I toured the IBM Accessibility Lab the other day. They have some cool stuff, and there was a demo of some stuff including Jaws. First thing I can reccomend is to check out the IBM accessibility web site.
Aside from that, you can also take a look at some pervasive-computing stuff. They're big into "multimodal technology" - XHTML+Voice provides a way to speak to the device or see your input on a screen (or, presumably, to view it in an accessibility-enabled web browser). Its key "secret" is that it can do much better voice recognition because you limit its vocabularies and grammars to the task at hand. See also the IBM multimodal web site, you can find these toys online, even!
Oblig. disclaimer: I work for IBM. Heck, I work just down the hall from the Accessibility Lab and the lab formerly known as "Pervasive Computing". But I'm just a little intern, and I'll be gone at the end of the summer. Just make sure none of this stuff is construed as official IBM sanctioned stuff, promises, announcements, anything-like-that, mmmk? You know the drill.
So... what you're saying is that AOL should offer some niceties like complimentary gym memberships with their accounts! This can tie in with our little orange running-man commercials perfectly, and we can kill two birds with one stone! It's genius!
Because art is nifty, and because it's a massive leap to go from tweaking stuff with keyboard and mouse to actually scratching stuff onto a copper surface with an etching needle. Because it's fun squishing stuff under the thousands of pounds of pressure in the printing press. Because there is a bit of a puzzle figuring out how to get proper textures with aquatint, mezzoting, engraving, or drypoint, or stippling.... Nifty stuff, really.
No, no, economists aren't going to model anything like that whatsoever. You're thinking theoretical physics, and economics is a social science. They'll make a more reasonable assumption like "people live forever".
I blame a sudden burst of competition from Don Bluth. Sure, not all of HIS stuff was top-of-the-line, and there was a tendency for his stuff to be even more sickly-sweet than Disney's, but shortly after Bluth left Disney you started to get fun stuff like Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin.... gradually tapering off into another rut.
Obviously the editors are paying attention to the wonderful feedback they get about how the 'IT' section has a terrible color scheme. Expect to see more misfiled stories like this. It's a feature, I tell you, not a bug!
This only prevents the sale of such games to minors. I don't see them prohibiting minors from playing violent games, they just need someone else (presumably a parent) to buy it from them.
Exactly. MediaWiki and the Wikimedia sites are put together with off-the-shelf components: Apache, PHP, MySQL, Squid, and a few caching systems for various data whose name escapes me at the moment.
A complete-and-total system rewrite in something that's not PHP would do wonders for efficiency, but the development manpower is not there- it would take an enormous amount of effort to get it usable, let alone useful.
Well, few sites of that popularity are quite as 'read-write'. When you have people submitting edits to articles every second, things get a little trickier.
Unlike Opera and Firefox, the IE for Macintosh and the IE for Windows are really completely different browsers with different code, different sets of bugs, and the same name.
We ran these observations by Freenet founder Ian Clarke. He agreed that the caching behavior does reveal far too many clues. But the next major revision is expected to eliminate the problem. Sometime later this year, it is hoped, the Freeenet developers will release a version that employs premix routing.
If you RTFA on the 'Xen' kernel, you'd see what's news. The Xen kernel supports some Nifty Virtual Machine Stuff which you won't find in a standard kernel or, as far as I'm aware, in any of the big-name distributions. This is New and Cool.
The USA army has planned to invade everyone. Anyway, before you go screaming at the US for not playing friendly with the International Criminal Court, consider: It'd be unconstitutional for the US to go along with it because not only does it establish a court of law higher than the Supreme Court, but there's nothing to keep it from violating several items in the Bill of Rights (things like double jeopardy, jury of peers, all those legal niceties which we love in this country). I've always thought that it sounds like a recipe for barratry against important individuals, to boot.
or something to that effect. Username@host, directory, all wrapped in a neat little angle-bracket configuration which will make anyone who's seen DOS a bit more comfortable with the system. If you have multiple hosts that they need to worry about, consider multiple colors for the hostnames.
Additionally, if there's any chance they'd use a command that checks the EDITOR or VISUAL or whatever environment variable, make sure that they do not launch vi. Give them something simple and easy like nano.
Consider the colors that 'ls' uses. Consider whether or not they'd be helped by a default like ls -p (print / and the like on the end of directories, @ for symlinks, etc.)

You're right. When it comes to electrical energy, you're looking at a whole lot of coal, mostly.

Forget operating systems that are sold, how about the ones that are free?

Is there an equivalent of Knoppix that you could run on these things, then?

The words the original poster was seeking were surely closer to "not even close to started".

Outsourcing is a good thing for everyone in the long run. However, in the long run, we are all dead.

Mimas, another moon of Saturn, is the one that looks just like the Death Star. If anything, rename it instead.
No, no, no, you've got the wrong moon: you're thinking of Mimas, another moon of Saturn. (cool picture included)
