To take a truck of fuel to some remotes places in Brazil, you have to spend two trucks of fuel. I'd like to know how much you'd need to bring it to Antartica.
You work when you want, can do it naked, take a nap anytime. But also somebody will call you late at night when you are with your girlfriend, or call you sunday morning (just after you spent the night with her).
Conclusion: working in your own home is great. Terrible is to live in your workplace.
It will be a great usability advance for non-ASCII languages. A big problem in portuguese domains is when you have an accented word in a domain name. A lot of people try to visit the accented address and get a "domain not found" error. Now everyone can register the accented and the unaccented version and have their due number of visitors. We will have a lot more of good domains to choose.
If you have a domain name like www.samba-choro.com.br here in Brazil, the registar won't let any one but you to register www.sambachoro.com.br (without the hifen). Hope they are smart enough not to let anyone register the accented version too.
For the average person that needs to be able to plug in their digital camera without going into the terminal window, we think that the user's experience with any brand of Linux will be sub-par.
I have a "camera:/" as personal toolbar bookmark in Konqueror. To download my digital camera images I have to:
1-select bookmark
2-select subfolder with images
3-select images and drag'n drop them to the desired location
No terminal involved.
Red Hat linux comes with a simple set of tools: docbook2pdf, docbook2html, docbook2rtf to help converting from docbook to other formats. It's a lot easier than directly using jade et al.
Linux CLI interfaces evolved within a natural selection framework from an ancient interface to the modern ones. In this process, all kinds of idiosyncrasy survived that aren't needed anymore, but you have fabulous CLI interfaces like IPython where you can easily transform and query a bunch of data and throw it away. Now they will develop a CLI interface testing it with developers. Soon opensource will have to catch windows.
Persuasive Computing is the title of a cool book of Stanford researcher B. J. Frogg, that discusses how computers can be used to change people behaviours. One of the examples are about using virtual reality to threat fobias.
He wasn't lying, but talking about the time between the moment he yell that has found a bug in his windows desktop, and the fix arrives from a Microsoft engineer. It's not about average users.
Their choice really is: an standard compatible website with leaner pages and more mantainable since all presentation info is in a single css file, or a complete mess IE compatible with special css clauses just for IE and presentation mixed with markup.
This thread is long, probably nobody will read this any more, but let's try:
What are the best linux applications to compress speechs without modifying the pitch? It'd be good to remove empty spaces and speed the voice correcting the pitch? Is there any option for this, instead of just accelerating the speed of your favorite video/audio player?
I really like Microsoft Internet explorer and MSM feature of recommending similar domains. It helps users of the web browser and doesn't mess with other internet protocols.
Verisign is messing with everybody that checks for domains and is stealing my trafic, since they just recommends domains of Verisign. If you search for my domain without the brazil suffix.br, MSNs recomends my brazilian site. Verisign just steals it.
It looks like this Treo solved the greatest problem with pda/cellphones combos: the battery lifetime. Any portable device that you have to charge twice a day is unusable. Does anybody know the battery technology that is behind this new Treo?
Hate to praise M$, but this is really a helpful feature in IE! I got a lot of hits from MSM due to mistyped domains. My site domain is www.samba-choro.com.br . Looking in the referer log of my web server, I see people coming from MSN that misspelled the URL with queries like: www.sambachoro.com.br www.samba&choro.com. br www.sambaechoro.com.br
It used to be even more impressive, with an "semantic" association. The site is about two traditional styles of brazilian music, samba and choro. If someone typed www.cartola.com.br (an important samba musician) www.pagode.com.br (another name of samba) they'd see a page with references to my site. Unfornately they removed this semantic feature some time ago.
It is a feature that helps users find what they want. An important usability improvement that Mozilla and Konqueror should also implement.
Here is a good article from interaction architect Bruce Tognazzini that discuss the compromisse about security and usability. If you forget the human factor side, you don't have good security.
Since I believe in Ousterhout's dichotomy, my favorite code generator is SWIG. It automatically create bindings for calling C and C++ libraries from scripting languages like Python, Lua, Perl, Ruby, PHP, and Tcl.
Better yet: how do you mantain this well organized data in your palmtop, desktop email addressbook, PIM applications, and mobile phone syncronized? Sure, you can query it with your LDAP aware email client and access in a reserved web page when you forgot your mobile devices.

Don't forget to use accented letters. At least american hackers won't be able to guess your passwords:-)
Even if you are right, it'll be cheaper to pay the license instead of litigating with a company that has billions in the bank.

Fortunatelly SpamAssassin is now filtering my email, what give me time to read Slashdot, instead of spending all day deleting junk messages.

I support the right of everybody to listen shit. But I also want the right to listen the music I like in the radio, instead of just the payolaed one.

I forgot to say: it generates a PDF file with the desired labels.

- PDF417 barcode
- GNU Barcode
Maybe you want to use the barcode engines directly.
