I don't think it's blue vs red (as other users have posted), but there are some definite trends. For example, compare to the map of the Post-Election Racist Tweets to see some interesting data:

I'm with you, I didn't like the idea of paying them either. The problem is, it's much cheaper for the business to pay it and have him go away then let the site sit DDoS'd for ages...it's a hard decision. Feels like negotiating with terrorists though.
I assume this was tounge-in-cheek, but realistically, we're actually headed that way. Licensing boards for software developers, etc.
The problem is, as a software developer, it's much more costly to fix 100% of bugs than it is to fix 98% and not worry about that last 2%.
If we held every developer to task for every bug in software, we'd have a whole lot less software written, and what would be written would cost 10x as much.
The Nintendo 3DS absolutely kills my eyes. I looked at it for about 10 seconds and my eyes started watering. I have a hard time believing that's good for them.
On the other hand, it got them there, but didn't do a whole lot of good. From Wikipedia:
"The descent took almost five hours and the two men spent barely twenty minutes on the ocean floor before undertaking the three-hour-and-fifteen-minute ascent. Their early departure from the ocean floor was due to their concern over a crack in the window caused by the intense pressure of their descent, and also because their landing on the sea bed had stirred up a cloud of silt which reduced visibility to zero and showed no sign of settling."
So hopefully the new technology will give us a longer, more interesting time at the bottom...
Looking at the picture, I think it's likely that it's built with a circular display around the z axis, so the width is probably a diameter measurement. 96 pixels in diameter and 128 pixels tall seems to make sense to me.
Say what you will, but Israel is not a country I'd mess with.
Consider their history....there have been countless efforts to wipe them off the face of the planet, from back in Biblical times to the Nazi regime. Yet not only are they still around, but they've managed to get their country re-established, in the same location, after not existing for hundreds of years.
That's one country I want to keep on our side, packing or not...
I agree that it has some issues, but what if if it doesn't auto-sort?
What if it just highlights, bolds, or otherwise brings attention to different emails in a way that makes it easier to visualize? I'm all for that.
I've been developing in C# for sometime now. I've also done extensive development in Java, PHP, and Perl. I can tell you that the.Net framework and Visual Studio is by FAR the most productive environment for developing desktop applications, and (in some instances) web apps.
And you're complaining that someone is working to bring all the applications developed on the.Net framework, and the.Net development environment itself, to Linux?
WTF is your problem? Are you really that stupid to think that interoperability with MS tools/frameworks is a BAD thing? How many people do you think would use Linux at ALL if Samba didn't allow communication to Windows boxes? Or what if there was no way to read/write an NTFS partition? Interoperability is key, and the task Miguel has undertaken is a good one. Quit complaining that someone's working to make Linux a more competitive OS.
It's a lot simpler than hat. They want to provide a complete solution. A lot of Oracle's potential customers aren't Windows users -- they're bigger than that, and currently run big IBM mainframes, Unix systems, etc (think banks, insurance comapnies, etc). Those are the guys that Oracle is after.
If Oracle goes to a bank and says "we'll sell you the database and some of these tools, and then this other company will sell you these other pieces, and it'll all work out great", they'll be laughed out the door. Big, slow companies want ONE company to pull something together for them when it comes to their back-end systems (who do you think hires companies like IBM?).
By providing their own copy of Linux, they can say "look, we'll provide and support your database, and your OS. Anything you need, we've got it". And that makes the CEOs sleep better at night.
Does Oracle care about MS? Sure. But they're not looking to replace XP, or go after any desktop market at all. They care about the big guys with the big $.
Easy sol'n on windows is to rename the old exe first. I've used it in self-updating code I've written. Rename the existing exe, place the new exe in its place, tell the app to restart itself, and voila, a self-updating executable, no reboot required.
It's fairly easy to handle multiple formats in software
How true...I never run into problems trying to get CSS1 and CSS2 to work properly across IE/Safari/Firefox/Konqueror/etc. Granted, some of them implement the standard improperly (*cough...IE..*), but this is what happens when multiple standards exist for the same purpose. I for one don't like re-creating my work for RSS 0.7/1.0/Atom/whatever...that's 3x the work I have to do. And then we'll get RSS 10.0...

There were hundreds of IPs. Looked like a small (or portion of a large) botnet.
Stupid cookies. See above, we did check with him.

The "world" in "world series baseball" refers to the newspaper, not the globe.

You know the thread the other day about Apple not suing Palm? How about this patent:
http://technologizer.com/2010/04/29/palm-patents/5/
Sounds a lot like the new iPhone to me...
For those of you as confused by the numbers as I was:
-Only 8 of the 10 successfully ran on Windows 7, the other 2 failed to even start
-Of the 8 that successfully started, 1 was blocked by UAC

I hate to ask, but is there such a tool for windows? It'd be really handy, since I'm stuck on it...

- saving a wireless connection with no SSID;
- hibernating;
- coming back from hibernation;
- re-establishing a wireless connection AFTER coming back from hibernation (assuming you managed to get that far);
- checking your battery consumption
- ???
and then tell me there's nothing to complain about.You, my friend, have obviously not been charged $40+ for an oil change.

They've said they're going to cut the prices in half. I'd say thats REALLY undercutting.
