I just run a simple benchmark to see how fast these are. It turns out that Google's DNS is slower than our university's (I'm in Oregon), OpenDNS and L-3.
I think you're wrong. In my experience many people didn't know certain things could be done in Word or Excel until they saw it in the ribbons. In my work environment this issue came up several times and they were surprised when I told them that this or that feature existed in since office xp!
I had to use office for years on a daily basis. Moving to ribbons was not difficult for me. After a week I could appreciate the difference and now after two years I'm not going back to the menus.
As far as I understand that guy was modding consoles to run pirated games released on DVD and similar media not xbox live games! In fact, I've never heard of someone pirating games published exclusively through xbox live.
My favorite list: Switzerland, Netherland, Finland, Sweden, Norway. I would love to live in Switzerland myself: I love the direct democracy there, the peaceful people and the beautiful nature and very high standard of living.
Another option is to become really rich! Rich people enjoy much more freedom all over the world!
Oh yeah, why bother with science and adventure? In case you didn't know, this insanity runs in the Piccard family for generations.
This guy is Bertrand Piccard, is the first man to go round the globe non-stop on a balloon. His father was Jacques Piccard, the first man that used a build and used a capsule to go down the Mariana Trench, the deepest point of the world's oceans. His grandfather was Auguste Piccard, the first man to build and used a balloon to go to the stratosphere, setting a record of 23,000 m (72,177 ft). Not to mention the other branch of the family, Jean Felix Piccard, Jeannette Piccard and Don Piccard who were also famous aeronauts and balloonists.
I also liked the mouse-over preview. It is badly needed in Google. Sometimes I have to click on tens of search results in Google just to close them right away. Considering that sometimes linked websites are quite slow, this process of click, quick look, close could be very boring.
The results so far are comparable to Google to me. I'm going to use it for a while to evaluate it better but so far it is promising.
I won't say IE8 is on par with Firefox but I use it too. On my tablet PC it simply performs better than Firefox or others. On my desktop I prefer Firefox though. And yes, I too have problems with IE8 and slashdot.
Why ARM? Wouldn't it be easier to use atom instead so that the same x86 software can run in both power modes? Considering all other power consuming components of a laptop, using ARM instead of atom would not significantly reduce the total power consumption of the system.
Sorry, you didn't do your homework. Have you tried IEPro (http://www.ie7pro.com/)? It's a freeware. From its website: IE7Pro includes Tabbed Browsing Management, Spell Check, Inline Search, Super Drag Drop, Crash Recovery, Proxy Switcher, Mouse Gesture, Tab History Browser, Web Accelerator, User Agent Switcher, Webpage Capturer, AD Blocker, Flash Block, Greasemonkey like User Scripts platform, User Plug-ins, MiniDM, Google sponsored search,IE Faster and many more power packed features.
Process explorer shows both CPU and I/O activity of all processes and services running. Here is the link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx Another option under vista is to use the "Reliability and Performance Monitor" in control panel.
Try IE7pro then, a free plugin for IE7: http://www.ie7pro.com/
It has most of what you want. From their FAQ: You can use IE7Pro for Tab Enhancement, Super Drag Drop, Crash Recovery, Proxy Switcher, Mouse Gesture, Tab History Browser, Inline Search, Spell Check, Auto Fill Form, User Agent Switcher, Webpage Capturer, Greasemonkey-like user script, AD Blocker, Flash Block, and more.
I use IE7 + IE7pro on my Tablet PC and FF3 on my desktop. IE7 is much better at dealing with ink input on my tablet while even with some recent FF3 is yet far behind.
Try Sins of a Solar Empire, one of the best games of the year that has no copy protection. So far they have sold 500,000 copies of it which is huge considering the modest budget.
It's Microsoft's fault. It's not anybody's fault. It is what USB standard says. Do you prefer Microsoft break the USB standard? Why should my device that correctly asks for a power token from USB host fail if a stupid hardware connected to the same hub mistakes USB port with a dumb 5 volts adapter?
No it doesn't. You're probably talking about previous versions of Word but the 2007 version has its own, much improved equation editor that has nothing to do with MathWorks.
Why does it seem that those supporting HD DVD tend to always use "blue-ray" instead of the proper Blu-Ray name? And with all that knowledge on codecs, compression and audio transfer technology you would think they could at least get the technology name right. Sorry if I hurt your feelings. This has been certainly a typo error on my side (and I make a lot of typo errors) but in general I agree that we should try to use correct spelling:)
Btw, I'm not supporting HD DVD (or Blue-Ray either). I was just reminding that even on technical ground, the battle is not totally one-sided. Each format has strong and weak points and both of them could be improved.
LPCM support is mandatory for both standards. However, you maybe surprised to know that Dolby TrueHD, which is a lossless compression method, is mandatory for HD-DVD and is only optional for Blue-ray. As a result, most of the HD-DVD titles come with the audio compressed with TrueHD and no LPCM (selecting only one of the mandatory options), saving between 2:1 to 4:1 on storage space while blue-ray titles, should always carry the LPCM soundtrack and in practice rarely include a TrueHD track. Carrying only LPCM means that all other nice features of TureHD is going to be missed: dialog normalization, Dynamic range compression, downmixing to any arbitrary number of channels, etc...
MATLAB is the main program I use in Windows at my office everyday and since Feb. when I've upgraded my system to Vista I never had a problem with MATLAB.
It seems that this technique doesn't test against the microsoft server, but can tell if a key is valid on the local computer, which would actually be news.
This is not really that important if a key is validated in a local computer or not. Any key needs to be finally validated by the servers: Out of all possible valid keys that pass the validation on a local computer, only very very tiny number of them are actually keys that have been (or will be) issued by Microsoft. Think of it like this: with 25 symbols for the keys you have a huge huge search space A. Now, this program finds the keys that are valid according to the magic formula that Vista validation system uses. All these keys form a very very tiny subset of A, called B. However, the set of keys that Microsoft has already issued (or will ever issue), set C, is only very very tiny subset of B. This program finds random keys in the B but to actually validate Vista with them, user has to contact Microsoft's servers to see if the key are part of the C or not. This is where the whole things breaks down next to being totally useless. (this is the same story with the CD-Keys of the mutli-player games...)

I guess for me it's clear: I'll skip it for now.

You've got a point. However in many countires after living for a few years you can become a citizen.
Damn!! so many typos!

Thats silly. More often people get drug under an SUV
Maybe the stupid thing here is the number of people driving SUVs and trucks in US?
300 years BC and you call it news? Good job Slashdot!
Sorry but this is B.S. Shortcuts are there and are actually more accessible than before. Just hold the ALT key and you can "see" them.

You can copy the game and play it. However, to get updates you need to have a valid cd-key.
