people, learn to read the news. see that little logo under the headline? this is a Reuters story that Fox has licensed and run. the distinction is vital.
is it just me, or are the first four just versions of the same operating system? and is there really a big difference between windows mobile 5 and windows ce? but os x is one version, not 4, and linux is this one catchall category that includes every version of every distro.
Although I sometimes like the clicky feel of mechanical switches, it's worth pointing out that membranes are an order of magnitude more reliable, long lasting and cheaper.
well, you're right about cheaper, but otherwise you're nuts. Model Ms last forever, and membrane switch keyboards break all the time...
is anyone else just sick of hearing about this thing? more than a dozen of my friends have sent me links to this keyboard's site as if i'd never heard about it before. it's going to be grossly overpriced*, and only marginally useful. 99.99% of people won't get one. can we talk about something else now?
You see, you can't spell because you can't talk. If you pronounced the words with the subtle distinction the 'our' ending entails, you wouldn't be writing this nonsense now. There is an audible difference; and you're wrong on that point, too.
Learn to talk. Learn to spell. Learn!
learn that building a global empire and spreading your language to every corner of the globe means you lose some control of how it's spoken. not to mention, England is even more guilty of rejiggering words than the US is, otherwise we'd all still be speaking Old English.
i'm saying that the FTC has the keys, because they certify the software is appropriate for running an ATM. much in the same way that the local department of weighs and means will certify a gas pump.
what if the owner of the hardware, the author of the software, and the organization certifying the software are all separate organizations? for example, you and i write the ATM software, the FTC certifies it, and the bank runs it on an ATM they purchase from any of several vendors?
imagine a world where there's an open source electronic voting software package that everybody used... wouldn't you want the voting machine to be able to reject software that wasn't say verified by a voting auditing board and signed?
the same thing could be true of open source ATM software. would you want your ATM to whine like HAL having his memory yanked when malware was loaded onto it, or would you want it to refuse to run?
i think Ars' review was spot on, but the problem wasn't that the whole Aperture project was poor quality as the OP claims, but just that it was released too early in its dev cycle.
Listen, I'm not going to lie to you. Those are all superior machines. But if you like to watch your TV,and I mean really watch it, you want the Carnivale.
It features two-pronged wall plug, pre-molded hand grip well, durable outer casing to prevent fallapart.
Freedom at being an idiot consumer is not necessarily freedom, and especially not consumer-friendly.
Don't believe me? How come I can't buy crack? Just raise the taxes on crack. I think it's fair to say that heavy users of crack should pay more taxes, that way the crack-problem will go away in no-time.
but the problem is, if you buy a really large, fuel-inefficient vehicle, you pay less tax right now, because you can claim it as a commercial vehicle. there are people who pay less taxes than they would because they bought H2s as their "go to the store and get groceries" vehicles.
you make it sound like regulation is too strict, when it actually goes out of its way to encourage damaging behavior right now.
Since most of these parked domain names are just misspellings of respectable sites or total nonsense, full of links to casinos and places to get prescription drugs, which no one would ever actually register and use for hosting, does it really matter what OS the server is running?
and if that's so, why are they using a full-blown webserver, anyway? seems to me a custom binary that just holds the parking page in RAM and farts it out a socket anytime someone makes a request would be faster, less resource intensive, and more secure than running IIS or Apache.
it would probably help your post to describe what the episode said about the Dalai Lama and Mother Theresa. i'm personally vaguely familiar with Mother Theresa's failings, but not the Dalai Lama, care to elaborate?
actually, you can generate DDL from an OO class definition in Rails by using migrations, which is the built-in way Rails handles updating databases to the current version. you do "script/generate migration " and a skeleton gets generated for you, and then you fill it out. then just run "rake migrate" and DDL is run that generates your tables. here's a writeup of it.

do you say "This is not the OS I'm looking for" when you do it? :)

thanks to you, i have a new sig!

look! someone's already made a documentary about it.
