Mozilla wants to kill tabbed browsing, The Hard Drive Is Inside The Computer, and now Sophos in Klingon? Is 19 May a significant day I wasn't previously aware of? Second Fools Day or something?
I currently have 198 tabs open, across 7 windows. I find it leads to a much better work flow for me at least.
Well it would, if it wasn't for one thing - firefox performance degrades significantly as the number of tabs increases. I suspect it is due in part to refusing to spawn multiple threads (1 per tab or plugin instance would be nice), and memory usage, while better than previous versions, still increases with time suggesting a leak somewhere.
Aza Raskin, the head of user experience at Mozilla Labs, has already blogged on the possibility of moving tabs down the side of the browser, with tabs grouped by the type of activity involved
You mean like the Tree Style Tab firefox addon? For those of us with widescreen monitors (most/.ers I'd suspect), having hierarchical tabs down the side is a major benefit. I love how opening a link as a new tab spawns a new child tab so you automatically get context.
Because the former is about 20 times faster on a modern computer (I/O bound, waiting on the disk, rather than CPU bound, waiting on the pseudo-random number generator to spit out digits).

It sounds like Microsoft recognised and took advantage of flaws in the ODF specification, specifically that there is no standard namespace for formulas. Sure, Microsoft is evil and deserves nothing less than utter liquidation, but can one really blame them in this case?
If we have been touting ODF as a serious document specification for so long I'd say we got exactly what we deserved - market fragmentation and a bad reputation.
... but I thought that carry-on laptops were susceptible to invasive data-mining by the DHS, and instant confiscation if they don't like your desktop background?
If I absolutely had to take a laptop on an aircraft I think I'd check it in, inside a padded metal case.
20 years ago, yes. Most modern (15 years old) VCRs will automatically play video tapes that don't have an intact Write Enable tab, on the theory that since you don't want to record onto it you must want to play it.
Looks similar to the efforts the xscreensaver developers, with their m6502 and Apple2 hacks that simulate CRT artifacts such as static, colour separation, and shear.
what part of 10 year old equipment didn't you understand? The part where they connected it to a *network*.
At that time your looking at Red Hat 5. think about it. linux wasn't ready back then for mission critical stuff. Of course it was. Well, perhaps the RedHat distro was a bit immature back then, but Debian certainly was ready, as was Slackware. But that's not really the point. The question is, why were Microsoft's non-realtime, closed-source solutions considered for controlling mission-critical medical hardware?
Does anyone know why there isn't enough antiviral flu medication to go around? Is it scarcity of raw materials, unreasonably low tolerances for variation leading to tight quality control in manufacturing? If so, I can understand fully.
But if one vial of antiviral medication is denied to someone due to anything resembling an IP issue... well let's just say it would be time for a revolution.
Goodness gracious me, do people still use Nero? To this day a small shudder traverses my spine as I recall my experiences with that fine product. I thought everyone had moved on to the likes of InfraRecorder.
Then again, that might be a whooshing sound I just heard somewhere above me.
I'm no copyright lawyer, but isn't that whole After Death copyright clock only for written works (books, computer code, etc). I thought the clock for recordings started at the moment of first public performance or distribution.

*sigh* yes I miss OS/2 too.
Thanks for opening up old wounds. ... *sigh*

So you're saying that
is just as effective as
for secure-deleting a hard drive?
Because the former is about 20 times faster on a modern computer (I/O bound, waiting on the disk, rather than CPU bound, waiting on the pseudo-random number generator to spit out digits).
What do you mean, *even* tapes? LTO and the like are still the standard for offline backing up of data.
Two servers? Sounds a lot like a redundant configuration similar to RAID which, as we all know, should never, ever be considered backup.
And here I was all looking forward to reading about something real, like scientific discoveries, philanthropic work, or contribution to the arts.
I'm tagging this !realachievements
At first I thought this was a new spinoff game release. However I'd expect the title to come from SCEA, not ESA.
Really? A lot of flash drives I use (about half the models I'd say) still have that switch.
Hook, line, sinker and copy of Angling Times.
To those of us who have done business with them, it is painfully apparent that they are.
Our apologies...

The paper-serving ceremony will feature Darl, still be pounding his fist on the table, chanting "there is still NO FREE lunch, guys".
Yes, but not everyone yet has IPS panels. Most are stuck with crapola Twisted Nematic displays.

You insert a VHS into a VCR, you press play.

I suspect, but can't tell for sure, that you may be thinking of Michael Bay (Armageddon, Pearl Harbour, Transformers), not JJ Abrams (Alias)
Well, what else you you going to make molar crowns out of?
Porcelain? *shudder*

So is a flash drive with the switch set to the "Read-Only" position. Are they exempt too?
