I end up saying 'the one that lives with the question mark.' And then I find out I'm supporting a foreign keyboard. Not quite as bad as the laptop with German keyboard, Spanish Windows and English mail client I had to support. It messed with my head.
Well, they added directories in MS-DOS 2 and had already used forward slashes for switches in MS-DOS 1, so what could they do? Can someone older than me confirm that they 'researched' the slash for switches from CPM?
Yeah, it was unambiguous last week when I typed ned:8080 and an nntp client started up. I then had to tell the oh so helpful browser that I wanted http://ned8080./ ned, news: close enough. Granted it was IE, so there are worse things it could have done.
Solar and wind-ups are the biggies for areas without power. The wind-ups are handy because you don't have to charge them in advance.
Solar lights seem to be big around here, basically being sold as garden/path lights that don't need any wiring. I picked up a ten pack on the weekend and put them on the trip hazards in the back yard. I have my doubts about the bug zapper, but I'll test it this weekend.
OK, it's Goliath v. Godzilla. What's the relevance? Hell, they've got Rupert involved by targeting Foxtel. We're just having fun watching the big kids slap each other around for no good reason.
Woolies sells iTunes credit. They also own Dick Smith and Tandy, who sell iPods and Macs. I still don't see a huge source of confusion, but then again, lawyers are involved.
New pornography channel? Adults Only was an option when I ordered Foxtel ten years ago. And no, I wasn't going to fork out $15 a month for porn. They probably meant new branding for an old channel, not branding for a new channel.
That would be the American tax man. In parts of Australia, the 'Church of Scientology' has disappeared. We now have the 'Hubbard Dianetics Foundation' or some such. Same building, same scam, different name. With such a bad rep, I hope some of it rubs off on the current censorship proposals. Thank you, Ronbots.
I wonder if any of these ELF people understand physics...
I'd say there's an extremely low frequency of understanding in the ELF people. I wonder why they're hitting AM and not the systems used to talk to subs. What was that called again?
Except that this case isn't from a patent troll. These guys did the development, sell a product and tried to sell it to MS, who turned around and built their own. This is the kind of case the patent system should be handling.
Actually, if I4I had been smart, they'd have sold out to a patent troll, took the money and run.
It sounds like a good time to get a decision on 'sell' versus 'license.' Microsoft doesn't actually sell Word, just a license to use it. I'm sure the judge would be happy to have that discussion.
So, given that a cellphone is, for most intention and purpose, fundamentally a fucking COMPUTER, are they going to make people get a license so they can operate it "safely"?
Given what I've seen people do with mobile phones, both in and out of cars, HELL YES!
Well, there are people who fire up the mission editor and use Flashpoint as a racing game. Dirtbikes can be a lot of fun, but you have to keep the guns out of the race. Then again, we had one race with armed spectators that joined in.:)
I'm actually the same. I could care less, but I think these stores might be a focus for dickish behavior from some of the 'community.' Think about the people who go into a McDonalds and try to order a Whopper, and then think it's the funniest thing ever.

Office 10, that's so 2002. I think you mean Office 13.

How about Digital Rights Management? DRM is good, no DRM is bad, no the other DRM.
If we can link this pack of religious nuts with the other lot that are already pushing for filters, we can probably kill it for good.

Musical Schedulers? Let me guess, when the music starts to skip, a random process gets killed.

Even better, if you're big enough, Dell will factory install your custom image. But of course, that would take a lot of 'testing' on their part.

IIS and .NET? Why don't you just install LPD? Heck, XP and Vista come with a mostly compatible implementation of Samba. Try that.
Easy, you congratulate them on nailing the part and ask how long they've been playing D&D. "Oh, this guy would make a great cleric!"

Doesn't HD need a really large screen. Just saying...
Be careful, hot secretaries may have swine flu.
No, Melissa, he's upgraded to a whole new architecture. Wait till you see the UAC on this one.
The recycle bin will need to be expanded.
