    You mean, can it topple Duke Nukem Forever as the #1 vaporware item for this year, and the year before, and the year before... and so on...

  2. Re:Useless interface design on When Appliances Revolt · · Score: 1

    I couldn't agree more.
    The same thing happens with airplanes themselves.
    At first the planes had analog dials (with number around them).
    In some new design, they changed the dial into a digital counter.

    Practically ALL the pilots got mad because they now have to read and understand the exact numbers instead of reflexivly re-act to a dial. A dial pointing somewhere is much easier to glance at and understand than specific numbers...

    I'm not sure about it, but I think the interface returned to analog dials...

    For example, you have an image with a larger resolution than your screen. You'd load photoshop for that?

    Sorry for these questions, but it just seems weird.

    They are happy with what comes with their computer because they don't need to choose between several options....

    Btw, Do you load up Mozilla every time you wish to view images on your PC? Isn't that a bit of an overkill? Also, can you browse/navigate images in it? Zoom in out?

    Oh man.. I don't know what people find in that, it's just too uncontrolled for me. I prefer the simple mouse-wheel / pgup-pgdn scrolling anyday.

    XP has a built-in zip functionality? Didn't know that......

    I know XP has a built-in image viewer, yet most people prefer downloading ACDSee instead.

    XP has MSN Msngr in it. Yet people prefer ICQ.

    On that note, there already exists a Linux for 64bit.

    Don't forget what moore's law says. It says the density of transistors doubles, not strictly the performance.

    Well, they didn't take over the "Game Browser" industry, while that WAS the original purpose of GameSpy...

    The All Seeing Eye is by far a superior system and is gaining popularity all the time.

    Well, it comes from the same rule that says 2+2=5 for large values of 2.

    When you become an outlaw, anyone can kill you without becoming one. Therefore it's most likely the first robber will lose.

  14. Re:Reminds me of that commercial... on A Much Bigger Piece Of Pi · · Score: 1

    Don't wanna be redundant, but Pi was proven to be not rational... any finite sequence of numbers is rational... (the digits after the zero divided by the 10^(num of digits)... like 0.44 = 44/100)

  15. Re:The 1.24th trillion digit of pi is .. on A Much Bigger Piece Of Pi · · Score: 2

    Actually, in 1.24 trillion digits, it's a pretty good assumption that every sequence of numbers up to 5-6 digits appears in it...

  16. Re:What about single side lacing? on Mathematics Unravels Optimum Way To Lace Shoes · · Score: 2

    You circle with the leftover around your leg (NOT THE SHOE!) and then you put it under the rubber bands that close the lower part of the pants.

    Also, you can turn the sock on it to make it really strong.

  17. What about single side lacing? on Mathematics Unravels Optimum Way To Lace Shoes · · Score: 5, Informative

    Where I live, in the army, you lace by first knotting one side of the lace to the first eyehole and then make an above connection to the eyehole on the other side (from outside), then you go up one eyehole, and then go again to the other side... eventually leaving you with only one side of the lace to tie somewhere... After it's done, you see only horizantal laces, all the vertical ones are below. That way it is easier to cut the laces if you get injured.

    Also, needing only to use one lace makes lacing up and down faster, tho you need to get used to the fact that for each level of eyehole you need to lace in the opposite direction.

    Something like this:

    *-o
    o-o
    o-o
    o-o
    o-o
    /

    Where * is the knotted side and / is the leftover, coming from under the eyehole.

  18. Re:An OS for my grandmother on "Longhorn" Alpha Preview · · Score: 2

    Ya... I meant it to sound like the common saying...

    In general, I think software should have "simple mode" and "advanced mode" so both the grandmothers can use it and the uber-1337-geek-d00d can use it too :)

    I have an XP box over a year now, and it has only locked up on me ONCE.

    I also have a Linux box, the OS itself never crashed on me, tho I must admit KDE crashes alot.

    Is there a possible way to make a message be decrypted in two different ways with two different keys?

    Read: Can I encrypt two messages into one, and with two different keys, one when used reveals MessageA and the other when used reveals MessageB?

    That way, you can encrypt your message and include some spam in the other message, encrypt them both to one file, and give them your "spam" key. Thus, you give up your password to be legal and it doesn't help them with nothing :)
