IE - if your PC has been compromised, maybe it is doing so via a small hidden daemon that hides itself by making unauthorized calls to the kernel at specific addresses. By patching the kernel, those addresses now do something else. SO when the exploit app mucks with them in the kernel, your machine locks up.
Just 100% theory but I have been in this industry way too long now to dismiss anything as impossible.
One might argue that the fact that the human species wastes so much money (and as a consequence, resources) on fulfilling carnal desires rather than advancing it's civilization, points out that we do not collectively really represent a very high standard of intelligence.
Most of the different HDMI versions are just implementations in software, not hardware. That is why all it takes to make the PS3 capable of 3D is a software upgrade.
When you see an "HDMI 1.3" cable, it is likely 100% identical to a 1.1 cable - the only difference is in the tolerance requirements of the conductors.
I don't know why people worry about this kind of thing being made law. Why am I not worried? Think about it.
Who are the people who use planes all the time? Business people, government workers.
And who are the people who need to use their laptops on all those plane trips? Business people, government workers.
And who are the people in real control of all of the laws in the country? That's right, the wealthy business people, the lawmaking government workers.
In 2010+, No law or regulation is ever going to happen that makes air travel require you to not have a working computer. It is just not realistic given the players involved.
The law should really think twice about what it is doing, because it is essentially diluting what it means to be a sex offender.
As recent as 10 years ago, when the state said someone was a convicted sex offender, I immediately assumed they had raped a child or adult, or something else simmilar, and thus feared and was disgusted by them. Nowadays? I basically have to go through all this research to figure out if they actually did anything bad! How old were they/ how old was the other person involve,d if any? Was anyone harmed? etc etc.
At this rate there will be so many sex offenders gone through the system in 10 years that it will be viewed as a case of teenage shoplifting is! I don't see how that is good for anyone.
If I add up the flyers, coupons, direct marketing, and other BS that hits my mailbox (including inside the statement envelopes), and compare it to the actual bills or statements I receive, by weight, I am pretty sure 95% of my snail mail is spam too.
You realize don't you that Google Wave is both open source AND open protocol?
It is federated like Jabber, anyone who wants to can download the wave source code and run their own wave server. And because it is federated, your server is not a walled garden - you can still join waves hosted on OTHER servers.
Seems far superior to this Etherpad in every sense of the word.
When you buy a new PC or laptop for your company - guess which version of office comes on it - the latest.
Guess if it is cheaper or more expensive to purchase one with the old version - more expensive. And whi is going to approve to pay more for something older?
So, as new machines come into *ANY* company, no matter *WHO gets them, they have the newest versions of Windows and Office, and this is what makes the problems. In many companies, I imagine it is the CEOs and marketing who get the newest machines first - which then leads to your flawed theory. (In the company I work for, engineering gets the newest machines first, as we actually need the horsepower).
Craigslist is big in large markets, but in small markets, no one uses it. Kijiji rules the roost in small markets.
IE in my homedown, of about 100,000 people, there are less than 200 posts right now in craigslist ForSale section.
Kijiji has over 24,000.
It is because of the classic dillema that keeps users on Craigslist (despite it being a steamping pile of crap), and keeps people on eBay (despite them charging a fortune). People searching need a critical mass of people selling, and people selling need a critical mass of people searching. It is a self-renforcing monopoloy that is a tough nut to crack.
Craigslist has always been unpopular in small markets, that is where Kijiji got its foothold.
Google already licenses the AP feeds. Click any AP story and you go to the Google-hosted AP text.
This is why this scheme is NEVER going to work. Google already licenses AP, which creates 75% of the content in all these papers anyway. Also there are many major international players, like the NPR and BBC and CBC, that will never opt out of Google, as they are not-for-profits in the first place.
The end result is everyone will get their local news from NPR/CBC/BBC, and all these newspapers will just go under FASTER.
Either it is because you are a junior, or you make consumer-level software.
Once you get to be mid level you will start getting requests like this from management sometimes:
"Hey we are on site at potential customer X that is evaluating us, and feature Y (some critical product defining feature recently released) is not working in their environment because they have Z (a corner case never accounted for). This is a (insert V hundred thousand or larger dollar value) deal and we need this fix in before end of day (which is in 3 hours) - can you look into it?"
Stuff like this happens at any private software company who is in the business of selling software to other companies. Of course if you don't make the deadline it is not like anything bad happens to you (hopefully), but MAKING the deadlines and winning the deal sure makes you look good when the next annual review comes along.
Old games like this run fine inside a VMWare VM with DirectX support.
Install the VM, install Windows in it, set the Vm resolution to whatever the size is you want (you can set a Vm res to ANYTHING by resizing the window), then launch the game in "full screen" on the VM.
Pretty much every new feature in Windows 7 and Vista was in KDE for at least a year prior. Things like the previews when you mouse over the taskbar in Windows 7, all the Aero FX in Vista/7, etc. That all is stolen from KDE. I can't think of anything KDE took from Vista or Windows 7.
Or is Cuban getting crazier and crazier with each passing year?
I used to have huge respect for him, but everything he says in public nowadays makes him look like a moron. This comment included. Not to mention there is no reason mentioned why Cuban wants to kill Google in the first place, I don't see how they compete with any of his businesses.
From the clips on youtube linked in the article, it says they leave the milky way - that would be a huge departure from the current canon, in which they have never left he galazy under their own power, in any series or movie.
If you mean being one of the most successful (and more importantly profitable) console in the past 10 years and current leader of it's console generation by a near FACTOR OF TWO, then yeah, I bet Microsoft hopes it does half that well.
In fact if it did half that well they would finally maybe start catching up with Nintendo's market share.
I don't think 360 fanboys have any idea how much dominance the Wii has in the marketplace.
Put it this way
- Nintendo sells the same amount Wii consoles every month than ALL OTHER HOME CONSOLES COMBINED - that includes the 360, the PS3, the PS2.
- This trend has been the same for pretty much the lifetime of the console, which means the Wii has sold over 20 MILLION more units than the 360.
- Unlike Microsoft, which still loses money on each 360 sale, Nintendo makes $6-$7 on each Wii sold, before anyone buys a single game.
Given all this and the massive profits the Wii continues to give to Nintendo, do you think they really care about Natal or other "Wii killers" ? They could stop selling consoles altogether and it would still take their competition two years to reach their market penetration, let alone profits. It's no different than Palm and Motorola and every other "iPhone killer" - it is totally irrelevant since the competition has such an overly dominant position in the marketplace, even if a superior competitor comes along, by the time it has reached any kind of penetration the dominant player can just squash them with something newer and better, because they have so much breathing room in the market to do so.

Sony and Blu-Ray are behind HDMI, as is every other media company around. Any TV that does not support HDMI will have no market share.

I have Adblock and a ton of other extensions working just fine in Chrome. Just use the testing / developer streams which have plugin support.

T-Mobile and ATT operate on different 3G frequencies. Supporting all frequencies would be prohibitively expensive.
This article is only 10 minutes old, and I do not see any of the aforementioned results clicking that link.
The only results I get about "Excersize bike clearance" are all about how Target is spamming search engines! Interesting...
There isn't a link to target in the first 50 results.

I have Vonage service and have an alarm system with a modem and it works fine. Vonage in fact supports up to 56K modems AFAIK.

No one will pay for news online. Give it up.
I honestly don't understand why Microsoft continues to dump millions of dollars of development into a product that makes them no money.
If they want to continue IE, then why not just ditch Trident and base it off Webkit like everyone else?
