It's fairly new? Probably needs time to settle down a bit - this is a fluctuation. I honestly hadn't heard about this until I read xkcd, makes me a bit happy:/
It'd work WELL for things like left 4 dead, where that bloody film grain makes an appearance. Turn it way up for the horror games, save the important cycles for A.I. or mass zombie hordes:)
Or leave it on for the ultimate A.I. experience, where your teammates just randomly shoot you in the head - I guarantee it'll pass the gaming turing test.
WRONG, there used to be a lot more nudie pics of some Russian lass called Elena Hohlova floating around, and now there are about 4 left. What happened?
Sorry, I knew the context, but assumed nobody would bother with editing BOOKS on a PHONE. He mentioned that this was OT, and also Macwrite 1.0 which has nothing to do with iPhones. Now I think about it, I'm not sorry at all, that was a kneejerk reaction... for which I must apologise.
I make no assumptions about slashdot readers these days. They come from everywhere.
You crazy bastard, here it is. I've had it for ages, oohed and aaahed at it for a while with the bookmarks and whatnot, and promptly ignored it. I don't do much with text files. Turned the sound off, and it's really quite pleasant. I don't know if it can open a text file at the same place you closed it, but everything else seems fine.
This is such old news that one of my favourite books, Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome, has already covered it. Published in 1889, and required reading for anyone with a sense of humour.
Regarding the shift, it's just a question of compatibility. Accounting software, tricky little apps that log your calls... we can't guarantee any of this under linux, and it's still cheaper for the customer to pay for and train themselves to use Vista rather than pay for ridiculous amounts of support time just to get their applications running. If their applications won't work under Vista, then they might find themselves facing a choice, but that's only the case with older unsupported apps now.
As somebody on the internet once said, "Linux is free if your time is worth nothing."
That's fascinating. I have learned exactly the opposite. There are huge batches of crappy products for each vendor that come out in waves, IMHO. Most of the Linksys routers we sold broke around the same time and drove us back to D-Link.
If you're curious about how such a situation could arise, I suggest looking to season 4 of Married... With Children for the answer. Unfortunately I can't provide a clip, but Al Bundy gets a loan of $50,000 from Steve's bank in an amusing scene so that Steve can beat his fellow workers and get a free holiday.
Yes, printers. If someone has a USB printer they need to share, I'd much rather serve it from their virtual server with any stupid software it requires. Hardware print servers and compatibility make me cry.
The idea that you feel it is right to preserve your own life will be taken as proof that you have a knowledge of right and wrong...
Interesting - sounds like a bit of Catch-22. If you haven't read the book, it is set in Italy during WW2. All the bomber crews want to go home, but the easiest way out is to plead insanity. You also have to request to be sent home, but doing so implies sanity, nullifying your eligibility. Great book.
Look, thinking of vibrato, have you heard Jim Carrey really cutting loose? It is, hands-down, the most surprising thing I have ever experienced, and I have been to Japan.

What the fuck is wrong with you? Get some perspective.

I know EXACTLY what you mean, and so does Kanishka.
Most of the ones I've looked at lately have been arse-coloured. Don't judge me, I'm just using the mirror the way it was intended.

+ve, -ve, earth. DUH.
I hear it only needs two, but I don't believe it.

She may notice the bright flashing of your upload laser though.

And what a waste of time that was - well, actually, I liked the clouds. But they should've spent more time on the animation.

HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT

I think that every world-wide banking situation that can arise has been handled already in MwC :)

I have a program which does transcription of podcasts for me. Here ya go:
Dear aunt, let's set so double the killer [transcription ended (kill)]
You know what? Forget it.
I'll point mine directly at yours, you point yours directly at mine, and at the signal, we unleash our furious streams!
o sweet jesus what have i conjured up in my mind

What country are you talking about? Which country are you talking from? What in God's name are you talking about?

I think he's old enough to be legally independent anyway, but thanks for the offer.
...and then the costs of going to the US to pick it up. I don't think many people actually ignore shipping costs when purchasing online.
Perhaps the search engine should parse the more 'colourful' wording/spelling or colloquialisms in the questions to help narrow down the results.
