I have a friend who's an SCS grad student that works on ESM. He uses a Linux workstation, as do many people in the department. ESM can deliver many kinds of video. Some of them play with mplayer.
I don't know who made the decision to use Quicktime, but it's possible to play Quicktime on LiINSERT REPETITIVE DRIVEL ABOUT WHY SORENSON AND NOT APPLE IS TO BLAME so ESM is useful to some people, at least.
ESM (End System Multicast) is a peer-to-peer system to deliver video of any kind (such as QuickTime) to lots of clients. The idea is to allow people to watch video while acting as both client and server, thus reducing the originator's bandwidth needs.
A friend of mine works on ESM. It was developed at CMU and has been used for many recent lectures on campus.
I'm a registered user of Opera 7.23, and I've seen this browser crash more than anything except Konqueror. It got to the point where I had to disable Java to get performance up to a bearable level.
Now don't get me wrong -- Opera is a great browser in terms of rendering and power-user features, but I have managed to crash it simply by going back and forward several times in quick succession. It also leaks memory: my memory cache is 4 MB, but I've seen the browser occupy at least 50 MB on several occasions (usually right before it crashes).
Windows has had a centralized Address Book since Windows 95. Microsoft Outlook can read from this address book, but what's the point any more? Everyone abandoned it.
Start > Run > wab still runs it in Windows XP Pro. It has aged poorly.
The drum game played in "Lost in Translation" is, in fact, Taiko no Tatsujin. The guitar game is Guitar Freaks, and the "rhythm style scrolling shooter" is Pop'n Music.
Now, if they are trying to pronounce the English word "Mozilla" [as "mozirra"], then the poster is correct.
Not true. There's no L sound in Japanese, so that's replaced with R. There's also no "zi" sound; that's pronounced as "ji" even though it is occasionally written "zi."
I can't count the number of times I've had to explain to people why they really don't want to pay $100 for 128Mb of MP3 player.
If you buy an MP3 player that costs less than $250, you'll "put it in a drawer and never use it" because it holds fewer than 1,000 songs. Steve Jobs said it, so it must be true.
Do you keep your IM client on while you play SWG or DAOC? Most people I know set themselves to "away" while they play a full-screen game, so that an incoming message won't shift the focus away from the game.
The way around this, of course, is to get accounts for everyone else in your home.:)
DSL and cable modems are not anywhere near as reliable as regular telephone lines. Unless you're talking to someone in a remote country or on a poor-quality mobile phone, it's rare to have a telephone call drop out or lag. For people that regularly spend less than $30 per month on a phone bill, VoIP presents no savings.
Used CDs are usually cheaper than $10. I've bought a bunch of them for $6 or $7. If you can find a good used CD store near you, then get over there and stock up.
Only one version of OS/2 was officially released for the PPC, but it lacked networking support and was quickly withdrawn after IBM stopped making PowerPC ThinkPads. When I used OS/2 for x86, there were rumors about the PPC version swirling about. The OS2PPC project was officially put on hold in 1997, and was never revived.
There was a brief time when they were Forum 3000, but the domain has fallen into the hands of domain squatters.
Forum 2000 and 3000 died mainly because the people who ran them got bored and/or wanted to work on their graduate theses. It sure was fun to play with the Zephyr interface while it lasted, though.:)
I wonder whether Forum 2010 is run by the same folks. I doubt it since Forum 2000 and 3000 were both Carnegie Mellon projects, and forum2010.org is registered to someone in St. Louis.
I have two IMAP servers: one for personal mail, and one for work mail. When I set these up in Mail.app, the program simply lumped together personal.INBOX and work.INBOX into the "In" folder. Will Mail.app 2 be able to separate these servers like every other e-mail program does?
Let me be a "usenet troll" and address your post point-by-point.
Okay.
An you didn't get modded +5 insightful?!!!
"And" is the appropriate word here. Your excessive use of punctuation is not welcome.
It slander if its its untrue. But I just cited several examples to prove, that didn't I? Where's the slander?
As a lawyer, I must remind you that you are under oath.
Learn to read my posting before criticising it. I said that Fortune and Forbes always speak condescendingly about engineers. To make that point I cited several examples. However, since you were so awed by this article, you obviously don't believe that an article needs to back up its assertions with facts, so that point may have escaped you.
I disagree. I have been reading Fortune for over 20 years, and in that time there have been many articles that praise the work of engineers at companies including Google. These articles may be purchased at a cost of $2.49 each in the archive.
Let me respond anyway. The one good point I think the article blah blah blah they're there.
Good point.
Other than that everything they point to is not blah blah blah to understand a different corporate culture... blah blah from "unnamed CEOs"... we aren't blah blah harassed by coworkers. If you won't let blah blah them.
Forbes is not the same magazine as Fortune. Please don't use Forbes's name to slander Fortune.
Learn to take criticism. Fortune printed a contrarian view to Google's next-big-thing hype. Rather than trying to rebut the article line by line with snappy comebacks like a Usenet troll, perhaps you should examine your conceptions of Google. Personally, I agree with the article: Google is the most overhyped company since Netscape, and its IPO will rise and fall with similar magnitude.

The Allied Military Currency notes used in Japan after WWII ranged from 10 sen (100 sen = 1 yen) up to 100 yen.
:)
Now I'd like to see you pay for something with 10-sen notes; you'd need about a thousand of them to buy a soda.

Imagine Sim City 5, starring Rudolph Giuliani!
Why not? Former NYC mayor Ed Koch helped promote Sim City 3000 five and a half years ago.

Orkut is actually just a scam designed to fleece unsuspecting Internet users out of money. The record so far is $11.00.
It still sounds terrible when read by a text-to-speech converter.

So, "mojira" is really the closest you can get.

They switched to 1045 hours for 45 days, which is less than unlimited.
Lately, I've seen discs offering "Unlimited hours" for a trial period. Maybe AOL finally gave up.

Nintendo is not selling this outside China. The only way to obtain this outside China is to order it from an import shop like Lik-Sang.
