considering that GNOME was RMS's baby to start with. Which is something I hold against him. There are many factors which prevent Linux from being widely acceptable, but having GNOME vs KDE business belongs to the major one.
May be universe does not care about conscious observers, but cats sure do. Just try to observe any cat in your neighborhood and watch for its reaction.
Zune (and any like product) will succeed when judged on its own merits, rather being competitor of brand A. But it will never be like that, since Zune *was* positioned as iPod killer from the start.
And yet another thing: I think, psychologically, just like myself, every time you hear of xyz-killer from Microsoft, somehow you end up visualizing Balmer throwing the chair, and then somehow you end up *not* purchasing Zune.
... Yes, *some*. I had enough NiCD in my life as well, and memory effect slowly crippled their capacity, and there was no way back. Did that trick you've mentioned. Never worked. At least NiMH are stable, with overcharging-protecting charger.
Yes, awesome. As it stands now, you have to search through the different families to pick the glyph your need. When I work with LaTeX, I always have 'symbols' document from AMSMath website open, just in case I run into something I need to bring in yet another font family. Of course, you can't get a great consistency either. Just look at this document. What a sorry mess. As it stands now, there is not a single comprehensive font family exists. Hopefully this project will make things more manageable.
NiMH can be screwed up by overcharging, with the end result exactly the same as the memory effect for NiCD: their capacity greatly reduced. This is my first-hand experience, not hearsay. You need fairly sophisticated charger for NiMH, the one that protects from overcharging. Mine didn't.
for this type of reviews. They had review of 'smart clocks' or something like that. a clock which somehow magically improves the sound of your stereo.
One of the members of Positive Feedback, one Clark Johnsen seemingly never met any audio snake oil he didn't like. When pointed on obvious absurdity of the claims he always says something like "you can never say it wouldn't work till you try". Of course he like the others of his kind reject the double blink testing, so 'testing' according to him is to listen and say "yeah, I certainly hear the improvements".
Incidently, Clark Johnsen, Dave Clark and others are simply afraid of double blind testing since it certianly will prove that the emperor has no cloth. so they use every sophystry possible to claim that the double blind testing doesn't really work for audio.
I will never forget the review I saw I believe on 6moons.com, by some pair of idiots, with PhDs (in I wonder what). They were reviewing another snake oil, CD demagnetizer. The claim was that after moving CD through demagnetizer, that should make the sound better. Of course the reviewers said that they have heard definite improvements. There are two things to consider. First: magnetic field has no effect on a laser beam. Second: CD doesn't get magnetized, period. Well, they claim that some minute imperfections in the material CD is made with allows for possible magnetization, but when pressed for the exact values, they give something barely detectible. In fact, less than the Earth magnetic field. Duh.
A gang tries to rob the bank. Police tries to prevent them from doing so. Both have a powerful computer with roughly the same software. Both are aware the other side has a computer. Both are working to develop the winning strategy. Computer are runing with seemingly no end. While both sides are waiting for some kind of outcome, a phone rings at policy station. Some low key robber with no computer and no gang affiliation just robbed that bank. End of the story.
From my job experience, Toshiba Satellites were the most reliable laptop. When I had to choose mine, I got Satellite as well, and had it over 4 years without a single problem (I did put more memory and got a faster and bigger drive). Still using it, and don't feel a need to upgrade.
I'm runing XP, and strictly because I have a few apps I need that don't have the equivalent ones on Linux. I have absolutely no reasons to move to Vista, and so I won't. By the time the apps I'm runing on XP are no longer supported, there are good chances Microsoft will have some successor to Vista, and at that time I'll take a closer look at what's available on other platforms.
I have also observed that many individual users who got Vista are rather computer-illiterate and did so they could proudly claim "they had the latest and the greatest" Microsoft OS. Blah.
is - as I did - to replace the hard drive of the laptop you got with something bigger and faster, and do your own installs there. Keep the old drive (with whatever OS it came with). if the problem develops, put the old drive back, make sure the problem is still there, then take your laptop (with the old drive inside) back to retailer.
after reading the news that the Mac community prevented the coup, and now you are bringing me down with a news that whatever parrot died. reading the slashdot is becoming a roller-coaster ride.

that's the end of Microsoft format.
not if you put a giant skull and bones on the kite.
still you wouldn't want to kiss it.

No strings attached!

that's exactly what liberalism is all about: flexibility in interpretation.

That's the solution that would make everyone happy.

before we move to DDR3?
Yes, to think freely and even to post freely on Internet. Let us all make sure that won't disappear one day.
