This means that Linux is only used by werewolves! I knew it!
Seriously though, people need to learn that software is a tool. For example, houses would never get built without hammers, but you still need skilled workers putting in the hours to get it done.
I stand corrected. I was only saying that I would like to see something that verifies this story. I am a viewer of NBC10 in Philadelphia and I am used to their overblown investigative reporting. I also should not have used the NYT as an example of a valid news source, as I am not a fan.
I honestly believe that every plane that lands safely is a good thing. Are Air Marshalls supposed to be spotting future threats, or are they supposed to ensure the safety of the passengers on the flight?
I know that it looks that way, but I did not mean to say that only eastern news sources are acceptable. I spent 15 of the best years of my life in Michigan, and the Chicago Tribune and LA Times are just as valid of a source as the papers I listed.
So the Denver news is now a reliable source of information? Let's see some Washington Post or NYT article being linked to.
Personally I disagree with quotas in law enforcement, as I do not think that they help catch the bad guys out there. I do think there is a lot more to the story than TFA indicates.
There are some procedures where surgeons intentionally leave metal in the body. Also, the problem that TFA cites is size. Weaving ferrous metal into cloth and such seems like it could also be a size concern.
I remember reading all of the excited reviews of this product when it was first released. Since then popularity has dropped off significantly, though it still holds a following. I do not want one, as I prefer having real buttons.
If they go through with the lawsuit and the defendant is found guilty, could he have to pay all of the court costs including the plaintiffs' lawyers? Vice versa, could this end up being cheap for Hogan if he wins?
Good point. This reeks of a PR move to boost sagging stock. In today's economy, I think that having a low units shipped count for your sales indicates efficiency.
Why doesn't the EFF provide experts to file briefs outlining the flaws in RIAA's claims? Do lower courts not accept amicus curiae briefs?
I agree that there is a problem with judges not compeltely understanding technology, but they are taught to be open minded. Remember that a lot of the people dues by the RIAA are guilty. Just because many of us feel things should be different does not change the fact that some of these people are violating the law. However I do not believe that the legal actions of the RIAA are in the spirit of American jurisprudence, nor do they meet the required burden of proof.
I agree with parent. I edit the same documents using OoO 2.0, Word 2003, and Word 97 without problems. They can all open the same.doc files. I do not use Word's XML document type, however, as I do not see a big advantage in using it.
Like many geeks, I am registered at an insane number of websites. I only remember being able to use audio support for a captcha once (I think it was an HP website). For me computers are very empowering as I find it much easier to type than to write by hand, especially in class. Other people have a really hard time. Developers need to learn to test their sites for accesibility, just like new buildings are tested.
I actually did not quote Maddox anywhere in my post, so I do not understand how I am using his words instead of my own. As a matter of fact, I did not use any of his words at all! I made a sarcastic remark in my own words and indicated that there exists an article that extends my viewpoint with which I agree.
Here is something that he has never talked about but I consider a huge issue: people with disabilities cannot use a lot of this "2.0" crap. I have a hard enough time reading the skewed letters and numbers they have to prevent robots from signing up for 10,000,000 e-mail accounts (learning disability) but the blind have it a whole lot worse. What little screen readers could do with real honest html pages is now shot to hell. I also find it harder to navigate these pages using a keyboard, forcing users to use a mouse instead of tabbing through pages. As we all know, computer mice are among the least ergonomic things ever created.
These will be the first robots trained to say "I SURRENDER!" in 27 languages! I also think that the 23 degrees of motion and gripping hands will be used to hold a white flag.
We may jest, but the French do have a long history of engineering. From the Eiffel Tower to Airbus, they have a good track record. I believe that the first ever hot air baloon flight was also there in the 18th century.
I am not usually a fan of the French, but I have to admit that they do a pretty good job of building stuff. Of course, I still prefer American engineering, but we seem to be lagging in the robot business.
I know, but the paper copy of that article had a whole section devoted to it. My point is that speculation about press releases does not an article make.

I am not saying that, but I would like to see some verification outside of one news source.
RTFA! The article clearly says that thieir quota is one per month.
TFA also says that this system only exists in Vegas. They should have no trouble finding strange activity there!

But then they couldn't steal surgical supplies! My blanket of surgical guaze would forever remain incomplete.
Developing power supplies that do not utilize such an inefficient transition from AC to DC.
That would explain this!
So do you think that OpenOffice has similar flaws waiting to be exploited? Does that program provide true security or security through obscurity?

I have good timing. I it incredibly refreshing to see Google doing something to help those with severe disabilities.

You should see the hordes of animals at De Gualle.

I agree with parent. Maddox had a rant a while back (that I can't seem to find) about how flashy interfaces suck.
