as modern technology should have replaced having to require dedicated meeting rooms... aren't videoconferencing and whiteboard software up to the task yet??? It should enable people to have meetings across several timezones without having to go to the trouble of all traveling to one place...
or is this just some form of juvenile office politics... look, my meeting must be important, all these people had to drop everything to come to it...
only being able to boot the OS up... and that was it... just get it to show the basic desktop... not that you could do anything glitzy with it... launching any program would immediately mean thrashing the disk as the OS started swapping stuff out to make way for what you were trying to run...
however, it was only when you examined the small print on any advertisements for computers that you discovered this fact...
case in point, PCWorld staff would say when questioned about a basic vista capable computer that it was good for booting the OS...
"A system that will run Windows Vista may not be capable of using all of its features," he points out. For example, a machine branded "Windows Vista Capable" that is a high-end Media Center PC with superior graphics capabilities will be ready for even the most feature-intensive versions of Vista, Wilcox explains. But if it's a low-cost PC and it has a "Capable" sticker on it, "it will probably run the features of Home Basic but not anything else," he warns.
why else are there so many fawning reviews of hardware in computer magazines... and why else doesn't Linux get any real press in the same magazines when there's no advertising money in Linux anyway... just remember the "Golden Rule" folks... who pays the piper calls the tune... magazines etc. are not gonna jeopardise their major advertising accounts... when it comes to the crunch, they'll buckle...
Eventually the machine will spit out a page that, you hope, says somewhere on it STATUS: SUCCESS.
even after that you could have failed... I had the originals the wrong way up in the tray...... the recipient got seven sheets of blank paper with fax headers and footers on them...
BUT SOME ARTISTS LIKE RADIOHEAD AND TRENT REZNOR ARE TRYING TO FIND A NEW BUSINESS MODEL.
That doesn't count. You can't pick on one person as an exception. And that's not a business model that works. I open a store and say "Come on in and pay whatever you want." Are you on f---ing crack? Do you really believe that's a business model that works?
they got a heck of a lot more per album for themselves doing it that way than you get with your rip-off recording contract...
/me thinks he's just jealous he didn't come up with the idea himself... cos if he tries it now, he'll just look like a me-too wannabee...
sonar techs too busy listening to britney on their mp3 players instead of maintaining a real listening watch... too much reliance on the software to do the detection and classification...
the telcos would quite happily delete the data anyway and be in contempt... they'd get pardoned for it and a pat on the back from the executive branch...
just how many handsets have the Symbian platform and how many out there are based on Linux in one form or another??? Just why does he have to "trash talk" the competition at every opportunity? Me thinks he's getting desperate
bounced the signal off the reflector that Neil Armstrong left at the Apollo 11 landing site. Round trip could have come pretty close to 768,800 kilometers... bouncing it back up and down again would have made the link as near as damn it = 1,500,000 kilometers
they ALL wear Joe 90 glasses??? I've seen this idea before... they used to program Joe 90 with the necessary skills before each mission... and he had to put the glasses on to access them...
Microsoft got around that... the price/volume remains the same, but you get a larger kickback to cover your "marketing costs" if you comply with things Microsoft want.
the patent system is broken in that patents get to be treated as property... in a fair system, the patent would only belong to the company/persons that actually did the work and couldn't be bought or sold... if the company goes bust, then the patent would revert back to the public domain... that simple modification would make it impossible for most patent trolls to amass their war-chests...

this is the sort of thing that deserves patenting...

Game, Set, Match... well, I think that's that argument well and truly settled... Microsoft will never dare to use that FUD again...

here's what they were saying back in 2006...

marketing buzzword for "magic pixie dust"...

"pattern recognition" IS part of artificial intelligence..., /pedant mode = "off"
fancy previewing the service pack... are they really that worried about people drifting off to greener pastures or sticking with XP
about those 3,816 DVDs he's admitted to copying???
getting their printer drivers "certified" on Vista...

I was gonna suggest using a dustbuster to sweep up the shavings... but there's nothing to suck...
you mean like the portfolio scammers who prey on young girls who want to be models?
because Vista forces users to view the web in only those fonts? ie. it defaults to them when no explicit font is specified in the web page
