The only way Microsoft has ever really "competed" was to simply buy the competitor. Maybe he's alluding to plans to purchase a controlling share in Google! MSGoogle -- I hope they don't mess with the culture.
I should've known! The emir of Pakistan just wired me 80 billion dollars too... oh well, I'm sure it will still get here once the connection is restored.
5. Mac's are hard to program on. 4. Google doesn't want their stock price to go down from the excess cost of purchasing mac hardware to test on. 3. Mac users don't need directions, they use echo-location like dolphins do. 2. Windows users DO need directions, for obvious reasons. 1. Mac users know how to 'look out' for Windows! WAAA HA HA!
You mean like how Metallica wants to stop you from stealing their CD's? I guess if it's a "cool" cartoon, it's bad to rip it off, but if it's an "evil" CD, then it's OK to rip off. I hope this article helps people see why copyright issues are so complex -- you just can't treat one media differently from the other. Many hours of labor are involved in the initial creation of ANY product, and the people who put in those hours deserve just compensation and equal protection under the law.
As a point of reference, after the fees they tell you about, Lawn seats to see Coldplay are $42 EACH. Real seats push $90. Now tell me how the hell they need to be charging that kind of money.
Internet Explorer rinses and uses paper towels in the bathroom. Netscape washes thoroughly and uses the automatic air dryer. Firefox doesn't piss on its hands.
When am I going to get tabbed windows in explorer? It would be great to actually dock a word window into an IE window or what have you, instead of relying only on the tab bar at the bottom of the screen, which is retarded in scalability beyond about 5 buttons/tabs.
A lightsabre is a light sabre. Sabre meaning blade. I would assume that the best answer, which has been given before, is that one could create a working light sabre with a telescopic glowing blade or sharpened antenna. a fixed-length laser of that strength isn't feasible without having it go farther than 3 feet, but if one day that ever happened, sign me up, i want one.
If you just get one link from a "trusted" site to some really un-trusted site, then POW! Down goes Frasier! I guess we'll know when that happens, because the top Google news stories will be teenage sluts, casinos, and cialis.
Why not something realistic, like shaving his head or swimming say, the English Channel? That's only a tens of miles and yet swimming in the ocean (away from the shore) is SO hard that people die trying to swim just that far. No one can or will ever swim the Atlantic without major help from medicine or technology.
This seems really out of character for Linus, I suspect that someone in his position practically lists his job title as "reverse engineer". I bet he was pressured by someone(s) to drop bitkeeper and he's pitching a fit as a sign to all of us that something totally crappy happened.
Imagine wading through all the "PATENT 2,234,654" statements on a page like ibm.com, msn.com or amazon.com, where the company owns a patent on practically everything you're looking at... doesn't sound practical at all. Maybe it would be faster to have a link with a list of patented items, or something like that.
Hopefully we'll see some integrated flash/illustrator products -- or at least, standardizing the commands/menus so that if you can operate one, it's easier to operate the other.
IMHO, you're almost correct: everyone that wants an IPod has one, and the people that don't are less than thrilled about the device, and/or are happy with CD's, don't have $200-$400 in disposable income, etc.
The only TLD that even makes sense to add at this point is to add.phd,.mba,etc. for accredited university graduates. And where the hell is the.adult or.sex to pass off all the adult sites onto? You could just require that adult content has a.adult extension and then censor the hell out of.com, and no one could really complain, since free speech would still abound over at.adult, or whatever.
You could finally have more than one sensor in between frets on a guitar, so that MIDI pitch bends and such sound realistic. You'd have to wear a shiny glove to play it, but that could be cool, so long as it's not sequened. Of course, I officially copyright this idea as of..... now.
Any chance we could get a 1-2 line summary of what the "debacle" is exactly? The summary above is practically just a link... it doesnt' really help anyone understand w/o a reading of several materials.
If you lease, you pay less now. If you purchase, you potentially pay less later. However, there are complications on your taxes for either (depreciation vs. amortization, lease payment costs, etc.) In General, I would expect purchasing to be a better deal unless you are expecting to have high turnover of machines and volatility of business (i.e. contract job only requiring machines for 12 months = definitely lease!)
I was just in Dayton last weekend, and it is TINY. If the entire downtown area (i.e. the tall buildings, tall being quite relative in this case) was bigger than 1 square mile, it'd be news to me. The actual Dayton city limits are pretty big because there are no mountains in the way, like in other places. Dayton is a city, but it's still pretty much "the sticks"... now if Cincinnati, Cleveland, or Columbus (Ohio) got city-wide wifi, that would be a much bigger deal.
I understand the reason for fixing it to have a record of what dot went where for restoration into the future, but I wonder if they isolated out each thread's color so that people can experiment by replacing the "red" threads with a given new "red" and stuff like that without having to mess with the original. You more or less have to use the real thing if their image doesn't allow this, which would be a total waste in terms of usefulness to art historians.
The Book of Kells is illuminated onto parchment and it's more than 1200 years old, and I can testify from having seen it first-hand, it looks practically brand new. The colors are strikingly vivid and the text incredibly crisp. I think that it is a testament to the extent that the longevity of a given medium can be extended, given proper or excellent care.
As an MFA candidate, I am qualified to make the above aesthetic observations in the stated objective manner.

Note: i meant straight across, not taking breaks... if you "take a break" in the ocean for a few hours, without help, you'd most certainly drown.

"sales in a slump? Got some free time at work? Cull your product tag-lines onto /. and profit! The editors no longer care!"
/. and a story because I updated my art website this morning.
Since everyone's just shamelessly plugging stuff, maybe I can get an "art" category on

It's not that they're not delivered on time, it's that their time estimates are underestimated. Badly.
