The prosecuter said that Linux was a (I'll translate and quote) "hacker operatingsystem that was used to bring other operatingsystems down." (end quote)
Wow! Now thats incompetance! Linux just works. If that'll bring Windows down I don't care. That's just market-law!:)
Quicktime is as we all know the most crappy videoformat ever. It compresses bad, regardless of computer and hardware, it still on my 2GHz Win2k box refuses to play smooth fullscreen.
It's bloated, and has a ugly player which you can't replace. Nobody likes Quicktime, except Mac-users it seems.
I really, really wished studios would stop usaing this foul format, as I really dont even bother watching trailers in Quicktime. Not even Lord of the rings - Two towers....
Maybe not entirely, but Word (in the GUI-versions) has stolen alot from WordPerfect.
Either you like them or not, the toolbars with shortcut-buttons in applications, was introduced as far as I know by Wordpercet 5.1 for Windows. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Microsoft has never done anything but cloning.
Am I the only one that thought that this wasn't particulary unque? Hell, Lynx has been doing it with text for ages and AvantGo (with "display tables" turned off) does exactly the same thing.
This is different. While Lynx just plainly ignores html-table-tags and replaces them with linebreaks, this Opera thingy is actually doing reformatting of the page, after a full analysis of the layout.
Even though I don't know how well this works, it seems like a extremely clever algoritm, and shouldn't be underestimated as simple table-dropping, which is actually a lack of standard features.
From the opera-quote:
"massaged," von Tetzchner says, "so that it can fit on the screen."
This implies more than mere table-dropping to me at least, and especially if you read the press release (no I will nothunt it down for you).
It's probably difficult for Microsoft to rule the mobile-marked because they can't seem to find a cellphone with 256 MB of DDR-RAM and a 1 GHz CPU.
Not to mention a physical-media like a harddrive for swapping when you are dialing long-distance numbers.
Imagine... Stan Lee's contract terms for Spiderman III: "5% of gross ticket sales and, oh yeah, %5 of gross ticket sales of Spiderman 1&2 you f%&#$!!!"
If I had modeation points I'd mod this Interesting. Because this can't be illegal, right? Or did he allready sign away the rights for the sequal(s) for "profit"percentage?
My father allways told me if I watched too much TV or used my computer too much my eyes would end up beeing squared. No mentioning of that in the article, so I guess he was wrong.
Does DDoSing their site violate their EULA? (-:
No really. With a *strict* EULA like that, wich no person with any sense at all would ever agree to, it really can't be accounted for as wasting their bandwidth or resources. More like saving potential customers the time it takes to read crap like this.
They're corporate *bastards*, not sysadmins. You think the webmaster wrote this?:)
The EULA prpbably phorbited you to check for robots.txt as well. Just linking the EULA was, according to the EULA, not allowed for anyone but aa, if I remember correctly.
So... What's the deal? You make it public. And say it's not for public use. Scizofrenic weirdos.
Ok. This is probably offtopic, flamebait or both. It wasn't ment as it though, but here goes.
As long as the sysadmin is so absolutely clueless it really doesn't matter wheter he uses IIS or Apache. But people like this are called IT-proffesionals you know. You know those guys with MSCE-certification and magic-'reboot or reinstallation fixes all'-powers and all:)
In the news-business it's allways about speed. Beeing the first one bringing the news. Getting authorised the rights to publish something thats allready on the web would seem like a waste of time in any case in this business.
If I found a page on the net, which seemed relevant to my news-page, I'd link it and not check if it's ok. It's allready on the web, right?
And anyone clueless enough to put sensitive documents accessable to the public should suffer the consequences. Maybe he'll learn.

Anyway, we, the Opera-users are the l33t elite. And stubborn fuckers as well :) But we know we're right, so it doesn't matter.
Simple procedure:
Right-click on buttonbar. Click the "Set my layout"-menu. And bingo! You can turn on/off all the buttons you like.
Right-clicking is so darn simple and intuitive that people really should have found out...
The briefcase was Microsofts attempt to conquer to archiving market as well. A competitor for zip-files if I remember correctly.
However they didn't seem to bother to force it on users like evrything else. Kinda unusual for Microsoft, I must say!
Wow! Now thats incompetance! Linux just works. If that'll bring Windows down I don't care. That's just market-law! :)
This is prolly to late to make a difference, but actually, that kind of nasty thing (a norwegian DMCA) does not exist. Thank god.
I imagine a manager wouldnt get that. Forcing all you IT-dept-slaves out there install it on every single box.
But hey. Look on the bright side. It's only one app to install on each box! You'll be done in no time, before quiting your job!

Seriously, you didn't, did you?

People did use Lynx back in the old days, even if the puters didn't have decent screens.
With all that pr0n surfing going on, who needs decency in hardware anyway :)
Try telling that to your GF/wife/whatever.
Also known as instant divorce (tm) by many speculators.
Why is this not modded up as Informative? Just because its a Win32-only tool?
Didnt bother to link, but I even think this was a slashdot-article once. Wouldn't suprise me the least!

From Intentia's homepage, as in -the- front page:

Did anyone say -security-? This is really hilariuosIn the news-business it's allways about speed. Beeing the first one bringing the news. Getting authorised the rights to publish something thats allready on the web would seem like a waste of time in any case in this business.

Actually... I didn't get it up and running as well. Some complaints from my java-engine :) But I really didnt try any hard, though.
But this is definetly a good idea! All honour to the makers!
Well.. It has possibilities though!
First... If you got a shitty job, you can put your brain in "autopilot"-mode, and watch television yourself while your at work.
This autopilot could ofcourse also be programmed to handle domestic problems... Now thats a use! (-:
