I think it would gain ground if Symbian releases a library that provides direct access to its core facilities such as changing the screen saver, the background images, and replacing the application menu.
Well... Those are exactly the kind of things I do not want a random application to touch. If there is good reason why
a 3rd party application should get to set my phone wallpaper, I'd like to hear it. I'm not picking a fight here, I'd really like to know if you have a reason for a move that (in my book) sets way for an IE-like experience on my phone.
And the Firefox developers aren't even trying to fix the bugs people want fixed.
I've watched Mozilla development for a few years now, and I can tell you
that this is actually a good thing... By listening to everyone you end up with (among a million other things) a kitchen sink. The developers must follow their own vision, otherwise there is no vision. If that vision turns out to be wrong, someone should fork and prove it.
Now, I'm not saying your pet enhancement-bug isn't important, just that the devs have decided it's not worth the amount of work at the moment. Remember that there are over 5000 open non-enhancement bugs on the firefox product only...
Also, the enhancement you're talking about is going to be very, very difficult to implement without breaking stuff. I'm 99% sure that it's not even possible to do it without breaking some valid web-pages with onload and onunload javascript (and no, Opera hasn't succeeded in this, see this for an example). Unless you have a solution for those problems, I suggest you choose a different tone for your critique...
Parent is currently modded Insightful, and I just can't see why.
1. proprietary? It's freely available. Maybe you meant it's not standardized?
2. web browser? It's a UI definition language for the mozilla platform, nothing to do with browsers per se.
The 2000 km/h figure is wrong: the speed depends on the depth of the ocean, but doesn't exceed 700-800 km/h (wikipedia says 700, I've seen 800 somewhere else).
Anyway, at least in India they had enough time to warn people, but it seems that didn't happen.
As Linux doesn't have GDI+ I doubt very much that it will work with Mono.
I believe this is wrong. GDI+ has been implemented in Mono. The Win32 version uses the native GDI-implementation and the Linux implementation (libgdiplus.so) is based on Cairo. I haven't used GDI+ on linux, so I have no idea if it's complete.
There is another problem with porting Paint.NET though: Ink, the TabletPC SDK, which is heavily used according to the creators of Paint.NET, is not part of Mono. Not yet at least.
Well, if you had risked it, Google would have told you that the only one saying that 'porn dwarfs the movie industry' is the porn industry itself. The revenue figures for the US porn industry that I found were between 0.5 and 10 billion.
Read this article to find out why there is such a big difference in the figures (it's a little old, but informative).
Unions have no place in the modern workplace and are a breeding ground for mediocrity.
I've always looked at it like this: To get good deals in the marketplace you need a good agent (you can be the agent yourself, of course, but that's not your core competence, is it?).
If you're in a market where there is real differentiation (your skill difference compared to the next guy is actually valuable to the buyer), like in the market for top football players, then you probably should have an agent that works only for you.
If, on the other hand, you can't differentiate that much (no one is interested in paying large amounts for small differences in skill), you should pool your resources and have an agent represent you and a group of others. It does not really matter if you're the best systems administrator in the world - even with a top agent you're not going to get a substantially better deal than the 1000th best systems admin.
Unions are just that, agents in the market for work. As such they have a more important place in the workplace than ever before. Some agents are of course bad, corrupted even, but that's how it is in professional football too...
If you think that your union is just a breeding ground for mediocrity, then fire your agent/union, get an agent that looks for your interest in a way that maximises profit for you. A word of warning though: Workers without a good agent have no place in the modern workplace.
Now without unsubscribing the list would look like:
1. do not unsubscribe.
2. spammer A continues to spam.
3. Spammer A sells his list to Spammers B, C, D, etc.
4. Mail from Spammers B, C, D, etc start hitting your inbox.
How is it different?
No, I don't use the unsubscribe links either, but I don't believe the spammers really care wether you read your email or not. I mean, why not sell your address anyway, even though you haven't confirmed your existence?
"I don't even consider firing my 12 gauge from my balcony a crime. Shooting someone is what I consider a crime. You can be dangerous firing a gun in a city, or dangerous firing a gun in rural areas. But firing a shotgun in a city in of itself is not nessesarily dangerous."
How deranged must a person be if he thinks speed limits are set mainly to allow cops to harrass him?
One thing I can guarantee is that if those same people went over the XP code base... the bug count would be MUCH higher.
You can? A guarantee from an anonymous coward... Well, I guess we can trust you, since you're going to lose so much face if the opposite is found to be true...
This maybe a nitpick, but actually they just claim their assumptions are positive for MS. They could of course be right, but personally I don't think they're showing the whole picture.
A TCO study has so many moving parts that one can rig it to prove just about anything - and still more or less truthfully claim that many assumptions were "factored in to tip the scales towards" the unwanted result.
I don't think a generic TCO study has much value anyway, situation-specific variables are just too large and, well, variable...
Sure you can, bugzilla or the news group (netscape.public.mozilla.calendar) would be the correct places to do it. However, the problem with Calendar development isn't lack of ideas, it's lack of developers.
The guy specifically asked for open source batch conversion. Foobar is an ok player but it's not OSS and I doubt it supports batch jobs. It's also Windows only.
Maybe you're right, and he should just find a better player - I don't think it's Foobar though.
Still, I can't understand how this could be illegal even with software patent laws? The guy just implemented a (soon-to-be) standard. he even used the reference implementation as base!
Either the parent is not Insightful or I'm somehow mistaken. In the latter case, please enlighten me.
Slashdot Mirror
Grandparent gets "+5, insightful" for advising people to trash web-servers and the actually insightful replies get nothing...
I don't think you should set maxrequests to 30. If everyone did this, 10 simultaneous users would mean 300 connections.

To answer your question: no, She should not.
I believe that the assumption "there are 5 billion people on the geostationary orbit height" might be wrong.

Sorry, they're actors ( BZGZD A'GAANZ = Peter O'Toole gave it away). But it's not that easy - they key is different for all the pairs.
So, the US does not pay for the education nor costs of retirement. The US just gets the taxes.
Could you point the exact problem there, please?

they were offered a deal - or at least I can't think of a reason NFL wouldn't ask for bids. EA just put more money on the table.

Close, but no cigar. As a matter of fact it's Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister. Trust me, I heard it from a reliable source.
