Of course it will. I wasn't arguing that. I was simply pointing out the falacy that you can run MS Excel in 20MB RAM.
Yes, Google Docs uses 100MB in Firefox. It also runs on all major browsers for all major operating systems. Where can you run Excel? Complaining about RAM usage for cross-platform software compared to native applications is pointless.
I can run MS excel with 20 megs of ram. Google spreedsheet in firefox takes over 100 megs of ram.
And how much RAM does your OS take up? You know, the OS that looks after all of the GUI controls (buttons, windows, scrollbars etc) that Excel uses? And by saying that, I'm probably not even scraping the surface of the number of resources built into Windows that Excel uses and relies on.
That's actually the original meaning of the word awful. It literally meant "full of awe". Somehow the word awesome has taken on a positive sense over the years, and awful has gained its negative connotation. Fun with words!
We've been doing it in Sydney since 2001. And we're using the same amount of water as we did in the 70s despite the fact that our population has double since then. Of course, the fact that 60% of our state is drought affected gives us a bit of an incentive, but there's no reason the same policies couldn't be implemented elsewhere.
I'm a programmer, a graphic designer and I produce music. The book is genius, and highly entertaining. However, I've read it around 4 times now. Definitely a tough read the first time, but with each subsequent read you get more and more out of it.
Windows Vista is really not as bad as people think. The key thing to keep in mind is to make sure your system has enough resources to run it, because it is demanding.
We both paid for the same game. We both got the same game. I have the option of paying for additional content, you don't. We still paid for and got the exact same game though.
I can't play LittleBigPlanet on my 360, yet you don't see me crying... get over it.
No one uses CRTs anymore. I've worked in several design/advertising agencies and visited many more. Web/print/TV. We're all using LCDs hooked up to DVI ports.
Flex Builder from Adobe is based on Eclipse! You can install it as a plugin into an existing Eclipse install, or install the stand-alone version. The open-source Flex SDK and compiler are both free if you don't want to shell out for Flex Builder.
There's FDT, another Eclipse Plugin for Flash/Flex development.
There are also completely open-source options for developing Flash/Flex content, in Eclipse, or the IDE of your choice. Windows, Mac or Linux.
I haven't touched the Flash IDE for the last four years.

If you have an allergy to your wifi, you shouldn't have married her.
Preferably in carbonite!
He made the Windows 95 startup sound, not tada.wav from Win3.1.
There is an approved SID player for the iPhone. It downloads and plays any tune from the High Voltage SID Collection.

Living with rape is worse than death? So if I follow your logic, that means we should kill all rape victims, correct?
You might want to rethink that one, perhaps with less assumption about what happens after death.

Correct. Whisky ages in the barrel and does not continue to age once bottled.
These people are collecting, not drinking.
"Whiskey" is American, Irish or Japanese.
No, the Japanese spelling is also "Whisky". Canadian too.
In Britain and Canada it is spelled whisky.
Japan also. Britain? You mean Scotland. It is spelled "whiskey" in Ireland.

Then it is as bad as I think.
And if "Dude, Where's My Car?" is any indication, Hollywood is screwed.
ActionScript 3 is much closer to Java than JavaScript these days. Class-based (not prototype-based) OOP, strict typing, etc.

Hmm.. :)
PONed!

For example, a small laser pointer keychain I bought him a couple of years ago still provides tons of entertainment.
Buy him a mirror. Then he'll be endlessly entertained just by trying to feel his way around.
When will young people learn that trying to be cool is a futile and ultimately pointless endeavour?

DRM is the only way to stop the pirates in the first few weeks.
Then the developers should remove the DRM after the first few weeks once it has been cracked?
Or maybe they should just not bother with DRM in the first place because it only affects and impedes legitimate customers.
What a ridiculous argument.
