"This site works best with..." remember the loathe 'we' used to have for that phrase, because it was almost invariably followed by "Internet Explorer"?
Oh, you youngsters.
I, for one, remember when 'we' loathed it because it was invariably followed by Netscape. (Though some tried to be cute and claim 'Mosaic')
Why would they do this? It has to be something they can sell or bargain with. So does this mean they'll try to lower the price they pay to Dell for preinstalling Ubuntu (if, in fact, they're actually paying for this). Or are they planning to create an adware-version of Ubuntu?
Actually, it requires Silverlight. Even with Moonlight installed I get: Sorry, but Silverlight is not supported on this operating system. Silverlight works on Windows and on Mac OS (Intel only).
So, if I sell laptops for $10 000, I can get 100% of the Exclusive PC-marked? Woohoo! We've done this before, it's not very interesting. It could be interesting to look at the profits they make, but the percentage of some arbitrary set point? Bah!
You keep working, and then when you get back to the office, just transfer your virtual machine back onto your desktop. Or, if you want, just keep working from your cell phone.
But the strange thing is that the kind of work you can actually usefully do on these devices, really is all in your head. So time off from the computer, thinking, usually makes for a better product...
In order to pull this off you need to have alter session priveleges.
No, you don't. What you need is to somehow be able to modify NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS or NLS_DATE_FORMAT. This is easily demonstrated with ALTER SESSION. But there might be a bug/exploit somewhere down the road that allows this in some other manner. Each of the two exploits are unusable, but combined...
I've noticed that now there's a "study" about all the lies that the Bush administration told about Iraq, back when almost everyone else was apparently telling the same lies, or at least believing them.
'Everybody'? I don't know what planet you where on back then, but most people in Europe didn't buy the theory of a link to Al-Qaeda. Most governments of Europe also wanted the weapons inspections to continue instead of invading. Personally, I expected an invasion to become the quagmire the current Vice President of USA predicted. And I, along with a lot of people, expected it to only enrich certain oil companies. I even participated in a protest march for this.
As far as any normal user is concerned, bug fixes take just as long to come down the pipe as proprietary software.
That's just wrong. Simply and plainly. When and update to any of my installed applications is available, a little star will show up on my desktop announcing that 'OpenOffice is ready for update' (or whatever). There will be no indication of the available upgrade for Excel.
This looks great. It brings back memories of when the IDE was so small and started so fast, I used Turbo Pascal as my editor of choice. Yeah, those glory days in the mid-80's.... These days Borland Developer Studio gives me time to make some coffee.
BUT.Net 1.1? Seriously? We've been at 2.0 for some time now, right? Did Borland just miss that announcement?

Why should I do that? No, of course I don't stay logged in any more than it is necessary.
Unless you make sure to clear all Google-cookies after logging out and before logging back in GMail, it won't really matter if you're logged in at the time you're searching or not.
But when everything is strings, you get all the funny strange problems with decimal-, thousand-, time-, and dateseparators. So you gained some and lost a lot.

It's too vague to actually implement it without reverse-engineering WebKit first.
Seems somebody already did that for you.
Man! You are lucky tonight!

Neither seems very likely, so ... why?

Went back today as it came up on a local newspaper. It appears they've fixed it. Now works on Moonlight (running 10.04 on an x64) ...

This is obviously because gravity does not exist, but the observed effect is a result of an higher intelligence pushing things down.

Cobol wasn't designed by a woman. It was designed by a committee. Of men.

But is it searchable?

Are these available for download?

Well, there's that

timer there. Might explain the missing download links.

As this only affects 6.9 and 7.0 (RTFM), you'd need some form of auto-update to actually be exposed. Most distroes are still at 6.8.

No, they didn't. When you grew up, your mom was home and made sure you were always alright.

Yeah. That's how *everybody* is. Right.

The funny thing is that the link you give for RFID tags contains this:
