You create a website or web application. How do you translate it into other languages? -without using some crappy 'BabelFish' layer -without having to write a complete localized version for each language.
What's also funny are those television shows that show clever commercials so people watch tv to watch commercials then when the real commercial break comes, they go to the bathroom.
There was a cartoon on Fox in the mid 90's called EEK, The Cat. Like most cartoons, it has adult messages intertwined within the content. This one had an element of slapstick violence like the classic Looney Toons.
There was one episode about how Political Correctness is getting way out of hand and eventually violence in cartoons will be legislated away wo there you will have a non-offensive circle character walking happily with a non-offensive character but with a different color. The two of them will hold hands while one of them will accidently falls of a building and falls comfortably into a pillow.
This is getting off topic but from what I'm seeing in 'kid' shows today (like Barney,etc...) they're already changing classic stories to be PC.
Just saw this with my kid:
Barney's version of Jack and the Beanstalk:
Fe Fi Fo Fum I'm a giant and here I come ---
Should be: Fe Fi Fo Fum I smell the blood of an Englishman Be he alive or be he dead I'll grind his bones to make my bread ---
On 'Out of the Box' from Disney:
Hansel and Gretel lose their way in the forest to find a helpful old wizard that takes them back home.
It's the nature of the beast. Not the Microsoft beast but script writing.
I'll say that MS's Server 2003 is a decent product and I 'hope' that they really do have security as a concern but I don't buy it. The fact that they will offer a paid for virus subscription service proves it.
Script writers will utilize Monad for what it is supposed to do. Viruses will be written on top of it but may not be able to exist in the wild like all of the Linux and OSX Viruses. If all the Viruses that will exist for Monad are concept only, than I'll give MS a pat on the back and say 'good job'. I did say that Server 2003 is a decent product.
The other thing about Monad is that if Monad existed years ago, I proably wouldn't have jumped the MS ship. Professionally I won't mind trying it but personally MS gives me a bad taste.
We also see in 3 dimensions but when digital resolution gets to the point where megapixel => atom count, than the 2d viewing crowd will match that so-called reality.
I didn't say that middle click paste originated with Linux, I'm pretty sure it's an X thing. And I also didn't say that Apple is older than Unix. Apple is older than Linux.
OSX is consistent with Mac OS which is older than Linux and the concept of a middle click. For Apple to forgo the middle click as a paste makes sense since Apple users are already used to Command key functions.
If you're trying OSX because of Unix then you've already answered your problem with the middle paste. If you're using OSX because of Apple, then you'll like everything it has to offer.
You know, I'm not trying to be a troll here but simply honest.
I used to be a Microsoft fan and I used to believe that they are the #1 software company but they're not the #1 software company in terms of quality and they got where they are today by riding the back of IBM.
There are some pretty awesome software applications that run on a Microsoft OS but they're not penned by MS. I think Excel is the only MS app that was written by MS.
If they really wanted to be a good software company, where are the versions for other operating systems? I'm not saying 'Where are the MS Linux apps', but where are the MS apps for Apple, and the MS apps for Linux, and the MS apps for Palm OS, etc...
The office offering for Apple is pretty pathetic which is why I'm glad that Jobs is develping his own for Apple.
MS's current OS is piss poor and isn't worth $300. We all know the shortcomings that MS has and the fact that 3rd party products are needed for the average user to use it is just lame, lame, lame.
MS has fantastic resources at their disposal but I fail to see what R&D has produced at a cost of over $1 Billion for the current version of XP. Underlying systems are much better than Win95 but not $1 Billion better.
What the hell are they doing?
If MS wants to be #1, then produce some software for ALL computers.
I haven't lost any purchased CD's in the past 20 years.
CD-R's are another story. Don't by cheapies. About 6 years ago when cheap CD-R's were $1.00 a piece, I bought a hundred of them. Now the foil is flaking off.
I get much better respect and service from Office $var and local copy shops. Hell, even a dam overpriced grocery store gives better service.
What the hell was that copy card crap anyway? Do they still force you to use it?. I remember I needed 1 copy of a document and I had to purchase a $1 card for a $.05 copy with no refund. Luckily I could expense the card but still, sheesh. I hate Kinkos.
That's fine for some flicks but for made for large format screen like tentpole flicks such as Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Apollo 13, etc.. there's nothing like the theatre.
Also, some of the audience enthusiasm is worth going to the movies for which is what makes movies fun.
Watching R2D2 zap the crap out of the buzz droid is alot more fun in a crowded audience than in the comfort in my home which isn't theatre quality.
When I was in elementary school, I also used to watch the Adam West Batman series (and had a crush on Julie Newmar Catwoman and Joanna Cameron as Isis then) and our local Kroger had a Batman Utility Belt and assorted Star Trek Utility Belt devices. I opted for the Star Trek stuff.
You're talking about Movie shaker that produces a locked proprietary file that can't be shared with unlike OS's. Last I checked, Movie Shaker doesn't have DVD authoring.
They they get a Mac. It's a hell of alot easier to do video on a Mac than a Windows machine. And might I add that only on a Mac can you do video out of the box for under $600.
How can that be misconfigured? You use the Exchange connector, connect to the Exchange server. Person A send message to Person B and hast to wait up to 5 minutes for it to arrive in the Inbox. Hitting Send and Receive sometimes will make it available.
Another thing that is odd about Outlook 2003 is the fact that send and receive exist as a button which it doesn't in Outlook 2000 when using the Exchange client.

You create a website or web application.
How do you translate it into other languages?
-without using some crappy 'BabelFish' layer
-without having to write a complete localized version for each language.
But you don't have a volume control on a CD player, tape player, or record player either.
Now if you could program your tuner remote to the Squeezebox code, that would be something.
Mod funny.
What's also funny are those television shows that show clever commercials so people watch tv to watch commercials then when the real commercial break comes, they go to the bathroom.
I think it was a candidate because of the massive amount of conventions and vsitors that pass through there on a daily basis.
Terraform Mars!!

Hell, I paid $250 for that GeForce2 64MB Nvidia card when it came out. UT and Unreal never looked better.

There's lots of professional digital backs for medium and large format cameras that are replacing what you are stating.
I didn't say that middle click paste originated with Linux, I'm pretty sure it's an X thing.
And I also didn't say that Apple is older than Unix. Apple is older than Linux.
Monad will be the layer that a whole new batch of viruses will be written on top of.

Kinko's has sucked from 1990 to current.

Audience Enthusiasm. Sometimes it's infectious.
Wizard of Oz had a much bigger WOW factor when it came out compared to now.
In recent times, Star Wars had a much bigger WOW factor when it came out compared to now.
That's fine for some flicks but for made for large format screen like tentpole flicks such as Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Apollo 13, etc..
there's nothing like the theatre.

How soon till this gets some nasty exploit?
Anybody remember BeOS?
MS charged vendors something like full retail price for the OS if they offered any other OS.
When I was in elementary school, I also used to watch the Adam West Batman series (and had a crush on Julie Newmar Catwoman and Joanna Cameron as Isis then) and our local Kroger had a Batman Utility Belt and assorted Star Trek Utility Belt devices.

The fact that Spyware and Virus packages have to be included make it an inferior product.
