Steam recently was selling BioShock for US$5. The local store here was selling it for approximately US$50. How many people are going to keep paying these ridiculous prices at a physical store? Not me.
I've had to purchase old games that I wanted to keep playing again just because the disc got scratched. That isn't going to happen with something like Steam.
The App Store model is wonderful. Apple (with it's various restrictions) just has a poor implementation of it.
Right click the panel in which the address bar sits, Customize, then drag whatever you want (such as Activity Indicator) to the Status Bar, then press OK.
Personally I find the status bar to be annoying and like the new design, however.
Your latency would be ridiculous almost 40 minutes but it would be easy enough to get internet there. Although most sites would obviously time out waiting for ACK.
I guess I wouldn't mind being the progenitor of a new species...
also, it would get me out of my mom's basement, and most likely result in meeting girls?
I assume you also wouldn't send an email containing a picture of grandpa jones because that can be easily intercepted. Even if you encrypt it, one careless recipient could forward it without encryption.
Even the new task bar and Aero Snap alone give great productivity increases. It takes a while of getting used to them though.
The "libraries" feature can be useful too. For example if you have a large amount of music on your external hard drive, some on a network drive and some on your local disk, you can create a "library" which is basically a virtual folder which combines files from multiple sources. You can have as many as you like and they show up as folders in Windows Explorer and in file dialogs.
Then there are features in Vista that aren't in XP that are now worth looking at because 7 isn't slow like Vista is such as Windows Search and the DWM.
Basically, lots and lots of very small things. You might not care about them very much individually, but after switching it is annoying for me to go back and not be able to use these features.
My understanding is that every PS3 game is signed with those keys. Therefore, invalidating them through a firmware update would mean that every PS3 game to date will no longer work.
They already have a list of all genuine games signed by the now compromised keys. They could potentially release an update that used new keys but also accepted the old keys provided it had signed something on the already known genuine list of games.
Then, one profile, not connected in any to the above two, using a nickname or alias, and using a different E-mail address (preferably different domain), perhaps in a separate Web browser and sandbox. This profile is for fertilizing your donkey in Farmville and playing all the FB games
No, no, no, no, NO!
You must play Farmville on the account with all your friends who play Farmville, otherwise you won't do very well at all and they won't be able to know how awesome at Farmville you are and how committed you are that you set multiple alarms at night to go and "[fertilize] your donkey". That is the whole point of these games, if it wasn't for that you may as well be playing something like Crysis. Do you know anything about Farmville?
Data in EXIF is a feature that many people want. If they read the manual which they should be doing anyway they would know that it is there.
It's simple, you convert the images into a format that doesn't support metadata. There are plenty of programs freely available that will do this for you in batch, or you could do it manually.
A camera that captures metadata such as GPS location does not make it a privacy issue. People share data without checking what it is that they are sharing is a privacy issue

Fin. I Just won't us thm anymor.
Fun with shell scripts: ShellScriptGames.com [shellscriptgames.com]
That is still $0.10.
I say yes!
I consider people who scratch discs to be lazy/careless. Ever since I bought my first CD player in 1989, I've never scratched a single disc. Not one.
I always take very good care of my discs but the problem is that some people share their discs with little kids who then go ahead and scratch them.
Think more exponential.

will replace current national identification system... debit cards.
So it's basically one card that replaces everything? What if I want multiple debit cards from multiple banks?
I like and want to keep my multiple cards.

Don't count on it.

There is a wonderful solution to your problem. =)
...or you can walk to almost any store whatsoever and buy a topup anonymously with cash.
DNA signatures may not be that far away.
DNA signatures? But what about identical twins?
You can develop for Windows Mobile 7 in VS and it compiles to .NET and then runs that in an Arm emulator which is running the Windows Mobile 7 OS.
Isn't the CLI specification open?
Yes it is, and it's standardized. Unlike Java.
Ported != Portable.
Most of .NET is very platform agnostic.

Technically you are correct but go to YouTube and look at the title of the page.
What is Italy going to do? Block foreign YouTube servers from Italy? I'm sure the general public is going to be really impressed by that.
GeoLocation of IP to work out the appropriate timezone perhaps?

making every part of that alien world at as plausible as possible by obeying the physical laws...and you say it's not science fiction?
What about the flying mountains with the rivers flowing from them? Really plausible that.

IANAL but isn't that just semantics?

And who is going to pick which contracts are in legalese and which are not?
It sounds like something very hard to define.
