Well.. Blade-Runner-like cases or RoboCop-alikes, I think the world is trying too much to mimic the Science-Ficion books.
Why too much"? For example, computer software as we know it (take windows, linux, office, autocad, matlab, catia whatever example) doesn't match at all the vision of the all-problems-solver computers in science fiction books.
I have a strong feeling that androids are also not supposed to be like us, as opposed to what SF belived.
Maybe the HUGE difference between real-world implementation of these fantasies and books is that real world is governed by marketing and economics in general. You will never have a Blade Runner that's hunting droids from one company, nor a U.S.Robots that does all the robots from 21th century till the end of Foundation..
If it's real world, it's thought by at least two persons at a time, it already has two different versions, it's not humanly-resamblable..., it has WHEELS and SENSORS not eyes and feet...
What IE7 release will change is that all those people who are watching perplexed a Firefox user when changing between tabs, subscribing to feeds, and _removing_ extensions, well, all those people who sweared to "never use tabbed browsing" and "I hate Firefox because it loads in 2 seconds, as opposed to explorer, in zero",...
All those people will find Internet Explorer to be their Firefox.
That is, exactly what they claimed to hate or to not understand.
And *if* there's something that remains different from Firefox, in IE7, is that this version is _still_ not compliant to most of the things Firefox/Mozilla is.
There I wait, for the day everybody recognizes IE7 as Firefox clone and has their eyes opened on the _real_ differences.
Not to mention the broken sites... that sniff for MSIE 6.0 for 4? years already!!!
So, NO, IE7 release will change the world into a Firefox/Mozilla user, don't worry!;)
"Protect DVD-Video is the brainchild of a company called ProtectDisc"
I first read "brainchild" as "child's brain"
I still do.
You see, whenever somebody invents a such pathetic copy protection for specific software (read: UDF filesystem driver) you have to keep in mind that the only device that is 100% surely programmable to avoid the protection is.. TA-DA.. the COMPUTER!!! [Applause]
This is a 1-day job for any CD/DVD writer software author, to read the raw and use it in another way.
So, some person will lose 1 day in life walking around this `protection`, the other `hackers` will lose 1 googling minute for finding, downloading, installing and finally playing the DVD.
This is why the entropy principle is there to stay! These sort of thoughts/inventions will never _create_ information:))!
computer executed binary code is ALREADY sentient. Just think when it gets mad and crashes.
The same with proggies, OSes or InterNetworks, because each one are based on another.
If I find a metropolitan gateway falling because of a software error that the main developer is unable to spot, i think "erm... ok", but if there are 5000 Opterons to trace registers and code-machine into, I would say: BECAUSE HE WANTS or he DOESNT.
See?
Not only "deca" but in general everything that we do makes us die!
On the other side, this makes a good point not quitting on coffe. I wonder if ciggarettes w/o nicotine are also deadlyer than the usual ones:) "Smoke ciggarettes w/o nicotine and die!". oh, wait, nicotine doesn't kill..

You could use the instructions from here .txt files with the packages seem to be updated 18hrs ago, with the "XFCE 4.4 released! Woot" comment;)
The
Personal firewalls protect your from hackers and worms
And also protects others from you:)
Talk about life changing technology!
Yeah.. shopping for a microwave-oven:
-Does it have firewall embedded?
-Yes, with antispyware and phishing filters that call home, too!
Hmmm, sounds almost human like..
Sounds will be available when it will get equiped with an DNA Adlib soundcard, okay? Years will pass...

Or they could hire Truth Optimizers, a subset of SEOs, to tweak the other pages so that their becomes more "True" ;)
Mod parent up - best definition I can think of for a patent..
Thank God that a disc has only two sides.. oh wait..
double? I think an order of magnitude is a better assumption - i.e. add a zero
But I thought adding a zero would just double...
Mark Twain is the Prophet of God and the twains that He marks are Two.

I read Jules Verne, and it was clearly after 1932. He would be _this_ Verne, Jules?
http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/verne.htm : It says "1828-1905"
Clearly the man (JVerne) had the brains to fool somebody that the books are written in the FUTURE.

For example, 44500 - 8000 stardays = 36500 stardays.
That'd be 100 Earth years.
does the fractional part in 9999.9 (from GP) means the time of day? (.5 == noon?)
It's human nature...
I would have been that engineer if I were to speak loud all my thoughts...
But I keep them inside.
Two wrongs don't do a right: two XORs do!
That's BOFH for you. If you're a Webmaster (of a not-intranet site) that'd be BWFH.
?JA? for B?FH. hehe
I bet they are slowing it down to leave room for overclocking! :P
What's this? A self-described DUPE?
Since when free software software begins its releases with 1.0??!
I think that anything can be done in asm!
Heck, actually everything is done in asm!
At least he's not smoking cracks for their own software...
Err.. wait..
