They could always do what they did with the component cable (which is what I currently use) and price it higher. That way only those people that care would spend the extra cash.
An HDMI cable. Every other device connected to the TV has one, but the Wii insists on converting to analogue and back again. I can't think of any reason why this would be terribly expensive or difficult to do. They wouldn't even need to support higher resolutions - just the same ones over HDMI.
Security expert wants a more secure system. Freedom experts want a free system. Unsurprisingly these two views clash - because they are designing things for different use cases.
But then static languages have to duplicate the template code for each type that it handles. That's not how Generics are handled in.Net - the code is duplicated for value types, but the same code is re-used for reference types.
E-ink, on the other hand, I find as easy to read as paper, and when reading in short bursts I find it significantly handier, if for no other reason than it remembers exactly where I was, rather than me spending 30 seconds working out exactly where I was.
Well, unless you count the fact that collectively Wikipedia's articles have quite obviously been on a vector toward continual improvement since Wikipedia started.
If you're the kind of person who's springing for this kind of thing then you're probably running a 64-bit OS. That'd be my first port of call in this situation anyway, unless there was a good reason for restricting myself to the 32-bit version.
Word is mostly used for churning out throwaway documents. Excel is used for long term storage of data - and there's a _lot_ of VBA code out there pulling data out of ancient spreadsheets.
With Flash I arrive at a page and there's some content staring at me, waiting to be played with.
With this I arrive at a page, click on a "Jave Webstart" link, wait for it to download, wait while it says "Downloading Application" and then, if I'm lucky, get to play with something.
Not only that, but while Flash happily picks up my proxy settings, Java simply times out and gives an exception after a minute or so.
If everyone was capable of learning that, then yes. But not everyone is capable of getting a PhD, even with coaching.
The article's not talking about making it easier to get a qualification - it's talking about helping slower people to improve their abilities so that they can achieve more. Raising more people to get basic qualifications doesn't detract from people who are capable of more than that.
Besides which, if everyone had a PhD then the world would be a better place, because more people would understand research, and have a better idea of how the world works.
See, a PhD is an example of where that's completely untrue. A PhD certifies you as capable of doing original research and explaining it in a capable and academic manner. Whether other people have one or not, it's a sign that _you_ can.

Yup, absolutely. HDMI is fast becoming the standard interconnect for video to all displays. And it does sound too - what's not to like?

5 years? The HTC Dream was the first Android phone - and that was available in October 2008!
Not the programmer's fault.
If it wasn't properly specified and it wasn't properly tested then it's the fault of management for not making sure that processes were followed.
Mistakes happen - if they aren't picked up then it's the fault of the process.

Thank goodness I won't have to worry about relatives with MS Works any more!

House of the Dead: Overkill was great fun. Recommended for two player zombie-killing action, 70s style!

Aaah, well, if you're going to use an experimental OS :->
Hibernate saves the contents of memory to disk and then _turns off_ the computer.
Zero power usage, speedy restart.
This is certainly true of LED screens.
E-ink, on the other hand, I find as easy to read as paper, and when reading in short bursts I find it significantly handier, if for no other reason than it remembers exactly where I was, rather than me spending 30 seconds working out exactly where I was.
I, for one, am looking forward to the end of Battlestar Galactica in a few weeks time...

I can't see why I'd use this rather than just putting more memory in my machine...

This is hardly the user experience that I want...
Aaah, I assumed that the "will also let you hang yourself" bit meant "If you stray from the MVC path then you're doomed". Sorry!
...that MVS is _right_ and leaving that pattern is _wrong_.
Which is not always correct.
As I use a US mail provider, and TLS/SSL to connect to it. They can't tell what email I get.
Does putting it behind NAT entirely protect it?
Or are there worms out there that can bypass that?
