Pretty slim until Universal releases their exclusive movie rights to it. So we may not see another series until the movies are over and done with, if at all... unfortunately:(
Troll? I was referring to their webserver... I was actually interested in at least having a look at the latest release since I haven't looked at any in a while. That was pure irritation at the wonderful slashdot effect.
Mmmm... fresh Opera

Opera 8 Released
·
· Score: 1, Informative
Mmmm, that's a steaming pile of Opera...
Seriously, I can't get anything more than a headline or two. What an excellent release, thanks/.!:-/
Another poster suggested moving side to side.... but besides that, it's not like you *have* to use the technology from the screens. Actually, I'm not sure about the details of this particular screen, but I would imagine it would have to be enabled in software before it did anything - a configuration setting for pieces of software which support it. So leave the setting off, I guess, and you're no worse off than you are now...
Except there was a slashdot story about a Sharp laptop with those screens, not that long ago, with Linux pre-installed. I've already forgotten the name of the place doing it though... some other Linux distro...
Uh... besides scratches, there's another pretty important thing called alignment. Does DVD cleaner disk refer to those stupid discs with a little brush on them? If so, what are you thinking? I've never understood how those things could remain on the market. Spinning a little brush at high speed and letting it hit the lens - that has to be incredibly great for its alignment... Sure it might clean it, but it's bound to have some effect.
Heh, there's another reason they weren't designed to - it's a pain in the proverbial buttocks. See John Carmack's old entry here towards the bottom about experimenting with SMP for Quake 3. We may eventually see more programs/games taking advantage of it, but as long as its a pain, it will be a slow progression....
Here's actual information related to its current legality in Canada... right here. It is currently legal to download personal copies. Whether that status will change, who knows...
Okay, mine was a large exageration, but the OP's analogy was a bit off. A shotgun blast really doesn't fit... regardless of how badly I exagerated for disinterest in figuring out the correct scale:P
Uhmm, wouldn't blocking an entire block of 180,000 IPs be more akin to swatting a fly with a square mile sheet than a firing at it with a shotgun?

Uh, that helps absolutely none in this particular case. If you'd bother to read the text, and it wasn't even a full article, some OTHER company/person was responsible for 180,000 IPs getting blocked, including his subnets which had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with it.... His company's customer service had squat to do with it. Neither did his ISP's really...
I'm with you totally there. A lot of the "dumb" comedies, like Dumb and Dumber/etc, where they're just running around making complete asses of themselves.... I find funny, but I have a really hard time watching. I rarely watch movies like that on my own. I don't have as much of an issue with the other stuff though...
Uh, no? You obviously haven't read up much. They have done studies which have shown when people learn two or more languages and are fluent in them, both sides are used. After a large stroke which wipes out the main language center on one side, they may still have some or all of their ability in their secondary language.
We know this because people who have had their speech centre knocked out by a stroke don't recover any form of speech. Other bits of the brain don't take over to compensate.
I think strokes typically happen to only one side at a time - with that in mind, they can possibly recover some form of speech, but only because the speech center mirrored on the opposite hemisphere has not been damaged and can still possibly learn/grow some. So technically you are correct, if it's knocked out on both sides, but it's not an automatic 100% forever loss (though maybe a 80-95%? loss since the opposite side doesn't tend to pick it up as well as the other did in its youth...)
After looking at the "Untitled (The Sky is Blue)" pictures, I have this strange urge to watch Lain again.... For artwork it's pretty neat, but I can't help thinking "mmmm, radiation".
Well of course it's normal. LCD manufacturers typically write off a large portion of what they make because of minor defects, right? So what... now Sony has decided to accept lower quality parts?
That's a good thing overall I would think.... less waste=lower cost... but they should give the consumer the option of what they want, maybe with a minor price reduction for the more defective version.
Emerging gnome is great and all, and the first install is fine.... upgrading is another story though. Every single time I've tried updating gnome to a more recent version using emerge, I've been left with a gimped system which was only repairable by backporting and/or starting over.
There should be a single emerge gnome-2.8, or gnome-2.6 or something, but no... it's a pain in the ass.
I'll admit I didn't really think too long and hard about that particular point because I didn't really believe that, but... if you had stopped to think for a second you would have realized that it doesn't necessarily have to be a dinosaur bone just because it's too large to fit in a helicopter. Case in point: this. I would imagine mammoth bones could be sufficiently large as well.

I for one bow to our new corporate overloAds.

Ah sorry, kinda out of it. A setting wouldn't help there, no... my mistake for missing that part of the post.

Sorry, you are correct of course. I did not realize the ISP itself had been slow in responding... my mistake regarding that.
