Autopackage isn't quite integrated with the default package manager yet (per their website, http://autopackage.org/)
Once that happens I can see that being very likely.;)
Since we're also supposed to be considering alternative fuel sources, why not have some of those High School Chemistry classes have a focus on BioDiesel?:)
As covered on Groklaw, this is due to the fact that the Copyright Office is using an old version of Seibel CRM.
Opinion:
Of course, why they'd use some substandard MS-only piece of garbage is beyond me, but it's not because they were actively looking to cut out non-MS people...just someone suggested a crappy product and standardized on it.
I can tell you that while it WORKS, there is a LOT of Microsoft-specific crap that gets spit out into the web pages, especially with the designer.
You have to be very careful to clean that stuff out.
For example: Microsoft will let you happily think that you can just set the widths of tables and controls willy-nilly and it will all line up and look pretty.
Only in IE.
Other browsers tend to ignore control widths, because they can obscure text. For example, with drop-down lists, Mozilla makes the list long enough to hold the longest entry.
You can force them back to a specific width with CSS if you *really* want.:)
Headers in the Datagrid controls don't line up unless you do things like this. You end up having to change the controls to spit out spans (and turn off the BR tags) and make the HTML yourself it you want it clean and to pass W3C validation and look decent in other browsers.
This sounds really interesting. Can you post any more information on the subject?
It might be fun to have one of these around the house that's home-built (instead of buying one like College Students would.)
Stallman believes in 'free' software--and part of that belief states that a software license cannot dictate what someone DOES with the program.
The GPL reflects that belief.
The GPL is not a EULA because under GPL thinking there's no such thing as an End User. This is the part that many corporations (Microsoft included) still do not get.
All of it's Windows-based (this company drank the MS Kool-Aid), but all three platforms are basically equivalent.
The SQL servers are physically three different machines, but they're all clones of each other.
The web servers are either local machine running XP (Dev) or Web Farms running Win 2K3.
We have a transfer utility to facilitate moving the files back and forth, but it doesn't get everything. This is a mixed blessing, but it's handy when you DON'T want something to be pushed to one of the servers.
Generally that utility works only in one direction.
One exception: The business people work on QA. This means that sometimes we'll have to pull something down, but it does mean that they're discouraged from monkeying with the files directly on production.:)
Problem is, Lucas, is that you have more to fear than a zero day when you have a lot of bugs in a certain product...that go months before they are patched or even ACKNOWLEDGED by the vendor.
The network also presented TCA critics with "Girls Gone Wired," a digital beauty pageant featuring the hottest 2D and 3D women on the planet, which is set to premiere in May. Comedian, actor and avid gamer Hal Sparks, who currently stars on Showtime's hit series "Queer as Folk," is slated to host. Sparks, along with a panel of celebrity and industry commentators, will guide viewers in G4's quest to crown the hottest video game vixen. Finalists will be announced online and G4 viewers will vote for the pageant's top beauties.
My, your polygons are looking good today.
Sigh. G4 has done no justice to the Tech TV moniker over the years, so it's probably best to dump it. Really seems like the content's getting 'dumbed down' in order to pull a bigger audience in. Which is fine. They are a TV show, after all.

That was because it was either a watermark for a recipe for identify theft (name, address, credit card number, more) every 10th page.
Pick your battles, young padawan.

GNU Image Manipulation Program Simply acronym collision, nothing more.
I wonder if this is to counter FUD or if it's just another step in the Apple Product Cycle: http://www.misterbg.org/AppleProductCycle/
Upcoming Events: What features would you like in the of the MacIntel?
Doesn't example.com (example.net, example.org) also work for situations like this?

I bet I'm adblocking NetApplications' servers. It would surprise me if that's a non-trivial variable in the mix, though.

Nothing new.
Can you add copyright information to the above recipe? This looks interesting, but as you well know, GPL sits on top of copyright.
As as ASP.Net developer:

and no fan plugged into the System Fan on the mainboard. :)
(not that you'd want to. It tends to not be able to take a fan that draws a lot of power)
Well, that's another tooth pulled from the DMCA. Unfortunately the process of judicial review is slow...

That's XOR. Obviously you fit in the second category. ;)
And that patent is obvious to practitioners in the field...
Terry, your site looks horrific in Firefox.

So I guess the "RIMM JOB" is over and done with?
>:D
Someone's limiting your freedom! Call RMS! :)

Then why do it, exactly...could you explain that part to me again?
Of COURSE HP will make money off of regional coding for cartridges. Hollywood has done so for quite some time with its region coding for DVD.
This is nothing more than a simple grab for more cash.
Where I work we have Dev, QA, and Production.
