People made the leap from one social network to another once. It will take INCREDIBLY compelling features to move, and I think you will only see small defections (Think Windows users leaving for Linux), yet the average joe will stay with Facebook.
Facebook has great presence in Mobile already, and I'm amazed they have waited this long to put ads on their iPhone app. I know people who have never logged on via their PC.
How do they measure the temperature of such a small area? And my (limited) understand of heat is that it is measured by energy transference between molecules. When those molecules are melting, how it is measured?
What people keep glossing over is the fact this man resigned for improper filing of expense reports. What CEO do you REALLY think files their own expense report? No director level or VP level executive does, they have admins who perform this task for them. Hurd couldn't fill out an expense report on a bet. He was forced out.
What major deficiency is there in the Safari browser? It works quite well, performance is good, tight integration with all internal and third party apps. And scores 100 on Acid 3. Unless you have a 2G iPhone or live in an area with really bad service, I fail to see what this offers.
This is nothing but corporate socialism. Why is this better than the government stepping in and providing health care and retirement? People can't expect their corporation to be responsible for individuals who can no longer contribute to the bottom line. It is inconceivable to think you can compete when you product and service is easily reproducible by another company which isn't burdened by this "gift" to workers. I feel for his plight, however a disservice was given to shareholders by leaving this employee on for so long. Employees belief of entitlement is why IBM is the dinosaur it is.
We have recently started doing code reviews using an online tools that ties very nicely into our SCM tool. All code changes have an associated defect or enhancement ID, are developed on a private branch, and prior to being integrated into the trunk have to be review by a member of a pool of subject matter experts. Since the team is world wide, having a web system to communicate between the various sites allows for faster response time, and helps ensure consistency in standards throughout the regions.
The product is by a company named Smartbear, called CodeCollaborator. Very pleased so far, http://smartbear.com/.
What's even more ironic, is that if they hadn't come up with Vista-Capable, these notebooks would have been stuck on XP. Seeing how a large number of users specifically downgraded to XP on a Vista purchase, I can't see how selling these machines with XP only wouldn't have been (truly) a feature.
Someone I work with buys and rents out houses as a side hobby, and in an attempt to save money is on her way to get her brokers license. Along the way she needs her agent license, which is being refused to be given to her until she joins the Texas NAR.
Toby Ziegler: They know it was on course traveling at a rate of 15,400 miles per hour, which it was supposed to. Somewhere during its descent it was also supposed to release two probes - each about the size of a basketball - firing them deep into the ground as part of the mission's search for evidence of water under surface.
Josh Lyman: We think if we hit the ground hard enough, we can make it to the center of the planet and find water?
Toby Ziegler: Yeah.
Josh Lyman: That's not a theory of physics pretty much disproved by Wile E. Coyote?

Spansion is NOR, which isn't used by USB drives or the ilk. That's NAND.

AMD doesn't make flash memory anymore. That division was spun off as Spansion.
If you're on AT&T, It's $10 a month, and it's called TeleNav. It's pretty slick, and does turn by turn directions. And I personally think it looks better than google maps. You can get a free 30 day trial by calling AT&T.
No, we prohibit gambling based on economic grounds, not religious. The lobbying organizations were not religious in nature, they were corporate. Notice the loopholes for horse racing and state lotteries.
Quit letting the government be my parent! There were plenty of legitimate casino and poker room organizations that were negatively affected by this. Party Poker, a public traded company lost billions in market value literally overnight when the U.S. passed this law banning the funding of online gambling accounts. While there are a few shady operatives out there, the gambling industry as a whole self monitors it self rather well. There are enough people out there monitoring the payout amounts of each site trying to squeeze the maximum EV out of there bets that shady operators are weeed out through supply and demand.
Congress wasn't trying to protect it's citizens. It was trying to protect domestic corporations and tax revenue.
There was a reference to the idea of iPhone - iPhone texts should be free. I know on my 1000 message plan that all ATT-ATT text messages are free, and unlimited.
Pre-installed that is. Must be because all the adware junk that OEM's try to dump on their customers won't work in 64-bit Vista.
Microsoft thinks they have the driver issue fixed by forcing all drivers that are WHQL'd to be 32 and 64 bit, but WHQL certification is beginning to lose it's relevance. Now that any driver can go into the "unclassified" category, all the stability guarantees WHQL provided will go away, and will simply become a rubber stamping body.
Since Program Files shouldn't be world writable, this should prompt you for the administrator password. This authoriation should then be cached for Explorer.exe.
The underlying problem here is exactly how much explorer.exe is tasked to do. It's the start button, the file explorer, and can be a launcher application. If explorer.exe is ever trusted, it is never unloaded from memory and is always running. You would have to spawn a new process for each instance, and have to trust each instance for that to begin to work, but we've just failed by having to reauthorize each instance.
Vista:You are trying to copy from a network share to the program files folder. This isn't allowed. Hit ok.
That's just idiotic.
I couldn't believe it when I read it. And it is so incredibly easy to defeat, I just don't see the point. Any malicious code simply drops itself into the root of the drive before shoving itself into program files. Not that there is any particular gain to be had, except maybe replacing executables. Again, this is easily bypassed.

And I'm quite happy without Flash, TYVM.
Because now its selective as to who gets the care. Only highly skilled individuals working for a select number of corporations reap the benefit.

That wouldn't necessarily have been a bad then. When then wouldn't have had to endure the turds which have been Seasons 3 and 4.
PBS claimed that delaying the conversion would cost them $22 million. Is that a check we have to write now lest we get sued?

Hey, I got that beat. I posted about this in 2004, but reported it to MS in 2002.

Unfortunately, this probably only affects about 20 people. Not trolling, but a fact.

How much CPU time does this decryption take place? In addition to being annoying, is there a considerable burden on hardware/software requirements?

OpenDownload fixes that.
