and also prevention from pressing enter when you really wanted \ or ; or SHIFT or other keys that sometimes cause problems.
Can they make it so the (start) key requires about 50 pounds of force to press it down? Or, even better, just take it out. The keyboard on the server at my dad's office has no (start) keys, and it's pure bliss.
The reference to the powerbook was an example, you insensitive clod. And regarding your comment about how all computing is desktop computing, well, I never said that, did I?
No, it is time to get developers to realize that there are other platforms one can use for a mobile computing platform that are NOT Windows.
Too bad windows is where the users are. It's the same reason I can't find cheap, reliable terminal emulation for my client's powerbook. There's not sufficient user base to make those sorts of apps profitable.
Why bother with a serial number in the bullet? Modern forensics can already tell you if a bullet was fired from a particular gun, as well as shell casings, which is as good as a serial number.
One thing that would be nice, though, is a nationwide database of guns, so when you purchase it, it's test fired and the firing pin impression and rifling grooves are on file.
Wanna know why there's so few comments on this so far? All the/.ers are busy either closing their accounts or working to open new ones with "their" SSNs.
Microsoft just announced that they are integrating a graphing calculator into Longhorn, along with several other "new" features, including a widget generator and a task switcher code-named XPose.
....except that you need to book your fare well in advance to get that sort of price on a plane ticket. To the best of my knowledge, you can walk into a train station, buy a ticket and be on the train when it departs.
I had the privilege of going to France on my dad's money a few years ago, and I'd have to say, the mass transit there was truly impressive. You could take a train from Paris to the suburbs for pretty cheap (the exact rate escapes me, and either way it was in francs), and we went from paris to Caen (normandy) and again to avignon (southern france). Even the low-speed trains were remarkably efficient and cheap, and the high-speed was nothing short of remarkable. As for the problems with sharing space, scheduling, etc, it really wasn't an issue. Anywhere public transit didn't go, you could hop in a cab and go for much less than gas, parking and car would cost you. And Paris cabbies are actually rather talkative, providing you get one that speaks english.
Correct you are. In fact, there was an incident in here in Minnesota a while ago where a guy flew his cessna into temporary class-B airspace when the pres was in town. Almost got turned into a grease spot when the F-16 came blowing past at 500 MPH and dumped a full load of flares right in front of his nose.
Needless to say, the guy got the idea, turned around and went home.

At least you won't need to pay for a furnace or natural gas....
I sit enlightened.
I think not. Try implementing that.
Heh, I just searched bestbuy.com and they sell an Apple keyboard with Bluetooth for $80 and an Apple Bluetooth mouse for the same price.
Ummm, the Apple Store has them both for $59. Sometimes Best buy isn't always the cheapest buy.
What about my passion for drop-kicking my tower after it bluescreens?

Could someone post a torrent of this, please?
Maybe the new PS3 has some technology that makes it difficult to mod.
Self-destruct, anyone? It'd make for funny warning notes on the console, as well as some pretty "funny" lawsuits.
But why in the fuck is it illegal?
Because it's in California. Any other state and they'd merely be shunned by their neighbors and harrassed by annoying teenagers.
btw, anyone else think this image verification thing is annoying?
....who, after reading the article, seems like it's more concentrated on producing a self-sustaining fusion reaction than just a huge laser?

You can say that again.....they've been slashdotted.
Couldn't one just probe the connections and find the bad cord? Seriously, this is slashdot.
Not helpful for the music you get from the itunes music store, though.
Why would you spend so much time changing the color of an error screen that, if your computer is config'd properly, will never appear?

Shameless copying, indeed.

Wouldn't that be 1 year, 9 weeks and one day?
That image doesn't look like a hard drive carrier, it looks like a pull-out handle.
