Who's to say who's wrong?
But, we can probably get the DCMA in on this, if it involves breaking some form of 'protection', which the antispyware can add to its next release to every file it owns.

Whoa, 2 concerns:
1) It's not even out yet and already there are at least 2 connectors? 35B1/35B4
Reminds me of 5-6yrs ago. DVD standard being finalised, and we had DVD-RAM and DVD-RW. Fast forward to now, and we have _3_ writable 'standards' with no end in sight.
Will this happen to S ATA?
2) P ATA is dead, S ATA will have teething problems no doubt.
Looks like I won't be able to buy a new HD (or any ATA drive) for many, many years.:)
The real question is, if you have spent so much effort on the program, and so few people give you cash, is it worth spending more effort writing a keygen and trying to make sure it's not easily crackable?
Chances are, if it's crackable, you've just wasted more effort for nil.
If it's not, if people didn't love you before, will this make them love you?
Being such an upright citizen as you must be, I'm sure that you have since spent your own time to write those little apps yourself and have given them away for free, right?
How dare you call someone a chump who has spent their own time trying to contribute to the world?
Make no excuses. If you don't want to pay, fine. Don't try to blame it on someone else.
1. Software vendors exisit today that will provide you with necessary levels of support and uptime/reliability. That's a fact.
Paying to call a long distance line to be put on hold does NOT count as support.
3. Liability holding software vendors responsible for how a client uses the software. This is a wrong idea. If I use inappropriate software to do a job then I should
be accountable, not the vendor.
While I agree with you, given the state of public liability lawsuits, where eg a drink driver sued (and won) against a local council because the road was not straight, You can be sure the courts will stuff up here too.
So DVD+RW is so good for movies, and DVD-R is so darn compatible, and DVD+RW obviously has little to do with DVD+R (otherwise they would have come out at the same time).
Why don't those stupid corps give up their turf wars and do a DVD+RW + DVD-R drive?
What exactly IS the diff btwn DVD-R vs DVD+R if they both read on normal DVD players?
I cannot believe you don't get less than 75% signal. Have you never been inside a building and have it disappear in the lifts? While some places you will still have non 0% in the lifts.
Take into account the black? That would be the same as you going out on a clear night and looking up. THAT's what the color of the universe is including empty space.
U ask if the human eye can really even see the universe? Well, everything we see is IN the universe and is PART OF the universe. Of course, we can't see ALL of it at once...
Or, you could just have been sitting near the edge of the goo. You notice the crowd behind you getting a bit hot. You want to go home.
You can't push your way thru the crowd. 10000 ppl pushing each other pushes you onto the goo. You're stuck.
The crowd at the other side can't see that. The crowd keeps pushing. Other people get stuck on the goo. Since nobody can move around, people pile on top of other people.
When people pile on top of other people, after a while, people start to die.
I think it should be at the OS level, so that it applies to ALL apps. Consistent, yet customisable.
The problem is if App A has its own skin with the close box at the bottom left corner while App B has a totally different skin with the close box at the top right.
Want consistency across platforms? Look at Lotus Notes. It's consistent across supported platforms. Yet can anybody use it? I can never find any menu options I want without searching thru all of them once, then again, and maybe a third time.
They tell me it's for my own good, since it's consistent across supported platforms. Too bad I only use Notes on ONE platform. It doesn't act like everything else on my OS.
People need to wake up and see WHAT they want to let people customise and WHAT they want to make consistent (and consistent across what?).

Sounds like they want to rip off the hard work of copyright/patent owners (DoCoMo)! Aah, if only DoCoMo had a lobby group in the US...

Maps are marked as:
Magnetic north is X deg from geographic N in 19xx, and moves Y deg W each year.
They would only contain errors when the SPEED of movement changes.
Seriously tho, in all my camping trips, we never bother calculating true N.
I mean, trees, hills, Am I really going to mistake that mountain from that valley?
People that need to calc T N, will know how to calc it properly.

Look at the history of tech. Things get cheaper... to a point. Then they just add features instead of lowering price.
Here's the lazy direct link version

Isn't most of the size of our MBs for expansion slots? Cutting them out isn't really a big innovation.
I WOULD like to ask tho, in this age of miniturization, why are there so many chips on our MBs, and capacitors etc.
Can't they integrate it all to a handful of chips?
I mean, why does my sound card have a dozen capacitors?

The big deal is, it would use LESS BATTERY POWER.

That IS what Related Sites is about.
They record how often and how many ppl visit pages, where the came from/where they go.
Tries to work out what topis these pages are from, then tries to tell u what is related based on both their info and what other ppl have done.

Then it's no longer non lethal.
Skins are here to stay.
The question is, WHERE should it be implemented?
I think it should be at the OS level, so that it applies to ALL apps. Consistent, yet customisable.
The problem is if App A has its own skin with the close box at the bottom left corner while App B has a totally different skin with the close box at the top right.

I was expecting any explanation from the article.
Instead, they just tell us this puzzle has been unsolved since C17, and now it's solved.
Would someone mind telling us, now that it's solved, WHY it happens?
It's like the editor forgot to publish page 2.
It's prolly unicode, not a pad byte.
