It seems he's running a lot of those operating systems in Virtual PC. Is it just me or does that seem like cheating? I was expecting him to have all those operating systems installed natively.
Even better is that the person whose whose words are being used to "prove" this causational relationship doesn't seem to think there is a think that it exists. Instead, she seems to be saying that even though sales are up, "piracy" is still a problem. Not the following quote:
But Tizard warns that while sales of local music are high, so are illegal copies of New Zealand albums.
She says piracy and copying of CDs and cassettes is estimated to cost the music industry $40 million a year.
I guess it is just a bit of wishful thinking and selective reading on the submitters part.
You mean something like this? They have an entire series of cars designed. You can view them all on the site. They don't seem to be in active production yet. I don't know when that will happen, but if you're really interested, you can sign up for information here.
As far as just plugging in the camera and having it work, isn't that what gPhoto and it's GTK2 frontend gtkam are for. It seems to me that those would work just fine for many cameras. And if you have a camera that uses USB Mass storage, it's even easier because automounter should work just fine for you.
There are a good number of things that aren't perfectly userfriendly on a GNU/Linux system, but i don't think this is one of them.
I prefer to think of a virus as God's foray into programming. A virus is a quine. Think about it. The virus exists for no other purpose than to generate a copy of it's genetic code by executing it on a living cell. That's just my view on it anyway.
I completely agree with your observation of our lack of understanding, though. But I guess that is why all this research is being done; to better understand nanotechnology.
I was just looking at the product information on their website, and the product seems to be exactly like a clone of MS Office.
The big difference seems to be the trading of presentation software like Powerpoint for some photo editing software which they claim is like Photoshop. What gives? I thought that Powerpoint was one of the more used programs in MS Office. I know i've been forced to use it in more than a few instances. I would have thought they would come up with at least something to replace it.
I've been drooling over the Zaurus SL series since I saw it a while back. They have a lot of neat features, but the one thing that I wonder about is the software availability. I know there is a good amount of software available for it, but nothing like there is for the Palm or PocketPC based PDAs. With PDA's getting so fast (I think the SL-5600 had a 400 mHz processor) and the fact that a PDA OS can't be as complicated as one for the PC, what would be the feasability of creating something like WINE for PDA applications? I think it would really great to be able to get a Zaurus and be able to take advantage of the vast software library available for the other platforms. Anybody know if this would be possible or if there is something to do this?
I think you have that a bit backwards. At least for younger people guys have MUCH higher insurance rates than women. They have some sort of statistical evidence that guys are more likely to cost them more money and use that justify gauging us for money.
Thanks for pointing out all that stuff about claims. I never knew any of that before. My question is this:
You point out that a patent simply being approved doesn't mean that it has the force of law. Technically this is true, but how many people have the funds and the stamina to fight the proverbial 800 lb gorilla with USD40 billion in the bank? As far as i know, that's the only way to get a patent overturned once it's been granted.
So that you can use your Xbox running linux to serve a copy of linux to the gamecube when it loads it over the LAN. That way it can play nice with your PS2 running the linux kit on your all-linux all-console network.
Sorry man, I wasn't trying to be antagonistic. It was just a lame attempt at a cheap laugh. I guess it really doesn't work in text form.
As far as Mandrake goes, I've never been a real fan of it. It's far too graphical. I want to know where the config files are that I'm editing and what changes i'm making to them. That way my experience is a bit more universal rather that distro-centric. Also, I'll never forgive it for killing off my media partition and somehow rendering it unmountable in windows.
This is flat out not true. I don't know about Gnome, but I use KDE 3.1 and whenever I click on a desktop icon or start a program, a small copy of the icon follows my mouse pointer around until the program loads.
This to me is perfectly acceptable. In fact, i'd rather have this than the cursor changing into a stupid hourglass that I can't do anything with while the program loads.
The solution would be to send mail carrying your ISP's domain name through your ISP's mail server.
Ah, but what happens when your ISP won't let you?
I live on campus at my college, but use my email address from my ISP at home. My ISP, however, won't let me use their SMTP servers from a computer which is not physically attached to their network. Sure, I could set up an ssh server and use that to send my mails through a machine at home, but that's not really practical, now is it?
The easiest, and most logical solution for me is to run my own server. A server which my college is obviously not going to list as authorized.
What would seem to be simple logic isn't always the case. If you will direct your attention here, you will discover that, depending on the task, an early Pentium 4-M could actually be outperformed by the higher end Pentium 3-M of the time.
I personally own the Minx style Sensa. It's extremely comfortable. In addition to the comfort aspect, it's geek friendly with it's stylus on top for use in PDA applications. Add to this the fact that it uses pressurised cartridges for the ink so you can write at any angle , on any surface, and even under water. I'm extremely happy with it and wouldn't want to own any other pen.
Yech!! classics...
Now you've gone and conjured up some awful memories of some truly awful literature. I hated being forced to read those awful books in school. It's a wonder some of that stuff didn't turn me off to reading permenantly. I've always been partial to Mark Twain's definition: "a book nobody wants to read but everybody wishes to have read."
Popcorn is great, but nothing beats Ramen Noodle. You can get like 6 for a dollar. That's like 2 or 3 days worth of meals! That's why it's the food of choice for college students (and it probably works well for the unemployed, too). Plus, unlike popcorn, it has some nutritional value. One bowl offers you 190 calories. Best of all, no additional hardware is necessary. They can be boiled, microwaved, or eaten raw (i've known people to do this). Ramen Noodle Soup rules!
I've been thinking about doing something like that with my car. I live on campus at my university and park my car in the dorm parking lot. Whenever i decide to go out on the weekend, i find these stupid ads placed on my car. The problem is that they are coated in wax that melts and sticks to my windshield. The only way to get them off is with a scraper. I'm thinking $100 per day for a minimum of 15 days or so is appropriate.
Someone want to tell me what happened to good, old proofreading? I'm having a bit of a hard time believing that the legal director of the EFF would make such a nonsensical statement.
That really sucks, but that is also the credit card company's fault to a small extent. The companies should have noticed that something was wrong when an account that was inactive for a significant amount of time suddenly has thousands of dollars in activity on it. They should have called your friend to confirm that he was the one doing the spending. I thought that was policy at most card companies.
It ignores novelties such as polyphonic ringtones and games and instead it is designed to help you concentrate on a phone call itself.
I'm sick of seeing all sorts of pointless features added to phones. The manufacturers know no bounds. This device isn't particularly useful, being as you need a swimming pool, but if it were made smaller, this could be something really useful when making important phone calls (when not driving, of course). I wish all the cell phone manufacturers would focus on making useful advancements such as this and better call clarity.
Not true. I just got back from a stay at Marriot hotels in both New Orleans and Atlanta. Both offered a plan called "Wired for Business" which cost $9.95 per day from noon to noon. The plan allowed you access to broadband internet, unlimited local calling, and unlimited long distance calling within the US. I'd say that's a pretty good deal.
According to the review, this thing costs
£999.99 (US$1,572.33) for the unit and £179 (US$281.73) for the docking station. That pricing seems a little high for what the unit really is. A quick search on pricegrabber.com turned up the Acer TravelMate C102Ti for just US$1299.00.
Why wouldn't someone just spend the same amount of money (or in this case less) and purchase a tablet PC. That way they could have a full fledged portable computer to take with them anywhere. In addition, since the tablet PC runs Windows XP Pro, they could use remote desktop sharing to control their Windows XP desktop, not just from anywhere in the building, but anywhere in the world.
The whole idea of this thing just seems a little absurd, IMO, when a seemingly better solution exists.
