I saw a documentary about oil and energy efficiency a while ago that stated that solar power would required 1/3 of the world's land in solar panels in order to meet the world's energy needs. Hmm...
A quick epistomological sidenote: what's the opposite of time-continuous media?! All media records an instance of time, whether it's 1 ms or 10 seconds.
type 'c#' in google, and try the same in msn. Perhaps it's the special character, but google returns the C# homepage, and msn just picks up on websites that have the keyword spammed. Seems to say a lot about its method of retrieval, and why it'll probably always be 2nd to google.
'And Europe too fined you for being anti-competitive. Did you ever pause for a moment and think: 'are we being anti-competitive?'
We wouldn't have got the lame response waffling about the PC industry, we would've could a half-honest response. Instead they chose Stephen Cole, a bumbling idiot with a lisp.
yep ebay and amazon and few others are now guilty of looking for keywords that are completely irrelevant to what you're searching for, but just want you to get onto their site.
This probably works for some people, but usually the link you click leads to something irrelevant, so really ebay et al are wasting their money doing this tactic.
In my last company I saw a EULA that had been directly copied from a standard Microsoft Office EULA. All they'd done was to replace all 'Microsoft' in Wordpad. They forgot, however, to remove the 'Office' and Washington address, making the EULA completely useless. It looked good on the setup.exe though
There's a similar bicardi breezer mixer also done in Flash, I personally think it's good as a toy (Flash, that is), not as anything you can seriously use. It's powered by ECMA script, after all.
Not to be confused with Famous 5 (http://www.techbooks.co.uk/amazon/fam-five.htm/) those fun-loving young rascals who crave danger and find themselves solving various mysteries along the way.
As amazing as Firefox is, the stats remain of IE vs Firefox - 400m IE users (windows users worldwide) vs 13mb Firefox users.
With that in mind, and assuming you aiming to increase the uptake of users (instead of esoteric improvements aimed at techies), making it completely numpty-friendly would be my top priority, which means nice big wizards, completey intuitive options, and scrap that crappy feedback wizard.
Supposing exeem isn't the evil it's being described as here, and does the job of suprnova.org. Doesn't this still mean that somewhere, a load of.torrents files have to be hosted somewhere (web server,irc,ftp),and all of which rely on a tracker. Or has exeem got a mysterious way of broadcasting these torrent files around its network? If that's true, I'm still lost as to how you know who is on the network...you still need a centralised point, surely?
Which means the exeem server or the trackers still get stung by the authorities, if this is infact the point of the program - to avoid detection. I can't see a way of it ever being anonymous. Without meaning to point out the obvious, the authorities can always track your IP address on any p2p software, so why bother hiding it. And even if you build in the anonymous IP feature into the protocol or client, there is always 'netstat' to view the connections.

Ok I'm being a pedantic asshole I admit it
Used by Hauppage for all you media mvp users. The Wind River side of things is reliable, the windows service side of things is not so good.
Well seeing as you're not really modded up, this reply isn't going to help my karma.
The chinese are investing millions into electric and hydrogen based car research, so I doubt the first one will be right.
I dont see any click through banners on the site - I'm missing something here, but how does he make money?!
Hopefully the UN won't send 'hans brix' to sort it out

the same applies to these slashdot comments please
if only the BBC presenter http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/biographies/biogs /news/jeremypaxman.shtml Jeremy Paxman had asked the question:

a british joke for children of the 70s/80s, so it had very limited appeal

Plus it's styled like a biscuit tin, which all mums like.
