With support only in the OS, what is the point of having it in the first place? Without developing support into the individual applications, your mail client won't be able to use it to find your mail server. Your web browser wouldn't be able to use it to find your web proxy. And the server applications you actually run, would never be able to advertise themselves as available to the network!
I wonder if these consumer firewall products should spend less time worrying about blocking the occasional porn web site from children, and start trying to implement some kind of inline virus/adware removal. Hopefully one day they will... I'm sure the hardest part would be keeping them up-to-date.
Yet in Firefox, I can enter spaces in the URL and they get correctly translated into their correct escape. Clearly he has never used Firefox, and as such is hardly worthy of using such expressions as "All Existing Browsers."
It might not be a gamer's card, but without OpenGL 2.0, you wouldn't even be able to use it for serious graphics either. Why is this card sounding more and more like a Virge?
Ignoring the wisecrack, a trackball would be a damn good candidate for this sort of trick, when you think about it. It probably generates a lot of energy, and it wouldn't particularly matter if there was a gigantic weight added to it for the dynamo. I just wonder how much harder it would be to turn the ball with the dynamo pushing against it...:-)
A great many CD players already come without speakers, and you can get a number of diskless computers as well. So Cowboy, when you going to step down?:-)
And also so that signals from other miscellaneous RF devices around the house don't interfere with the signal from the mouse, including other mice of the same type.
Of course I get the gist, that's why I asked the question in the first place!
If I take a pay cut of $50K/yr, and it ends up saving me only $40K/yr, then I've lost $10K/yr which I could have saved. The quality of living would want to be a damn lot better than what I have now, if I were going to give up that much money.
On the other hand, if the pay cut was $40K/yr and the savings were $50K/yr, it would be like getting a payrise for almost no effort, and almost a no-brainer (unfortunately I'm married.)
But to really make a decision, one needs numbers.
I'm making the same decision on a smaller scale right now, thinking of moving from one city to another. I would save about $20K/yr, but my paycut might be $10-15K/yr. This doesn't seem bad to me based entirely on wages, but the quality of living might be lower (since I'll be within range of family, which can be a pain. LOL!) and my wife isn't entirely convinced yet that we should move.:-)
I love how this is apparently flamebait when it's really just pointing out the same sort of UI errors that the original article pointed out. Hey, why not mark the article Flamebait too, and save people the trouble of reading it?
I don't see any numbers, and what one person considers "mediocre" is variable enough in itself to be almost no information at all. Almost as little information as your comment just now, in fact.
I'm curious about wages. Presumably one of the reasons people were outsourcing to India in the first place was because of lower wages (and expenses in general.) Wouldn't moving to India then, mean taking a paycut? And would the paycut be lower or greater than the savings in expenses?:-/
I have a number of beefs with the way Firefox does Find now.
It pretends to be exactly like type-ahead (it looks exactly the same!), but when you press Enter it doesn't take you to the link.
It searches over all frames instead of the one I clicked in, which I specifically clicked in to search THAT FRAME.
It's inconsistent with every other Find feature in every other program, ever. Ideally, every program's Find feature should look the same. If that means converting them all to show a bar at the bottom, fine. But that hasn't been done yet.
I know what you mean. The application our company is selling does -- or did -- exactly that, in the last version.
The first thing I did on the new version was to make all the window settings persist so that the window will appear in exactly the same state as it did the previous run.
Maximising all windows is like saying you don't want to use your entire 1600x1200 resolution as it was intended -- to display more stuff.
Nevertheless that single user still loses 100% of his data.
In any case, the home directory tends to be one of the partitions which is easier to back up, due to it (generally) having less crap in it. A nightly script which backs up my home directory to another disk pretty much ensures that nothing can screw you completely.
Why can't we use a single Portage repository to manage all dependencies and build all binary packages for all distributions? Portage can already create binary packages for Gentoo, it would be a bit of work to make it work for RPM and DEB files, but I'm sure anything is possible.
And what then? Instead of having a hundred distros managing their own repositories, we have the same number of people managing a single Portage repository. The number of packages grows faster as a result, and the freshness of the packages improves as well. Everybody wins.
I don't want to take the GPL and release software under the CPL. Obviously that would be bad.
I want to take the GPL, and release software under the GPL which depends on a CPL library.
I don't see why the GPL should be actively prohibiting this behaviour. Tell me, what code is closed source in this scenario? You seem to think some is.
Six days would be likely. I was referring to the time span of the recent Windows and Internet Explorer fixes, not the time span of kernel fixes, which is much shorter.

As a note to readers, the above should read "If you want to run windows apps without extra cost..."
Clearly, Wine does not run Windows.

Furthermore, he is completely wrong anyway.
The page says: "Product: All Existing Browsers"

I think for a new card which would be released in 2005 or later, you would have to expect OpenGL 2.0 at bare minimum.
You said it.
My Wacom Graphire came with a mouse like that,
The mouse in the article was optical, therefore you were saying yours was optical.
Easy enough to understand.
Now you're contradicting yourself.
So you're saying that Wacom were using these?

They had an optical mouse 10 years ago? That must have cost a bomb!

Many stores accept returns, actually. It's a well-known way to get access to extra CD keys.
No, No, No. You're not paying attention.
