Why should the recording quality suffer due to instantaneous recording? Storing the audio on a HD is quite lossless, right? And where between that and writing the track unto a CD would you lose even one bit, if set up correctly?
99% of/. readers wouldn't mind or even notice that, as the articles are generously ignored for the most part. But wait, this one's got to have pictures...
Who in their right minds would even think about interviewing T'Pol? Probably she was not available and out having her airbags re-fitted and vulcanized, though. Those are the series' major flaw IMO, but apart from that, her character and acting are just cool.
The dog has to go, btw, once and for all, now that I think of it. Stupid puppy.
Sure mon, the experience of your laptop or desktop pc BSOD'ing in a live situation is still to be topped. "And now, ladies and gentlemen, for a minute or three of total silence while the system reboots. Let me peruse this occasion to...".
I just wished the state of musical applications for Linux et al. were any more advanced. Anyone have an update on DeMuDi? Lost track of that long time ago. Guess I'm just lazy though.
...and drawings as well. You can really scribble and smear away like you would (hey, I always did that to my college books, it's half the fun of reading, or, on a more serious note, an essential part of working / struggling with the text) in a paper work.
But keeping focused on the text is the main problem, I do agree with a previous poster on that point. Another round of Mah-Jongg is by far too close around the corner, and then my Jornada is also capable of playing mp3s... Get me a _real_ ebook with a larger screen and better resolution, and see me fully chime in: they rock.
Nope, they won't. Instead, let me take this opportunity to place my comment relatively top of page: thanks to usenet still working like it should, I already have HP 1-4 as ebooks, and already uploaded onto my HP (ermh!) Jornada, too. Not that this fact would make it more likely for me to actually read these buggers, but it feels good anyway. Got LOTR on there, too, so it could be a while before I'm intrigued to try some pages...
Yah, clay mice would be perfect. Whenever you get real pissed while gaming or surfing, you could just throw it against your monitor, or the wall, and it would stick. I'd love to see that. - - - Wooden mice, OTOH, I'd be too scared of splinters to really let go while fragging...
Same here. Plus, I'm busy enough trying to ignore Xmas, just like every year. Just curious: with so little people really being religious these days, why is hardly anyone consistent enough as to replace the holidays by, say, a years' end celebration week?
I'm quite sure they paid proper attention to that. The fact that you don't see much on the pictures now should be due to the fact that it's nighttime and Xmas holidays there right now, and the last one leaving turned off (most of) the lights. Perfect place and time for a Seinfeld quote: "Come back, next year!"
Why would you need one? You're nowhere near the coffee machine anymore, anyway. I'm better off. As Der Spiegel is located here at Hamburg, it is merely half an hour for me from a quick glance via the cam down to their offices to borrow a hot pot. Still quite some lottery game, but hey! Free coffee!
I'd like some chemical analysis being built in there and displayed online as well, though, just to make sure no-one put in decaffeinated 'coffee'...
It is worse: [quote]"If I leave my keys in my car because it's convenient for me, and somebody steals my car, is that my fault?"[unquote] Yes, for god's sake it is, and all I might add is that every company has the CSO it deserves.
One thinh that always bugged me about IE is that it won't show you the raw URL of a link you're pointing the mouse at, as opposed to Netscape/Mozilla (dunno about Opera) displaying it in the bottom bar. If that's not overridden by some javascript, of course. But then, it is Mozilla that I would expect an option to disable those from rather than from Microsoft. The original poster is right, IE does patronize surfers too much, and their security zones concept is pure crap. Set your preferences according to secure standards, and try to visit microsoft.com or to download some plugin then...
Yes. Completely different concepts, John Brunner sworn into enlightenment, and Shea and Wilson all hands up for conspiracy theories, but otherwise, yes.
Can't mention John Brunner often enough, as he's almost forgotten these days. He had the most accurate view of what the present would be like today, and he wrote it down starting from the late sixties. Stand On Zanzibar, The Sheep Look Up and The Shockwave Rider, people, do yourselves a favor and read>/b> those books.
Yes, I was about to post the same three titles. Just started to read "Stand On Zanzibar" again last week, curious enough. At least he _should_ still be read in 50 years from now, but judging from the number of posts out of the >700 here that mention his name (two, excluding this one), it is most unlikely he will. It is getting harder ordering his books, too.
Anyhow, John Brunner's predictions are the single most real and striking ones I ever read. Talk about genetic engineering, corporations buying out whole nations, people running amok and the role of computers within the society ("Stand On Zanzibar", 1968), talk about the internet and a clear view of the freedom as well as the dangers it provides ("The Shockwave Rider", 1975).
Last but not least his works are a fun read, I enjoy it a lot.
Restricting language is a bad thing, agreed. But is this really the case here? (As of yet..) Microsoft are not restricting what you type or print at all, they are merely trying to prevent their spell checker from making embarrassing suggestions, right?
Embarrassing to them, in most cases, I'm certain there are dozens of galleries of tell-all screenshots around on the net. There'll still be enough material left for those, the 'baddest' words don't necessarily make up for the funniest lines.
Not what he said. He said XP won't support his controller, hence neither of the two large drives. File systems for either OS were his choice, obviously.
You first found XP faster, and then Win2K?;)

Well, does this mean you can Snow Crash (tm) that thing? Bill Gates as Hiro Protagonist and Linus Thorvalds as Raven? Not likely, methinks...
You stupid f*$#, BBT has been married to Angelina Jolie for some years now. No need for additional chicks, methinks.

If you are serious about that, here is where they are located[free registration might be necessary].
