We care because sampenzus is posting idle shit outside of idle and cluttering up the other sections.
It's idle material for sure. The problem is that sampenzus has a bad habit of posting his crap outside of idle because he knows that 99.9% of slashdotters blocks that section.
Yeah, there is clearly no other country in the world up in arms over these scanners.
What does Microsoft have to do with this? Netscape was adding tons of bloat to its browser before IE ever existed.
This was posted by sampenzus. You expected something better?

And for people who want proof these are their 3 notable patents:
7058204 - Multiple camera control system. Filed: 09/26/2001. Issued: 06/06/2006
5534917 - Video image based control system. Filed: 05/09/1991. Issued: 07/09/1996
7227526 - Video-based image control system. Filed: 07/23/2001. Issued: 06/05/2007
prior art indeed, funny to see the same things reinvented again and again over the decades.
How can the Wii be prior art to patents that were filed before it existed?
No, certainly not...think "iPhone" without having to touch the screen.
So what's the point of having a touchscreen if you never touch it?
Since their patents predate the Wii, no.
Making it essentially a non-touch touch screen.
So thus negating the whole point of having a touchscreen in the first place?
I love the idea of my screen no longer being smudged.
Oh no! You have to spend all of 3 seconds to wipe off your screen occasionally.
