I was thinking the same thing... "That's weird, I haven't gotten any emails in a few days..."
Then I saw this article, went to see if I had the new interface. Turns out I do. Turns out I also had 30 emails waiting for me.
I find lag in code completion popups unbearable. I used to use eclipse for primarily Java and ActionScript development, but have since been slowly weening myself off eclipse and moving towards jedit.
Before eclipse 3.3, eclipse's code completion popup was SLOW, and I wanted to kill myself everytime it popped up because it threw me off. I'd type "System.out.print," for example, but by the time I got to the "o" in "out" eclipse would just hang, and I'd keep typing, then the box would pop up, then the rest of my text that I typed while eclipse was hanging would fly onto the screen, and then it'd do the same thing for "print" and the whole process of typing out a simple line took 4 or 5 times longer than it should have.
Speed is a lot better in 3.3, but that stupid completion box popping up still annoys me sometimes, especially when I'm just trying to call a method with a short name like "add" or "pop," where the slight lag of the popup coupled with having to select an entry from the list makes it take longer than it normally would to simply type "add," and it MAYBE only saves me one keystroke. Of course I could keep typing and ignore the popup, but there's still that.1 second lag, and it's pretty damn annoying. Completion is nice when it saves me from having to type "someReallyLongStupidlyNamedMethod" over and over, but sometimes completion is just more trouble than it's worth.
It's a matter of education. People are quick to jump on the "BOO RIAA!" bandwagon, even when the RIAA isn't the one committing the particular act of evil. People need to start realizing that it's not _just_ the RIAA and MPAA that are doing these things, and it's not just the RIAA that needs to be held accountable. I think this is the point Anonymous Coward was trying to get across.
I've actually never been taught anything thing about patent law or patents in school. So yes, schools are teaching something.
As for the article you linked to, I believe there's a big difference with some guy coming up with a novel idea and patenting it and making his bucks. Where it gets crappy is when companies start to patent broad or obvious ideas rather than a very specific thing like intermittent windshield wipers. Then things like this with Verizon and Vonage arise where Verizon now has Vonage by the nuts. This seems totally counterproductive. Jobs will probably be lost and Verizon will tighten its grip on the market which isn't good for customers.
"Patents encourage and protect innovations that benefit consumers, create jobs, and keep the economy growing," said John Thorne, Verizon deputy general counsel, in a statement.
Yeah, for whatever company holds the patents. Using this same logic, wouldn't it help everyone a whole lot more if whatever technologies that are patented were allowed to be used by anyone?
I hate patents.
Waited outside gamestop for a few hours on the day the took reservations. We back again Saturday night/Sunday morning for the midnight release. Great little system. I got 4 launch games, but I've played wii sports (the bundled game) more than anything so far. I can't wait until they release some more channels for it; I'm excitied to see what kinds of things they'll do with them in the future. Nintendo got it right this time, I'd say.
No third party in the US has a chance in hell. So what else should they put time into? Even if their party doesn't have any real chance of getting elected into office somewhere, at least their getting the word out. Who cares what their name is? They're trying to do what needs to be done, and that's all that matters. Plus with a name like "The Pirate Party," they're bound to pick up media attention. All the better.
I'm a drummer, and I practice while looking at my screen quite often. I find it much easier to sit here looking at my monitor and slamming out notes on my practice pad than bothering to print out the music and practice elsewhere.
I really wish Finale would get proted to Linux. A good scoring program is really the only thing I miss from my Windows days. Lily Pond is nice, but it just doesn't cut it, and doesn't really do what Finale does. I'm sure many other composers and music people out there would agree.
This is rather untrue. I find Linux very usable. I find OSX very usable. It's just a matter of getting used to one. It's been a few years since I've switched to Linux from Windows, and now I can't use Windows for the life of me. I stumble around through it like, well, someone who's never used it before. Since I am used to Linux, I find it much more usable than Windows. Someone who is used to Windows will find it more usable than Linux. Same goes for any other OS's. Catch my drift?
Something I find really sad is that my sophomore English teacher had to go on a five minute rant on more than one occasion about how you can't write like that in academic papers. I hate people my age. I'm terribly scared for the future.
That's really not very practical, since the wiki is always changing, and most, if not all libraries have computers with internet access available for public use people could just go to the website and always have up-tp-date information.

They're just words.

Then again, what do I know?

Here's to hoping...
Sounds like Microsoft got a dose of their own medicine.
2024 I called it.

Maybe he just prefers Apple?
We should just be glad his advocating the use of something that ISN'T Windows, not upset that he isn't advocating the use of Linux.
"Boo hoo, we only made $50 million and set a box office record on the first day! Let's go blame a protocol for all the losses we are suffering!"
Who cares what Kerry would've done? Point is, Bush _IS_ doing it. Everything is so damn partisan these days.
You can do it with any window manager. You just need to enable composite (assuming you use xorg).
Am I the only one who thought the subject said "Solar-Powered Autonomous Underwear Vehicles"?

That this is just a new version of the LiveCD. No need to reinstall the core system.
You sir, are an idiot.
Correct!

And I'm proud to say I contributed to the goatse.cx article.
