I know this is slightly off topic, but free X-Chat for Windows builds are still available, as one guy is and has been making them. I'm no expert on this sort of topic, but because X-Chat's page declared that anybody could make their own Windows builds freely available, I can't see it as a violation of the GPL.
I use a mouse pad with my optical mouse on an old table that has slight sudden raise, as I'd have difficulty moving the mouse otherwise. On my good desk, I don't use a mouse pad. The sliding of the mouse on the mouse pad does feel better because it's not so rough sounding. But because mouse pads tend to get so filthy over time, I just don't worry with one where it's not needed.
Why is the review of Volume I presented here? That seems like really bad targeting, as I would guess that the vast majority of Slashdot (News for Nerds) readers interested in a book on PHP already know the basic syntax.
We all know that a Windows system's destiny from startup is to crash (or be restarted due to an impending crash). Adding a little extra spyware will surely get you there a bit faster.;)
Some interactive features designed exclusively for Internet Explorer won't appear, such as the pop-up menus on Slate's table of contents.
I get this statement as an attempt to slightly discredit Firefox. The article conveniently fails to emphasize that this lack of interoperability is the site designer's fault, and instead presents the Internet Explorer exclusive feature in an innocent manner. Bleh, what can you expect from Microsoft?
No matter how optimized it is, won't it will still use too much bandwidth for dial-up users who actually want to do something else with their connection? All of the streams I ever tried to listen to, including the 8kbps ones, gladly used all of my available bandwidth. I don't know about anybody else, but I'm not interested in only getting a fraction of my 2 KB/sec max for browsing, using chats, or other tasks.
When Microsoft source code gets leaked, it's big news. Then people dive into the source and find out how poorly written it is. With a lot of Microsoft source being open, nobody will care enough to talk about it anymore.
I will buy this kind of mixed system when Nintendo includes a cell phone in GBA.
I honestly doubt that Nintendo will ever do that. Nintendo tends to focus on features related to gaming, unlike other companies that put out "game" systems.
A new form of advertising involves using DHTML to make annoying "pop-ups" that are an absolute-position element of the page being viewed. I find these often don't function in Opera (my browser of choice), causing them to stick in the upper left corner of the page, rendering it unreadable.
Solution? Disable JavaScript, at least most of the time. Any good web designer will be able to make most common pages entirely usable without JavaScript.
Actually, it is indeed 1024 MB. I heard about somebody who filled up their Gmail account (sorry, I have no link) and got the message at the bottom to say, "You have used 101% of your 1000 MB." They probably just call it 1000 MB so as to not confuse those who do not know that 1 GB is 1024 MB, which is totally lame.
Google's Gmail does this. The whole thing is run with incredibly fancy JavaScript/DHTML, which is why only a few browsers are currently supported (they're working on a plain HTML version, thankfully). The messages in "conversations" may be expanded and collapsed as desired. Perhaps you should buy an invite from somebody on eBay so that you can check it out yourself.

Who needs to see real fireworks? Just use xfireworks. They're even more environmentally friendly!

Just don't be naughty, lest you receive a beowulf cluster of lumps of coal.
Ah, finally, a story where all those 'imagine a Beowulf cluster of...' comments actually would be ON TOPIC!
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of those...

Pardon me if I've missed something.

And, just asking, of which magical source did you get this from hrm?
I'm not sure if it was there yesterday, but the news was on Wikipedia's main page. I noticed a few hours ago.
I thought Nintendo was going the same route as Sega which was not to release any more consols?
A while back, Nintendo's Satoru Iwata declared, "When we withdraw from the home game console, that's when we withdraw from the video game business."
Don't forget the game cartridge slot!
Step two: FDISK!
Also, people bitten by spiders don't generally become ultra-powerful.
WHAT?! They don't?! Why didn't you tell me this sooner?!
Goodbye, world.

ah, so that's why the anti-MS tirade on /.
Yes, we're all jealous here.

I don't care, I take the train!
Ill probly pick one up when they hit 100 bucks or so
I'm hoping that is if some worthwhile games come out for it, which seems unlikely.

But then how would you be able to email snapshots from the webcam to your friends?!
