And the appeal will likely lose again. This isn't an issue for the courts, it's an issue with the FCC and the law. All the court said was that the FCC had the power to make that decision. The fact that the decision is likely wrong (something I agree with) doesn't effect whether or not it's legal.
If you want a change, write to your representatives or write to the FCC. The courts just rule on what the law says, they don't write it.
Since their example didn't show it, and most tech types care, here's my take on Consolas's 1/l/I differentiation. Essentially, it's Courier New. The glyphs are practically identical. One has a sloping top, lowercase L has a flat top, and uppercase I has a bar across the top. Lucidia Console works almost the same way, except that a lowercase L has no bar on the bottom.
Contrast with my personal favorite, BitStream Vera Sans Mono: one and uppercase I work the same way, but lowercase L is notably different. This is especially useful for languages like Java where a lowercase L at the end of a number is valid and marks it as a long.
On the 0/O issue, Consolas goes with a line through the zero, Lucidia Console uses a slightly higher and narrower glyph compared with the uppercase O, and BitStream Vera Sans uses a dot in the middle.
Over all, I still prefer BitStream Vera Sans Mono for my console font. Consolas is a big improvement over previous monospaced fonts available in Windows, but BitStream Vera Sans Mono is perfectly usable and, in my opinion at least, slightly better.
I get the impression by "too short" most people really mean "not much replay value." At least, that's what I'd say about it. Portal is amazingly fun - but once it's over, it's over. I still plan to complete the Advanced maps, and then take a look at the Challenge maps, but really there's nothing else to do, other than hope that people will make new and interesting maps for it. (And as most people are pointing out, a lot of the fun of Portal comes from GlaDOS, who's completely missing from the Advanced maps I've completed, and I presume is probably not in the Challenge maps either.)
I know several other people have given various links, but I prefer Ubuntu's own link because it links to Dell's sites for the UK, France, and Germany as well as the US, making it more generally useful. It also provides an overview of the support options you can get from Canonical through Dell.
I'm assuming you'll read this entire thread (I've done it both times I did ask me anything, so I'm pretty sure it's a geek thing) so rather than hope I make my way through the 'tubes into your inbox
Based on that, I have to ask, since it didn't make it into the interview:
How long will pants remain optional? And why do you recommend them for me?
On that note, how do you hold it when you are actively using it? Telekineticly hover it between your hands so that they aren't touching? Or more realistically, very carefully balance it on your thumbs? I can't come up with a way to hold the thing as demonstrated in the video without a stand or something - which doesn't make it very portable.
At some point if this is intended to be used with mobile devices, one of the hands is going to have to become dedicated to holding the thing while the other does the gestures.
Cutscenes MUST always be skippable

I don't think that's very controversial. Cutscenes really must always be skippable, simply because it's foolish to assume that everyone is playing for the first time. Even if the game "knows" it's a new game (think DS game fresh out of the case) it can't be sure that the player hasn't played the game before and therefore doesn't want to see the stupid cutscene for the fiftieth time.
Don't get me wrong, I generally will allow the cutscenes to play. But some cutscenes are just annoying. For example, when you start the Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, it gives you a recap of the events that occurred during Wind Waker. However I've already played Wind Waker and would have very much liked to skip past the recap to the new stuff.
Massive bonus points for any developers who add TiVo-style controls to their cutscenes. Sometimes I just want to jump back and rehear a line I missed.
In fact, I'd say that the first item, "Never ask a player if they want to save their game" is much more controversial. In a perfect world, that works (when there are enough save slots that auto-save is possible) however the world isn't perfect. In Phantom Hourglass I might not want to overwrite my save slot just because I hit a "save point." This is a limitation of the DS - there are no memory cards, so you're limited to whatever space the game gives you.
However for something like Half-Life 2, the autosaves work well. I don't need to be asked if I want yet another autosave, so it doesn't bother asking.
Otherwise I generally agree with the list.
Why are pants still optional?

Why are pants still optional, and how do you know me enough to recommend them?
Yes. There was an IBM typewriter out at the date claimed for the documents that did just that.
Even assuming the IBM Selectric Composer could produce exact results (which, it's worth noting, it couldn't), no one would ever bother using it for typing memos. It was used to produce camera-ready copy. No one would be typing memos with it for two simple reasons: cost, and the fact that everything had to be typed twice.
The default paper sizes and margins have been the default for American typewritten documents for many decades.
Really? Care to site that? Because I've gone looking and can't find any default margin width. I thought it the default was usually a 1" margin - but Word defaults to 1.25" for some reason. Which may actually be a point for the memos.
Microsoft's Times Roman font was copied from the version used by IBM. The whole point was for Microsoft to prove its output could match that of the best typewriters.
Patently false. Times New Roman was a version of the Times Roman font (imagine that) created by Linotype. It is specifically Monotype's version and is licensed by Microsoft for use in Windows since Windows 3.1. By the time that it was added to Windows, Word was no longer attempting to emulate typewriters or even hardware word processors - it was attempting to be a new beast, a WYSIWYG word processor that allowed you to set up the page on the screen and print exactly what you saw. Also note that it was never part of Word - it was licensed for use with Microsoft's font rendering technology. It wasn't "emulating a typewriter" it was digital typography.
And, finally, we're not talking "look similar" by retyping the memos in Word. We're talking pixel perfect. No pixels out of line. Everything perfectly matches.
So Rather is looking to have his day in court, because the memo never was proven false, and he wants to be vindicated.
Being created in Microsoft Word using the default settings in 1972 doesn't count as proven false? Granted Times Roman was created in 1932, but you expect me to believe that the Air Force was typesetting documents with identical kerning to Times New Roman as printed by Windows XP and using identical default paper sizes and margins as Microsoft Word 2003? I mean, come on, the words wrap at the exact place that Microsoft Word wraps them.
The best you can hope to argue is that the contents are correct and they were retyped, but that doesn't explain the signatures and it most definitely doesn't explain why they read "1972" and not "72" like all other military documents from the time. Or, honestly, all other documents from the time. The whole "four digit year" thing only really started when the Y2K panic started.
Ignore the documents. The story may be true, but those documents do not prove it and serve only to prove that Rather has no journalistic integrity. Rather being fired over that does not prove your point, it only proves that CBS fired a journalist who didn't bother doing even the simplest of fact checking to discover that Microsoft didn't even exist in 1972 and that Word wasn't released until 1983 and that Times New Roman wasn't included until 1992 with Windows 3.1.
To be honest, I have far more problems with tomAYto - whenever I ask for tomAHto on a sandwich, I get blank looks... Oh well, when in Rome (or CA, for that matter:)
I don't think it's the pronunciation that's the problem - who the hell would wanna eat a tomato sandwich?!:)
It was more like a demo and, IMHO, I think that's what Valve meant it as; a demo of their new rendering techniques.
Try playing through with commentary enabled. That's exactly what it is, they're completely transparent about that. It's a tech demo of their new "high dynamic range" engine. The location and event are intended to show off the new engine and really nothing more.
In fact, I'd say that there's no point to playing it without commentary. It's very short and does nothing that effects the story. It's literally a tech demo.
The latter is simply far far better, aside from one thing - Subclipse puts a nice dark * on the file icon to show altered files, whereas Subversive just precedes the filename with a > and that's far more difficult to spot.
Then change it to use the asterisk. It's open source after all, you've got the code! Sorry, I had to. It's actually already an option. Go to Preferences, Team, SVN, Label Decorations, select the Icon Decorations tab, and check Outgoing Changes.
Then, if you want, switch back to the Text Decorations tab and remove the Outgoing Change Flag so that the asterisk is the only indication the file was added.
You can do this for Eclipse's CVS support too. Subversive is designed to mirror its UI in many ways.
Well - almost exactly. (It also helps that I made a typo.) The problem comes with the superscript "th" being out of alignment. But if you then print it out and scan it back in it matches exactly. (Minus said typo.)
I'll accept that Dan Rather might not have noticed it was a forgery, but there's no way that anyone who'd be in a position to authenticate the document wouldn't notice. It's almost like he didn't do any fact-checking before going public with it...
I still myself have not played through Half Life 2, waiting for the Orange Box now.
If you're planning on buying the Orange Box through Steam, you can pre-order it now and download and play the components of the Orange Box that are already released. I've already played through Half-Life 2 that way, and have started Episode One.
According to the article, yes. And based on the new box my dad recently got, that's exactly what Comcast is doing.
They can either convert the digital SD signal to analog SD and pipe it across their lines (which means using more bandwidth and carrying three versions of a single channel) or they can offer digital SD only and roll out converter boxes to all their subscribers (which could be expensive). [emphasis mine]
The last time I was at a GameStop, they asked me if I wanted to get an extended warranty on the game for $3. Since I was third in line, I'd heard the "Do you want to buy an extended warranty for $3? It allows you to replace the game for free if it becomes scratched or anything. No? OK, do you want to reserve $RELATED_GAME{$PURCHASED_GAME} today?" twice already. I guess I was a little more forceful with my "NO!" than intended, because the clerk skipped the rest of the spiel.
So I'd add:
And if you ask me to buy a warranty on the game:
I WILL KILL YOUR FAMILY TOO

You haven't been watching Adobe if you think Microsoft is doing this just to compete with Flash. Adobe is planning on turning Flash into a complete OS-independent application delivery platform. (The Adobe rep insisted this included Linux when asked.)
The best example of a similar technology is Java Web Start. Adobe has the install base to push a new version of Flash to enough end users to get a large enough user base to really try something like this. Continuing the analogy with Java, Flash currently fills the Java Applet niche, and Adobe wants to move into the Java Web Start niche.
Microsoft wants that market, which is the point behind XAML and other technologies. Silverlight is simply Microsoft firing back at Adobe. They both see a future in rich applications delivered over the web, and are both competing for that market. Silverlight is just one part of that - both hope to get web developers hooked on their platform, to support their rich application delivery framework.
Since that's the point, you can expect Microsoft to support cross-platform Silverlight as long as Adobe supports cross-platform Flash. They're both hoping to slide into a new market using Flash-like technology.
Windows has one. It's called the Windows Installer. It's kind of like any of the various Linux package system. Or really any package system.
With the exception that it's created using a proprietary binary format, installers are ridiculously hard to create using it, a lot of developers just opt not to bother with it, and, since most Windows software is closed source, Microsoft can't just create them for developers that don't.
Check out the Windows Installer XML Toolset (WiX) and keep in mind that it's the easy way to create Windows Installer packages without forking out money for a tool like InstallShield.
There's no way I'm going to wait until Q1 2008 for a service pack that might fix my issues, especially if, according to Microsoft, service packs are less important now that Windows Update is widely used.
Huh? Service packs are less important now. A service pack is essentially just a collection of patches. Before the Internet was widely used, these patches would be distributed on floppy and later CD. Now you can just download the patches immediately. These days, a service pack is just a large download, along with the CD option for people who don't want to download a giant collection of patches. (Or, if Vista SP1 is going to be as large as Microsoft seems to be suggesting, a DVD option.)
It's not like Microsoft is not releasing bug fixes until Q1 2008, they're continuously releasing them through Windows Update. Vista has been improving as they release patches - although the one that effected me the most was the Intel microcode patch. Now games randomly crash back to the desktop instead of randomly blue-screening.
If you've already paid for Windows Vista, you might as well keep using it. Microsoft isn't holding back on bug fixes - they're coming out (constantly) through Windows Update. Of course, if you're still using Windows XP, there's really no reason to upgrade unless you really like shiny things.
What was it you didn't like? Waving the wand to swing your sword instead of hitting A?
Personally, I hated that. The aiming system was a great improvement, but let's be honest: most of the time, you're Z-targeting, making the ease of aiming almost entirely irrelevant. Having to shake the controller to swing the sword was just plain annoying. Not annoying enough to prevent me from playing through the game, but annoying none-the-less.
Honestly, I'm interested to see what Metroid Prime 3 does. It's got some interesting control options that I can't wait to try out.
What I've always wondered about companies that require DRM on their products is simply this: why do they insist on making their paying customers suffer, which those that don't bother supporting the content creators get a more convenient product?
With movies, the pirated version usually jumps straight to the movie without going through previews or FBI warnings. It doesn't include slow, time-wasting menus. It doesn't force you to skip by commercials for other movies. It just gets you to the product and lets you view it with minimum hassle.
As an added bonus, the pirated version doesn't prevent me from transcoding to a format my iPod can support or prevent me from storing it on my computer and streaming it via my TiVo. If I ever get an XBox360 or a PS3, I can stream them to that too.
With a DRM-encumbered movie, I can't do any of that.
Why do they insist on giving their paying customers a product that's simply worse than the pirated version? Why do they think we'll put up with it?
