And it doesn't even fit in smaller windows (about 800 x 600) properly. I thought HTML designers have finally realized that putting the ENTIRE page in table tags is just not a cool thing to do, edpecially when it's a page as big as linuxgames. If you need to align columns over the entire page just use style sheets, that's what they're for.
I wonder if the mouse is running Windows CE?:) It would be pretty funny if my mouse crashed.
Well, even though it's a fast rate of sampling, would it not be possible to create a situation where the DSP gets confused? Could the mouse suddenly think it's being poved in a different direction?
It would be really cool if they could minaturize the same systems the new cars have, that funky new traction control setup which detects driving/handling anomalities via momentum sensors or whatever those are called. Now your mouse would go exactly where you want it to. Just what I need for team fortress!
Oh yeah, I was reading that part and was thinking... does he expect people will recall the IE vs Netscape incident, or hopes most will not? The later is my guess. Those who don't miss this ironic statemtent will probably chuckle (like myself) while the clueless ones won't give it a second thought. After all, the browser war has been decided quite a few months ago now, and with both browsers being essentially free to the average consumer, most people don't even have the background to appeciate that comment. 'Well, of course everyone's using IE, it's a superior browser, isn't it?' (Says he as his Netscape thrashes the disk for the 10th time this hour... I'll have to fix that.)
Somehow I doubt that whatever Linus is working on will be freely given away. That guy is saying that free software (notice it's not just open source) is not self sustaining, and I would agree with that. It costs a lot of money to develop software, especially good software. Any company that manages to accomplish it will not just GIVE it away, as much as they'd like to. They have to put food on the table after all.
Well, it's a little like a smoothing filter on a graphics package, isn't it. You want to reduce the amount of noise in an image, and while the resulting output is (hopefully) more pleasing to look at, there is some detail lost. You no longer see those evil pixels that were distorting the details, but you also miss out on those ones that WERE the details. So that one in a hundred AC post you will miss is perhaps an acceptable amount of information loss to you. Perhaps the filtered image now contains MORE information than it did with all the noise in it, now that it's all easier to find and the big picture makes more sense.
Just one of the things to mull over next time you fire up Gimp to do some photo retouching;)
Whatever happened to the innocent until proven guilty rule? Does it somehow not apply here just because we are talking about Microsoft? If it is found guilty, then yes, until such time the corporation did not do anything wrong. So it did not forfeit any rights, as long as it remains innocent.
You're talking windoze users here... who would bother to telnet into a box, learn arcane command line magic, ftp files back and forth, just to remotely print? This ipp might be just like sending an email, except to a printer not a mailserver.

Aha! As of a couple of months ago, the world is officially urban. Over 50% of the world's population now lives in cities.

It's the horribly innovative, terribly useful middle mouse butt^H^H^H^Hwheel.
