I had a chance to play with one a little bit, it was really nice.
I was particular impressed by the quality of the screen and the fast response times in Google Maps.
Anthropologists have long believed that humans evolved from ancient ape-like ancestors.
No they don't 'believe' they use reason based on radiocarbon dating of fossils and other hard scientific and rigorously tested and reviewed evidence to reach the most accurate and logical conclusion based on findings and observation.
Wow, you clearly do not know the definition of the word "belief." Here you go (From Merriam-Webster):
1: a state or habit of mind in which trust or confidence is placed in some person or thing
2: something believed ; especially: a tenet or body of tenets held by a group
3: conviction of the truth of some statement or the reality of some being or phenomenon especially when based on examination of evidence
Notice that your little screed about evidence is completely irrelevant.
Does anyone doubt that Nintendo is currently winning this generation console war? Saying that Nintendo is apparently dominant is like saying that the US is apparently occupying Iraq.
The article doesn't say anything regarding the behavior of Office 2007 when installed on a machine with an older version of Office. It's a bare-bones commentary on OEM installations of trials of Office 2007. There is absolutely no indication that the problems encountered by the submitter will come up again.
So, this scare-tactic post amounts to someone asserting that something bad happened in the past, and might, possibly, maybe, could happen in the future.
Wow, thanks for the information, I never would have thought of that on my own.
(Furthermore, does any company that uses trial-ware want you to do anything besides buy the software? Game companies use demos all of the time, AND THEY DON"T WANT YOU TO CONSIDER BUYING THE GAME TO BE OPTIONAL EITHER. But, because this is and MS story on Slashdot, we just have to bash them for every perfectly normal thing that they do.)
Where in the above post does it say that we don't believe our own holy book? The point is that there are different ways to read the book. Some of those ways are more rational than others.
As for us being lemmings, do you follow a unique version of your faith? Did someone teach it to you? Is your family Bahai, your community? Why aren't you a lemming, too?
No, the moral of the story is that you need to be an active member of your ethical community, not just a passive observer of immoral agents. You knew that your friends were acting immorally and breaking the rules of the university, and you chose to do nothing about it. The cheaters prospered because they cheated, but they cheated successfully because you allowed them to. You let them harm you by allowing them to gain an unfair advantage over you. Who's fault is that?
When you know someone is acting against the interests of the group in order to gain an unfair advantage and you do nothing about it, you shouldn't complain about the results.
You know the line about evil needing nothing to succeed but that good men do nothing? It applies to people like you in situations like this.
Can anyone tell me what the Linux guy has running on his desktop? Specifically, I'm curious about the semi-transparent apps running on the right hand side of the thumbnail in the article.
I teach argumentative writing to freshmen, and they aren't allowed to cite wikipedia for me either. In fact, unless someone is writing about wkipedia, I can't see any reason to use it as a bibliographic source in an academic paper. And I don't know anyone who would sanction wikipedia as an acceptable source.
I've played the pen and paper RPG through all four editions. I love the old Genesis game. When I first heard about this new game, I was so excited that I couldn't wait to get more info.
Now, I will bad mouth this game every single chance that I get. I hope that they choke on the costs and release the brand to someone who can give us a good game that actually hase something to do with Shadowrun.
First, get your computer literate friend/nephew/grandson/whatever to clean up your machine.
Second, change your e-mail address. Then don't give it out to any website that isn't run by a major corporation. The big guys can't afford the bad publicity of being called a spammer so there opt-in/opt-out options really work.
Third, don't download anything. No greeting cards, no funny little screensaver. NOTHING!
Make sure that you have a good grasp of graphic design and layout/text editing. The best web-designers know more than just the techincal skills, they also know what a good looking page is supposed to look like. Most people are surprised that there are real and time-tested design standards. Violate them and no amount of techincal knowledge will make a webpage look good.
So... let's take a second to read the original problem before posting are smug and snarky little comment shall we?
The problem was that he only has 3-5 hours a week to play all of the games that he wants to play. So no, he isnt' spending $1 an hour on a single MMO. Assuming that he plays 3 other games (perhaps one on PC two on console or some such) he would be paying $3-$5 dollars an hour on the MMO. That isn't all that cheap. Further, the real problem is that he has gotten the sense that it isn't worth it to play an MMO if you have so little time.
So the actual problem is that MMOs seem to require a certain amount of dedication that is often beyond the ability of a casual gamer. Therefor, those that charge a flat $15 a month rate are charging a casual gamer a full fee for a sub-par gaming experience.
The suggested solution was to switch to a pro-rated model. Which seems sensible you pay for as much as you get.
One of my biggest disapointments for the past few years is that SEGA has failed to produce a college football game. I'd really prefer controlling my favorite college team over the pros any day. And since I refuse to buy EA, I've been out of luck.
Lets hope that Sega comes out with a great college game next year.
You know one big advantage it has over it's competition (at least the MS flavor of competition?)
I know exactly where my e-mail is stored on my computer. If T-bird ever crashes or if I need to copy the entire in-box I can do it easilly.
In Outlook Express, the location of the mail is hidden. With absolutely no information on how to find it in the help-files or MS website. Further you can't export your mail to any easilly accesible format. I can't count how many messages I've lost simply because I was updating to a new HD and there was absolutely no easy way to migrate with OE.

Does it offer the ability to have an auto-updating word count in the status bar yet?
This extension seems to do exactly that.

I've never used it, but I hope it works for you.
It's got everyone even remotely connected to technology talking about Microsoft.

Pathetic.
The article says it was "developed natively." So this is definitely not the win.exe version wrapped in Wine?

One branch of the U.S. government acts in a sane and rational manner, not to mention appropriate regard for the Constitution.

I didn't even understand the news article.
Me am sure math smart.
Hey, thanks, I appreciate the effort and the link.
Don't support Openoffice.org. I mean how hard can it be to implement searching in an open XML format?
I won't use it until they do.

Using Firefox 1.0.
I followed the appropriate links allowing cookies to be placed by citibank. The window was indeed hijacked.
I then followed the same links but this time not allowing citibank to place any cookies. The window was not hi-jacked.
Be aware of what/who is placing cookies on your machine!
