Trillian's always struck me as an unusable, horked-up eyesore. Of course, having seen the hideoustrainwrecks that most people are willing to accept as instant messaging clients, Trillian starts to look rather classy in comparison.
Yeah, that has been the defining characteristic of Google since its IPO. It's too bad they are past the point of no return; it would be a breath of fresh air to see them just jettison all this crap and go back to providing a good web search service.
If you install a Spanish-localized browser on a Spanish language operating system, and the browser is sending Accept-Language: en instead of Accept-Language: es, then the appropriate course of action is to file a bug with the browser and/or OS distributor, not to do an end-run around the entire specification and start plowing through geoip databases and guessing who speaks what language.
The web browser will send an Accept-Language header indicating what languages the user prefers, and the order of preference. Just don't do like Megaupload and read them in reverse order!
the whole thing is just a litany of pwn. this is the most badass response to legal threats i've seen in a long time; this guy has given even the pirate bay's collapsible baton gag a run for its money.
Please tell me people don't really talk like that. "Grew the solution"? "Drive business value"? These people need to get a hold on themselves and listen to the feces streaming out of their mouths.
Well, in my region, there have been no signs whatsoever of Sandvine, and the line they give me is four times faster in both directions compared to the fastest line AT&T could offer. The uptime is between 99.8 and 99.9 % and the price is right.
Perhaps Apple should ask the X.org foundation for help with their X server. I've noticed that Apple's X11 is pretty poor compared to the ones distributed wtih Unix OSes.
Windows still needs some really remedial rehabilitation of its package management "capabilities", and what you lot call "slipstreaming" just sounds like some long-abandoned ritual to us. I've even heard that Windows guys still primarily use the "executable installer" method of software distribution -- is that actually true? It sounded made-up to me when I heard it; probably just an exaggeration from some half-cocked Linux zealots!
Creative won a patent on the algorithm known as Carmack's reverse, which the Doom 3 engine uses extensively. To avoid patent license fees, Id shipped the Doom 3 engine with Creative's EAX shit in it.
no, think about it for a second -- put your fingers on home row. where is your thumb? a thumb pad always belongs in the middle, whether you're left-handed or right.
A standard video format is one for which there exists a specification, that one might implement a player or encoder. The Flash license specifically forbids the development of players. At best it is what we call "a de facto standard".
Yes, lots of bands have been doing stuff like this for quite some time. The reason people praised those artists is that they did it very loudly, raising the media profile of free digital distribution and influencing other artists to consider the same sort of distribution.
no, not trolling. and i am sure you simply forgot to add that the percentage of P2P traffic comprising unauthorized distribution is a declining share, as more and more folks deploy P2P networks for game updates, sanctioned video services, software distribution...

haha. yeah, that. i put the "just" in the wrong place.

Will there be portals?

"Slipstream" is a somewhat noxiously overblown word for "updated installer image", don't you think? And all the while you scoff at those who don't care to complete the mind-bogglingly long number of steps needed to "slipstream" basic updates into an installer, Linux users have cast off that albatross entirely and simply install the right versions the first time around.

Seriously? Next time, try CPAN or APT. I'm no Perl fan, but God, it's got the best network-install add-on libraries in the world.
your sentence no verb!
no, think about it for a second -- put your fingers on home row. where is your thumb? a thumb pad always belongs in the middle, whether you're left-handed or right.
And if you think doing all that stuff to their musicians is bad -- man, wait until you see what they do to their P2P lawsuit victims.

Now, watch what you say. Our 60 Hz CRTs may be annoying, but your 50 Hz CRTs are downright unwatchable.

Sure, possibly security or performance. More likely, NIH.

Why, the GIMP Toolkit, of course... or would that just be too confusing?
