Hi! The greeks knew long before, but they weren't catholic, so the catholic world took until 1996 when the pope finally officially admitted that galileo might have been right after all.
For some reason, I read it "The geeks" the first time, and nodded while doing it...
In the age of digital cluelessness in the patent office, something like this was bound to happen sooner or later. It's hard to even tell if it's a win/win situation, because if they really go all-out on something as general as "patent of a device that broadcast digital entertainment" (paraphrased), the amount of heads that will roll in the process will make the french revolution look like a cakewalk in comparison.
Meanwhile, the sharks are rubbing their collective fins at the prospect, and ironing their armani suits no doubt.
It doesn't have to be pareidolia, it could very well be some ancient settlement. It's the southern coast of Spain, there have been people living there and building towns and small cities for several thousand years. Every "important" western civilization had cities in the mediterranean coast of Spain.
That's because the average PC is, for its user, merely a tool to be used in their daily work. Tell me, how shiny and flamboyant is your tin opener? Or your hammer? Hell, what about your broom?
It's a shame most Slashdot users don't speak spanish, Ortega & Gasset made a very interesting essay about the "satisfied Spaniard rich boys" (one of his favourite phrases, calling them "señoritos") who complained loudly about how ugly and badly treated cars were in France, as opposed to how shiny they were in Spain, forgetting that people in France actually used their cars for working and not merely as a status symbol.
Lack of sense of humor? It was not a troll, it was a joke. Overused? Probably. Not very funny? Perhaps. But there's a difference between that and a "Troll".
What I wonder is why he had to manually remove the frames. VirtualDub has tools to do that in-video without having to extract the frames then put them back again.
Those that think that outsourcing is harmless have not learned from what happened in the consumer electronics (TV, VCR, Radio) field. While most of these devices were invented or perfected in the US
OK, so I have Firefox and I block all the images that annoy me. Now my problem is that sometimes I middle-click in the page to bring the "universal scroll" thingy and turns out the blank space used to have an ad (and I open the link in a new tab).
Now, my question is, is it possible to also disable the linking of blocked images? That is, if I blicked an image, I want to block the it was nested in.
Usually because breaking the GPL doesn't try to limit your fair use rights, unlike Digital Restrictions Management. GPL (roughly) says you have to make any changes you make to the code in a product public, doesn't aim to restrict what you can do in your house with your downloaded code.

The fact that they spent three years integrating anything from "explorer.exe" to the kernel with IE?
That, in its current state, Service Pack 2 means a quite hard performance hit for City of Heroes. No SP2 for this baby until they fix that.

The last time I had to reboot after installing something that was just an application and not something critical on XP was... wait for it...
The demo of Impossible Creatures.
Yeah, the game made by Relic and Microsoft.
I grinned at the irony for about 20 minutes.

Where did I park my DeLorean?
If there was ever a +6 funny comment in Slashdot, this one would be it... :D
If for nothing else it is worth looking at because of the photos as you indicated.
/.ed, so I couldn't see a damn thing...
Well, by the time I got there the pictures server was
The food is absolute shit, but they use Linux...
Argh...
Yes we did, I'm so proud of you guys. It wasn't even on the front page, it was just a link from a random comment.
Do not confuse monopoly and monoculture. Both are bad, for different reasons, but they're not the same.

So, how useful is your little dog for recovering ancient artifacts IRL?

I hope you don't get mod points often.
Unfortunately AMD is on board with this crap as well. So are Motorola, Transmeta, and even ARM. There's really no good-guys to turn to at this point
VIA? *Shudder*

when you don't know all the variables involved?
I'd buy 20 drums of Cat-5 Cable and start from there.
o_O
Electric != Electronic.
Yes, the difference is if the mod understood the joke or not.

Hmmm
