Fluxbox WM has the ability to keep certain apps on a certain workspace, so your dual workspace problem won't happen there. Not the ideal solution, since its at the wm level, but its not bad.
While some people have made good points that the games this directly involves may not be released on Linux, it will still end up jump starting the Linux game industry.
Companies working on the games will begin realizing what a viable platform Linux is for gaming, and begin developing titles for Linux PCs. (Note that "the AP-3 will incorporate hardware based on PC components.")
From the article:
Even if hackers stole the entire database, they couldn't read it because all the data is encrypted using individual users' passwords.
So hacking is not a massive threat, just have to be careful with your own password.
CPU is an excellent magazine. Their columnists (well all but CmrdTaco) have insightful, often eye-opening opinions about the industry and its future, along with similarly interesting interviews . Their hardware reviews are directed toward/. crowd and similar types, telling you the vitals and how it well it does when used. They always have a little bit about some type of coding to whet your palate as well. They also usually have informative articles related to building computers and modding.
Or not.
Microsoft is essentially spending extra money to develop a worse version of Windows they can sell cheaper. Instead of wasting no extra money, and selling Windows XP Home for cheaper to customers in Thailand.
Then people would bulk order windows from Thailand to save costs? Microsoft has enough economic clout to blacklist anyone who tried selling cheap (legit) copies of Office from Thailand.
All in all, I think its a terrible move by Microsoft, so selfish that it costs them extra.
I'm I the only one who finds it hilarious that you question the usefulness of the Internet for these farmers and yet provide links to web sites providing information that you feel is more germaine. I think you've just answered your own question about whether the Internet is useful or not.
Also, spearmen are effective at taking out the first rank of a cavalry charge. Once they "break the line" the cavalry are going to wreak havoc. Rohan had no (or few) archers, which are the normal response to heavy-infantry-spear-weilding types.
Charging into Oliphaunts was not the best idea, but hey, it was the first time most of them had EVER seen oliphaunts! Beginner's mistake eh...:)
I've read (and love) the books, but yes, you're on to something. Its a shame they cut so much, though, some parts of the movie did feel very rushed. Perhaps the Extended Edition will satisfy you... One more year!
That's why Gollum is one of the most successful CG characters ever. If you haven't seen the documentary on TTT extended edition, respectfully called "The Taming of Smeagol" you should definately check it out. The process they went through to finalize Gollum is living proof of how integral reality is to convincing CGI. I was impressed by the painstaking efforts they went through to make Andy Serkis' performance show through in Gollum.
While the battle scenes were very eye appealing, I think that all of the actors did a wonderful job.
Agreed, and in fact I think that the acting job done in the battles themselves were integral as well. The wonderful effects would have been wasted had the acting been bad. Theoden's (Bernard Hill) speech, Gandalf's (Sir Ian McKellan) frantic command, even the desperate and controlled actions of Eomer (Karl Urban). Jackson and his team backed up solid moviemaking with solid visual effects, instead of relying on the Ooohs and Aaahs of the audience. That was why the battles were so appealing.
One thing lacking in both Matrices, was fluidity. The Visual Effects were large, and imposing, but they were choppy and fake; did not represent actual motion very well. The movement in the shots seemed too computer generated, and falsely blurred to overcome choppiness. Granted, this was probably stylization to a point not only a shortcoming. The Matrix effects are definately not to be overly criticized, they impressed thier audiences. Yet, in a year that offered the best visual effects to date (as a whole), the Matrix came up just short.
Firefly was way better than most of the crap out there right now, I do agree.
But don't knock Elimidate. Don't set it up with Blind Date, 5th Wheel, or any other "reality" dating shows. Elimidate is a fine piece of production, and the host-less setting tosses you right in on the action. Its one of the only "reality" dating shows out there thats worth watching. Later seasons have gone towards promoting anger and argument which has been a little upsetting, but most of the show is still extremely well produced and edited. For the most part, thier "casts" are representative of the town they are in, albeit edged towards those with "tv-friendly" bodies. The content they discuss is often surprisingly relevent to real clubbing scenes, even if in an ironic way. The producers take themselves just as serious as they need to, and deliver much of the show with a wink of the eye. Yet they rarely bias against anyone, and never attempt to misrepresent an offhand comment to force edginess. If you go past the acting ability (or inability) of the purposefully amateur actors, and look at the show as a whole, you might notice what a fine piece of work it is!
Coppola deserves the nod for Screenplay, but not for Direction. The direction was a near disaster, and if not for the excellent script and Bill Murray's outstanding acting, the movie would have fallen flat. Murray deserves not only the nod, but the Oscar for best Actor.
Coppola admittedly added many (too many?) personal touches to the movie, and that may be what made the direction seem so washed out.
The flaw is human, but PP does not attempt to make it any easier to make high resolution slides.
The default layout for slides does promote the use of bullet points, which are most often only useful for outlines of presentations.
The main flaw of PP is that it does not include any easy way to make flow charts or cause effect chart. You have to write and position a text box and arrows/lines to do this. This process is very tedious in Powerpoint. If there was an "intelligent" algorithm for constructing an argument, beyond the two level title/text offered by Powerpoint, it would become orders of magnitude more friendly to presenting complex ideas in presentation.
"this helps maintain the sacredness of human life"
And the sacredness of human death, disease, and suffering? While I respect your opinion, please realize its not only to "create life." It's to make life more bearable for many individuals: including Cancer , Alzheimers and Parkinson's patients and thier families.
Openmindedness of everyone will help in curing many ills, and alleviating the suffering of millions of people.
Yeah, paying music fans are going to be shafted in this sort of a decision.
The United States is handling this best, so far, as opposed to England and Canada.
Its not actually ex post facto.
The driving violation *was* illegal at the time, they just didn't use the data to fine you. If they lowered teh speed limit, and tried to fine you for past months "violations" that would be ex post facto.

Well worth checking out, this could lead to a big jump in Gentoo usership.

Which is exactly what image search and froogle have done, and what gmail could very well do.

Coffee is a laxative as well (:
You're not alone: Here's an interesting rant on the topic
Has some hard facts, and some informed opinions on the flaws of the system.

One thing that allows the porn industry to allow its material to be pirated is the much lower salaries it pays its top-rated performers.
He was being ironic, Gumshoe ;)

That was not CGI, as far as I know.
