I just cited a specific, repeatable issue. We researched it and found that we are not the only ones. It is an issue of a configuration file that version 3 does not convert correctly. It is the official release, not an old beta. The difference is likely that our user files are not stored locally on the machines. I find it funny that my original post was modded overrated twice. Just because you haven't had issues doesn't mean that they don't exist. I thought it was common knowledge that version 3 was rushed, but apparently there are still fanboys who don't read.
Firefox 3 isn't ready for release in the first place. We tried it here at work and it is so buggy that we weren't even able to go to sites typed in the address bar. We had to set google as the home page and search for websites that we wanted to visit. Firefox 3 was released well before it was ready. I'd love to blame apple (I'm forced to use a mac at work), but Mozilla really dropped the ball on this one and should have waited.
I hope that I read that wrong. You can get good deals by entering a long term agreement. I pay about $30 less per month for my collocation because I have a 2-year agreement. Are you saying that I should be able to pull out after a month and not have to pay anything? Even if my setup fee was waived because of the deal? That sounds unfair to the providers and if this continues it will result in higher prices for everyone.
From my limited understanding of the properties of H2O on mars, I would imagine that letting a clump of dirt sit up above the soil would cause the ice to sublime after being directly exposed to sunlight. Anyone know if this is possible? Obviously they aren't going to get a false positive... but a false negative seems likely (although I'm sure that they will know this if it happens to be the case, and will try again to find water).
of all the customers I provide technical support for, nearly 90% of them have all stated how much they hated vista
so... 90% of them have stated whether or not they hate vista? You do realize that your phrasing would include satisfied people in those 90%. But I'll assume that you meant that 90% hated it. You are providing technical support for those people! Of course they aren't happy with something. They screwed something up on their computer, and they are blaming Vista for it.
I have 2 computers running Vista. Neither of them came bundled with it. I am very happy with Vista... I haven't had any problems at all (even though I will likely be modded as such, I am not trolling).
The fact that he said that he couldn't draw any conclusions probably means that the windows code had by far the best quality out of any of them, and that shouldn't surprise anyone.
The Book of Mormon is copyrighted, but it is freely available (yes, for free) to anyone who wants a copy (online or physically). Why is it copyrighted if it's free everywhere? I'm not entirely sure, but everything else in the church is probably copyrighted for the same reason. It has nothing to do with secrecy.
That being said, how is this different from any other person orrganization requesting removal of copyrighted material? (pretty much all LDS materials are copyrighted). Sure, most slashdotters don't believe in copyright, but this sort of stuff happens all the time. The church copyrights stuff not to make a profit (the leaders of the church do not make money based on how much the church makes), but so that things aren't taken out of context. As has been said down the thread, there is nothing crazy about this book that would drive people away from the church, but this now allows for tons of things to be taken out of context (things taken out of context are the main reason that people think the LDS church is so weird... that, and flat out lies about it).
Read the article. What is being described is personal attacks. They encourage them to voice their opinions, just not to engage in personal attacks, which apparently they were doing.
Sure, it's contained, but for the majority of people (I'm pulling 'majority' out of my butt; I haven't seen any numbers, but I can't imagine it not being the case), the purchase of a computer and the purchase of an OS (or non-purchase if it's Linux) happen at the same time, so the fact that someone has a Windows PC does not mean that they are less inclined to go with Mac OS X as their next OS due to hardware restrictions. Sure, a good portion of people will upgrade their OS before upgrading their hardware, but that portion is not everybody.
OS X is much more of a competitor to Windows than Linux, and last time I checked (on friday), my work computer (an iMac running Leopard) had a current version of MS Office on it.
It's there now. As soon as I saw this article I tagged it as haha, but I'm pretty sure that my tags are meaningless now. Back in the day my tags would show up even if I knew that no one else was tagging it the same, but I think Taco or someone disabled me on the back end since I am pro-microsoft.
I'm going to have to agree with you on th is one. Sega a handful of games that I remember enjoying very much as kid. I think this one game was called Wonderboy... or something like that... it was awesome.
Then there was the game that you could play on the system itself without a cartridge (this maze game)... that one was also very addicting and fun.
You're right about the energy being dispersed and reflected, but only a very small portion of wave energy goes back into the ocean. Most of it is absorbed by the beach. If this weren't the case the waves would be just as large going back out as they are coming in. Sure, sometimes the waves going back out are visible, but they are much smaller and it doesn't happen very often -- especially on shallow sandy beaches (think how much energy is lost in (very inelastic) collisions and sound (beaches are loud)).
Yes it will probably have consequences - but nothing compared to what we've done on land. Most of the Earth is covered in water... and how much of that water is covered by buildings and streets and sidewalks? Not a whole lot compared to what we've done on land. And if people are concerned about using the energy of waves, they just haven't thought about it enough. Essentially what they're doing is moving the beach out to wherever these things go. When waves hit the beach the majority of their energy does not go back into the ocean.
The actual harnessing of the waves probably won't affect much. It would be much worse to create a man-made harbor instead -- all you're doing is breaking down the waves before they break on the beach. The only negative affects would come with giant metal buckets floating in the water with long rods going down to the bottom... some fish might bump their heads...
I can think of a few cases, but I can't imagine these cases making up for the babies/children who don't have cellphones.
Some people have a personal cell phone and one for work that is owned by the company. Also cell phones have kind of replaced radios at many jobs (my office has 3 or 4 cellphones for people who go out and about).

From 0x100 to 0x1000. One order of magnitude.

I'm positive.

Blame the /. editor. In the linked article the word "cease" is used once, and it isn't followed by "fire."

That's a good explanation or the capabilities of the two formats.

Sure, Vista sucks because Facebook misconfigured their IPv6 stuff.
