Ok why do I find it disturbing that I can buy AMD processors from my favorite dealer mwave for less than the price AMD is saying it sells them to direct AMD customers in 1000-unit trays of course I'm assuming there, that the price is per processor not per thousand!:)
I so could have told you about VLB and and Voodoo3, but dude, duron and athlons use the same MB, and its not like you'll be missing the newest drivers for the duron. Hell best you can hope for is the duron dying under warrenty, and they have to end up giving you an athlon to replace it when because they have no more durons. HEHEHE
Any guesses on what country will demand to set the terms of this treaty. And then turn around and say that we have to comply to be in line with Europian policy on this issue?
Thats not really true, they can claim that they thought someone lost it and they were trying to return the item. It really depends upon the intent, which is easy to prove in car theft, and very difficult to prove when someone picks something off the street.
How is your name associated with it, the activation process doesn't make you enter your name. But I bet you can call the MS at the phone activation number and say you want to transfer your license to someone else, if you did associate your name.. silly.
Document Object Model. Generally its a higharchy or variables about your page (basically everything on the page can be referenced in some way) that javascript (or some other method) can reference and change. The speed of this reference matters for dynamic web pages, but I have seen very little evidence showing that mozilla has a slow DOM, but a LOT of discussion about it.
Does anyone know how to block bonzi from contacting MS for updates or new ads or spyware or whatnot. The old women in my office won't stop installing him and get all pissed of if I talk about removing him. So wondering if I can just ring his neck?
Wow, I remembered in the first MS trial it was mentioned that way back when MS threatend the removal of office from Mac if they didn't put IE on the desktop. This is what created the contract I believe. Sounds like Apple is saying.. SO we will remove IE, unless you make a Mac version of office, apple pulling the other side of the same tug rope. Great Stuff!
Not true, cheap entertainment is generally the last item people stop spending money on. A CD is still cheap as you pay 15 dollars and get to listen to it forever. Its an inexpensive way to forget about your problems. Luxery items, services (as well as addons to your entertainment, such as premium cable etc), and name brands generally are the first to go.
hmm xulmine doesn't work in latest version of mozilla. Thats why we are working so hard on getting mozilla 1.0 ready (1.0 represents an API freeze where something programmed for mozilla 1.0 will work in all 1.0 versions through nonchanging apis and backwards compatibility, instead of the constant changes that are currently happening to mozilla as it is getting ready for its API freeze.)
http://www.mozdev.org/projects.html many of these are mozilla ports, but some are programs that arn't browsers that run in the XUL. Many people have already programmed Jabber and other IM programs in mozilla, that simply run from uncompiled XUL and JS (XUL is a tag format simular to HTML that is used for creating menu structures and other UI needs for programs) There is a telnet client MUDzilla, even though mozilla wasn't programmed to do this. Mozcalc, simple calculator. and of course the best use of mozilla technology. http://www.nrr.co.uk/xulmine/
Yes, but arriving into a slashdot discussion 6 hours late generally leaves your comment pretty much unnoticed. Not to mention the fact that all the first posters would set their time to 0 while the normal posters would probably have a few minutes delay, thus leading to even more annoyance.
Well most likly what will happen is mozilla will be on the new aol CDs and as AOL knows the exact version they are installing on everybodies computer, as well as the exact versions of IE that came with previous AOLs it should be no trouble for them to program the transition seemlessly, nobody should really notice.
Yea, but Mozilla is an backend architecture for internet applications. While netscape 4.x was just a browser and an email program. YES most of the networking components should have been reused, no reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater. But as the complete underlying API is different, very little of the code could have been reused to create the product that mozilla is today. It may have gotten here faster, but it would just be another browser, the market has enough browsers, mozilla architecture is something innovative and once accepted could truly create innovation in the market place.
Hu? analogies are slightly wrong, the man who started Scientology wrote it, so a better analogy would be Mein Komf (spelling?) because Hitler wrote it.
So by not having a long distance carrier, you can't make any long distance calls. But, your saying that occasionally, a carrier will mess up and patch you through, and not be able to bill you?.
Yes, but if the OEMS had this choice, they could put the peices together for the user, and create brand recognition at the same time. As it is now, there really isn't a difference form OEM to OEM how the computer looks when you buy it (sorta like how the linux distributions differ its more than possible that prebuild windows machines can differ greatly, I remember when they did back in the win3.1 days. If consumers want all the computers too look the same, the market will go that way, but currently the market doesn't have a choice.
Its the fact that all this MS software comes with your computer, and the OEM is forced to supply all this extra software with your computer it sells. So the average user then has pretty much everythig he/she wil ever need, thus destroying the market for competative software. Small example think when you had to get your phone from your telcom, and you had no other choice. There was no buisness for people who wanted to make telephones, to sell publically, but that really didn't matter, cause there never was. Well there used to be buisness for people who wanted to offer webbrowsers, or media players, or any number of items. Now there is not.
Actually some of those carribian etc long distance calls simply get the normal ammount of money for handling a overseas call (which obviously your phone company will pay for) but have special deal with their phone company in which if they can keep the petirson on the line for a long me, they carrier in that island will give that company a cut of the money made.
Hmm have to do some research on that, but I believe kryptonite came from their sun or something, not the actual planet (cause while they didn't have powers on their original planet they also wern't wollowing in pain their entire lives from the kryptonite. Like I said I'll have to look it up.

No its like pharoh pharoh oh no.. let my people go.. Not like Pizza pizza.. silly.

You know this feature can be set to a timmer so you have to press against the wall for a while not just touch it.
