Windows 7 added a lot more functionality to the Windows keys, especially for dual monitor setups. Win+P lets you toggle each monitor on and off, Win+Shift+Left/Right moves windows between screens, Win+Left/Right tiles windows to the left or right side of the current screen, Win+Up maximizes, Win+Down restores or minimizes, Win+E opens a new Explorer window.
There are a few more, but those are the ones I use frequently. Admittedly, I rarely use the Menu key, but that makes it quite handy to use as the Host Key in VirtualBox.
Of the Humble Store's nine launch titles, only five show a DRM-free icon. Presumably the others are Steam-only, which has been the case for many Humble Bundle games.
I've already had Chrome tell me that youtube-dl was potentially malicious the first time I downloaded it several months ago. Hasn't happened since, but the potential to abuse this feature is definitely there.
Registration for the Raspberry Pi has now closed. We are currently ensuring that the large number of customers who registered their interest over the final few days of registration have sufficient opportunity to order their Pi, and will be opening to general Raspberry Pi orders mid July.
If you signed up at the launch, you'd have one by now, and if not, you can get one quite soon.
One often overlooked factor is that Australia applies a 10% GST at the federal level, whereas the US sales taxes vary from state to state and aren't usually included in the price.
Which isn't to say that the entire markup is justified, only that some of it is beyond the retailer's control.
How about "I know a lot of people who, to put it mildly, aren't a fan of video games. Can you make subtle changes to your policy so that videos of video games end up all but banned?"
I don't get it, is someone forcing you to watch video game-related videos? Are you unable to find videos that interest you by yourself?
A person commits an offence if:
(a) the person has possession or control of material; and
(b) the material is level 2 prohibited material; and
(c) the material is in a prescribed area.
Penalty: 100 penalty units.
Did you even read what you posted? A person commits an offence only if the material is in a prescribed area. From the same document:
prescribed area has the same meaning as in the Northern Territory National Emergency Response Act 2007.
And in the Northern Territory National Emergency Response Act 2007:
4 Prescribed areas
(1) The areas in the Northern Territory covered by subsection (2) are
prescribed areas.
(2) The areas are:
(a) an area covered by paragraph (a) of the definition of
Aboriginal land in subsection 3(1) of the Aboriginal Land
Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976; and
(b) any roads, rivers, streams, estuaries or other areas that:
(i) are expressly excluded under Schedule 1 to that Act; or
(ii) are excluded from grants under that Act because of
subsection 12(3) or (3A) of that Act; and
(c) land granted to an association under subsection 46(1A) of the
Lands Acquisition Act of the Northern Territory (including
that land as held by a successor to an association); and
(d) each area in the Northern Territory identified in a declaration
under subsection (3).
(3) The Commonwealth Minister may declare that areas in the
Northern Territory known as town camps that are identified in the
declaration are prescribed areas for the purposes of
paragraph (2)(d).
(4) The Commonwealth Minister may declare that:
(a) an area in the Northern Territory that would otherwise be
covered by subsection (2) is not a prescribed area; or
(b) an area in the Northern Territory that is not covered by
subsection (2) is a prescribed area.
(5) A declaration under subsection (3) or (4) is a legislative
instrument.
There may be other legislation making the possession or purchase of RC materials an offence, but the above only applies to specific areas of the Northern Territory subject to the emergency intervention, not the vast majority of the Australian population.
Oh God , Buddha various Deities etc
you think
no gay marriage , lock up the boat people Liberal party
(Australia's right wing version of the Torys , Republicans )
is going to to be any better?
Liberal party really means no to fun.
Pop quiz: Name the major Australian political party, also beginning with L, which started the mandatory detention of illegal immigrants, and is also opposed to gay marriage?
Other websites have dumb, half-friendly URLs, where they add the backend technology inside the URL, such as "http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/" (what's with the "index.cfm" in the URL?). If they fix that problem, all the links pointing to the current URL will break. If they ever change technology, it's also going to break the links from other websites.
Internode's pricing is better, but still not what I'd consider good: the $50/month that the original post mentioned will only get 20Gb/month on a 1.5Mbit ADSL1 connection, and their ADSL2+ (on Telstra) plans start at $69.95/month for a paltry 5Gb. To get 100Gb, you'd have to pay $219/month, which is completely unaffordable for most people. ADSL2+ may as well not exist at all outside of the major cities if it's not available at a reasonable price.
With that in mind I don't think our access is all that bad. I can get 100gigs of ADSL2+ for $50 a month which isn't too bad.
I've posted this before whenever people gush about how wonderful ADSL2+ is in Australia: it's only great when there's competition at the exchange. There are plenty of exchanges where Telstra is the only ADSL2 provider; on one of those you'd pay $149.95 for only 60Gb, and about $6000 in excess usage charges (15c/Mb) to get to 100Gb.
I'll check my batteries...when you give me 110v AC 60hz plugs in business class. Of course this wouldn't help the international traveler (where laptops REALLY help pass the time).
Have a look at the small print on your laptop's power adapter; most elecronic devices these days support multiple voltages and frequencies.
Are you really so dense as to be unable to distinguish between a person marrying another person, and a person marrying an animal or object?
Tell me, though, how is personal responsibility encouraged if a government takes away someone's ability to choose to marry a same-sex partner?
Native, as in I can toss a stick over to a Mac-loving coworker and expect it to work without intervention.
If Apple includes ntfs-3g in OSX 10.7, that's different.
On that criterion, NTFS on Linux fails too, since not all distributions include r/w NTFS support by default. At least in both cases it's fairly simple to install the necessary software.
Hopefully future versions of OS X will have read/write NTFS support built-in.

Liar. The first switchovers were in 2010.

Can I get a potted plant to serve as an editor?
They'd be overqualified.
From Raspberry Pi distributor element14:

What do you plan to use otherwise? Chrome does the same thing, so you're stuck with IE and Safari.
Opera.

failed to act on illegal boat people.
How is it "illegal" to flee from war and persecution?

They're both as bad as each other.

If they fix that problem, all the links pointing to the current URL will break. If they ever change technology, it's also going to break the links from other websites.
There's no reason why Logitech couldn't issue HTTP 301 redirects from http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/ to a newer, friendlier URL.

You do need the original game files but this is pretty easy to do with the help of Google.
Actually, this is no longer true:

OpenGFX isn't 100% complete, but it is already playable.
Your post was good right up until the homophobic troll at the end. Was that remark really necessary?

As they say, justice delayed is justice denied.
They also say, "better late than never".
NTFS-3G works just fine on Mac OS X with MacFUSE.
