less likely, because Mr. Jobs has already said people don't want to watch videos on their 3" screen. reading some of the comments here, he may well be right on the money.
we start seeing "Lysol, effective against nanobacteria!"
seriously, sometimes you wish things wouldn't be discovered, because the people in the world cannot handle them. they run around "OMG! the end of the world is near because I've got bacteria!"
and it's not really mail. it's more iCal. iCal + exchange. as in, let me talk to exchange with ical. i'd love to get rid of entourage, the slowest mail client ever.
I know I can block them through various means, but I worry about the impact that all of the people who will not be blocking them (due to disinterest, lack of knowledge, or whatever) will have on google. One of the best things about google is that it's so simple and low bandwidth relatively speaking
Of course, I actually didn't mind the text ads. I even used them on occasion. Now, I'm going to have people putting in goddamn obnoxious animated gifs and the like. The FAQ says they are limited to 50KB size. That's about 500 times more than a current text ad.
They used to have higher fuel efficiency cars. without lots of hybrid tech. The CRX HF (granted, very small) had over 50mpg.
My 1992 civic vx hatchback has 80k miles on it (got it for a song, low mileage) gets..get this.. 50 mpg. that's a 12 year old car. Most of my driving is highway, but we don't ahve an efficient public transportation system (I live in the west && !California, which means that public trans is a lot more scarce).
But the demand was for huge SUVs. People want to feel safe. People want to have the status symbol.
I think this is a stab at MS's core business

Red Hat Desktop Unveiled
·
· Score: 3, Insightful
Take a look at it: 1) the explanation page at redhat doesn't list any packages, other than those that have to do specifically with office-level work.
2) they are making sure to mention how compatible with MS Office all the software is.
3) they cover their asses in the case of special software with the Citrix and VMware thing
4)someone above commented that it only supports single cpu machines. How many secretaries and managers do you know with dual cpu machines? they don't need them, simple as that. I will grant it's kinda sad that they are not including the smp kernel, but still, it removes support issues
5) also note the support for diskless clients (under features and benefits) for those terminal-type environments.
I agree with most people that it seems a little pricy for stripped down, bundled up AW3 though. But I still wish I would have had this when we were deploying AW3 initially. I might have gotten a bunch of these for regular terminals and desktop machines for people who don't do much compiling.
why? she wanted a small music player, she was in the market. i could have gotten her one of the dozen 128 meg or 256 meg models, but I got this one
1) it's small..really small 2) it's dead easy to use 3) it "just works", which is a big deal to my wife, despite her CS and Math degree. she hates fiddling with stuff 4) it came in pink 5) I got it engraved with a romantic saying for valentine's day
I cannot tell you how important factors like "pink" and "small" and "easy to use" are to people outside of the 18-25 yr old males.
the baseball players when I went to college were universally regarded as the _dumbest_ of the sports players. Some of the least hostile, but certainly not a lot of voltage.
Now, the entire team of lesbian basketball players... they were obviously more intelligent...
I remmeber a while back, when itunes was relatively new, there was an article that detailed a good many of the restrictions places on people who wanted to publish on itunes. two of those were $1 a song and, more importantly, no picking and choosing which songs were available for download. the whole shebang, or nothing.
I now see a lot of albums with only a few songs available for download, and some saying "album only". go look up shakira's new one (if only to see shakira, she's a hottie:)
IIRC, japan takes it's crime very seriously, compared to say.. the US (disclaimer: I'm a native of the USA). Criminals move with the expectation of being caught, because the cops in Japan are highly efficient, work selflessly, etc etc. I hear some figure about how criminals in Japan have a 80-90% chance of being caught, where as in the US, it's more like 20-30%.
Well, i would easily believe that P2P software is used mainly for trading of copyrighted material and pornography. Even done a search for something other than porn or copyrighted material? Probably some people have, but not everyone, probably not even a majority
Now, I am aware of bittorrenting legally and the like (indeed, I got bittorrent banned at my work because I use it to get redhat isos), so please don't jump on me for actually supporting a point in the article.
Doesn't make it right that they write up these docs for the AG.
as stated in the article, they didn't hold them for 15 days, specifically designed for preventing this sort of thing.
But isn't there a law on the books about buying stolen goods? I always thought that that was a crime as well.
EB is obviously not looking at the big picture here. They want to recoup the cost of the stuff that they bought. However, a good response here (like giving her her stuff and sucking the loss), is going to win a good customer (this store did the right thing, that's why I purchase from them).
You would think that people would start using gpg/pgp for their internal emails now. There are other solutions, but this is one case where youj _don't_ want the keys in escrow. You want them changed, regularly.
At least, that's the way I see it from SCOs perspective.
I have a athlon 2600 on my desk, and a 1Ghz powerbook. No question, the desktop is faster, but honestly, I mostly use the desktop for gaming. OS X is nice for more than just speed.
A lot of what I've seen here confirms my suspicions, that for the java that I run (in this case, pcgen, pcgen.sourceforge.net) it's the Mhz. It runs much slower on my laptop. I might be a tad ram constrained (I have 512) But I don't think so.
ya, but they will jsut have an external jack, not like he's talking about (i've wanted the same thing. It would effectively make the head unit worthless without the ipod)
Does anyone else remember when slashdot used to be about nerds submitting articles that they had found on the web and thought were interesting? Now it seems there are a plethora of "self submitted" articles, and I think the quality has gone down. Take, for example, this one. It wasn't enough for someone else to say "hey, look, I found this article on pcmag.com showing off all this CES stuff." No, it had to be someone trying to drive up traffic to their site. Hell, even the username is a link to pcmag.
Or the one the other day about the color alterations on the mars photos. Now, I'm almost willing to forgive this one, since it is pretty interesting, but on the other hand, the guy could have gotten the answer to his dilemma just by going to NASA's site.
Remember when slashdot was about the wierd and wacky stuff on the internet? Like the lego porn page, or the telephone sex page (the one where telephones are having sex), the unix admin porn page, the site that you can telnet into and it does star wars (the movie) in ascii, and other things like this.
IIRC, from the pictures I saw, they are like 1/4 of the way around the planet from the beagle. Check the nasa mars site, they show the landing locations

check out space.sourceforge.net. Space.app is multiple desktops for the mac. been using it since like 10.1

the redhat 9 link is slightly wrong. look at the others for what the hostname should be

Is it still that way?

The guy may not have had the hardware, but I don't see it.
