In the UK, the Natwest Bank has run an effective advertising campaign touting advantages such as "Phone your local brach and talk to a real human being!".
The adverts have been jokey in nature, but scathing to their competitors at the same time.
Actually, I found the article informative and balanced. I don't think it was biased at all.
Isn't another option for Cisco/Broadcom to remove all the GPL'd code from their product? They could switch to a BSD kernel and everybody would be happy!
"Plus, I'm almost 100% sure that Windows will allow you to position the extra desktop space above your existing monitor. All it is is a matter of click-n-drag on the new monitor in the 'settings' tab of the Display Preferences, if memory serves me."
That's correct. It's quite a fun trick to pull on any non-tecchies in your office that have dual head setups;)
I have a coding monitor, an 'everything else' monitor, and a swivel chair. Because of the chair, my body points towards whatever monitor I'm primarily working on. My keyboard is pointed at the left hand monitor.
I found that I ended up doing most of my typing on the left hand monitor, and doing other stuff (test-runs, www, email) with the right monitor. I noticed this was happening about 3 weeks after getting the second monitor. I think this is probably due to having the keyboard to the left of the mouse; your keyboard points at one monitor and the mouse points at the other.
I find that just shifting my body to focus on one monitor and then the other stops me being fixed in exactly the same position for long, which has got to be a good thing.
If you really want to reduce neck and back strain, place your keyboard so that the g key is directly right in front of you. What most people do is to have the center of the physical keyboard (the l key) in front of them. This means they're constantly typing slightly to the left of directly in front of them.
I come home from work to find my front door open and some teenager in my living room. He proceeds to tell me how poor the lock was in my front door, how to install a better lock, and by the way, he racked up $100 of calls while I was away.
You who's at fault, and you know I'd kick his ass.

You might be able to calculate the speed of a swallow, but the velocity is something different.
Err, "WARNING, GOATSE LINK ABOVE" or something!

This is the self preservation society.
Yeah, normal people know how to use it.

That comment just sums up such a huge percentage of the slashdot readership.
That's correct. ;)

... and everybody thought they were the only ones to stop the tape and just play the loading game.
I am stupid. Oops.
Amazon's Jeff Bezos, who saw his fortune expand by more than $3B to $5.1B, was the top gainer on the list.
Err, you do the math.
I was reading that fine until I got to the "is" where they meant to put "are". Then my eye tripped up and I had to read the setence again.
This shows two things. Firstly, the process works. Secondly, I'm a grammar nazi.
Maybe I should just RTFA.

.... small penis joke.
Note the shape of the table. From the aibo's point of view, it's staring at a wall. If you have a table with regular legs it won't have a chance.
Also note how long it takes to pick up the toy (and the surrounding area is completely empty). Cute the first time, I guess.
To be honest I don't really know what we were expecting it to do.
Lol, pity about the Offtopic!
Ooh, another one! ;)
We're slowly taking over the world!
