I think alltheweb.com is better for image searches than Google because they link directly to the image instead of making you load a whole webpage with a billion other things on it. I also think Google tends to suffer from being the most popular search engine out there, similar to how Windows suffers by being the most popular Operating System out there. Everybody's spamming Google and trying to make its algorithms fail, which can tend to make other search engines better. I think the general trend in information technology is, smaller is better.
It's not the concept that's new. What's new is it's becoming mainstream, at least by Internet standards. And podcasting is a good name for it because people who have lives are more likely to know what broadcasting is than what an RSS feed is, and more likely to know what an iPod is than a Rio Karma, or whatever. So anybody who is interested in going even more mainstream can benefit from the term. But I still refuse to refer to the journal part of my website as a blog.
Then it's settled. Microsoft is bad and Google is good, and if you disagree then you'll have huge URL's and somebody might die. While we're at it, China is bad, all software should be free, and "God Bless America".
I haven't had those problems. The only problem I have right now is the firewall tends to detect Slashdot as some type of attack on the computer, and blocks all access to Slashdot after I post a message. So I'd better make this one count. I noticed when they bought GoBack, that was the only time I ever saw GoBack wreck a computer. I also noticed, every new version of Norton Internet Security has some feature taken out of it that the old version had. And the new features they add are completely stupid. I see no point in adding a feature to scan files downloaded from AIM if the software scans all files placed on the disc anyway. It's marketing hype and a waste of memory.
But how competent do you have to be to make sure the program stops receiving data when the buffer is full? Why does the buffer's data structure even allow this?
I might take you up on that bet. I don't think this will result in masses willingly paying more money. I think it will result in less people paying for songs on iTunes, and more people fillng their iPods with.mp3 files. Or buying more videos and less music.
Among rap artists, Master P managed to become one of the richest people in Hip Hop, even surpassing Puff Daddy, all without a record label. M.C. Hammer made a fair amount of money selling records out of the trunk of his car. Nelly was a popular artist long before he got a record deal. In fact, Hammer and Nelly didn't become financially viable because they got record deals. They got record deals because they were financially viable.
If you knew what you were talking about then you would realize this can be dealt with in a "visual" programming environment. Making the window fit well within the smallest possible screen resolution and making it non-resizeable is one method. Maybe you should also consider the possibility that this could happen in a non-visual programming environment just as easily because it is a result of bad programming, and has nothing to do with the merits or faults of "visual" programming.
Yes but now you can drag a text box on the screen and type "Hello World" in its Text Property box. It's got potential to be a lot faster, especially for things like resizing the text and buttons. I think the old way of programming is necessary for the model but visual programming makes sense for the view. I remember spending a long time trying to get buttons and boxes in the right place by coding. It would have taken a few minutes if I could just drag everything to the right shape and location.
You know, my last memory of the NES was as a very small child. My cousin had one that had been there for a while and after hours of labouring and blowing into the cartridges, she finally got it to load a game without that flashing red light and the game resetting over and over. We all celebrated by jumping up and down. Then she tapped the corner of the haevy dresser with the NES was sitting on top. The flashing red light returned. Fine. As far as I'm concerned, that flashing red light is the original "blue screen of death".
This is not to say I don't like the thing. I ordered two of our favourite games on eBay earlier this year so we could relive our childhood (Contra and Gradius 2 AKA Life Force). Flashing red light. Fine.
ANY video that is H.264 (or MPEG-4) encoded can be played just fine.
I confirmed with Elgato on Friday that their next update to the EyeTV software will have native episode export directly to the iPod, too.
So I ask... what's so difficult about that?
What's difficult about it is 99% of my videos are mpeg2.
Slashdot Mirror
Then nobody should be complaining about the graphics being separated.
I personally think the only reason .Net is being used is a lot of business types blindly assume anything from Microsoft is good.

What they forgot to mention was they test the discs by burning high-resolution images of the goatse guy.

If Slashdot can find a following, these people can find a following.
I think there should be a law requiring the font size of the actual price to be bigger than the font size of the rebate price in the advertisements.

And the "start" button turns off your computer.
Maybe he can buy a new face...
Right, so this is just another "slashvertisement", except the product is more popular on Slashdot than usual.

I bet Mrs. Bobbitt will like it too because cutting limbs off might become a lesser crime if they grow back.
AIM has the ability to set an audio file to play or a popup window to show when certain "buddies" come online.
It seems to me like the biggest problem is not bounds-checking arrays. That's bad coding.
These people need to watch the Klumps.
I hope you get modded "troll" for that "ghetto fantasy" comment.

Or perhaps Google will take over everything and, after they have you completely dependent on them, start charging for all that shit.
