Quite a lot of mice are logitech mice. I wonder how many PC's have ever been built, and how many mice in total, to compare logitech with the other mouse brands.
It's 3D but you can't rotate the camera unless you turn an option on. Normally, all you can do is zoom.
I prefer the 2D gameplay with the 3D graphics so that at least your soldiers look nice no matter what direction they're standing.
If a chair would post on slashdot, it wouldn't be a chair, but a computer in the shape of a chair, or a human disguised as a chair. Therefore, chairs can't post on slashdot.
Why would a good movie, or a very interesting documentary, not be as long-term lasting as reading a good book? The things learned and seen from a good documentary can stay with you a whole lifetime!
Ok, I can't define why, but I like those names like "Dapper Drake" and stuff, but I don't like names like "Photoshop CS", "Windows XP", "Geforce 4 MX", "Office.NET". I don't know why this is, but I prefer numbers for e.g. Photoshop. But anyway, don't Ubuntu releases have version numbers in the name anyway and these random texts are just codenames of the releases?
I wish the real.NET could be installed on Wine. Not because I like.NET, but because I want to run those programs that people make in.NET these days, in Wine just like I can do with regular programs. If Wine wants to work like Windows, it should also be possible to install the real.NET on it just like you can do on the real Windows. They should try to make it work just as well as they did with MS Office. Then it would become possible to run so much more programs in Wine without problems and without having to reboot to Windows!
Does this also count for compressed images like PNG and JPG? After all those aren't bitmaps anymore - and removing redundancy by compression is always a good idea for encrypting afaik.
By july 2009 Windows XP will be 8 years old! Because they extend it till then, both Microsoft and the market agree that this 8 year old operating system is still relevant and not hopelessly outdated despite its age.
In those 8 years, Windows has hardly evolved. Honestly, Windows Vista doesn't add too much groundbreaking stuff to Windows XP, the only real technological novelty is the graphics.
Eight years is a lot in computer history, and if you look at what it was 8 years before Windows XP, that was 1993. So Windows 3.11 is to Windows XP, what Windows XP is to Windows Vista, but the difference between XP and Vista is much smaller than the difference between 3.11 and XP!
why does the evolution of desktop operating systems like Windows go slower now than a decade ago?
These articles are no loss IMHO, I mean, 300 articles about some stupid Nielsen Marketing Boxes (whatever that are) are OK on Wikipedia, but one little article about an esoteric programming language or a too deep explanation of some fan fiction is deleted. At least now other useless subjects are treated the same and also have 0 articles.
To play anywhere we want at any time, we need open or widely implemented video and audio formats supported by any hardware and which can be carried on any kind of memory (optical drivers, flash memory,...) and that can be transfered from one device to another using standard connection protocols like USB mass storage device, FTP,... No lock-in crap, closed formats, or "DRM that allows playing on any device in your domain" or other such silly short lived things. So if what I described isn't what Sony plans, it sucks.
I wonder why they're being so difficult. Firefox already isn't called like that in my OS for over a year anymore, it's "Gran Paradisio", and firefox 2 was something else that I already forgot (and don't care what it was again either). What bothers me more is that the logo is an empty globe instead of the better looking one with the fox. But so again, I wonder why they're doing that, while this isn't a problem for most other software like gimp, pidgin, inkscape, audacious, openoffice.org, KDE, filezilla, and so on. I mean, what does mozilla do so different that they have this trademark problem and the others don't?
Probably a bit more people than that since maybe there's more chance someone will choose his birthday to marry. Or maybe less, if people avoid marrying on their birthday!

Is it possible to call people, and send or receive SMS messages, if you put linux on it?
No, it's really football. You play the ball with the foot, all the time. Unlike American football, where they rarely ever touch it with the foot.

Neanderthaler clones you!
But why is it relevant to put that in the summary?

Yay, now I can mute my phone by scratching the table instead of pressing a button! A new milestone in user-friendliness!

good trend imho! Version numbers in names are much better than random letter combinations like XP, FX, GTX, or years like 98, 2005, ...
Or better: Write a C# compiler that compiles to the java virtual machine.

Ok you're right - well, it depends on when you call it runlength encoding :)
I'm definatly very sure that PNG has runlength encoding (incorporated by LZ77). And Huffman encoding on top of that.

Aren't all rocks exactly as old? The Earth has always had the same weight, except for a few extraterrestial rocks that landed on it.
Wow she's thin, are you sure that picture is from the U.S.?

Woot, just 1400 years of flying there and back and it's all ours on Earth!
If 1 gram of graphene has the surface area of a football field, what's the surface area of a football field of graphene?
