Sounds to me like you can download your music from the computer to the phone just fine, but you won't be able to copy it from the phone. Wouldn't bother me much, but it does conflict with the third panel in this.
What you're forgetting is that in many web-based applications, the data *doesn't matter* (not more than nightly backups will take care of, anyway). MySQL is perfect for a whole range of web-related work, and these new additions will make it even more useful.
And in reply to the parent of the parent of this post, I really don't see how the term vaporware fits here. Sure, MySQL is a different class of database than (for example) Postgres, but that doesn't make it a useless product. Besides, at the rate MySQL is going these days, I wouldn't be surprised if they could be considered up to par with Postgres in a few years. If they can keep the speed up there while adding new features, the competition will have a hard time... well, competing.
According to that rationale, I guess we should take the message sent by the terrorists on 9/11 very seriously. After all, whether you call it terrorism or jihad, they did go to alot of trouble.
..off topic or not, so I'll let the moderators decide. (If you didn't get Taco's reference, please refrain from moderating.)
Will there ever be a sequel to Serial Experiments Lain? There were some rumors about a year ago, but since then I haven't heard anything. Anyone have any word at all?
Well, I thought Tarantino at least wrote the story, but now when I check I see another guy credited alongside him. Maybe that explains it - Tarantino wrote the first half, the other guy the second?
..From Dusk till Dawn, which must be the ultimate example of this kind of directorial mistake. Granted, Tarantino did it with style, but I was still left feeling cheated and violated when the "splatter" part began.
..they just take silly-looking sunglasses from (insert leading vendor here) and pretend there's a screen on the inside. (Think M:I-2.)
That said, the goal here does seem to be glasses where it's impossible to detect the display technology, even with untinted lenses. I can't wait to see a fourth- or fifth-generation display from this guy mass-marketed for a reasonable price. (I'd pay the price of a high-quality 19" CRT, but not much more.)
Oh wow. Are you intentionally begging for a -1 (Flamebait), or are you just ignorant? I won't even bother to point out the idiocy of your last statement, because I know there are a hundred more eloquent slashdotters behind me waiting to do just that.
Gartner hasn't always said favorable things about Linux systems in the workplace, but the businesses that rely on this type of analysis to justify purchasing decisions may find this one interesting.
So what you're saying is they may find this one interesting since it puts down Microsoft, but they should disregard the others because they put down Linux? Just checking..
For purposes of this section, the Software means the FrontPage Web components, including the MSNBC news headline component, the MSN MoneyCentral Stock Quote component, and the MSN Search component.
Not having used FrontPage in general and any of these "web components" in particular, I don't want to draw any conclusions, but it doesn't seem like the restrictions covered in the section would come into play if you just use FrontPage as a WYSIWYG editor to design your site.
I don't see how that's morbid at all. If they'd toppled over sideways it'd have been just as bad for the people inside, but much worse for the people who'd gotten out and happened to be on the wrong side of the towers. Not to mention the structural damage to adjacent buildings, which the engineers might have been more concerned about (assuming, perhaps, that people would be well evacuated by the time the collapse happened).
Thinking again, I do see how discussing this in such detail could be construed as morbid. But this is a real issue for future engineering, and it's been made very important by the recent tragedy.
It's obvious that the engineers were extremely meticulous with the physical properties of the building as a whole, but perhaps more lives could have been saved if they had devoted more space to emergency exits?
Moderators, please read the articles before you do your thing..
The articles both seem to say Short bases his theory on online conversations with the mysterious player, not on playing style. I'm not saying that makes it less shaky evidence, but let's at least stick to the facts of the article.
Sounds like npoole wants to change the quality of his workday, not necessarily the quality of the software he produces. While I'm sure we programmers can sympathize, I think he'll have problems getting the point across to management.
I don't get it... does this really qualify as an "ultraportable subnotebook"? It's quite a bit larger and heavier than my Thinkpad 240, which is getting to be almost 18 months old now.
I guess what I'm really saying is I'm extremely happy with the size and weight of the Thinkpad 240, and I'm really puzzled as to why it's still just about the most lightweight laptop in the market. Don't people want computers they can comfortably carry around, instead of the six-pound Floppy/CD/DVD/15" monsters I see these days?
Anyway, the only gripe I have with my 240 is the battery life, which isn't much more than 80-90 minutes. Maybe it'd be better off running on a Crusoe chip? Or maybe that's what they sacrificed to get it so small... the size of the battery.

..they already have a 3G PCMCIA card available.
..Michael didn't say anything. AnonymousComrade did.
It doesn't, but I got 500 kB/s from q3ctf.de :)
I'm not sure if I like the new rail and plasma effects though. They both make me think of soap bubbles.

Nothing there but the old trailer..
As far as I can tell, that only links to Apple's site... please prove me wrong if you can.

For those wondering where Graeme's claim about the framerates were, that was in an earlier update. You can find it at QuakeFinger as well.

There was one story reporting an "unrelated fire" in the White House. Sounds implausible though.
Moderate parent up please... my thoughts exactly.
But typing is ok, it seems? :)

This just goes to show, if you want to make a cultural reference around here, you can't be subtle :)
