The Heineken logo (not sure what the point of the thing is) can be found on just about any bar. But 99% of them (at least in the Netherlands) will serve you a plethora of different beers. I personally haven't seen a bar/cafe where they sold Heineken only.
The only thing the Heineken logo tells me is that there is _a_ bar at that location. I'm sure not drinking that stuff..
He isn't saying that you should run on 10 year old hardware, he is saying that it runs on 10 year old hardware.
Basically, since it will run on 10 year old hardware you can just buy new low-end hardware and still get faster results than buying high-end hardware with Windows 7.
I have seen it happen quite a few times that the DE would just make a reasonable machine come to a grinding halt. My one-fast workstation with a dual Opteron was always blazingly fast using KDE 3.5. Since I upgraded to KDE 4 it has been horribly slow... but KDE 3.5 just isn't really an option anymore.
Those users don't pay money, but they help to remove the bugs and introduce new features. Or atleast... that's what I do with XBMC.
Personally I don't use Boxee though, I simply can't stand the Boxee user interface and bugs. Some bugs are ok but Boxee has had so many completely broken and/or missing features that it has never been a viable alternative for me. Too bad since some of the interfaces seem better than XBMC out of the box.
This has nothing to do with business class or not. You pay for an internet connection and should be able to use it to the fullest.
My ISP gives me the option in the control panel to let them filter the standard/dangerous ports for my connection if I want them to. But _every_ port and just about any protocol is available for when you need it. Including native IPv6.
Business lines should be about reliability and extra features like trunked lines, not about something as basic as having all ports available.
Usually you can shift it into the gear you want, you just have to push a bit harder;) Most cars also try to prevent you from shifting to the 1st gear when you're still going 50 kilometers an hours while breaking for a traffic light. Just push a bit harder and you'll succeed easily.
from what I've heard, Farmville is very addicting and it constantly has new components keeping it interesting to play for quite some time. But most of the people I know that tried it got tired of it after about a week or so.
If it does than it's by an acceptable amount imho. I keep Opera running for weeks at a time without ever having problems with it.
With Firefox (atleast 3.5 and 3.6) I can't keep it running for more than a couple of days before it slows to a grinding halt. Perhaps the windows version is a little better but under Linux, Firefox is unusable for me. Way too slow.
Second that. By far the most pleasant database I've worked with so far and if you don't have everything you need with the build-in features, it's easy to build them yourself.
It won't be the first time that we are able to pirate hardware. Just like the expensive processors that get an unlocked multiplier... just another way to get more money without actually doing anything. But they too have been pirated in the past. Remember that people were fooling around with silver to unlock there processors?
I really love Google Wave but it was simply too unstable to use very often. Slowdowns and sometimes even crashes were often, either by wave or the browser having problems with it. It's brilliant technology that has a lot of potential in the future, but I don't think it's ready for most production usage yet.
Anything that depends on user input and can't be predicted before loading the page _will_ be faster with ajax if the server, client and internet connection are fast enough. Rendering a full page is much heavier for the server so in that aspect it's an advantage. Loading a full page for a client is heavier because there's more to parse. Loading a full page takes up more bandwidth so it's worse on your internet connection too.
So there are only 2 cases I can think of where it might not be noticably faster. 1. A high-latency connection (which I suppose you have judging from your message). 2. A slow cpu that has trouble with handling all those small parts of data (opposed to 1 big stream).
In all other cases it should be faster in terms of user experience.
I think "all" is quite an exaggeration too. When looking for all videos with "a" in it (should be a lot) I get 283,000 results, while it normally results in "millions".
You might scare away some pirates with heavy DRM, but you'll also scare away legitimate users.
Yes, I usually pirate a game before I buy it just to be sure it's worth it. But if the game is worth it (like Assassins Creed 1, Borderlands, Mass Effect 2, etc...) I do buy the game.
However... when games come with such heavy DRM that it causes me trouble (like this will, I won't be able to play in the train for example), I simply won't buy it. Because of that reason I've never bothered with games that used the StarForce protection either. And even in the past I've used cracked versions of games I bought simply because I don't want to have to insert the CD/DVD every time I play a game. Why inconvenience your paying users while the non-paying users don't get all those problems/ It makes no sense to me.
The memory usage is just part of the problem though, with the additional memory load comes lots of slowness. I have more than enough memory in my machines (8GB for this particular one) but when firefox is only consuming about 1GB it already gets so incredibly slow that I just restart it every couple of hours. And I don't have any exotic extensions installed, just the usual (firebug, adblock, greasemonkey, etc..)
Slashdot Mirror
I regularly drink Duvel and/or La Chouffe at bars like that. And those are definately not produced by Heineken.
Although it may be that they are not allowed to have different beers on tap or something. But bottled is definately a regularly occuring thing.
I guess you really haven't gotten the point then.

It all depends... Silverlight is a plugin too, will they block Silverlight aswell or will they somehow integrate it so it's not a plugin anymore?
Wheter this decision is evil depends on that imho
It's based on history. Every original internet provider provided you full access to the internet. So everything after that is unneeded degradation.
This has nothing to do with business class or not. You pay for an internet connection and should be able to use it to the fullest.

So OpenLeaks is actually less open than WikiLeaks? Now I'm confused...

62 million users can't be wrong, right?

What if they accidently returned the wrong identification details? Say... the identification details of the copyright holders?
Second that. By far the most pleasant database I've worked with so far and if you don't have everything you need with the build-in features, it's easy to build them yourself.

Indeed... are we talking sealife glass here or iPhone 4 screen glass? Huge difference ofcourse...
I wonder how many libraries of congress will fit on it.
Flash is shockingly bad, who'd have known.
Second that.

The guy just invented the iframe it seems.
Also... since AJAX is an acronym for Asynchronous Javascript And XML this would be AI? Asynchronous Iframe?
Perhaps they can copy something from Opera, they had technology like this 3 years ago ;)

World War WAN? That might be confusing
Indeed, you can even remap the escape button (which I had to do because my phone, the Nokia E90 doesn't have it)
Vim is just about the most flexible editor there is in that aspect, everything can be mapped to everything.
The memory usage is just part of the problem though, with the additional memory load comes lots of slowness. I have more than enough memory in my machines (8GB for this particular one) but when firefox is only consuming about 1GB it already gets so incredibly slow that I just restart it every couple of hours.
