And Acrobat lends itself to the idea of creating documents right? Or Excel and Lotus and Quattro Pro.
And let's not leave out the opposite end of the spectrum- Word. Let's take a most generic word and call our product that. Sure, once you get the branding that works but, the should have been nailed for that alone in the trial.
When the letter 'x' starts a word it is pronounced similar to the letter 'z'. When the letter 'e' ends a word it is silent and makes the precedeing vowel long, so it would be 'zine' ryhming with 'sign' and 'line'.
One of the examples was Gaim. Of course the creators say that Gaim stands for nothing to avoid lawsuits from AOL, but it stands for G(tk/nome/nu) AOL Instant Messenger.
The worst about Windows is the Publisher name is listed first sometimes. There is no rhyme or reason to the layout of the Windows' Start menu, and once the user starts adding his own programs it becomes a ridiculous mess.
In Linux with a smart Distro, things get organized in the Menu in a logical fashion. Start>System>Archiving>CD Burning>K3B for example. You may not agree with the exact placement but it is logical and some one can sit down and find an appropriate program very easily.
From what I have seen, jar is not as fast. Regardless, gzip is built right into tar with the -z flag so why bother using a utility that does not work with links.
The WTC bombing was essentially random. There was no well defined goal in striking the Towers.
Hitting the Pentagon is an example of making war. Tree spiking and killing stoat farms would also be making war. It is targetting violence against the population you disagree with.
I refute you. I bought a Dell Inspiron 8600 this summer. It has a Pentium M 1.6 with a Geforce FX5200. I installed Linux on it and use it for Lan parties amongst other things. For those things that don't have native Linux installs, I use Transgaming. I installed Mandriva 2005 without a hitch. The hardest part was setting up the partitioning, and only because I dithered over how much to allocate to/home. I could have let it auto partition, but I like have some seperate partitions.
After the install, I did a few customizations including installing a copy of Mplayer that can play DVDs and the CPUFreq utility so I can underclock the CPU and greatly extend the battery life. I am quite happy with it especially for the price I paid off of ebay.
The Register article was not a troll. I have a proposal taht would mostly fix the problem.
One: recognize experts. This should be common sense but wikipedia is composed of a bunch of anti-elitist prigs that fail to understand that a Doctorate of classical Greek Lit. will know more about the Illiad than the prigs do.
Two: Have real editors that have authority. About the only way to do this is to lock down various articles and have editors approve any changes.
Three: Real accountability. Require real email and block anonymous ones such as Hotmail and Yahoo. Capture IP address, and ban abusers. Serious abusers get complaints to thier ISP. Very serious abusers get dealt with in appropriate civil and criminal courts.
Of course there would be warnings for minor things like posting some flamebait. Repeatedly doing so or posting outright false facts might be a ban and a complaint to the ISP. Libel would be a ban and a complaint with the ISP and possible civil court. Death threats would involve criminal investigation.
These ideas are not new and others have made them before. I don't expect them to be implemented now either. Wikipedia is an experiment in absolute democracy, but like most thought experiments on absolute democracy, it is devolving into mob rule.
Wikipedia is good for replacing Everything2, but is no more reliable.
Actually LED backlights are very bright and uniform. Some of the new Sony VAIO notebooks have LED backlights. Probably by this time next year most high end LCD will have LED backlights.
I have purchased a couple of creative products over the years. I have a SB Live!Value, Soundworks 4.1 Speakers, and a 1 GB Muvo TX. I have been quite happy with all three. I have been disillusioned with the company itself now, and quite possibly the GP is in the same position.
Most States have "at will" employment so you can be fired at any time. By the same token most companies will be found at fault in a lawsuit if it is shown they had discrimatory reasons for firing.
I don't use an antivirus or or antispyware, but then again I run Linux. I do keep a Win2k partition around to play a few games, but that is all it is used for. I am still behind my routers firewall and will occaisionally run an online virus scan.
If the occaisional scan finds nothing, there is no outbound traffic, and is properly updated, then it is reasonable to say the computer is clean.
**Beatles-Beatles needs to have his name linked to less savory content. Perhaps if there were enough links to other things it would dronw out searches to his websites.
BTW, if you haven't figured it out, don't click on that link. Indubitably you will not like what you see.
I told you not to click the link. BTW, if you clicked the link, reply if it still works as I am unwilling to check it out again. i heard some rumors that it was shutdown.
That is more of a cultural thing as well as more rowdiness caused by high levels of testosterone.
Consider insurance statistics, Males under age 25 have very high insurance rates, primarily because fo this rowdiness. For girls to have a higher grade point average when in US high schools acting up in class wil lead to lower grades seems to be a natural given. grades have more to do with being well behaved than with aptitude.
In any real journalism and not trash talking blogs, it is admitted that Sony paid for the use of Private walls. In no case have I seen any images that would have been bridges or Overpasses or other Public Works. Nor have I seen any that were government office buildings. Just because a building is seen in public does not make it Public.
Only the those who defaced Sony's art are vandals. Sony rented those walls. This is definately a case where blogs do not do as well as real journalism.
It is even more of a double standard when you find out that Sony actually paid to paint those walls. Of course you would have to get you news from elsewhere that does not have as much of an axe to grind, to find out about that part.
I read elsewhere (wired maybe- check the last sentence of the article linked) that Sony was doing this but they were renting the walls. Personally, I thought it was clever but could see how it could backfire.

Much like 'Netscape' was pronounced 'Mozilla'.

A name is just that.

There is no complete anonymity. The registrar has a credit card. the credit card is tied to one specific individual.

Norton has been doing this for quite a while as well, though Trend-Micro did it before them.

What the hell is an USian test? Is that like an UKian test or an EUian or an AUian test?

I find croc is to chicken as venison is to beef. A little wild if not gamey but of a similiar texture and taste.
Well, crodile tastes a bit like chicken and is about as old as T. rex. And crodile is most definately a carnivore.
Sony paid rent on the walls to paint them.
Only the those who defaced Sony's art are vandals. Sony rented those walls. This is definately a case where blogs do not do as well as real journalism.
It is even more of a double standard when you find out that Sony actually paid to paint those walls. Of course you would have to get you news from elsewhere that does not have as much of an axe to grind, to find out about that part.
Sony's ads are not vandalism. They paid the property owners for the right to paint on thier walls. The only vandals are the ones who defaced the art.
The Sony ads are no different than a billboard. I would much rather look at the ads than a billboard though.
I read elsewhere (wired maybe- check the last sentence of the article linked) that Sony was doing this but they were renting the walls. Personally, I thought it was clever but could see how it could backfire.
