10%? What kind of roads do you drive on that have stop signs and 60 mph speed limits?
a 2-lane highway (highway #1 transcanada) junction at the edge of town. highway speed limit is 110kph (~68mph) and the intersecting road (speed limit 50kph (~30mph)) is controlled with a stop sign.
such a setup is not uncommon in smaller towns and cities around here (Saskatchewan).
none of that "please press 1-3-2-6... please wait... we're receiving an unusual volume of call... waiting time is 17 minutes... your call is important to us" bullshit.
i used to work at one of Sasktel's call centres.
we did have a fairly minimal phone menu (basically, "is the problem phone, internet, IPTV, or VOIP?" and "are you a business customer?") and the wait time is usually pretty good (less than 5 min, if not 0), aside from the occasional "shit hit the fan" moments, like a massive storm frying half the modems in 3 cities, where I've seen the wait time get up to an hour, but it's a pretty rare occurance.
similar here with Sasktel. they keep the loop length at less than 900m. once they finish rolling out VSDL2 in the major centres, they'll like to go shortening that to improve bandwidth.
you can only make a car so light before that lightness becomes a problem. try driving a modern smallish car on a highway in a good crosswind. you're gonna be fighting to keep going straight. now imagine trying to do that in a car the same size that weighs half as much.
I'm all for fuel efficient, but "make it lighter" has pretty close limits.
you seem to have missed the fact that what the warrenty says doesn't matter for squat if it contradicts the law. they could put that the warrenty is void if you take up tapdancing, but that doesn't mean it will actually hold up in court.
though i have no idea what this will be like, as while the law says you can unlock the phone and there are laws regarding warrenties, i am not sure what the courts will say on this if/when this goes there.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the cause of so much mayhem and misery in this world has been mostly religion/cult on religion/cult.
yes, but some (NOT ALL!) atheists seem to be making a religion out of not believing in religion and push their beliefs at least as vigorously as your average fundamentalist.
1. there is a way to do that in XP (and i believe the same way works in vista), but you gotta do some registry editing, but that should really be in the GUI.
2. having used both to an extent, i like the vista rolodex effect over expose, though that's just an opinion.
3. not exactly sure what you mean by that.
4. i personally LOVE spotlight and i wish every OS would emulate that functionality.
5. i personally don't see the need, but whatever. if i like it the way it is, i'll leave it at default.
6. i don't find they take up that much. less than half an inch vertically.
7. yes please!
8. yes please!
9. yes yes, for the love of god, YES!
10. certainly
11. yes please!
12. never had problems with this yet, but flexability is always nice to have.
12.5. i WISH they hadn't axed winFS. it showed promise.
13. oh yes. ideally, i'd like to be able to work with a networkless roving profile on my thumbdrive. plug it it, say "load the profile stored here" and BAM! all my settings and stuff, at any computer.
14. yes, they would.
15. definetly would be nice.
16. another thing i'd like is for dual-screens to work properly with games. i want to be able to have the game take up 1 of the screens and leave my other screen available for other things (stratagy guide, IM program, actual work, etc.)
Apple is not bound to provide warranty coverage on an altered product any more than one would expect a car manufacturer to warranty a car engine if it were altered under its warranty period.
1. they are not required to support it, but they are not legally allowed to deliberately destroy the phone (through the deliberately part would be tricky to prove).
2. sure, but if you install an aftermarket sound system, but didn't touch the engine, the engine warranty wouldn't be legally voidable.
bullshit. if you install an aftermarket turbo on the car, the warranty on the engine is almost definitely void (which is fine), but if the stock sound system stops working later, the warranty on that is still good, as it had nothing at all to do with the modification.
anyone who is telling differently is full of shit (most dealerships are like this).
of course, you'll likely have to go through the 8 circles of court to get them to follow the law.

VMware Workstation has experimental support for D3D.
i believe Xen will work also, but i don't know to what extent.
I don't recall seeing this story anywhere *but* Slashdot.
it was on CTV national 11 o'clock news either last night or the night before.

define "normal keyboard". QWERTY is normal here, what about the rest of the world?
then the worst that can happen is that cars start slowing down on the road.
resulting in a 10+ car pileup.

In all honesty, if my boss saw the word Gimp on screen in our open plan office, he would go ape-shit.
then why not spell it out in full?
It's AT&T's network.
bullshit. much of that network was built with government subsidies.

so it would be cheap, versatile, solid, and non-flashy?
and in the event that vista chose not to support it, how many media companies would be willing to shut out that much of the market?
so? we just need it until we get a better idea to work (fusion, microwave solar, antimatter, zero-point energy, magic, etc.)
why the fuck is this modded troll? some of us appreciate lossless audio files.
yes, but it just takes time for those contracts to end and new artists to recognize that signing might not be a good idea.
then what's to prevent artists from doing the same? Why should artists remain with them in this scenario?
usually contracts that state the artists have to pay them $BIGNUM if they decide to cancel the contract before it is fulfilled.
