This reminds me of when I took a unix course in college. The teacher put all the course materials in openoffice format, which was great.. except anyone wanting to read them had to download an 80meg file installer first. If you're on dialup at home well.. you're screwed. Eventually she had to change them to msword format.
or rather I think people are looking for the beef. There seems to be a lot of hype around google but not much if you take a closer look at it. This raises all the anti-google articles you're seening now.
GMail - a spin on your typical webmail but hasn't done anything since Googletalk - if microsoft released this app they would have been shredded to pieces Google's stock - I'm one of those people who think it is grossly overvalued
Also consider their recent battles with microsoft over that exec, shunning cnet and their recent adwords cash grab.
Not ITT Tech, employers. Have you looked at any job postings lately? They all ask for specific skills, I've known people who have gone to interviews and did well up until the point where they were told the stuff they might do was not on their resume.
I use apps because they are good, not because the man told me to. I'll buy a commercial app if it does what I want and I'll use an opensource one if it's better and free. Choice is good
it failed because the majority wanted to fly cheaper not faster. faster is nice but not when it costs a significant portion of your income. I would never buy a videocard that costs 700$ even if it was 10times faster than an affordable one
if you're referring to the crash in france, it was on take off and not at supersonic speeds. If anything punctured the fueltanks for any plane that was taking off it probably would end up in a million pieces over land anyways
Before I read it I thought it was phsyical blindness, but all the article is describing is situational awareness or merely distractions. It's like saying talking on a cell while driving a car can cause blindness.
I find it's the best way to keep the computer quiet (but then the AC becomes the nosiest thing there:)). With an AC you won't need all the case fans, you can run your cpu fan at a lower speed and your powersupply fan (if it's intelligent can also run low speed)
the longest reasonable vga cable probably wouldn't even make it up the basement stairs. You're better off using remote desktop from a laptop or quieter pc
acer does not sell every model everywhere. There are a lot of laptops that aren't sold in north american and vice versa. I had no problem getting an acer in canada, but some other laptops I wanted were only available in the EU. Maybe nobody sells amds in australia beacuse there isn't much demand for it or it's too expensive to build and send there
Funny, this statement seems to apply to most of the comments here. As far as software innovation goes it seems to be everyones definition of what they love the most. Lets take tabbed browsing for example. Tabs have been around longer than before browsers were born yet many people who love it will say it was innovative. The ipod was not the first portal music player, nor was it the first portable mp3 player yet it was the first that people liked so it is branded as innovative. Arguing about software innovation is pointless.
If you want to see true innovation, argue about hardware.
Imagine lord of the rings just before the final battle with the elephants and they switch to 40mins of frodo talking about himself. This is what happened in NGE.
Death and Rebirth: Fans got upset and finally the producers decided to end it properly but they went overbudget and released what turned out to be a summary of the series.
End of Evangelion:Then they released 2 final episodes which picked up from 24 and ended the show properly (it was good too)
so if you're new to it, just watch to episode 24, then watch end of evangelion, you can watch 25&26&death and rebirth later.
The #1 reason the private sector isn't picking is up is the vast majority of the big isps don't offer it, as long as they remain on ipv4, ipv6 isn't going anywhere fast.
Nobody likes a grammar nazi because half of the time, the person who made the mistake realized it after it was typed and in walks captain obvious trying show how smart he is. just my 2c

don't you know anything? Adding google to anything makes it better!
playstation portable, headphones, pain killers and a jacket. I probably fit the stalker profile right about now

I already read it like tarzan saying he's gay; "I ANAL"

videogame roots belong in a musuem

why a company like CNN and ABC with billions of dollars in revenue is still running unpatched windows 2000 computers.
It takes a big man to admit daylight savings time is idiotic but I am not a big man.
Does canada have to go along with this Daylight stupidity? The current one seems just fine to me.
so how is that costing us 10billion a year? please explain.
