Dr. Evil: Here's the plan. We get the warhead and we hold the world ransom for... ONE THOUSAND Megabytes! Number Two: Don't you think we should ask for *more* than a thousand megabytes? A million megabytes isn't exactly a lot of space these days. Dell alone sells laptops over 250 thousand megabytes a year! Dr. Evil: Really? That's a lot of space. [pause] Dr. Evil: Okay then, we hold the world ransom for... Dr. Evil: One... Hundred... BILLION megabytes!
Whew, glad my Canon doesn't mount itself as a external disk. Think of all the grief I've saved myself by having to launch something to get photos off of it. [/sarcasm]
So, where did these cameras originate? China, Japan, Taiwan?
Well. Considering he stated that there is no performance hit when running Windows on a Mac, your links don't disprove that.
The first link sounds like a HW bug in the Audio hardware. The second is a porting issue with DirectX to OpenGL. You can't just toss stuff over a wall and hope it sticks.
And no, neither of these issues have anything to do with EFI.
I learned VBA using the "Record Macro" function. Learned how it changed different properties, etc.
Used it to create a Matlab script to save plots directly to powerpoint and do some powerpoint manipulation.
It's how I learn. I could read every book in the world about a language and not pick it up. I either need to either be taught it directly (Like I was with Java/C/C++ in classes) or just copy and paste (as I did with PHP and the limited Perl I've done).
Yo Dawg. I heard you liked using a basic input output system to boot your computer. So we put a basic IO system to boot your basic IO system for your system.
BIOS is dead. Long Live BIOS?
I've moved all my machines to GPT. I understand the need to keep around some legacy stuff, but BIOS and the MS-DOS partition table really need to step aside for some new technology. They lasted us ~30 years, but the hoops you have to jump through to boot some newer stuff is getting annoying.
Text files aren't 'complicated'. Writing the Javascript and CSS to make them work the way you want is.
I've written a few GreaseMoney scripts, but I know how to program. To the lay user, I doubt they even know what 'GreaseMonkey' or Javascript is.
I know people that would like to customize their 'browser experience' but would get lost at UserScripts.
Knowing Apple, its most likely a pretty GUI around some basic text files. I know it may come as a shock to the Slashdot crowd, but Linux, GUI, config files, etc are pretty intimidating to a newbie.
If it wasn't for OS X, I wouldn't have ever gotten into Linux, OpenSolaris, PHP, C, etc.
Terminal was always there, just never opened. I opened it a few times to move files around. Used some hints from Mac OS X Hints. Enabled SSH, learned PHP and C through copy and paste coding until I understood how to write it on my own. Years later I run a SheevaPlug (do you honestly think a complete newbie would figure out uBoot and such?), OpenSolaris server, XBMC. Installed Ubuntu on my Girlfriend's laptop all because of Terminal.app and some natural curiosity.
If this "Simple GUI" gets some middle/high schooler or college student going "I wonder what this Plugin builder does" opening the auto-generated text and tinkering. Good for them.
I used Bing cash back all the time... it's the only time I used Bing.
Bing cash back deals are huge on Fatwallet because sometimes they go up to 10%.
Back in the day, when bing was first released. They had up to 30% off certain Buy It Now items on eBay. I'd just go through and buy gift cards. $100 gift card for $70. I got my first Canon SLR at the same time. 13 months later I sold it for more than I actually paid for it (after cash back).
So there was a bit more than 35 users. People will use your crappy service just to save $1.
No. You're wrong. It doesn't use just Javascript to determine your location. The applications have access to wireless services on each OS and sends those to google. You can even craft a string to send to google.
Google location API. Doesn't matter if the network is secure or not.
"Hey I found AA:BB:CC:DD:EE at this location"
Person with iPod Touch or other device with wireless only sends to google: "Hey I see access points AA:BB:CC:DD:EE, AA:BB:CC:DD:FF and AA:BB:CC:DD:00" Google goes: "Yea, you're around here".
Go to google maps with a new version of Firefox or Chrome. Click on the button that just has a circle in it. It'll ask for permission to send your location and should show you where you are on the map.
Is it anything close to how bad the US federal government has become?
Looking at the Wiki a EU Directive sounds more like a constitutional amendment or some laws passed by some federal regulatory bodies (Environment, Discrimination laws, inter-country commerce/travel).
The fact that the list fits on a single Wiki page means it's no where close to as much of a cluster fuck as our Federal Government is... yet.
Sounds exactly like "Small Government." It's not helping that this country is becoming more and more polar every day.
I had the opportunity to meet some Europeans while traveling and they asked me what I would fix, and I want to go back to states rights.
I explained it like this: Would you, in Sweden, approve of someone in Portugal being able to set laws that regulated what you did?
More or less we have extreme right and extreme left coming out and people starting to side with either of them. So instead of everyone being happy we end up with two parties that absolutely hate each other.
If hard core christian states in the south want to abolish abortion, have a 0 tolerance drug policy, etc. Let them. But there is no reason that they should be able to tell a Californian that they can't do that. Hell Colorado, Cali, and numerous other states are on the verge of all out legalizing marijuana, but it's the feds that are stepping in saying "Nope. Because we say so".
Every state has the right to set their own drinking age, but the feds are blackmailing them into making it 21. Even so, every state has its own liquor laws. Stores in SC close at 7 pm, with only beer available at gas stations after that. Illinois, no one cares. Indiana is closed on election day and Sundays.

Backin the day BabelFish would only convert X amount of characters or words if you entered the text, however it would do entire webpages.
It's how I learned basic HTML. I set up my own GeoCities account and copy and pasted my project in and kept refreshing the translation page.*
* I did try and not cheat so I only did Spanish to English. If I misspelled words or had bad grammar they'd usually show up.

All my online names were taken when I finally decided to register for slashdot.
So I just converted my initials to binary, it was available...
Faaaabulous.
Unless you live in Pennsylvania, USA
York Canada
Lancashire, UK
We're more alike than you think.

The client is written in flash, but all the data back and forth is XMLish. People have written FarmVille bots in php, perl and python.
On their specification Page.
UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz)
GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)

One of the nuggets they slipped in there was that it was a Quad Band phone. Previously it only worked on AT&T's 3G frequencies.
One can hope.
Unless you do a 4x3 setup.
Or you can get 6 users each with 2 monitors.
Apple TV currently runs a modified version of Tiger.
Maybe this is the final push we need to actually invest money as a notion in alternative energy?
Or not... if the right wing gets involved.

Look at how PreyProject uses it:
http://github.com/tomas/prey-modules/blob/master/geo/core/functions
Or run through a proxy server in another country and try geolocation as described above. It'll still find you no matter your external IP.

As long as you know what machine it was written for. Maybe google has their own custom chip to do all this processing.
Joking aside, I've done assembly decoding. It's definitely not easy but it is possible.

There's a huge window between letting each state change civil rights and letting each state make their own drug and education policies.
Sounds exactly like "Small Government." It's not helping that this country is becoming more and more polar every day.

If the 'ground' is bedrock. This would make for an interesting dwelling. You could build a 10 story building entirely underground.
Makes about as much sense as Microsoft replying to Google's comment about dropping Windows being filed under Apple.
