Only the older mice use Mouseware. MX1000 should use Setpoint. Never tried mwadvanced on the MX1000, though, but I guess it should work with most mice.
Some (Non-Logitech) guy wrote an alternative to Setpoint/MW called Logigamer. It lets you among other things set up a button profile for normal desktop use, and another for gaming. Check it out on http://www.logigamer.com./
Microsoft just need to pay people to put the "PlaysForSure" logo on their music stores, and wait for the consumers (You know, the non-Slashdot crowd) to grow tired of different formats and confusion. All they need is to see the PlaysForSure logo on their player and the place they can buy music, and Microsoft is back to their comfortable 95% market share again.
I don't know where you are getting your definition, but this is both "editorial control" AND censorship. To censore is simply to suppress a statement because of the content of the statement.
And yes, that means
- To fire someone from a magazine because of the content of an article is censorship, but not necessarily a bad thing.
- A parent stopping his kid from running around the house screaming obscene phrases is also censorship, but also known as "raising a kid". You hardly ever hear it used in this context, though.
- Stopping someone from preaching evolution in a church where Darwin is synonymous with Satan is censorship.
- Stopping someone from preaching creationism in school is censorship.
The word "censorship" does not indicate if the statement censored is true or false, right or wrong. Just that it is suppressed.
The Boy Scouts, or any private group for that matter, may exclude whomever they so choose, for any reason. This particular group does not believe that homosexuality or atheism are acceptable lifestyles.
Who are YOU to impose your beliefs upon them? Isn't that the very thing you people are fond of accusing 'conservative' groups of doing?
That means you would also defend their right to exclude blacks if they wanted that? Or someone with a physical handicap, like being in a wheelchair? Or is that different? How?
It doesn't need to have a connection. Every time you make an obscure reference, you tickle a specific "I am of the selected few who took the reference" nerve with people who recognize it, and they mod it up. You see it a lot with movies: Cameos and references can make an average movie cool (and you see a few laughing extra loud while looking around to see if anyone else "got it"), but also quite frequently you see it on Slashdot. Mentioning "TPS report" or a red Swingline stapler in ANY thread, no matter how unrelated, scores you an instant +5 funny. The Slashdot Polls? Vote for the most obscure option you recognize. It just makes us feel SMART.
The chain of who-knows-who of gmail invites is a keeper, though. Even though many get them from online forums, it is the Best Thing Ever to see connections between people.
I'm using the aKregator in beta 1 of KDE 3.4 right now. Current version is beta 8, and it is still not good. The one I used untill yesterday (beta 6) had the annoyance that it would stay in the background gobbeling cpu even after selecting quit and it dissapeared from the systray. Beta 8 fixed that, but now clicking the systray icon doesn't work all the time. It says x number of new posts, I click, and absolutely nothing happens. Click-click-click? No. Wait five minutes, and it works again. I suspect it happens when it goes through the list of feeds, but it is damn annoying, and was not in beta 6.
Still better than Liferea and Imendio Blam, though.
Mr Jones, are these your
knockers?
Oh dear, your mellons have spilled out!
The old "the more obscure the reference, the more smart the moderator feels by spotting it"-trick?;) For those of you who wonder, this is from a government-run sitcom shown in the background in one or two panels in "V for Vendetta". Can't get more obscure than that.
I was just reading through V for Vendetta again yesterday, and fear that they will mess this one up quite bad. "From Hell" didn't go particulary well, but it has a quite complex storyline and many characters, and in the movie some characters were merged in to one, trying to be less confusing. V might have a simpler story line, but the mood the drawings set is so much more important. Have a look at some of the panels to see what I mean.
But oh, it would be nice if they could pull it off, though.
I don't know where you live, but it is not West- or Northern Europe. Yes, customers get pissed off by dead pixels, but because of the production costs of LCD displays, their only option is to pay more for a guaranteed pixel perfect monitor. That is why it is called "pixel policy".
A dealer calling their distributor every time he gets a LCD with pixel faults, will get very very tired, as mostly warranty is handled by the manufacturer directly, not the distributor. If the dealer yells and screams enough, the distributor's only option then is to try to get the money back from the manufacturer. The manufacturer will then of course say "Hey, we have a pixel policy, didn't you read it?".
Check this document (Warning, PDF) from Philips, explaining what pixel faults are, and what the policies are on their current line of products. As you see, only three models have a zero pixel fault policy.
Actually, in the European release of the movie all references to Taco Bell were changed to Pizza Hut. Guess because Pizza Hut is so much bigger than Taco Bell here.
In other news, Icculus just announced America's Army 2.2.1, "for the first time (..) hosting a BitTorrent". As the number of legitimate uses increase, attacking the technology itself becomes harder. It is a race, really. Harder for draconian ISPs to have a "No bittorrent" policy too if a number of customers can point to their legal use of it.
For the non geek, there are only two web browsers, Microsoft and Netscape.
I work at a helpdesk. Among the non-geek, there are two web browsers: "Internet" and "Internet Explorer". Both groups recognise it by the blue "e" icon.
What are game designers thinking when they plan development timelines? Why aren't they factoring in testing for issues like these?
Game designers are probably thinking "Dear God NO! Give us just another week, PLEASE".
Those who determine when the game should be released, on the other hand, knows what a world of difference on the bottom line it makes to release a game after xmas contra before xmas.

Thank you, Evan. Good times for my favourite browser. You know Ivor Hewitt just added a Firefox-style adblock plugin to Konqueror too?

Sounds perfect for a Gentoo live cd ;)
Two thumbs up. Thank you :)
