My problem with RotS was that there were too many constraints in the story : "There has to be a black armor somewhere in there guys!!" "Oh yeah forgot" *plugs in darth vador scene", etc...
With the idea of using the star wars universe to do a completely new story, without the constraints of the new/old movies, i think there is much potential in there (read here all kind of potential : fun, money, etc)
Why would I type faster because i don't have to look at the keyboard? If you learn some standard touch typing methods, you wouldn't have to look at your keyboard anyway...
Buying a blank keyboard is just annoying if someone else than you tries to use your computer and can't manage to use your keyboard

Blank Keyboard

Are you sure the sympols ~ and | are at different places? Did you know that in all the Windows version ( I know nobody uses that pesky XP thingy, but anyway....) you can change your keyboard layout?
For exemple, i use the "Standard French Legacy" version everywhere i go. It allows me to know where all the accents are (which I use frequently). It doesn't matter where the little printing on the keyboard says the | is, i know that i have to press "right-alt (altcar)" + "button left of the number 1".
Are you saying ATARI is forgotten?
They are still leaders in the game domain! They own many little companies, and are still in the top 10, maybe even top 5 game producer in the world
Watch out what your're saying;-)
Yeah i agree. There are also some strage elements in the demos.
Firstly, you have two demonstrations. One worldwide to the left, and to the right a simulation of a network, with each nodes visible individually.
I ran the blaster simulation a couple of time, and (other than beeing surprised that this worldwide simulation only has 45,000 nodes instead of 100,000,00 like the other ones), saw some irregularities between the two simulations. The small network (on the right) always seems to get infected reallllly slower. In fact, the left one was 100% infected after 3 days... I don't know if 100% of the internet can actually be infected... And after 20 days, 100% of the internet was patched...
For the other simulations, the smaller one was ultra infected and the big simulation always cleaned up...
I know the network simulation is divided in four "companies" with different internet, firewalls and antiviruses settings, but its since we only have 1 global statistics page for the network, we cannot see easily if the "Internal Firewall" company (as listed in the helpfile) goes better than the other ones, except by looking at the picture
Microsoft is under 'attack' on all fronts, and either needs to inovate or die.
Isn't it like that for every company in this domain? I mean, there are a lot of them who just copy, but those who work well and make big bucks, usually its the law : Inovate or die
I know someone posted something about "If my company decided i can't view some sites because they think its... unacceptable, will I be able to see them through the Google Web Accelerator?"
Since during the time i installed it and tried it, the post just vanished in the sea of posts, i'll just answer here
Where I work, we already have a proxy to limit internet access. They do not allow web sites that start with IP addresses and other stranges limitations. Because of this, i can't even play my favorite webgames. I also thought that with the GWA, i could.
But since there is no way to use a... proxy of proxy, or 2 level of proxies, and there is no place in the GWA to set up an other proxy, i could not. I think the only way would be to contact the ITs here and tell them to use GWA!
So, if you're using a proxy at work, don't even think about the GWA, it useless
Did you even read the post? I cannot believe all you guys are saying : THIS GUY IS NUTS, he shows off or whatever
You can transfer IN-GAME CASH into REAL-WORLD CASH.
This means that the guy, will build up his virtual island, harvest food and minerals, build something in there, and sell out Land lots around 30k US$ each.
So NO he isn't a show off. He is a brilliant investor, who uses every means he has to transform 1$ into 10$.
any admin who sets production servers to be "automatically updated" deserves to be terminated with prejudice.
you test all patches before deployment.
All admins who have to use Windows Update on a wide scale deployement uses SUS (Software Update System), that automaticaly download all pactches on Windows Update Server, can deploy in on your server, but has the ability to choose the patches you want to deploy (test them)
Okay, first, have you ever read slashdot "slogan"? No? Well look slightly up... upper a bit, there : News for Nerd. Stuff that matters.
News!! Must I take a dictionnary and give you the definition of this word? If/. wasn't giving info about MS and only giving info regarding Linux, it wouldn't be news! It would be publicity, or propaganda!
And as much as I am concerned, MS hiring a tactical force to clean its code IS "Stuff that matters"
... that attempts to generate computer summaries of all of those news articles on different web sites. The project is called Newsblaster and the summaries are excellent
Is it relly possible that a computer created an excellent summary of a news article? All the computer generated articles I've read were almost unreadable... Just look at babelfish translation. Is that really english? Hope that NewsBlaster will be much better!
Slashdot Mirror
Why is it relevant that she is from Oregon? Would it have been different if she were from Illinois? Or New York?
Its not even true anymore if you search for "Adsense" or "google adsense" in google, you'll get the Google Adsense page.

They are not the starter in the "synthetic diamonds" area.
Just for information, Lifegems have been offering the service to create diamonds from the body of your dead family members and/or pets.
Also, just so you know, Synthethic diamonds are worth much less then their original fellows. They are easy to recognize by their flawlessness.
