I meant files in the directory, but since VIM was written for UNIX systems anyway that's why the feature wasn't built in. I thought of grep but Windows doesn't have such a tool included.
For the same reason script kiddies attack people, probably

It's interesting the way that's written, because it tells me that you didn't like the book in the first sentence. If getting people to read the entire review was an issue, which is not the case here, then that would have been moved to the last paragraph.
Now I understand why all of those pretty lights are being put on to hardware that gets locked up in my fully opaque case - so the testers have something nice to look at while the hardware is on the bench!
IE blends the pixels with alpha full opacity onto the saved background color, which seems that a lot of editors save to that boring grey. The GIMP can set it to whatever, though.
I think VB Script already did a number on computers. It seems like one of the most useless inventions since I never wanted to touch that mess and the only time I ever saw it in action is when one of those scripts were deleting files on someone's hard drive. It wouldn't be such a problem if Windows had a better security model.
You could also just print out a larger matrix without the letters and then associate shapes on the matrix with passwords. Of course the only problem with this approach is people might end up picking a lot of common shapes.. Like a rectangle or four dots in the corners.
If consoles were going to kill PC gaming it would have happened already. Sure, it can be expensive, but people seem to keep spending money on the expensive graphics cards and upgrades. I like how his opinion comes at a time when only prerecorded video has been shown along with system spces. No one has publicly played any games on these systems yet. The games would have to make people's heads implode and be the best thing ever since breathing to really kill the PC gaming industry, and I have a feeling that's not going to happen.
Joi Ito's opinion: "fans of the Japanese anime series Naruto regularly post translated episodes of the show to BitTorrent, which attracts more fans to the series."
I'm really tired of seeing this sort of thinking repeated over and over as if it were to suddenly make the act of sharing copyrighted materials legal. I won't disagree that in some cases piracy can be a good thing, but that still doesn't make it any less illegal no matter what spin you put on it.
It looks like they do (bilinear-like) scaling in hardware before displaying the image. This is another reason I won't replace my CRT with an LCD since I like playing around at lower resolutions too.
I hate loud typing when I'm trying to work. It irritates me so much. The sad thing is that's going to be the norm for someone in my field. I want one of these!
I can see solid state computers putting a dent in Microsoft's market share, but I don't see a wide acceptance of the technology until solid state storage catches up to everything else. (HOW expensive is a moderately small IDE flash "hard" drive?) The guy writing the article comes off as a bit of a fanatic. He seems to think that it will end the "reign" of commercial software, but honestly, that's never going to happen. How do you think the software developers feed themselves?
This line of thinking didn't work for AGP video hardware because the integrated graphics stuff gets connected directly to the bus making an upgrade out of the question unless you wanted to buy a lower power PCI card. With PCI-X I suppose it won't be an issue though.
It would be nice to see more modern integrated graphics from someone like nVIDIA. I've been running into one too many of Intel's "EXTREME" integrated graphics chipsets (which are without a doubt the total opposite of extreme in regards to 3D.) It would be nice to get some real quality out there especially for people who unwittingly buy a computer with an integrated graphics and then later decide "hm I would like to play game x now." With decent graphics hardware they could put off buying an actual graphics upgrade until they get a computer with a free PCI-X/AGP slot. This happened to my friend recently, and unforutnately for him, he was stuck with one of Intel's clunkers.

Yeah, Crimson's great, but I noticed that gVIM can do everything Crimson can except for regular expression searches in files.
Also, if anyone remembers: Someone already pointed out that there's support for morse code on Nokia phones apparently.

Which is why it's a good idea to use printf("%s", string); instead of printf(string);
"...and we go to Sharon who is standing next to me in front of a blue screen for the story." (You know, like the Daily Show.)
And if that doesn't work, they could just cut to people and have some random scenery behind them or the little bobbling opengl time screen saver

How about an orange flag?
Technological advancement will realistically never stop as long as humans exist, but it can be made to slow down quite a bit.

Yeah, The Onion is into the business of making accurate predictions about as well as a lightbulb factory is at making hard drives.

You could raw read the whole CD then just cut out the sections with the PCM data

That's neat. Most of the other motherboards that I've seen with integrated graphics don't have another AGP slot for plugging a card into.
