I don't know if Goatse.cx is really CNet material. =)
I wonder when Tbird will get the ability to "Always display images from " like Gmail has. We really need to add that feature, plus a few other convenience features.
XulRunner is what I've been waiting for! We've got our fully functional CRM app, but having people download Firefox and run it through that just doesn't look as professional as it could.
Of course, firefox --chrome http://blahblahblah.../ works, but is still more difficult, and people begin to wonder where this Firefox thing came from. Yeah, spreading the browser is a great cause and good crusade, BUT, business is business. In fact, when people call tech support complaining IE won't work(why are they calling us? No idea, we're just too nice sometimes), we tell them to install FF, and they're good to go.
Hopefully with the Gecko Runtime Enviroment(GRE) coming along, it will make smaller downloads for the other apps once you've got one installed. (Installed FF, great, Tbird and Xulrunner are miniscule downloads). Perhaps not, but maybe...
Is that the FCC hates that you can have one phone line and a data connection supporting up to multiple phone lines, all without expensive drop-in line charges/etc. I think we should focus on getting Fiber, DSL, and Cable out to the masses and giving them VoIP.
Telecom is a changing industry, that's for sure. The players will stay the same, but will shrink and move into the background. (Yeah, I know they can make the quality bad, but with many VoIP providers going over dark fiber and becoming CLECs, many are learning to bypass the big bell's, but the big bell's are gonna stay around for awhile, someone'll have to repair those lines).
There was just something freaky with the whole mouse gestures thing beforehand. This just looks to be more of the same, although on a window manager level(Hey, XP is a window manager, ok? Well, you know what I mean anyways).
Better to limit hand gestures to when you're driving.
It's like saying that if your computer doesn't boot up all the way, you throw it out instead of fixing it. It takes time to get things working properly.
It's like Solar, efficiency keeps getting better and better, prices keep getting lower and lower. Is it worth it? Not yet. In the future? Possibly. Solar won't produce a whole lot of energy, but with the lowered energy needs from those energy saving lights and other sustainable housing features(tubular skylights for example), it may very well be a possibility.
So it doesn't do good right away is no reason to dismiss it outright.
And neither is Windows. Windows can't even stand on it's own. You need Anti-Virus, Firewall, and multiple spyware/adware tools for it to work properly. Otherwise, it dies a slow, painful death that the regular users aka "Mom and Dad" simply can't use.
To say Linux isn't ready for the desktop is correct. To say Windows is ready for the desktop isn't correct.
BTW, Windows is tolerable on the Workstation(Bigger enviroment, admin necessary), but then, you can say the same for Linux on the Workstation as well!
Wait, hell no! Not until digital paper is fully available. I already have to have a separate pair of glasses to work, now you want me to have one to read?? Maybe, just maybe, when computer monitors(LCD or CRT or otherwise) are good enough to read for long periods of time. For work I need a 15min break every hour just to keep my eyes from going into shock!
Or you'll have plenty of Vitamin D that your body will be unable to use, and lots of skin cancer and wrinkling to fight off. Want a dark tan? Uhh, not so good for you.
Of course, what they're finding out is that without a multivitamin, you're missing out on some key vitamins/minerals and your body will produce it's own cancerous cells. (Everything causes cancer these days, even your own body!)
Yeah, http://jsolait.net/examples/index.xhtml, and you're pretty much done. Not sure how compatible it is with IE but works great with FF and Moz, and, well, once your using XUL cross platform doesn't matter anymore. =)
Now the researchers and developers who created this have to do more now to make it successful and profitable, instead of just doing what they've done so far and leaving it like that. I wouldn't call a forced "Make it better" a setback. And this signals to others that they have to do a better job to get their stuff approved in the future.
Still, I can't wait until the world of shadowrun, at least the tech stuff.;) Where's my damn datajack, cyberdeck, cybereyes, and sleep regulator?
Check out the advantages of each(google it!) and think about what fits your lifestlye. My personal is on-site about 5hrs a week, offsite about 50 hrs a week(i.e. at home) and that works for me. Some people wish they could do it, but never get the work done, and there is nothing wrong with that! Figure out what you want, what fits your personality(be realistic, if you have to work towards it then it isn't you yet!), and go from there. They all have benefits/advantages and disadvantage/pain in the asses.
Except in extreme circumstances, digital is going to kill off a lot of "professional" picture takers.
With more and more megapixels, you can take bad pictures, incredibly off-center, etc.. crop, and voila, the subject is now perfect center(you can even measure it with photoshop to be sure!).
Sure, there'll always be call for professionals, but it's getting to where you can have just about anyone with a 45-minute course and a big-megapixel camera can do some pretty good shots.
My favorite is my cheap kodak digital can take pictures from far away, with its little bit of zoom, and I can get home, zoom in on the picture in photoshop(reduces maximize size of final print though, not that I really print much) and it looks like I either had a very professional camera with a huge zoom, or I was much closer when I took my picture, even if that isn't a possibility.
The best would be to make a new RBL that added headers to each email when a site is known to be using an RBL.
SPF is the way of the future, blacklists have no place and should be actively discouraged. Until SPF is in full deployment, or even after, TMDA works great too, and is the wave of today. RBL's are old, outdated, too high on themselves, etc.... Time to move on to the next solution.
I personally prefer FreeBSD, but keep up with Linux dev as well and am aware that sometimes Linux is the best tool for the job. I do prefer ports for FreeBSD and I know it can't be beat. (I've seen portage, and it's great, but not quite there yet).
Depends, there are bad software developers out there, but if Management comes up to you and says:
"Build us a simple, basic box, cardboard, that we can put stuff in" but what they REALLY wanted was a house, and they tell you brick by brick how to build it and what they want, and then go by the original deadline for the cardboard box, it's gonna be a crappy house.
Yeah, who cares if they are a bigger overall market? Or if they're computer market is just starting to grow rapidly, like it did in the US over the past 20 years? So what if the GDP is higher than in the US?
So what? We all know Bill Gates NEVER did this for the money. =)
when I was looking for a cruise and the deciding factor was whether or not I can get internet in my cabin.
Of course, it's good, I use it for work, I IM or call my friends. It's just communication, and that's what people are really addicted too, humans are a very community-oriented species. It's just a new way, and this is a way of saying "You're addicted! Ahhh! Run!!! Look at our reports! We're useful!!!! AHH!!" Nothing more, nothing less.
Start a corp, name yourself CEO, give it a cool company name, and you can hire these brilliant people for cheap/decent rate, they'll respect you because of your title(brilliance and common wisdom are two very different things).
Then you can be the not-so-good coder(or even better, a good coder) who controls the brilliant coders.

This could spell out some big problems for coders when they take their easter eggs too far. Of course, what else is on the average programmers mind?
This is such a minor release, check out the release notes: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/releases/1 .0.6.html

$20/mo in the US for T-Mobile Unlimited. Kinda pricey, but invaluable when on the go.
Not to mention Putty for Symbian works great. =) SSH'd in fixing a prob without leaving the bar!

As long as their is a texture detail slider and other options, PCs will thrive.
Running Doom3 on it's highest video settings with my 9800 Radeon OC'd video card and OC'd processor make me happy. =)
Of course, it could be possible to OC a PS3, but I barely managed this(Hey, it was easy so I did it! I didn't do it to prove anything to anybody!)
