Has anyone asked/answered this question? Most of his viewpoints never seem to agree with the general populace here (at least from what I have seen), so what is he doing telling us what we will/wont like?
I saw the movie oneping night, and personally, I was very impressed, and I reccomend it to anyone. Mind you, its is obviously not a mind-bender, nor does it follow the original plot, as it is not a remake of the original, as Burton has said many times. Its more of a "Burton's take" on the story. And a cool one at that.
Someone hasn't used Mandrake in a LONG time. Mandrake shifted all its admin tools (Which are far superior to any other distro's, in my opinion, especially when combined with Linuxconf) to GTK a LONG time ago, at least in 7.0.
Slashdot is basically all yesterdays stories today. It is not a news gathering site, it is a community where people share news they think other people would be interested in. A story is ALWAYS going to be on some other news site first.
Too bad Roger Ebert is a big fat moron. Try looking up some of your favorite movies on rottentomatoes.com, and compare his reviews to most reviewers'. Almost without fail, if everyone else loves it, Roger hates it. For instance, he totally thrashed Gladiator, saying it was horrid, etc, then it wins Oscar for best picture. And I personally love it:) I really hope FF bucks this trend though.
Asa frequent user of mandrake, I have to say that MandrakeUPdate is a very usefull and powerful tool. Nice GUI, ability to select Stable or Cooker (Development) updates, and good dependancy checking and filling make it awesome. apt-get is ok, but it lacks a fancy GUI. My favorite ssytem thouhg, howver, si the FreeBSD ports collection. Simply "make" the package, and it downloads and compiles the program, and any depdancies you need! Thus, you always have the source handy. I like this alot better then binary distribution systems.
The problem is mainly the truth that advertisers may be coming to grips with: that their whole business may not be as effective as they believed.
When advertisers place ads in magazines / on TV, they try to get our attention with flashy scenes, big pages, etc. But the fact is that 99% of people ignore them. And even if they DO pay attention to the ads, the odds of the add enticing them to purchase anything are low.
Until now, advertisers have had no die hard proof about how much their ads were affecting revenues. One can't monitor everyone who buys a magazine and see how many were affected by a particular ad. All you can do is make extrapolations based on the aggrigate.
But with internet ads, you can see EXACTLY how effective an ad is. If your clickthrough is low, the ad is not effective (at least that is the premise). So the revenues go down. It's that simple.
This whole way of measuring ad effectiveness is ludicrous. There are no ways to measure "clickthrough" rates for magazine ads or TV ads, so why should web sites be subject to the same thing?
Maybe this decline of the internet ad industry will cause some people depending on advertising to take a look at what they are spending so much money on, and ask if it is really effective at all, and if so, to what degree.
I don't know why you'd be stocking up on Win2k, unless you're planning on some sort of mass infestation ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H instalation program to get back at the companies.
Use a squid proxy or some toher mean to log the address and title of only sites that contain certain keywords. Then a quick scan of the logfiles at your leisure can see if she's been abusing her privlidges, without maintaining a privacy-endagering log of every site she visits.
I have used this and can attest to it working. It not oly worked, but worked fine connecting to a netmeeting user as well. So it is also viable for connecting to window users
said that they could not do a library, because they user C or C++ and different technologies
Why not just make a standalone app as a filter. It could accept word documents in, and output an XML formatted document and jpg images for images embedded in word. The XML doc could be an open standard, parseable by all open source word processors.
What does this mean for that Tivo-rip off product Microsoft is hawking that I've seen so many commercials for lately? It looks to me like these patents invalidate the whole product. Then again its not like M$ doesn't have the bucks to challenge them.
What is to prevent users of this thing to just take the watch off? Say they don't want people to know they watch the playboy channel every night from 9-12. Whats to stop them from just removing the watch and leaving it in another room? Or what happens if a person just doesn't wear the watch some days? Doesn't seem that much more accurate to me.
It only took me 1 minute of reading the about page to discover that the author

Plans on developing a Linux port very soon

Actually, you have Communism all wrong. Communism, as defined by Marx, describes a socienty in which NO ONE, including a central government, owns anything. In a true communist socienty there would be no central government at all. The society you are describing is closer to Stalinism, a bastardization of Communism.

It may be news to you, but, having been a Canadian my whole life, it isn't news to me.
Apparantly, you can replace the www in the URL with archive for any NYT story and it will Just Work.

So bugger off.

And why is the govenment only focusing on Sony then? Or is the XBox not going to support DVD anymore, as it was originally spec'ed to do?
I think you've watched antitrust a fe wtoo many times there....
Me and a friend of mine did the exact same thing at our university.

I tried the same thing with the User-Agent setting in Konqueror and it worked as well. I don't understand why mozilla doesn't have such a feature.

Read the article. When prompted about the GPL violation, the Sony emplyee basically said "Go ahead, try to sue us.."
Doesn't sound like they're giving it up to me
