Does anyone else remember the movie that had magnetic bubbles, it think it was called 'The Explorers' and was about a bunch of kids that dream of how to do it and it turns out that it was some alien kids sending them messages while they slept.
Maybe the movie industry will sue the guys that thought of this for infirngment of intellectual property;)
You're not alone, I for one think they're butt ugly. Palm Vx all the way, it has far better aesthetics(for the trolls out there: it has better looks) and it feels better than the visors,.. they just feel so clunky and cheap. The visor has more possiblities for expansion but i really can't see myself ever using them other than for the gadget factor.
Palm Vx or TRGPro for me thanks handspring;)
I'm not sure, but it's gotta be after the Windows version(whatever it may be) that we had running on 8086 RM Nimbus machines back in high. Man, what pieces of shit they were;)
So how can this really hurt the companies involved(if they are still going)... Not financially so I guess it comes down to image. Could they be scared of what people might think when they download one of their old games that may be just plain crap and they think it might affect their image today..?
I've recently been trying out Opera 4, I don't know if it's in other versions but one thing it does do is tell me if a site tries to set a cookie that is not for the same domain as the site and already i have come across countless numbers of these. It's really probably quite simple to implement it to handle other content too although you can already filter out stuff with proxies like muffin which in my view is really where this should be done. My opinion is a browser is a browser.. it implements the w3c standards and dealing with stuff from other sites(banner and such) belongs at the proxy level and not in the browser.
I quite agree, and I also agree with the comments about taking breaks to get ya mind off the project for a while(and other comments along those lines) but when a browser and fast net connection are only a click away it is all too easy to say 'Oh, I'll just check/.' and then your train of thought is gone and you've just lost an hour of work.
One of the main problems with these types of machines is the fact that the batteries don';t last very long drastically limits it usefulness. I know it has a 1400mAh battery but this tells me nothing about how long it will run with the processor and colour display. Anyone know anything about this?
I think this also brings up the question of whether or not it is up to the parents do decide something like this.
However caring the parent may be and the good intentions they have in mind the outcome of the potential childs life can not be predicted. One person that springs to mind is Stephan Hawking. Despite his disease he has done amazing things in the field of physics(as if you didn't know;) ) because his mind, the things other than his physical state are what makes him who he is. How would man kind have been affected by genetics testing and possible termination of birth on the fact that the parents carried the genes that would give their child this disease.
It's a big question and I don't have the answers but it's food for thought and genetic engineering makes us ask these questions, perhaps question that don't have an answer.
But what happens if I am keeping an eye on an specific item and bookmark it so I can jump straight to it? huh? There's no referer so I would get redirected which stinks and would interfere with ebays business.
It also looks like you missed the maint point of the post too, there are robots.txt files but they are being ignored, which in all fairness is not right.(Although this doesn't mean that what is happening in this lawsuit is right).
I worked in a company where we were nice enoough to allow them access to the development site of their website so they could see what was going on. This was an experiment, and a very bad move because the customer kept seeing breaking and changing when they were being developed and kept submitting bug reports even though we told them to expect this. It also undermined their confidence to things like this happen because they were not from a very technical background.
I think if clients are going to see any parts of the process if should be in controlled conditions, for the benefit of both parties.
This is the whole reason for the software analysis, design,implementation process. This just strengthens the fact that companies need to work hard of getting the requirements from the customers, keeping close contact with them and making sure you fully understand what it is they want. This process is meant to help the the software company to understand the ideas of the company and for the company to really clarify what it is they are looking for. This is the point you can tell them whether what they are asking for is feasible or not and what limitations they may be restricted to and for you mutually decided on features and come to a comprimise if their expectations are too high.
This way you are conditioning them as to what they are going to get, if they don't like it after the requirements gathering then they will go somewhere else but if they stay then they will get what they are expecting. There's no garantee's but you will have a much better chance.
I know some of the can be tedious but this is an example of what can happen if it's not done sufficiently,... there should be no suprises if it's done right.
This said though, you are always going to get some customers that are just plain awkward and a pain in the butt, but at least you have something clear to fall back on.
They can come up with such negative comments on it because they don't really understand it or the ideas behind it and also the idea of choice and being able to use what you like and not to be constrained to one persons idea of how something should be done.
When we're playing with something that has the possibilities of doing such harm and good there is an awesome amount of power to be wielded. Only human arrogance would control the assumption that we will make it through this.
There's so many variables that we cannot even begin to comprehend the posibilites, one of which could be to use genetics to remove arrogance and see they we are not as indestructible a race as is always portrayed in movies, and hope that genetic engineering is not that downfall and find that it is too late.
Someone gets a copy through the legitimate channel and then shares it. All it takes is for one person to do this and there'll be 100's of people using it to search all the services at once and there's nothing anyone can do about except use the tool to find the tool.
But you mised one important point here, it's the cops that shoot out the tires of your car, NOT you. If the the cops catch him and treat the robber roughly due to resisting arrest then they have the right to use force to aprehend the robber, if you were to go after him and beat him up in the process of cathing him then you would also be in the wrong and are likely to be procecuted yourself(sounds stupid but it does happen).
Don't just think of the language, you must remember that when they come across a problem that they need to be able to find the solutions and if they can do that themselves they'll be proud of themselves for doing it and this will in turn get them more interested and hooked.
I started when i was really young by messing with Logo. It was cool to give some instructions and see something appear. I made it draw a truck and was wow'ed by the fact that i made the computer do something i wanted it to. Of course then i went on to basic because i could get it do more complicated things. After that it was Teach yourself C book by Herbert Schildt.
His books have a great deal of good information and are easy to read and I highly recomend them.
Books and online information should be within easy reach when you're not around to help.
So let me get this straight. He's all for bootlegging (As long as the quality is crap)
By that rationale, when they were really poor and were eating a slice of green bologne a day if they where lucky that if the chance to get their music widely spread and so it sounds just like when they first played it that THEN, and only then it would be okay to distibute it??
Sorry, but I still see this as being all about money and a nuch of kids squabling over it like they found dollar bill on the street.
All this crap about buying a new Suburban and just because a person thinks they are selling it for too much doesn't give them the right to steal it well, It also doesn't give the manufacturer to go after the dealer. The person that steals the suburban is the thief, so the pigs go after them and not "Hey car dealer, someone stole one of your vehicles, I'm gonna arrest you".
Metallica really are showing some stupidity here, their mistake is right infront of their face and they can't see it.
Oh come on!! Grow up. This in no way says they are pissed, it's not even implied. Just because they are 'pressurising the EU not to go ahead with the move' doesn't mean they are pissed about the decision, it simply states that they don't like it(i can dislike something without being pissed about it, can you?) and pressurising is the only means of control they have over it.
Get past the childish: Kid 1: I'm gonna do this.
Kid 2: No, you mustn't! I hate you and am gonna stomp my feet and get all angry at you.
However, although this wording does not imply they are pissed this is the government we are talking about,... so.... okay, I concede, they could well be pissed;)
Am I the only one that is bugged by the way people misuse the acronym 'CPU' to mean 'The big box that you plug wires into' instead of the correct meaning ???

I think not, rather there is going to be a springboard cellphone module, rather than being intergrated.

Just being pedantic

And when it does become available in Europe again they set prices that are beyond any normal person.

Yeah, forgot about the sales people, oh what a joy they are ;)

Errr, the WEBSITE is a around a week old, it doesn't mean the developement is a week old. Don't try and read between the lines too much.

One possibilty however far fetched it may seem.
Someone gets a copy through the legitimate channel and then shares it. All it takes is for one person to do this and there'll be 100's of people using it to search all the services at once and there's nothing anyone can do about except use the tool to find the tool.
