I don't think that all media are suitable for children. You need to be of age to buy alcohol, smoke cigarettes and rent porn. I don't see any reason why video games with sex and violence in them should be any different to movies.
Well, supporting home people will mean two kinds. And the business versions will be supported by the dedicated business people. So not actually that many to worry about...
I thought that the advantage of Open Source was that thousands of programmers all over the world were waiting to pounce on every bug and fix it instantly?
I've seen 3D IMAX films three times so far, and the glasses are, indeed, large. Which is good, because it meant they fitted over my glasses. But they aren't heavy, or unwieldy.
Modern 3D uses polarised light, with the left eye filtering out horizontalally polarised light, and the right eye filtering out the vertical. This means that a very light pair of plastic glasses can allow for proper 3D without changing the colours at all.
It's just the _end-user_ features that are out. There's still plenty of changes under the skin that need to be tested to see if the break anything.
If you're an application developer and want to make sure your code will still work on the next version of Windows then you'll be grabbing this and using it as a test-bed.
If you're just wanting to see the next version of Windows so you can gaze at the prettiness then it's not aimed at you...
Surely you'd be better off investing the money in more RAM for your PC, which could then use it as a cache for whatever was actually in use at the time.
I subscribe to around 50 different feeds, ranging from comics to news, and nobody made me sign up to any of them! If they stop being interesting, or start pushing obtrusive ads I'll drop them like any other information resource I don't want.

Is the language or tool going to stop working tomorrow?
Are the programs you write suddenly not going to work on Windows?
Then keep writing in VB6!
Possibly because people keep whining that when typing:
myClass exampleInstance = new myClass("Test");
that they have to type the word "myClass" twice.
This way you can presumably type
var exampleInstance = new myClass("Test");
Not sure it's a major saving though...
20kb for the version with a form with a button that pops up a Hello World Messagebox.
16kb for the Console version that just spits out "Hello World".

I'm over 18 - hand me my simulated chainsaw, and keep it clear of the children's market so that we don't have any more of these fusses.

I'd kill for a copy of Populous on the DS! The hand of god would finally be my hand!
Direct3D, while different to OpenGL, isn't so different that it's a nightmare to convert.
7-processor code, on the other hand, isn't going to be easy to convert to run on a single processor...
It's not truly cross-platform so it's out of question for any serious production environment.
Well, we're deploying numerous apps to several hundred desktops at my work, and it seems to work fine in production.
I run the domain ducker.org.uk for my family.
It's based in the US, because the hosting company (hostmatters.com) offered a good deal at the time.
So when I send an email from me (in Edinburgh) to my parents (near London) it goes via the US...
I could have sworn that Friday the 13th was Red/Green stereo.

It looks _fantastic_.
As someone who's been breaking into my neighbour's house to watch his TV for more than a year now, I really don't see a problem with doing it.
He doesn't watch his living room except for ten to twenty minutes in the morning and an hour or so at night - and he usually watches bad TV.
It's being wasted - why not use it?

I ask mostly because I did a search for Toronto and got several options in the US...
Because it's not the Millenium Edition?
If this was a mod, rather than just an unlock code for content they actually shipped out themselves, I'd agree with you...
So before people let their kids play games they should play the entire game through end-to-end and then check for online patches that unlock content?
Really?

All the time. Click and drag, then hold down the mouse button while I use Alt-Tab to switch to the right screen.
This does look like a nice idea though - it sounds a tad fiddly, but I'd be willing to give it a go.
My phone, PDA and MP3 player all recharge from USB...
The problem being that to the average person, "The Mozilla Foundation" isn't inherently any more trustworthy than "The GreaseMonkey Organisation".
They're both just webpages out there on the internet...
I was part of an intake of graduates being trained in mainframe programming two years ago. There's always a need for new coders...
