This is entirely your own fault. USA have screwed over a lot of nations and making life har in others. One year you help and arm the muslims, the other one you withdraw your support and watch them die.
Just look at the whichunt for communism. You can do whatever you want in your country, but that wasn't enough. You simply felt the urge to stop the spread of an ideology that didn't suit you, and did this by killing countless people around the world. This also happened in countries where the ideologies worked and people actually had chosen them. You supported the murderous contras, red khemers and other death squads around the world.
When you inflict so much suffering, is it so strange that people strike back?
Currently USA tries to enforce the acceptance of genetically manipulated food in the EU. The majority don't want your gm crops, but you simply cannot accept that, so you force the issue. And no, we cannot make the consumer choise of not bying it, because one of the things the US trade oppose is the special labeling of gm foodstuff.
To top this of you go and kill a couple of hundred thousand innocent civilians in Irak and support the state-terrorism currently occuring in Israel.
Get a fucking clue: what goes around comes around. I as everybody else am apalled by what the terrorist do, but i am also apalled of the actions the US takes and has taken historically.
You need to se the coneqences of your own actions. By electing Bush and continuing with the current policies you only make matters worse. This is not something you can solve with brute force, you need some brains.
If I really streach it I can understand nice wooden details inside cars, but you guys even put it externaly. Veneer is butt-ugly when applied to the wrong stuff, like computer cases or cars.
So just to drive in the finer points of the answer to her question, we do it to her again. I'm sure she's likes it even better the second time around...
Sure, welding the hood shut is a very provocative step, and the majority of the comments are about "stopping on a highway" etc. You think you can fix engine problems on new, modern cars yourself? Think again.
I have many times over stripped my 90' volvo 245 EEC engine, and that I can fix, but my motherns new Renault? No way. Don't even know where to start. Modern car engines are extremly complicated and compact, and they contain a LOT of stuff that wasn't there on your ol' chevy. You might know the error, but you even can't find/reach the component!
You actually do need specialist help to fix you'r car these days, or at least you need a extra trailer with equipment and tools. I doubt the majority of the people who talk about the "stranded on the side of a highway" actually have ever tried to fix something on a car built this millenium.
In some twisted way this allways comes as a suprise to me, but you actually don't have a clue what's on stake here do you?
The enviro-hippies have gotten to you.
No, i just had a brush with reality. Maybe you should take a look at it instead of Bush's "enviomental" policy.
Jeez, who cares. It's his money to spend. If he wants to put 200kW of heating elements in his yard so people admire the pretty red glow, that's his perogative; he's the one paying for the power.
Is this a joke, or are you so narrow-minded that you only se $$$ in all this? There is a bigger picture you know, end when the shit hits the fan you actually can't just hand over some cash and restet the environment. Some day we have face the consequences of our actions.
I'm so tired of all this "reduce reuse recycle" propoganda crap.
I could not care less if you don't want to listen to the truth or not, as long as you act responsibly. There a many levels between stoneage and this waste, and one of them is NEED. You don't NEED to artificially flambe your house to live in relative comfort! There is no need to take to the extrems in either direction.
be my guest but stop dictating what others can and cannot do
No, I will not since this affects me and my children etc. Just use common sense... if you have any. They do have some form of education where you live right?
I can't belive that you consider this to be cool when we live in a world where global warming is a clear and present danger and conservation of energy and resources is essential.
This is just a display of total disrespect of the ecology and environment. Only in America.
Since I am from Sweden I can tell you that this was exactly the case here. Microsoft has a trademark on "Windows", since it is not considered to be a generic word. Simple as that.
And while I'm at it, if we step outside Trademark law and the courts and consider the name Lindows for what it actually is, there can be only one reason for why that perticular name came to be. Morally Microsoft is actually right in this case.
People/organizations having trouble with spam can send money to increase the bounty on spammers. All we have to do then is wait for someone to "fix" the problem and cash the bounty.
The first thing you need to do is not use IE on windows. That one is NOT standards-compliant. Simple things work well, but when you start scratching the surface, it tends to crumble.
I allways start designs based on w3c standards and then end up making browser-detection hacks for IE. It's a real shame.
So, all that is left for Microsoft is G W Bush. PLEASE take him onto your board after he gets expelled from office! If there is something that can topple the evil empire, it sure is GWB.
Just look at how popular US is in the rest of the world now!
True, true... Accidentally closed the window and tried to reload 10 after first req. It's gone!
Damn Microsoft - always taking the fun out of things...

In what way do people work with computers today? Most professional users work in some kind of project or process based environment. Why not start here and really make a difference? I'm not talking about collaborative tools a la exchange, but a total system overhaul geared towards project/role based computing?
None of the components may be innovative or unique in their own way, but combined in the right way it could really change the way we think about and use computers.
I would love to se things like:
New GOOD security model based on projects/workgroups.
Function based application selection
Component based applications
Automagic collaboration and sharing between users (zeroconf++?)
Integrated status management
I probably left out the most important ones, but I have a severe headake at the moment. Hopfully you at least understand in which direction I'm going. You can argue that some of these things allready exist, but ask yourself: Is it good enogh? Is it optimal? Can Joe User benefit?
The changes needed to realize this go way beyond mere GUI pardigram remodelling and new, fancy buttons and animated paperclips. This is about Interaction design and basic usability.
This would be a huge undertaking, but what could the OpenSource community gain? Uniqness? USP? Respect? Users? Inroad to the desktop corporate world? I have no idea.
Besides naming your variables meaningfully I have an additional suggestion. I allways (when applicable) add a prefix to my variables that identifies the type. Name then becomes sName.
s - String
i - Integer
f - Float
r - Reference
a - Array
etc...
I know this does not work for everybody, but for me this has done wonders when it comes to understanding my own stuff a couple of months later.
Slashdot Mirror
Can someone please shead some light over the AltiVec part ocf the article?
Why would Intel even consider supporting AltiVec in a compiler for x86? This just sounds bizarr, considering altivec only exists in the PPC world...
Maby they really mean compiler-level conversion of AltiVec calls to SSE calls?
This is a straight carbon-copy of a system that a Swedish ISP launched a couple of months ago.
The campaign goes under the name "Make Love Not Spam", and you can find it here.

True, but they are probably referring to the DRM technology in QuickTime, not AAC itself. That one Apple probably could License.

Can only agree with you. Let's start a company named Wotorola and see what happends!

Forget the blacklists. We need a bounty-list.
People/organizations having trouble with spam can send money to increase the bounty on spammers. All we have to do then is wait for someone to "fix" the problem and cash the bounty.
Why not just plain Pussy? :)

That's where the "if applicable" part kicks in. That basically means that "do not use this scheme if you know it wont work".
