I'm not a fan of having "extra" features on my desktop all the time. I like keeping it simple and clean. But with all these features, I have to ask, does it use alot of CPU and/or memory?
I haven't tried the first one either, so I'm just wondering if anyone out there could shed a little light on this. (Kind of at work right now so I can't test it out) And also I would just like to see what other people think about it.
I don't think it's just the distance factor that we have to worry about. I'm thinking power consumption. Over here in Ontario, we've had massive blackouts with our power plants with the summers getting hotter and more humid. So if BPL does affect power consumption, than I think it's not worth it here unless you get a shitload of more power plants. I mean they tell us to cut on the AC and now it's going to tell me to cut on my pr0n downloads?
an infinite number of honeymonkeys at an infinite number of typewriters...
Actually they didn't make their riches by buying an infinite ammount of monkey. They just hired some to be CEO's. And if my calculations are correct, they only have a couple of thousand, at most, coding. Which I believe explains more.
I say kudos to Google for standing up to asshole reporting.
Amen to that. Of course it's readily available, but then it all comes down to the well if it's there should it mean I should do it anyways?
Wtf ever happened to judgement? Are you too stupid to realise what you are doing? Unfortunately, the justice systems thinks so...That's why alot of people get away with what they do. Just act stupid. Unfortunately it's rubbing off as your national reputation as well.
It rendered them pretty good. So I would say correctly because the only thing I had to change was the width (It's in pixels rather than %. And for the job I needed % to accomodate people on 800x600 and 1024x768 resolutions), also needed to change the border width, color, cellspacing and cellpadding. It basically put the table on default look, which is better than a ton of code trying to make it "look" correct. No style code either. I was pretty impressed. And as well, the frontpage working page was alot closer to it's preview page than Dreamweaver's working page to preview page.
Copy and paste from Word to WordPad, then to Dreamweaver.
Actually, I've had huge huge documents to convert from word to HTML and I had some graphics in there as well. What I used to do is copy-paste to FrontPage, it would render the tables much better. And occasionally it would even render the pictures good as well. And on top of that, it isn't clustered with a bunch of dirty html code.
Anyways, that's what I use, I'm sure you could just write a script after copy pasting that would get rid of some small constant details.
Hey I'm not advocating anything here, I was just saying I guess big companies choose to go with paying products because if you need a patch (where the tech support comes in) they can code it for you, since with Linux and what not, *I don't believe* that their tech support offers patching. Of course I wouldn't know for sure. I think I was looking more for a word like "garantee".
Linux can't really garantee anything because it relies on the community (which can be (or is) reliable) while at Microsoft, it HAS to be reliable. Think of it as someone going "Hey this thing crashed/isn't working/needs a patch!" and then if it was Microsoft "Well you DID pay for the software, so we will offer you support blah blah" They don't have a choice it's not like they can hire someone to patch it for them, it's closed source as to Linux it would be "Well you did get it for free so patching the system is not our problem." But I do agree that they could help with the crash or the isn't working part.
So think of it this way when people start blaming Al-Qaeda, imagine like we have here, everything that has the word foundation in it, and then the araibics think that everything with the word foundation in it is from the same group. Same with Al-Qaeda, it's a common word that is used in terrorists groups. Like others have said, they just put them all in the same group which makes it easier.
Ok, #1 it is NOT theft.
#2 Test driving a car is not a good example because of you can get caught. Which is probably the most thriving factor behind music piracy. The anonymity (yes I know you can still get caught and blah blah but downloading a song a day on average won't put you on the RIAA radar).
Also the material factor, if you really want to split a hair in two, think big chunk of metal versus 1's and 0's. Kind of have less to show. Oh yeah and let's not forget the 20k (being generous here) price tag versus 1$ .
I don't think you gave a good analogy because the car and the pipes HAVE to work physically/mechanically compared to computers where things have to work LOGICALLY.
I think your car example with the brakes and the engine and all that would be like the computer hardware and the bits (1' and 0's) where the different makes (Toyota, Ford, whatever) would be like Windows, Linux and so on.
Basically I agree that a reorganisation of logic is in order. Same with cars, they give us cheap crap that we have to return to the garage every other day so they can syphon money out of us. I can go on with the analogies.
Um, not to burst your bubble or anything, but it's been out for a while. Check this one out. In my opinion, it's one of the best ones out there. I have it and it works perfectly. Just make sure to get the firmware upgrade.
I just find it very whorish of them to create not only a monopoly in their software but now in their hardware as well. They probably have some crazy business deal some monitor-making company right now.
Or they are thinking of starting their own hardware company, which of course will make "compatible" monitors. Thanks!
Probably not. But it sort of means I'm stuck with XP for the rest of the DRM life/era. Because of course you got all the geeks that are already with linux and such. But then you got the other people who can get away with having XP and do care about the DRM, but not willing to switch to linux. Therefore I just think these people are going to be staying with XP for a lot longer than they thought. (Like me)
Honestly, screw longhorn if it's going to do that.

Imagine taking your entire music collection with you in your car?
60GB iPod + iTrip? Yes yes I have them, and it's great to listen to what you want in your car.
Yeah stop signing up at porn sites with your gmail address.

I said it *has* didn't say it *was* or *is*.

I could be talking out of my ass though...
i think the term youre looking for is "scapegoatabilty"
Yes that would perfectly describe what I was looking for. It basically gives someone to bitch to.
I guess it's a matter of liability and who you can blame if something goes wrong. As well as Tech support.
Exactly, so people, to save us from the next Ice Age, we should all buy SUV's!
Actually Al-Qaeda means "the foundation" or "the base".
So think of it this way when people start blaming Al-Qaeda, imagine like we have here, everything that has the word foundation in it, and then the araibics think that everything with the word foundation in it is from the same group. Same with Al-Qaeda, it's a common word that is used in terrorists groups. Like others have said, they just put them all in the same group which makes it easier.
And then have your job outsourced to India where they don't give a shit?
"The ones that can't learn the difference usually have behavior problems anyway and must be cared for differently to begin with."
That was nicely put.

I would have been given a fine and a tap on the back. I'm Canadian.

Yeha the firmware upgrade from the philips website. There are alot of forums out there that can help you with this. Just google it.

Wouldn't it just be easier to slashdot a site owned by a spammer company?
And legal?

Man I really thought YOU were joking, but you aren't that idiot actually posted a spoiler. Dumbass. MOD GP TROLL!
