Ummm, I hate the Beatles and even i know you're completely wrong. While My Guitar Gently Weeps was on the White Album, which I'm fairly certain was a Beatles album not a George Harrison album. He did write it, and Clapton did play lead guitar on the studio version, but it was still a Beatles song.
except the abusers are generally morons who dropped their cell phone in a toilet then dried it with a hairdryer and returned it saying 'it just stopped working'.
i dont think you get the point of antitrust legislation. It is not to set standards for all companies, it is to prevent massive companies from abusing their advantage to stifle competition. small companies are allowed to do pretty much whatever the hell they want, as simple market forces will determine their success. however, companies with a large enough market share gain the ability to control their own market forces and destroy all competition, hence the need for antitrust legislation to level the playing field back out. the reason the EU does not require Apple, Google, or KDE to do the same is simple, those companies don't have a monopoly on the OS market.
well, if anyone RTFA, there's an even more interesting quote from Palm:
Palm believes that openness and interoperability offer better experiences for users by allowing them the freedom to use the content they own without interference across devices and services, so on behalf of consumers, we have notified the USB Implementers Forum of what we believe is improper use of the Vendor ID number by another member.
Looks like Palm really is ready to turn this into a war.
In this case, that is not quite what 'liquidity' means. When you discuss 'the liquidity of assets' you're generally referring to how easily and cost effectively those assets can be converted into cash or other, spendable assets. However, liquidity of a stock/bond/credit in this context is referring to how much that market is actively being traded. A liquid market is constantly moving, an non liquid market is stagnant. Theoretically, the more liquid a market is, the closer it's price is to its actual market value. This is related to the other kind of liquidity, as if you have an investment in a stagnant market, it would be very difficult to sell and turn into cash, but in a financial market context, that's not really what they're referring to.
He said buy back, not return. Walk in to blockbuster/gamestop/[insert your local used game store here] with a bunch of console games and you'll walk out with cash (albeit not nearly what you paid originally). Walk in with a bunch of PC games and you'll walk out with... a bunch of PC games.
You do know that you can back up to a 3rd party and still maintain sole access to the data, correct? All of our backups are encrypted using a 448bit key that only we have access to. If our backup provider is subpoenaed they can give all my data to whoever they want, it's just a meaningless binary blob.
just cuz the random game you bought didn't offer that feature doesnt mean the system doesnt have any games that offer it. in the future i would read a review first or, you know, look at the back of the box before you buy the game. both resistance games and COD5 offer offline split screen. im sure there are more, but those come immediately to mind.
No, if you RTFA article, on newer versions the overflow will still work, but require authentication, making it Important. On older versions the exploit can work with no authentication making it Critical. Microsoft has always used this labeling convention for patches.
This story is just ridiculous. It clearly states that this doesn't affect Enterprise users, as their URE rate is lower and unless they're idiots they use smaller drives. What home users will have 7 disk RAID 5 arrays of 2TB disks? Is this really a large enough percentage of RAID5 users to call for the death of it?
Clearly a general agreement you came to in a discussion with an unknown number of unnamed counterparts is just as good as a scientific study. If you want to make generalizations based on anecdotal evidence, I'm an American worker who's spent the last 3 weeks in London and France, and the amount of work these two offices get done in a given day is pathetic compared to what we do in the states.
well, if we want to keep up a really crappy car analogy: the guy doesn't steal one lincoln once, instead, everytime he needs to get somewhere, there's a linclon just sitting there. and he can take it, and he always puts it back exactly the same, so the dealer isn't losing anything. He goes and tells his friends how great the Lincoln is. They say, hey, i've got to get somewhere, i should get a linclon. but the original says no, don't buy a lincoln, i know somewhere where there's always a lincoln just sitting there, and you can just take it. don't worry, no one loses anything. and then they tell their friends, who tell their friends, and everyone takes the lincoln. the dealer still has the car (in this really crappy analogy, somehow the car is always there when the dealer needs it), but for some reason, no one wants to buy it anymore. everyone in town is driving a lincoln, but no one's buying one from the lincoln dealership. eventually, it closes down. now the market is still there for the cars, but there's no supply BECAUSE A BUNCH OF CHILDISH ASSHOLES DECIDE THEY'RE ENTITLED TO MORE SHIT THAN THEY CAN AFFORD.
never have mod points when you need them. I was scanning through this thread to figure out where to post exactly what you just said. I will add though, that early video games had simple gameplay mechanics that couldn't really be improved upon without making it a completely different game. Games today will see and endless amount of minor enhancements, improvements and spinoffs over the next many years. When most people look back at games from today, they will be weak early versions of current games. Games from the 80's will never have modern equivalents. That being said, it's not really a knock on today's games, they're still good, just someone else will make the same game but better sometime in the near future.
Hmmmm, now I'm confused. TFS says 1GB, the HiVision website lists the NB0700 as it's cheapest laptop, and a quick google search says the NB0700 is the "First $100 laptop." However, the specs on the NB0700 are very different than TFS.
it only has a 1GB HD. I think the idea is it's an appliance, not intended for you to really add apps to it. Theoretically it comes with what you need for what it's intended to do. It may or may not find a mass market, but only a subset of geeks will try to see what else they can run on it...
Zak and Wiki was a well funded, well advertised original IP in the vain of classic point and click adventures developed specifically for the Wii. It sold extremely poorly. I doubt we'll see studios lining up to make adventure games for the console. The simple fact is it was once a great genre and still has it's fans, but it's quasi interactive style just feels outdated in the modern gaming world.
yes, the whole point of this patch is to fix this problem. previously, if i successfully passed a bad record for safdsaus.example.com i could send glue records for www.example.com that would overwrite your cached record for www.example.com no matter what. with this patch i can only pass bad glue records if the ttl on your cached www.example.com record has expired. this gives an attacker a very narrow window during which they could mount this type of attack, likely making it not worth the effort.

if he made the exact same post 3 more times, he'd be perfect.
and this is a terrible idea how?

Vast majority of ISPs (Time Warner included) will not offer business services to residential addresses.

i'm not sure, but i'll let you know as soon as i finish cutting this electron in half.
hmm, maybe they should host getthefacts.com on a linux box, cuz it's definitely down.

yea, except the macbook doesn't come with an expresscard slot. the macbook pro does, but that already has a firewire port.
