XP users can stick with needing a low-range current PC dedicated to the OS and all the flashy whiz-bang animations the OS offers. They can stick to still having security problems, whilst having to sacrifice backwards compatibility.
Me? I'm gonna stick with 2K Pro, freeing up resources for using actual applications, having a hugely more secure system, with a smaller footprint, and being able to run 100% of the Win32 apps I've come across, new and old.
That cool with you, Microsoft?
Give people a reason to upgrade their OS in future.
Okay, firstly, an admission: I actually liked DS9, and Voyager. I'm truly very sorry.
But I think that TNG picked up after Berman took over it. It's just that he's past his prime, and everything that Enterprise goes against is everything I feel about Star Trek.
I think that ditching the changes Enterprise has made and effectively reverting *back* to the state of play at the end of Voyager would be a very good idea. I think Enterprise just lost credibility from me when it started buggering about with the series that I'd pretty much grown up with (that is, the films and TNG onwards, I was born in '84) and went in the face of and effectively erased everything that those series' achieved.
I started avoiding watching Enterprise, basically because I felt that if I watched it, I leant it validity, and if none of the events in the other series and films happened, how could I really care about them?
I think letting the B5 guy have a go at Trek would be an incredibly good idea. I never watched much B5, but when I did, I really enjoyed it, more than the average Trek episode. I think Trek needs to energy, because at it is, Enterprise is just a rotting corpse of a show.
Whilst I'm impressed that a dog can manage it, I'm surprised that few people do these sorts of experiments on cats.
In my experience, cats don't just understand words, they can empathise with humans, have a broader range of emotions, and can devise strategies.
But then, in a test, I imagine that a cat would be too lazy and would act dumb to get out of the task:D
BT in general are trying to clone AOL, for some god-forsaken reason, what with their "own" browser (ie. IE activeX component), merging OpenWorld with Yahoo! (ugh!!!) etc. etc.
It seems that the general feeling of the thread is both "Only AOLers need such a key" but also at the same time "Professionals need it for correct typing etc."
So keep the key, but use it for something else, as other people have suggested.
I could quite easily do away with insert and scroll lock as well as caps.
I generally find my most used keys are Ctrl, Alt, Shift and Tab, since I use my mouse minimally even though I use gui apps.
Within two days of AdTI's release of Samizdat, OSDL(1) member Linus Torvalds affirmed AdTI's concerns, announcing that Linux kernel contributions depend largely on 'trust'. In an attempt to fix the system, Linus Torvalds announced an ambiguous policy(2) to promote better 'trust'.
Who do you trust more? A software developer that lays its source code out for all to see, or a software developer who keeps it closely under wraps?
The AdTI is claiming to analyse the validity of this "trust" right now, and is failing miserably. Isn't that proof enough that the system works?
'look and feel as good as the iPod'
Great. It'll look like it, will it have the capacity.
I could care less how something looks, if it doesn't store more than a few hours worth it's not going to be any good for taking on a long journey. If I cared how something else, I probably wouldn't have bought my Archos, whilst the pen-drive-esque units are too low capacity, and the iPods are too expensive for their pure pretiness.
Also, portable HDDs are still pricy, I smell another XBox for MS here.
I think the monopoly argument is more centred around Apple having a fairly big monopoly when it comes to PPC-based machines.
Of course, as your analogies show, you can accuse anyone of a monopoly if you get really specific.
It should be noted that this actually goes against the OSX EULA, which specifically states that the software cannot be used on anything other than Apple branded hardware, unfortunately:(
Slashdot Mirror
What, are they tired of actually having to give up some of their precious precious profit to their employees?
I'll stick with Bluetooth, or perhaps just good old-fashioned wires.
Does for my headphones.
Up up up!

Hey, don't even use Norton for that! AVG man! Never did me wrong! Tag on a cheap NAT appliance, all set! More exclamation marks!

No, but some people who *do* make the law say that if you want to use Apple products, you have to do what they tell you.

Never. We say wanker. We sometimes bloody.
I have never, in my entire life living in pretty much the dead centre of the British Isles, heard anyone say "Bloody wanker".
