Hahahah you only single dared. For something so rife with the possibility of seething scorn and whispered ironic compliments you should start at a double dare at a minimum.
They're still here, nothing has changed. The OP was talking about taking the settings to the limit, which was never something you could do for that kind of money. Any memory you have of such is false.
I actually don't care for the collapsible sections. They are cute, sliding in and out, up and down, but they don't hold from page to page. That just annoys me.
I'd have to argue that IE7 may not actually qualify as a decent browser. Microsoft has been cranking foul balls since 5.5, and nothing I've seen yet indicates the 7 is a return to winning form. Run a Gecko based browser and the web is your oyster. Or maybe Opera. People seem to get zealous over that one.
So they haven't tested a beta browser, possibly on a beta operating system, and this is a problem? I'd say it's your browser that's the problem, it works fine in Firefox.
And I like it. It's clean, modern, and it twists the nips on all the/. luddites, which is always a plus in my book.
That's just a dream. After all, what good is a language that doesn't provide 6 ways to do everything? Everyone should have their choice of syntax for common operations. That's what freedom is all about!
Perl's popularity is entirely predicated upon the fact that it was the only thing available. The alternative languages are so much better now that only CPAN saves the entire thing from falling into obscurity (and even that won't last forever.)
This kind of thing probably counts as a tweak, I would have to assume. They talk about changing the UI, not the mechanism itself. As much as people like to bash Microsoft, they have some really smart people working there.
Of course, it's easy to criticize. If the challenges in pointing out flaws were anywhere near creating something in the first place, Slashdot would have about 3 comments per story.
Windows has an 'All Users' home directory, which is where this shortcut lived. Since it wasn't owned by the current user, affirming permission was the right thing to do.
The flow is poorly designed, but it's the first cut of the feature, and the product is unreleased, so a little slack is in order. Of course, this is a Microsoft article on Slashdot. I should be happy there isn't a preponderance of dollar signs on this page. It's amazing you anti-Microsoft zealots finally realized that isn't clever.
For the benefit of the knee jerk apple zealot mods: I own several Apple machines. I've experienced an exciting number of kernel panics, spontaneous reboots, and mysterious unexplained freezes that lead me to believe the OS X hype about stability and reliability is only so much bullshit. Interestingly enough, my XP machine has been running steadily with no issues for 7 months now. Not one lockup. Not one bluescreen. Not one virus.
As I said, the hype is bullshit. Modding me down doesn't change that fundamental fact.
I wonder, what manner of being works for corporations? I assume it can't be people, since here on Slashdot ther fight is always people vs. corporations (and typically, like in this case, it's an imaginary fight conjured out of thin straw to stir popular prejudice).
Yeah, I'd be happy to only lose my home, as long as my precious/bin directory wasn't erased. I can easily replicate all my work, but I'd never be able to reinstall my software.
I think Apple brings this on themselves. They want a reputation as a vendor of superior quality, as evidenced by their marketing, yet they don't deliver anything close to that reputation. Why should this company get a free pass? Because they make fun of Microsoft?
Your expectations are backwards - when there is a limited software pool running on a limited hardware pool (like you HPUX example), backwards compatibility is easier to achieve. Windows software vs. hardware combinations are so complex as to be nonunderstandable.
I post here to wag it in your face: RMS isn' relevant. Only a core group of rabid fanboys lovingly cling to him like he means something. The world doesn't know, and doesn't care, that he exists.
Actually, the apostrophe in this case would be a contraction of "editor is." Possession is easily dismissed as a possibility since it's (see, there's that 'is' again) senseless.

Does it hurt to pull something like that out of your ass?
And of course you get the added bonus of playing the games you don't want to buy, as well. It's like your reward for having such a smart system.

Go to the A/V closet, get a TV and a DVD player, and watch 'Life of Brian' repeatedly.

Plenty of people on Slashdot have the 'balls' to post contentless trolls. Read at -1, you'll see them all.
Readable?
Naw, that's too easy.
Sensible?

That doesn't really seem to change the meaning to me. He very explicitly says the PS3 will satisfy consumer need for a computer.

But what's the point of keeping it around if we can't eat it?

Sorry to burst your little bubble.

You're just plain stupid if you think that PS2 development trends have anything to do with business needs.
Yeah, Google will now know how many hit points your night elf has.
