I would have, but we arn't supposed to change customers configs without consent. Anyway, I do try and talk everyone of them into using Mozilla, but as the guy above pointed out, soem peopel are just so MS brainwashed, they'd rather die then not use IE.
I feel that the worlds most annoying thing they ever did to the Standard 101 was to place Sleep, Wake and Power in place of PrintScreen, ScrollLock and Pause/Break. It's so f*ing annoying. Ever tried to take a screenshot only to have the screen go blank? Or you're gaming and you need to take a leak right after that only successful move of 1001 moves and you reach for the pause only to have the system shut down? I got so pissed i yanked out the offending keys before condeming the thing and buying a new keyboard.
The guy who came up with that 'bright' idea should be castrated.
Makes one too, Hyundai 2.4 Ghz Desktop replacement.
Features: 2.4 GHz P4 (supports up to 3.06 Ghz), 512 MB 333Mhz DDR SODIMM (Rare, the rest are usually 266Mhz), 40 GB HDD, 1.44 floppy, ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 w/ 64MB non-shared DDR RAM, 17" Wide screen TFT display, Combo drive, integrated WEBCAM & Microphone, Integrated 5.1 channell output sound with builtin FOUR point speakers, Keyboard with NUMPAD.
USB2.0, Firewire (Passive, sadly), PCMCIA, 56k, LAN, LTP, Serial, VGA, RGB, IrDA and Wifi. Selling for the Equiv of US$1841.
The thing here is that while all these Desktop replacements pack a punch, they are poor laptops, at 4.5Kg and with a battery life of 2 hours, you're not going to get any work done on the go.
It's your usual 101 IBM compatible keyboard, but aside from the usual Roman script, there is also a part of the standardised pictograph on it. The same goes for Jawi (Arabic) keyboards.
Think of it as an engineering keyboard for Asians.
The agency decided last month to allow cell phone companies and others to lease unused portions of their airwaves, letting them make deals for slices of spectrum to fill cell phone dead zones or provide wireless services to certain locations for limited times.
I'm very sure what goign to happen are those very rich telcos are goign to just buy the bandwidth then let it out to other companies for rents as high as their anuses.
For the record, I'm not American. Also, I'm not out to make Americans look bad. I just sometimes wonder why you guys don't do the things you guys are so great at.
Also, my apologies for the spelling and the stereotypes.
We could have done that the technology we had 40 years ago.
Lookign at teh brighter side, it'll at least put the heat on NASA again. Seeing as how teh Space Program went downhill with teh fall of the USSR, not we have another comunist nation to go up against.
We can't let those Reds win now can we? (No offence to China)
Are a bluetooth enabled PDA, Phone and a real comfy headphone.
Make the phone as small as you can, with no buttons (save for Power and BT interface), speakers, screen or mike, with as much battery as you can.
Then supply a phone interface app for PalmOS/PocketPC/Linux PDA's and you're set to go.
You can hide your phone anywhere on your person as you'll never have to reach for it, you can do every wireless data thing on your PDA and take teh calls on your headset and use it for mp3 playback as well.
Taht way, everything is at it's optimal size, and they all don't drain 1 battery. If the phone dies you still have your PDA and vice versa.
As it stands, in some parts of the not so rich world , movie tickets are just about equel that in value.
So what if the lowest possible ticket price is 33 cents? it's just like booking a really cheap flight.. teh cheapest one being the 3 a.m flight which you have to book 6 months adead for.
Why not have it like in a real theather, where the better seats, say smack right in the center, are more expensive then the left most seat in the front row?
You get to advertise cheap and you have the option of paying less for a crappy seat.
No, you don't have to remove IE. But you will have to delete it's entries in the registery, then reboot and delete all the files refrenced and all it's folders.. IIRC, it was 4 diffrent folders scattered all over your system.
Whats the point? You still need good motor-neuron skills anyway. Your input device is only an extension of your hand, if you have poor control of your hand, what can the device do for you?
In the fight in the playground, where Neo 1st meets the swarm of Agents Smiths, the texture mapping and bluring for the Smiths were just off. Also, their perspective when flying away after being hit by the pole was also lacking somehow.
I think they got the idea right in Star Wars with Yoda, you just can't properly animate CG at high speed.... not with todays rendering capabilities anyway.
But what if you installed low powered IR strobes? All you need are LEDs as strong as theones on a remote, just many of them. have them strobe on and off radomly on varying intervles and on diffrent frequencies. Sure you can filter it, but it not 100% of it, and that is sure going to annoy anyone watching the tape after.
That is so true. I was just thinking this the other day, here in Asia, we have people selling bootlegged VCDs of every possible movie. Then we have people like the local chaper of the MPAA trying to stop all this people. I'm thinking why bother?
Those who would shell out the money to see a movie on the big screen whould have already done so. It's those who won't normally shell out $10 a person to see a show that will buy the VCDs.
So instead of spending many millions of dollars fighting a battle you will never win, why not make a few bucks off these people? Come out with your own version of 'bootleg' make a compressed version of your movie, in 320x288, make the color a bit off-ish and downmix the 5.1 sorround to a mono.
Sell it for $2 more then the piates and what do you have? a product that is still better then a camcorder movie, but still crappy enough to keep people in the cinema. You make mone instead of loose it in sales and fighting pirates, and even if the pirates bootleg that, because it's within their means, people'd rather do the right thing.
... M$ will most likely fail... rememeber everytime M$ tried to impliment a program or format that is media related, hoping to make it standard, but it comes out DOA?
Think Windows Movie Maker. It's so useless, it can't even live up to those 3rd rate free download video editors.
Last time i checked, WMA was still living in mp3's shadow.
And, lets not even talk about the half excreated piece of fecal matter that is M$ Publisher...

... I'm working my holiday away at a computer store. You know what? 90% of those who bring in their computers complain that their PCs are lagging.
I ask, "Do you use IE?" They all reply, "Yes!"
I install Ad-aware and 198 items removed later: "Wow! Thats fast!"
Using IE is like walking into a battlefield with a big bullseye painted on you.
Is on board sound good?
If you are into quality, NO.
If you are just looking for something to make a sound while you work, YES.

Whats with you? I find that the ad's they run in Cinemas aremore interesting and better executed then teh crap they show on TV.
Like the Visa one.
Not where i'm at. We get a ticket with a number on it. but you're free to change seats if you want to when the show starts, and theres space.
As it stands, in some parts of the not so rich world , movie tickets are just about equel that in value.
So what if the lowest possible ticket price is 33 cents? it's just like booking a really cheap flight.. teh cheapest one being the 3 a.m flight which you have to book 6 months adead for.

Real fitting name.

... The reason i buy a brand of printer is because i know i can get knock offs. Otherwise, it'll be extremely expensive to use my printer.
Today, i just bought an Epson CX3100.. it's a dream...
