Does anyone have a link to the story? Because I use Vista64 with an HDCP capable DVI monitor monitor running at 1900x1200 and have no problem watching Netflix or any other videos. What exactly is this Guy doing that is special? He talks about giving "Access" to his files, which means he's somehow denying it access in the first place. I'll reserve judgment until I can read the post, but it doesn't pass the smell test.
I've done this for years with Windows and Linux, as have most people. My biggest annoyance (and I'm sure others' too) is that we don't want to shutdown everything we're doing in Linux to boot into Windows for a little gaming. Sometimes, I want to take a break from a game to check my mail, surf the web or check on a background downloading. If I'm booting into windows for gaming, those things that I want to do in linux become unavailable.

Hate to break it to you, but Visual Studio 2003/2005 does code folding very well. Most people around here seem to love to trash DevStudio, unfortunately, its unjustified, it remains the best IDE out there to date (for the languages that it supports). I wish there was a Unix equivalent, I try KDevelop every now and then to see how it's coming along, but I have yet to be satisfied (and yes, I've tried eclipse).
This is where people fail to realize how the electoral system works. First off, no one has been elected president yet. States have simply held a poll to let thier electors know who people want them to vote for. The Actually election doesn't happen until the Monday following the second Wednedsay in December. If enough electors decided to switch sides and vote for Kerry, then he would become President. Kerry conceding doesn't mean he can't get elected, it just means he admits that he has lost. If it turns out that that isn't true, or if the electoral college changes it's mind, then he becomes president. Just like if the electors decided all to vote for Howard Stern, even though he isn't running, well, then he's president. See http://people.howstuffworks.com/question472.htm for more info on the electoral system.
They're using special versions of the Terra-Hydra, http://www.camillc.com/, as tour buses in the Philadelphia area. They take you crusiing on the Delaware river and then drive around town. Pretty cool if you ask me. I don't know if the tour is any good, since I haven't done it, but it's definitely a cool idea.
The problem is that even though you can play quicktime under linux, doing so is still in the shady area of legality. There are no native libraries to read the sorenson codec. Currently, developers have to resort to tricks using the windows DLLs and bits from wine. As for some other complaints, it's a closed format, and protected by patents. The ability to do something isn't enough to justify it being okay. I want to be able to fully and legally do it.
I did a quick search for "percentage of porn internet usage" on google. I got a wealth of sites about porn and internet percentages relating to porn, I didn't get any porn sites themselves. Another option is to turn on google filtering so it won't show the porn sites (I had filtering off for my search and it still worked great) I don't know why you were getting only porn sites themselves.
Just want to take the moment to gloat and be proud that the Company I work for, Analytical Graphics, is playing a huge role in assisting in the deorbit. We also have a Mir De-Orbit Video that shows how Mir will most likely burn up upon re-entry.
Both competing desktops, KDE and Gnome are working on many of the points you make. For starters, QT already has support for hebrew as well as KDE. There Konqueror web browser can display Hebrew without a problem. Gome has some similiar efforts with Pango. Furthermore, for reading Office files: While I find KOffice currently no very usable for editing and working, it has an excellent Word filter that can even do 2000 documents, an Excel filter is in the works. I'm also sure StarOffice can do Word and Excel already. All and all, it's only a matter of time before your problems are solved. In the meantime, it's hard to accept, but there's always a possibility that Windows is your best option.
Since over a year ago Philadelphia switched over to a 10 digit system, what this means is I have to dial 10 digits no matter what. So, 215-xxx-xxxx even though it's the phone next door. If I get a new line put in, it might be 610-xxx-xxxx even though it's in the same house with 215. It's not bad at all really, after the initial switch over. I just hope that they budget numbers a little better, rather than sticking them in huge blocks like they used to.
I'm not trying to troll or anything, but I've noticed an increasing trend hear on/. Mainly, when a article gets posted dealing with a hot topic, i.e. mozilla or KDE/GNOME debate... There's always a few biased posts that completely praise the named product. In this case, mozilla. I'm all for making mozzila the best browser available, just as I am for making GNOME AND KDE great desktop environments, downing any open project is a Bad Thing(tm) BUT I find it hard to believe mozilla is fast and stable on a 166. I've been running the builds(out of cvs) for a long time now and it chugs slowly along even on a P3 500. So how about some honest comments for a change instead of just praising a project because you like it.
I was under the impression that AOL had opened the protocol up earlier to let clones like GAIM enact with the protocol. Wasn't this what prompted the whole Microsoft-AOL battle, where AOL kept trying to lock MS out? However, I think this is the way it should be-this will enable people to use clones of AIM without fear of compatibility issues.
AOL Actually has 2 protocols. One is the toc protocol, which is a much simpler string-based protocol that only has one server, toc.aol.com. It does not allow fine grained control such as changing passwords and such, but only provides the basic communications. OSCAR, the main AIM protocol is proprietary. Altough several attempts at reverse-engineering the protocol are in affect.
Part of the bootleg taping issue is that the MP3s are often NOT CD or perfect copies. The fans which download this stuff, most of which are on 56k lines still, are getting cassette quality crud because it downloads faster. Someone has sold metallica a boatload of crud, Lars believes that everyone on Napster are making/getting perfect copies.
Last time I checked, one of the biggest complaints of Napster was that it was eating up bandwith on college campuses. I'v noticed many of the mp3 rips on Napster had the quality settings jacked up to 192 bits and such. Most of the trading is done over campus T1 lines, not 56k modems.
Now, what if hardware implants, allowed several people to actually "network" their brains together. Now all thoughts from each individual would actually become the thoughts of all the individuals networked together. The way I see it, 1 of a few things can happen at this point, 1)The groupd of people become bvery Borg-like, in the fact that they all eventually will fall into a common thought pattern and lose identidty of the self. 2)The strongest mind will domintae the others, and thus the individuals would all come under the will of one. and 3)IT will result in a multiple-personality like disorder, and all participants would go mad. Scary thought if you ask me, but I figure someone will try this, eventually.

In addition to Bing Maps, NORAD is also using a new open source, WebGL-based, 3D globe called Cesium: http://cesium.agi.com/2012/11/30/NORAD-Tracks-Santa-Tech-Preview/
This is one of the most significant uses of WebGL to date and will hopefully do a lot to increase awareness of the technology.
Disclaimer: I work on Cesium.

You realize that Alpha Centauri has an official Linux version correct? I know, I own it.
Apparently he's using Excel as his web server too...
