Being able to bolt on functions like ABP, foxmarks, FireFTP mean that much of my work is browser based now, and I'd not switch from FF without a great deal of effort by other broswers. I can switch back and forth from Linux to Windows and not really notice any difference in how I'm working.
It almost makes Firefox seem like it's doing what that cross-platform technology was supposed to be doing 10 years ago. Named after some coffee or something.
This wouldn't work because when someone's showing you a pic of their wife/family/work colleagues, etc. it would irtitatingly keep pointing to the attractive women's breasts.
They lead to what's known as the "Gorilla Arm Syndrome". We humans aren't designed to keep our hands extended and not resting on something for any length of time, and after a while, our arms will feel like they've weighted down with lead. Then, when you quit, you feel you have arms the size of a gorilla. And then the pain sets in.
This is the main reason why touch screens never took off any of the three times they were marketed as the new and wonderful thing. My guess is that this is a fourth attempt, which will meet with no more success.
Maybe that's because we're still using monitors perpendicular to the ground. If we went back to having screens parallel with the ground, like a piece of writing paper, using a touchscreen would be a lot easier in this regard.
142 pages of coding standards with 220 rules formatted as a typical DOD document with section numbering, headers, and footers, and change pages. Something I'm sure each team member read cover to cover.
A picture of a child could cause certain men to be reminded of children when they'd forgotten before, and tempted into molesting them. Eliminating pictures of children is therefore a commendable activity.
customers subscribed through 'Pay as you Go' (PAYG; a non-subscription service, paid up in front as credit), are only given WAP access, which only provides very basic HTTP access.
Incidentally, we get these noun-adjective phrases as hangovers from French. In this case we should really say 'general attourneys', and I'm not sure why we don't. Likewise, we should not have 'courts marshall', but 'marshall courts'.

It's a bit of a nonsense argument to just say, 'computers will get smarter and figure out how to fool your test/eventually/'. So what? They can't *now*. By that logic, NO test will EVER be good enough because eventually we'll have developed an android that's completely indistinguishable from a human, and for all intents and purposes it will be a human. Like, eventually.
The NHS is deteriorating, and being slowly but surely privatized by Labour. In addition, the English, Scottish, Welsh and NI health services are diverging, so it's becoming broken up too. Not happy times for it, actually.
He gets his wife to turn the fax machine on. They're a little too technical for him. He's just mastering how to use a 'pen' device. It takes quite a bit of comprehension for him to grasp the moving of the ink from the device to the paper. Very tough stuff.
Sorry to OT the thread with this and I guess I'll get modded down, but it's taken me this long to figure out that Slashdot doesn't have an internal messaging system (Why the hell not? E-mail sucks now, not good enough.)
Anyway,
Oolite: Elite-like game. For Mac, Linux and Windows [aegidian.org]
Alioth, what do you think is the best ever Elite game or Elite clone ever made? Is it Oolite, or is there something better about the retro NES version?
They made Nintendo great with games like Dragon Warrior, Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore, and Chrono Trigger. Personally, I thought the FF franchise was the worst and most boring of the bunch. So formulaic. It's a real shame that's the one they decided to carry on with; I don't think the Wii's missing out much.

And they took a few real life events, sexed them up, and made about 90% of the rest of the script up. :-)
That animal game is crap. I gave it appropriate answers for 'kangaroo' and it didn't guess it.

So why don't companies use contractors for everything?
Joysticks are still around?
it wont accidentally trash half your files if you sneeze and move your hand at the same time.
To be fair, even that will only trash half your files if you're using Microsoft voice recognition.
3. Some sort of eyeball tracking interface.

Anyone who can learn C++ can learn that.
I'd be much more interested if it could point out speed traps to me...
That's exactly what TomTom GPS devices in this country (UK) do (there's a lot of em over here...). I guess they do in the US too.
And it's made in America.
But, they don't tend to have hot women on those flights, so do they... do they fuck each other?

WAP isn't HTTP at all, is it?
Of course if the shut down usenet would anybody notice?
I so miss the days when usenet was useful.
Why? It just got replaced by the World Wide Web (or parts of it).
Don't think of the children!! Won't anybody stop thinking of the children?

So it's a win-win situation; you get fewer bots, and fewer dumbasses signing up. Heyyy, I've just thought of a great voting eligibility test...

Obligatory.
I didn't want it for FFXII, I wanted it for FFXIII and hopefully FFXIIII sometime too, duh!
