And all you have to do is turn the crank madly to see anything. These poor kids are gonna end up with right arms like Hell Boy.
Actually, the real models (ie: non-3d illustration) dont have cranks:
As initially envisioned, the laptops sported a hand crank on the side to generate power, but Negroponte has scrapped that idea because the twisting forces that would be bad for the machine. Instead, some form of power generation device, likely a pedal, will be attached to the AC power adapter, he said.
Just because VMware is incompetent and can't implement hardware VT correctly, doesn't mean VT is slower.
Try Parallels or Xen to see VT implmented correctly. Vmware has broken VT.
I guess what I never understood...is where air travel is protected in the Constituion. Maybe I'm the enemy but I never understood why it's an invasion of privacy to be searched before boarding a plane.
Yeah I can't believe our Constitution-writing forefathers didn't put a clause in there about the right to not be anally-probed when you want to board an airplane. Oh and someone should have explained airtravel to those neanderthals.
In addition to what you said above, Google also knows what search result you clicked on.
The biggest source of info for them is probably your "Google ID"/single-signon. With this info they can tie your search terms and search clickthrough info with: * your sent and received email (Gmail) * your schedule (Google Calendar) * your purchases (Google Checkout) * where you plan on going to (Google Maps / Earth) * what you and people you know look like (Picasa Web Albums) * news you're interested in (Google News) * what you like watching (Google Video) * what you like reading/talking about (Google Groups / Blogger / Notebook) * what you talk to your friends about (Google Chat) * every page you visit (Google Web Accelerator) * all your website passwords, full browsing history, cookies, and bookmarks (Google Browser Sync extension for Firefox)
It's a feature, and a pretty cool one. I wouldn't mind this in Linux. This is not a bad thing.
This already exists in Linux and there are a few options. One is Wayback which has the nice bonus of using FUSE so you dont have to recompile your kernel. Another option is ext3cow (named as such since its basically Copy-On-Write for ext3).
Israelies are not aiming at innocent lebanese people
Bullshit. They're aiming at anything that isn't Israeli. This includes Lebanese men, women and children. This even includes, from a recent event, unarmed UN observers.
I've been running it on my Linux box for a while now and it works very well--it even supports the Intel VT acceleration built into the new Intel chips (like on my Pentium D) unlike VMware.
And why is cash-strapped Louisiana wasting its tax dollars passing and then having to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to defend blatantly unconstitutional laws
I think the answer and reason is in your question somewhere...
When I design and code a site, I do it by hand (usually vim or kate) and when I'm done, I always run it through the W3C validator to make sure I didn't leave out a closing or some syntactical error somewhere.
Some people are obsessive about being W3C compliant and do it pretty much just so they can 'show off' the w3c comliant badge. I do it to make sure I didn't make any coding mistakes.
This validation happens to have the nice side effect of making a site render correctly in most decent browsers.
I was at Fry's yesterday and saw a Sony media center system that allows you to load up 200 discs in it's CD changer and have them all ripped to your PC automatically.
I googled it and apparently it's the "Sony XL 1" media center, runs Windows Media Center (and is pretty expensive). I guess if you were in the market for a high end media center system then this would be a good route.
I think one of the biggest reasons is because AMD's laptop processor lineup sucks hard and Apple really needed to deliver with their new Powerbooks / "Macbook".
I'm sure Intel's DRM technology and production capability also played a factor.
I thought the linked video was to an actual screencast or demonstration of a working WinFS implementation.
What I got instead was a 2 minute "Wouldn't this be great if we could pull it off" marketing fluff piece with fast-cut series of animations set to a loud pop music track.
How did your post get modded interesting?
(Btw, I went ahead and read the blog post you linked to that has this quote: "The video started as a joint venture with a video vendor to define an excitement piece". You can't be serious).

Do you know what accounts are set up when you do an XP install? An 'Administrator' account and then another administrator-level account except with a user specified name (and this is the username that the system logs into by default).
You're blaming him for running as the default user that Windows sets you up with right from the install?
If Microsoft expected people to run as power-user by default, they should have made the default user a power-user account from the install.
Typo caches most pages (like the index page and most blog post pages) to static HTML pages which is probably why your site is still 'snappy' on refreshes.
Because the pages are cached as normal HTML pages, Ruby/Rails is not started up for those pages and thus can be served up extremely fast.
This kind of thing only benefits opensource so I approve. The more ridiculous their licensing gets, the more businesses will look to open source solutions ( Linux + Xen or Linux + UML, etc).
I love this quote from the article:
The shift will benefit customers, Microsoft says.
Higher prices 'benefit' consumers. I'll have to remember that one. </sarcasm>
Tiny Internet browser maker Mozilla Foundation beat Microsoft to market with browser features planned for Longhorn.
I love how it's phrased to make it look like Microsoft had plans for all these great new features for IE7 but this bad little company "Mozilla" comes around and steals their featureset.
If anything, Mozilla is the reason they're finally getting around to 'upgrading' IE to possibly make it a decent browser compared to Firefox.

... My family sends IMG_1000.BMP to my inbox. I think they like the lossless (non-)compression.
Yes it's native. Google Earth was originally coded using the QT(opia) library so no WINE stuff was needed.
I've installed it and it runs amazingly smooth and looks great.

Here's a link to the Sony system at Amazon.
It's $1800 for the whole thing (you can't get the CD changer/ripper separately it seems).
I just remembered this home-made CD changer that could be used to rip your CDs automatically.
/. ;-)
Of course it's an ugly hack and uber-geeky but hey, this is

I tried out this thing yesterday for a bit.
Here's the problems:
1) The domain name sucks. Who wants to be john@30gigs.com
2) The interface sucks. Hard. It's about as plain as it can get (it looks like they're just using Squirrelmail with their own stylesheet).
3) Their privacy policy is vague on what kind of information they share
4) There doesn't seem to be any reputable parent company behind it meaning it's chances of survival are questionable.
Overall rating: THUMBS DOWN.
(I posted this review to Neowin yesterday BTW).
Way to copy and paste my post from yesterday. Nothing quite like stealing other people's posts and claiming them as your own.
