Or memory replacement?
What part of the brain is required for understanding how to replace batteries in electronic devices 'cause that's all we'll need in a few hundred years.
A properly designed circuit could easily deal with that. Or else the devices could be designed to flip themselves as the tide direction changes (think of a wind vane).
So do you think those idiots actually printed up that petition? If they did then I'm going to start a petition to get them to stop wasting my money for their little press conferences.
It's gotta be just stacks of blank copier paper (maybe a few printed pages on top).
Blech. The only door Flash-dependent sites direct people towards is the exit.
Flash designers and the corporate suits who pay them like to think all that work and money is attracting customers. Sorry, no.
I take a small amount of satisfaction from clicking the "Skip" link whenever I encounter one of those Flash splash screens. My only wish is that the developers or the site owners could see how many visitors skipped their little animation.
So are you saying the feel of a modern keyboard (even the cool and expensive ones) are comparable to a Sinclair? Who cares if the underlying technology is similar. I think they've improved the tactile feedback some since then.
This isn't a troll--I was just wondering. Would OpenOffice's macro language be useful to a virus writer? Are macros embedded in documents or are they seperate files that have to be run explicitly by the user?
I'm thinking your criticism of the parent poster was a little hasty.
IRM in Office 2003 is entirely optional and really only makes sense in a closed environment where the office suite of choice will be mandated by the company. Without reading all the details of IRM, I suspect that a protected document in one company will not be accessible by another company (even by Office 2003 with IRM enabled) unless some sort of "translation" takes place where the document is converted to an unprotected document.
Nothing in the article implies that Office 2003 documents in general will be protected or encrypted.
Well, maybe a listing of the folders under "Program Files" on my laptop will give you a clear idea of whether I use a lot of different programs:

My downloads folder is filled with additional installers for programs I've either removed or haven't installed yet.
Is my machine slow and bogged down? It can be at times. But I accept that and deal with it. I like playing with new software so the benefits outweigh the negatives for me. But if my machine crashed all the time due to all this software, you wouldn't see all those programs installed. I'd pop in the Dell "Restore" disk, reinstall whatever I need to work, and leave it at that.
I'm addicted to shareware so yes, I do install a lot of applications on my machines. I try things out and will often remove them so I tend to make a mess out of my hard drives.
I wasn't claiming NT and it's derivatives are rock stable, I was just saying that I don't think it's typical for the OS to crash due to a crappy application. The application will suffer and maybe other apps will also suffer due to DLL conflicts but I'm not accustomed to having to shut down the OS to deal with these problems.
Sure, I've had inexplicable trouble copying files over the network and I've suffered BSOD's during CD burning or ZoneAlarm monitoring, but those are different kinds of issues from my applications crashing hard. At least when my CAD software crashes the rest of my apps don't seem to notice.
I can't recall an instance when an application took down any of my NT/2000/XP machines. I'm not sure Linux and Mac have as much of an advantage here as you suggest.

Maybe it WAS greenish 130 millions years ago and it only "recently" turned purple.
It's been a while since I read that book but I think the concept there was more along the lines of this.
There's a PowerPoint presentation that contains some embedded video of this technology at Philips. Follow the link on the right hand side of the page.
How could SiteFinder break parts of the Internet? I'm not doubting you--I guess I just don't understand the problem fully.
Hmmm, that's right around the time I started using the Internet. Yep. It was a red-letter September.
How did the CC company know the stuff came from you?
Do you really think they're actively filtering searches for pictures of MOAB bombs?
Try searching for "daisy cutter" (a similar bomb) and you'll find plenty of images.
I'm not sure why a search for "moab bomb" turns up nothing but I seriously doubt Google has purposely filtered out the results.

Maybe because Microsoft doesn't publish the offending code so it's impossible to critique it in any way.
Man, that's hot.

Anything that can make people reconsider Flash-dependent websites is good.
Taking 1/2 billion dollars out of Microsoft's pile is good.
A ridiculous software patent owned by someone who refuses to license it or develop with it is bad.
The fear of infringing on some obscure patent when I decide to write the application that's supposed to carry me into retirement is bad.
I need booze. Now.
He isn't the guy who crashed all those probes into Mars, is he?

What about OpenOffice viruses?

Ouch. Caught by process of elimination.
Heh heh. Hell is as scary as hell. Who woulda thunk it?
