There is only one english language, which originated in a country called England. The other one is just a strange dialect for people that don't know how to spell correcly.
Why do you have to replace s with z in so many words and why are all those u's missing?
That should only be the case for native applications. For pure.NET applications (fully MSIL) is should not matter as long as the runtime is available..
The same counts for me. It is sometimes very hard to read what the captchas supposed to be.
On one site I actually did some image processing to make the captcha readable. It was more readable for me, but not yet readable enough for a computer. If I processed it more it might be.
If I can do that with my limited knowledge of image processing, someone experienced can do this very easy and automated.
Indeed. A lot of applocation software that does not work on vista does not work well on xp either. Almost everyone uses XP as adminstrator user because a fair amount of software will fail if you run it as a standard user.
I am a developer myself on linux and windows platforms. I also make installers using installshield. We knew in advance which of most of our software would or would not work on vista.
If developers know what they are doing security features are not a burden but a delight.
Why should supporting an alternative bios have any priority for intel? It is far more important to have decent drivers to be able to use the hardware under a specific OS. For 99 percent of the users there will be absolutely no need to look at an alternative bios for their system. The bios supplied by the manufacurer is all they need. I am one of those people. I want my hardware to work and I see no reason to replace my bios with an open source version. The one Asus supplied does its job.
Arguments like 'but it is not open' only matter to a handful of people. The rest actually don't care about that. Using something like linuxbios can be useful to create a thin client or terminal. This is also something only a small amount of people do.
And how is this a vista issue? HP is at fault here, not microsoft.
This is the same for most of the complaints the consumentenbond gathered. People were trying to plug in their ancient hardware and it did not work out of the box. Other people at least tried to use the driver disc or searched for updated drivers. As most manufacturers stop support for their devices after a few years there weren't any vista drivers available. Most of that hardware does not even work reliable on XP because the drivers are outdated.
If such hardware does not work on vista it is not microsofts nor the manufacturers fault. It is the fault of the user who is to cheap to replace his / her outdated hardware.
When I installed vista all my hardware worked excpet for my seven year old hp flatbed scanner. I did not assume it would work though. As it started to malfunction I did not care either. Bought a new one and it works perfectly.
It's simple; the EC should require that a certain (large) percentage of government computers should run alternate OSes. This statement is totally stupid. Just use the correct tool for the job you have to do. Sometimes that may be microsoft software, sometimes not.
First look at the problem that needs to be solved then find the correct solution for it. Do not start with a solution and look how it can solve your problem. Mostly it wont work well.
You might try that also. The following was clearly noted:
Microsoft will make the codecs for video and audio available to users of Moonlight from their web site. The codecs will be binary codecs, and they will only be licensed for use with Moonlight on a web browser (sorry, those are the rules for the Media codecs[1]). The moonlight code itself may be open, but it relies heavily on proprietary stuff.
I was (sarcastically) making the point that, as far as I'm concerned, Windows Mobile is no better than, and just as proprietary as, the iPhone's OS.
Both are proprietary, so what? Will an open OS make it a better phone? Probably not.
The big advantage of a windows mobile device over an iphone is that it is easy to run third party apps (without having to hack your device). It is also very easy to develop your own software for WM 5 or 6 using the.net compact framework or just plain C++.
How hard would it have been to recompile the iPhone software for a 64-bit machine? It is not just about recompiling the code. The device drivers for the iphone must be rewritten to run on a 64 bit OS. If they made their dfrivers right that should not be hard, But we are talking about apple here...
There is one simple solution: don't store your bank information on your computer. My bank uses a device which, combined with the bank card, generates 8 digit codes to use for authentication and verification. This device is not connected to a computer.
For confirmation of any transaction you need to enter the confirmation code from the website on the device. The device generates a signing code which must be entered on the website for confirmation.
it might be more manual actions, but it is also more secure. My computer does not contain any bank information to get compromised. To hack my account, they must have access to my pin number, my bank card and the reader.
And because when a country is in fear, it is much easier to control its populace.
..and take their righs away. Just look ate the war on terror has resulted in: no more privacy and all people (especially foreigners) are considered to be potential terrorists.
It also depends how much it will cost. Looking at its features you can probably classify it as a mid-range smartphone, not a high end one. If the price is acceptable (at most EUR 300 for just the phone) it will probably sell well.
I don't think 3G is such a big deal in Europe, either. What matters, though, is MMS. And the iPhone (so far) doesn't have MMS (as per the iPhone training manuals).
Not a big deal in europe? What part of europe do you mean by that? Here in holland all phones, except for the really cheap ones, are internet capable (just GPRS or GPRS + UMTS). This year there are a lot of smart phones and pda's sold instead of simple phones. So yes: 3G IS a big deal here.
Because the US system is under the control of the US. In reality, "friendship" between countries does not exist; countries have allies, not friends.
To be more precise: it is under military control. The US army has the possibility to disable or cripple the GPS system when they feel like to. It is obvious that people don't like that. The galileo project would be run under civil control and not government control.
Yeah. I'm kinda wondering what sort of development shop this coder works in where "success" means you leak a couple hundred bytes (or so) of heap, but failures are cleaned up properly.
The mechanisms in ink cartridges are a lot more complicated nowadays than they used to be. HP, for example, has the print heads built into the ink cartridges.
That is why I don't buy HP printers. The canon printer i have (i550) has a separate print head and the 4 inkt cartridges only contain ink and nothing more.
I myself have an M3 Adapter with a Passcard 3, which does the same thing that this does except it requires both a Slot 1 and Slot 2 cartridge. It takes standard SD cards but sticks out of my DS Lite a lot, though I'm probably going to get myself an M3 Lite soon which will require Micro SD, just like the one in the story does.
I own a passcard 3 with an m3 perfect. I also bought a M3 simply. This datel thing looks exactly the same as the simply. Even the packaging is the same. Only the color is different. The only difference is that it comes bundled with the game cd and a flash card.

The only reason for the existence of region code is greed.
You were not the only one who thought that...

But the link betwee a GPU and fuel cells? Has it something to do with high power cosumption of the high end GPUs
