Check out Norman. Very unobtrusive, easy centralized environment that makes it simple to install, uninstall, etc. Automatic updates distributed from server to clients. Not very expensive, either.
When viewing simple galleries on my buddy's server, and I want to bring up a full-size photo at 1024x768 or larger, and we're talking about graphics 500k or more, that time really does matter.
It also really does matter for anyone who's paying for upstream bandwidth and transfer. This stuff costs money.
I'm seeing a future, a few years from now, where columnists looks back at what Sony did in 2006 and create laundry lists of "how to implement the largest-scale failure in the history of video games."
The brain itself weighed 615 g, only half the weight expected for a female of her age, height, and weight. Microscopic examination revealed extensive damage to nearly all brain regions, including the cerebral cortex, the thalami, the basal ganglia, the hippocampus, the cerebellum, and the midbrain. The neuropathologic changes in her brain were precisely of the type seen in patients who enter a PVS following cardiac arrest. Throughout the cerebral cortex, the large pyramidal neurons that comprise some 70 percent of cortical cells--critical to the functioning of the cortex--were completely lost.
The damage was, in the words of Thogmartin, "irreversible, and no amount of therapy or treatment would have regenerated the massive loss of neurons."
I'd argue the assumption that being a great thinker is the ideal. The great thinkers have very often been unhappy, depressed social outcasts.
I think you will find a much greater correlation with happiness and productivity when compared with taking an active role in one's life and surroundings versus shutting oneself up with books and writing.
Norman is pretty decent. It's good at being quiet and sitting in the background without bothering the user. The central managing service is also quite good. The main server distributes updates via the LAN so clients don't have to hit the net for updates. It's pretty easy to set up multiple configuration and scheduling groups. Even installing and uninstalling clients from the main server is easy as pie.
I suggest you take a look at it. I have no idea how much it costs, but it "just works" pretty well.
They clearly state that they intend to bring the video game system from "gamers" to "everyone else." "Everyone else" doesn't want an "X-Box" or a "Playstation" or a "Revolution" or a "Super Whiz-Bang Toy 2010." They want something simple, sophisticated, intuitive, and a little artsy. "Wii" fits the bill for that type of goal.
I don't think the name is going to appeal to the gamer sect at all, but then again the gamer sect doesn't really give a shit about the name - they care about how cool the games are.
Actually the gamers would probably buy any console if it said "Bad Ass Motherfucker" on it, but, barring that...
You sometimes can't tell what software will have bundled spyware or adware, (especially in such an obviously biased quiz) which is why you're going to need to purchase McAfee's anti-spyware software.
I think this guy *knows without a doubt* that his place is to make the public feel better by showing the administration "cares," not to actually take the bull by the horns and enact any sorts of changes.
A lot of technically inclined people, myself included, use an external hard drive for backup purposes. It would be really nice to cut the time needed to perform a full backup in half.
Just because it's easy and portable doesn't make it for the non-techs only.

Doom 2 came out in September of 94.
Quake came out in July of 96.
Star Fox, which was released in 93, was the first to actually render a 3D environment on a home console.
I can't think of any PC games that did it prior to Star Fox, though I know Virtua Racer was released in 92.
The IOC will never allow a "sport" where a 400-lb, 30-year-old, bald slob can win a gold medal.
Nice try though.
But....
What do you do when your 10-hour Li-ion battery runs out and you're nowhere close to a power source for the next 3 days?
Would you rather carry 10 of those 5-lb batteries, or one 5-lb fuel cell station and 10 ink jet cartridges?
What you mean to say is "where p and q are integers" ;)
"3.141529... is an element of the Rational Numbers"
Uh....... You sure about that?

You never look at pictures online, I guess?

It's not that bad. Really.

I love it.
McAfee claims that one of the lyrics sites has "delivered adware through ActiveX" via Firefox.
Ummmmm..... I think that's the point.

Hello, McFly...
What does Quebec have to do with Canada? :)
Wow, Cringely obviously has a clue.
"This will be accomplished not by using compatibility middleware like Wine, but rather by Apple implementing the Windows API directly in OS X 10.5."
Wine *is* an implementation of the Windows API.
Cringeworthy is more like it
My sig is a little volley all in itself ;)
They were #1 in desktop retail sales. They were #2 in overall sales with ~ 30% of the total market.

Talk about propaganda.
It's sure as heck nice to have both.

2GHz Core Duo, which is a bit slower than the one in the Dell.
The Dell Dimension 9150 is a desktop, genius.
The Apple comparison was an iMac.
Thank you, please play again.
