We got the silly EU-directive that said all games must be sold in dvd-cases. And we lost all the fun stuff that used to be in those game boxes, cheaper for game distributors I guess, so atleast someone won.
Ah but those cassettes were actually digital in format, but I recall getting several games in source code form on magazines, that should count as non-digital distribution.
There are plenty of JPGs but people still do prefer (and authoring apps too) GIFs instead of PNGs. Now if IE would finally support PNGs, then, maybe then PNGs would finally become prevalent. Also it is fun to do 512 or 1024 or even 2048 colored GIFs...
You should perhaps install Windows Steady State to your granpa's PC, that way anything he does in XP will be reverted back to working condition on boot.
I just wish all applications that want to install these "quicklaunch" tools would ask me before just going there and install themselves. I just hate to be always removing QTTask etc from my startup files on Windows and I really don't like if I need to begin to keep track of my browsers too.
Unfortunately flash SSDs usually have some percentage of sectors you cannot directly access, these are used for wear leveling and bad sector remapping. So when you dd with/dev/zero, it is quite possible that some part of the original data is left intact. And there can be quite alot of those sectors, I recall reading on one SSD drive that had 32GiB flash in it, but had 32GB available for the user, so 2250MiB was used for wear leveling and bad sectors (helps to get better yealds if you can have several bad 512KiB cells).
Yes they have, but usually they do make sure they have all required rights for the photo before using it, or atleast we did when I worked in an ad agency. Just forgetting to get the model release, even if nothing bad happened, was enough to get you fired.
5. If the photo contains persons, the ad agency won't buy the photos without a signed model release, or if they do, you (or the person in the photo) can sue them.
Near-zero value product? Hmm, they do have all kinds of filter lists available that are quite handy in business environments. The google thingy is silly I admit, but it can be disabled (should be disabled by default IMHO). And if you disable the google hijacking, what kind of personal data can they collect? And the typo correction can be useful for people who like that kind of stuff. They might make money from your (my?) typos, but who cares, it is not my money that is wasted and in any case, it is opt-in service, so if you don't like it, don't opt-in:)
And if you are concerned with worm infections, why not run OpenDNS + IDS + Antivir? Who says that if you use OpenDNS you cannot use anything else to protect yourself.
Nothing in that says it wasn't written by B.Gates, which is was, though some of it was written by Neil Konzen. See more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DONKEY.BAS, can't be bothered to find the original article that discussed the origins of DONKEY.BAS.
He released the source code for DONKEY.BAS and it corrupted my then still so young and naive mind. Now I am incapable of learning any OOP-princibles, instead I love gotos and three letter variable names.
Yes, I call that a small margin as that difference is 0.45% of total votes cast, now if I was running in those towns where 2% of votes were lost, I would be furious.
In my municipality, about 80 votes for candidate was about the maximum, 11 got you elected and 5 was enough to get a in as a backup. Also votes are used for dividing up seats in different comissions/boards/positions etc. And if I recall correctly, of about 2000(ish) ballots cast here, one was spoiled, rest were valid.
It seems that the [OK] [CANCEL] buttons didn't have very good feedback and they didn't work all the time, sometimes requiring multiple clicks to register, which is why some people took their cards after clicking on OK several times.
The Finnish system has very very low spoilage rate, the voting is done by writing the number of the candidate on the ballot and just about everybody does manage to do it correctly. And the margins in small municipalities are very tiny, had I gotten 7 more votes I would have been elected, and I got 3:)

Only if you didn't rip it out, I prefer my PS3 without bluray, thank you very much.
But was that blind as in can't see anything or just legally blind?
The size of the page isn't limited, so article or two won't matter, and if you don't like them Apple articles, there is way to hide them.
Agreed, and also never ever use your realname on the internet, unless you are ready to take responsibility of your actions.
I am the only one who thinks kerosene lamps actually do smell quite nice.
You are forgiven, I just thought that Franken would like to make fun of the doctrine rathen than support it.

Ever use Google? Their logo on the mainpage is a gif.

I am confused but that foxnews clip doesn't seem to say anything about Franken's views on Fairness doctrine.

You must be kidding..
