I got the new interface and I noticed this as well..I like it. I've used GMail now for three years and I like it and this makes it even better. It kind of works like the Gmail app on my Blackberry with the prefetch.
It also felt weird looking down at my Gmail notifier in Firefox and seeing it grayed out, I was in too much of a habit relying on that for when I had new mail. Oh well, its all for the best!
I am a recent alumni of this school and this news really didn't surprise me. The principal was there and in the same position when I was up there. She had a reputation of being, well, not so nice and she always wore skirts, whatever you want to make of that. This has been a bad year PR wise for the district that started with a nasty two week teacher strike and a $8 million dollar fieldhouse that has a slew of constructional faults two years after completetion. Now they are raising taxes and have to cut a few million from the budget and they are talking about curriculum cuts. Looks like time finally caught up from them.
I think what the kid went through was total BS, someone got lazy and or a big head.
Isn't that how you always paid? I vaguely remember that you had to pay your monthly fee to a seperate pay-pal like agency who gave the funds over to allofmp3.
On a related note; can you get around this and just use paypal?
Yeah, they used Chronopay I believe and it acted like Paypal.
I use XROST too now for the workaround with my Visa, so Visa got no where on this ban.
I work in IT Support and if I get an email from someone from someone in the company and its trouble to status update, I will answer ASAP. If its an email from an outside vendor or party, I usually wait to respond to them until I know I have free time. That is how I prioritize.
What if someone squeezed XP onto an early P3 and then unknowingly (hopefully not) installs IE7 and now their browsing is slower? Did 7's system requirements change since 6?
I agree that its time to move away from the albatross that is version 6, but pushing a version change automatically seems a bit much, IMO. This will just make the common folk more confused. I remember the first time I loaded the beta and was looking for the one toolbar. I had to fool around in the registry to get it back. I didn't care much if it was there since I use Firefox, but for the average user who has been using IE for years, it will be a big deal.
Why does WGA have to talk back home? "Your copy of Windows may have been, according to our records. ARRG. Press "OK" to uninstall Windows."
Nah, I'm sure they just flash a scary popup to the general public and they have to phone in to get ti fixed and that's some nice $$$ right there.
But I likened buying from allofmp3 as to traveling to a foreign country and buying a souvenir or something and then traveling back home to the USA. It's not a crime to buy something overseas (for most things) and then bring it here. Does it change in Internet land, since I'm still buying something from Russia and storing here in my PC in the USA?
In order to circumvent piracy, they try to be sneaky and put this rootkit garbage on people's PC's whenever they PAY for the CD. Now they just got in a bigger mess and the result is that if you wanted to the "right" thing and buy a CD, you're at bigger risk if you wanted to download it. Hilarious.
This reminds me of those terrible "Enhanced CD's" Whatever to just popping a CD in and it plays without trouble or some stupid Macromedia application launching?
I'll admit I wasn't that interested in seeing the movie, but last night when I was reading a forum and saw all the good things about "Firefly", I had to check the series out. I grabbed the torrent and was able to watch the Pilot tonight. I came away interested and can't wait to continue on.
I'm more of a Star Wars fan and I watched a few episodes of ST: TNG back when it was on sysndication a few years ago, but I really liked the dialogue and western feel of "Firefly". Typical Fox mishandling of a fan favorite series.
I could drink a slurpee or two every day. Currently, my local 7-11 has a killer lineup, IMO. They have their new Frawg flavor (green sour apple..its not bad, but I mixed it with Blue Rasberry) Dr. Pepper, Blue Rasberry, and Pepsi.
I rarely go to the movies anymore outside of getting paid to go there (counting customers, recording the reaction to the trailers, etc) by several marketing research firms.
If there is a movie out I or my girlfriend want to see, often we don't get to see it because of our conflicting schedules or I may get to the movies to do my job, but I don't watch the movie if its one me and her want to see together. But we don't feel rushed because we know the DVD will be right around the corner. Then we can watch whenever, do whatever during it, etc.
I'm not sure if this will matter much until movies start hitting mainsteam on HD-DVD. Then I could see some confusion, especially by little Johnny's parents when they buy the latest HD-DVD movie for him under the assumption the Xbox could play them, then only to realize they have to do something special to play them.
Meanwhile, they also have a PS3 and a Blu-ray version of the same movie is out and they don't need anything extra.
I like your explanation.
I also like it because it sounds different, at least better than Windows 2006 or something. Plus everytime I thought of the Longhorn name, I thought of the cheese.
Perhaps there are some Americans in the town where I live, perhaps they are the minority in MY world, perhaps they are the ones who should bugger off back to their own country and leave us British citizens alone...
Are Americans invading the UK with a hostile takeover in mind? No, so why do you think we are bothering you?
I would sell the nine other iPod's, I know people still would defiantly want one or two. Then maybe I would sell the iTune song card since I don't use iTunes anyway and never plan to.
If they designed this promotion to get me to switch over or join iTunes, it failed.
Shipping private records through UPS? I've been inside the hubs and the way some packages are handled is just nasty. Combine that with poor packaging, and you get what you pay for.
Was there ever a XP Evaluation Edition? I have a Windows 2003 Eval Edition on CD (legal)and I program that patches the winlogin.exe (or something similar) to disable activation and such.
I play consoles and PC games (though not as much as I used to for both of them) but for consoles if you want the latest and greatest hardware, you have to wait a couple years. With a PC and some money, you can make upgrades. Plus I do everything else on my PC, why not game?
That is why people, er..elitist nerds don't like these movies. They babble on about pointless nitpicks just because they want some reason to dislike the movie so they can impress people saying they hated something cool.
Then there's the people who want to change everything, i.e hated the CGI in the prequels, but want more of it in an updated Ep. 4-6. Huh? Face it, not one of us here could make a movie that could come close to Lucas' jock.
I wish there would be a "Back to My Google" link when viewing an email messsage from the personalized page. Also, you can't delete the emails?
Google isn't going anywhere. They just need to put an overlay on the satellite views on Google Maps, and I will always use it.
There are certain movies I deem that have to be watched in theaters. Of course, Star Wars is one of them. Maybe people are downloading this to say they have a bootleg of the last Star Wars. Then 50 years from now, the story will propagate in that the person had the original bootleg.
Other than that, might as well wait ~6 months for the DVD.

When I worked on the IT staff at a hospital, I had to wear a dress shirt, Dockers, and a tie. Not really dressy-dressy, but I didn't mind it.

Teleportation is cheaper. ;)

I have come to the conclusion that the vast majority of /. does not understand this movie.
Here's one tip: Pick up an attention span.
