Simple as that... it solves everything, does away with patents and copyrights and allows anyone to work their way from nothing, selling whatever there is demand for.
that's different. Having money to purchase some capital, that money (presumably) came from production at some point, so assuming value for value, you could say they have contributed the same amount that the capital is "worth".
Hah. If it's just based on selection then they are going to get some really shoddy results from me. I appear to have selectitis... while reading text on a page I randomly select and deselect parts of the page. I'm not sure why, it's just like a nervous tick in my hand and I can't help it. It's not related to the part I'm reading.. normally the selection is above or below where I'm reading.
thirded/fourthed:) Redmine is good, although some things can be a bit of a pig to set up (adding a tracker to a project after it's been created, IIRC, took a lot of clicks)
Shutter glasses dim the image by half as well (on average). They allow light through every other frame and block it for the other, that results in half the light getting through (and personally, although it might just be the old equipment I was using, seemed to be less than half, when compared to polarized glasses)
I much prefer polarized glasses over shutter glasses, no power supply required, no syncing with the machine required and small thin glasses instead of silly glasses that look like safety goggles. You do have a point however that shutter glasses can work with existing display tech whereas polarized requires new hardware. However, if you plan on having multiple viewers, its probably cheaper to buy a new alternately polarized display and a bunch of cheap glasses, than to buy a bunch of expensive shutter glasses.
Middle click in window: paste clipboard buffer to URL bar and go
Interesting, I don't have this one.. obviously, I have the standard middle click to paste previously selected text, but that only works in an input form, not whenever I middle click on a page. But yes, I use it to open and close tabs. Webkit opens tabs on middle click but also triggers the javascript onclick event.
One place where this really bugs me is on slashdot. If I middle click on a post title to open it in its own tab, it doesnt open in a new tab but just expands/contracts like if I left clicked it because I guess the javascript event is returning false, which blocks the tab opening... forcing me to right click and "open in new tab"
Chromes extensions install without you having to restart the browser. if they crash, they crash only the extension, and they are also very easy to make (just javascript). I find the extension model much better than firefox's.
Unfortunately I can't stand webkit's middle click behaviour years of middle clicking on everything are not easily forgotten, so i'm sticking with firefox.
"BT and other ISPs agreed to send 1,000 notifications alleging copyright infringement a week for a 12-week trial period, with BT picking up the bill for this activity for our own customers as an act of goodwill. However, it was understood that at the end of this period, we would need to take stock and have further discussions with the rights holders about costs etc.
During this period, the BPI sent us around 21,000 alleged cases, but less than two-thirds proved to be properly matched to an IP address of a BT customer and not a duplicate, so this could indicate that the true extent of this activity is much lower than the 100,000 number the BPI claim since February. In addition since none of the customers we wrote to during the trial were subsequently taken to court by the BPI, we don't know whether they were actually guilty of infringement."
I never knew BT could actually sound reasonable. What a shame governments are still left trailing behind on common sense and decency.

Apple could be a very serious threat to Microsoft if they changed their attitude towards businesses.
exactly. which is why it makes no sense for microsoft to be behind psystar, who are pushing for apple to take that new attitude
Once they realize how many people are afraid in airports, they will quickly scrap this stupid idea.
No, it doesn't work like that. More false positives and inconvenience are never a problem for these people. That just means they can apply for more stolen^H^H^H^H^H^H^H government money to deal with the extra people.
People have been creating "governments" for longer than they have been participating in markets.
Excuse me? You think hunter-gatherers didn't trade food and supplies between each other? or between different hunter-gatherer societies? That is a market.
How about all pedal control?
Have it set up a bit like aircraft rudder pedals, except instead of toe-brakes you've got acceleration on one pedal and brake on the other, with turning by pushing them in like a rudder. Then it's hands free.
On that topic, I wonder if the fact that I knew the average was about $2 affected my price point. I didn't want to go below the average, but if the average was $1 I imagine I would have paid less.
I wonder if it would be improved by having an updating average price display showing the current average price, or if it would mean that the average would stay down low because seeing that other people are paying $2 or $1 makes it OK for anyone else to pay that low.
I wasn't at all arguing that old hardware becomes unusable, just that the GGP's post seemed to say (not explicitly, granted) that slowdown is only caused by software, which isn't entirely true.
That's true to some degree. But computers do slow down as they age. Components damaged by the constant heating cause more errors and therefore require retransmission or error correction, slowing things down.

Enjoy your unlimited servitude.
At least the Government takes care of things like National Defence, and keeping roads in working order.
Which you are forced to pay for whether you want them or not.
Companies will give you whatever they damn well feel like giving you.
Which you can choose to purchase or not.
See the difference here?

He didn't say he crashed blender. His graphics card/driver crashed when running blender. Very different things.
you get it checked out, and it passes all of the safety regulations in your given area.
that there is what the insurance companies would go after. Whoever checked out the seatbelt clearly did not do it right and they are responsible.
What? that doesn't make sense, unless the backlight/power of the crt is also doubled:
Imagine that the backlight is the same and also, for simplicity, lets say the power output of the light is 120x(units dont matter)
60Hz (60 refreshes/frames per second):
120/60 = 2x per frame = 2x*60 per eye = 120x per eye
120Hz (120 refreshes/frames per second):
120/120 = 1x per frame. 60 frames in each eye, means 1x * 60 = 60x per eye.
Intensity is half.

I am very impressed by the statement from BT:
A BT Spokesperson told ISPreview in September:
"BT and other ISPs agreed to send 1,000 notifications alleging copyright infringement a week for a 12-week trial period, with BT picking up the bill for this activity for our own customers as an act of goodwill. However, it was understood that at the end of this period, we would need to take stock and have further discussions with the rights holders about costs etc.
