The problem is, I think, is that people don't understand how the human brain processes these sorts of images, which is why most people are having limited success doing image analysis on computers like this.
Oh good, so they figured out how to add the extra dimension into ICs now? I was tired of having my reality compressed onto a 2D plane everytime I wanted to use my computer.
It depends on the configuration. Don't be fooled by the numbers because even the fastest computer can be made to be super slow by the careless administrator.
That's good. I ssh into the systems at work to work with vim most of the time so I can get away with using things with colors like naim and people can't tell the difference.
Where I work people don't care if I'm working at any given moment. They just care if I get stuff done -- eventually -- as in a reasonable amount of time. Whee. If people really wanted to waste time at work I'm sure they would have figured out a few tricks on their own by now.
First we have a guy who spends 1.5 years building something you can already purchase and now we have a guy who thinks he's clever because he re-invented the shelf!
Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't it work better to just put the laptop on the desk itself instead of raising it above the desk, which seems to have made it less usable? Laptops are designed for portability as it is -- also another magical trick that you can perform: Hide the desktop under the desk and then you can tell your friends that you've created a computer out of thin air!
It's one thing if you don't go out of your way to support an entirely different architecture that you don't make yourself, but it's entirely different to intentionally cripple your program when it finds out it's running on your competitor's hardware that's fully compatible with your own.
For worms or viruses that usually just cause wide scale network outages and economic damge? That's jus too extreme for what usually happens. It's not like these things end up killing people. I'd hate to see how that academic treats their kids at home.
highpower TV broadcasters argue that such low-power unlicensed underlays for uses such as WiFi would create harmful interference with their signals and lead to an inefficient allocation of resources.
Yeah, we wouldn't want to add any noise to those analog NTSC transmissions. They are practically noise free!
I only have an AV program running. I think it's sad to see so many slashdot users posting that they're using up to three different tools for this junk. I don't have spyware on my computer, and it's very easy to avoid. The first big step you can take is throw away IE or figure out how to make it stop auto installing applications.
Yeah, that one particular thing doesn't appear to make sense, but maybe try thinking about it like this: You press start to start the shutdown/restart/log off sequence. Also, if it was a problem, Windows makes use of a computer's power management features, so pressing the power button will also shut the computer down.
The updated complier is included in the latest version of the Platform SDK or the free command line compiler that Microsoft is giving away. I haven't actually used it, but I would suspect that most people would only activate it while they were in the process of testing.

I think it's because most people aren't aware of the alternative and this book was written to get them set up with the new (to them) browser.
If you notice software acting strangely then you've either found a bug or something is horribly wrong with your computer. Going to overclockers.com I notice that the site loads just fine and only "eats" about 5% of the CPU's time on average.
Read this with a British accent: "Additional research into the potential problems of fragmentation can be found in the 1987 paper "Fragmentation considered harmful" and the more recent "Fragmentation considered very harmful" from 2004."
Does that remind anyone else of a sentence that Douglas Adams would write? They still can't replace my favorite, though - Go To Statement Considered Harmful
Just run the computers behind a NATting device. That will give pretty good protection to the internal network unless someone decides to do something stupid of course.
The game has to be easy to learn and can have the player advance in them even if only played for short periods of time. I personally don't like to invest more than a few hours at a time if I'm playing a game. An example of one such game that can just be "picked up" and played is PSO - Not exactly massive, but it's online. No one will be able to attract casual gamers with real "serious" time gougers/wasters like Final Fantasy XI. New online games will have to be designed significantly different if they want to appeal to a wider audience (including the potential addicts.)
See, this is exactly the problem with these new TLDs. While I'm all for seeing more of the creative
(and funny) names that can be made with them, people are going to abuse their meaning by making up phrases with them. Steve.jobs or blow.jobs anyone? TLDs like.com and.net don't seem to have this problem although they aren't necessarily used like they're supposed to anyway.

They would probably break all the UA reading web sites if they changed it now

You know something is bad when even the advocates hate it
Oh yeah, they're equals in terms of security.. Minus the tons of malware and viruses avaliable for Windows! Buhzing!
I used to just punch through with a thin metal spike. I hear that their ability to hold data reliabily decreases with this trick, though.

They must work for Microsoft

but if not I fear they risk looking like SCO and becoming the brunt of many jokes
And unlike SCO, they actually have a case

Linksys beat you to it. They call it the "network activity light," though.
