Another thing I noticed, in the clock app, the world clocks are analog, and the second hand is animated to emulate the real-world! Talk about attention to detail.
What I mean by that is, the second hand in a real analog watch/clock has inertia, it moves a second and stops again, and this braking causes the far-away end of the hand to vibrate. This vibration is emulated in the iPhone. When I first noticed this, I was amazed...
Hmm, your response made me first thought you were talking about cryptography, you weren't, but, what's the legality of Obama encrypting all his emails before publishing them? I.e. if he sent them encrypted to the receiving party, and in case they don't have a known key-pair, give them a call with the (symmetric) decryption password?
AFAIK, the stupid law that is preventing the President to live in the 21st century is the fact that all written statements must be made public, whereas phone calls are okay, so if the written statement is a jumble of encrypted bytes, would that be okay too?
I read that here in/. , damn, how many years ago was that. It was in an article that went something like "tell us your product demo disaster/stories"...
You're right. I assumed MS would be logical and put $VERSION = 7.0 in an OS they're calling "Windows 7"... serves me right for assuming MS would get it right.
God damn, I thought people in/. would know better... 1. WinNT 3.51 2. WinNT 4 3. Windows 2000 (5.0) 4. Windows XP (5.1) 5. Windows Vista (6.0) 6. Windows 7 (7.0)
Open Notepad, go to Help - About and you'll see those version numbers. Windows 2000 was 5.0.2195, XP: 5.1.2600...
I was going to tell you what the German word "Sarkasmus" meant, but after reading this amazing display of douche-baggery, I'm not going to do that no more now...
Besides, if you had the intelligence to differentiate between "quiet" and "quite", you'd know what that word means anyway.
I think Google has indexed it, it happened to me the other day, the Google result page said "$FOO - Wikipedia", I clicked on it and noticed the somewhat broken layout, and then finally I noticed the URL said e-wikipedia.net.. dang.
And something Opera invented first! (Among other things like tabbed browsing, mouse gestures in a browser, a zoom feature that also resizes images, etc, etc.). And Opera 9.50 even searches the contents of pages you have visited for more WIN.
Or, write the real first few seconds (maybe 15) of the trailer to the beginning of the file, et voila, it plays in Windows Media Player!
I think TrueCrypt needs to have an offset for its containers, so that it expects the data to begin at that offset, and ignore whatever is before that..
You could always use TrueCrypt and store your data there; then you can unmount the disk and have a boring system that is running normally, but your data is protected.
* a send button -- here I agree with them, and find the original Pidgin developers especially assholic for insisting that users don't need it...
* an ability to resize the buddy icon on the chat window to bigger than 32x32 pixels -- also a good idea, why the hell did the original devs decide to move that 96x96pixel buddy icon from next to the chat input box to the 32pixel space top left corner. Oh, because they wanted to reduce the chat input box into 2 (or whatever it is) lines. Setting the buddy icon to 96 pixel causes another problem though: your window consists of menu, 96 pixel high name of your chat partner, with his/her pic to the right, then below that the conversation, and then the input box, both of these being about 96px high as well...
* other things that I'm not interested in: http://funpidgin.sourceforge.net/content/features (apparently one of them is master passwords, so your passwords arent stored in plaintext in the accounts.xml file. And this is supposed to be an official Pidgin Summer of Code project?
I modified one phpBB installation to load an image in the registration page. The IMG SRC is a PHP script that sets a cookie. When the user clicks "Next", the next page expects a cookie. No cookie? No registration!
Well if a survey-taker didn't know he was on his neighbor's WiFi, he wouldn't answer "Yes, I piggy-back on my neighbor's WiFi" on that survey would he?
If he wants to really piss Monster Cable off, he could offer his lawyer services to other companies being sued by them, assuming he still has his lawyer's licence...
Wow, in that case, why not do like Thomas Crown and distribute your fingerprint, or email password, or whatever. If 50 people use your identity, and you commit a crime, no one knows who of the 50 does it...
And.. not all Schengen countries are in the EU! Heehee!
E.g. Norway, which opened up its border because it already had a border-treaty with the other Nordic countries, but didn't want to be in the EU because it wanted to keep its oil money to itself.

Focusing on them for a few minutes at a time [just... a... few... more... seconds...!!!] really can't be good for your eyes...

Can't wait until they put TCP and UDP in that list...

Check out a republic which is democratic and belongs to the people, the DPRK.
China is also a People's Republic.

The add font dialog is probably the oldest piece of Windows code still running in Windows... it's from Windows 3.1, and still looks the same in Vista!

Alt+PrtScr to capture just the currently focused window...
