HuluDoesn't appear to work at all. I visited Hulu.com and only got a black screen with all videos. It's possible I didn't wait long enough for their player to load, but Youtube.com/xl comes up right away.
I've written two books and several film scripts in Word, all with one file per piece. It was also an easy way to take a mailing list of Literary Agents from a table on the web, drop it into Excel and then mail merge the entire thing into a letter template I wrote in Word, because yes, you do have to print things when you're submitting to most publishers.
It was never a nightmare and I never lost the whole thing in one fell swoop. Sounds like FUD.
While I'm not saying that TeX/LaTeX isn't a good way to go, writing a book in Word, applying styles and publishing all worked pretty seamlessly and effortlessly for me.
Time to have a global boston tea party and dump all the tea into the ocean. With roughly 2-3 billion less tea drinkers in the world, think of how many more searches we can do without impacting the environment! And think of those who drink multiple glasses. It's like a critical hit against tea/energy expense. Booyah! problem solved.
Or that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west and that cows are maximizing their exposure to the direction of the sun by standing so the widest angle of them is directly perpendicular to the location of the sun at the east or west.
I've noticed a few minor rendering differences in Firefox 3 from Firefox 2 in terms of positioning. Does anyone know if they made rendering 'improvements', or if these are bugs that need to be logged?
Now we just wait for the RIAA to start "suggesting" unprovoked searches of people who appear to be enjoying music too much. How long before the RIAA starts creating blue tooth viruses that seek out your iTunes library.

Did someone forget cows can have sex? If you're a cow, you have to be thinking, oh shit, this means I'm NEVER going to get any! Poor cows...growing up too fast these days (thanks hormones!!) and for what? Can't even get their cow freak on.
Anyone who goes into the store to trade in movies is going to quickly learn that the movies you get from the store come with the renewed burden of LATE FEES.
Yes. That's right. You started renting movies online because of the wonderful no-late-fee world of video rental and when you finally go back because they make it easy to return and get new movies, you find out it's just an excuse to trick you into new late fees.
The funny thing I experienced was, the guys in the store didn't even TELL me there were late fees until I'd completed my instore sign-up and I'd left the store, then went back to ask them if I could rent more than three movies. They told me no so I told them that I'd see it in a month or two and then - only then - did they tell me that the movies had to be back in a week or there'd be fees. I was like - what??? I quit renting from here because of that very thing. They said that it was a program to get people back into the stores, which translated for me to "get people back into the late fees".
Forget Total Access. Blockbuster online isn't bad, but with Netflix and the ability to download movies from the internet, I don't see a pleasant future for them.
A recent report estimates that there are more than 5,000 Web sites created and maintained by known international terrorist groups, including Al-Qaeda, the Iraqi insurgencies, and many home-grown terrorist cells in Europe.
We don't need nukes! We need some Wil Wheaton to reprise his role as Star Trek TNG's Wesley Crusher, then "...come off the main lead, split off at the force activator, then reversing power leads through the force activator, repulsor beam powers against Tsilokovsky..." err...the asteroid. At this point, everyone will remember that this idea sucked and we'll use that sucking power to pull the asteroid into the sun.
Billions saved and problem solved. All we need now is some sort of "suck converter"! Get on it NASA!
So, it looks like Bush has commuted Libby's prison sentence once the appeals court said he would have to be in prison during his appeal. As such, we now know it's ok to give up the identities of CIA operatives. If you remember, Cruise's whole mission was to protect the NOC list, a list of undercover CIA operatives...since releasing those names now comes with almost no consequence, we can assume that MI:I was basically completely unnecessary, leveling the foundation of the entire Mission Impossible series.
Does this mean that the Japanese are going to start paying attention to all the copyrighted anime, game shows, talk shows and dramas people have put on there?
Damn internationalization is going to ruin my interweb.:P
I own Brain Age and Lord of the Rings Online. The two games do different things for me. One keeps my mind fresh in the afternoon and reminds me to stop and take a break from work. It's a nice casual experience that is good for taking a little off time from work. The other is totally emersive experience that completely takes me out of my own life and let's me pretend to be an elf from Mirkwood, slay goblins and orcs and fulfill righteous quests. This would never work during the day because it's TOO engaging, but is great for after when my kid goes to bed and I need to unwind from the day and do something .
I don't see any need to homogenize all games because they all don't fit one scenario. Just like tools, different games are good for different scenarios.
They were. This will, in the end, be an educational experience. These children will learn how to construct a lawsuit based on "emotional distress" and learn to "sue up" to the school, school board, city, county and state.
Linux has its own strengths, and users should want it because of those strengths and not because it's a cheap copy of Windows
I think you could have stopped after "users should want it because". There's no reason why this guy should be telling us why we SHOULD want anything. It seems like what he's really trying to do is convince Microsoft that he's not trying to offer a cheap version of windows. If it was really about what customers want, he wouldn't be making the choice for us.
I found that lyrics sites are also one of the major causes of Spyware and malware. I spent hours hacking stuff out of my registry after thirty minutes of my wife searching for the words to "where the streets have no name".
Eventually I just started running cd loaded Metis when she wanted to surf the net. If she screwed that up, I could just reboot and load the OS from the CD again.
That's not a problem, that's a super power! If they could make these things from Kevlar, you put some in a guy, he gets shot and the wound scabs over with a bullet proof protective shell - finally realizing our dream of substantiating the "That which does not kill us, makes us stronger" cliche' we keep hearing about!
Most people don't ever need to transfer ID's from one state to another so the majority of the country is unaffected by this possible inconvenience. 90% of everyone I know has never left the state we were all born or grew up in.
The idea is to be able to track and identify anyone in the country from one database. The barrier isn't technological, it's sociological. Almost every place I've worked in the last 10 years has a database with more than 300 million records.
If the government was intelligent, they'd phase in new Social Security cards with whatever technology they want to use, then add a layer to the beauracracy you have to go through in order to get a birth certificate where the baby is given a SSN right then. Most people would see this as a SERVICE instead of a government agenda. They already have your SSN, why are they bothering with trying to give you another?

Wait, wouldn't making it so it ONLY works in Firefox and Chrome be 70-75% LESS market share?

Right, because Microsoft would benefit from people using computers less.

My taxes should be paying SOMEONE to take that site down.

No, you can't. They haven't in the last 15 years, why would they start now?

That's just ONE shop. There are probably a hundred of them that all sell to the retailer. 80k for one shop might not be that far from the truth.

Step 1: Put on my shoes.
Step 2: Walk downstairs to Starbucks.
Step 3: Order coffee and pay with my employee id card.
It doesn't get any better than that.
