There is nothing new about annotating electronic documents. This has been a part of document management systems for decades. I've been at this company (http://www.mindwrap.com/) for over 15 years. It's been part and parcel of our product since before I arrived. Before that, in 1993, I worked on a FileNet document management system installation. FileNet already had an annotation capability for Windows clients. I wrote a Macintosh implementation for the project.
I second this. I've been using the Google Web Toolkit (GWT, http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/) for about 5 years now with good results. Write in Java, compile to Javascript, and let GWT handle the browser differences. The source is all there if you want to see how their Javascript works, and you can insert you're own Javascript code when and where you want it. Finally, the user's group has been an excellent source of advice.
I'm wondering if this charge is legally provable. I would think the complainant would have to do some reverse engineering of Symantec's software and reverse engineering is most likely forbidden by Symantec's EULA. Without this, how can it be proven what Symantec did or did not find on the computer?
Even then, does anyone think it can be made understandable to a judge or 12 jurors?
T-Mo has a good phone selection this year and Sprint is getting better as well but Apple killed them with the iphone
Agreed. I like my Android, but I have one in part because I'm a Linux user: I don't have a Mac or Windows PC at home to run iTunes (just managing an iPod is labor enough). We're all/mostly geeks here, but among the unwashed masses, the iPhone dominates. So long as a carrier can't offer an iPhone, that carrier is doomed to a distant 3rd place behind AT&T and Verizon.
I dunno what areas Mediacom serves, but in some places there is only one available high speed ISP. (And please do not suggest satellite internet as an alternative. It was my only alternative for 3 years, and it's a joke.>
They should really tell us geeks first. After all, the administration wants folks to get interested in math, science, and engineering. And who better to rebuild a society but those with the brains.
"This is the excellent foppery of the world, that,
when we are sick in fortune,--often the surfeit
of our own behavior,--we make guilty of our
disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars: as
if we were villains by necessity; fools by
heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and
treachers, by spherical predominance; drunkards,
liars, and adulterers, by an enforced obedience of
planetary influence; and all that we are evil in,
by a divine thrusting on: an admirable evasion
of whoremaster man, to lay his goatish
disposition to the charge of a star!"
--Wm Shakespeare, 'King Lear', I, ii
Monetary damages are too easy on spammers. How about for a first offense a 5 year ban on computers, to include ATM, automobile computers, and--oh yeah--that microchip in your pacemaker. Second offense we take your hands (gotta be vets out there interest in transplants).
For decades now the microwave has been a common kitchen appliance. But what good is a microwave when your beer is warm? It's about time someone came up with a rapid chilling system for beer. When can I expect to see one of these at Best Buy?
I've lived two places in a rural county in Virginia (population 7000). The first place Google originally plotted correctly. A year later, it couldn't be found. I submitted an error. They "corrected" it. The location now plots, but only if the you enter street, state, and zip. Put in the town's name (really, just a crossroad and a post office name), and the place can't be found. Both locations are correct on Yahoo! Maps and MapQuest. (Oh, and the neighbor's quarter mile long driveway plots as a road.)
The second location did not plot until I corrected it. Now it's okay, but many other things in the area are wrong, things I've also pointed out. The official use only parking lot for the sherrif's office and the courthouse is shown as a through street. Restaurants, shops, and B&B are wrong. Still the place is only 2 blocks by 4. Maybe Google figures that's close enough.
Best of luck to the ROK on this: They face a dangerous, implacable foe. The North has about half the South's population, but twice as many men under arms. The North also has a huge number of long range artillery pieces, some that can reach the northern suburbs of Seoul from north of the DMZ.
The sinking of the South Korea ship is nothing new, except perhaps scale. I spent 2 1/2 years in Korea as a contractor with the ROK-US Combined Forces Command. It seemed not a week went by when there wasn't some provocation, from firing shots across the DMZ to exploding a bomb at Kimpo Airport.
You'd best cover IE, Firefox, and Safari at a minimum.
I've been using the Google Web Toolkit (http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/) for the past 3 years and have been very happy with it.
For what I want, this is the right track. I'm not interested in paying several hundred dollars for something that binds me to Amazon or Barnes & Nobel or Apple or whomever. I learned that lesson from having an iPod. It was a generous Christmas gift and I get a lot of use out of it, but managing it in my Linux-only world is a pain.
My idea for an e-book reader is something I call Gutenberg friendly: It has what I need to download and display text, HTML, PDF, and Postscript files that I might download from Project Gutenberg or other open sites as well as software manuals. That and a $100 price tag could win me over to the e-book world.
Thanks. I'll look in to Clementine. Frankly I care nothing for ratings and tags. I don't even have that many play lists. I'd just like to organize music--either downloaded or from a CD--by artist(s) and album, display cover art, and manage podcasts. If someone adds video and photos, that's great, but simple music and podcasts are what I use the device for.

...and computing sales tax on a state-by-state business is too difficult for them. Bah!
I Gnu it.

So, my little smartphone, KDE wants your UI to lock up as often as the sessions on my openSuSE box do. And you're music player is gonna turn to junk.

From http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2011/02/07/133503696/the-friday-podcast-egypts-military-inc "So far, the Egyptian military has largely sided with the protesters in the streets of Cairo. This is not only because the military supports the people; it's also because the military sells the people lots of stuff."
For years I've said the the lottery is a tax on those who don't know math. Now I realized that it's a boon to those really know their math.
It said I was not logged on to either GMail or Facebook although I was.

That and a non-Murdoch paper could sell me on a iPad.
Faux News seems a more appropriate moniker.

Google's guidelines for code contributions calls for 2 spaces.
Some people are just too stupid to be allowed around computers.

Given all the hype about AJAX and Web 2.0, I'm surprised by the drop in JavaScript.
