Except its not, dude. Firefox 2 worked perfectly fine. All other applications recognize the default printer including Thunderbird. Something changed/broke in Firefox 3.
Somewhere in the development of Firefox 3, someone at Mozilla got the idea that printing to a file is more important, or at least as important as printing to a printer. So now, when you click print you then have to select print to file or print to a printer, then click OK. Very, very annoying when printing out a bunch of individual pages. It should default to the printer with an option for printing to a file (the way it used to be in earlier versions). Print still means "send it to the printer", printing to a file is a minor benefit at best.
WOW could keep that big feeling and make players happy if they did one simple thing. Make the griffin flights instantaneous. They are from major point to major point, but then you still have to walk (or ride a mount if you are high enough level) to the area of the quest and some of them are still quiet far from a griffin flight path.
Sure flying on the griffin was fun for probably the first 10 times. After that it became a major pain in the @ss especially if you were flying a long distance, say Menethil Harbor to Southshore, because rather than flying straight there the path meanders all over the bloody place. At the very least, if Blizz didn't want instantaneous flight they should revisit the flight paths and make them straight lines between two points.
Good try but if you read the article you would see that scientists accessing this data were told earlier this year. The US wasn't tailing a North Korean freighter then and could not have anticipated doing so at this time. So while the US military may wish to no longer disclose the capabilities of its satellites to Joe Public, it is not a result of the current situation near Korea.
It is short term fiscally responsible. As in, "Hey smashing this booster into the moon isn't going to cost us as much as finding another way of doing it." Same argument companies have used for decades as they pollute our environment. "Oh, proper sewage treatment is too expensive, it's cheaper to dump it straight into the watershed." "Scrubbing the fumes that come out of our smoke stacks is too costly, it's cheaper to let the toxins spew straight out into the atmosphere." But look at what those "fiscally responsible" acts have done.
As I wrote in my first comment, "Hmmm....looks like history is repeating itself here and we are going to litter and pollute everywhere we go simply because it is cheaper."
It is clearly the fiscally responsible thing to do.
Really? Slamming garbage into the surface of the moon is the fiscally responsible thing to do? How about about not littering the moon's surface with debris and send a probe to search for water? Oh, wait that will cost more money. Hmmm....looks like history is repeating itself here and we are going to litter and pollute everywhere we go simply because it is cheaper.
If it was fast enough to leave an impact crater after hitting the ground, it would have shredded that kid's hand. I think it is more likely that the meteor hit the ground and the kid was hit with the stones and dirt that were tossed into the air.
When I see a DVD screener of a movie that hasn't been released yet, exactly who is responsible? The industry. Obviously industry insiders are a bigger problem than these morons are willing to admit. Sure, point fingers at everyone else while your own people are stealing the revenue right out from under you.
History, physics, chemistry, social science. These are some examples of subjects that, if I didn't update myself about since school, would today be outdated data. Perhaps not completely useless, but I never claimed such either.
We are talking high school here though. There is a lot of history that has not changed that can be taught in high school with a 5 or 10 year old textbook. Physics, same thing. High school physics should be the basics (optics, classical mechanics, etc.) not something that was discovered last year. Same with chemistry. Let the colleges and universities teach the advanced stuff since that's what they're for.
Talk to professors that teach first year courses. You'll find many of them will complain that students are coming into first year without an understanding of the basics in science and math or an ability to read critically and properly write an essay.
Fact is that book will, in five years time, be as shitty as the other outdated data in the world.
Outdated in five years? Really? What exactly is being taught in high school these days cutting edge genetics or something? Because Shakespeare hasn't changed in nearly 400 years. Classical mechanics, optics, Newton's laws, etc. haven't changed in hundreds of years either. I have a calculus book from the 1920s and it is still as relevant if not better than many calculus textbooks today. Kids should be learning fundamentals in high school. How to do math, how to read critically, how compose essays, etc. Books teaching those will not be outdated in five years or even fifty-five years.
So rather than being preserved, the existing copies of the Gutenberg bible should be recycled for toilet paper? Since we have the knowledge of how the printing press works.
The stone blocks of the pyramids should be removed and used to build more modern structures? Since we have the knowledge of the lever and other construction techniques.
You guys can get unlimited phone/data lines, for less than a hundred a month, we get 4 gigs of data and 200 minutes for $85 a month. No unlimited anything.
Try Telus. The only cell carrier in Canada I found that has an unlimited data plan. It was about $40. Bell and Rogers can suck my left nut.
Oh yeah VLC is great. What an amazing piece of software. So far it has had the ability to pixelate any movie I've attempted to watch. DVDs, AVIs, MKVs, etc. doesn't matter. Any movie is annoyingly noisy. Never, never, never experienced such a problem with WMP. In fact I can play a DVD in VLC, stare at the crappy noisy video, close VLC and then open WMP and play the DVD perfectly.
E-book piracy may not be helping your sales, but is it actually hurting your sales? Aside from the obvious argument that it is your work and you should be compensated for it. What I mean is, would the people who are pirating the e-book actually purchase a hard copy if there was no e-book to pirate?
Same goes for other authors. If the book was not available electronically would the pirates actually bother buying a hard copy?
According to the article it has a web interface (like all home wifi routers) that allows you to change the settings. If the manufacturer put any thought into the design of this product they would allow you to change the wifi channel.
Its the first graphics game written on/for a 16-bit home pc on record. There's always the possibility that someone wrote one before Scott Adams and didn't "publish" their work.
Not everyone has a DVR. On top of that, where I am the cable company charges extra per month for the DVR. Screw that, I already have a hard drive in my computer that has plenty of free space. Also, grabbing a show from bit torrent, or Hulu, or whatever, is no more difficult than setting your DVR to record it.
Yes, we get screwed up here in Canada. iTunes Canada was WAAAAAY behind everyone else in offering movies and tv shows. If I remember correctly the UK, other parts of Europe and I think Australia had movies and tv shows before we did. On top of that the offerings we get SUCK! I browse the US iTunes movie and tv sites and cringe when I then go back to what is offered in Canada. Personally I think they messed up and gave Canada the redneck offering of tv shows. Here are some examples of what we get: TNA iMPACT!, Ax Men, Real World Road Rules, The Exterminators, Trucks!, Horsepower TV, Tank Overhaul, Nitro Circus, etc. The majority of content are these kinds of shows.
Then I look at the US offerings and see: House, Heroes, 24, 30 Rock, The Office, etc. Real, actual tv shows that we get up here on satellite and cable tv.
So why do we only get reality tv reject shows on iTunes?
I don't like the idea, but it makes sense economically. It costs energy to move packets around and keep networks running. The more you use the more you should pay.
Turn on a switch. Connect it to the network and let it start handling packets. Measure its power consumption. Now increase the traffic to 100% capacity of the switch. Measure its power consumption again. How big is the difference? Is it really so big that it costs the astronomical amount companies like Bell charge for going over your monthly cap? NO. Bell's just gouging and they have you convinced that it is appropriate.
Also, the lines are already there so there really is no extra cost for those lines to be dark or to be at 100% capactiy.
so many actions are illegal that sometimes even knowing is hard
Ignorance of the law is no excuse. In other words it is better to err on the side of caution and not post videos to YouTube which you don't have the copyright holder's permission to post, via proxy or not.
You're reading conspiracy where there isn't any. It is not making the use of a proxy for your normal, every day, non-criminal activities illegal. It is when you actively use a proxy to attempt to hide your identity when committing a crime. If you are not committing a crime, you have nothing to get upset about and can happily continue to use your proxy. The article reads like it is attempting to spread FUD.
Yeah right, puppet masters? What kind of conspiracy are you trying to push around here?

Good god, about 50% of Eve's tedium is travelling.
And the other 50% is mining asteroids.
