Or if they stuck (on windows) to the guidelines, and updated the application keeping the same application GUID so you don't end up with Control Panel listing Firefox 1.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 at the same time. That's not exactly difficult.
You think porn is "real"? You really want to see cramps? wet patches? accidental pulling of hair? farting noises coming from parts of a female anatomy you never ever expected them to come for? Not to mention the "Not tonight dear, headache" shock.
Good god man you left out the most obvious thing, porn. Porn drove ecommerce into the mainstream, streaming media, the lust for more bandwidth at home, why on earth don't you see it coming (no pun intended) here??
if you're wondering if your day-to-day existence is interesting enough to make into a reality TVshow
That hasn't stopped pod casting has it?
All of these personal communication technologies, from email, through web sites, the evolution into blogs, podcasting and now this are full of crap. Really. After all, how many web sites of the ones you've surfed have you found interesting enough to check on a regular basis? 10%? And how many of those were personal sites?
Most of the net content is ego based, not quality based, and unless someone is prepared to put quality content on there it will remain as marginalised as the current ego trip hyped as pod casting.
Running a combination of dnsBLs, Spam Assassin and blocking known keywords that seem to leak through I do actually read the spams that make it, if only to work out how they got around the filters and into my junk mail folder (funny, they never seem to make it into my inbox). This morning I actually got spam for papal funeral gubbins delivered. Time to update the keywords again.
Ah but The Master stole his regenerations from other time lords. In episode 2 we're informed that something happened to all the other timelords and The Doctor is the last one left.
The only reason Microsoft doesn't support CSS properly is that they don't OWN it
So why are they supporting HTML? Or previous CSS versions? It's a rendering spec, it's interoperability effects are minimal when compared to XHTML, or SOAP
But the spammer doesn't care. They don't check if you're using nofollow, they just vandalise your comments and run. Thinking nofollow will stop this type of spam is akin to thinking spam assassin or dnsBLs stop spammers. It hasn't, it just means the crud doesn't end up in your inbox.
I've ended up having a little database which holds both referral spammers and comment spammer URLs, so anyone who either tries to send an http request with a site listed as the HTTP referrer or post a comment with those sites in gets redirected to a permission denied page.
But I could do that because I'm vain enough to roll my own code (and embarassing it is too). Most bloggers will have to wait for their blog software authors to add something like that and then for their hosts to update.
Now what we really need is something akin to the SURBL where blog spam and referral spam urls end up, then plugins for every major blog engine out there to use it.
WinFS is not just some sort of search. They already have that with MSN Search.
WinFS an API to store objects at a file system level, indexing and streaming potential to file-based data. WinFS data can be structured with an XML schema to explain meaning and purpose. Data can also be semi-structured or unstructured. You can extend the FS with your own properties. WinFS come with a set of services such as synchronization, notification, a unified store and a common security model. Data, and files can have types, properties, fields, relationships, even constraints.
You're no longer using files, you're using full blown objects.
Really, so Tiger is a OO file system, where you can create shared objects such as an address book, which every application can access through a common file system API?
But surely the library is a wrapper. You're not calling Win32 directly, but through the framework shim. You can implement the namespaces on more than one platform, mono is proof of that.
Actually in the UK now they have wireless machines into which you slot your card, the chip in the card authorises itself and the machine, then you type in a pin after confirming the amount.

The Department of Homeland Security today announced new software to enable citizens to protect their personal data. The software, provided by a committe member's company, will enable personal information security by centralised all your information, including browsing habits, emails, credit card numbers, documents, spreadsheets and those jpgs of your ex you keep meaning to put on flashyourrack in one central location.
The software will also protect you from those mean advertisers who advertise things you shouldn't see like cheap generic drugs, stores other than Walmart and communist computer operating systems by replacing those ads with good old american advertising, including links to your local church Landover Baptist.
Installation of this protection software will become mandatory under the new CAN-PRIVACY act introduced by big business^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hyour benevolant rulers.
Of course, another option would be to have a "TNG: Children"... Sort of like how they had a Scooby Doo series, based on child-versions of the original Scooby Doo characters
So what you're saying is you have a fetish about Wil Wheaton in diapers?
I like it as a plot device. Think about it, religion has proofed to be the best way to keep people in line through the years, by either weilding the carrot of heaven or the big stick of hell.
Now why should that be any different for robots? Who is to say that the humanoid versions we see are at the top of the cyclon heirarcy? If they're not, how exactly do you keep them in line, whilst allowing some illusion of free will?
(Cue cut scene to Boomer shouting "I do believe in silicon heaven! I do!" whilst Starbuck eats a curry. Oh, wrong show).

heh.
That will only work if you're young, female, blonde and nude. And you know what will happen as you age and put on weight.

No it can't; not unless the codec comes with a DirectShow filter. Apple (and Real) do not do this, in order to keep eyeballs in their clients.

It may not be GPL licensed, but they will be offering a free ("beer") version.

Oh sorry you said Air Force Space Command?
Why? The network has no way of knowing how many people have watched them via a rip, and thus can't sell space and make money on that basis.
he had no noble intensions in mind what so ever
Whereas if he'd managed to use the intrustion to delete every single custom ringtone off every connected mobile he would have been sainted. :)
So what you're saying is you have a fetish about Wil Wheaton in diapers?
"Fire the JMS ego ray ensign, they should cancel each other out"
"A hot space babe has just appeared, the ratings levels are going up rapidly, most logical captain"
Whoever does it around 50% of the fans are going to complain.
I do believe Doctor Who has the longest run of any TV sci-fi show. Or don't British shows count?
Now why should that be any different for robots? Who is to say that the humanoid versions we see are at the top of the cyclon heirarcy? If they're not, how exactly do you keep them in line, whilst allowing some illusion of free will?
