Well, u know, the concept of file extensions was invented/patented by an independent company way before MS DOS. In fact, I believe MS pays a licencing fee for using it in Windows.
You know, the reason whistle blowers need an anonymizing service is that some self proclaimed 'religious organisations' have lots of lawyers that they send out to destroy the lives of the said whistle blowers. When the said organisation can convince the judge that their 'religious text' is copyrighted, the mere act of discussing the text is then a copyrighted infringement and may be viewed as illegal.
So a guy who spends his time copying other people's look and feel for different program finds a bug. Arguably a bug that millions of others would be able to find and probably already had reported to Apple. So he thinks Apple should give him rights to all their intellectual property? There is no irony here. If he wants to be paid to find bugs, he should get a job as a tester.
Lets see. Rest your arms on your chair armrests and relax your whole forearm and hands. Are your hands horizontal? Probably not. More likely somewhere between 45% and vertical. So how can you say forcing your hands to fit a flat KB is natural or painless?
On the other hand, having both hands so close together doesn't seem too comfy. But I guess you can't have a great big block in front of you.
No. You plug your a TV into your laserdisc player, not your PC. You should have a keyboard for your computer already. All you need is an LD player. (and a TV)
If your script is going to go around patching everyone elses holes, why would those 'idiots' ever know they had a problem in the 1st place? Wouldn't they just think they had the most secure system in the world that never had a security problem?
OK, xStore thought they were buying something from Microtest (proprietary software), but in fact they were getting something entirely different (allegedly GPL'd software). Wouldn't that constitute fraud of some sort on Microtest's part?
No users know about these new TLDs or any businesses under them. No businesses will register any of these if they know no user is going to know where to find them.
Plus, no business would dare register under one of the new TLDs unless they owned the.com version. It's guaranteed they'd face a lawsuit from the.com owner, and we all know in these cases the money always wins.
I don't think color says anything about what a food tastes like or their edibility. The only cue something is wrong is when there's a patch that's DIFFERENT colored to the rest of the item.
It's great to see so many people here with their heads screwed on right to be able to think past blind vengence like the public media. What worries me is that every single article I have seen in the public reader (ie what the average person reads) have been talking about war and killing without trial. What's more, the online version of these sites don't allow people to comment. The public is being brainwashed into thinking that we should bomb the Taliban because we suspect they are harboring a person we suspect had something to do with the hijackers. Journalists are telling us we want to start WW3 on a suspicion, not any hard proof. World leaders are acting like we can stop any war we start with a switch. How can it be that there is not a voice of reason on a single mainstream media article?
It will take months to clear all the rubble. There are people still waiting to be rescued under those towers. How can they all be so intent to start a war when there are so many other things we have to deal with first?
Well, actually, natural keyboards came out way before MS got interested in them, and I don't see anything good with MS mice. The Taiwanese had wheel mice about 7yrs before MS made theirs.
Optical mice had been popular about 20yrs ago, the only new thing MS added was the ability to work on most surfaces instead of special mousepads. I have always found MS mice to be too big for my hands, and the MS optical, whose shape is much more comfortable than previous mice, got its shape by copying Logitech's MouseMan+ range (including placement of extra buttons and ribbed wheel).
So they want me to believe that a film producer in a small town woke up one day and developed video over 28.8k when nobody else in the world could do it?
OK, given that ViaVoice currently takes up about 300MB of disk space and needs a minimum system of about 450MHz and 128 RAM, I wonder how accurate the speech for a PDA would be.
Not only do they claim to have just about all the features ViaVoice has, they also claim to be able to run in speaker independent mode - something no other software has been able to do reliably. This will be interesting.
Why? Because even tho it's stable for YOU now, it's totally unusable for ME. Granted some of the hardware I use is pretty crappy (S3 Trio graphics card gives me headaches all the time), but that shouldn't explain why it crashes on me every time I open a few (3-4) windows. Granted I'm part of only a very small percentage of users, but if you're suggesting Mozilla developers should start patting themselves on the back then you're kidding yourself.
Given the amount of trouble I've had, I'm not going to touch it again until 1.0. And also until they trim down the file size. I thot the thing was supposed to be efficient and stuff, fit on one floppy or whatever.
Hmm.. it's not theft, but one could argue that it takes users away from my site, thus I would lose potential future revenues. I wonder if we could get the MPAA and RIAA to give evidence on how much billions of loss they endured because users were lured away from their sites?
Hmm. I thot your DMCA said it was illegal to decrypt stuff w/o the owner's permission. So even if they had the key, they shouldn't be allowed to use it w/o a warrant.
Anyway, that key sniffer sure sounds like a circumvention device to me. Better go arrest the manufacturers too while you're at it.
Owning RDRAM because it has a high max bandwidth is as useful as owning an F1 racing car for daily commutes in heavy traffic.
Basically Intel has realised that everyone on the internet knows that for their office apps/games SDRAM gives much better performance even without considering cost. Very few people have a use for RDRAM, and their sales surely shows that.
I don't see why they would transition PalmOS to Linux. The second they do this, they become irrelevant. People like Handspring and Sony would no longer pay Palm for every machine they made, and would likely be able quickly gain dominance over Palm. I mean, Sony already got mp3s onto Palm before Palm did.
he saw the word "digital" in a few different places and assumed it was all the same thing
The average person IS going to assume digital means HDTV. What average non-tech head has the patience to wait on customer service lines to ask for details from a phone rep who won't have a clue anyway. As you can see, he DID try to phone and email several people who SHOULD have known, but they gave him the wrong information (or just ignored him).
There's probably a problem trying to keep track of how many sites link to the site in question, and every time a page changes, you have to recalculate the weights of sites linked from that page.
Then you have to consider stuff like 404 pages that redirect to a page that links to the main site.
After that there are banner ads etc which you may or may not want to exclude from the weighting.
You can't put it down to nicking code. I mean, if it were that, Mozilla would be ready, wouldn't it?
It's probably more because MS diverted their best and brightest from every other product it had to work on IE. During those years they must have spent more $ on making IE than working on Windows, Office, and all their other stuff put together...

The government can't protect you.
How can you say in your 2nd paragraph that closing down a provider will give volume to other providers and enhance privacy
Then in the 3rd paragraph say that communications are more traceable and less anonymous?
OK, I need the service /. provides. If they started doing that, where would you find a competing service?
OK say I use ICQ becuz all my frends use it. If they start doing bad things with ads, is there a close substitute?
I don't think so. Plenty of sites have quite inelastic demand that would suit this kinda tech.
