Ikea just seems like one hell of a nice company. I don't know why! Cheap and well designed furniture? Good marketing? Other good-will things like donating money to rainforest regrowth projects?
Well, of course I like their stuff. High quality furniture at a reasonable price. Plus, you get to put the things together yourself, which is pretty fun. But other companies make nice products, and that alone doesn't make them as nice as Ikea. No, I don't have an answer, I just really like Ikea.
Ikea has loads of products for organizing stuff. It is however a bit dangerous to go there since you always buy so much stuff!
Perhaps it's because I'm swedish, but I really like a lot of their products.
Kazaa might be a nice piece of software, but not all the crap (spyware) it comes with. I've had to "clean" several computers that were full of spyware running in the background slowing everything down, and on all these computers I've also found Kazaa installed. Thanks god for Kazaa Lite, but the average users don't know about it, they install the real version and everything that comes with it...
A similar solution called Tiger was developed for the Swedish armed forces several years back, and was released in a "civilian"-version in 2000. Just like these new phones the old ones was sold in pairs, and they weren't cheap!
Check this out: Sectra, the manufacturer of the Tiger.
Why are the white spots easiest to see against a white background? Shouldn't they be easier to see against a black one?
Sorry if I've got the whole thing wrong, I haven't seen any pictures of these spots. Has anyone got any pictures online?
I think a professional looking web site is very important. I really don't like the old (current) web site. The new one has a much more "modern" feeling to it.
A local computer store re-designed their web site a couple of months ago, and I noticed that my whole picture of the company improved a lot. So again, I think a nice web site is very important.
Why does everybody have to pretend they are something they aren't? My boss asks me for help all the time, and he's not ashamed about that. He's very good at what he does, and that's the only reason he was hired in the first place. Noone thinks he's a bad person because he doesn't know how to move a file from a folder to another.
Yes, and also, I think one of the reasons macs in general work so well is that there's only a limited number of hardware platforms available. Sure, you can add graphics cards and stuff, but it's still not the jungle of different motherboards and CPUs that the PC industry has to face. I'm impressed Windows works as well as it does.
What? When you slide out the drawer in Camino the window automaticly gets narrowed down just enough for the drawer to fit on the screen. When you hide the drawer the window returns to its original size. I always wondered why Mail didn't work the same way.
The only reason I don't buy an iPod is that I would be really worried about it all the time. I mean, I would never use it while jogging for example. The harddrive just feels too fraigle. If I didn't know how a harddrive works I wouldn't be worried at all...
I've read that there's a real time search monitor in the lobby of Google's HQ. The nastiest words are removed, but other than that you can se exactly what people are searching for.
They have to be pretty confused right now, when thousands of searches for speaker bracelets, motorcycle candles and candle trucks show up on the display!
I really HATE that you can't get Google to search for an exact word. Yes, it is a good feature, but it should be up to the user to search for similar words/spellings or not.
That sound like lots and lots of work to me. They could just add an on-the-fly watermark to some graphics that are likely to appear in screenshots, like the about box, to identify the leaker.
Perhaps that's what they have done?
Lots of people here at Slashdot keep asking themselves and others why Linux isn't very popular as a desktop OS. Well, perhaps it's time to start writing software that users want instead of being "selfish" as you describe it?
Also, come on, regular users don't care about multiple desktops and certainly not about C compilers. Sure, multiple desktops can be nice, but it's not like anybody really need them.
The one big advantage about Linux has always been stability (at least according to Linux users who want more people to use Linux), but the newer versions of Windows really has no problem with stability. From Windows 2000 and on the Windows versions has been very stable. I'd say the biggest problem with Windows theese days is all the junk software with spyware and stuff that people keep installing.

The first one is free, after that you're stuck.

Did you know the master connector on an 80 wire IDE cable is white (OK, light gray) and the slave one is black?

"And the 3700 is even faster than the 3700, so what's so special about it?"
It's obviously faster than itself, that sounds pretty special to me!

On the other hand, the more platinum available, the lower the price gets.
And you have mixed your URL's up! :-)
Great, just what I was looking for!

That's a Saab 9-5! This is a Saab 95. A few years older.

To hell with speaker bracelets! I can't read about motorcycle candles anymore!
Yeah, RTFA :-)
Could Microsoft have shut down the site just because it has MS in the domain name? Just curious.
