No, I'm serious. It really is somewhat an "other" browser today. I see more and more sites that work correctly with Opera and Exploder but not Netscape. (Oh yeah, Mozilla rocks. I'm talking about Netscape here.)
Age of Empires (published by MS) not good enough for ya?
You hit the nail on the head. The key word in that sentence is published. Microsoft didn't develop it -- they bought the rights to it. The same goes for most of their other games. Heck, even Solitaire was "Developed for Microsoft by Wes Cherry" and FreeCell is "by Jim Horne". Much nicer versions of FreeCell are out there, BTW. Minesweeper is "by Robert Donner and Curt Johnson", and Pinball was licensed to Microsoft by Maxis.
The list of these things go on and on. Probably half the software published by Microsoft was actually written by some independent shareware developer or a company of some kind. Microsoft then bought the rights to it (or bought the company) and published it under the Microsoft name, claiming another "innovation". For example, the On-Screen Keyboard in W2K is actually written by Madenta, and Imaging for Windows is written by Eastman Software. Microsoft Windows Backup is written by VERITAS. I could go on and on, but I must sleep now.
Actually. I thought it was more like - hey, we made a car...but you have to use our gas to drive the sum'bitch!
Furthermore, you may use our car, and only our car, to visit certain places with whom we have contracts. These include your local supermarket, your local movie theater, your local fast food restaurant.
Also, you may not share the car with anyone or open the hood to see how it works. You must agree to a special license (not related to your driver's license) in order to be able to use the car.
Allowing the missles' design to be discovered may cause the loss of many more lives than those that would potentially be saved if the rescue mission was done right away. Yes, being stuck in a submarine underwater is not a pleasant experience. I certainly wouldn't want to be in that situation, and I hate the fact that this happened.
The difference between a good leader and a bad leader is that the good leader won't allow his or others' emotions to influence his decisions, but will actually pick the best choice -- even if it conflicts with the majority's opinion. I am not defending Putin, because I don't know exactly what happened. However, we cannot decide for sure until the facts are known.
All of the standard mac dialogues have keyboard actions, enter for default, command-s for save, esc for cancel, command-d for don't save, command-n for new folder,
As opposed to one-key shortcuts on Windows.
As for selecting text, hold down shift and move the arrow keys...
Not in MacOS... last time I tried that on MacOS 8.x and 9, it didn't work. Maybe I was pressing a different Shift?:)
The MacOS keyboard accessibility is as defined as it is limited. While there is a set of standard-throughout-everything shortcuts, they only cover a small part of the functionality. For example, I cannot run a menu (that doesn't have a preset shortcut key) or push a button with the keyboard. Heck, I can't even select text in a textbox without the mouse.
OTOH, the standardization of everything in MacOS is unlike anything else I've ever seen. Every version includes some new improvements, like the keychain that can be used from any program. Clearly defined APIs allow anyone to implement something in their program without having to rewrite it. This is sort of like what Microsoft tries to do -- only it works much better.
What's thisssss? Could it be? The widgetsessss! They're keyboard-accessesssssible! Shortcutsessss abound! No moussssing required!
Hooray!
(Explanation: One of the biggest reason I shy away from MacOS, X, and some other GUIs and continue to use Windows on the desktop is the way a mouse seems to be required to use those. In Windows (well, I use NT) just about anything can be done with the keyboard, unless the developer of the particular program went out of his way and wrote some custom widgets or something.)
Yep, the first thing I thought when I saw this article. They sent me an almost free webcam, too -- Intel PC Camera USB. (I had to pay them $12 to put it in a box and ship it.)
Someone mentioned using XML for cards. One thought lead to another, and...
Why not use a floppy for the access card? Besides being slightly bigger than the credit-card sized library cards (my library actually uses a keychain-sized thingy), why not? I'm sure that there is a good way to make it secure, even with the easy accessibility of a floppy editing system.
On the other hand, small libraries will have an easy method of doing everything without paying thousands to get library cards printed. Why not use floppies for access control in general? I can't think of a better way to do it (today), besides buying either an expensive card scanner or barcode reader and ordering the cards for it.
I want you to show me a new song (within the last 50 years) that has told some form of epic story using a rock n' roll genre as it's basis. I don't think it exists.
I think you're missing the point here. Music is about the melody, rhythm, and... well... music! Think classical, or something like Pink Floyd. Lyrics are nice, but they are only secondary. If you want good lyrics, read poetry. A lot of the music I listen to doesn't even have any words. But if you want an example of something with good lyrics, try a Pink Floyd album or two (just an example.)
In short... You should go out there and experience something besides pop. (Pop, in this case, meaning anything made within the last 10 years that is played on MTV.)
If they were good samaritans they'd attempt to do a better job of policing people when infringements are brought to their attention.
I'm sorry, but I can't agree here. The whole point of a carrier is that they don't police anything. Sort of like a telephone company -- you can't sue them if their network is used for, let's say, dealing drugs. Once you start policing, you can be held responsible for anything that you miss.
These pervs^H^H^H^H^H people could be attacked, their houses burned etc. If that's not "individual rights over the collective" I don't know what is. I personally would be happy to see them castrated and hung, but that's not the way a civilized society works and I accept that, because ultimately it protects me too - what if someday, somebody thinks (wrongly of course) that I molested their child?.
This has happened in England a week or two ago. A tabloid took justice into its own hands, and published the names of convicted sex offenders. As a result, mobs of "vigilantes" gathered and terrorized these supposed sex offenders and pedophiles. In some cases, houses were burned down, and people were badly injured or even killed. Of course, this didn't prevent a "few" (almost half of the cases) innocent people being hurt, at least one of them being driven to suicide, where either a person's name was similar to or the same as that of a convicted sex offender, a person was merely accused of the crime and not convicted, or the person was otherwise merely suspected of being a "bad guy".
But that doesn't matter, right? As long as we get those evil bad guys, what does it matter if a few innocent people get hurt in the process?
Probably because most of what you actually consider "Linux" is actually GNU software. Without GNU, Linux is worthless. Besides the kernel, what else is there? LILO? While you could potentially install Emacs on Windows, Windows doesn't come with Emacs pre-installed. OTOH, most (if not all) Linux distributions come with a lot of GNU software preinstalled.
Heck, you use make and gcc to compile the kernel itself, and you use gnutar to extract the source. Chances are that the shell you use is from GNU. And so on...
It must be really late for me to reply to such an obvious troll...:)

Oh, storage and camera. Let's ignore other springboard modules - mp3 player, gps device, wireless modem, vibrating alert, 802.11, etc.
Ok, let me rephrase that. There are very few useful things that Springboard modules can do that software can't.
USB is MUCH faster, I've compared both. If your syncs are held back by your dialup thing, then how can you comment on the USB speed increase?
What I meant to say is that although the sync time is much faster with USB, it isn't that long to begin with. I really don't mind waiting an extra minute.
