Yes. Absolutely. I'm looking at this on my new 21" LCD (yea, buddy!) while I listen to my iPod. I am waiting for a call on my bluetooth-enabled cellphone. I am downloading Knoppix with my laptop. My PocketPC is chirping because my alarm clock is going off. My MythTV box is currently recording the latest offerings from Science Channel. Tomorrow night, I will be setting up my four-old son's new computer in his room (complete with wi-fi, of course).
I could not imagine my life without said items. Seriously. I would think that means the answer, at least in my case, is yes.
not that anyone really uses a file selector for a webbrowser
Unlike you, the rest of the world finds the need to upload a file once in a while using a HTML form. Example: using gmail and attaching a file to an email.
people's complaints about Gnome just because of a dialogue box that is open 0.1% of computer usage time or less is really clutching at straws.
No, what you are witnessing is people airing a legitimate complaint. By the way, it's not just the file selector. I know I am veering off-topic slightly, but for the most part, Gnome is just ugly. Sorry for being blunt, but it's true. Sure, you can get the job done with Gnome. I prefer KDE because it looks polished and it's more exciting to use. Both will easily accomplish the same tasks, but KDE does it with style and grace.
What part of the county do you live in? I live in Colorado, and I have never ever recieved anything from the Bill foundation. In fact, I do contract work for the local school district and the majority of the PC's are less then 500 MHz/128MB RAM/10GB HDD. So when you say you just upgraded to 2.8 Celeron D's in your whole school, while I am fighting to keep ~300 500MHz machines running, you can see why I am bitter. So screw you. Either you're a liar (at worst) or you are in a preferential area (at best). Either way, screw you.
I wonder if he will buy me another core memory plane so I can complete this upgrade I've been working on? Seems like he could preserve quite a bit of history of he did.. As in another 255 KB of my history at any given point!
One of the main reasons why I use KDE is because it looks and feels like KDE. I love the look and feel of KDE. I sincerely hope that it does not go any other way. Why should we submit to what other people want? I know that sounds arrogant, but so what. I like what I like, and if people don't like it, then don't freakin use it.
Having said that, I can foresee an "option" to use the "original-style" KDE, which I could live with too. I am not trolling, and not flamebaiting. This is truly my opinion.
Googe has beaten Microsoft to the "software as a service" model. Bill has been talking about how "you have to offer software as a service" for a while now... It's ironic that someone else beat em.
The biggest challenge of said "hand" will be the adaptation/grafting onto the human body. It will be difficult to train patients to use the new hand, since it has so many possible individual movements. Maybe a wearable device could mitigate that factor,...
Harder to mitigate, however, is going to be the cost. Trying to get this product to be affordable enough to be used by large quantities of people will be another feat, comparable to the one mentioned in TFA.
And I suppose that the discharge is the result of an alien "nuclearite war?"
(for those who haven't seen Grease 2, one of the main chars. seduces a girl into a fallout shalter after his friends blare the air-raid sirens. He then unsuccessfully attempts to get laid, based on the premise that the world is about to end and he about to go out and die in the fight for glory... But he is so out of touch that instead of "Nuclear War", he calls it "Nuclearite war")
JavaScript, DHTML, CSS and HTML! If I can't read it with Emacs/Vi/NotePad, it's worthless!
I don't know what versions of the above editors you have installed, but I can quite easily read all of those text files with any of the above editors (with the possible exception of Notepad, haven't tried with Wine just yet)
Good advice. I have always found flash to be especially irritating. Now, with FlashBlock, I get the best of both worlds. I have it installed, in case I need it for whatever reason, but it is blocked from my sight by default, which is the way I like it.
I still had to agree to the license agreement, but wtf. I don't have a laptop anymore, so I think I'm safe:)
From what I understand, there are several robot programs that go through AOL chat rooms and suck down screen names for use in spam operations. I would suspect that that technique is:
- more effective, since all of the addresses you gather are known good - cheaper, since you can get millions of addresses a week then cancel your free trial - less risky
A spammer that pays that kind of money for such a seemingly worthless list of stolen addresses should look for another line of work.

They need a useful and configurable GUI that actually exposes all the options, and would be able to FIGURE IT OUT.
So, you mean they need KDE!

HA! I literally laughed out loud at that screenshot.

I bet it's also [at least] ten times as expensive as flash memory

come home, get sloshed, watch cartoons, code, pass out... ah, the good life :) i love being a nerd!
If I'm not mistaken, Mucha Lucha, Teen Titans, Kids Next Door, and several other "mainstream" cartoon network shows are produced in Flash as well.

Seems kinda like the same deal here!

Agreed. Diabetes can be managed, and if a human lives to like 120, would you even want to have kids at that point?
The trick for researchers will be to find ways of getting the life-enhancing results of Klotho while avoiding the drawbacks
Isn't that always the goal of a research scientist? To find the benefits, while mitigating or eliminating the drawbacks?
I did indeed see it, thanks :) Very cool, looks like I have a night of code browsing ahead of me. yipee! :D

So much for Darl's open letter!
