As a long time trackpad user, you'd have to squeeze my testicles in a vise to get me to use a laptop with the orange knob right in the middle of the keyboard. I've tried it, repeatedly, and it sucks. It's an infuriatingly useless device.
mccalli: Whereas I hate trackpads and never use the damned things if possible.
I like Dell's approach on the Inspiron I have - put both on the machine, let the user decide.
There's a degree of nature in it, but violence has a lot of cultural.
Compare the Japanese before and after Second World War. Same about the Jews. There is a sharp difference in acceptance of violence, and it's not caused by a change in their brains or DNA.
You seem to be oriented to electric devices. If power supply is required, think about making it reliable. Murphy says it will ran out or blackout in the worst moment.
Oh! I receive a small quantity of spam. (Alas it's on my main acount which has a daily quota on number of messages).
I learnt that it was related to Ralsky's business. Recently I researched where the website of recent spam was and I found things like www*.fastwebsnet.com which is registered in China. I suspect now why.
On the other hand, I complained to Hotmail because some of the messages used Hotmail From: addresses and they replied with something that seemed a not fully automated answer. In one case they told they deleted the spammer address (a very small victory, but good on Hotmail's part) and in the other the address was fake.
Surprising from a Microsoft company. (Hey, I sound like astroturf. Have you seen my mobile phone with camera?)
They even sent messages to evaluate their quality of response. I left when the form asked for a mail address. They are evaluating a unique interaction prompted by my sending email to abuse at hotmail.com and they need that _I_ type my address!?
And as more and more Chinese domains are blocked at the border
Funny, the barbarians censor Chinese sites and China censor barbarian sites. The Wall works both ways.
I understand that the reason of the icompatibility between GPL and BSD with ad clause code is because (old) BSD forces you to mark the copyright of Berkeley regents. I understand that GPL doesn't involve copyright strings. The reason is that if you take small pieces of code from 100 GPL projects, it's uncomfortable to include 100 notices of copyright.
Am I wrong? Must (legally) the author that copies bits of GPL code include the copyright of the previous authors?
I thought it was just a thing of manners and reputation, not legal duty.
Another sort of ad that I've just started seeing proliferate are the ones that pop up in their own window that doesn't seem to be a browser window, no status bar, no scroll bar, no file/edit/etc, no max/min/close
Privoxy (formerly Internet Junkbuster Proxy Stefan-Waldherr-style) has options to block popup windows or windows without features, as well. It's multiplatform but the Win32 version has even a GUI.
The Spanish Correos y Telégrafos has a partnership with Yahoo. You could get a Yahoo Mail address through the Correos website. I don't know what Correos got out from the deal.
How can the companies evaluate that the promotion is not too blatant and not to ineffective? Do they run surveys asking "Did you know out product from a guy in an Internet forum named "Jack3"?
So essentially he was hired to be a professional liar and shill for the company? Brilliant. How does he sleep at night knowing he was paid to be a professional liar? People looking to get actual real-world advice about a product before they spend their hard earned money are being lied to by a PR guy in disguise... that just reaks of immorality.
Actually his spiritual director encouraged him. Since the shill was previously a lawyer, Father O'Connor thought that this job was not so sinful.
So if, as many say here, people who trade MP3s are more likely to buy CDs, and CDs are produced by evil corporations, doesn't it follow that to hurt evil corporations you should boycott MP3-like things?

How is the future looking now that the EULA in Windows XP disallows remote administration tools other than Microsoft's, if I get it right.
Isn't the main purpose of VNC to control Windows machines? (You have other alternatives for other platforms).

You are not meaning the testicles, are you?
People ARE violent
There's a degree of nature in it, but violence has a lot of cultural.

I'm interested in a graphical browser
Such as Links 2.0?

If something like the "Andromeda Strain" did occur, how would we combat it?
Drinking and crying is what worked in the film. (Don't know about the book). It seems easy, as well.
They are the ones with enormous thighs.
If they want droids unobtrusive, just play some Jedi mind tricks.
Sun One + Java gives us JavaOne
JavaOne gives us JavaOne.
This wouldn't be allowed in Australia. No Jedi stuff there.
Nothing in particular. I put it somewhen after Sep 11. It seemed to match the spirit of the times. Predicting doomsday makes me look insightful.
And I'll always find a situation where I can say "I told you".
Besides, I like the picture by Rubens.
That would make that America would comply with the Kyoto treaty.
It is consistent. If an Internet for Europeans is made, The Register for Americans is created.

So if the robot finds an Al-Qaeda member, does it say "These are not the droids you are looking for"?

I treat my doctor, my mechanic, my priest and my boss the same way
Maybe, but remember who can kill you and destroy every evidence.
The 1930s science-fiction silent German film "Metropolis" shows a 10-"hours", 50-"minutes" clock.
