"Activation": Sorry, I won't buy software that requires activation if I can avoid it at all. I use imaging and move images to different machines on a regular basis, and I've experienced problems with various activation schemes from many software developers. Yes, it includes problems with Windows activation and WGA. I absolutely will not use software that requires activation unless I have no other choice.
Would you not have any problem if the freeway nearest your house suddenly traveled at 90 mph? 110 mph?
I would be elated if we could double the highway speed limits around here. However, it'll never happen, so I'm not holding my breath.
Do you think everyone on the Autobahn travels exclusively at the maximum (governed) speed of their car all the time? No, they travel at speeds appropriate to the conditions and their car. More importantly, the left lane is used for passing, not for cruising in for hours at a time, doing 20 under the limit.
That would have been a lot more impressive if it was a real quote, and not just a quote from a video game.
Ultimately, they're both sets of words composed by a person. What's the difference? Is it just that you expect someone famous to be attached to a quote? What if someone famous composed the words quoted in the video game? Would that still not be a real quote?
No, I run dual monitors and agree with the GP. Multi-monitor support in KDE 4.x is pretty weak compared to 3.5. For example, there's no way to have a plasmoid (the one that replaces kicker in particular) span two monitors, and there's no way to have a background wallpaper span both monitors, you can only clone from one to the other (or set them separately, but that makes the slideshow feature useless). Both of those features worked beautifully in 3.5, but are nonexistent in 4.x. Before you ask, I've already filed bugreports.
I agree, but that would require the death of IE6 (and XP), or IPv4. SSL is incompatible with name based virtual hosting unless you add in SNI, which isn't supported by IE6 (or any browser that runs on XP, for that matter).
Don't get me wrong, I agree entirely and IE6 and IPv4 should be nothing more than a bad memory by this point, but they're not.
Except for the fact that Google has already placed themselves in the crosshairs by using VP8/WebM themselves. Are you worth more than Google? Didn't think so.
IE6 won't die until it's more painful to stay with IE6 than to upgrade away from it. So if you want to kill IE6, that means dropping support for IE6, or if you have paying customers, charge them more if they're using IE6, and tell them that. Game! did the former ages ago.
I'm also typing on a Galant, but with a wood surface instead of glass, and an extension on the short side of the L (and T legs, of course). It has enough space for dual 20" monitors, 2 mousepads, 2 laptops, and speakers to wrap around me, with extra space to spare. Furthermore, it's deep enough that I can sit comfortably in my chair with my legs stretched out on the towers below the desk without my legs hanging past the end of the table. Oh, and because there's no stupid drawers, there's tons of legroom and space for computers below it.
Most people that see it say it's freakishly large, but I was actually thinking about putting another extension on the other side...

You know XP has activation too, right?

Yes, so a) officers can meet their ticket quota more easily and b) revenue generation for the local police department.

Well, what do you expect? Microsoft has always been a marketing company first and foremost.
They're allowing the STL but not custom templates. The STL alone makes C++ worth using.
Further further perspective... T1 is slow! They only run at ~1.4 Mbit/s.
simple... Send out a security update that renames it to Virus Inviter or Security hole, or Pwned or ... you get the idea...
Wouldn't do anything, users don't read.
No, IE6 is the most common web browser, however (and directly because of the former) it is the least popular web browser.

An MSCE is much cheaper and it also indicates you know nothing about computers without having to actually know very much about computers.
There, fixed that for you.

Cue! Cue cue cue cue cue! Not queue.
What, no mention of Game!?
Once again someone is comparing a codec to H264 using some small as hell resolution. Welcome to 2010, if it's not encoded at 1080p nobody cares.
On a cell phone, that's not true.
You're right, on a cell phone, nobody ever cares.
It's a bit better than this heap of flaming dung... well except for the parts that are worse.

No, Itanium is ia64.
Yeah, it's funny that they mentioned Mac/Windows at all. I mean, honestly, who uses those?
*slap*
It's x86_64 or x86. There's no such thing as x64.
This generation doesn't care about privacy. Why do you think Facebook is still around?
Apple? How about Google?
You seem to be in the wrong thread... Javascript is quite a nice language.

27"? Probably still 1920x1080. I'll keep my 2x 1600x1200 20" screens for nearly double the resolution, thanks.
