I am all for "fair access" but if the CC was not made available by the content maker, than how is it netflixes fault for not having them? Shouldnt the judge be charging the movie maker for not providing CC to begin with??
There are no CC's on any Netflix streaming videos. None. Even if the the movie producer provides CC on the DVD, Netflix can't be bothered transmitting it on the streamed content.
Not positive, but I think MadKeithV was paraphrasing Life of Brian:
"All right. But apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system, and public health... What have the Romans ever done for us?"
Love those old IBM coffee break films with the Muppets. I'm still looking for one of these films where two Muppets try and order a pizza through a DOS PC with an external modem. Like most computer endeavors it doesn't work the first time and like most computer geeks the two Muppets try and again and again and again. It's hilarious.
That would depend on the circumstances, but generally I'd say no. It would not be an abuse of its monopoly power. IE6 has been around since 2001 and the first version of FF was released in 2004. If Bing decided to drop support for FF v1.0 I don't see how that would be a problem.
Thanks for mentioning the IBM i. We, the beleaguered computer nerds who toil writing code for that O/S, have always felt a little left out.
I call upon the/. editors to please correct the blurb up top.
I am a good touch-typist in that I never look at the keys. With a virtual keyboard every key of keyboard screen feels like every other part of the screen and there's no way to tell what key you're on.
I would have wanted the social skills training too, but I was also suffering from a low grade depression, so I don't think it would have helped too much. That however is not why I'm replying.
Being a social outcast in my youth drove me towards all things engineering/computers. It was only years later that I learned I had gone down the path of computer nerddom. I wonder if I had had the social training and the proper medication, would I have taken the same path? I might have ended up as a film maker or an architect instead of a highly skilled computer nerd.
This of course is all anecdotal, but if all budding computer nerds get what they need to no longer be social outcasts will the future of computer science suffer?

Yeah but Bridezillas is a reality show and as we all know, reality shows by and large do not reflect reality.
Importing Google culture may help in the short term but I can't see it helping Yahoo get it's groove back.

And the answer is 42?
And thus started the deluge of sacred holy relics onto the market place.

Your "pictures of Chrisq" page must be humongous.

Just keep Tyler Durden out of the computer room and you'll be fine.

I remember that text-based computer game! Thanks for that blast from the past.

Or you could just stick this Babel fish in your ear.

There is nothing higher than that of the party and big brother.
There are plenty of devices with [virtual] keyboards and they aren't going away.

I hate virtual keyboards. The other touch sensitive concepts are cool, but I'm a touch typist and to have to use a virtual keyboard is the pits.
