I'm not sure that this holds up with high-resolutions. I think it was clearly the case back then, but I'm guessing around 720P it starts to flip (that is the resolution where I start heavily using edge snapping in Windows to put windows side by side).
Going right, clicking to activate the menu, then going left does not make sense to be the most efficient method to me, and that's on a single modest sized monitor.
I do think menus should be in the title bar (or hidden like in chrome, with the title bar finding other use), so that when a window is touching the top of the screen, it gets the edge effect.
I compared them to my current plan with Tmobile, and it is a steak contrast, and all the add-ons were more too.
TMO = $60 unlimited texts and minutes + $20 2 GB fast data, slow as hell past + $8 handset protection, and if subsidizing a phone $20/month (actually they just finance your phone over 24 payments, so it varies some).
Verizon (maybe ATT?) was well over $140, and I think it peaked at 5 or 10k messages (I regularly break 5k). The loss protection was $15/month vs $8.
Tmobile, for $15 will up my fast internet to 5GB/month, and allow sharing with laptops for free on that price (activate hotspot feature on phone).
I am glad TMO has coverage in my area, but if can be a pane when traveling for work, with large areas 2G or voice only (ATT free roaming).
The price of an iPhone is not the phone unfortunately.
I loved thinkpad, even as you mentioned the 2-digit Lenovos (don't know whether 60 or 61), and my favorite feature was that the recovery process had a "custom" option that gave a checkbox for all crapware. Could purchase, reboot to recovery, and have a factory image, but clean, install.
The T400 has thinkvantage tools. They gutted one of the major selling points at my volume.
And why does everyone want their own wireless tools, the Windows ones are pretty decent (top 25% I'd say), and everybody has the same thing. The frustration of trying to help someone connect to a network over the phone is huge (note, printer makes, I feel the same way).
While I don't see how it could be the same in this case with a LCD screen on a laptop, a video driver can easily cause systems feeding a c.r.t. monitor to drive it with video and sync signals outside the supported frequency range. That sometimes can cause failure, and the horizontal deflection coils or flyback (high voltage and horizontal scan) transformer can indeed make squealing noises. Because operation at unsupported frequencies may cause excessive voltages or currents in the flyback transformer and associated components, operation in possible unsupported modes when testing or configuring should be kept very brief.
It's been a long time since I've seen a monitor that wouldn't blank itself and state it was out of range, significantly longer since I've seen one available for sale, CRT or not.
Were I to do any of those things it would be trolling...
That sets aside the point that I've seen some of the most intellegent conversations on all of those things on/., and certainly more so than the internet as a whole.
Admin can be greatly helped with basic programming, as can using.
I have a small collection of scripts (written in bash, using cygwin) for converting PDFs to single page tiffs with ghost-script (example of programming as a computer user).
Python access to things can also greatly improve the ability to admin. MS invested in a new shell for that very reason.
especially if you use things like exposure bracketing (to later do HDR), or continuous shots (for something that's moving and you want just the right part of the stride/take-off etc).
My phone can kick-out 20 shots in 5 seconds or so if I hold the shutter button (and it will do it indefinitely, except I've set it to stop at 20).
I'd say effective is anything that prevents a perfect copy.
This means if you are required to use the analog hole, or capture the decompressed stream and compress it, it is possible. I think some schemes have lived to that standard for quite a while.
Also required is enough leniance for users that they don't feel hindered (e.g. steam or Netflix).
I think the rest of the world has a spill-over benefit from the corrupt system, that perhaps has its roots in legitimacy (being relatively untouched in WWII put the US in a unique position for a lot of things). A leg up in medicine (Switzerland and the US are where the drug companies tend to reside), and tech (though England's fear of tech was responsible for that too), military (the US had more money to spend, and didn't need to be rebuilt).
It's pretty obvious to anyone that can think at this point that it's just a self-feeding rip-off the populous machine, it doesn't mean other countries don't gain fro it in ways too though.
Again you imply I think it's noble. I think it's bullshit. Germany, Japan, and south Korea can all defend themselves. So can isreal.
The us government is losing lots of money funding the military, and until their suppliers start providing social programs, that's what's relavent to the discussion.
There were a lot of spillover benefits to the US nuclear program, even if the motive wasn't for them.
We're a bastion of corrupt mess, but that corrupt mess is worth 1-2 percent of GDP to many other developed nations. In 2008 the excess military spending by the US was 30-50% of the deficit.
Allowing countries to defend themselves (we don't actually let them, I'm not blaming other countries, only the US), would go a long way to deficit reduction.

Probably meant "steep" with auto-correct...
They aren't particularly cheap anyway.

What's the use of phone numbers without the notice "for a good time"?
It was Digg I meant.
I swear I read somewhere something like:
"why can't users mod stories"
"we don't want that feature"
"Imma make digg"
I'm pretty sure that legally, warranties cannot exclude non-destructive user behavior.
Now, it could be expensive to win that, and it could be argued bad drivers, but I imagine the consumer would prevail.
Good luck trying the case without a large-enough class for lawyers to care though.

Note, I think my reddit founding was actually digg...
Actually, if memory serves correctly. Reddit was started partly because /. did not want to moderate submissions.
In fact moderating of submissions is relatively new in my usage of /., and I'm not so olde head.

Also, that's 8-1200 MB/day for a modest camera, that's going to be brutal on any data plan (on the upper limit).
Though, I suppose if it requires gas, the dryer is not an issue, it's still not much. certainly no AC is going to happen on that.
It'd be doable, but it'd suck, and using central heat instead of space heaters would drive up overall energy usage for me at least.
Seriously, that's essentially one circuit.
It's 1/2 of a dryer.
Yeah, they really need a special permission for accessing ads from specific services.
Every free app needs net access, and therefor the permission is meaningless.
If calling through skype, why not texting too?
I would think a cell call is as safe as a landline though.

I found the click-to-click on my friend's too painful to use with much dragging.
Can you set the track pad as tap to click, click to right click?
It used to have the ability to display oldest first.
I really wish google had that, search a name, reverse sort order).
also, I wish gmail had the ability to remove atrchwments, but keep the mail, don't know if yahoo does.
Fair enough.
