Not really. Hiring an infinite number of testers will only find the bugs. You still need real developers to fix it (which testers are not, and users, which you are suggesting, sure as hell are not.)
I use it for the awesome/etc/init.d layout, and the way it doesn't make you remember shitty, arbitrary numbers for your runlevels. And also for the way that installing from the CD is exactly the same as installing by bootstrapping a hard drive into another machine.
The way I see it, science fiction is a setting, not a genre. So the Guide is happily a comedy in a sci-fi setting, just like Star Trek is a drama in a sci-fi setting and Star Wars is a fantasy in a sci-fi setting.
That would certainly be their plans for a few games. There are many GameCube games which use the GBA as a controller, many of which rock (can anyone say "Crystal Chronicles"?)
It would be great to see a touchscreen / dual-screen version in the next generation.
Nintendo sure are sitting on a lot of potential here, but really I only want to see one thing... the new console should run the same protocol as the DS, but be able to route it over a real network.
I guess it depends whether (a) the font is embedded somehow like in PostScript, or (b) the font is referenced externally like in HTML.
Last I checked there weren't legal issues with referencing fonts externally, if they happened to be present on the recipient's system.
But if you include the font in the document itself, maybe that's different. If the font were commercial, you would certainly be charged some kind of royalty for using the font. If it were GPL, it probably would be fair to make the document GPL.
If they could have picked any colour for the see-through colour, it should have been something other than white. See the screenshot they provide which shows just how bad it is when a web browser with Google on it is in front of another window.
Surely some colour like RGB(4,0,4) would be fairly uncommon, and a little more safe. Colours like that tend to be used for video overlays already, so they should work fine.
But I don't see LEDs being serious competition until you can buy a bulb which looks like an incandescent, but uses LEDs internally. Just look at fluorescent bulbs... you still don't see so many of those around, possibly because they are awfully ugly.:-/
Never mind that computers generate even more heat when they're actually being used. And that almost half the time it's "not being used" is time I'm still sitting in front of it thinking about what to do next.
It does, in a sense that the more heat you waste, the more power you're paying for which never makes its way into useful calculations, and the more expensive cooling equipment you need to get it away from the CPU.
The unfortunate thing though, is that they're now looking into a tenth doctor, instead of exploring the possibility of having a prior doctor come back for a season. And I thought McGann was great in the role, as little as he had of it (practically nothing, unless you count radio...)
It baffles me more that the eighth Doctor was reported to be keen to take the role back for the latest series, but the BBC instead decided to hire a guy who was ready to quit after only one season.
A click-through EULA on a virus might actually be a good idea. It could shift all blame for any damage to the user, that way, so any attempt to sue the creator would surely fail.;-)

The gap isn't as narrow as you say. IDEA performs a lot better (and faster) than Eclipse.

I originally had a "you insensitive clod" worked in there too, but decided against it.

Gentoo has it harder in a way. It doesn't tend to push forwards the version of GCC until everything compiles with it...
In Soviet Russia, the Cowboy Neal option forgets You!
I've been thinking of doing that for a long time now. It's a shame Google can't use POST instead of GET. :-)

That's right, Microsoft are going to buy Counter-Strike off Valve.

No, RGB(255,255,254) is actually somewhere near white. So it would be black next on a nearly white background.
You could map white to RGB(255,255,254), and then map some other colour like RGB(4,0,4) to white.
I'm not entirely certain why this would be so hard to do, either, although two of you seem to think it is.

... Like a Game Boy?

If they know, I imagine they would be happy to sell back Intel's own copy for the reward.
Sounds like something which might be fun to run at, say, net cafes. :-)

Gandalf is a lazy cunt... he gets other people to light his fires instead of using a level 1 fire spell.
