Red Hat 9 is a 'major distribution' and I haven't had a kernel patch in ages. My box is probably venerable to all sorts of bugs. But now Red Hat wants me to pay for security updates? Grrr. Someone tell me there is a better solution. I want a 'pay once but free update for 5 year' solution that other OS vendors offer.
The laptop will automatically shut down if the battery goes below 10%, sometimes without a warning (which is actually a good thing, because users should never leave batteries drain below ~20%, as this damages all batteries in general).
Without warning!? What kind of usablility is that. At 10%, it has plenty of power to tell you that the batteries are running low and ask if you want to save. And if it needs to shutdown, it better hibernate instead of closing my unsaved documents. Further more, all this needs to happen without user intervention.
When I was there, the only thing interesting about the place was the architechture and the movie theather. As for the store items, almost everything was borked, and they are under staffed.
DirectX isn't just graphics. It is also networking, realtime input, sound, etc. Have you ever tried creating a GUI with DirectX? It is hard because you don't get the standard controls. What Avalon does is bridge that gap and bring 3D to the GUI controls (eg, outside the client area). Direct3D will only render into the client area.
Btw, there is already a new graphic API, kind of a predecesor of Avalon, it's called GDI+. Notice that it is class based and supports ARGB format (like DirectX), but it can be used without having to do a bunch of DirectX setup calls. I am currently using GDI+ and it is much easier to use than the Win32 GDI functions.
Argh.. people who tries to come up with a new 'independent monetary system' seems to not understand two things. 1) Time is money 2) The existing banking system.
They are essentially trying to create a miniature banking system (within a community)by hoping people's time is worth zero. There is a reason why we now have bank notes, checks, credit cards, bankers, notaries, etc.
...offers many of the features that have been requested by the software's users over the last year and a half, these include: Support for boats, support for firing from vehicles, support for drive-bys, and support for planes.
So is this like a new car/boat/plane operating system for the mafia to take out targets with a push of a button?
I volunteered to look after a student computer lab at university. We did a fresh install of Windows 2000...
Which means there were other volunteers and they probably handed out admin accounts to their friends. Sorry, but someone in your group was probably to blame. Making sure your patches are updated is useless if someone has admin. That goes no matter what OS is being used.
Alignment is not a problem. You can use automatic cell matching using a reconfigurable IOB. What you need is an array of cells that has more cells than signals, eg, extra cells on both ends. Then set the chips together, and initialize the entire cell array with an alignment pattern (eg. a pattern that has no repeated sequences. The two chips can then read the other chip's pattern and use that information to determine which cells correspond to which signal. You will of course need to have extra cells both horizontally and vertically.

Not a vast improvement? You must be a regular slashdot reader that doesn't RTFA or in this case RTFE (Read the freaking EULA).

Anyone know if it is possible to create signatures that are smaller? Say 64-bits?
You people obviously don't google. Try 'Firefox MSI'
Or perhaps someone at icann.org is asleep at the switch themselves? (hint hint)
Just tried it using PairNIC. It didn't show up as available. Slashdot.org however is available. =)

Dell already has mini-stores (the one in the little islands) in many of the malls around the US.
Ditto that!
is it possible to get a fp?
They will soon make an annoucement that says the money will go toward a new server instead.
I am still waiting for a cart that will return itself to the store instead of running all over the parking lot.
Anyone noticed the ad for Primerventures.com? It seems to be a PR stunt for ThinkFilm. =)

(Has Windows really had Translucencies and shadows since 1999?)
Yes, Windows 2000 had full translucencies support. How do I know? I wrote TransparentFX for Winamp
And how much are you willing to pay for this?
Yum, video! They should have asked the /. crowd for help. If we can just get a few more people, their molten server would become plasma!
May be Slashdot needs a business section?

There is one thing that can't be outsourced. Culture.
