well, as long as the first and last letters are there it doesn't matter what order the letters are in. May God help you if you introduce an extra "q" or "h" however...
Why is it that for a dot dot update (which I thought was for bug-fixes) some/all of my extensions are disabled by the browser due to version incompatibility? I ended up waiting two weeks after 1.0.1 came out before switching, since my preferred set of extensions refused to work.
As much as I like Mozilla and Firefox, they really need to learn how to gracefully handle bug-fix releases.
I must disagree. There are tons of legitimate uses of 302 status codes that shouldn't pay a price for someone else's abuse.
The best solution would probably involve some extra layer that would relate the page being directed to and the page doing the redirection are owned by the same entity. However, that isn't very reasonable right now (maybe if it were somehow integrated into a future version of HTTP?) as the only way to encourage people to use that scheme would be people who've been burned by the abuse.
There are a lot of differences between "the end" and "the ending". Everything ends. However, not everything has an ending. Let alone a satisfying one.
Videogames today are as much as a storytelling medium as anything, and an engaging story ought to have a satisfying ending. Halo 2 was (imo) fairly engaging (with all of it's politics and religious intrigue and whatnot) and when it was over it was more like playing 1942.
Partially due to the crappy ending I will not be purchasing the next Halo game. I will rent it and feel okay about blowing 4 bucks to see another "to be continued" crap screen rather than spending 50 to be jerked around.
The reason Apple isn't using FLAC is that the iPod's CPU couldn't do real-time decoding of FLAC. It's the same problem with OGG. The codecs are too good (compression-wise) to be used.
I doubt if this is still the case with newer generation iPods, but it was a reasonable decision to make up a new lossless format since older 'pods couldn't keep up.
The iPod Mini has a smaller dock than the regular iPod, though they use the same connector. However, I'm sure that Apple could come up with something, but I'm leaning towards no being the answer to "Was the Mac mini intended..."
As much as it bugs me too, look at the freaking character. Huge helmet with big-ass visor. Field of vision should be less than optimal (though I would argue that -100 degrees is WAY too small).
It allows your users to use fonts without needing an Admin to install them. When Sally Schmoe downloads 4 fonts (or brings them in from her home machine) she can put them in ~/Library/Fonts rather than bugging the admin to do it for her, which means she can install them at her leisure.
Google is making it easier for people to find those clips online. It's good for them to do this, as it makes those websites more useful. If you can't find information online, why bother putting it online in the first place?
I think the parent was simply speaking from the (quite common) point of view that computers are for little more than video games. Hence, any software package, platform, or tool is immediately viewed in comparison to gaming, and often judged in that respect.
and really hate the load times on the xbox. That alone has made Crash mode (my house's favorite on the predeceding game) not nearly as fun. The best part of the game is the revamped pursuit mode, now known as road rage.
There are a lot of little interface odditites too. You can't jump into another crash mode via the menu, you have to go backwards and it takes as long to choose to play as it does to actually play the mode.
That seems to be the same as saying "when the law is in place there is no need for police." I admit that I frequently break the speed limit, which I know is a law. Or are you trying to say something else?
I've decided that DRM makes a lot of sense, as of reading this article.
However, I realize that on the one hand, artists need to have some sort of say in how their work should be used. At the same time, DRM needs to be setup so that an artist can allow people to use their work, and that real fair use is allowed. There also needs to be a reasonable way for me as a consumer to license a work to use in a way that I want to. If I want to use a song in a slideshow, there ought to be a simple way I can do this that satisfies the artist.
Current DRM schemes don't seem to allow much more than a black-and-white do or don't allowance. While this doesn't quite cut it for today, that's not a good enough reason to dismiss the entire system.

I comfortably run Panther on my iBook 300Mhz with 128MB of RAM.
All I can do is web browse, email, and terminal, but that's all I want to do anyway.
Hear hear!

You probably would have been modded down if you hadn't referenced your karma.
/. that any time you mention your karma going down, you get modded up.
There's a trend on
Now, I'll probably get modded down for telling you this...

Take every feature from Tribes 2 (not that Tribes 2 did everything right, but the featureset was awesome).
Add the Halo engine.
Make a good campaign around it.
Provide a satisfying ending.
What's up flamebait?

Is that a home theater in your pocket, or are you happy to see me?

Than you've probably never used Kerberos much, have you?
Kerberized apps are quite nice. I'm still waiting for a "real" kerberos plugin for Firefox.
Finally, the convergence of the actual ST universe and that heaping pile of fan fiction!
I can't wait for the flame wars to begin in the name of creative control.
The powers that be should do this just to see what would happen. I'm sure it'll be as entertaining as any television show could be...
Now I need a way to patent this...
And if she doesn't dump you, THEN propose for real! It can't fail.

Very nice in my opinion.
Take-Two could make Nike brand dream teams similar to the commerical where Michael Vick completes a touchdown pass to Terell Owens.

Symlinks provide a simple way to overcome the huge path problem. Just put a symlink to /somepath and put /somepath in your $PATH.
Yours is a woefully underrated post.
