Some experts feel that 'Sender ID' is not an accepted standard and has many shortcomings. Some also feel that Microsoft is trying to strong-arm the industry into the adoption of an incomplete and not accepted standard.
Let me guess, the story submitter is a Wikipedian? Let's try to avoid weasel terms. Unlike Wikipedia, Slashdot has no neutrality obligation, but if you want to attack something then be clear about it. Don't be redundant either; if a web standard is not accepted by the W3C (the only real web standards authority), then it is not a standard. Let me show you:
Opponents believe the non-standard 'Sender ID' is flawed, and that Microsoft is trying to force the industry to adopting an incomplete protocol.
See? It's shorter, unequivocal while maintaining all previous meaning. Weasel words do not sanitize an opinion in any way.
Wikipedia has NOWHERE NEAR the readership the Times does
Are you sure about that? Alexa's ranking puts Wikipedia at number 41, while latimes.com isn't even in the top 100. Netcraft somewhat confirms it, giving en.wikipedia.org a site rank of 122 and 894 to www.latimes.com. Wikipedia's probably more popular than you think.
Decent management would reduce developer redundancy. But with the whole anti-establishment attitudes of most Linux developers, I doubt that will ever happen. I don't mean to troll, but I can't see Linux advancing much when they keep re-treading beaten paths, sometimes forward but more often to the side.
Online Dvorak Tutorials A Basic Course in Dvorak - No frills tutorial, just make sure you repeat the lessons until you're actually proficient. You won't learn anything drilling through them only once. dvorak.nl tutorial - Very slick, remaps the keys for you if you want (convenient if you can't use Dvorak Assistant). Non-english languages available. Works better for experienced Dvorak typists.
Letter Frequencies in the English Language - How many of the more frequent letters are on Dvorak's home row, and how many in Qwerty's? Did it ever seem completely stupid that "e" isn't on the home row in Qwerty? That's because it is, and Dvorak fixes that.
Words Possible on Certain Rows - One snippet: in Dvorak, using the home row alone one can type 99 of the 1000 most common English words. Qwerty's home row allows for only 15.
There's your proof. Dvorak was designed sensibly, reducing finger movement distance and frequency. Typing feels like drumming your fingers, and is incredibly rapid and comfortable.
There are two separate Dvorak layouts, one of which maintains the command key shortcuts. So I can "command-j" ("command-c" in Qwerty) to copy, and do similarly to paste.
Also, I still use Qwerty keyboards fine in the labs here. It's not true that Dvorak typists lose every ability to type with Qwerty, as shown by the fact that many of us do both. Typing on multiple keyboard layouts is as feasible as speaking multiple languages, or learning multiple operating systems.
The M-16 was not meant for only CQB situations. That's why the US military uses the MP5 and its variants for that instead. The M-16 was excels at distance combat though, which explains the dual-aperture rear sights in the A2. While the AK-47 can spray a room with fire and nothing else, the M-16 can be used for accurate distance firing in addition to CQB. It's pretty useful that every soldier in a squad can engage a far attacker.
The performance of the M-16 (or any weapon) is defines its "mission" (what ever that is supposed to mean). It's not the other way around.
You know, that's what Apple has now. And in four years, Apple developed an OS that's stable, fast and incredibly easy to use, along with a software suite that integrates beautifully. Apple's already done this, while the Linux community is still trying after 20 years.
Actually, the Pentium M's run far cooler than any G4 or PPC970 processor, and Intel plans to extend the M line more into the desktop market (already some desktops using the Pentium M). The P4's probably run cooler than the PPC970's, after all, P4 mobile chips have been available for several years now, whereas PPC970's have been desktop only for 2 years. Intel's processors are cheaper because they're more massively-produced. Compare to the case of the APG-77 radar, whose price plummeted (by millions of dollars) after common circuitry in the T/R modules became used in consumer wireless ethernet gear (market expansion from.5M chips to 9M+). The 3-5% of the market Apple holds is nothing compared to the dominance x86, especially when you factor in the vicious competition between AMD and Intel that drives prices down further. Competition that does not exist in the cathedral Apple world, unfortunately.
Actually, if you look at the MathWorks website, you'll see that MATLAB Costs $1,900 for a commercial use license. The add-ons range from $400 to $7,500 though.

"to adopting" should of course be "to adopt."

Google "xmodmap dvorak" and then insert the appropriate command line into an rc script. It's worked quite well for me.

Kevlar and Spectra helmets are meant to stop small caliber rounds actually.
Motherfucking Kraftwerk! That kicks ass.
makes sense. Though you're a 760k.
Does it pass the Acid2 test yet?

Are they only "bad" because they differ from your own? Who's to judge?
What I find completely devoid of humor are all the different ways people modify the phrase "pot calling the kettle black." Really, it never was funny.

Or, spend your money more wisely and buy a decent HON chair. Though your office friends may swear by it, the $700 Aeron chair isn't the last word in chairs.

Your user number says enough.
