Hmmmm, considering the stereotypical geekness of Linux that does make me wonder if the versioning of unstable versions has anything to do with Star Trek.;)
What is it with this sillyness? Is the USPTO just waving requests through?

I think it's outrageous to place taxes on CD-Rs for example. When I go buy a ten-pack to make backups I really don't see why I should pay for people's downloading of music.

Quite the contrary, the recent Half-Life 2 numbers only confirm what DX9 benchmarks have been showing: That the NV3x architecture is flawed. It needs nVidia-specific coding to run worth a damn, and lags behind significantly in some areas. There would be no sense for Valve to intentionally sabotage many of their customers.

Exactly, yet the marketing muscle seems to hold sway over quite a few people, like the one I just replied to.;)
I have to agree there. It's not that they have massive collections of MP3s from CDs which they may or may not own, it's that they are uploading them. Even radio stations with bad quality and little user interaction have to pay for that.
Face it, most who have huge collections don't own the rights to much of their music. You do? Great, countersue and get cash from the RIAA for wrongly accusing you.
>which, by definition, must have a gap between them >in which can be found another real number
That definition must be flawed when dealing with infinite decimals. I'm not going to spend any more time on this, but it seems people don't think this theoretical thing through but rely on fallacies like 1/3 = 0,333~ to decide.
A gap as big as the smallest possible gap is still a gap. Obviously there can be two numbers with nothing in between when we're talking about infinite decimals. 0.999999~ will get closer to 1 with every digit, but won't equal it ever. There isn't anything else to say... Free your mind!;)

You should have "A Big Piece Of Garbage" on a first season DVD. "The Day The Earth Stood Stupid" is from season three IIRC.
The latest WHQL certified ones - 52.16

Because when you put in a CD, you usually don't want to do anything with it?
(XP even has content specific autorun actions, which is neat.)
I remember Mozilla doing exactly that. I started using Firebird a while ago, so I can only say for certain that's how it works there.
What I find problematic about using third party proxies with IE is that many applications will use IE's (=Windows') proxy settings.
I knew you'd appreciate it.

But the melody from the haunted woods in Zelda: Ocarina Of Time will stick with me forever. *whistles*

File not found. Bad command or deity.
That list is largely useless. Whoever wrote it should take the definition from page one and write it a hundred times.
Daikatana overrated? Puhh-lease, it got slammed in the reviews, and is synonymous with ridicule among gamers.
A competitor for the two top dogs would be great, but I remember the Kyro and Parhelia too well to think any of this until we see benchmarks.

Simply steer clear of pages that are ill-designed, be it 100% Flash, IE-specific coding or red font on blue background.
No surprise he couldn't be found!

In the good ole days, pirates were hanged.
Same goes for arguing anything in front of a biased audience.
