How do you mean? My HDTV has a DVI-in, and my DVR PC that I built has a video card with DVI-out. It's displaying the native resolution of the TV. There are definitely limitations to the do-it-yourself DVR PC solution, but hooking it up to a TV monitor isn't one of them.
Sure, but there are Google Nexus One apps that don't work on the Droid, and conversely there are apps that work on the Droid that don't work on many many 1.5 and 1.6 Android phones that are *still* actively being sold.
I get the 'what you look at on the Internet', and even TV watching if you Google show times, but how does Google or anyone for that matter know who you had supper with or when your last meatspace meetings were unless you *tell someone*?
I've wondered about the handwriting recognition; you just don't see/hear much about it anymore. But then, would you end up going back to a stylus or something? Handwriting with just your finger isn't going to be the same as if you're holding a pen. But I'd bet dollars to donuts Hell would freeze over before Apple includes any sort of stylus peripheral with one of their products!
OT a big, but I see a lot of suggestions about contacting a lawyer to discuss things like this in depth, but what should you look for in finding one of these lawyers? Specifically if you're not in a tech-savvy part of the country; i.e., say a medium-sized town in the Mid-West? I've got a project I would like some lawyerly advice on, but everyone locally seems to be either personal injury, property law, or divorce law. Would someone who's familiar with general contract law or something work? Or how do you go about finding a person or firm that's familiar with software licenses and IP law?
I dunno....my Netflix queue is pretty long and I normally will just wait until what I want comes through...but there's times where a new release comes out and I bump it up to the top so I'll get it next. Sure, it's not release day but it's a day or two later. I'm gonna be pissed if there's something I want to see now, I see it advertised everywhere, but I can't get it with my existing subscription until a month later.
I dunno, I played Oregon Trail semi-recently and found it still to be engaging and entertaining. And what about classics like Tetris or Dr. Mario? Some of those old games I see similar to Monoply, chess, checkers, etc. Games that are fundamentally fun no matter how old they are.
The client is sending us 2-digit years, and the legacy code mess was adding 2000 to anything less than 10, otherwise adding 1900. But why shouldn't we expect people to send 4-digit years now anyway?
This. It was actually almost exactly that - we're getting a two-digit year value from the client. Legacy crap code that I inherited had essentially "if number less than 10, add 2000, else add 1900". It's fucking retarded is what it is.
2 weeks before the new year I found in our legacy code multiple "Y2K10" bugs. We're a health insurance company, and this is for a major national client who is sending us data with a 2-digit year format. There is code all over the place that is making assumptions about how to treat those dates, but it's faulty logic. We've fixed what we've found, but have no way of doing a complete audit so we're just going to have to fix them as issues arise. I love the clusterf*ck that is my job.
The problem with that is this: I live in a small mid-Michigan town. My town of course does not have it's own CL site; but I live within an hour's drive of *3* towns that do have Craigslist sites. I'm willing to drive to any of those for a particular item I'm looking for. Conversely, if I'm selling something or wanting to post a "looking for" ad, I'd like to make it available to any one of those communities. Why should I have to make and manage three different searches instead of having a search of everything near me, or using RSS to aggregate all three of those site's content?
OMG please don't do this....we inherited an "app" that did just that - essentially the data had outgrown Access but they kept the front end. It was beyond awful - a hodgepodge of screens and controls, bumping up against the limits of how many controls could be painted on the screen....I think it was worse than if they'd kept it all in Access in the first place.
I've found the available adblocking on Chrome to be lacking. It works, sort of, but doesn't nearly have the comprehensiveness of the AdblockPlus filter lists, nor is it as easy to maintain or update (in FF I can click an icon in the status bar that brings up a list of elements to block/unblock. Or turn the whole thing off completely for that page. I don't think I can do this as easily in Chrome?).
I've found that most things in apt lag behind in updates. A bulk of the software I use day-to-day is multiple point versions behind the latest release; I've had to muck around with PPAs and getdeb and crap to finagle the same versions on Ubuntu as I use on Windows.
To all of you who think that it's some kind of social repression to frown upon people who make a habbit of unashamedly expressing themselves in a vulgar and crass manner, I suggest you go see the movie Idiocracy, because it's about YOU.
You talk like a fag, and your shit's all retarded.
How is Amazon using state provided infrastructure and defense or services if it has no presence in that state? It's already going to collect taxes in places where it has a physical presence, just like any other mail-order company.

Adwords on the website would take care of that, right? Any little bit would count, and it would all be a loss writeoff anyway wouldn't it?
What's the difference between lawmakers and managers, in terms of usefulness?
Not cheap, though.
That might be part of it....

(sure, I believe your kids downloaded Visual Studio)
It could have been the Express Edition :-P

Facebook can already import in your gmail contacts, why can't it work the other way and have gmail import your Facebook contacts?
So when's 2.1 and this multitouch goodness going to trickle down to my Moto Droid?

Obviously their keyboards and mice need apps.

Because Amazon would be spending time and resources on something that it does not directly benefit from?
See! Easy peasy!
