This concept was actually explaned to me this way by a friend who got married to a Japanese woman and actually lived several year in Tokyo, merging with Japanese people more than others. As I trust him, I would not see why this should not, even partially, be true. Now, as a fact, there are much more ideograms than characters in our latin alphabet(s). It sounds obvious to me that it might not be easy to remember them all. Anyway, I didn't mean to offend Japanese people and you could also consider that there are actually some poorly educated non-slashdotter can't easily have pleasure reading a non-illustrated magazine or book. It might even be true whichever culture they've been grown in. So, there are maybe loads of Japanese, French, Russian or Chinese people who prefer comics because they have not trained enough in order to improve their reading abilities so that they are unable to properly understand abstract writings if they don't come with some pictorial illustrations. OK, you speak both language but, according to your presence on/., I guess you are far less than concerned by my point of view (discussing doesn't mean insulting, it means elevating one another's point of view by exchanging ideas) than Joe Sixpack'd be.
Japanese ideograms are so numerous that most Japanese can't read a complete newspaper. Manga are cheap and easy enough to read for the above-mentioned people. So this makes the Mangas a mainstream media which before being exported is financially successful. In other countries, comics are as easy to read as literature so most people will read either, hence the subjective lesser acceptance of comics in latin-alphabet-using countries...
Or maybe they'll make it run in 32bit mode with a 64bit compatibility layer, in this case Microsoft will have their marketing milk^Wconvince the customers.
The icon used by/. to cover this topic actually suggests it would be IE/OSX. OK, I know there is Safari now (in case you'd be afraid it would pollute your cosy Jaguar) but the article doesn't make it obvious that this only covers the IE/Win browser. Or maybe I am wrong and it actually covers any version of MSIE ?
To extrapolate... who the *hell* wants nicotine-free cigarettes? The whole POINT of cigarettes is that by smoking, you get some nicotine in your blood stream.
Well, I'd actually taste these, if the tobacco is good, I may switch. My point is : it is a question of taste.
I actually thought this was this old Ti99/4A game "à la "Scramble"" but hten the website proved me that even though both their and the original game are space combat based, theirs is quite far from the real thing...
In my case, I guess the Swiss phone company was running SQLS as when I contacted people in France, I got re-routed to wrong numbers... Strange, it was like being served by a newly come standardist in the 20's...
But I don't think that this part you included was in the original article...
Steve Jobs announced that apple has joined Jihad against slashdot because of the stupidfucking pidity of the editors. "I thought I was some draconian shit, trying to censor people...but the editors at slashdot take the cake! My God, they're assholes." He said that $200.00 of every mac purchase would go towards the destruction of slashdot for the next 10 years.
Specifically, the patent claims as Ameritech's original idea the concept of having elements on a web page that don't change, yet apply directly to other parts of the page that do change.
OK, it is not related to a web page but this kind of ergonomy was already in either Atari/TOS and Apple MacOS... (if the page is seen as the screen and the omnipresent-though-changing elements are seen as the menu bar)
Is there a corporate conspiracy to limit recording time of camcorder to about an hour (like DVD-R camcorders)?
Well: pros: if the battery can't follow you don't need that much more...
cons: If the harddisc is proprietary, I guess it is some attempt at preventing users from using it in movie theaters even though this is quite stupid as you may come with a friend and record half of the movie each...
BTW, if it has firewire, there could be a way to plug an external harddisc (depending on the firmware and its functionalities)...
Line6 offer a better choice for most guitarist with their GuitarPort : it allows one to use its existing guitar with computer which'll model the required amp/cabs sounds...
Now, the laziest could also check out Steinberg's Virtual Guitarist...
I think it would be more fair to tax stock-exchange based revenue instead of Internet sales. It is IMHO not normal not to be taxed, even a little, when you makes thousands out of your shares... Maybe this smells like a troll but it is not : it is the base for a debate and I'd sincerely love to understand more about this issue..
4 years ago, when I was working in Germany, they had some ingenious system: Normal phone numbers may be 8 digits long but it was possible to compose less number, yet access someone, generally a standard...
It was also possible to compose >8-digit numbers to phone somebody behind a switch or something so...
So at least, it was still possible to avoid composing extra digits if there was only one remaining possibility for a given number.
Sorry if this is unclear : I have never been very aware of phone technology... So if somebody could explain this I'd be quite happy to know:)
Spending years without the Internet sure mean you'll probably feel the Net Lag as you'll at least get in touch with what you obviously considered as relevant source of information.
Now, you're back there, you don't have a reason to switch on your telly anymore and you surf to some web sites, whether political or others.
How do you feel this ubiquitous Big Brother that is now hiding behind each of us ?
Did you see it coming ?
Won't it be hard to learn it all again and especially to resist the temptation that this new harsher policized network brings ?

Well, it, at least, can play ZooZ :-)
Yopy was mentioned in European magazines, in December.
The Z. never was.

So, why not buying slower hardware and less wine (I like it too so I won't advise you to buy bad wine) and help them ?

Maybe because IPv6 has not yet gone mainstream ?
I don't think that 2^32 different addresses could be enough.

Yep, there are seven of these and the so-called president is only a representative but he has practically to be popular if he wants to be the one.
