By "real mac users", you must mean "people who don't really use computers much". A huge problem with Safari was, up until recently, its inability to use any of the WYSIWYG text editors out there (e.g. FCK Editor, TinyMCE). Safari is the only browser which doesn't support this stuff yet. That's been corrected in 2.0, but you still have bizarre problems like, for example, viewing this web page will crash Safari because it chokes on the images. Firefox displays it just fine.
Prof. Van Allen team designed the Geiger counter that flew aboard Americas first orbiting satellite, Explorer 1. It detected unexpectedly intense levels of radiation caused by energetic particles trapped in the Earth magnetic field, the magnetosphere.
Unfortunately for astronauts Reed Richards, Susan Richards, Ben Grimm, and Johnny Storm, NASA hadn't thought to send up an unmanned probe first.
How can you miss something that we never receive in the first place? Public school in this country is little more than state-sponsored daycare these days.
So, yes, I'd have to weigh in with everyone else, it's snakeoil. Basically, any product designed entirely by a marketting group is going to be snakeoil, and this definitely was.
Everyone knows the internets is a series of tubes. Well, this card hurls your data through the tubes with such force that it can't possibly get stuck.
Make sure not to point the jack at anyone. You'll shoot someone's eye out.
"The Doomsday Book"!!...oh. Domesday. Some old British survey book? Bo-ring.
Yeah, the Doomsday book was way cooler because Superman got killed. And then there was like an evil robot Superman, some questionable cloning activity, and Shaquille O'Neil in a technologically-advanced suit of armor.
The case is the first piracy lawsuit brought against a distributor of file-sharing software since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled last year that technology companies could be sued for copyright infringement on the grounds that they encouraged customers to steal music and movies over the Internet.
Maybe next, they can arrest me for trespassing, because I'm encouraging all you to go stand on your neighbors' lawns without permission.
An international treaty is considered law here, but that does not mean it is immune from constitutional questions. This treaty must be balanced with the bill of rights
"Fish, corals and marine mammals are dying while algae, bacteria and jellyfish are growing unchecked."
How that is de-evolution?
It's not de-evolution. In this case, the less complex organisms work best in that environment. So, really, it's survival of the most-fit. Wait... I've heard that somewhere before...
Who knows, maybe Mr. Dell will finally get the message, too?
Dell understands that the hardware business is a commodity business. There's two ways to make money in a commodity business; a. volume, and b. premium marketing
They've mostly maxed out the profit-through-volume business model, so perhaps it would be a good time for them to start positioning certain products in the 'premium' space. Linux enthusiasts are willing to pay more for a product that caters to their tastes. Case in point: the WRT54G-L router from Linksys.
Beyond the XMLHTTP Request object, which has been around for several years as a solution looking for a problem, there is nothing weird needed. Basically, it is how the individual pieces are put together. When they're put together in one way, it is nothing more than a pile of parts; however, when put together in another way, the monster essentially rises from its slab.
But more importantly, one needs to remember that the internet is not a big truck, that you can dump information on. It's a series of tubes.
Now not only can citizens of impoverished countries starve due to gross mismanagement of funds by their governments (who are themselves living very well off of foreign aid intended for the citizens) but they can IM each other about who has more flies.
Not exactly. The number of flies in each location will stabilize, as the flies travel through the series of tubes that make up the internet. Don't get me wrong: the internet is not a truck. So don't even think that it is.
Google, Microsoft and Yahoo have banded together and created the Click Measurement Group, with the goal of creating a standard definition for a 'click'.
Maybe afterwards they can put their noggins together and standardize what the definition for "is" is.
Apparently the population of elephants has tripled in the last three months. That is quite impressive, as each female elephant gives birth to one child at a time (twins and beyond are very rare) and there is a 22 month pregnancy period.
I believe I read that same article. I learned that unique among mammals. elephants' legs are actually hollow, affording the opportunity for small creatures, such as mice, to hide inside without detection.
He even had the foresight to take along a video camera while rubbing elbows with some of what Brockmeier calls the 'leading minds in open source.' Caught on tape: Kernel developer Greg Kroah-Hartman, Python creator Guido van Rossum, Jeff Waugh of Canonical, Greg Lund-Chaix of OSL, and OSCAMP 2006 organizer Brandon Sanders.
That's great that he caught Guido van Rossum, but no video of Chris DiBona and Karl Fogel?
According to the report, there was a 33% reduction in the number of dings on the belly of the orbiter and an almost 50% reduction in the number of hits greater than one inch.
Clearly they didn't let the female astronaut make the return trip. I'm guessing they also didn't find any rubbermaid garbage cans crushed under the rear wheels, right?
Slashdot Mirror
The paper goes into some details about each program and their flaws and also provides some tips on how to protect your data.
Tip #1: Use a Palm OS device.
That is the one I was referring to. And it's not an obscure bug.

Ah, how I miss my public school education.

One of the original and most widely covered issues with the MacBook Pro was the mysterious "whining" noise.
That's weird. I thought that problem went away when you let the design department buy the macs in the first place?

Amongst other interesting facts, the BBC is reporting that the Book can still be used today in court for property disputes.
Finally I'll be able to settle my dispute with a neighbouring lord over these slaves I have. Peasants. I mean peasants, not slaves. Right.

Hmm. I see. You must be new here.
It might get some bad reputation for Firefox
I think that's exactly what a lot of people are concerned about. When you lie down with dogs, sometimes you end up with fleas.

As Firefox downloads pass the 200 million mark, people are talking about how its security features stack up against IE7 and protect against malware.
Protect against malware? They're bundling with it!

I think I've mentioned the phrase "I could hear the screams" on the SuperSite before.'
Yes, it's almost as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.
So what's the solution?
Kaspersky AntiVirus. It's a small enough company that the malware writers don't test against it.
Given that they're also reporting that 80% of viruses defeat Norton and the other big AV programs, I'd say yes, it is a joke.
Yeah, they should just link directly to the articles that Ars copies their content from.
