batteries are good enough... what you need is a laptop that drains less energy...
I've read that the Fujitsu LifeBook P Series packs 11 hours of runtime, now that is long. Maybe that coupled with some kind of power generating gadget could be the solution. Battery low? tap on some foot-ware and recharge.
Mailing Lists are THE best MMORPG. Pros:
* They are free...
* You get to choose from a multitude of roles: "programmer", "translator", "artist", "docwriter"
* as in all MMORPGs you get to make new friends.
* you get to use really big tools like Google and SF.net
* sometimes you might even get a real job out of this game where someone pays you to play all day. Cons:
* graphical quality varies with the level/character...
* some level/character combinations might be a little bit boring

I don't quite understand all the hype about Google Suggests. The technique for doing it exists since at least 2 years on Mozilla (and even longer on IE).
well.. it is the power behind it that's coursing all the hype. Google IS power because it has a very wide audience. Think about it like this: What would happen if Google would start producing a custom Open Source OS? A LOT of companies have their own Linux or BSD versions and some did succeeded in receiving some public exposure BUT if Google would post a short link on their home saying "Help us finish Google Linux" you can bet that it would make world news and it won't be because some company started yet another linux distribution but because Google did it.
It could be a rocket impacting a dude with invisibility or maybe a weird kind of BFG-10K (the original has red trails you know)
High end machine too. (judging from the rendering details)
I guess they aren't doing eXtreme Programming. I've worked overtime and most of the time the only "bonus" was more crappy code. A rested mind can produce A LOT more then a caffeine drawn one.
I work at a plastic surgery clinic in Romania and we have been approached by a local company that wanted to implement such a thing. People would come from abroad get a tour of some beautiful places and as a bonus a plastic surgery procedure. All procedures done here at the clinic are with recovery in 24 hours so their schedule wouldn't be disturbed. Their budget wouldn't be disturbed either as, from what I understand, the prices we have here are way bellow ones found in USA or in EU.
MS takes WinXP Professional SP2, uses XPLite 1.3 to do a PowerStrip then they sell the result at the price of Starter Edition.
Brrrriiiing... the alarm clock rings... well... back to reality.
The site is holding up better that the NASA site of World Viewer.
This might be a good thing... "Look at how many people are interested in my CGI" or... a bad thing.... "Note from your host: this month bill is: $obscene_amount_of_money"
Maybe it would be better if that smart program replaced the links with links from: archive.org
or maybe google cache.
Then ofcourse it has to be smart enough to know it did that and replace the links back with the originals if they come online.
Sometimes "broken links" can recover.
Firefox, the browser that's smaller yet smarter than just about anything else available.
Firefox Setup 1.0PR.exe - 4,742,005 bytes
Opera 7.54 - ow32enen754.exe - 3,666,195 bytes
People should stop comparing Firefox to IE, that's really unfair, its like comparing a power-plant based on nuclear fuel with one based on coal. It is a difference in age.
However when we compare Firefox with Opera we can clearly see that Opera is a smaller download, it includes a very smart (the smartest I've used) email client, a news reader and an IRC client.
The day when Firefox/Mozilla will have a email client as smart as Opera's M2 and it will be every bit as accessible as it is now M2 is the day I will consider switching. Till that day I'll still be an Opera fan with all the other browser installed as an alternative.
Coralisation after slashdoting is useless.
Google cache is shot on images.
Well I guess people could try the internet archive... at least they have a chance to see something (not too much tho):)
well... It might not be all that obvious but the solution for Linux gaming community is not Transgaming or WineX but rather the likes of OpenOffice, Gnome, Kde or Knoppix...
Linux gaming community needs brute numbers of Linux installs because that will convince the game houses to create native Linux clients, after all most of the effort in a game development goes in making the story and the artifacts to support it (sprites, mashes, sounds, movies, etc.) The game engine is most of the time borrowed form the big boys like ID and, as mentioned, they are already cross-platform.
When Marketing sees a market they will stimulate Development. Hiring one or 2 more developers to take care of the bits necessary for the cross-platform thing is negligible if they can bring 5% more income from Linux community but first they need to see that 5 more percents, they need to see a solid Linux install base, they need to see Numbers, big numbers. So... what makes more Linux installs? Better Office integration, nicer more usable interfaces. If Linux gets that, it will get native games very very soon.
Well... I guess that talking about a country where Wi-Fi is a commodity and where such an arest would have been imposible IS Offtopic... What was the topic again?
Linux users get by just fine with the current keyboards.
They should have invested those research resources in comming up with a "xkill" equivalent key for the windows versions. I sure feel the need for one.
I've take over 200 exams during my 6 years college. Even the best of the best students couldn't help from cheating at some of the exams. Reasons ranged from indigestible texts to "I need a higher grade to get the scholarship". Anyway, cheating is nothing compared to seeing the "teacher's pet" getting a perfect A on a D+ paper.

How about SQLite? .jar file"

Could Microsoft be considering an Open Source license for Sender ID?
I don't know about that but maybe they will release Clippy under an Open Source licence, just to show they care about the movement.well...
