I have a linux box and a Win box. Both have the time in the bottom right corner. It sorta makes sense to me to have it there, even if KDE hadn't done that as a default.
ummm, I think it's been proven that Apple had a windowing system before MS, if that's what you're referring to. Now, if you're saying they claimed to have the idea before Xerox PARC, then I don't remember that one. I'll fully admit my un-knowledge (whatever, I'm tired) if that's the case.
I agree with that. If you buy it, you get free access to loads and loads of tutorials on their website and you can find many of these bootleg on the web at different places. Just to let you know that.
Most people also started using the.Mac service when they were told it was free for life. I'd say this is keeping with what Apple said, even if it is against current policy.
They can also track you by GPS, but that's where the "only while a call is in session" things. I'm pretty sure he was talking more about a positive ID lock on a specific person. As it is, that's hard enough if you stay on the phone, let alone if you get off the phone.
OT, but I love your comments, though I'm not sure I'd want to go from 200 mph in Cali straight down to 50 in the ocean. Talk about whiplash! Maybe they stole the inertial dampeners from the Enterprise or something?
Hmmmmm, do you ever eat fast food? I don't actually own any sporks, but they're meant for fast food that is either both or either liquid and solid. Most of the time they're used mainly because it's cheaper to stock sporks than separate forks and spoons. If this does both relatively well while being relatively cheap, it will quickly find a niche market (just as the spork has).
Frontal area is not all you need to look at as far as aerodynamics is concerned. It's how the air moves around the whole thing that matters. Look at speed records for human powered bicycles. The highest speeds are gotten by building an aerodynamic shield (with more frontal area than the original bike). That leads me to conclude that, yes, it would need a slightly higher power motor for the 200 mph than a motorcycle, but only because of the increased weight. Because of aerodynamic principles it would be easier for something like this to accelerate above 130 mph than any conventional motorcycle.
If you want a comparison, look at drag racing cars. The fastest ones don't necessarily have the smallest frontal area, but they do have the best aerodynamic properties.
A LOT slower, a LOT worse on gas, and totally defeats the purpose of the small size of the vehicle in question. These two vehicles were very obviously not built for the same thing.
Either way the guy sounds like he's being an ass, not like he's trying to be funny. I think it makes sense, but he sounds like he's personally offended by this thing.
I forgot the fact that he's saying that the (public, governmentally funded) school district is pushing MS products, and not accepting any "less" from their students (assuming that pure HTML is less than the output of Frontpage).
Not sure, but I'm sure that could work. I just don't know if it's been coded yet. Why, though, do you want such a faster RAMDAC? That lets you play at higher resolutions with higher color. It has nothing to do with speed. Take a 9700 and halve it's RAMDAC, if I remember how this works correctly, then both would render an 800x600 scene at the same framerate. It just means the original (IE the one with full speed RAMDAC) can display this info at higher res. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but that's how I understand it, since a RAMDAC is only needed for CRT monitors, not digital ones.
Stop and think: not just slashdotters are gonna be at that site tomorrow. Every person who really even cares is gonna go for a look. Think slashdot x10 or x20. There have been some UNIX servers brought down by a slashdotting before, but since it's technically a government site it hopefully has the bandwidth to handle that kind of hammering.
Except Nintendo is doing this on a much smaller scale than many other companies that could be named. I personally think that Nintendo is a great game manufacturer, as was Sega. I'd hate to see them go under because the EU decided to target them rather than computer hardware or software companies that do this much more often.
I'm glad Sega didn't die after they realized they couldn't make any more money with consoles. The thing is, if Nintendo's console division dies, chances are the whole company will die since they've been dependent on different forms of "hardware" since they opened at the end of the 1800s.
There's also the fact that shipping may cost more to Germany and stuff so that the offset in price is somewhat balanced, if not totally.
That all said, I'd prefer if Microsoft stayed in business even if they are amoral, unethical, expensive, and all sorts of other bad things. They help create competition for companies and passion for programmers who want to do better. Same goes for each and every console game maker that makes a single worthwhile game; maybe even the ones that make bad games. They all make people want to do better for themselves.
I used to work at the pension co for a big name company. they had an excel spreadsheet for each person. Each spreadsheet was 9 MB compressed with winzip, and something like 15 MB or so uncompressed, I think. I thought they were sorta stupid for not using databases, too, and it seems like I was right.
The reason Apple went with Motorola is that Motorola's chips were on average getting I think 20% higher clock speeds, and also they were about 25-50% faster per clock than the IBM PPC chips. The most likely reason Apple won't go back to IBM is that IBM uses their own chips more now than they used to and they don't want the competition. As well as the fact that, clock for clock, x86 is now faster than PPC architecture, unless they somehow make another jump.
If you're saying that they use CodeWarrior which is just a front end to GCC, then you'd be wrong, unless they changed compilers in the last year or so. Last time I used CodeWarrior was a frontend for the Metrowerks compiler, as someone else stated in another post. It may have some commonalities with GCC, but it's not bare GCC.
I have one problem with your comments. It sounds like you are saying that we don't have the right to try to convince the RIAA that they are harming the industry rather than helping it. And saying "illegal file-swapping crowd filled with university students" is wrong because pretty much everyone that was there said they buy more music because of the file sharing. Talk to some RIAA execs for a bit about the subject. Not one of the ones that has been coached; a real one that is deeply entrenched in the Association and shares their values. You'll get the impression that they don't care about the artists unless they make mega-billions. And even then they only care about the money from the artist. I've gone a bit long on this. I'm not sure exactly what you meant by your comments, but implying that someone can't tell a draconic, corrupt corporation to kiss their ass will really piss lots of people off.
Go into a large city. I've read some people's accounts of $18-25 per CD in New York, well go to the big stores in Chicago and it's the same story. Even the suburban Targets are high. You have to go pretty far away from the city to get to where CDs average $14 around here.
That blurb you found merely states that if you want to see how secure your program is, I can break the DMCA as pertains to your program (or system as the case may be) as long as I have your permission. I probably would also need to alert the "authorities" so they don't have any objections. It has nothing to do with this case since this case is fixing a security problem rather than finding one.
Why does everybody assume this has something to do with time travel? it sure as hell doesn't since it is electrical components sending info across a space

He's alluding to the fact that most every program that they have in the district that deals with computers either uses MS or Adobe software.

You forgot one: the US government has been cracking down on this stuff lately, and the EU is trying to follow suit.

sorry, gotta nitpick. In Mario games, they hit the bricks with their fists. That is all. Nothing more to see here.

I think that it's more the fact that nothing's been documented very well by Apple so it's hard to understand how Mac parts work together.
