We've tested our in house , and outside applications in Vista, but we make sure to put on all new machines a "no vista" tag.
We are the top leader in our sector of software development in business automation, and are scaling our applications to vista, but have absolutely no intentions of adopting vista in any form for internal use.
I just finished a book that gave a pretty believable explanation about the advancement to the point where a Human consciousness is dumped into a computer. It's called "The Footprints of God" by Greg Iles.
It's not a preachy book - so don't let the title stop you, but it did point out a few subtle points about a thought process accelerated, and the implications beyond that.
Jump around - teh suck
Out of cake? - likee muchly!
Skin and Bono - eh - not good...
Sorry, what? - cute and lovable if you're like 12 years old or less.
Pinch me - boring
Shower time - ok, but the cutman battle song for mega man totally blows this out of the water it's driving thru..
Class onion - better than most of the yucks - but not by much.
Bonded Snake - James Bond theme done by idiots....
Chemical smile - dancy old school game theme - decent jump
Star quality - Contra had 5 better songs - but not bad
Soulful sounds - there's a reason why 90's pop metal fell on its face and died.
Hikary - video - my nuts exploded. How much for Utada Hikaru, and when can she be delivered?
Making GM crops sterile reduces the validity of this argument.
I can see your point. Let me raise another.
Would the people benefiting from the research be better off if there was no research done at all, and if not, how does one recoup the expense involved?
Programming, on the other hand, can be done by anybody with a Computer Science or related mathematical degree, usually a two year Associate's degree. India is graduating 50,000 people with this training EVERY YEAR.
Which is why you need American programmers like me who can actually fix, adapt, upgrade, and expand the sloppy code done by mills churning out the monkeys trying to write Shakespeare.
Let's have the gubment passing these laws send us a check - then go and collect for damages!
The problem with these really great remedies being passed is that you and I will never see the money for damages. But when Uncle Sam can siphon some cash - Guess what'll happen.
well, it's nowhere as near difficult to install google as you are trying to make it be but hey - I understand your need to knee jerk and avoid the point.
Why even have cable? In a month or so - there will be DSL without a landline, and I have my cell.
Since I don't need to d/l movies I'm pert damn good to go at a fraction of the cost for cable and vonage - and of course - when I run out of gas - I can still call someone.//served...
Do you have a cell phone? For the 2 hours per year your power is out, you can use that. If that's not enough for you, you can buy a UPS and put your modem, VoIP router, and phone on it. So, now that you have enough clue to realize that availability is a non-argument...
How will vonage help me when I'm 35 miles down the road, and out of gas on my motorcycle?
I'll wait for the season stuff to come out for a few years, before I get into the show. Sci-Fi channel and Fox were particularly bad in Launching GREAT new shows and concepts - only to trash them for something cheaper, or dumb.
Tick, The lone gunman, Firefly...
What do we get in return? Wrestling.
Professional twits in costumes fake wrestling on the sci-fi channel...//weeps
This is a touch-and-go issue as it basically boils down to the user's priority (not seeing ads) versus the services priority (displaying the ads it needs to allow the user to enjoy a free service). It was only a matter of time before someone thought to try and work around ad-blockers, and all this will eventually lead to is open warfare (competing Javascript or browser code in the browser) on your machine. Instead of working around the workaround, why not consider another service that doesn't inundate you with ads?
Because eventually they turn from providing a free service to inundating you with ads? Just like yahoo?
Slashdot Mirror
Bought 8 years ago, I actually paid for a version of realplayer from best buy that lasted three weeks.
My only offer from them was to pay a lot more to get the next version, or not to be able to use the version I purchased to view content.
Frankly, supporting realplayer is dumb.

the second article states
There are about 670 Boeing 777s in service around the world.
I just finished a book that gave a pretty believable explanation about the advancement to the point where a Human consciousness is dumped into a computer. It's called "The Footprints of God" by Greg Iles.

If all it takes is a lower UID to be right - then you're wrong :p

But if the pressure stopped, and there was nothing to slow it down - what slowed it down?
It's a vacuum out there. What slowed the solar wind down?
Forgive me, I'm not a science major.
Hey, now that we had this, Can we have a "What would Slashdot look like if someone artistic designed it" Page?

Wish it was easy to take a chevy 350 motor and dump it into a ford pinto.
Maybe I should piss moan and whine until ford retrofits any new vehicle they make to allow whatever engine I want to put into it...

well nothing was mentioned about blocking ads. So your point would be?
This is a touch-and-go issue as it basically boils down to the user's priority (not seeing ads) versus the services priority (displaying the ads it needs to allow the user to enjoy a free service). It was only a matter of time before someone thought to try and work around ad-blockers, and all this will eventually lead to is open warfare (competing Javascript or browser code in the browser) on your machine.

If you mean "yahoo" then yes - it's the same e-mail client I signed up for years ago.
If Yahoo completely shuts down, I certainly won't fault them for not providing e-mail services. Until then, I will expect what I signed up for.
Switching to adblock plus worked - thank you.
Years ago - when I signed up it was "free e-mail for life" - nothing was mentioned about being forced to view ads.
Maybe they should of been more clear with their business model back then.
Bah - the mighty FSM placed the bones there.
But don' ask the midget.
Why you ask? Even he doesn't know because the Flying Spaghetti Monster wants it that way.
