Microsoft looks to have come up with a Rube Goldberg version of Pentax' elegant "Shake Reduction" SR system that's been in their DSLR bodies for years.
"If a meta-analysis is conducted by an individual or organization with a bias or predetermined desired outcome, it should be treated as highly suspect or having a high likelihood of being "junk science". From an integrity perspective, researchers with a bias should avoid meta-analysis and use a less abuse-prone (or independent) form of research."
"He was in/near my house" is not a reasonable answer to "Why the hell did you shoot that guy?".
If he was IN my house, uninvited, it IS a reasonable excuse to "shoot that guy." Period. I can logically assume he is not there to do me any favors, else he would knocked.
Give me one good instance where an uninvited, unknown person, in the middle of the night, should be allowed in a person's house without legal recourse???
In the U.S., property ownership still trumps criminals' "rights," as it should.
They probably ARE keeping a file, but not for the reason you hope. Mostly because citizens who understand the Constitution, and remember that Thomas Jefferson once said, "the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants," are a stumbling block to wider and wider police powers. That that makes them a threat.
2) A coders job does not start and finish when the clock on and off for the day - there is usual (and expected - as in some other disciplines also) continual problem solving that occurs all day and all night - remember most coding is problem solving. I certainly do not stop when I leave the office - this is just where my output hits my employers disks.
Which is why I no longer do that for a living (sysadmin now)... I was dreaming lines of code at night. It sucked.
Yeah, whatever. Yes, I know it's all very fashionable to pine on about -or versus -our spellings...beating a dead horse comes to mind. Face it, our way of spelling "color" is simply more efficient.
Besides, I've been spelling it that way too long to change:
"Webster's 1828 dictionary featured only -or and is generally given much of the credit for the adoption of this form in the United States."
The problem is, many people assigning deadlines don't have a clue. A persistent problem in almost any business is the over-optimistic deadlines. Or over-optimistic sales figures. Or over-optimistic [insert desired results here]. People always want/need something faster, and think that short deadlines are the way to achieve that. T'ain't often the case.
Well, add another Linux user to the demand for a native port of Picasa. Picasa under WINE sucks, especially with its brain-dead directory system.
Guess I don't have to worry about Chrome...not only does it not install automagically after download as advertised, but attempting to run it manually results in:
I used my MP2000 daily until a month ago. It suddenly lost its mind and all the data on its internal memory (stuff on my two pcmcia cards was okay, including a backup). It restored okay, but now I'm not sure I trust it. Maybe it was a fluke. I dunno. Still, there's something to be said for all that screen real estate.

Cheaper than the Kindle, and OPEN. Meet those two criteria and they'll sell by the boat-load.

Pay for storage AND maintenance of said storage. The ISPs shouldn't be forced to spend a dime on this, even if it does pass.
Police-only encrypted portals?
Hmmmm... sounds like a challenge.
If KDE isn't stable on your machine, then you still have crappy hardware. Or are you just editorializing?
Si vis pacem, para bellum.
At least the focus IS set to the search field. It always irked me that wikipedia requires an extra mouse-click before it's usable. Lame.
So. Android it is, then. That was an easy decision.

P.s Thank you for spelling colour with a "u".

China has plenty of assets in the US, which can be ceased, if the judge says so...
Or seized, even.
"God, i miss when computers were fun."
This. +1
I heard it as marketing sushi as "cold, dead fish."

Win95 didn't kill the Amiga, the new owners did, coupled with the first viable alternative that was available at the time...Linux.

Syntax error: newline unexpected
Oh, well...
Indeed, that is correct.

Anyone post an image to run on VMware Player?

What is the point of this story on slashdot? It's not tech related
Pagers.
I has one. Gen-u-wine IBM issue.
Soooo...does this mean Kuickshow will work now? As in, show thumbnails?
