Granted, there are many people who view this as a disorder. But there are also those of us who view it as a gift and view the challenges and the setbacks that it has presented as experiences that have had an extremely positive impact on our lives. While I sympathize with those who have trouble dealing with it, this is who I am and I would never want this to change.
I wold never want to be labeled as someone with a disorder, having a minimal to non-existent social life is fine by me. This is just putting a negative label on people who already have a lot of social stigma to deal with.
The web browser is the GUI of the cloud. The operating system is irrelevant as Firefox on OS X, Linux or Windows will provide exactly the same user experience reducing the OS to an api.
I wonder if these standards will result in an explosion of new web browsers or of specialized applications, each claiming to be better/faster than the other.
I accidentally misread "a photographic survey" as "pornographic survey" and for a fraction of a second this article became more interesting. Then I re-read it and the feeling subsided.
It all depends on where you shop. I can get a usb box for $8, discount SD card $5(just 1Gig - but enough to run what I'm running), usb cable $4 - and all this from one store right beside where I work. But most of these I have lying around in boxes I haven't looked into for at least a year or so.
Or I could buy a $449.99 128Gig SD card and quintuple the price of my rig.
A friend of mine is a University professor and said that during a recent exam they caught 3 people accessing the math departments servers with their smartphones using their own university wireless accounts.
They work fine, once you put an operating system on them.
WTF is this about Theo or OpenBSD?
on
OpenBSD 5.2 Released
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
Who the hell cares about how Theo treats other people? Did Steve Jobs piss people off? Did he not treat other people like shit on numerous occasions? Yet people still lust after Apple products.
You buy/use the product for the sake of the product.
I can set up my OpenBSD server and forget about it for a year, with almost a guarantee that it hasn't been hacked.
That's why I use OpenBSD.
And if Theo is an asshole then Steve Jobs was a much bigger one.
I'm glad that we (techies) aren't running the world.
We, collectively are SO FULL OF SHIT.
It's sad that when someone mentions anything to do with the Catholic church, the first thoughts are not related to how much it has helped people.
The Catholic church is one of the most scientific religions out there. The idea that faith and reason both are needed is one of it's fundamental tenets.
Makes me wish I hadn't gotten those two OLPC's. when I heard that. But if the XO-2 ever materializes (and it probably wont) I think I'll just wait for the Mac iPad duo.
It would properly represent the gamble of relevant search results provided by bing. If you get pissed off you could use it as a cuss-word really loudly and nobody would get offended (and they would know your pain). Old grannies playing BINGO in a Bingo hall, is about as exiting as bing.
Did I miss a memo, or would anything x264 only be considered free software where the shackles of 'patented software' don't apply?
I like the way some DVD players can play DIVX. Maybe someday some Blu-Ray players will be able to play Theora or some other open codec. Until then I think Blu-Ray will be 'Read-Only' for me.
It didn't even have a clock. It was cool that I could use both Rogers (then called Cantel) and Telus by just swiching from the first NAM to the second NAM.
And it could be used as a weapon far more easily than these RAZRs that people are carrying around these days.

Of course, there are many people who would do anything to become NT. I was there once.

It's not a disease.

I'm using my model A for frosty pissing.
Go ahead.. plug it into a 220 V outlet first tho.

CFX-9800G Released in 1995, I stand corrected. I didn't know about this one.
Welcome to 2012 graphical calculators, nice of you to finally join us!
The first Casio graphing calculator with color came out in 1996. CFX-9850
I still have one somewhere.
"500KB RAM to users; appears to have at least a 2-4MB RAM chip"
I think this development puts the new calculators on par with PDA's from 2001. Just before the Treo hit the shelves.
It's like re-living history.
What do these devices have that couldn't be implemented as an app on a general purpose smartphone or tablet?
I think the answer to that is: Absolutely Nothing.
In fact - I'm sure a smartphone could run an emulator of the calculator and the emulated calculator software would still run faster.
Just stop playing around and get the real MATLAB on there.
The only thing that will make me switch from my HP-48.
The broken Windows fallacy?
5 hired IT staff that would have been unnecessary had the school used Linux or Mac say so.
Just imagine how many new IT jobs this would create.
Sarcasm in the title?

Judging from (almost) all the comments thus-far.

CBC Radio Spark, 139 has an interesting show about this. What the people in Kenya are doin is most interesting.
The amount of money they're transferring is huge.
We are really behind.
So the first info about the Courier I can find is dated September 22 2009.
But OLPC already showed off a concept XO-2 back in May 2008.
Funny that earlier - Steve Jobs offered to put OS-X on OLPC for free, but they "declined because it's not open source".
Now, after "a deal with Microsoft" Both XP and Linux will be options.
Makes me wish I hadn't gotten those two OLPC's. when I heard that.
But if the XO-2 ever materializes (and it probably wont) I think I'll just wait for the Mac iPad duo.
At just .15 per bot, this confirms that the economic downturn has affected the bot trade as well.
No stimulus package in sight. I'm holding on to my bots till the rebound.
No, seriously.
MS should change the name to Bingo.
It would properly represent the gamble of relevant search results provided by bing.
If you get pissed off you could use it as a cuss-word really loudly and nobody would get offended (and they would know your pain).
Old grannies playing BINGO in a Bingo hall, is about as exiting as bing.
I mean it fits on so many levels.
Of course I know that DIVX is not free.
What I want is a little [THEORA] logo next to the [DVD],[BLU-RAY] and [DIVX] logo.
Did I miss a memo, or would anything x264 only be considered free software where the shackles of 'patented software' don't apply?
I like the way some DVD players can play DIVX.
Maybe someday some Blu-Ray players will be able to play Theora or some other open codec.
Until then I think Blu-Ray will be 'Read-Only' for me.
Snakes???
Snakes on a phone??
My first Nokia phone had no such diversions.
It didn't even have a clock.
It was cool that I could use both Rogers (then called Cantel) and Telus by just swiching from the first NAM to the second NAM.
And it could be used as a weapon far more easily than these RAZRs that people are carrying around these days.
