I think that if someone offered me a napkin, I'd expect cloth not paper. To me, serviettes are the trashy, probably free, paper versions of the posh item.
Ahh, I see the crux of the problem: if they were to want more trade with China rather than the US then this wouldn't have arisen. The bulk of the World's IP sits in the US and the 'owners' want to protect it. Consequently, any country that wants trade with the US must first acknowledge that the IP is indeed property that the 'owners' are entitled to exploit it.
I read the article expecting to be told this is the card that I can't live without because it's a whopping.002% faster even than it's nearest rival. This seems to be 10%-20% better depending on the test. Kind of impressive. Do I need it? No.
is the essence of this matter, imo. In the sense that the Net is a necessary part of any nation's infrastructure I think that the provision of Net services should be regulated and in the absence of competetive provision should be provided by government. The downside is that once the government gets its fingers in it's hard to keep them out. What we really need here is regulatory support without any regulatory repression. Rock and a hard place anyone?
There are a few Linux-based alternatives over on LinuxDevices.com (http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT8728350077.html). My only question about the Zaurus is "Where's the Bluetooth?". I couldn't consider pouring money into a PDA which was lacking BT.
My first thoughts were "Hideous" but it grew on me as I read the article. I was surprised that he felt it underperformed the 15" iMac, which has the 800MHz G4, so I have to guess there are some shoddy components around the motherboard area. Still, if deskspace were at a premium I'd definitely be tempted and I know several people who'll drool at this model.
A troll if ever I saw one. Your mother has no problems at all with any of the files in her Library directory; as far as she's concerned it doesn't even exist. What she does have problems with is accessibility and for that there the accessibity options... Just choose black and white from the accessibity options and she'll be happy with her new Mac.
Maybe when you see her delight even you'll think that you need to get a mac, dude.
While the thought of this little baby makes me drool, Sony's history on DRM is enough to make me sit back and wait for the new and inevitable Apple risponse with.11g. There's been so much talk of new iPods with 40G Tosh drives, Bluetooth, WiFi etc that something mighty fine must be imminent.
We know why he really wants all this peroxide: he's tired of his rep as a programming genius and has decided to spend the rest of his life as a dumb blonde.
I have a drawer with about 200 3.25 floppies in from the last time I stocked up - about 15 years ago - and every time I come to buy CDs I wonder whether I'm heedlessly stockpiling as I think of buying into DVD and DVDR. These days I mostly use a USB drive and, occasionally, a CDR where I would have used a floppy. Try finding a motherboard to allow boot from USB drive, though. There are times when only a floppy will do the job and one of my old machines doesn't know about boot from CD options. Anyone remember disk-doublers?
The most typical question I get when I've shown Linux to a new user is "So where's my C-Drive?". Basic usage of Linux on the desktop is now 'there', I think, but as soon as you have to look under the hood or have to think in terms of admin and root priveleges to install something it can get scary. Paradoxically, WinXP may be opening people up to these concepts. I believe that for Linux really to take off and have a hope of supplanting Windows mainstream acceptance it needs to be used in schools when kids are taking their first accepting, open-minded, faltering steps and we'll eventually be hearing the question "What's this C-Drive thing?"
About a year ago in England a law was passed permitting UK police to carry electronic fingerprint scanners. It is, of course, a criminal offence to refuse to be scanned if an officer chooses to exercise his right to do so. Couple that with their right to search you if they have a whim to do so (sorry, that'd be justifiable cause in legalese) and I think the introduction of ID cards and their ilk is, mostly, an irrelevance: they can already do whatever they wish.

If it's wrong to sit down and start coding, I don't want to be right.
Seems perfectly plain to me, perhaps it is *you* who need schooling!
Can someone tell me whether "it" or "you" is supposed to be the pronoun here? I reckon it's "it" in which case "need" should be "needs".
They don't bat an eye at helping yourself to serviettes or sugar but a little juice gets a 'leeching' tag?

I guess they're plugging into some code similar to this 'translator' version which is online (http://kerry.lothrop.de/chef/) and does the same.

Get a Mac, dude. :)
