iPhone is still "it" for those of us who want a powerful *NIX-based cellphone
I think you don't need to say *NIX anymore. OS X Leopard 10.5 is certified UNIX, and as the iPhone is based on OSX, isn't the iPhone the first UNIX phone?
even if we have to fight Steve Jobs tooth and nail for it.
I thought Apple is going to open up the platform for developers.
It is thus hard to figure out how it gets any forward motion, or how he would compensate for a tilt in the aircraft. Not sure how this works. He probably uses the oral method: "Lean forward please!"
If they would give him anything, and he only got 15K?????? What an idiot. Yeah but they promised him he would meet Elvis! That counts for something too I would think.
Very funny, but I suspect this thing is going to be controlled with a keycard coded to your aparment. Insert keycard, you and your car go to the parking, you leave car, open door and you're in your hallway. So, no button-pushing pranksters, I fear. Nowadays pushing the button is done remotely. Think of using your remote control to change channels at the neighbours. The kids across the street will try to hack it, probably use the closed camera circuit to see how it works out.
I'm thinking about how to make a funny and clever comment about the two chicks in the picture in the article. They appear to stand on snow, which clearly is a reference to Tux, and this is especially true for the blond one in the black dress. What is this rope pulling anyway? What are they fighting over? If one wins, all they have is the rope to slap the other one. The rest is nothing but thin air.
If this picture is meant to illustrate the fight between Linux and Microsoft, I want to be in the middle! Yeah!
Was WGA holding back a tide of potential upgrades, or did it just send people over to alternative browsers? Not only alternative browsers, but also alternative systems. OS X and Ubuntu are gaining grounds. And Vista is a serious reason to consider those alternatives!
If you create multiple backups on DVD, not destroying the old ones, that is probably safe enough. From time to time you can test whether it still opens.
So it was not like the meeting was anti-OOXML. It was fair and balanced. He apparently asked to voice his opinion as a private citizen (a request that was granted) due to pressure from Microsoft. And his opinion was based on facts that Microsoft could not refute. So MS pressured him to give his opinion? Then they probably suspected that he was not a fan. In that case this was an excellent move to get rid of him.
Dude, you must invoke the Words of Might "Terrorist", "Microsoft", "patents" or maybe "emacs" to get a reaction here. That's all negative. Here are some positive "Words of Might": Open source, Apple, Vim, Linux and let's not forget: boobs!
I had thought of keeping the movies on DVD and the desktops on a USB drive (I think 4GB ought to be enough for most of my data --that is, not the movies). Keep in mind that DVD is not a safe backup medium over time. The disks deteriorate over time, but it's impossible to predict if/when this will happen.
Weekly, I replicate from the media center to a portable USB drive. On Mondays, the USB drive goes to the office with me and stays there till Friday. That still leaves two days of the week that your backup is not offsite. I recommend that you buy a second USB drive. Every Monday you bring a new backup to the office, and every Friday you bring the oldest backup home. That way you have during the week two backups offsite, and during the weekends the most recent. The investment is low, and there is no extra work involved in the backup scheme.
Usmanov is also dogged by the widespread belief in Uzbekistan that he was guilty of a particularly atrocious rape, which was covered up and the victim and others in the know disappeared.
The section above leaves me feeling very uncomfortable. If someone made this kind of unsubstantiated allegation towards me, I would want it removed.
'Widespread belief' is very difficult to quantify and in any event, is certainly not proof of guilt. "Widespread belief" is not the same as guilt, and it is not presented as guilt here. So I don't see the problem.
I don't think Apple could just take NeoOffice and do whatever it wants with it without a huge outcry from the community. But to reach something like Keynote, you need to do exactly that. I don't know about NeoOffice, but they could take OpenOffice Aqua, support that. The problem with NeoOffice is that the interface is slow, although they made enormous improvements. I hope 2.2 is another speed improvement. I'm curious how OpenOffice Aqua will perform. Apple could help here really good. Furthermore NeoOffice is really slow with large documents with many pictures in it.
I know Adobe wanted to push PDF as an alternative to HTML at some point. It didn't happen, and we should be glad it didn't. PDF is for print, and for that purpose it's a good enough format. I prefer it over Word. And HTML with special CSS for print purposes just isn't good enough. So it definitely is relevant to the web today, as a download format for printing content.

I haven't had many, but I do get an occasional spam mail in my Gmail inbox.
Hovsepian lies.
If I follow your reasoning, it is not about what Microsoft says that counts, but what they do. Up till now they didn't sue anyone over patent issues.It's NOT what they SAY that counts, it's what they DO.
This means Amazon is a terrorist organization! See Amazon.co.uk: The Anarchist Cookbook (Paperback).
This sounds like Bush saying Iraq is a free democracy.

They probably forgot to display the result as decimal?
Ooops, replied to the wrong thread...
Now they can play Pong from outer space!
