Thats a big actor.. that whole wieght/power ratio.
If you search the tubes, there is a video that shows a drag race between a ferrari, aand a smart-car.
With the smart car winning.
My wife is in school, and she is one of the oldest people in class. There is about a ten-year difference between her and the rest. The younger ones that might have had a chance tend to party a lot, and get distracted. Its that, 'hey we are in college so lets drink a lot' kinda thing. The class that she is in is 'secretary' course. She puts in a lot of extra hours that to get the marks that she did.
Quite a number of people were shocked to discover that the only people that were likely to pass were those that started working right off the bat. The Class sizes are 40 or so people, and that will cut down to 10 or 15, after this semester.
Part of what happens is the fact they open up the class to some people that probably wont make it. Just to get their money, and to maybe get them to take another different course, based on the skills that they have. A lot of people didn't realise that if they can't figure out how to do the homework, they wouldn't get a job.
Googles Web Help Center There is a link at the bottom of the page, that will allow you to send them comments ala suggestion box style. I already suggested that being able to move the content around ala the google.com/ig site, would be nice, as well as a link or webform, that would let people truly feedback would be great.
I agree with you on that. I remember there was an exit poll, when i left the mmorpg, Star Wars galaxies, asking why i was canceling. The questions they asked allowed nothing for why i was truly leaving. There was web-form for any 'suggestion box type things.'
Maybe they can set it up like the Google home page so that you can drag around the frames as you wish them to be.
How about the one that retroactively allows git-bay? Oh, it wasn't legal Or the ever popular, to just ignore the Geneva Convention, where ever they see fit.
Maybe someone should change the constitution, so that the riders that get tacked on at the end of a bill, must reflect the actual bill itself.
Then you don't run into power-bill/anti-terrorism/anti-abortion bill that seems so popular these days?
But, even still, (Not being American) doesn't it mean that no more crazy laws will be passed? even if the Shrub writes them, they still wont get through.
For the most part I coudlnt get the network version of the printer to work. My time limit was up, and i dumped it.
I think that they are pushing vista64, so you probably won't see much motion on xp64.
i was one of those people too. I have always had pc's around.
The mac buy-in is too steep for most. Now with the mini, many people might be more tempted.
I recently bought a new mac, and have been so very happy. Once I figured out the minor differences, one being the apple key ves the alt key, not to mention the lack of a context menu (yay shit ctrl).
I left my gf in the futureshop. She played with the mac for a little here and there. Over the course of a couple of weeks, she was dreaming of it. Now we own one. She got a discount as sdhe is a student.
Now, I personally think that this is something that should be more encouraged, going back to an Emac, that is between the mini and an Imac. That way students can get the buy-in early. I think apple looses here because the students decide to stick with what they have already.
Even throw in a copy of student teacher edition of office with an imac, with a student purchase. Slick.
Maybe coming up with some ideas that would help change the way law-suits are handled. Maybe there should be a way to change the law, so that if a group of people are offended they can't simply sue. Or, at least have some sort of definite kine in the sand. Say things like suing the kkk over hate speech is ok. But suing them for selling a game isn't. The problem is that most people seem to forget that you can shut-off a gamer if you think that it might be offensive. All these lawsuits do is make even more people aware of the issue. More people are likely to try out the hot-coffee mod, if that is what the want.
Its like smiling Jack shining his big torch on all these evil games. I'm sure that take-two loves this, as long as they come out on top.
Simply put, the only reason that MS is even doing any upgrades is because of what firefox and others have done.
MS has been caught resting on their laurels as it were. The idea was that a smaller set of companies were shining lights on the glaring issues that windows has.
MarketShare is only a small meter, compared to it's influence.
Netscape was the only browser to seriously challenge MS.
Mac only has a small market share as does Linux. Does either of these feel any less important ?
Either OpenSource or a MAC solution. I think that it will be mac.
We just bought an iMAC and its the best of both worlds, in-my opinion.
reasonably stable, yet pretty enough for the Chicky.
Mac has years of marketing, and a slow build. Maybe if they did forget about the hardware and just license the OS, as some have suggested, it would push MS away.
firefox kicked their assess with the better browser. Mac could do the same with the better platform.
My chicki was forced by me to switch because she took over the windows machine upstairs. I told her that in no-uncertain terms, use Firefox. Even if I have to go and tap her fingers to remind her. I for one don't want to be cleaning up all the ie crap that it leaves behind.
Now she is flying through.
Every once in a while, this is a good thing.
Of course. Thats why I posted it as a generality. Most of my statements are to that fact.
Lots of differing opinions is what makes the place good. Its maybe an irony, that slashdot is promoting the use of c+d letters.
Point!
Counter-Point: Whether or not the terms of the agreement are for one person to copy more or less is irrelevant. Media is copy-righted. Either copy-right, or GPL is valid, because of legal issues, and the fact that the consumer is using the product, is aware of the license. Therefore bound to it.

I thought that the open-source community was suposed to be better.. There are no fan-boy-fanatics, (RMS aside)

How about the song of the day
"This is ground control to Major Tom. Your circuit's dead, is there something wrong?"
I found this out. It seems relatively hidden.

Its too bad the recent laws made it through.
I'm sold. Does the e-ink run when it gets wet?? I wouldn't want it to ruin my pants.
Why not make a 100$ one that simply, lets me make phone calls, and not much else? I don't care if the are Wifi. Or Wii. Im 34, and I'm over that.
For the most part I coudlnt get the network version of the printer to work. My time limit was up, and i dumped it. I think that they are pushing vista64, so you probably won't see much motion on xp64.
Of course.

Safety Meetings... no-one works, no-one gets hurt.
Upgrade to firefox 2. It has a half-decent spell checker, as you type into a form.
7 out of 10 doctors are quacks What does that mean ?
but I cant.. Jack Thompson is on the phone..
Why is this flamebait ?
