The question is whether the spatial metaphor is always useful. I usually know where my files are, I just need to get to them. I'm not searching for random crap I might have around somewhere. Gnome's interface gets in the way of that.
And what if any one of those fails? You're still just as screwed if your gun fails. What if the gun misfires? Old powder? Jams? Any of a multitude of other failures possible in any system? It's a new system, and it's supposed to make people safer. I'm sure gun manufacturers are rather well in-tune with their clientele, and don't want to do something that'd terribly upset Nader and his crowd. They've probably done some very good design and implementation, on the order of your door locks and seat belts.
Any time you put in an arbitrary limitation on something, that's what's known as "crippling" it.
But maybe you use a different dictionary than I have...
I ran into the same thing, only I haven't cared enough to run through that crap to test it. If they install a program, shouldn't there be a menu entry or something? Or at least tell me what it installed?
Because you live in a TOWN of 15k. That's non-trivial, and it'd be worth stringing a data line out to. However, we're talking about RURAL US. Many people in the rural areas of the US live in the middle of nowhere relatively, miles from their nearest neighbor, and it's not worth it to string out expensive fiber to where it'll serve less than 100 or so people. Even some suburbs are barely worth putting in the infrastructure necessary to support them.
His logic is spot on. You don't seem to understand 'rural'
Dude, it's the freaking WWW. You should have implicit permission to link to the front page of ANY site, and there's a good argument that if you put anything in the publicly accessible space, then it should be able to be linked to.
Seriously, grow some cojones and a brain, and realize that they might WANT you to link to them.
Perhaps what they mean is what they say... did you even RTFA? It works with the IR radiation. Which isn't traditionally classified as 'light'
Of course, this is/.
Why would you read the article?
Couple things: 'enlightened' is how you percieve yourself, it's now how you actually are.
Secondly, your signature is correct, to a point. If your bicycle is slowing down traffic, it has no place on that road. I see too many imbeciles riding bikes trying to cause wrecks by riding down highways with no adequate shoulder or area for them to ride. And there are tons of bike paths that you can use that cars aren't permitted on. Other than that, have fun on your bike.
Check your power settings. I have an Athlon64 Mobile 3000+ notebook and I'll get over 2.5 hours on a battery charge doing mundane things. Make sure you have the newest driver from AMD, too. I know there was a problem with the speed-stepping when I originally got my laptop.
It's not. It's because the cop can't see what you're doing, and that's an active way of preventing him from doing that. That's the reason cops ALWAYS have backup if they pull you over at night. More than one. They need to see what's going on and be in charge of the situation. If someone's trying to blind you with a laser pointer, there's no guarantee what else they may or may not do.
I think it's a case of idiot civilians playing armchair officer.

It's a big freakin' operation. They have multi-site redundancy, running it all on consumer-level hardware.
I'd find a link, but I'm lazy.
Stupid Mac fans. Did you not read his whole post? How he said "Photoshop does what it does because it was originally a Mac OS application and the MDI window emulates the actions of the Mac OS desktop.
in Mac OS each application has it's own virtual desktop. When you click on a Window it brings the ENTIRE application to the front, instead of just the particular window you clicked on."?
Stop being a twit.
In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!
The point is, where are you going to get the energy to crack the water? That's the rub. The only way to do that efficiently now is in larger scale operations, and that's what the research is focusing on.
Confrontation's a fact of life. Sometimes people will do stupid shit, and you need to call them on it. Otherwise, we get the kind of society that we are currently living in... all kinds of goobers saying "Me first, fuck everyone else." Better to teach your kids how to PROPERLY handle a disagreement now, anyway.
It's not only yourself you're hurting by not standing up for your rights... it's everyone.
How the hell did this get modded up? No, you don't give up the right to be credited as you wish. You may put things in the open, but the GPL is meant to protect free software from actions EXACTLY like "[grabbing] your code, rename & repackage it, strip many of your identifying marks from it, & sell it for a million dollars".
I call it Linux because it's easier. GNU/Linux may be more correct since it includes the whole toolchain and such, but I know what went into the system. A whole different beast than using freely licensed code in a way it wasn't meant to be used. Get a clue.
So you're saying that this costs a little more than $3/hr to relax in the tropics? And less than that if you stay longer? That's cheaper than going to a movie. And I'm betting the food is less expensive and better on the whole. If I lived in Europe, you can bet that I'd go see what it's all about.
Hear hear! I actually have basic cable, since it costs me $3 a month more than it would for just my cable internet connection, and I have a MythTV box. I just haven't seen fit to buy a tuner card for it yet. I just watch my DVD's which I ripped to the hard drive, listen to the music, read the headlines, check the weather and play games on it. Add the codecs, and I haven't found a video it won't play. (it uses mplayer to play videos)
Firstly, I think you missed the word 'anti' in your post, as in 'anti-MS people'.
Secondly, because MythTV offers me so many more capabilities than the Windows Media Center edition that it's not even funny. I'll deal with OS quirks to have higher movie compression, multiple format playback, games modules, weather modules, news modules, etc, etc.
But for someone who just wants to sit and be spoon-fed entertainment, the MS solution would work.

What endianness are you using?

Which also reminds me that the Gnome folks have nothing to say when making fun of KDE app naming :)

Yeah, well, that's the gamble that the provider is taking :) It's usually right, so a few outliers won't screw things up too badly.

So X-Rays and gamma rays are also light? How about not. 'light' is made up of the wavelengths we can percieve with our eyes. IR is radiation. Period.
