from what i understand of the program, it doesnt cost the business any money either, they just have to verify that what you put in is true. which would make the deal even sweeter.
no, because then youd be infringing on their patent on 'a process or system for drawing out 4 minutes of story or animated tale into a 30 minute episode'
please dont lump us in with that load of bollocks. you have no idea of that GPs political affiliation. ill grant you its certainly possible theyre a lib, but i cant help but think thats a troll.
Ive had a microsoft trackball explorer since 2000 or so. It has come with me to every desk job ive worked, and i wouldnt consider using a mouse unless forced. It saves desk space, is easier to manipulate, and has a very comfortable design.
I cannot understand how it gets dirty so quickly. There are a couple metal bearings inside to keep the optical ball spinning freely, and they are constantly getting gummed up with skin flakes and whatever else constitutes desk dust. If not for that, it would be perfect.
Ive seen the kensington ball, and im not sure how id like it, given the position youd have to put your hand in as compared to my current trackball.
sorry, i have itunes running on a windows PC i RDP to for playback from my linux desktop. currently 7123 songs, 30.56 gb, open since tuesday last week. 31,192 mb of ram used. itunes helper is using an additional 200k, and i have the lastfm plugin running too for another 8-ish megs.
'ton of Vista' doesnt delineate between retail vista and vista bundled with a computer, so far as ive seen. it also probably included all of those 'free upgrade' discs that went out to folks who bought a computer after october something. actually i wouldnt be surprised if it included all of those regardless of people actually sending in their coupons or not.
so 'tons of vista' could just be 'some vista' and 'some retail sales'.
also, customers accepting sub-par performance when a cheap and easy upgrade will solve a lot of problems is nothing new. xp with 128 mb? right.
You always need to code to the lowest common denominator, which'll be a browser without Javascript. At the very least popup a message about it. agreed. ajax is a feature not a requirement. my smartphone doesnt do ajax, and more and more people are getting them, so building even reduced functionality should be a priority.
As for a site broken by Adblock: how about not using horribly intrusive ads? They don't work except maybe with the moron element. it would be useful to note that if your target demographic is the moron element, you arent losing anything by breaking functionality to people who have adblock installed. additionally, if you do have adblock installed then why are you going to a website targeted at the moron element?
seriously, i pay less than 1/3 of that and i get unlimited wireless data now. and i havent gone over my minutes since getting the phone. not because im a minute-miser mind you, but because i just dont use the phone part all that much now that ive got all the data i need. sprints coverage may suck, but their data (vision) plans are quite cheap compared to the competition.
i am not defending the shill bidding practice at all.
if you bid 100$ on something that means you are willing to pay up to 100$ for it. if the auction ends at less than 100$ you get it for that amount, exactly as the system is supposed to work. If you dont want to pay 100$ for the item, dont bid 100$.
Simple, easy, and totally within the spirit of an auction.
ive always wondered why they didnt do something like this a long time ago. round up and down, ill let them keep the extra few cents that would cost me to not have a giant bag of pennies around the house waiting for me to be bored enough to wrap them.
i really wouldnt mind if they just rounded to dimes really. i like dimes, its quite the overlooked coin.

given who they have been trying to push, and for what they have been trying to push for, i applaud their efforts.
its about damn time someone at least pretended to stick up for the little guy.
if you could either add in or make sure one of them is a born-again christian, youd easily have the most annoying person imaginable.
im using 7.3.0.54
although im not entirely convinced that a point revision mainly for iphone support would use less ram.

not sure how you got to 38mb sans database.
yes, according to lots of LCD and plasma TVs. also some heads and groins.
So you do know that laser printers dont use 'ink' and that toner is a dry powder right?
heh, you said penal.

no, xp is vista without aero glass and actual usability with less than a top of the line computer.
i believe this is utterly appropriate at this time.
im curious, if you consider the barcode 'digital' then what would an analog one be?
reviews posted by tom are also marketing BS.
your cigar is in the mail.
As a programmer, I'm always surprised by mathematicians who think that 4 and 4.0 should be equal.
