His problem is with Linux fundies, then. But we can't compare the Mandriva color schemes with Bittorrent, PHP, or Apache. And yes, Linux has been famous for its poor hardware support.
I used to use trillian, but it doesn't support the MSN's custom smileys feature. So now I have to use MSN messenger just to display (and send) the smileys.
I think there's a little improvement... i compared your screenshot to mine (1.07) and yours doesn't leave a blank space. But then again, it might be the image sampling. Guess I'll find out when I d/l 1.5 tonight.
I suppose that's because a buffer overflow makes IE6 execute code directly. The scanner (in my case, VShield) noticed there's an exploit in the webpage, but there's nothing else it could do. It's like some security guards saying "hey, a thief opened this door!" and they close the door, but don't catch the thief.
How can it distinguish the different chords? TFA only mentions two orange blobs (the two hands), but they don't say anything about how to recognize when the different strings are pressed.
Dinosaurs take a long time to turn (remember IBM?)
As I said before, Microsoft is currently in Stage 3: Bargaining. The bargain is their proprietary XML format. "OK ok don't leave me out of the business... I'll open my XML format!".
I really don't think they're doing a good thing. Their XML format is an awful mess, why couldn't they just adopt ODF? Well, let's hope for the best.
Being a programmer, I like participating in my favorite products' forums. Like, I report a bug, and a couple of days later, it's "fixed in CVS". I only have to recompile, and voila.
Anyway, one thing that is very needed, is the frequent release of products (release early, release often), which is why I love looking at the latest beta's of a product.
However, what I wouldn't like, is having to widthstand an awful beta full of bugs, specially if i can't contact the programmer. And it's even more frustrating if said "beta" is actually a finished product, like this one or this one.
Haven't you guys been frustrated by the stupid MSN window re-scrolling whenever your buddy types something and you haven't finished reading what you missed? It's a nightmare!
This is why I like beta. At least I expect bugs to be present, and I'm ASSURED that, since it's beta, those bugs will be fixed soon.
And beta is also where the newest features are implemented, and I can say "wow! you rock!" I think Beta is the best part of a software development.
So, it depends. Beta, for open source products, is a dream come true. For closed source products, it's a nightmare.
THANK YOU!:) A little off-topic, but the parable of the broken window will now be on my list of arguments against the RIAA. A friend of mine said the RIAA has many employees, and that piracy was destroying them, etc. etc. However, he did not see the hidden costs of overpriced songs and recording company monopolies.
Maybe, this parable can apply to ALL monopolies? As in users are forced to purchase products from one manufacturer / music company etc., in the same way the store owner was forced to spend his money on the broken window?

Why do you keep typing "economical" when the correct word is "economic"?
:)
Because english is not my native language? Thanks for the info, tho
"Economic, economic, economic..."
What the article doesn't tell, is that sometimes, the virus redirects to goatse.
GAHHHH!!!!
Heheh. Just kidding.

Because obviously, following a treaty designed to economically punish the United States for a few years would have solved all of this.
Regardless of the economical consequences, wasn't the Kyoto protocol designed to prevent global warming?
Oh, but the moment it has any economical consequences, suddenly it's an evil plot to take money away from "our precious and beloved country!"
Sorry to crush you with this, but the world's needs are more important than a few enterprises' economical whims.
if the warm currents are going away from Europe, what will happen to the atlantic?
Warmer water, more hurricanes, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
On the other hand, I'd rather see the US going into an ice age. They're the ones that refused to follow the Kyoto protocol.

After all, the MS Office XML format is so hideous that I doubt any programmer would want to modify an application that dares touch the thing!

Thank you, Microsoft!
How does FF1.5 render the ACID2 test?
Yeah unfortunately a lot of that anime has the terms "DragonBall" or "-mon" in it. :-/
HAH HAH!

Ah... that felt SO good.
Can anybody explain me why it was modded off-topic? (Not that I care a lot, i mean, I could've perfectly accepted a "redundant" mod).
It may not be the same link, but it's the same vulnerability we're talking about. So, yes, technically, it's a dupe.
I suppose that's because a buffer overflow makes IE6 execute code directly. The scanner (in my case, VShield) noticed there's an exploit in the webpage, but there's nothing else it could do. It's like some security guards saying "hey, a thief opened this door!" and they close the door, but don't catch the thief.
Yes, this is a very dangerous problem.

Heh I asked the same question. See the answer here.
Perhaps a nintendo powerglobe would do the trick... that'd be a really interesting experiment.
How can it distinguish the different chords? TFA only mentions two orange blobs (the two hands), but they don't say anything about how to recognize when the different strings are pressed.
With only 26 available they should fetch a hefty price and be accessible to only the wealthy.
3. Profit!!!
It all makes sense now.
