I agree. My keychain currently contains 182 entries for websites, mail, ftp and many other things - and it's integrated with many, many apps.
Here's how a normal workday looks like: First thing in the morning, I enter my keychain password once - and from then on, it's all working and zero password remembering. Nice:-)
Instead of doing a swap instruction after every load and before every writeback, I see a possibility to fix this - could anyone please confirm if it would work?
All data is turned around (made big-endian) when they enter the emulation environment. This means that your win harddrive image would have to be converted while upgrading to VirtualPC G5. Other interfaces that needed to do this turn is file drag-and-drop, clipboard, USB, Ethernet and a few more. But as soon as the data is inside the emulated environment, normal speed can be achieved, again. And additionaly, since throughput through those interfaces is rarely the bottleneck of the emulated environment, making these things slower won't slow down the whole emulation.
Anybody interested in commenting? Thanks!
The device comes with a mandatory 'automatic purge' feature. Each recording is marked by a timestamp on disk and thirty one days after a recording has been made, it is automatically deleted. This feature fits in with Japanese copyright rules.
So, since the device stores two weeks of TV, it would need to record every 2nd program on a channel to ever fill up the harddisk.
Or, if you have recorded two weeks of continous TV, in order to see everything you have recorded you would need to go on holidays and watch without sleep for two weeks because the recordings start to get deleted after this time...
Hmm... I think they need to rethink their machine again:-)
Summary (from the site): Although micropayment is a great thing in principle, existing implementations contain big problems which block their success. This article analyzes these problems and proposes a new solution without them. The solution lacks most traditional spending features, but still preserves the "spirit of micropayment".
The name is quite poorly chosen, as millions of german native speakers without a doctorate will spontaneously connect "eigen" to "Eigentum", which means "property". So you have "Owned music" as the primarily perceived meaning, which is as fitting as anything. Sad...

Interestingly enough, PP can be trained, and a certain course that sounds like snake oil really worked for me. And it also gives another meaning to the title of this article "Perfect Pitch for Those Withouth It".
What I don't understand is why Microsoft even does this distinction between fast and full save when it would be possible to create a single save mode that is both fast and full, bear with me for a moment:
At the moment the user hits "save", "fast save" is faster because Word doesn't has to do any re-interpreting of what is already in memory. This step is what makes full save slower. But the re-interpreting doesn't has to happen at the moment the user hits "save", it can happen all the time while the user is editing his document. During editing, the performance of the machine is largely unused anyway. And when the user hits "save" in this better version of Word, the application can just save the interpreted data to disk, which is even faster than "fast save", since it's less data!
I do the same thing quite often. Here is an extra tip: Even at 1%, most laptop screens are still too bright to read in the dark without hurting your eyes. Get a utility to adjust the gamma curve of your lcd (like SuperCal for the mac), and use it to make your monitor as dark as you want until you're happy.
I actually hated it when OS 9 introduced "fixed folders" - previously, you were able to put everything everywhere under any name and it worked: You could rename the "system folder" "experiment in progress" and put it 10 layers deep into some folders - no problems!
But from what I hear about other OSs, Apple seems to have taken a step back, but still be halve a step ahead of everybody else...
Now, if they could introduce the functionality held previously, we would be in heaven...
After reading the how it works page, it looks like all these phones will use the US/Canadian area code 747. While this jumbo number is easy to remember, I'm asking myself if it would have been wiser to use a new country code instead. Imagine asian people exchanging their phone number, and one of the two has a number starting with +1747... it just doesn't sound right...
It's still widely in use and extremely popular all across Europe. Every TV station has its own editorial department and most of them publish news 24 hours a day - like the web, but since the 80s...
Can somebody enlighten me if there is Teletext in the US, too? If not, how did you have news, program guides, last minute travel offers and subtitles?
The problem was with running iRate directly off the supplied read-only disk image. Once I moved it, everything worked fine.
I also added a few additional bug reports, which I won't repeat here. Keep this great program up, it has a lot of potential!:-)
One last note - or more of a which, actually: iRate eats CPU cycles like whales eat krill. A non-Java version would be much, much appreciated:-)
Cheers!
Cool name, and a cool concept! However, it didn't work for me: It started up, began downloading some songs, but even after 3 songs had been downloaded, I still couldn't command the first song to start playing: Doubleclicking doesn't work, as well as clicking the ">>" button.
Actually, I think that this app suffers quite a bit from a bad interface. I'm not sure if the ">>" button starts playing or fast forwards to the next song. The ">>" is normally used to indicate fast forwarding, but in this case the ">>" is part of a group of two buttons with the other being "||", which always indicates "Pause", so I'm inclined to think that the ">>" is meant to indicate "play". Note thought, that a "Play" button is normally using a single triangle pointing to the right for this cause.
Additionaly, I think the idea that every user needs to rate every song - takes a lot of effort, - won't work with thousands of songs - is not what users expect from a radio and - doesn't leverage the fact that everything is interconnected: How about if ratings would be analyzed and listeners automatically put together into groups of same taste. That way, iRate learns from everybody and after some training, I get lots of new music I never have heard before but which matches exactly my taste.
Hmm... what's your size, then? Germany has many tall people too, and I think most german cars are made for people up to 2.1 m (don't know the american size system...)
Anyway, have you tried the Renault Vel Satis? It has an additional 30 cm of head room for a very special, "spacy" room feeling...
Speaking from an European viewpoint, most cars we order are actually built-to-order. When we buy a car, there are extensive lists of extras that we can buy or not and add up to the price: Example 1, Example 2.
The exceptions to this are Japanese and (I think) U.S. cars. These cars are normally sold in Europe already containing every imaginable extra, so the only thing left to choose is the color. Since it takes some time to freight those cars over to Europe using ships, importers normally have a stack of them ready at all times so that you can get them as soon as you have paid.
When I do this, random green and pink lines are displayed in the previously white window, but apart from that, it still doesn't work.
Has anybody got another idea to try?
I've downloaded Blender and tried to run it: After 40 seconds, a blank window appeared, but nothing else. After 7 minutes, I was tired of waiting, killed the app and trashed it. This is the same experience I had on other machines half a year ago with Blender. I just wanted to fiddle around with it a bit, as I regularly do with randomly downloaded Mac apps, but this App seems to not adhere to the usual standard of "start the app in 15 seconds or less and everything works".
What you are saying is that images are not cached by Google and are automatically fetched from the original server (if still available), and hackers can be tracked by the original site admin when using this exploit.
This might look reassuring at first sight, but of course it can be overcome very easily by turning "auto load images" off in your browser. So, hackers cannot be tracked again (except by Google itself, of course:-))

Good work, Mofo, you nabbed me :-)

It's still a fun way to trick your office fellas into thinking that Google has broken down...

Yeah, but interestingly, Google couldn't find anything about MSN either...

Wow, didn't knew they made such things! Amazing stuff!
Cool, thanks!
there *was* a standard for video on cassette tape
Wow, that's very interesting, I've never heard about that. I could google anything up either. Do you have some additional infos? Thanks!
Interesting article about the same subject.
