Oh well, I should know better than to take it personally. After all/. is more about how the comments can give a spin to the subject than that there is much debate about it.
In my defense: My native language is Dutch and I never really speak English, just read it on the 'net. I dare any native American without a specific education in languages to write the same text in Dutch without errors.
(I wondered why nobody bothered to put this on slashdot but now I can think of something)
So it's not important for MS to get attention for their products? I guess they don't care that their Zune was a flop either then. Are you suggesting they created it for flopping? If there's one reson they are in the business market, it's because they failed in consumer markets.
This has happend before with bank data from Germans at a foreign bank that were stolen by an employe and then sold to the German authorities. There was a lot of discussion but in the end the German gouvermant DID use the data.
Again, the same thing is about to happen in the Netherlands, with data from banks in other parts of Europe.
The Dutch tax department offers offenders a 'inkeerregeling': If you turn in the illegal foreign savings, you get a much lower fine than if you take your chances and wait for them to find them. If they ever will because it's not sure if this evidence will hold in Dutch court.
This inkeerregeling has turned out to be very successful so far
Now you can only hide it in the dock, then you could also roll it up to the bar anywhere on the screen.
In OS9, if you'd click on another folder, the active folder would retract back to the bottom of the screen automatically (if I remember correctly).
The label of the 'hidden' folder was a lot easier to hit then the icon in the dock, but then again, this has also to do with the fact that my screen resolution is quadrupled since.
Most right-handed people hold their phone in their left hand, because they use their right hand to dial. That requires more precision. After that you don't take it over to tour left hand because holding it to to your ear is easy, even with your left hand.
I'm not sure exactly what schools are meant by 'creative arts' but in the Netherlands - and I bet in most of the Western world - art school students with a degree are have a lot of trouble finding a job at all in arts. So 83% is a fantastic score, specially considering the economic being unstable etc.
What he means is that it just isn't realistic that only Toyotas have such problems. After Toyota made it public, suddenly other brand dared to do the same..
Sure, but you'd still need 16600 devices to use it to get 1 Watt of energy in place, of the 1000000 Watts you spend..
That's ridiculous, even if you don't give a hoot about the environment.
When Blender was finally ported to OS X, I gave it a try. The first thing I stumbled upon, was the lack of support for.eps or other '2D' postscript formats. To use a logo, I had to import it as a pixel image and trace it by hand.
How can it ever be a serious competitor without such basic functions?
Blender is a nice app, but it's no match for Maya. I tried both and I'm convinced that everyone who does will come to the same conclusion.
For example: Making a logo spin around in Blender is not much different from doing the same in other app's. Importing the postscript logo into Blender though, is simply *not* possible. Therefore, rotating a logo involves recreating it from scratch in Blender, which takes a lot of time and getting used to the Blender way of drawing...

So what? Photoshop was not the first pixel manipulator, not by far even.

I thought they ment the digital synthesizer from Yamaha..
The dock is nice but I'd still trade it in any time for it's predecessor, the hide-up-to-the-label / pop-up-again type of folders of OS 9.

Agreed, except I'd expect most of them to at least try to find a job that matches their education for half a year to a year.

Pre-Mac OS X did have such an option, although IT didn't cover parental settings. That problem was not as much in the picture back then.
Alfred Nobel 'Price' was killed while using his own invention (dynamite). So you would be the first. Harry Potter is a fiction, remember?
Makes you wonder why there's a R&D in the middle of Nowhere
While you're at it, test how porn proof it is. Hand it over to anyone that happens to be around and ask him/her to find any sexual explicit content.
Great cultural and sexual combined joke 'B)
It strikes me that such enterprises always start in Western Europe and end in the Far East. Anybody have an idea why it's not the other way around?

If you think Germans are a pain, wait until you share a ski resort with a group of East-Europeans. Seriously, ask anybody who's been to Austria.

[...] 6 microwatts from a 1.0-megawatt TV antenna [...] Wow, how's that for an environmentally unfriendly record?
How many iPhone owners will give it to their 2-year old to play with, do you think?
