Whew, I'm glad you avoided any hyperbole on that one. Instead you were very reasonable in warning us that this HTML Mad-Lib is worse than a million World War 2s.
How many times a day do you do this? Would productivity gains be meaningful? What kind of a gain would you get if your file copies began as soon as you desired them to do so, without further action on your part? Take the time right down to zero, and how much would you gain during an average working day?
I stand by my original position: This is a lousy example of why someone should spend gobs of money on a big monitor.
Sure, I'll agree that big screens can make one more productive. In fact I'd rather have two big monitors than one attached to my machine. More real estate is a good thing.
But the given example, of dragging and dropping files, has got to be the stupidest thing I've read today, and I'm already at work.
Transmeta has a rather extensive patent portfolio, with many new ones granted this year.
In addition, they've got a fair number of engineers working at both Sony and Microsoft, and an Efficeon CPU (with AMD branding) is the only certified processor for the FlexGo program.
The history is that Transmeta has brought out some innovative low-power CPUs, but never seemed to gain any market traction at all.
Yes, I think this case might just well have real merit.
After all, the life cycle of a car, beginning with design, is just plain long. They can't just mandate that beginning tomorrow, every car made will have 'future technology 1' embedded. Fine, that makes sense.
But if this is just about notifying buyers, it should be immediate. There's no need to give GM five years to get out a dealer bulletin and some stickers for the owners manuals.
This is Mr. E.R. Bradshaw of Napier Court, Black Lion Road London SE5. He can not be seen. Now I am going to ask him to stand up. Mr. Bradshaw will you stand up please
In the distance Mr Bradshaw stands up. There is a loud gunshot as Mr Bradshaw is shot in the stomach. He crumples to the ground
All they really need to do is report on the number of subscribers, really.
Who in the *hell* wants to waste their time sitting in front of commercials, anyway? We put up with it from the early days of TV because once you bought the box, it was a 'free' service. Only now many (most?) of us pay, sometimes rather significant amounts of money, in order to bring a signal and service package into our homes. Why *anyone* should feel entitled to my eyes and attention in order to try and sell me on their crappy products really escapes me.

Your comments would be correct, if the intention was indeed 'law-enforcement'.
Clearly this was an effort at intimidation. When the intention is to intimidate, pretty much all bets are off.

It's not just helpful, it's our duty as citizens.

Ah, the dessert planet...
Where were you when David St. Hubbins ordered an 18" high stonehenge trilithon?
Clean... politicians?
Does not compute!
Honestly, I find mouse+keyboard to be the best controller combination.
Nah, Ballmer is all head and ass.
Four Mozilla developers missing, story at eleven.

In fact, forget about the moon.
when I invite Jack to take a nice vacation in the Sun. I mean physically inside the generally accepted diameter of the star.
Let's be honest here, whatever you think of her acting skills, making her invisible is ill-advised.

This demonstrates the value of not being seen.
Hrmmm... So the arms race continues, as Metal Storm weaponry becomes more widely deployed to counter the armor! The system works!
Hrmmm...
So with this new advanced 'd30' stuff, does that mean you need to roll a natural 30 to get a critical hit?
Heh, yeah. It's right up there with 'Nev-R-Break' hydraulic hoses.
If crime doesn't pay, how come so many of the most lucrative things are illegal?
And everything ELSE I buy would go down in cost by anywhere from 5 to 50 percent. I'll bet it would even out.

Prob'ly some developer at IBM deleted said depositions, which would have made this slam-dunk of a case airtight.
Whoa! Check it out! I never thought winged monkeys would really come flying out of my ass.
