I've NEVER heard that and neither has anyone I've talked to about it. Until I saw it (thankfully before the retardedness of CN) I thought Matrix-in-Matrix was possible.
and who gives a shit anyway, "hey you haven't been following the every word of the people who made the film, so you deserve to have the plot spolied for you"
maybe, but maybe it would be better if there WAS a worm that exploited this so that people would get pissed off and put pressure on MS to change or change OS themselves?
if everyone goes around fixing MS's mistakes, why should they even pretent to care about security any more?
yes apparently most movies make their money back in the opening weekend or thereabaouts. which is why we had the story a while ago aboutt wanting to ban mobiles because they allow bad opinions to be spread too freely and interupt the PR machine.
but so long as you have absolute control over something, even if you're not clever enough to do something profitable with it yourself, at least you can stop anyone else trying.
if you can't raise yourself up, then keeping everyone else down is just as good.
however I cynically suspect that this kind of sensible point of view has absolutely no place in politics these days, especially over anything relating to intellectual property or innovation.
laws are made by companies with money. companies with money have already succeeded. the last thing companies that have succeeded want is innovation.
in unix shells (and dos shells, too), ctrl-c has a wholly different meaning. (and that meaning is at least as "standard" as using that combo for copying)"
yeah you must've missed, or chosen to ignore, the part where I said IN PROGRAMS. I know about the command line, but whether in a windows editor or a linux editor ctrl-c is copy. 'cept for vi of course.
read a manual for Word!!!! aaaahahahhahahahhahahaha you've got to be freaking kidding me?!?!?!
anything that requires a manual to know how to exit IS poorly designed. it simply is. there are common computer themes, such as clicking on an 'x' in the corner to close, in programs ctrl-c is copy, ctrl-v is paste, ctrl-z undo etc. etc.. anything that doesn't follow these causes trouble.
even with your How-To above it took me several attempts to get it to work since the Z's have to be freaking capitals!!! i.e Esc, Shift-Z, Shift-Z. what sense does this make? how could anyone ever think of this as intuitive? should't a well-designed program be intuitive? shouldn't things happen how you would expect them to? did they run out of every combination of keys? what do Esc, Shift-Z, Z and Esc, Z, Shift-Z do? and are these commands more common than wanting to exit?
command line in program? kate edit two files? ANY editor, using multiple windows, desktops allows effectively infinite documents
like I said, without a gui and multiple windows maybe vi is the best, but now it's old and shit.
just like cigarettes, if vi were invented today and not a relic of the past, they would be declared illegal for health reasons.
my computer doesn't crash. it runs all my programs fast enough that I don't ever wait. how can you improve on this? spend more money to have to ask MS's permission to change my computer, and wasting resources on garish GUI's?
I had a lecturer at uni whose entire course was in powerpoint.
not coincidentally, it was the worse course I've ever had.
since taking decent notes was impossible, the only thing to do was download the presentations (43MB for a bit of text and pictures!) and print them off, 2 slides per page.
no thanks. although I know I'll lose loads of 'spect with all teh 1337 h4x0rz, I think WinME is good.
I play games and I watch DVD's. this (and browsing with Firebird) is 99% of my windows use. I have no problems with ME. I've used 98SE, it was crap. moving to 2000 would get me what? a load of hassle to fix my non-existent problems or improve my more than sufficient performance?
I can imagine they might have been great back when GUI's didn't even exist and you were prepared to learn a shedload of stuff.
but now they're just shit. if I can't "guess" how to do something, then it's poorly designed. this doesn't make vi and emacs for 1337 h4x0rz only, it just makes them shit.
a basic text editor with search/replace is fine for 99% of things. a little perl script will take care of anything complicated. if I'm in the mood for something fancy then kate with a built in console is nice.
I won't upgrade to any new MS software. I don't trust it - security holes and spyware/controlware. what I have (WinME and office 2000 premium) is more than enough for my non-linux computing. they aren't perfect but I'm used to them now.
there's nothing MS can offer me that would justify the effort of simply learning about them, let alone the effort of fixing new problems or their ridiculous cost.
so next time the US fancies a drive in its unilateral-invasion-mobile, instead of "we have to attack before the summer so it isn't too hot"..... "we have to attack before before this afternoon so it isn't too cloudy."
soon it will be so easy to kill people without collateral damage that it will be a case of "why not?" instead of "why?"
not necessarily. a laser is based on transitions between different energy levels. although these may be quantum levels, they are not limited to those and IIRC the CO2 laser uses transitions between levels of rotational energy.
"making a quantum leap" is one of those phrases like "I could care less" that many people use even though it usually makes no sense at all.
how do you determine the cost of private information being made public? do you use the RIAA strategy of $150,000 per file made public?
making everything about cost is a stupid dogma imo. I know there are some ultra-capitalists who'd like everything to be determined by the bottom line, but I think most people realise that some values such as security can stand on their own merits without need for cost-justification.

"Do we like or hate IBM then?"
I don't know, but I know I hate you.
this is one of the most stereotypical and pointless comments yet constantly gets modded funny.
yes, so long as:
1. you don't expect them to be the best thing ever like many people (stupidly) did.
2. your life doesn't revolve around you having a perfect understanding of The Matrix and it all being perfectly plausible.
3. you can enjoy a film even if it doesn't tell you exactly what you want to hear and show you exactly what you want to see.
I've NEVER heard that and neither has anyone I've talked to about it. Until I saw it (thankfully before the retardedness of CN) I thought Matrix-in-Matrix was possible.
and who gives a shit anyway, "hey you haven't been following the every word of the people who made the film, so you deserve to have the plot spolied for you"
care to offer an explantion or just trollin' ?
the RIAA doesn't want $10,000 damages from each song, it wants 150,000.
so the scale of punishment is still nowhere near comparable.
maybe, but maybe it would be better if there WAS a worm that exploited this so that people would get pissed off and put pressure on MS to change or change OS themselves?
if everyone goes around fixing MS's mistakes, why should they even pretent to care about security any more?
all that "related links", "we thought you'd like", "here's what other people searched for" BS just gets in the way.
It'd be okay so long as you could turn it off - search in "pure" mode or "I don't know what I want but I'll recognise it when I see it" mode.
I think most people are more of the opinion that this is just plain stupid regardless of country of origin anyway

who has a full office suite preinstalled?
it costs so much it's always an option.
computers usually come with "MS Works" or something.

I saw Reloaded in Manchester.
the amount of detail was impressive. when I watched the DVD I noticed the lower detail.
I didn't notice any cut ends, and it wasn't edited.
