Not talking about Bioware in particular here. How many copies have to be sold before it is interesting to develop a port of a game? There are a lot of linux users around, but since Loki Games no decent titles has been ported. Did Loki games crash so bad, that even considering the linux market is seen as stupid?
P.S. I call shenanigans on your Ph.D. Either that, or you just didn't read the article. Either way.
Feel free to check out my formal CV any time you would like and you should know earning it obtained reading a not insignificantly greater amount of material than a few press releases.
Iran is run by a bunch of wackos... I can live with that. But what really scares me is what happens when the RIAA hears of this - they will go for this shit in an instant.
First of all. Congratulations. Kde has come a long way.
Now as for things that I would like to see:
- better integration with sites like kde-look. Why is there a "Get New Wallpapers" button and not a "Get new icons", "Get new themes" and so on. Everyone likes eyecandy (even those who claim they don't:) ).
- Mac Spotlight 'nuff said
- And when we are stealing from apple: why not read http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExper ience/. These people are know for the usabilty of their os and applications. Why not learn from them? There is ample room for improvement.
- Some way to easily steal extensions from firefox and import them into konq. (I like kde, but no way in hell I'm giving up ff).
- Enough with the K crap, please
- One toolbar per application. Kile (a nice app none the less) is a scary example of not getting the idea of a toolbar.
- XGL + KDE. Is it at all possible?
- KDM shutdown picture (the lightning thing) is horrible.
The browser layout is: ||adressebar || ||Searchbar ||
However, the shortcut is ctrl+k for search and ctrl+l for search - that is to say the exact opposite (at least on a danish keyboard) orientation of the addresse and search bar. Stupid and avoidable usability error which is impossible to fix now as everyone has grown used to it:(
"Whether it's accepted or denied, a web page comes back."
Yes, but shouldn't that be enough? At that point you are able to make an informed decision about whether to store the password or not - it is a simple matter of reading the page which is returned.
Wait until the password has been accepted before offering to save it.
Other than that. Slim it down to the bare minimum and let people customize it with extensions.
Sorry 'bout the divorce, however

First of all. Get whoever is counsil(I don't know the american term) on thesis and kick him in the nuts.
Secondly, make him explain to you why collecting data on slashdot is a waste of time.
Thirdly, the premise of your thesis is uncertain at best. Proposing "our industry causes a high rate of divorce", is like saying "putting your head under water kills you" - it may not be wrong, but it does not explain anything. Could the reason for a (possible) higher rate of divorce be long hours? Or how about social disorders among computer scientists? Or any number other reasons.
You have had a pretty nasty experience. You need to get over it - Not glorify it in a thesis.
"At the time, there had been no Hezbollah activity reported in the area," he said. "So it was quite clear they were not going after other targets; that, for whatever reason, our position was being fired upon. "Whether or not they thought they were going after something else, we don't know. The fact was, we told them where we were. They knew where we were. The position was clearly marked, and they pounded the hell out of us."
And the "Hezbollah excuse" has not been made by the Israeli (at least not that I am aware of) - probably because it cannot be used as such.
If this is real (which I still have a hard time beliving), give the guy a break. It was obviously written in anger. And I am betting that you would be pretty pissed too, if your country men were being killed* because some murderous wanker in the Israeli army decided that bombing a UN post would be a good idea.
It could be argued that "susceptible to DOS attacks" is present in all crypto systems, that uses public (or not so public, for that matter) transmission systems - it is trivial to distort a message regardless of whether it is encrypted or not. What you view as a vice, I would characterize as a virtue. Now, at least, you know when Eve is trying to eavesdrop.
If you are a developer and want to make money - no. If you read the research on why women do not play games, the "designed-by-male-pig"-factor (think rumble rose for instance) is quite important. Of course there are other factors, but when you design a game, it is plain stupid to loose half the market because of a d-cup.
Standard use on hardwood floors. And I do not have children or dogs for that matter. What model do you own? I purchased the Discovery SE and I am certainly not the only one experiencing this - a quick search on roombareview can confirm this.
I really want to like the Roomba. It is a cool, affordable and self destructs about once a month. After going through five Roombas, I finally gave up and bought a Trilobite instead. The Roomba is potentially nice, but the crap quality means that it is little more than a nifty toy.
I can't imagine X-rays being used as porn, but whatever.....
Then you have pretty poor imagination. How long do you think it will be before the first "celeb-nudes" starts popping up? Some asshole operator is bound to bring a camera and a poor set of morals.

Here is a novel idea: How about winnings the ones on earth first? Then, perhaps, it will be a good idea to piss the world of... again...
pwned

Ok, I'll give it a try. Can I mail you if I get stuck?
You might want to take a look at http://ihu.sourceforge.net/ It has been getting pretty decent reviews...

Thats it. I am really looking forward to kde4.
Argh... son of a b...
You are correct. It is truly beautiful how I bash others for making mistakes, and cannot be bothered to read before posting.
ctrl+k = search, ctrl+l = addresse. Which is silly, regardless of my inability to make a decent post:)
I see your point. However, wouldn't it be preferable to it saving the wrong password?

Or think they do. Or hope they do. Or just don't care if they do. The police is not exactly an organization which is known for its infallibility.
Yet, the UN peacekeepers were killed none the less.
I am not arguing that Israel does not have the right to defend itself. I am arguing that it does not have the right to kill peacekeepers.
There is a reason that Israel (correctly) haven't used Hezbolla as an excuse in the bombing - it isn't one.
No, had been using.
"At the time, there had been no Hezbollah activity reported in the area," he said. "So it was quite clear they were not going after other targets; that, for whatever reason, our position was being fired upon. "Whether or not they thought they were going after something else, we don't know. The fact was, we told them where we were. They knew where we were.

*For those living under a rock, one of the killed UN peacekeepers was from Finland.
Well, Juvenal was talking about having eunuchs guarding the women, so it really is sort of pointless anyway.
Not that it matters. That quote has been abused to death anyway.

I would really like to send them to you, unfortunately I live in Denmark so
the shipping cost would probably ruin you:)

So yeah, I still think they are crap.

Sadly the current american administration doesn't care about international treaties.
But we welcome the highly skilled americans who wish to join us in Euroland:)
