I believe that if you're not doing anything wrong then you shouldn't care if this company/goverment knows where you're going...
I mean, what use could they give to this information?
Privacy freaks look to me like if they want to do something wrong or illegal.
I even wouldn't mind having the same service back home. I rather give up some of my overrated "privacy" but be able to recover my car in case of theft, or being able to located in case of a kidnap, for instance.
Actually, if done responsibly, having this aggregate information of the driving habits of a population would help a lot in the future planning of transportation networks, etc...
I know my opinion sort of differs from the usual trend, but thats what I think.
I just tested it right now in my Mac OSX system (Mozilla 1.4) and I can't drag/drop bookmarks from the dropdown bookmark menu, I have to go into Manage Bookmarks. I'm pretty sure in my Windows box is the same, but can't try it right now.
Even though you can see IE's Favorites under a special folder under Moz's Bookmarks, I think the bookmark management could and should be much easier. In particular, I hate having to go to the 'Manage bookmarks' dialog to reorganize my stuff... it is so easy in IE, you can drag and drop directly from the Favorites tree.
I love Mozilla but I think this would be a great improvement.
I also agree that the service provided by Yahoo! Maps, Mapquest, and the like are not always perfect. However, I must say that I'm quite impressed by the overall quality of the results, especially if one takes into account the complexity of the problem.
Not only the result is relatively good, but it is also very quick to compute.
Does someone know what type of algorithm is used for finding the shortest route? Pardon my ignorance but I only know of Dijkstra-like algorithms for finding the shortest route in a weighted digraph, but I'm sure its impossible to use it for these purposes.
That's untrue. I've been using Mozilla 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 with Yahoo! all the time. Maps, News, Mail, Games, Travel, etc... all their services work with Mozilla without any problem at all.
So you don't waste your time as I did... after you download the Quicktime plugin oggvorbis.qtx, you must place it in c:\windows\system32\quicktime not in c:\program files\quicktime\plugins
I don't know about ripping but as far as playing is concerned, some time ago I found a Quicktime plugin that lets me play ogg files in my Mac iTunes.
I assume that the plugin is only for Mac but I suppose that it must not be very hard to compile a Windows binary. Soon, I'm pretty sure, somebody will write/port this Windows plugin.
Well, you have to remember that Polish is written in a very similar way as English, as it is an modification/extension of the Roman alphabet, whereas Hewbrew uses a completely differerent alphabet (which shouldn't be any problem if Unicode is used properly), and more important, is not written in the same direction (which can be a big problem to fix if you didn't think about this when coding your program).
IMHO, those big-sized PDA's have not and will not be successful because they are too big to be as convienient as a palm-sized PDA but too small to be enjoy the benefits of a notebook.
So, in the end, it doesn't matter which OS it'll use... people won't like it and won't buy it.
Another fascinating feature is the trans-siberian railroad, that connects Moscow to Vladivostok. You can see all the development and colonization that followed the construction of the railroad.
It depends how you save it... There's something called "PASTE SPECIAL" which let's you specify the format (JPG, PNG, etc) in which the image will be stored in the document.

K&R C book in Amazon $40 USD.
I bought that same book, (Spanish translation but same publisher) in Mexico City, new (and legal) for ~8 USD
Believe me they still make money... Dumping isn't necessary because there is no competition there.

A proposition that claims something in general is false if there exists a case in which the proposition is not valid.
A proposition is true or false, there's no fuzzy logic in this matter.

c:\windows\system32\quicktime
not in
c:\program files\quicktime\plugins
...this technology isn't what we would call cheap and obviously customers are paying for it through increased prices on their products.
Yes, it sounds geeky and cool, but I don't think its really useful. I prefer to save the money or spend it in buying more stuff.

I also run Derive every now and then... sometimes it is just faster than running Maple or Mathematica, and does simple jobs very well :)
At last! I will never run out of space with this HD :)
Have you seen the size of the device?

1^-1000000 = 1/1^1000000 = 1/1 = 1
He he he....
