I remember just having to buy a "book" for a class. This book was just the professor's notes and slides bound together. I never took a note in that class, and skipped several because I knew what I was going to miss.
A coworker is currently taking a math class. Anything drawn on the board is sent in an email to them immediately after class for no fee. He doesn't take notes either.
While this trend frees you from fantically scribbling, making mistakes, etc., it has its negatives too. Actually writing notes has been proven to help remember information better than just reading the same information. Personally, my attention drifted away from the course material more when I did not have to take notes.
Not playing games is the reason. You're only using applications and most applications will be speedy with a 3.4 GHz machine. The applications that take 45 minutes+ could be speeded up, but will you notice it if you are not at the computer while it is processing?
I'm a PC gamer in need of an upgrade. I'm seriously considering going back to consoles since online gaming with them has really taken off. In that case, I probably would not upgrade my computer anytime soon.
Actually, people are concerned anytime a new strain or species (whether natural or GM) is introduced to the local ecosystem. Sometimes there's no major effects. Sometimes, it turns into an invasive species.

Microsoft lawyer says you're breaking the DMCA and this is how we're going to handle it 1. A small team of software developers will sit down with you and write some rehab software for the XBox 360. 2. Microsoft will donate the software and equivalent number of 360's to hospitals and clinics. 3. We have a big press conference and you tell how Microsoft is helping stroke victims.

Most people would find such an interface difficult to use... particularly in countries where people read from left to right.
A left-sided scrollbar would require you to constantly drag the mouse back over the top of your working area, despite the fact the cursor is more likely to remain present on the right side of the screen when not being actively used for editing. This is also why you often see tool palettes placed on the left side of a working area, since you are likely going to be very near whatever in your work area required a tool change.
A similarly confusing configuration would be to have your application menus appear at the bottom of the screen and scrolling upward to select the option you need.
My mouse cursor stays wherever I left it for most programs and is separate from the typing cursor. Menus are often at the top or left. Again, I move the mouse across the screen to reach these if I'm using the mouse cursor to move the scrollbar on the right. (Gotta love scroll wheels) KDE and Windows (default settings) have their main menu appear at the bottom and you scroll upwards to choose. I've actually found moving the taskbar,etc. to the top of the screen beneficial. This is not due to the menu being confusing rather it reduces mouse movement.
I can see NIC cost + premium, but that's a little too much premium even if it's not snake oil. Get the price down towards $100 and I can see a lot more people buying it.
Public Records are public and more and more becoming available on the internet for free. I'm not talking about sites that you pay for them to get the info. I'm talking about circuit court government sites like http://wcca.wicourts.gov/index.xsl With a last name and a first initial, I can look for DUI's, speeding tickets, divorces, filing of wills and anything else that would end up in court.
I used to make full backups of my home computer, but decided they were useless for me. I prefer clean installs with the newest versions of programs that I actually still use. I backup important files as a simple data folder burn. I make copies of media files when I have enough for a full data disc. Generally, 2-4 copies of any data that I want to keep.
How many copies of static data do you really need? I can't see making weekly backups of music or video every week or every month.
Oh crap, developers cancelling games! Sure, it's going to happen to any new system. The EA comment is a little more worrying since a lot of "non-gamers" buy consoles for sports games.
Overall, I'm not so interested in whether the PS3 fails or not. I'm interested in how PS3 sales affect Blu-Ray. $1000 Blu-Ray players, $600 PS3, increased home saturation of Blu-Ray. What's going to happen? It seems like the players will have to drop 60% in price in 6 months.
Our data center in Wisconsin does not have heaters at all. Computers are the only source of heat. Generally, we're run A/C most of the time. The big negative is if they wanted to sell the building for office space, they can't due to no heating system.
While it was funny, Excel does make me want to gouge my eyes out. It tries to be smart at the wrong times. When I try to do simplistic things that a basic spreadsheet program can do, Excel will do extra things that I don't want it to do. When I try to something that a smart program could interpret, it acts like a basic spreadsheet.

A New Kind of OS
·
· Score: 1
After stopping for a break, your OS pops up with a small alert box asking you
No! No, it wouldn't. OS's should stay out of my way and remain invisible. I own a computer to run programs, not an OS. OS's should run programs and let programs use hardware other than that it should hide in a corner cowering until I need it again.
Vat grown meat was first because a "no" would mean a "no" for all three questions. I put vat grown human meat second because I think that a lot of people separate in their heads, meat from the animal. When eating a steak, they don't think about the cow that it came from. Your own meat came last because of the personal connection that might be harder for some people to overcome.
As for health standards, I think the meat would be grown from a small sample that had been analyzed, but I understand the concern.
Grimm Shado with his two wands, Hurt and Burn. I mean two wands, that's just awesome, and his cyber-enhanced triple wand claws. What? That's not their character. Man, this game is going to suck.
I was actually having that discussion a couple of weeks ago. The main questions that were asked: 1. Would you eat vat grown meat? 2. Would you eat vat grown human meat? 3. Would you eat your body's meat grown in a vat?
To secure your house or office you shouldn't look at anything less than a Mortis or a deadlock, and you should have at least two on each entry point. Windows should lock from the inside, again with deadlocks.
Windows locking from the inside. FROM THE INSIDE, you don't say. Deadbolts won't stop the window from getting broken. A thief would use duct tape on it if being quiet was required. Break a window or a large glass patio door and you're in. The two deadbolts won't stop someone from leaving by the door. Deadbolts without thumb turns on the inside work against you in case of a fire. I guess you could use one with and one without.
There used to be several companies like X Drive that did free online storage. The major problem for me was uptime. You couldn't rely on the data being available at anytime. I actually did lose all uploaded data one time. As far as Microsoft and Google mail are concerned, I've had fewer downtimes with Google than Microsoft for the same period of time. I would think that uptime shouldn't be a major problem, but use for warez could really affect this. As far as always carrying data with you, there's problems with that too. Out of sync data, lost or damaged drive, left it at home, etc.
Both options are good ideas and have their own pros and cons.

I was in a giving mood so I clicked. I saw no ads and IE 6.0.2900.2180 said errors on the page. I've got work to do otherwise I'd investigate further.

This gets to me for some reason.
That really should be IS.
This is one of the better descriptions I've read.
I still use punch cards everyday at work. Of course, it's to scribble notes on. We've got boxes of these things lying around.

Simple. Monitor your own resource usage and figure out what YOU require. Everyone has different hardware, programs, and habits.
While it was funny, Excel does make me want to gouge my eyes out. It tries to be smart at the wrong times. When I try to do simplistic things that a basic spreadsheet program can do, Excel will do extra things that I don't want it to do. When I try to something that a smart program could interpret, it acts like a basic spreadsheet.
No! No, it wouldn't. OS's should stay out of my way and remain invisible. I own a computer to run programs, not an OS. OS's should run programs and let programs use hardware other than that it should hide in a corner cowering until I need it again.
so it is competing with Excel then.
