I currently have 24 windows open.
2 Source Safe
2 mstscs
2 text editors
vmware console
2 Im windows (one client one for chat tabbed)
firefox (11 tabs)
6 ie6 windows
2 windows explorer windows
2 for outlook
2 ftp clients
1 Visual studio
1 command prompt
And i'm not doing that much at the moment..it often gets up to over 35.
The reason I laugh is the coniditon of this comming into being is the Labor party being elected. Considering they have been out of power for the past 10 years and in that time have not presented a single decent leadership team and barely any decent policies I'm not overly worried about them getting back in any time soon, I don't like the current government but I really doubt the labor party will win any federal election in the near future.
Having said that I 100% disagree with the government wanting to censor anything and I would rather see my tax payer dollars spent on important things and not this drivel. If parents are concerned about their children looking at porn they should monitor their childrens use of the computer, buy filtering software/service and take some responsibility, easier said than done I know but its not impossible.
If such a system does eventuate it should certainly be opt-in so only those that actually want it are subjected to it.
Indeed in kotor a Vibroblade is able to parry a lightsabre but at the same time the game has little damage modeling otherwise there would be limbs everywhere.
The performance of the client has improved, with a new combat engine and lots of other work on the client. My frame rate has improved a fair bit since launch.
The greyed out hotkey button issue has been fixed since febuary or so.
They have done alot of work to improve the game since you played it seems and people who post about a young mmo with only experiencing the initial month should refrain from posting on the subject until they get up to date info
If the first point of contact can not override business hours then the security people are Unavailable even if they are physically there working they are still Unavailable
.
The CSR should have recorded details to forward into the security people and let the caller know they were doing it.
Then the security people could have done their thing
If you were calling them outside business hours its no surprise they were unresponsive. I'm not saying that I condone their handling of it they should jump on it in an instant however if their security people are not available chances are there is no one there with the knowledge to help.
I agre thee GL has in the past pushed the envelope when it comes to CGI in moves how ever CGI is meant to be eye candy there should be a really plot the interaction between the characters involved should come before the CGI.
If someone else wrote the dialogue and/or the script this movie would have a chance of not sucking how ever unless george has learnt from his past 2 mistakes (ep I & II) I fear the movie will be dreadful.
Use real sets, use less special effects or more subtle special effects. It really detracts from a film when it is really obvious that something was done on a blue screen it disrupts the immersion if you notice it.
I personally use alot of sites and forums, I think a system with one central username/password that allowed a seperate profile on any participating sites would be extremely useful.
This ofcourse would be nice if it was a open standard and not proprietry, with interfaces defined in multiple programming langagues. That was easy to impliment and highly secure (hah pipedream).
For something that allowed me to authenticate to all the sites I use with a single login I would even be willing to pay a fee (within reason)
I personally think its about time something like this happened why has it been permitted to go on so long everyone involved in computers knows that 1gb = 1024mb not 1000mb that is everyone except ISP's and HD makers.
I want my extra few gb on my hdd and extra hundred mb download allowance
This is another vote for hudson hawk I have enjoyed this move how ever many times i have seen it.
the matrix and fight club are both great, although I don't know if i would call them underappreciated.
I would also like to mention frequency, i thought it was a great movie but most people i know haven't heard of it
Congrats Andrew
Was the award only for samba or was it also for all work he completed as part of the samba team?
After reading this forum not logged in, I can see I have my threshold said to +2, damn there are some idiots on slashdot
I used the bat at one stage, i quite liked it although this was two years ago, back then it did everything I needed (read pop3/filter to folders) and it wasn't bloated.
These days since leaving windows behind for productive stuff (only used for games). I use sylpheed for email now. I like it with a few exceptions, only being able to filter on 2 things as opposed to lots.
as for eudora *shudders* from my experience its pretty damn evil.
When I started my course at TAFE it was all old hat and very boring, unfortnatley I was too lazy to do anything about it, how ever i could have.
I would recommend leaving them for 2 or so weeks, if they are still bored after that give them a weeks worth of work from the grade up, if they can handle that keep giving them that work.
Alternately you could just assign additional more complicated work for these students to complete, just make sure its recorded that they have done it.

Until the extended edition of the last movie comes out I won't be doing a marathon. Once it is out however I shall partake in the fun

I agree a standard gui api is required, this is what freedesktop.org are trying to do (amongst other things)
