Um, we're not talking about a third party feature that some users might download and install. (There are already some and have been for some time, but who's using them?...right)
Rather, we're talking about another M$ 'Feature' that you'll likely be hard pressed to remove.
Did you read the article? Don't you get it? M$ is putting a feature in their browser (Which is forced upon us, as will this new feature) that creates 'PRE DEFINED LINKS' out of the content in the page. Links that M$ themselves PRE-DEFINED!
I'm sorry, but if you still don't see the problem, well, you are either in kindergarden or you work for M$.
Whatever works for you, but don't condemn what works for others.
I also suffered major wrist/arm problems until I got a gel mouse pad, gel wrist pad and fully adjustable keyboard tray.
Besides, where is the logic in the idea that holding your arms, wrists, and hands up in the air all day is going to help any?
If I am not mistaken, the reason for holding your arms in this position is not because resting your wrists on something is bad, but rather usually keyboards are too low so resting your wrists 'bends' them too much. (thus why I got an adjustable keyboard tray so that I can place my keyboard at whatever height is most comfortable.)
Well, personally I'm glad that I could pick one up and cram a couple of g of ram in there without going to Bill Gates for a personal loan. More specifically, why would you want to spend up to 10x the price for ram that sure as hell isn't running 10x faster?
Oh, so if I'm found to be more susceptible to CTS, I shouldn't be alowed to use my brain in a computing environment. Rather, I should be a greeter at walmart or something?
Just because I _may_ test positive for some genetic flaw doesn't mean that I won't be right for the job. If I am fully capable of getting a job, and have no problem performing said job, WHY THE HELL SHOULD ANYONE BE PENALIZED FOR A POSSIBLE GENETIC FLAW THAT MAY OR MAY NOT CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS AT ALL!!!???
Use some god-damned common sense and look at where this will inevitably lead if corporations are allowed to continue on in this direction.
OK then, just what the f is this site?
I see nested tables everywhere...
Give my frickin intelligence a break would you and find something real to criticize rather than prove that you are an absolute blithering moron.
BTW, I've been visiting/., gamecenter, _and_ gamespot for a very long time. The true looser here in terms of technology and site performance is clearly, hands downn and without any doubt, SLASHDOT!!!
I was in grade 5 at the time.
I walked in the door to my house after school, and sat down with my mom to watch the launch. Not 2 minutes later, BOOM!!!. I actually cried at that time.
If I hadn't witnessed it live, I certainly wouldn't have anywhere close to the memory of the incident as I do today.
WOW! Look at all the great advice streaming out of these ANONYMOUS COWARDS!
I neither know nor care whether Bob Abooey is trustworthy or not, why the hell would I listen to ANY of you LOOSERS who bitch about KNOWN USERS who ACTUALLY LOGIN rather than posting as ANONYMOUS COWARDS!!!
SHUT THE FUCK UP UNTIL YOU GROW THE FUCKING BALLS TO ACTUALLY SHOW YOUR FACE!!!.
As far as I am concerned, all ANONYMOUS COWARD postings have exactly ZERO credibility with me. Fuck off you whiney little bitches and crawl back to your yahoo chat page and lie some more about yourself.
Looks more like badly compressed jpeg's to me!
Does everything have to be blurred?
Could be an awesome effect, if used appropriately and in small quantities rather than just because they can as these shots appear to be.
Most of Corel's business has been coming from the US govt, lawyers and universities. Only a tiny trickle of revenue comes from Canadian Govt depts.
I do not believe this is correct, there are many facets of the Canadian Gov. still locked into contracts with COREL. As I mentioned before, I do not have statistics at hand, or I would have posted all of them. I do however recall that not even a year ago, still a full 45% of Corel's business was from the Canadian government.
My father is a Manager for the Ministry of Community and Social Services, and they just switched their division over to MS in January, 2000. They had been trying to for 4 years previous but couldn't due to their contract with Corel.
You are entirely correct in stating that this goes back to Mulroney's PC's, they are the ones who signed on to stupidly long contracts for exorbitant amounts of money.
The proof is in the pudding is it not?
OK, sure WordPerfect definately has it's rightful place in the word processor market but...
Any graphical artists out there using CorelDraw?
Didn't think so...oh wait, you say you do? Well then, you're obviously not a real graphical artist.
CorelDraw is the _worst_ graphics suite ever made, period. Any artist who has ever tried to use it knew right away that it was written by people whom had no idea what graphics are or how they are made, in the tangible or electronic world.
Before I started using PShop many years ago, I tried Corel Draw, and guess how long it took to decide that MSPaint was the clear winner?
If this comes as a surprise to anyone, well...you didn't exactly have to read between the lines.
COREL is fubar and has been for a quite a while. They've managed to do an admirable job of clinging on by their fingernails over the past few year, but their time is up.
Something that you may very well be unaware of, basically, COREL exists because the Canadian government has used COREL products extensively over the years. I don't have any exact figures on hand, but I can say with certainty that 80% of all of COREL's past business has been with the Canadian Government.
So, COREL started screwing up their graphics and office suites about 2 years ago. The Canadian Government in turn stopped renewing COREL licenses in favor of other suites. (MS has replaced a huge amount of the gov's traditionally COREL usage)
Obviously, with the Can. Gov. being the only thing supporting COREL on a significant level, this really hurt their pocket books, and the slide started.
Since then COREL has been trying absolutely everything to try and make a quick buck, none of which have worked. I personally thought it would be the nail that sealed their coffin when I first heard that COREL was going to port to LINUX. How did they expect that dumping millions into the project could possibly generate the required revenue's in a short enough period of time when there was (and is) really no market for traditional licensed apps on the linux platform?
Who did they think was going to pay?
Well, they've got their answer haven't they? (yet again, same story different day...)
I see that last fingernail getting weaker daily.
Yeah, so, isn't that colecovision you've got stashed in your closet good enough for you then? You don't want new features and eye-candy, then stick to the classics...as for the rest of us...

This is absolutely freaking heinous.

I'd rather see them stuffed into their own personal cans of 'spam' tx, but I guess jail will do for now.
