Try Dell vostro 1500. It's personal experience. Although it might have been Ubuntu 8.
Are you going to tell the banking customers "sorry, since you're too stupid to use linux, you can't use our bank"?
Too bad their network won't work because of missing drivers for wifi card as it usually happens on Ubuntu. Maybe the fact that internet won't work for customers is the ultimate security feature.
I don't think anyone uses IS-DOS for real life tasks. IS-DOS was a somewhat weak DOS clone made as replacement for TR-DOS but it seriously suffered from the low resources of Speccy.
I think they're both control-freaks. The difference is that stuff released by Microsoft is pretty open at first. Later they realize - oops, we should have implemented some kind of control mechanism. They try to add DRMs, genuine validations and loads of other shit with poor resluts. It's different with Apple because the first thing they write is the control, be it hardware or software, and only then they build a product around it.
I think it might work, if w3c was doing that part (or some new division w3c+, which handles non-web stuff as well). I mean everybody in OS community is just obsessed with w3c standards and implementing them correctly so I seriously think it might work.
Don't you dare calling me and disturbing my trail of thoughts with simple, non-urgent questions! I hate when people do that. Makes it impossible to work. Calling should be the last resort.
Apparently Google doesn't care much. I talked to a guy from Google in some unconference and they think that market will force manufacturers to implement the whole spec but somehow I doubt that. I imagine nightmarish tracking activities for Android app developers to keep their "my application is compatible with following Android phones" list up to date once the new Android based models start rolling out massively.
I recently installed Ubuntu on laptop (my 1st linux) and had problems with wireless as well.
Thing is, the wireless card problem can be easily fixed, but for some strange all tutorials, manuals and forum posts offer long, non-working instruction lists, that involve "wget" and "make". It's like asking - please, go away.
The real solution was to open synaptic package manager, configure it to use 3rd party repository and install ndiswrapper. That's it! Ndiswrapper found and downloaded the drivers automatically and everything was bright and sunny again.
Why isn't ndiswrapper in standard installation I have no idea.
I completely understand your pain. I was actually considering moving to IE7 because of this. It's glad to find out I wasn't the only weirdo in the world using the address bar that way.
And thank you for the oldbar link! The hope has returned:D
I'm driving mazda and the fuel tank flap can only be opened from the inside using a special knob. I wonder if introducing my car to the robot would cause any interesting results?
Ironically, bot might be more accurate than human in situations with characters that can be either one thing or another, since we perceive shapes symbolically and don't pay attention to details in letters at all.
The letters are too far away from each other - makes it easy to separate them for proccessing. In fact, the only challenging aspect for OCRs in your captcha is the letter rotation/skewing.
However, I don't think anyone will bother to write a captcha OCR for your site, unless it's Yahoo sized.
Due to the keyboard's diminutive size, Sinclair developed a scheme of assigning multiple BASIC keyword commands for each key, so users would have to press only one key (such as P for "PRINT") instead of typing out the entire command. Using the keyboard to type something that wasn't a BASIC command, however, turned out to be an exercise in frustration. Only masochists had any fun attempting word processing on the Timex Sinclair 1000. The writers are telling complete lies (sort of). ZX ingenious "command in a single keypress" schema worked only in basic (and TR-DOS) and only when starting a new line or after ":", which seperates multiple commands in a single line. When using word processor or any other application you obviously would get "P", not "PRINT". I know because we used ZX-Spectrum to create and print electronical documents for the office my dad worked in mid-90ies. It even handled Latvian letters with no problems.
Granted, our keyboard was custom made - it did have separate arrow and delete (which basically emulated Shift+0) keys, still, I'm sure it worked just like the origional ones.
Your arguments about moon mining are very valid and interesting, but it's too far away so could you please tell more about the kitten hydrocarbon fuel?
I have a different example. Function GetLastInputInfo when called from Windows service in Vista returns success as its return value as it should, but the data, which should contain time since user moved mouse or typed something, is always zero. All works as expected in XP.

Maybe the main thing the game companies look for in job interviews in candidates is fear of taking a legal action.

I'm not from America or Australia and I'm genuinely wondering what is the reason for forbidding collecting the rain water?
It's been reported that Google will pay Microsoft in adwords coupons.

This is something, therefore we must do it!
You don't even need that much - keep completely invalid, seemingly random files, which, XORed together, produce the original.
