Except for some stupid reason Open Office decided to copy MS Office on the one thing that should have been fixed years ago. Only allowing columns to IV and rows to 65536. Seriously at my job I have to create two seperate files if I need more columns than that, export them as text and then combine them into one file.. Pain in the ass, why Open Office couldn't see the need to support more columns and rows, I'd really like to know.
If the wikipedia article is right, that the clockwork was produced in 87BCE then the clockwork was actually Roman, as the whole of modern and ancient Greece was under Roman control at that time. Also, it's not a computer, it's a damn clockwork.
Or you could choose NOT to be a tree hugging hippy and buy real grass and waste all our precious water. That would be my choice, and by the looks of his "estate" it would be his choice as well. However, he lives in Boulder, so he may be a hippy after all.
Since this is still not a publicly released Operating System available to buy, I'm not all that surprised they're taking care of this sort of thing now. There's no reason for them to care about the old versions of the Operating System if it is not available to the general public. Once the Operating System is actually available to buy this sort of thing will stop, but they want their developers to be using the most recent version available to give them the newest target. I don't really see a problem with this.
I'm afraid I have to echo the sentiment here. I don't care if the cover was designed to come off, the problem is it FELL off no human interaction required. They had to repair tiles on the tail from where the bit of plastic hit the shuttle. If I were an astronaut, that wouldn't exactly inspire confidence in me. Christ, who puts these things together, the guy down the street with the beat up pinto? It's time to retire the shuttle and just pay the russians to launch us until there is a suitable replacement. Remember people, the simpler the design the fewer points of failure there are. Seems like if Burt Rutan can get it right NASA should be able to too.
nevermind I'm a moron my apartments you'll notice the cemetery to your right and the highschool to your left and the pool where I'll be swimming all day tomorrow.
Yes, it does actually, it's probably the best CG render I've seen but you can still tell it's a render instead of a photo. Why? The eyebrows and eyelashes are too blurry, you can't make out individual hairs easily. Second, the out of focus blur is too perfect, especially around his face.
That's kind of offensive to me. In VERY rural areas I'm talking less than 4,000 people your comment holds some weight. However, anyting larger and you're just talking out your ass, yes wal-mart has horrifying commercials. They don't really understand the concept of "hip." But those of us who work at wal-mart aren't entirely stupid. During the tech bubble deflation we had electrical engineers from HP working our electronics department and still have a lot of very knowledgable people. However, the store in your area may be different, but here in FC, CO we're fairly good. And I've been a big NetFlix supporter since 1999 but thanks.
Especially considering Wal-Mart doesn't sell most of the DVD's that Netflix rents. This could pose a serious problem for the big W. As someone who works at a Wal-Mart I can attest to the problems they're having with the website and stores not carrying the same thing. This will only exacerbate the problem.
me thinks a lot of their problems are due to other hardware and illconcieved game code. I know for the longest time until it was patched far cry would lock up after 2 hours of playing and it wasn't the video cards fault
Actually Prey has been around longer than DNF, in fact Prey was originally designed to be the Quake killer, as in Quake 1. Then shortly thereafter it fell off the face of the earth with the last screenshot some sort of blocky waterfall with a teradactyl like creature in it.
And this proves it, eventually Ubuntu and Debian will be so seperate that very few of the Ubuntu packages will work with Debian, similar to Suse and Red Hat RPMs.. Debian is dying and nobody cares because they haven't released anything since I last used it 4 years ago.
As others have already pointed out, there's plenty of evidence that the 3 webpublishers knew well in advance the information they were given by their sources was protected under an NDA. That's not what I'm going to talk about, or freedom of the press. I'm all for it, my wife is a newspaper reporter for chrissakes. No I'm going to talk about the concept of trade secrets and how it applies to our capitalist economy.
Trade secrets are inventions,(new products) and revisions to existing products, if there are more things that might fall under the definition, they don't really matter in this case so don't flame me for omitting a few. If a company invents something(ipod) or revises a currently shipping company product(new g5 powerbook, new powermacs, etc) they are allowed to issue NDAs to their employees to keep their traps shut about them with good reason. If company x finds out about the new products before Apple in this case is ready to release it, and company x copies product and releases at the same time before patents have been issued, then Apple is screwed and loses revenue because of it.
As you may or may not know, under capitalism companies generally invent and innovate new products so that they themselves can gain the revenue from their research. With no trade secrets or NDAs there is no longer an incentive to do research as a company and capitalism fails.
With that out of the way, the judge was right to back Apple, if he hadn't many other companies would be severely put in a pickle fiscally by employees leaking detailed specs to other companies. Our economy would be in shambles, and you would all be out of jobs. Granted there is a bit of a slippery slope implied there but thats the fundamental logic behind the case.
The fact that people are upset about Apple getting a big boost in this stage of the case is absolutely astonishing to me. Freedom woohoo and all but there are limits to every freedom, press, speech, right to arms, every single one of them. The websites in question and the sources should be punished, for different reasons, the sources for breech of contract and the websites for publishing information they knew to be acquired in an illegal manner.
Which is exactly why linux will never be on equal footing with linux as a gaming platform. Why spend millions developing drivers for linux when every good game on linux is on windows too? The only way Linux could get an exclusive is if some closed source person came along and made a good linux game. It's possible, SDL and OpenGL give linux a mostly even footing as far as api's go. Why not? Then you'd either have to set up a Steam-like distribution method or buy shelf space. Steam at this juncture makes a lot more sense, it's cheaper.:)

I don't know, you should ask IBM the same thing. Deathstar?

And you are 1 out of how many PSP owners who actually bought one of their overpriced movies for it?

100 million frozen twinkies? This is slashdot after all.
You must not be real in to games period if you think Civ is an RTS.. Last time I checked, say, yesterday it was a Turn Based Strategy.

Thank you very much, now I can get rid of Nero Image Drive.
actually new Infinitis have lane departure warnings.. They go off if your turn signal isn't on when you go from lane to lane.

I did this.. I wish there was a way to tell where you are on the map to link it.. that would be awesome
sorry wrong post.. that one has its own problems though. the depth of field is very not right around his face too perfectly blurred.
except for the trees and shadows.. yeah it's good, the trees look too blurry around the leaves and the shadows the leaves aren't blurry enough

I've used the Catalyst drivers with every new version since christ.. 03 and not had a single BSOD. More than likely it's the Hyperion drivers
