We already know that Lenovo are something of the fastidious scientists when it comes to keyboard design.
Do we ?
The only noteable addition Lenovo did to the great Thinkpad keyboard layout was the reinsertion of the "Windows" and "Context Menu" keys which IBM had removed to the satisfaction of a huge number of users worldwide.
I agree and I'm not bothering either. Sure it works fine on my water cooled rig but I'm using two laptops and some old Duron systems as well. In these systems Windows 7 is from just slower to unbearably slow compared to XP, while XP still allows the old Duron systems to be used for Firefox browsing, text editing and word processing comfortably and securely (with the addition of Comodo & Avira).
As for bluetooth, there is always the Widcomm/Broadcom stack which is miles better to Microsoft's.
So, what's the point in Windows 7 ? A cooler UI ? I would rather play a game than stare at the OS UI...
Probable reason: ``At the time we made clear that "we will carefully monitor conditions in China, including new laws and other restrictions on our services. If we determine that we are unable to achieve the objectives outlined we will not hesitate to reconsider our approach to China.",,

That's the most important point to anything I've read so far on this story. Use an address that will be read easily. Avoid words that lead to confusion when spoken over the phone.
This is extremely important to foreign language speakers.
I am currently engaged in wasting the time of a scam site by continuously asking instructions on how to pay with "Western UNION", how much euros the dollar is, how to explain to "Western UNION" that this is a legitimate transaction, what to do now, etc.

The goal is to type as little as possible and make them type as much as possible without giving pre-made answers.
I often find "Offtopic", "Overrated" and "Flamebait" to be more like "I don't like it". "Troll" is often funnier than "Funny". "Redundant" is usually OK but rarely used. So I am using a positive modifier to almost everything (except anonymous postings) and moderation now serves me to mark postings which were compelling enough for someone to moderate them.
That can be done in X3 as well (a frequent request implemented in TC was to let the game run in the background) but you have the option to let it run in 10x speed than normal. Which means that you reach your goals faster.
I have a second hand experience from a friend who is a dedicated EVE player; we gathered in his home to watch a movie a few months ago. It took him half an hour to finalize what he was doing before making himself available...
Gamers with a tighter schedule (work, studies, family etc) or a lagging connection to online servers should really consider an offline alternative that goes with their own pace and allows time speed adjustment. Without time speed adjustment (which is by definition incompatible to large online games) space games can be extremely time consuming.
X3 Reunion + Xtended mod (I didn't like TC very much) is a good alternative but I'd be willing to know more.
I'd say that we should let profiting from recorded music die.
Music won't die, although celebrities like Bono will be a thing of the past.

SpamAssassin 2010 Bug
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Thanks. SpamAssassin has saved a lot of time on my life.
I was using Spamcop and got a bit zealous on reporting so spammers flooded my email address out of vengeance. It was then when I learned that reporting spam to admins only works in a few cases while the majority of spam is sent either through botnets or from countries with relaxed or no spam laws.
SpamAssassin removed 99% of the spam without ever giving me problems of blocking wanted messages...
I'm not a Star Trek fan (I've only watched a few episodes of the original and nothing else), but I really like Stewart's works. For example I enjoyed his "Christmas Carol" much more than any other Christmas Carol (and there are several out there) as well as Henry II in The Lion in Winter. Actually I have to watch that movie again now that I think about it.
There *is* more depth, take a look at the final item:
2010 There are rumours that Apple is going to launch a larger iPhone/tablet device. Palm will hopefully announce a new phone at CES and everyone hopes that Nokia will unveil something amazing.
1) Organic molecules can be quite large so it could not necessarily be a better option to current manufacturing processes.
2) The original linked article states that "The possibility of using organic components with enzyme stimulated responses has some interesting possiblities" and I am wondering how much is reality and how much is possibility.
Warlords and warlike nations will always make war in the name of whatever catchy title on their times.
It was first recorded as a poem in the name of Love where the Danaoi would fight the Trojans, or in the name of the Pact with God where the Hebrew would fight those who lived in the promised land.
It used to be in the name of Christ for a long time in the Crusades.
It worked in the name of Nationalism in the recent World Wars.
It came to be in the name of Social Justice where Russia invaded its own people and neighboring states.
Recently it is in the name of Freedom. As in "Operation Iraqi Freedom".
Neither Love, nor the Commandments of God, neither the teachings of Christ, nor the love of one's nation which knows no borders (see various diasporas) nor Social Justice, and definitely not the ideal of Freedom have anything to do with killings.
Rest assured that catchy titles will be changing in the future, but the wars will always kill innocent people and reward the killers.

And your posting is currently moderated as troll. Makes no sense, but I believe there is still some informative value to moderation, see here:

Consider using modifiers to your advantage.
I often find "Offtopic", "Overrated" and "Flamebait" to be more like "I don't like it". "Troll" is often funnier than "Funny". "Redundant" is usually OK but rarely used.

Truly laughing for the guy who moderated your statement as "Redundant"
Wasn't he the guy who developed lzexe ?
Anyway, what's with surnames spelled in caps ? Does he say "I am fabrice" and then he screams "BELLARD" when stating his name ?

Why does the topic not link to the original video (or the original article) instead ?
Wasn't recombu.com the source of the clueless "Decade of mobile" article that appeared on Slashdot a couple days ago ?
Originality isn't a requirement for the published news ? Good connections with Slashdot editors suffices ?

I still think highly of Slashdot...
