Wha? My aluminum power book has a circular power bottom with the universal on/off symbol. On sleep mode the battery lasts about 5 days before it hits 18%.
I know it's a joke, but they really do send people out to test reception in the same way as the commercial. I know an engineer from Verizon Wireless who was offered a chance visit France and Belgium, follow a predefined route, and every 10 miles call in to check the reception.
Out of curiosity, did your headphone jack get messed up? I had a Karma for about 4 months and then the jack stopped working properly - crackling, hissing, etc. I've heard others had this problem too.
Although, in his defense, he is captaining a sinking ship. Verizon (the land-line communication company) is lately having a lot of troubles, while the daughter company, Verizon Wireless (which has its own officers and infrastructures) is kicking ass. VZW has toyed with *buying* Verizon, so that should tell you something. Verizon's CEO is probably a little panicky right now, and given the current state of affairs at Verizon, I would believe that he's not a great CEO, so saying stuff like this is realistic.
Seriously, what service do you have? In three different counties, I can't walk around any of our offices without the damn phone cutting out at certain areas.
OTOH, OsDir deserves it. Look at the screenshots! How many of them are actually useful? OsDir loves posting too many screenshots whenever they review something.
Oh hey! This OS lets you move the mouse to the RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN TOO! Take a shot!!!
There *is* a point to it. If you drive out to the beach and stop, the car will start bouncing. You will lose money, but if you have 100 health, your health will be increased to 125 (above normal maximum). Then when you're finished get out, kill the hooker, and get your money back.
One of our customers started blocking zip files. So now we either rename them to zi_ or use another kind of compression (rar, gzip, etc.). What on earth is the difference? A virus can latch on to whatever it wants - it would take almost no effort on the part of the author.
What will fix this is more knowledgeable users and up-to-date antivirus software. My own users get viruses from other people, but either the antivirus software catches it, or they simply call and ask what they should do (delete or send it to me first).
Soon our customer will probably start blocking rar files, then zi_ files. It is the probably one of the laziest ways to block viruses, and not really that effective at it.
I realize that.Net is not a language. It is a set of libraries and the common language runtime. So I guess I meant "Does VS.Net run on top of.Net|?" So sorry, and thank you for your very-nformative-and not-at-all know-it-all reply.:)
I think the most interesting question about IE7 is: will it be written with.Net? Microsoft seems to think that developers should all jump on the.Net bandwagon, but they seem rather reluctanct to do it with any of their big products.
IE.Net (or rather, mshtml.Net) would be a great way to show off the supposed security enhancements that.Net brings.
(Aside: Is Visual Studio now written in.Net? If it is, no wonder it's so much slower than VS6.)
They are not cheap-and-nasty. They are primarily for embedded development, and can be quite expensive. They usually have everything a modern computer needs: ethernet, multi-megabyte storage, RAM, graphics adapter, etc. Most of the time a low-power CPU (like ARM) or an older x86 (486 or early Pentium). Sometimes they even include a small LCD display.
Go for it, but do the two-system part *the right way*. The American founders originally wanted the Senators to be elected by *state government*, not the people. This was part of their checks-and-balances system. The House of Representatives were elected by the people, to represent their interests. The Senate was elected by the governments, to represent their interests. Our current system makes both houses accountable to the fickle public.
The LiveJournal outage doesn't surprise, they probably don't have a large redundant power system.
Now *financial* data centers, that's something to see. One company has the exact same building in three different locations. Half the building is a mirror of the other half. Each half has its own generators, UPS batteries, data center, etc.
And for all the money they poured into these facilities things *still* aren't right. Although I bet with Internap/LiveJournal they didn't spend too much time and on redundant power systems, and hell, maybe they're batteries were old pieces of crap that failed immediately.

I boot my powerbook G4 in verbose mode. It seems to hang after mv'ing files...but I waited awhile and it then it continued booting.

I thought your post said "National Oceanic & Atmospheric Admiration"
Like, wow...check that atmosphere...the colors...groovy. We should...totally colonize space...
Oh no no no.
I don't need a DualTentacleShock controller!

Woah. So when you beat the game and she takes her top off there's no jubblies, only a biggie-sized order of fries? Freaky. I could get into that.

Qt on Windows and wxWidgets are about the same - they're both heavyweight toolkits.
Does picasa allow you to caption the images when you make a web gallery?

Which would account for brain damage of the copy-paste support.
