Will this thing phone the authorities when my body temp falls below 96 degrees? I know it may be too late for me, and it's not quite like Minority Report, but hmm.....
...it's still not good enough. I will continue to have a full-fledged version of Windows on my computers until Wine can run MS Office flawlessly. That includes plugins for said suite. IOW, until I can run Excel and use Solver w/out the system crashing, it's not good enough.
Additionally, it would be nice to have MS Office 2007 support. I know you're working on it, keep up the good work, but until you get that done, I'm still going to use VMWare or reboot into Windows.
But seriously, can't wait until you figure out how to get Office 2007 supported; then I'll push my company's IT department to let me get Linux installed on my work laptop.
as this has been shown in courts for years(aka fair use), just because the copyright owner does not give permission does not mean by any stretch that fair use doesn't apply,fair use is to restrict copyright.
downloading copyrighted materials is 100% legal in all scenarios. Forget your wrong or right, this is an issue that is going through courts a lot lately. You're correct in saying that fair use is to restrict copyright. However, the general concensus is that legitimate fair use is when a consumer or anyone who is reproducing the copyrighted material has already come to possess said material by means that the copyright holder has approved of. For personal use, it's to duplicate for personal use and without any means of making money (i.e. selling the copies of the copyrighted material or using the copyrighted material in something which generates an income for you [e.g. as a soundtrack for a film you create or, a very common example always thrown around in schools, plagarism.]) For purposes of commercial entities, "fair use" is to allow discussion of a copyrighted work (e.g. reproducing an excerpt to give a reader an understanding of what you're talking about, modifying a copyrighted work for the purposes of parody, etc.)
IOW, "Fair Use" has never been, nor ever will be, applicable for acquisition of a copyrighted work, only for what you can do with a copyrighted work after a permissible acquisition.
So what's up with that 1%? Sampling material (be it music, video, or software) to decide if I should purchase it or clear it off of my computer. If I don't like it, I trash it. If I like it, I'll buy it.
There's always the possibility that he never believed in the RIAA's bullshit and just did it all out of greed, but someone with such loose morals isn't the kind of person you'd want behind the bench. It seems to be a lose-lose situation for the people of Colorado. Or he could just think that, regardless of the RIAA's tactics, downloading copyrighted materials without permission of the copyright holder is the wrong thing to do....
For some reason, and it shouldn't amaze me by now (but it still does,) but I still get shocked by the level of groupthink that goes on @/. regarding the permissibility of piracy.... I'm not saying that I never download anything, but 99% of the content I do download is not for sale in my continent and the company who owns the works has refused to offer the content for foreigners (even for a fee,) so I have rationalized the "No Damages" defense. But downloading the latest 50 Cent CD just because you don't want to pay for it, I just never got that once I left highschool.
One ballistic impulse of 7 km / sec or so to get up above the atmosphere and on your way is...
a great way to make your jaw come out your ass?
Fine for sturdy cargo, but your common slob (such as myself) could NOT withstand that kind of acceleration. You'd have to make people pass physical fitness tests for insurance purposes.... You make it sound like that's such a bad thing. If more people were in good enough of shape to be astronauts (not that they'd have to actually be an astronaut), health-care costs would plummet. On the other hand, it would make going out with fit birds a hell of a lot harder, what, with all the competition
I had an R2D2 shaped vaccuum cleaner long before they made the Roomba. Well, it wouldn't sweep by itself but it made funny little R2D2 noises when you pulled it along the floor if you didn't oil the castors.
It wouldn't show movies, either. Ok, I guess that pretty much sucked. Never mnd. I'd say it looks more like a Dalek than an R2D2....
Sorry, I should've probably also included a link. However, one would expect that, of any websites,/. would support more than just basic latin characters....
It is impossible to get support from Microsoft for a company based in India; even if one is willing to pay money. Microsoft sells Server licenses and Volume licenses and Corporate licenses; but nowhere do they sell Support for server, desktop or home software - atleast in India. Of course they don't, imagine how expensive it would be to do so! If they provided support in India, where the hell would they outsource to? You can't provide support in the same country as your offices with tech support- a fundamental requirement is that nobody can understand anyone.
...the only stuff I'm downloading from the BBC. Seeing as I've already asked them to provide their content to aliens for a fee, and they refused, I'll cite "No damages" for my defense should I ever be prosecuted.
Who's still downloading music, anyways? There's been so very little music that's come out in the past 5 years that's actually worth listening to that you have no reason for not being able to afford buying the album. Besides, you would've thought that people have amassed enough music via downloads by now. Hell, I used to have 30+ days of music on my computer before I thinned it down, and now I still have an unwieldy 10 days of music....
I write to inform you that the product you are bullshitting about is not Linux, but GNU/Linux. GNU/Linux, unlike products released by Microsoft (Such as OPENXML), tend to have names which are not doublespeak. This practice of not praciticing doublespeak is also adopted by the Free Software Foundation.
As you are most certainly aware, GNU/Linux stands for GNU is Not Unix. Ergo, Linux is not Unix.
Thank you for your time. My lawyers will send you the bill for mine.
It would be amusing to see Dell or HP in talks with Apple. They both need something better than Vista. It would actually make sense for Apple to sell off the desktop market to another vendor, and concentrate on portable devices. "Never trust a computer you can't lift", remember.
They do have things better than Vista. They're still selling XP, and they're also offering various Linux distributions.
I lived in the Twin Cities for the first 20 years of my life. Minneapolis & St. Paul are fortunate to be very cyclist-friendly. I believe Minneapolis is either No. 1 or No. 2 for number of cyclists for American cities. I'm sure a large reason for this is the combination of the Greenway, the bike lockers, and the busses equipped with bike racks.
But despite MN's extreme weather, it's a rare summer where the mercury actually hits 100 degrees and the humidity comes and goes fairly frequently. I have no doubts that Minnesota is one of, if not the, most extreme climates in the United States. However, for the purpose of my previous post, I was only concerned about the hotter end of extreme weather. And when you compare Minneapolis to Richmond, VA, Richmond will best Minneapolis for any reasonable period of time (reasonable being a continuous period of time; in other words, more than just a random day here & there.)
Now, granted, I did choose to ignore the scenario of when one member of the household works 30mi west of the home and the other member works 30mi east of the home, but my recommendation there would be to try to find jobs closer to home. This doesn't mean quit the job they're at right this moment, but to begin to search through the classifieds and various social networks.

You get 250GB of data transfer? Seriosly, wtf?

I know that several of the cores in the Cell resemble PPC's and I seem to recall an association of PPC's and one of the X-Boxes.
Is there any reason to use a PPC these days? At least, for desktop usage?
It wouldn't show movies, either. Ok, I guess that pretty much sucked. Never mnd. I'd say it looks more like a Dalek than an R2D2....
That's because you tried to compile it with a jdk. For anything whose source code is this old, you'll be have better luck with FORTRAN
Of course not, why would they? 640K was enough for anybody back then!
and get to work at getting me RAW mode for my Cybershot! Being able to use my cybershot also as a webcam would be sweet, too

Orion's overrated anyway. They should change their name to BoÃtes.
Even better, what about Gentoo? By the time he finished testing all of the other distros, it should've finished compiling....
