It would seem like this would go over better if it were cordless, much like a tv remote control. If you look at the pictures, it looks corded, this decreases the utility for me, if I have to be that close to the computer, I might as well use my regular corded keyboard and mouse.
Think I want to put Moz on when I've got 50MB of IE in the way? (BTW, it doesn't have a CD, so no reinstalling of the OS...)
But you don't have 50 megs of IE, there is a couple megs of IE, the rest is system components that tons of other windows applications make use of. Thats why you can make you own webbrowser in 10 minutes using visual studios, you just setup a gui and make hooks into the windows components to do what you want. You can make just about any windows app in about 10 minutes using VB the same way without ever typing in code in.
That's why people that understand how programming works don't bitch about not being able to uninstall IE, even if you did, you'd gain 2 megs or so at most. And deleting all of the system components used by IE would make it so most other window's apps wouldn't work either.
Because MS is a convicted monopolist -- even if they got off with a slap on the wrist, the conviction was upheld -- so different rules apply.
What you (and the majority of random/. users) don't understand is that there is nothing wrong or illegal about having a monopoly. Microsoft was convicted of breaking anti-trust laws. That doesn't mean they have to stop having a monopoly on computer os's it means that they have to stop illegally using their monopoly status to kill off would be competitors.
Unlike the tar and bzip and gzip combinations, zip allows you to compress and archive in one step, this simplicity is why windows users (the vast majority of computer users) use it instead of some combination of unix programs.
This very same simplicity is exactly why I use things like a little z switch of tar. *sigh* Next time please check your "facts" before you start to spread such a misinformation. Thank you. The tar manual might help you with that.
The z switch of tar is not posix compliant and is only present in the gnu version of tar, people who use real unix don't have that option.
.zip is a standard, however much you might not like it, it is clearly a standard with several different programs producing compatible files.

excellent point about how deep CrossOver puts some items by defautl - but didn't see an explanation of the cost.
What do you except, it basically mirrors the start menu on windows. There is an entry for windows programs, and then its the same hierarchy it is under the windows start menu.
It would seem like you could probably get a lot more distance off of Wi-Fi stuff if you just cut away some of the plastic casing covering the antennas.
I've noticed that a lot of the usb style wireless adapters are basically something the size of an egg stuck in a plastic container the size of a kleenex box. All that plastic can't be good for the reception.
Don't you have to be over 18, or have permission from a parent/legal guardian to purchase an Internet account? Shouldn't it therefore be the account-holders responsibility what a minor sees using their account?
No, just like purchasing anything else, you can do so at any age.
One would think the COPPA laws could be reasonably extended to include pornographic spam since html email is essentially a website that is sent to your inbox.
So what if SCO actually wins this thing? The code in question is a trade secret, once its out of the bag it doesn't matter if its in linux source code or not. IBM will give SCO large int amount of money, and life will go one as usual, its not like SCO can go around sueing everyone that uses linux or bought linux in good faith. Hell, SCO continued to sell linux for quite sometime after they decided their IP was in it, so its obviously not that big of a deal to them. They just want some money from IBM to keep them afloat a while longer.
It would seem to me, that if SCO plans on showing any gpl'd linux code other than what they claim is stolen from them, they would be violating the gpl by putting restrictions upon releasing gpl source code to binaries that they have distributed.
The FSF should jump on their case about distributing linux binaries for years and now trying to get out of showing the code for free. It would seem that this NDA couldn't cover any code released under the gpl, just code that SCO has in their propriatory unix product so anyone seeing both, could say what part of linux is in question.
Ever since some police officers rummaged thru someone's trash without a warrent and had the evidence upheld in court, trash has been considered free to take if its sitting out on the curb to be picked up. A dumpster well unto the property of business might be considered differently though.
I haven't had any online classes, but I know people who have taken them occaisionally.
Lazy teachers seem to be norm for online classes, it seems like most of the teachers don't even bother to put any effort into the class until well into the semester.
Plus is you aren't self motivated, it will never work for you especially if the teacher is lazy and doesn't post all of the material until it is almost due.
It seems like it might be ok for one of two classes, but I can't imagine getting a 120 hour degree this way.
I wonder who else will leave with him. I imagine most of the employees of nullsoft are his friends that he hired, so its pretty conceivable that most of them will leave and for some splitter cell company.
This may end up like Gnutella. Even though the original Nullsoft client was pulled, the idea and the Gnutella protocol is out there and others created independant....
Don't I have the right to profit for the rest of my life from my work?
The rest of your life, yes. The rest of your childrens' and grandchildrens' lives, no. The constitution says that congress can grant copyrights to the author for a limited time to promote... not the authors extended family and corporation etc etc.

well if you'd read what you were replying to, you'd see that the word used was internet account, not the internet.

JZip appears to be a totally free clone of winzip if you don't like having to hit i agree all the time using winzip.
luckily, most people stopped using pkware when they stopped using dos, so this doesn't present a problem.
why do that, when you can use jzip for free and it's almost an exact clone of winzip.

Anyone got ideas for what to do with an old GBA?
Give it to an unemployed computer scientist.. i happen to know a few..

And having plugs stuck in your tear ducts sounds damn scary to me. Remember they're there before you get the MRI.
Why? I don't think MRI's affect plastic in anyway do they?

I'm sure thats what the idea was.
while not games, there are some pretty good uml modeling tools developed in java, ArgoUML comes to mind.
i agree, once you get your mind wrapped around how swing works, its very easy to produce a nice interface quickly.
