Well if you want to believe that Internet Explorer is better soely based on that their reported number of bugs is lower than Firefox's then ok. Just don't ask me to clean your computer of spyware the next morning.
At least the Firefox developers are making a real effort to keep their program up to date. The program itself is designed better than IE, which is why I like it.
That's actually a good idea. States can use the prom as a defacto standard for testing for "nedriness" much like the IQ test can tell if a person is "intelligent" or not.
Isn't this going to really help people who are left handed when it comes to playing video games? I'm looking at the picture, and it's difficult to tell if it can work.
Well, seeing how the controller is symmertic in design, and the analog attachment is on a wire, I doubt it will matter which hand you decide to use it with.
It's not like Nintendo's engineers won't think of the most common situations for use of the controller like you did. Every company with a competent development team plans out everything using the same thought process that you have demonstrated. Don't worry about it.
Because there are still a lot of games that I haven't played for the older systems. I'm hoping that it will be cheaper to buy it for their new system than go hunting for the stuff to play it on the older systems.
How can you be so excited about a console you know practically nothing about?
Because it's not the specs or pretty pictures some people are primarily interested in. I think it's because some of the proposed features of the system like being able to play games from older Nintendo consoles on it. That's something to get excited over.
Depends. The claim is that active noise cancelling can save your hearing because it prevents you from turning up the volume in noisy environments. Notice the difference between having the noise cancelling on and off. The audio is usually much louder when it's on.
What is the obsession with speed for a drive that will really only be used for storage of low-bitrate media
If that's all you're going to be using your drive for - low bitrate media - then you'd probably do fine with a 5400RPM hard drive. Although, most people will use their drives for things a bit more intensive than that. A lot of applications, especially games, take a long time to load because of the speed bottleneck on hard drives and the amount of data they have to load. People who create new content, especially people copying LARGE files or doing a lot of video editing (large lossless files if done right) would appreciate the extra speed. There are also a lot of things that normal people could do with 500GB of disk space too. I would also like to see faster hard drives, so don't discount their usefulness just because you don't see a need for it.
In some situations, yes, the cord gets caught up in some things, but then you could go around the desk and straighten things out to resolve the problem. I don't like the idea of wireless devices for my desktop computer because it seems so silly that I should need to worry about powering things that could easily be hooked up to the power source that's sitting right next to them (the computer.)
It's just like making hardware with built in AV software. The idea to me seems absolutely redicilous. Why does the industry need to revolve around fixing Microsoft's problems? Virus scanners are primarily (if not totally) geared towards Windows, right?
Intel makes a general purpose CPU, and it works just fine. They shouldn't be responsible for fixing their hardware (thinking of the hardware AV idea) because of software that someone wrote to run on it that has undesirable effects to the end user. Similiarly, the PHP developers shouldn't be bothered to fix the (common?) mistakes made by hobbyists or otherwise.
You don't have to have a job related to that to hate it. Every single business these days overuses that word along with "product." Gee I wish they'd be more creative sometimes and less irritating. (It's not just "Virus Software" it's "Our Security Solution Products.. Oh yeah, and they might detect viruses or something.")
Actually, the most annoying one I saw recently was on Imation's web site. It's from their "Business Select" line of media, which they describe as a "high quality digital storage solution". Right. It's a writable DVD thank you.
Well, seeing how CNN calls it a "Terrabyte DVD recorder" I guess we can't totally blame the poster for duplicating it in the title, but it would have been nice to get a technical correction the second time around.
I was thinking the same thing. Makes me wonder why it hasn't happened yet. Probably because if the author(s) got caught they'd be in more trouble than the people who made worms. Still, I find it interesting that no wide scale disaster hasn't happened yet.
I didn't say it was perfect. It does have those weird things that could have been done better, but it's not too horrible (look at the UI for GIMP 1.x.)
It's not hard for me to pick up on a new program after playing with it for a bit. Yes, there IS a slight learning curve with anything like that, but I'd rather see them make their own usable UI (the current one isn't horrible) instead of copying from Photoshop.
And yes, for Photoshop people, even the current version of the GIMP shouldn't give you much problems if you spend a little bit of time with it. And no, learning how to use the GIMP won't make you forget how to use Photoshop.
One of the biggest turn offs in any online game is probably being able to hear the players talk. That's one of the first things that gets turned off. My imagination is much better at providing an experience that fits the current situation than anyone else can.
Sorry to point out the obvious but isn't Sony one of Nintendo's competitors in the handheld market? Company A saying bad things to discredit company B? Unheard of!
Intel is developing a new technology that could prevent unauthorized access to wireless networks
Could it be..
Setting the router defaults to be more secure
Printing out how to run the setup utility included with the router to secure your network on a big bright yellow card
Forcing the user to pay attention to the settings by setting the WPA key to a random default
Printing, in big letters somewhere on the inside of the box, explaining how if the user runs yet another inescure 802.11b network, the terrorists have already won
</sarcasm>
It seems like Intel might be searching for an automatic solution for this problem, which is bound to fail as quickly as they can put it out in the wild. How do you protect users from bad network setups if the users largely aren't aware that the problem exists? We don't need new technology, we need to modify existing technology that, while it might add a few extra steps, forces users to pay attention to the problem that everyone here is already aware of.
Yeah, yeah typical "more money = always good" attitude. I'd never do that to myself just because the money is better. I would much rather enjoy what I do than get more money for something that I don't necessarily enjoy.
We are who we are, and most of our achievements aren't due to how our brains and bodies are wired at birth, it's what we do with our brains and bodies.
You seem to be forgetting that your physiology influences how your mind works, and therefore how you end up deciding how to live your life. So yes, it does have a lot to do how you were born, because if you were born as the opposite sex I bet you wouldn't have the same thought patterns as you do now. Try to overlook the fact that you would be treated differently as a child because, the way you put it, that shouldn't be much of a consideration either.

That's basically what I was saying, but indirectly.

If you can't get 'em with quality, hit 'em with quantity!
