Read your post again for me.
Now, that means you can chose to use the GPL 2.0 terms on the software that was distributed by that license (like lets say The GIMP 2.0) or, if you like you could chose any later version of it.
Look, While I can not specifically state any of those use I think the main point is that while MS Office has a set of {A,B,C,D,E,F,G} features and OpenOffice and other Office suites just have a subset of {A,B,C,D} features there is no for Microsoft to use the other file format, why? because if it is going to be an "open" format it will stand at the lowest common denominator, and what will happen is something similar to what happened to the RTF, people will use the {E,F,G} features of MS Office and in order to save their documents with those features will HAVE TO use the "no nopen" format (a.k.a..DOC) which support those features...
I think of RTF as a "open" format for word processing, why did they need to invent another format? have you tried saving your word document in RTF and open it in OpenOffice? what is wrong with that? well, there are some features in MS Word that are not available in the RTF, and that will happen to the OpenDocument even if MS gives the option to save in ".odw" or whatever.
Two things I have against this AJAX web applications:
1. Keyboard shortcuts: It means they will have to mix the browser keyboard shortcuts with the AJAX application and that will be a mess, for example I was testing the AJAX Document writer and after typing some text I pressed CTRL+R to "align right" and whoops, my page was reloaded and the text I typed before was blank.
2. Secondary mouse click:
If web applications want to achieve the OS native applications they will have to use context sensitive menus via secondary mouse click, this means developers will have to [again] mix browser menus with AJAX application menus...
Until now I have not seen any good AJAX or JavaScript application that makes a good use of this two things which I think are necessary
It would be nice to see them provide newspapers for easy download to these devices.
I think the approach will be for the newsaper providers to give the service of a device-friendly version, right now, a paper I read a lot called La Jornada has a HTML (even text only version [english translation ) for free.
So I guess the New York Times and other news will have to do the same.
The problem with gun games is that they have limited replay value. They are designed to be played in arcades, so they can't take longer to beat than an hour or so, tops.
I dont know. I remember playing a sinper game from Knomai in the arcades. I think counting that you have 2 kind of games now one is the normal shoot them up kind of game (ala Lethal Enforcers) and you could use have another more "stealth" like method using sniping.
Now, personally I think it wont be too hard to mix the FPS genere with this kind of devices. Instead of moving the crosshair with an analog stick you could use the Revolution control to aim. And uou could always use the analog stick to actually move walk. It makes a lot of sense for me.
Interesting, I understand and somehow agree with you. As have been a programmer since the days where you *needed* to count your bytes of code (because as everyone knows, someone thought 640 should be enough for everybody).
Moreover, I agree with you in that I also hate the trend of the bloated software. But, it is not only a MS Windows problem, you see it also in Linux (KDE for example), as a simple example, go to this page and see the difference between the 7 previous versions of Acrobat reader or in the same page look at the nero file history, I can not understand how [with acrobat reader] reading a PDF could need from 1.4MB to 16MB! that tells you how bloated the software must be no?
if no one is going to go to Blu-ray, then who cares if the PS3 has it?
This seems quite sad, personally I like blu-ray but, I think it will end being just another Sony format. And in relation to the next generation game consoles, I think it will be like the GameCube propietary DVD format, it didn't make any kind of format revolution, or more to the point, sony UMD/MiniDiscs or other media sony has made...
You may be joking but, it is a logical fact that the people that use MSN do [may] not use Google \wedge people that do not use MSN [may] use google.
So whats in it for GP, just to increase the number of people that sees his add, and I think the people that sees MSN adds will be what we call Joe Sixpack... so it may be a "computer literate" population, it is up to GP to exploit that.
I just made a search on Teoma... from what I saw, Scirus is better at constraining the search on scientific papers/information. Teoma is more like a web search engine.
Also the Scirus.com refining proposals are better and more (in the specific query I did) than those in Teoma.
Anyway, nice to know there exists 3 of them (google scholar... although I do not tend to use it)
Interesting fact... Search for "Google Birthday" in google witht he "I am feeling lucky" option and Google will take you to a Page not Found, on this page there used to be an anser about when is google birthday...
On a news post that does not yield too much discussion...
do we still hate GIF's even if the patent has expired?
It is not about hating GIF, I think most of us do not hate technology at all, I think we never hated GIF, we hated the patent and the company behind it.
In the same way, (i think) we hate Microsoft, but we (at least I) do not hate Windows, or Office, those are just (from the technology POV) demonstrations of what we can achieve with technology, with good and bad things, or good and bad applications. Or like the Atomic bomb, we do not hate the technology, we hate the people that used to kill a hell lot of humans.
In that way, and going ontopic, nowadays, we love google, because they are making excellent technology, their search page, their email client, their maps etc. Of course they where not the first in ANY of these technologies, and they are not the only ones, but they are making it in a right way (notice it is not the only "teh righ t way"). Although on these more recent days, I have seen that some "do a bit of evil" karma has been sliding into Google, and even if Google starts to be Evil with E as in "MS" we may start to hate it but gmail or google local will continue to be a great technology.
Althoug you may not believe it, there is people that hate google (to some degree) as for example some of the Adsense buyers (the REAL google customers) because the not so fair google behaviour on that side (yep... has some kind of monopoly over there, but again it does not means we HATE the adsense technology).
This is the so called "information age" and, Google is playing a big part on it. Google will stay alive for a lot of more year, and IMHO will become as influential as IBM once was to technology (in the days of the Big Blue). We only need to hope that it stays doing "just a bit of evil".
I really doubt an ipod would be usable after 50 years (with a normal day to day use), it would be interesting to see if some of these radios are still usable.
In some article they stated the radio was like almost US $300 (on today's dollars). But of course I am sure the "Use N' Throw" culture was still not abundant in the USA.
I still remember there was a time when an Operating System was meant to provide the BASIC FRAMEWORK to use other applications, it will manage the system memory, it will make sure the processes ran nicely and it will give the user basic tools to execute other APPLICATIONS.
Of course, then, some stupid company started bundling whatever application it wanted to the default operating system installation and now it does not matter what OS you install you will always need at least 2000 MB for the basic installation...

Perhaps they'll add that in the next release.

Official site for KDE Plasma, the KDE4 desktop.
Man... that Jessica Hall girl is hot!
Makes me wish to become a KDE developer =o)
you insensitive clod!
I got an easier fix for you and 100% reliable.
Fast maximum security against rootkits/malware/spam!
give it a try, You will se it is quite useful!
(oh! and on top of that it tends to increase your productivity!)
maaaan that rules =op.
It works, now I can run all the programs that where blocked in my computer whoa whoa whoa!
Thank you!

So I guess the New York Times and other news will have to do the same.
What I want to know is how they can check for DRMed content without some kind of massive database.
Speaking of which, what on earth is next?
Mmmm... seems to be a work for Google

I will recommend you Scirus for scientific papers/information. It is really helpful and has nice refining features, I will try teoma anyway.
Wow, I certainly would like to see a conversation on 1337 (H1N33553!!
Interesting fact...
Search for "Google Birthday" in google witht he "I am feeling lucky" option and Google will take you to a Page not Found, on this page there used to be an anser about when is google birthday...
If you look at that page cache, you will see that the answer will be:
Google's official birthday is September 7, 1998.
Neat uh?

I hope Taco upgraded the editors code... at least the parsing bugs that some times ignored duplicated news posts
I still remember there was a time when an Operating System was meant to provide the BASIC FRAMEWORK to use other applications, it will manage the system memory, it will make sure the processes ran nicely and it will give the user basic tools to execute other APPLICATIONS.
Of course, then, some stupid company started bundling whatever application it wanted to the default operating system installation and now it does not matter what OS you install you will always need at least 2000 MB for the basic installation...
interesting, how technology has evolved uh?
What about a Tab? just press the appropiate key!
