On the PC version, it was always conceived of as a purely single-player experience. [...] Whereas, because the console market is different, because people like to play together.
What? Can anyone find out if they signed into some sort of contract agreement with Microsoft (for Xbox) that limited them in this respect?
Because otherwise, I mean, I don't buy this bullshit for a second.
Of course, seeing how the version beyond Office XP was Office 2003, they obviously changed their minds.
I don't know about all that - the web interface for Outlook 2003 is actually very usable. Nearly all the features of the desktop application. Have a look: Outlook 2003 Web Access
If IBM can reproduce a feature-rich web app like this then it could be very viable as a competitor.
Okay, I know I'm way off topic but I read the article in that link and I'd really like to know what the following at the bottom of the article was all about:
Other favorite feedback from this column: A woman (a Wal-Mart shopper, no doubt) emailed in outrage that I had used the word "blow job" in a public forum. "You are disgusting," she messaged. "How dare you use a word like 'blow-job' in your column, you fucking moron?"
Interesting comparison chart - it may be worth noting that the C# Version 2.0 standard introduces both Function Literals and Templates as well as some other language goodies.
I doubt it will ever allow inline assembler, though.
From the article: "Iomega Rev disks are engineered to provide an extremely durable and reliable shelf life, estimated to exceed 30 years," it [the company] added.
Not trying to start a flamewar - I'd really like to see how they were able to get such high reliability, and how they got to the "30 year" number. If it's true that's unprecedented reliability. (Or is it just the shelf life of the material?)
You have always been able to assign security settings to a registry key when you create it via Win32. See RegSetKeySecurity.
Both Windows 2000 Server and Windows 2003 Server allow you to specify Registry Key security through tools included with the OS.
That was a long time ago but nobody seemed to have a problem with it. Just seems natural for humans to want to share with other humans the things that make them happy. Music, books, games, other people even.
Slashdotters please note that the study cited was performed in the UK.

Oh, that's cute. You work for Groopz, eh? You don't say...
Yeah, even with a ReplayTv

'TiVo' is definitely now a verb. Which is a little annoying since I have a ReplayTv, and not a TiVo. It's just easier to say in conversation than to explain the difference.
Something similar has been around since the 50's called "digesters" that use natural waste and the methane byproduct to power generators. It may have been invented at Penn State as well, but they are expensive so there are only about 20 of them around the country.

Strangely, the new Beastie Boys album is $15 in iTunes, and $10 at BestBuy, Circuit City and Target. Why wouldn't I just buy the CD, then?
<joke>
Because the CD comes with DRM, whereas iTunes doesn... oh wait.
</joke>

I love Speakeasy. Their name is so appropriate.
You get raw internet, no strings attached.

You know, like, surf pr0n.
You don't get it. It keeps going, recursively. Two A4's equal an A3 [...]
All right, what's two A1's equal?

Grandaddy is cool too, though.

Wow. I mean.. just... Wow.
I've had a bad experience with people from penn [state], most of them talk a lot and can do little.
I'd like to hear about your "bad experience". Thx.

I'll do it - and I'll unplug my ReplayTv as well.
The weather is going to be BEAUTIFUL out next week.
I might even forget to plug it all back in.
I agree! If you want songs encoded in AAC without DRM attached, buy the CD and rip it yourself.
The _real_ solution is to have a widget that treats the iPod as a CD changer
Exactly!

What was that page? Was that a real study? Looked like a bunch of thought experiments and questions. Waste of time. You can have your "sigh" back.

Apple could quite feasibly make money on licensing fees (say 1 cent per song sold);
Nah, 7 cents per song.
It's worth the extra money for a nicer [insert Apple product name here].
