When you get into the world or racing games, third person rules nearly absolute. Why? Because you have no peripheral vision in first person. You can't rotate your head to look to the inside.
In the world of flight sims (I play IL-2), the TrackIR is amazing. You move your head, the view moves. Very natural, and makes the first-person view the best. And SimBin's GTR will support TrackIR.
When I travel for work, I read heavy stuff. I got through _War and Peace_ that way. I look around and people are only reading stupid pulp or Executive Management books.
Well, if you really want to be counter culture, just wait a few months, then start using IE again after the bulk of computer using Americans move over, that will really shock your friends, it can be like a cult
Kinda like the Microsoft Bob cult that meets in someone's basement down the street. Weird geek types, that's for sure.
she had to admit that she thrived on the male attention. It was just a great big high for her.
I wonder what she'll be like when she's 47, trying to recreate those magic highs of her youth? Is it like Southern California, where you see aging women dressed in buffoonish teen clothing?
And really, the post itself lists a TON of features DragonFly has. I'm not going to list them all again.
He wanted a "clear and concise list", not a TON of reasons. Your TON of reasons is nothing like clear and concise. This is your chance to do some nice marketing to a community of geeks. How hard could that be?
What makes you think that if all the workload was spread evenly throughout all nations that everyone would have a job, an income, and a healthy life?
It's not communism. The problem is that he cares more about people across the globe, whom he's never met, than his neighbors right here. Probably never met them, either, it's America...
But by posting this question to/., and by being able to show a record of his attempts at fixing the problem, he should be off the hook. He can point to this story as a time-stamped description of his stopped efforts. The the blame would shift to his boss.
Once the formerly free American sheeple resign themselves to arbitrary governmental intrusions into their lives in order to further some ill-defined and ever elusive "war against terror", they'll stop squawking about...
Remember those tales about how there were many Southern slaves who were happy in their condition, were treated well enough? I'm starting to understand. It's all around us.
The blame doesn't rest with stubborn users who refuse to switch.
You use a known bad product when good alternatives have been offered, you're an idiot. Just like if you stroll through the ghetto with Franklins hanging out all over you doesn't excuse you getting robbed, but you're still an idiot.
So the only recourse to introducing the new software is to *trick* people into using it? Doesn't sound like a very effective (or fair) argument.
True, but we're dealing with stupid people here. People who, given all the reasons NOT to use IE still insist on using it. If you have to do this to secure your own box, you do it. If it's not your box, let it go to pieces and refuse to fix it.
You know, if the Kerry campaign could figure out a way to adapt this strategy to replace GWB, we might have a pretty painless transition come November.
He has. Skull and Bones man. Reflexive Pro-War voter. Rich, Statist. The only difference I can see is he looks cadaverous.

I'll break it to you gently: _you_ were a peasant, and paid for the privilege.
For crying out loud, where have you been so long? Quick, let them know before it's too late.

The same day Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin became the three-legged bastion of right-wing reaction.

Same here--I love Opera. That is, _after_ I get that crazy intial interface cleaned up.
A broken clock is right twice a day.

I laughed, I cried, it was an emotional roller coaster.
I'm not familiar with these "travellers", not being in the UK--are they what used to be called Gypsies?
Just another sign of Western Decadence: people will die if you take away their iPods.
And how do we on /. know this? Because the complaint articles about how bad SWG is stopped coming. If they're not complaining, it must be all OK.
I didn't know there was that kind of money in waiting tables and hanging out on street corners with a can.
Microsoft is a Lime. (Obscure _stretched_ reference to Harry Lime).

I am not a lawyer, but I play one on Slashdot!
But I could be wrong.
Yup.
