Perhaps stereo-3D gaming is the feature PCs have been looking for to steal the hardcore gamers back from the consoles? Discuss.
Nope. The Playstation 3 will support Stereoscopic 3D gaming in an upcoming firmware update (along with Bluray 3D) - and there's already one game that has support for it pre-baked in. Guess which one.
4096 byte sectors are fine. It's nice that we'll get roughly 10% more usable space for no cost.
But I think it'd be nice if when I open a 4KiB file it said 4KiB. According to metric prefixes accepted in virtually every other field, 4096 bytes is 4.1KB (or 4.096KB to be exact) Being "digital" does not give the right to use the wrong prefixes and cause confusion.
It's also worth noting that this is Microsoft's fault. Other OS's are doing it properly. Microsoft only does it properly when it benefits them. HDD manufacturers have faced numerous lawsuits simply because Microsoft is using the wrong prefix, so people feel cheated out of space. And the issue will only get worse... Every time we jump from one incorrect prefix to another.
Give it up. Noone wants to use stupid units of measure that sound like something you feed your cat. KB is fine.
You aren't allowed to put a price on a tender to the best of my knowledge. The idea is that the tender goes out with requirements, and the responses come in with the prices. You'd then pick the one that best meets the requirements (interestingly, you don't have to select the lowest quote).
Actually you can run a command from the installation CD to drop a copy of the recovery console to your PC. The pain in the ass is that the recovery console doesn't allow you to run programs - just a specifically whitelisted set. But of course that set lets you enable/disable drivers and services, as well as manipulate the registry.
Uh, no. Nokia holds patents on the core of cellular technologies such as WCDMA and GSM, which they were part of the invention of. Every other vendor licenses them (Samsung, LG, Sony-Ericsson, etc) but Apple said "why should we? our zealots will protect us!" as usual (see Cisco v. Apple) and as usual they're right. Apple was way in the wrong there. And Apple sued Nokia for - surprise - obvious inventions like "touch screen!"
Other examples in recent history of patent "mutually assured destruction" usage include: Microsoft v Tomtom (FAT32 v GPS) Intel v AMD (x86 v x64)
Good luck avoiding roads and footpaths. And don't you dare ever turn up to a hospital without insurance, or call the police or fire department. After all, those aren't things government should be doing, should it?
You also don't need to buy support from an existing provider. You can ask the project leaders for something you find valuable to submit a bid for annual support within a defined price range. With the price range limited, they automatically win on competence.
I don't know what it's like over there (I expect it's similar) but over here that would be illegal as any competitor to that project could file court action claiming corruption in the tender process. And win.
They also stole the iPhone trademark from Cisco. Negotiations weren't going their way, so they just announced the iPhone and expected their devotees to stand for them and denounce the evil Cisco not giving up their trademark.
Trademarks apply to the fields you are in ONLY. Microsoft using the name Bing for a search engine does not infringe upon the rights of Bing Information Design, Bing Carbureter, Bing Surfboards, Bing Nursery School, and that's just in the first 5 pages of Google. I'd go further but Google fucks up and loops back to page 1 if I click next on page 5.
So respecting trademarks would indeed be dismissing this case.
Delusional much? In reality, a snarky reply would come back indicating that:
1. You don't have the authority to requisition funds from another departments like that 2. Overtime pay is operational. Your department is responsible for it 3. You didn't have approval to purchase food, so you aren't getting reimbursed for it 4. Licensing costs are paid for out of IT operational budget. Quit whining 5. Servers are paid for out of IT capital budget. Quit whining 6. Step out of line like that again, and you're fired.
They did it last year. And you forgot the up to a couple of days wait for the office to approve your chosen name.
Hey, it could be worse - you could be starting an Australian company. I once went online to find out how to do that, and half an hour later had more questions than when I started.
And yeah, US companies cost entirely too much to set up (I've been trying to set one up so I can funnel my sales income out of reach of the IRD, since the IRS charges less).
Actually, InnoDB is not GPL, it is included under the GPL as part of their exclusive license to MySQL AB. As such, because the license is exclusively with MySQL AB, the termination of that license would terminate downstream as well (presumably. and not retroactively).
As I said, "it's not wrong to have it". The spelling is marked as "uncommon", so it isn't wrong. It looks like you may actually be agreeing with me here.

Can they listen to your phone calls? Read your emails?
Um, yes? They already do?
What the fuck? You're somehow making an article about terrorism into a Microsoft rant.
Get the fuck out. Seriously.

New Zealand, actually. But that crap goes on here too.

Naturally, they were right.

Sounds like EA.
So yes.

And said employer can only hire you if Work and Income says they have no mouth breathers to fill that role.
But we do have a scheme that gets you in if you have money!
Can you tell we elected a centre right government?

Run Windows Update. Microsoft "licensed" that "patent" over 2 years ago.

Oracle owns the InnoDB engine. That could REALLY gum up the idea of forking.
Until MySQL crashes and obliterates your indexes, yes that's true.
No. Google charges MUCH less for Content Network ads than Search ads.
I think I've found your problem...
Nope. Enterprise program membership ($299) doesn't let you submit to the app store at all. For that you need a company program membership ($99).

Ron Paul would have been the downfall of your country (and most of the rest of the world, while he's at it).
The guy's a nut.
