I'm sure there is an Amstrad CPC emulator for Linux and I am sure if you look hard enough you'll find both Fleet Street Editor and Pagemaker for the CPC somewhere...
as an experienced user, I don't care about security on my own computer either, beyond a sandbox browser/blocking incoming connections from the internet. beyond that the only security I need is a lock on my door and security alarm in my house. why should I have to log-in to my own computer, have to deal with file permissions on files that I myself want to do with what I please. it makes no sense at all...
Well, we all know what the US and Australia do to other sovereign nations they don't like. Take Iraq as an example... All we can hope is that Russia puts up a better fight (not that Iraq didn't try). US and Australia are so hypocritical it isn't funny - ie: ok to be a sovereign nation as long as you do it our way...
The odd thing with this article is that it is about a 'stereo player'. In fact this generic term covers so many things, but only as long as they have two speakers that have two distinct channels I suspect (ie: in stereo). Surround would be ok, mono would be ok, but if it is a radio, cd player, portable computer, car (if that can be considered portable) and it plays in stereo, then it is covered by that article.
It brings in some interesting thoughts. On one hand he destroyed my hobby and job by causing me to use crap software at work all day every day... On the other day, if more more pleasing and less problematic systems were being used I would be solving business problems instead of technical problems... perhaps a lot of techies would be out of a job.
This brings in an interesting argument. What % of human do you need to be to be considered human?
Is a human with prosthetic limbs and bionic heart and ears 70% human? As the gap narrows between bionic people human mice (or perhaps in future, monkeys), won't things start getting blurred?
I wonder how they are going to get ISPs to censor the "NET" (not just the WWW)? Are they going to create special filters for every known and future unknown protocol or encryption?
unless Intel tie such a thing to Windows how can it work? How can a generic piece of hardware detect how some paricular company decided to implement some piece of software (ie: Windows)?
I wonder if gmail's virus protection will be as lousy as my current ISP which blocks any email based on a text search of some type - emails that contain text explaining how mime headers are constructed get blocked depending on the text of the email. It sucks big time and I have had a losing argument with my ISP for losing my emails (they are God).
Sometimes it's just a name, if a program does what I want and works how I want and is reliable enough for me, it doesn't matter what the name of it is.
If everyone buys an xbox 360 for each room of their house as purely a media player, they can contribute to driving M$ broke. Come on, I know you want to...
The reason this is a flop here is because I cannot buy it. Give the option of this or the normal Windows XP, of course I'd take this one. No way would I want the crappy Windows Media Player given the choice.
hmmm, method means a piece of code in a particular memory location executes, then in the same memory location a new piece of code executes. sounds not a lot different that something normally done by any application that wants to reuse a bit of memory to me.

The same stupidity that prevented someone from reading that memo a few years back 'Iraq has no WMDs'...

that's fantastic news. with any luck then it will encourage more companies to support other mac browsers instead of making their sites ie only.
"a more secure system such as a fingerprint reader" I'll have to stock up on Play Doh...

Does that mean they fall into the human rights abuse category?

why will it be that Koreans and Europeans can buy the better version of Windows without Media Player but us poor Australians cannot? :(

"performance is similar to original C version" likely? to compare performance of two programs they MUST be run on identical hardware.
how can 2 million in 2 years not be a success? I'd give anything for my business to have a product to sell that many with a profit.

fantastic! now we can all remember when something daft is done, we can all say how it was to 'pull a Sony'.

The reason they chose this movie is obvious. It's so bad, no-one would want to copy it.

The problem is that unforunately I have to use Windows, but I don't trust Microsoft so no way am I going to use their patches.
I'm sure I've read something about safe cigarettes before. Check this out http://www.chickenhead.com/truth/lucky1.html
Windows is slow enough (from a responsiveness point of view).
