Diesel engines are way better at mileage, and is significantly cheaper at the pump....
significantly cheaper at the pump because the gasoline is heavily taxed. At least that's the case in Hong Kong, where the price of gasoline is 2-300% of that of diesel. Otherwise, I think they should be priced similar in terms of crude oil and refinery cost.
The search is the exact same thing that I upgraded and am using Vista. Win7 made it even more responsive, with the embedded Last Opened Documents in the Start Menu items, it save me some even more clicks.
Ubuntu LTS is to be supported for 5 years, but only with limited backported software, not even the most important software package like major upgrade of gnome, firefox, open office are always available in the backport repro.
while Every release of Windows is LTS, and as long as 10 years! Also, new core software upgrade are usually offered even after a long time. (IE8, Live Messenger 9, Office 2007 on XP, a 6 years old product!)
On Linux? Even if you get the source, the chance of compiling the latest software bits on a 6 years old box is unlikely...Either kernel updates are needed, or glibc, or missing libraries, or the dependent libraries needs new GCC...usually end up upgrading GCC+Glibc+Kernel+whatsoever to get some new software. Or to put it simply, either spend a few days to figure that out, compile and install the dependencies else where, or to upgrade the distro. Hey but I just want that new software, but keeping all my old software and configure...they didn't break and I don't want to touch them.
Besides unstable hardware support, I have been using Linux for 10+ years and this is the single thing that I hate most...when will debian package support libraries of different version installed side by side...?
Think about it...I think Microsoft is really doing an excellent job here. Although DLL Hell induced problem sometimes do happen (but a lot less since XP...), but still when they are still adding new features for a 6 years old OS. What else can you expect?
Even though Slashdot offer me an option to disable the Ad, I didn't check it...Hell, I do really find some Ad useful sometimes and I don't want to miss that. Ad has it place.
If we promote the use of AdBlocker, Advertiser will find their way to squeeze in,...No please, I don't want intrusive ad to interfere with my web surfing experience.
Hell! I have been using 42 for long. And you know that's the Answer to Life, The Universe and Everything, including but not limited to generating Random Number I suppose. I bet it works better than 5.
I have seen cars reversing on the left lane to catch the missed exit, compare to that - slow car on left lane is a non issue. (Note: I live in Shanghai) haa...ok this is off topic.
And one day I have been Japan for sight seeing and drove on an Interstate equivalent. It's a two lanes per direction, moderate traffic. I was driving at 120kph on average, and passing ~80kph cars on the fast lane. (The speed limit is 80kph IIRC)
But not so unoften, there were cars which are driving at 140kph. Throughout an hour of trip I learned to pay attention to the mirror (note: I don't own a car and i drive may be once per year?), and look for cars catching me up. When there was car catching me up, I just waved back to the slow link with 80kph car and let the 140kph car behind me to pass. Then I went back to the fast lane passing the 80kph cars. And the 100kph cars on the passing lane did the same for me.
All in all it's a really pleasure and enjoyable experience...
First, I grew up in Hong Kong but we learned cursive since grade 3, and it's throughout the elementary school, we are forced to write in cursive, for homework, for exam, etc.
Then since middle school, I discovered printing is much easy to write, requires less concentration, so and so...so who cares cursive anymore.
Cursive looks beautiful when done right, but IMHO it's not practical...if it's not done right, it's hard for someone to read...print/block letters have a much higher "error tolerance."
Same thing for Chinese Calligraphy, It's taught in the elementary school, but if you ask, no one care about it anymore. It which requires brush pen to write. so it's not even practical for everyday works, in this sense it's even worse then cursive. And it has become an art. I think someday (or today) people who will do cursive because it's an art, but not for any practical use.
SharePoint (not 2010, i mean the current version) actually works well with Firefox. I have yet to noticed any different when browsing it with Firefox/IE7.
Of course good graphics is needed for simulation based/role playing type of game. I am not disagree this statement. FPS, Simulation (Flight, Car Racing), RPG fall into this type.
However, there are many other type of games...Say, Tower Defense, Pac-man and Minesweeper do not have to be photo-realistic to be fun, as well as many other type of games.
I think the best way to do dynamic content in an MMO is to build a static framework (e.g. a world) and allow people to expand and create content from there.
I built the Earth and the Universe in the same way. It's not a good idea, I'm telling ya...
read Slashdot on LCD by using Echolocation....never success yet, and found that listen to the RSS clip read aloud by the robotic overload works much better.
The bar for civil case is much lower than criminal case. For civil case it is base on balance of probability.
Photoshop? Fake internal network? If that's the case it's simply equal to providing fake testimonial and evidence...everyone are supposes to not doing that because they have sworn-in, right? I mean, the professor is challenging about the accuracy of the evidence, not that they are created-out-of-nothing intentionally. These two are very different.
Use greasemonkey/AdBlock to remove all images from bing.com but whitelist explicit.bing.com? At least that would save you some bandwidth in downloading non-explicit content.

Openness where are you?
Android?
I would believe it's the Kindle accessing Amazon and deleting the book when something is flagged (or not flagged!)
And Amazon won't trespass your device. Never heard of any DRM setup that would do that.
At any case, I hope the student wins.

I agree Final Build implies an version ends with 00 is true.
But the reverse "00 => Final build" is not true.
tells you that game does not have to be photo realistic to be fun, enjoyable.

"as SMS can send binary code that the iPhone processes without user interaction"
Why is it even possible to send raw binary? Shouldn't it allow only a heavily-filtered subset of characters?
you mean allows only Chinese or Russian to pass through?
The unicode used is UTF-16, not UTF-8, which almost means every binary code is valid except for some range.
not MS in particular.
