Well, actually, if you have any contact at all with the outside world, I have a right to care. Everything we do affects hwo we live, whether we know it or not.
DirectX isn't just graphics. It is also networking, realtime input, sound, etc. Have you ever tried creating a GUI with DirectX? It is hard because you don't get the standard controls. What Avalon does is bridge that gap and bring 3D to the GUI controls (eg, outside the client area). Direct3D will only render into the client area.
Qt4 will also fill this gap - any QT widget can be drawn on top of an OpenGL canvas, and it will be OpenGL accelerated.
Maybe there are legitimate reasons for doing this. If Google fears that GMail's 1GB storage space could be used as a warez haven, they may have good reason for locking out automated tools.

"So you want windowsupdate to be broken for these people?
It don't work with firefox, bub."
It's not a native solution, but there's always the WindowsUpdate extension.
What we need is "fIErfox". It would be a version of Firefox with the default skin set to an IE look-alike, and the installer would basically be double-click, wait 30 seconds, then a box pops up saying installation complete. It would erase all traces of IE and replace them with itself, with the IE icon.
Slashdot Mirror
Now, suddenly, only two states have a vote count which is wildly divergent from the exit polling. Those states are Ohio and Florida.
Actually, the results were quite in line with the exit polls. (Florida, Ohio)
can one "cat perldoc://someuri/perldoc1" ?
/dev/usb1/1/data
/n/ftp/pub/*/readme
if not then it is at the wrong layer to be "transparent"
plan's approach of a unified file system approach is far more transparent
a daemon runs and serves the appropriate files in the namespace as regular filenames
cat
grep bunny
etc.
Sure, no problem. It's still a work-in-progress, though.

If you call, please make sure to ask if you can host a personal server on it. If they get enough questions, maybe they'll change the TOS.

Even the author meant the book negatively. No read Huxley's introduction to the (revised?) edition sometime.
Did you prove to the ISP you were the copyright holder?
That was bcaus the -ky on my kyboard was not working as it should in thos days.
No, I think it's just picky.
Does this mean we should support the INDUCE act now? ;)
IE7
It's still alpha software, but it works pretty well in my testing.
There is all too much of both parties telling me what is right for My Own Good as opposed to just governing our society.
How exactly do you think can society be governed without *someone* deciding what is good and what is not?
This isn't flamebait, I seriously want to know.
Win2k didn't require activation but XP does.
Kind of ironic that only users who legally aquire their copies have to go through the activation scheme.
Perhaps it just means that the Slashdot bug is a symptom of a larger problem?
Does this mean DTrace will also be open-source? I wonder what license Sun will use.
Gee whiz... sorry if I came across that way, but in all honesty I was just pointing out that Avalon wasn't/won't be the only thing to do this.

That's why I said "almost impossible". :P
IE would still reside on the hard drive; hell, it's almost impossible to get rid of in Windows XP anyway. It would just be hidden.

Call it IE upgrade or something.
