Let's not forget the fact that while Dell laptops are oftentimes nice machines, their enclosures are hideous, clunky pieces of plastic that can't hold a candle to Thinkpads or Macbooks.
FCKeditor is a web form that provides an interface that looks just like any word processor like undo, formatting, etc etc and generates html code from input. oss too.

Been to amazon in the past couple years?????
They've already booked $2billion in advertising, paid $768 or so million for the rights, and is paying all the commentators/hosts to go. (Olympics provides footage to the networks of the events)
I can understand why the IOC needs to honor their contracts.
You couldn't convert your mp3's to surround because the source is stereo... if you want surround just run it through PL2 for pretty good on the spot surround sound.
The reason why America is the world's leader is because of the fact we take our increases in productivity (technology in the office, for example) and keep working the same amount of time. This is why we have a relatively low quality of life compared to, say, the French.
No it isn't new. The motherboard, cpu and memory certainly are, but the rest of it - keyboard, mouse, PSU, case, monitor, gfx card, harddrive, modem - are not. In other words, I have taken off the shelf parts (costing around $350) swapped them for the old ones and completely rejuvenated my machine. It's not some wacky daughter board that sits in the CPU socket of my old board and twiddles the voltage and clock speeds the new CPU to work, it is a brand new PC indistinguishable from any other and has no compromises on its performance. Hell, I expect I could even slap an 64-bit Athlon board in there at some stage.
You saved yourself about $250 but it definetly isn't the same machine as it was before; it's the same case. If you had really saved your old machine (p2 450 I believe right) you could still have used it.. mine runs XP without a hitch and would easily run linux with the stock amount for a number of purposes.. mp3 jukebox.. firewall.. etc etc.
Why do you think they still produce 3.5" 5400 RPM drives?
Quieter, uses less power
Why do you think software driven modems became a success? I read about Intel's move with software modems a week ago this is by memory: modem standards were different between countries (could not use a modem made for france in germany, etc. etc.) Intel made a modem that had flash memory on it that could be changed for different countries. Other manufacturers adopted the idea and Intel got out (Intel is largest in flash memory busines??). This created the lack of winmodem drivers for non-windows OS's.
Why do you think people assume LCDs have a better display?
Because they are easier on the eyes and colors are very good and the form factor is much nicer.

Does anyone care about any of this?
The real question is, what does CmdrTaco think of the iPhone?
Who would want to compete for a business that has huge expenses and no income?
News Corp owns Fox. News Corp buys DirecTV. Serious risk of antitrust action? No.
Am I the only one who finds the way Amazon presents items to you a bit frightening?

SHOW ME THE MONEY!!
I thought C# and VB.net were the same language with different syntax...
We've found a solution for the deficit!
Can anyone explain the point of this?
Just open a text file in quicktime... It shows each line sequentially.

It's the new FAA FPGAM database... fat people who got away with murder.
Local affiliates lose revenue because local ads won't be seen if you watch via net, and they have the rights to the content in your area.
This author has done the impossible. He has written a piece of significant length that seems to say nothing at all.
As a former Best Buy employee, he must be an expert in economics and international currencies.
I don't see why you can't just send it to the hotel....

I remember a few years ago getting in trouble for clicking the start button on a computer at my middle school. Oh the danger of this feature.
