The days of broadcast television are dying. Things like AppleTV & YouTube are going to kill it.
The same way internet radio and mp3 kills radio stations? Or wait, I still listen to convetional radio stations at work 5 days a week ~10 hours per day (including traffic and lunch). It's not that easy. Basic stuff like news, weather forecast and hot stuff just coming in just aren't covered on youtube. Youtube may kill "america's funniest home videos" or whatever that show is called. No loss.
Probably, but the shocks would still kill you, however, you can pickup a cheap black plastic bag at your local supermarket and pretend it's like the real thing. Warning though, do not try while driving. Better use your tinfoil hat.
I'm the OP, I'm not an opera fanboy, I just think this kind of features should be noticed, and noticed big, becauses it drives the industry in the right direction. I'm sorry for not specifying selectors. Kthx.
ye, switch(tm) and you may die, keep windows, and you'll live... at least for a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!
Yep, I'm just back from breakpoint in bingen (close to frankfurt) germany (swede myself) last easter.
There was one demo for atari vcs, two for zx spectrum, one for atari xl/xe, one for the msx, one for ti-83 but also newer consoles as nintendo ds, gameboy advance, xbox 360 and psp etc... And in amiga there were 8 demos and 8 intros (6 64kb and 2 4k limits) and in the c64 there were 6 demos... check them out at http://www.pouet.net/party.php?which=450&when=2007
But of course there are also pc competitions, and the one that stood out was debris
Demoparties are mainly a european happening, even tho there are visitors from all over the world. Especially to breakpoint and assembly.
The demoscene is a place for hobbyists that compete in different skills of using a computer, may it be coding, music, graphics or the combined (demo/wild etc). We do it all for the fun and the friendship. Please join us if it feels like your thing.
I agree about blender, but what if distros installed it by default as it so often does with the gimp for instance? I think could need a 3d modeler to play around with, and it's not very large when it comes to filesize anyway... dunno what their license agreements say tho.
If Windows sucks soooo much, how come more people are familiar with it than Mac OS X?
This is the same for linux and here it goes.
~1985 or so. My first contact with a pc, played some stupid game on it, it was a 8088 running what I believe was dos 1986->1990 mainly used amiga and atari systems and they were great, but then came the almighty pc 1990 learned programming basic on schools 8086/8088 and guess what, under dos 1991 around this time the computers at school changed to using 80386s, and guess what, dos. 1993 started electrical program school and we had 486 computers, and guess what, they were running.. dos and windows (3...) 1994-95 at the end of school we had some pentuim machines and running windows95 on a lot of them if I remember correctly and we learned a lot if microsoft apps, like word, excel and visual basic. I even got grades for it!
Guess what you used at home? dos and windows? You bet. And it was mainly because you didn't know better. I had an uncle running an mac of some kind with some wierd b/w display you wouldn't touch with a 5ft pole around 1990 or something. You had the atari, that was cooler.
The only reason I tried out linux about 5 years ago and still sticks to it is because I got fed up being a pirate and wanted to try doing stuff legally. Now I pay for every software I need to pay for but none of my bucks go to Bill that's for sure.
But this post wasn't about me. It's about choice. If you get surrounded by windows machines your whole life, no doubt you wanna run windows at home too 'cause you're familiar with it. I suppose this is why my mother wont let me install linux although all she does is surfing the web and downloading photographs.
School computer administrators, install some linux machines too which people can mess around with, for the simple reason of fun and education.

That birthday prank we gave John by burrying down that old skeleton from ebay (at least now I know what animal it is) in his garden has gone way to far...
I agree, and I don't plan on stopping using firefox for any near future. And I don't plan on removing it form my moms puter neither. Just because I don't download it so often doesn't mean I'm not using it.
As a sidenote, I think we should let firefox call home (as part of the update check) just to be able to keep a count on the number of firefox users to get an exact number... I'm not paranoid.
"we could save far more lives by spending this money on public health."
Yeah but walking around worrying about being stabbed for the rest of your life kinda sucks too, and would affect me far more psychology speaking, than dying in cancer 40 years from now.

if it was the other way around, world would end as we know it.

the only winning move is not to play. :-)
yeah, sorry about that, I tried some browsers here and failed miserably so I was under the impression that it was the first. still good news!
Hello there coward anonymous, OP here. Which other browser do you know to support CSS selectors fully? Exactly.

It looks very windy, I think they will push the deadline... at least they should.

I find your lack of faith disturbing
Take a look into quantum computing.

There are three type of lies. Lies, damn lies and statistics. Mark Twain.
Please remind me again how this man is so dangerous to society he must be locked up in jail.
And house arrest sounds like a smart option to you?
Jail sentances are not only to keep away people from the rest of us, it's about punishment too.

Dude, I have the modpoints and this could be modded insightful, but that would just be plain sad!
Being modded "insightful" in such a topic as public peeing can't be good for your karma...
The bums still pee in the public parking elevators. That's about as high tech as it gets here for public peeing.
And it too goes up and down!
I'm working on it! (but got stuck on slashdot for some reason)
