They had previously let go of Graffiti and developed their own Graffitti2. and made everyone learn new keystrokes. If they go back now, everyone who learned Graffiti2 is not going to be happy However, I'd be willing to bet that not everyone has upgraded, and many, if not most, are still using Graffiti1. Maybe they will include both, and have the user decide?
For those of you unfamiliar with Kceasy, or windows in general, KCeasy is only a client for the giFT server http://gift.sourceforge.net/ . However, an additional plugin is required to access the Fasttrack network (Kazaa). Thus, I think that only the development of this plugin will cease, and that giFT and KCeasy will live.
Well since they would probably have a premier/business account, and it costs those accounts "2.2% + $0.30 USD to 2.9% + $0.30 USD" to receive funds, they would actually have to pay paypal 30 cents for every $0 donation we give them...
*muhahaha*
The strange thing about cars is that we've effectively moved to really good carriages. What's the difference between riding in a horse-drawn carriage and a new car? Speed notwithstanding, you can get to about the same places on each, and go through the same landscapes. The carriage is even more comfortable.
Well, it's being a good couple of months with Firebird, but with this release, I'll go back to Mozilla, again. Fast, lean, and efficient is nice, but when you have a 3.1ghz cpu with 1.5 gigs of ram and 200 gigs of hd space, why not throw in the kitchen sink too?
Yes, but that's Nintendo's *only* source of income. Unless they have a Plan B somewhere in headquarters, they are hanging by a thread.
Consider Sony. The PS2 is only a fraction of their assets. They also have other electronics (dvd, tv, discmans), optical drives, music and movie studios, and even little robot dogs!
"The lawsuit is demanding the family either pay a $3,500 settlement, or fight the suit and go to court. If they lose, they could have to pay $750 per song."
I have absolutely no idea how laws determine how much the guilty have to pay, but doesn't $750 seem like a little too much?
Considering these are 'soft', I would set their value at $1 each, like online music stores. Has the RIAA lost $750 on each song? Has each song actually been downloaded an average of 750 times?
The $3500 settlement is a little more reasonable, if such a term can be applied to the RIAA. That would mean about $3.18 per song.
I still can't solve one, or even two sides. I can get one, then continue with another until I've got about 7 or 9 squares of the second, but I just can't seem to finish it. Or, if I take a different apporach, I can finish one side, and then a little more than half of all other sides. of course, I always quit after a few minutes. Tv and the internet (mostly slashdot) have shortened my attention span; I wonder what's on right now...
Better yet, use the composer that comes with Thunderbird. That's right, the new email/news client. I don't know if its supposed to be there, or will be taken out soon, but with Thunderbird 0.3, use "thunderbird -edit" (whereever you normally use "thunderbird") to start the composer.
I hope I don't get modded down into oblivion, but I really like Microsoft Streets and Trips. I have the 2002 edition that came with Microsoft Works Suite. Online maps are slow (I'm on modem) and they don't feel right. I get the feeling that they are limited to certain rectangles. With S&T, I can get the feel for the whole map. I can scroll to the edges just as easy/fast as I would scroll on a web page or spreadsheet. From the routes I've gotten from around my area, I can't say either (Yahoo, MapQuest, S&T) is any better than the other. For example, they all insist on me taking highways, even if it takes longer to get there (yes, I know about scenic, shorter, faster,etc, but it didn't make much of a difference)
In the real world, you must also take into consideration different file size ranges, tree structures, and file systems. Comparing two hd technologies while keeping these factors constant isn't very "real world" to me.
Technically, isn't C++ backwards compatible with C? That is, all C programs should compile and work correctly on any C++ compiler. Do compilers actually use the file extension to differentiate? Maybe if you just labeled your code as.cpp, it will all work out.
In some cases, in certain interpretations, this can be a good thing: like automatic patches for security vulnerabilities. However, there are many reasons why such intrusive behavior - regardless of motive - is bad.
Not trying to defend M$ or anything, but when you put it that way I guess they really are just trying to secure the xbox. After all, it _is_ being hacked.
Hasn't that happened already?
A while ago, I could've sworn http://www.gogle.com pointed to one of those all-in-one search pages usually in place for dot-com busts.
When my friend was put in charge of the multimedia supplement of our high school yearbook, I joked about him just putting pictures and videos into labeled folders. Sadly, this was the case; he "didn't have time" for his plans: html navigation complete with thumbnails and tons of other fancy stuff.
I've seen something like this done in a neighboring city, Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico (I live in El Paso, TX). The subscription rate is really low; the paper is almost completely distributed in stores and newstands. Every once in a while, the paper has a special edition contating a cd. I think it's only music for now, but it may change. The special edition costs around US$0.50 more, which is about the normal cost of the paper (Sunday doesn't cost any more). I have never heard anyone else actually mention it, so I don't think it is fairing well.
I can't completely describe my satisfaction with Bayesian filtering. I've been using SpamBayes for a few weeks w/ Outlook (please don't smite me), and it hasn't let me down. I have received absolutely no spam in my inbox these last couple of weeks. Granted, I built up a collection of >500 unwanted e-mails, but it only took a couple of days:)

Now what is Palm doing to do about Graffiti?

At $16 for an optical mouse, it's not bad at all. Perhaps I'll be getting one the next time my mouse dies. Any idea on how loud the fan is?

So, where is the advance in technology?
Well, it's being a good couple of months with Firebird, but with this release, I'll go back to Mozilla, again. Fast, lean, and efficient is nice, but when you have a 3.1ghz cpu with 1.5 gigs of ram and 200 gigs of hd space, why not throw in the kitchen sink too?
Hopefully they'll play nice together...

What else does Nintendo have?

WTF? anyone care to enlighten me?
In the Soviet Union, Nigerians are spammed by you!
Oh, wait... D'oh!
Maybe reversed?

huh?

Maybe they *do* have the cash to buy AOL...
(yes, I know that's 18.849 million US)

Charter claims they are the only major ISP that has not provided the RIAA with 'a single datum of information.
I could've sworn Soutwestern Bell hadn't furnished any of its customers' information at the RIAA's request either...
So now we're going to see fine print saying "Warning: actual byte conversions may vary" !

Tea? What's that?
Oh, right, too many /.'ers are complaining that /. is too US-centric. I guess they are trying to be less US-Centric, more international.
Very well then, you may continue.
serious dent in the $60 billion (yes with nine zeros) cash reserve
60 = 1 zero billion = 9 zeroes ------------------ 60 billion = 1+9 zeroes = 10 zeroes
