I'm still bitter about this[techtv] screw up:(
Apparently, an intelligent network about tech was something a microsoft shareholder certainly doesn't want:(
violating non-discolsure agreaments with upstart Go! to further their PocketPC OS.
Adding an intentional anti-Quicktime bug in Win95.
Charging 3.50$ US a minute for some of the lousiest phone support I've dealt with during my time as a seller of their wares.
Anti-trust convictions with 0 improvement of their practices.
charging 6 times more then their next competitor for a lousier more constrictive license.
Nope, their squeekyclean.
get a clue.
I must interject here. Albeit I do agree that blocking port 25 will definitely help filter out dumb users sending spam, it has a side effect.
My ISP limits outbound attachments to 7 megs and does not allow the sending ot zip files(so I use rar). I work in animation. That really sucks, trying to get my contractor to open up an IRC or MSN client to send files out.
"Freedom" has nothing to do with it. It's "functionality".

small correction on two postings in this thread:
Prince of Egypt was not a Disney flic. It was created by Dreamworks.
Pirates of the Carribean was a Bruckheimer[bad boys 2, Gone in 60 Secs] film(not even on "Disney" DVD), however Disney did not leave empty handed. The PotC license was aquired from them to make teh movie(was a part of Disney World pre-movie, and someone mentioned a graphic novel)
and you are more then happy to give XX% of your paycheck to pay for lawyers who work for big industry to prosecute civilians of your own country with the same penalty as DUI for having a computer download a song that cost a fraction of that amount to produce and brought in thousandfolds that amount to non-talented exec-heads, when the burden of proof is that the RIAA says they "might" be downloading music?
May wanna give some of that money to charity instead if you're so keen on getting rid of it:/
here's a scenario:
US decides it wants to invade some other goddam country that just happens to use GPS for it's weapons(not that much a stretch so far, now is it?)
The us would not "turn off certain areas" as that would be impractical and difficult.
They would LOWER THE RESOLUTION of ALL NON-US-MILITARY equipment. ALL countries would suffer for it.
There is more to this world then the goddam US.
us has already used it's power over GPS
just a few years ago, GPS resolution was far worse for anyone not from the military. They finally made it higher res for the rest of the folks a couple ago but they reserve the right to make it fuzzy again in times of war
I sold GPS devices at a Radio Shack at the time. We had lots of complaints about that.
So you better go do some research before flaunting your USA-All-The-Way nonsense.
which is why some other extensions have something faaaaar worse then site finder(try typing a nonexistent.ws address). Each country code has the country's registry make the rules. Only GTLDs have this much regulation.
yer forgetting two things about universal expension and standard theory(I know, ST sucks, but it's what we have to go on)
St allows tunnelling which could transport energy from one universe to the next(or destroy it), although the probability of such would be extraneously infinitesimally small[but we are dealing in trillions of years].
Also, 'Brane theory says that our universe may indeed be "colliding" with teh branes of other Universes, also providing additional energy.
I don't know, the Universe is too symmetrical and elegant to die off of something as stupid as entropy:P
what are the odds someone hasn't already done this in Flash?
Hell, many flash sites use tweens bounds to user input to vary the alpha channel of a symbol. Flashkit.com should have some examples, I would imagine.
And macheads, don't be so goddam retarded. This is bad, plain and simple. Apple, I don't know if you've realised, is capable of just as much nasty proprietary behavior as M$ and has done so in the past. And you can't excuse it by saying "But they're not the monopoly!"
Apple & Microsoft both suck, live with it.
And patenting something as retarded as a multi-desktop or a transparent window(I don't give a shit about user input, it's a goddam transparent window.) What's next, patenting a room with white walls?
And I do believe the parent post was asking for prior art, not "Well, it's Apple, their cool!" and "No it's not".
Interfaces should arguably NOT be patentable. And "components" of that interface should DEFINITELY not be patented.
And finally, patenting does NOT drive innovation. Innovation drives it. The wheel is not patented. Pyramids are not patented. PCs grew because of a patent loophole let another company make em.
I didn't create my little custom pen holder because I wanted to patent it. I did it because it WORKED.
"Oh, but without patents, large companies will rip you off". They do anyway, dipshit. They just now use patents to do it. Go fig.
Slashdot Mirror
well, I was able to embed images in a properly formatted assignment saved as RTF in wordpad(wordpad) and open it up on a Mac with no issues.
I still don't think you've actually tried the standard
my question is which retard modded a post ending in "Which retard modded this insightful?" as Informative?
Is there an easy way to submit this to the USPTO, thereby causing them to re-assess and making any further claims by this company mute?
submit that the the USPTO then:P

Anyone ever wonder why the computers on CSI use something akin to fancy Flash-isms to pull up sensitive data and process complex things?
Or why every damn menu, key or command comes with a bleep or beep noise? Frankly, I'd just get annoyed and pound my fist through the monitor;)

semantic nonsense for the sake of making yourself feel smarter is also annoying. Get a life.
here's an idea. link to some of those services and let the slashdotting begin:)
Dude, get a life.
if I tap and hold on my taskbar on my cassiopeia, I get the menu.
