Cause, you know, it was impossible before the iPod to let other people listen to your music. I would imagine this kind of stuff, along w/ going to people's houses to listen to their systems has been going on since the walkman.
Not only does the scouring of the shire have a good lesson, but it also is important to the overall development of the book. Here we get to see the characters of the hobbits fully developed, especially Merry and Pippin. No longer are they relatively weak hobbits that they were when the left the shire. Now, they are fully dressed in armor and command the respect of everyone around them. To me, this was my favorite part of the whole LoTR series, seeing how they developed and how they were ready to take care of themselves now.
The author of the article keeps talking about how OS X is derived from something called the NeXT Desktop. I have no idea what this is, and since "NeXT" is a common term, I couldn't find anything worth-while in my googling. Can anyone point me to some info about this? Or explain what it is?
I think that for OS X's gui expose will be really useful. However, in windows xp, the taskbar pretty much takes care of all my windowing needs for me. I usually work will all my apps maximized anyway so switching is as easy as finding the right button on the task bar. If something like expose was put in windows I don't think I would really use it.
I think that relating automobiles to software is somewhat of a poor relation. For instance, with cars you know that some of them will be in accidents. You can test the cars getting hit from all different directions and make sure that they are safe before they go into production. With software, however, it is nearly impossible to predict what new attacks people will come up with to break your software. Now, I'm not saying that security holes should be tolerated, or that you can't test for them to some extent; I'm just saying that its not like a car where you can test all the possibilities before it is released.
Now, I'm not in business or anything like that, but it would seem to me that a market research tool like this with 60 Million user participation would be worth much more than if they got rid of p2p and forced everyone to buy their music.
I wasn't talking about stereotypical, I was saying that isn't it possible for at least a small amount of people from those countries to at least look remotely similar? Sure they may not all look alike, but some must, at least.
"file sharers who promise to delete copyrighted material from their computers."
Would that include Windows as every other piece of software as well? How about having to delete copyrighted material owned by the companies that the RIAA represents that was obtained illegally?
" If this school generates graduates who understand how computers work, how informaiton is used & flows, how to apply technology to real world problems and sound project and diagnostic skills plus the usual math/reading/writing/social studies, this is great.
This is high school we are talking about, and as someone who just recently graduated from high school I can say that about 90% of the students were not capable of graduating with such skills. They could barely handle the math/reading/writing/social studies aspect. It seems to me that most high school students concentrate on where they can get their next beer, drug, or sexual relation at, not school work.
Technically, couldn't people who live in Scandinavia Russia or France look the same but only have differences of language and culture? I mean most pure Easter Europeans do have similar physical attributes just like people from other regions of the globe.
as far as patching goes, it looks like companies now have two choices. either they install the patch in a timely fashion (without testing if they have to) or they wait around until the virus hits which pretty much forces them to install the patch. perhaps its time that companies revise their patch policies and trust that they will just work. you might be thinking that you can't trust ms's patches, but then what I would say is why are you running windows in the first place if you can't trust ms?
i think, that the internet is not about to die but that it is the future of computation. just looking at the market today can support this. look at things like.NET, the popularity of *nixes (systems designed from the groud up for multiuser networked environments), and upcoming web services. all of these things show that the internet is only bound to grow and become more powerful in its future rather than die.
well as far as informing users, that is not ms's job, that is the users. linux has a great community but everything I know about linux I learned through my own motivation and work, no one educated me. if linux had 95% of the home desktop market you would find just as many uninformed linux users as you find windows ones now.
i could say almost the same things. i run xp and have never had any problems. of course I use a virus scanner and a linksys firewall. what I think really makes windows insecure are the users. how many linux users don't have a firewall? not many I would imagine. now say that someone who didn't know linux bought a linux box and just connected it to the net for email. I bet it would be hacked quickly. sure xp has design problems but the worst problem is uninformed users.
let me start off by saying that i have just recently graduated from high school. having that said I don't think that the os that you learn on has anything to do with how computer savy you become. I remember the days when my dad showed me some dos commands to run my favorite games and I used packard bell navigator over windows 3.1. today I would consider my computer skills very much above average (well guess that is obvious considering what site this is) and almost all of them being self taught. while I would consider myself best with windows I can work all computers in general. I have installed linux and comped my own drivers with only help from help files. at school I used os x on apples to edit movies for class. I even teach my great aunt how to us os 8 on her old mac to send email even though I have never used that app myself. apparently having learned on windows has not affected my ability to pick up new systems. on another note, my high school had a mixed pc / mac network. the video editing la
Hi,
I own the intellectual property to the english language, so everyone here owes me a lot of money. Since I'm a nice guy, I'll let everyone slide and all the English speaking people in the world can just sent me $1. Is that so bad? One dollar and you can sleep soundly at night knowing that you speak English without violating anyones intellectual property.
Thanks
is the way they complain about money. I could see arguing that it is morally wrong or that it is illegal, but saying that a company that makes $50 million on a good movie on opening weekend doesn't have enough money to pay its workers because of p2p apps is just rediculus. If they really can't pay the lighting crew, maybe they should stop paying the "stars" $30 million a pop for a crappy job.
is if they had a small montly fee and allowed unlimited downloads. Paying for each song ends up being just as expensive as buying the CD, plus the stores that offer that now all have some type of DRM. I think that something like emusic.com but with the major record labels would be the best way to go, and it would be the only method I would consider using.

correlation doesn't imply causation.

In your case, you will have to put the settings to HL2 - Slide Show Edition.

this will work on older windows versions like 98 or 95.

Maybe these Netherlanders have never heard of cell phones?
actually it is released...i'm using it now!
