Don't forget about Unreal Tournament. It was compatible with a certain version of the UT PC code, so you could play a LAN game with other people, assuming you all used that patch. Sure, it might not have been the best setup, but it was workable. The dreamcast players never really stood a chance, as the controls didn't give enough response to be able to play well. But you could still play. I believe that Quake III also had a similar ability. Maybe not the best use of the broadband adaptor, but still another use.
Worse than a broken LCD, it's a tablet PC. There's probably plenty of people who would be happy to get a computer with a broken LCD, rather than a tablet PC.
Ahh, yes, the old recursive function. Or was that a reference to the fact that a programmer could be called a "long-hair"? Or maybe even a reference to the "personal habits" of a lonely person? It could be taken many ways, but I think it's funny no matter how you look at it.
Unless he was referring to countries where it is normal to drive on the left side of the road. I see that his homepage is in Belgium, which is just across the English Channel from the UK, where they drive on the left side of the road. I see your point, that you shouldn't have parallel parking on both sides of the road, but my first thought was that he was from another country.
Ahh crap, that was a joke? I've been waiting for something like that for a while. I thought I could find my soulmate. The FAQ seemed reasonable enough. Back to my pathetic life.
Nah, some people think Apple is elite, and sophisticated. Nobody thinks that about Flavorade. It's more like the Sorny brand TV's. Similar, but really just a rip off.
Maybe I'm the only one who RTFA'd that noticed that the picture of Ballmer looks a little doctored. They airbrushed out his shoulders to make him look less bulky and intimidating. Makes me wonder what else they did. Did they paste that smile on his face, too? Maybe doctor out some chairs? I think it was most obvious because I would guess that he doesn't let his artists use Photoshop, and they had to doctor the photo in MS Paint.
But caching it where? Either way, he would still have to make a repeated number of outbound connection attempts to check the lists. I can understand that caching would reduce the load on an originating server, but for the situation he described, it would be the same amount of connections either way. I'm not against caching RSS, except for the apparently random delay in updates that would have to occur for the caching to have any purpose, but caching wouldn't help in this situation.
I would hope that less than 0.1% of the population has changed the timezone on your cell phone. I'm fairly sure that I'm the only one who has set the time zone on my phone, unless it was before it got to me.
I would say that it is due to the fact that there is effectively an unlimited amount of liability for health insurance. With auto insurance, the liability is basically limited to the car (yes, there are injuries, but those aren't in every situation). If the car is wrecked, then the car can be replaced. For a health insurance company, they can't say: "I'm sorry, but your son Bobby is too sick. You'll have to replace him with a similar model." It is seen as immoral to have a dollar value on someone's life. The stakes are higher, and the companies don't want to gamble on that.
I know that I've seen problems where a laptop's power settings are set to standby when the lid is closed. Then the owner of the laptop (yeah, I've done it) hits start, shutdown, then hibernate. It appears to start the process, then the user shuts the lid. I'm not sure exactly what happens there, but it seems that it has sort of a race to either standby or hibernate first, but either way, it appears successful. When you power it back up, it comes back to the process of finishing the other one. This nearly always fails, causing the computer to crash.
It could be looked at as a stupid user, but a case could also be made that if hibernate and standby were simply seperate runlevels, then this problem would not occur. For me, I absolutely save before standby or hibernate.
I was under the impression that at a bad play, the standing ovation at the end was more of a polite clap while rushing out. Either that or a "Thank God it's over" clap. I don't think I would give an actual standing ovation to a mediocre play, but perhaps I'm just too uncultured.
I can't say anything about the advertising, as I haven't used the client in years, but the fact that the default install includes extra junk, suck as the yahoo toolbar, rubs me the wrong way. I only know this because I've known people who install the messenger program, and start asking me where the toolbar came from. I know it's easy enough to remove, or uncheck the box, but it's a pain anyway.
I think that a bigger question is the reverse. If typing c: into an IE window does not bring up the c: drive, then it breaks compatibility. This usually isn't too big a deal, but I did have one time that some spyware caused explorer to crash every time that it tried to register itself as the shell. Before reinstalling windows on his PC (Company policy) he wanted to get his data off the computer. The easiest way to do that was to run iexplore, and then put in c: to get to the c: drive, and start another for the network drive. Without that information, his data could not be easily retrieved. I know that I could have also run cmd, but he wanted to do it in a familiar interface.
On the other hand, if it simply opens up explorer, then what is the point of seperating the two? The security risks would still be there, so it would be pointless to seperate them.
Finally, what about the "in-between" areas. For instance, a network drive. It could be thought of as a network share, and therefore brought up in internet explorer. A mapped drive would almost certainly be in Windows Explorer. Would the network share be in IE until you mapped it, where it would then be in explorer? Or would it all be under Explorer? What about if it is referenced by ip address, like \\127.0.0.1\c$? Though it is quite possible to seperate the two technologically, the mental link in the user's mind is still there. I think this could be messy.
Actually, it's a naked woman, not a naked guy. The naked woman talks the naked guy into it. Can you blame him? I mean, if there was a naked woman standing in front of you, the only woman in existance, and she asked you to eat a piece of fruit, would you? I bet there are few who could resist that. Anyway, if you're going to make a comment like that, at least get it right.
I got the same e-mail, and it turns out that I did have the old DNS servers being spread through my dhcp server. The thing is that the old DNS servers were apparently still operational, since my web traffic was not affected. I also thought of that while reading it, but it probably doesn't have anything to do with it. The only way I can think of that it could is if the old DNS servers had any VOIP servers removed from their records, for instance if they were gradually phasing them out.
Why hasn't slashdot ever heard from the G.N.A.A.'s lawyer?
Likely because they are both internet communities, and the easiest way to get in contact with each other is through e-mail, which would not work if the IP addresses are blocked. Seems obvious to me.

I think it's better than N. Ron. Then you might have a case for calling Google evil.

I'm guessing that if he finds that, then he will sure be shouting. Perhaps not to you, but shouting either way.

Well, you can't cancel one if you don't have one. Therefore you could both be right.

Wow, last Monday was April 1st, too? That's amazing! It's just like in that documentary: "Groundhog Day"
I would think that he means worse because he is paying for it, but it is not of use to him. So, he's forced to pay for something he'll never use.
Any proof? Other than a book that resides in the fiction part of the library? Or any of the other fictional books that it may or may not be based on?

Nah, they just clicked on Windows Help and Support in XP, and printed out the whole thing. Nothing remotely useful there.
Perhaps it is a video player, and the person doing the demo is a fan of Red vs. Blue?
