the length of the study does not have to be as long as the length of time during which a monitor might undergo "normal use".
Well then wouldn't normal use also include 16 hours of down time for every 8 hours of up time? After all, don't you think the cooling down and heating up of the lamp and everything around it would affect things? I'm not saying it would improve the stats...I'm just saying that 10 months straight does not equal 500 days of normal use. 500 days of normal use equals equals 500 days of normal use.
Where I come from (Montreal, Canada) they still limit how many televisions you can hook up to the cable. Basic cable includes a connection for 1 TV. Want more? $5.00 a month extra, even though any Joe could go to Radioscrap and but a splitter for the same price.
The users should be consulted primarily since they tend to have good ideas. A look over the X project proves this.
Wrong. The user will make suggestions for little tweaks or the odd enhancement, it takes someone who knows the capabilities of the system and the limitiations in implementing features to say what should/could go in next. The X project is a bad example because the users are highly technical people to begin with. If you just listen to the user, you're gonna run down some bad wild goose chases. Much better to step back and say, "do we really need to move Mt. Fuji?"
Only programmers would have the idea that NOT adding features is a good thing.... The only time that listening to the users is a bad idea is when they want to take features away.
Oh I should have realized before that this is a troll!
With RSS you still view the original website, just you get updates when the site has changed. It's really handy, I use Trillian Pro and it has a built in RSS interface, so whenever a new article shows up on slasdot I find out about it without me needing to hit their website throught the day. Then when I see an article that interests me, I just click on the RSS headline and it opens the slashdot article in a new browser.
I am curious if it gives advice for some specific things (like generating xml files with DB triggers) but in general I have to agree, 222 pages is 200 pages too much.
Runs so smooth, live templates kick, it has seriously been the greatest improvement to overall productivity since I don't know when. I cannot recommend IDEA enough, of course I don't do any visual stuff, so maybe it's weak in that area.
An article in the current issue of Wired magazine confirms what a lot of gamers were suspecting already: Microsoft is actively courting id Software for the exclusive console rights to Doom III.
That's what I figured. Thanks/. for getting peoples panties in a knot for nothing.
Adobe is one of the most consistently irritating companies on Earth with which to do business. I'd like to give you a nice button for downloading your own copy of Acrobat Reader, but they won't let me use the image without "registering" and "licensing" it, which I'm certainly not going to do in order to promote their product and its file format.
Damn straight! Hey Adobe! This guy made $50,000,000 and at one point had the 5th largest software company...he knows what he's taking about, listen to him!
They have revenue, and it has been increasing in a period where most companies revenue is shrinking. Mandrake's problem is that it's expenses, while shrinking, are still greater than its revenue.
Your IDE has its own Java VM running, and it could be different from the one you have installed. Most, if not all IDEs will let you choose which VM to use (for example I use 1.3.1_07 for work projects while using 1.4.1_02 for my own stuff, both from the same IDE).
...Lobster Thermidor a Crevette with a mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam...
Um, what brand of microwave are you using, and do you accept dinner guests?
It would map geographic features. A mountain is a geographic feature, a church is a geographic feature (on a map at least), a tank is NOT a geographic feature.

Those aren't crunch berries, they're ass berries. What, nobody told you?
I soooo can't wait until I'm home from work to find out where that link goes. They are the bane of the earth, and yet I can't stop looking!

What about the starship in Spaceballs, the one that transformed into Mega Maid?

yeah, now I can print my own shit tickets.
I was young and foolish, and a strong believer who wanted to see Palm succeed. I only owned 3 shares. They were more symbolic than anything else.
12% Holy somalia that's a lot of pahoyhoy! Next time I get in on an IPO, it'll be as an investment banker.
Why didn't you tell me that two years ago!! :-)
You mean rejuvenate over-valued internet-company investments. Am I the only one who paid $85 for Palm stock? No way I'm falling for that one again.

Oh man does it ever. Who can forget when Roddy Pipper full-suplexed a guy on concrete! Thanks for the memories!
