5. Virtual desktops, why MS hasn't been including them is beyond me, they seem really easy to code
Heck most of the Win User base can't find a minimized application in the taskbar. (Or start an application w/out an icon on the desktop), how do you expect them to remember on which Desktop they put which window?
aehmmm..... wooosh???
And speaking of that bullet-time effect... I bet everyone knows about those multi-million-cells-excel-databases scrolling past way too fast! Everyone would love scrolling in huge offide documents become _slower_! bullet-time for that!
I can only speak vor the situation over here (Germany). I know people in a few bands, and while several of them got away with not knowing about it, some others wish they had payed royalities, as that would have been cheaper than paying the 'fine' afterwards. (more a back payment based on a worst-case-scenario than a proper fine, but nothing you'd want to argue about)
As those royalities only apply to "Public Performances" it's often up to the owner of the concert venue as the organizer of the event to take care of it. (read: at least write in the contract who has to take care of it)
Claiming that a song is copyrighted, and therefore any tablature is copyrighted is absurd. First of all, you would have to charge almost every band that ever existed with copyright violation, since 99% of the live band music played on any given day is what we musicians call a cover song.
And thats what performing bands are paying royality fees for.
No. you need to mash the music with something else also, or at least the use of the unaltered music will be problematic.
But the rest should qualify as "original art" under fair use terms. Either that, or give you a ride to the next loony bin.
I doubt that. Cause then there would be no sense in Kopetes configurable (and distributed) Versionnumber-Configuration.
That only makes sense when you EXPECT ICQ to start requiring some random version number without actually *changing* anything in the protocol.
The question is simple: why are natural things like nudity, sex, and sexual intercourse considered obscene to begin with?
Because it is such a private and special act, despite the act having been demeaned over the past 60+ years. And that's the problem. Sexual intercourse is meant to be an act performed in private for the two parties that love and care for each other deeply enough to create a stronger bond. When you put that on public display, the act is reduced to a trite sensuality. And now go and tell that to the Bonobos!:-)
You may be right with the last 60+ years, but if you think back say 1000 years, with at least one peasant family living in a crowded hut. If it were *that* private back then, mankind wouldnt have survived till now.
Someone here has any clue when it became a private act in the first place? Had to be some time after our anchestors descended from the trees.
Given unique company names and trademarks, it is not. Or as critical as sound is to advertisments. Flash anyone?
What information is carried in the font or color? I know about cooperate Identity, but it has to stand back behind the capabilities of the selected communication channel.
if Typographie was crucial to commercial communication, no buissness communication could be handled on the phone.
Effectivity is always measured in something per something. And the goal of communication is to carry information. I know it has been watered down to "planting some idea into the brain of the recipient" so communication includes advertisments and propaganda. But thats undesired communication anyway (for at least one party) And the "per something" usually IS something that is closeley related to the size of the transmitted message. (Cost for bandwidth, Transmission time, Size/resolution of an image)
And counting "manipulated brains per buck spent for advertising" is not in the spirit of what "normal" people would think of as "communication".
Email is a just a communication tool - nothing more, nothing less.
Email has evolved. Our connectivity has evolved (remember the days of 110 "baud" modems?). To say that email should be restricted to 20 year old technology (maybe even including the speed of transmission?) at the expense of effective communications makes as much sense as saying that manuals should still be restricted to printed copies from line printer output (in monospaced font!) -- and that updates should be done via regularly distributed change pages). 1. Would you mind to explain me how glittering Headlines, dancing smilies, an eggshell-textured backdrop (of course alsmost indistinguishable from plain white), and the occasional Chain-Mail-ppt actually make communications MORE effective? Effectivity is measured in information per size unit. And for anything that cant be put into plain text, use a fitting attachment. (pdf, png, perhaps even doc and ppt if it suits you)
2. Yes, landline Speeds may have evolved from the days of the 2400baud modems, but i bet if you're stuck somewhere out in the wild with only a slow GSM connection (no WLAN, no UMTS/EDGE/whatever) you'll be glad for everyone who sends you only plaintext emails. So it's welcome back to the 20 year old speed restrictions, that actually ARE progress.

Warnings should still be generated for expired certificates and probably those signed by unknown CAs.
Thats exactly what SELF SIGNED certificates are. (signed by unknown CA, namely the certificate holder himself)
mod up. Thats the fallacy in TFA.

Archon I'm waiting for a decent DS, Wii or Linux-Port of it.
You mean you've seen no alerts from Virus Scanners?

so.. you can still remember your Fido-Adress too?
Oh come on... Don't tell me "Magnum, P.I." never aired outside of Texas! (Even thoigh over here it was simply titled "Magnum")
so... GPs moral decline is simply a return to the good-old-values from 500 years ago :-)
we need "-1 informative"......
He actually SAID so. He was talking about America, not the US....

it has the words "illegal" and "porn" even in its URL. So guess what the Firewall think what you might be browsing....
