It looks like they are working to make it conform better to the single window gnome "desktop" that most people absolutely hate. I like gimp. I especially like how I can have the image full screen on one monitor and the tools on another. I hope there is a user preference option available to break it back up like IMHO it should be. MDI in art/music applications completely sucks. This, in my experience, is why artists preferred BeOS and cried LOUDLY when they had to switch back to either OS/9 or Windows.
Oh duh. How embarrassing. The parent was talking about not wanting to run ethernet cable. Then a post about something that relies on ethernet cable made me think of something like what he was talking about but didn't need ethernet cable. I just assumed he was talking about what I thought he was thinking. Assumption made an ass out of me again.:( My bad.
Sorry. I don't understand the difference. Do you have links to the RFC's showing the difference between what I linked to and what you linked to please. I thought they were both 802.3
The bean counters look at the situation and how much they're paying IT - and see that everything is working fine. What are we paying these folks for? Lay them off to save money.
It sucks to be the "Maytag man". I don't understand why it is so hard to convince people the success of NT in organizations over Unix was due to the fact Unix didn't need constant attention but talented (more expensive) administration. When they are paying a Unix administrator $150k and see him/her sitting on their ass 90% of the time they decide to keep the "hard working" $65k person on staff because they are constantly doing "technology stuff". Oh. And the 65k person knows Excel short cuts.
Cheap high-speed interconnects, better electrical efficiency, and ongoing miniaturization means you can build a supercomputer in your closet and become a local service provider.
Not to rain on your parade but... Your forgetting that the quality of connectivity for 3rd level ISPs is shit in order to kill off the small guy. Also. The cost of mandatory content filtering ISP's are about to have to implement at their own expense will not be cheap.
So instead of setting up Postfix email servers with IMAP (to get rid of your "latency") and OpenVPN (to simplify VPN access) your paying a company to provide Postfix email proxy+cache? That is actually brilliant. You can say Exchange instead of Email so the suits are comfortable and have multiple directions to point the finger when something goes down.
When there is an economic downturn it is due to the fact your current process of getting money is no longer viable. In order to change to a viable process of getting money you must start by looking for a new process. In the world of technology this requires researching technology.
Just because the U.S. is a republic does not mean it is not a democracy. Democracy/republic are not mutually exclusive.
The U.S. is a democracy/republic hybrid. Jefferson realized the two governments had equal abilities to do bad and good. A democracy gives voice to all of the people but only the majority are heard. A republic is supposed to put the power in the hands of the best and brightest but when those seated are morons it goes to shit. Jefferson writes about how he decided to pin the two against each other to balance each other out in the Federalist Papers. If the republic is morons the majority will notice and get rid of them. If the majority is full of idiots the few will hold them back.
If you take Jefferson's idea and apply it to economics you will find another balance. A capitalism economy rewards the best and brightest until wealth accumulates to a few people then transfers to being no more than a feudal system. A socialist economy doesn't reward any one individual over any other. This leads to stagnation and the loss of the best and brightest in sea of doing what needs to be done. When you pin the two against each other you get a balance.
Johny, probably the son of somebody in the hate group AFA, was upset because the teacher didn't agree with his mommy and daddy so tax payers had to throw a bunch of money away in courts to make Johny feel good? Are spoiled evangelical kids so important we have to pay for their tantrums?
Such people are a very small proportion of potential buyers...
It sounds to me like "such people" are definitely NOT potential buyers. However. I agree with you totally regarding Ubistupids opinion on people who are angered by DRM. That being they see them as a small minority. They have that belief because they have convinced themselves that the minority are the ones pirating the game because they want it but do not want to pay for it. In all reality, that minority and a significant number of general gamers don't give a toss about the game. If it wasn't available as a crack they would never play it. They certainly would not pay for it. Also. Increasing the DRM increases the chances of it getting cracked. The reason for this is that DRM pisses off that minority. That minority is the majority of the people that are capable of cracking their DRM. Thus out of spite, that majority will happily crack and post the game leading more and more general gamers to not give a toss about games until a crack is available.
Proper gesture code goes: If Detect_touch Do Observe_touch Until ! Detect_touch. If Observe_touch = rotation * 3 do CTRL+F
It doesn't have to be 3 properly drawn circles. I agree with you that a touchpad gesture is horrible. Singly because it has sense areas, "the scroll area". Sense areas are great. Gestures can be great. Putting them together, sucks. That is one of the reasons scrolling (rolling) is done in code on phones.
Apple has surely already patented that gesture. If not Apple, then HP picked it up when they bought Palm. If it is neither you better hurry. Microsoft is filing as I type.
iPads don't have a keyboard so it would be the wrong way to go, IMHO. They should use gestures. Then todays kids will grow up and say, "why doesn't anyone know that 3 consecutive circles means your searching for something?"
I use it all of the time. I write code to make sure it will work then paste it into the larger application I'm working on. CTRL+A then middle click where I want to insert it.

I thought I said it was brilliant. When forced to use Exchange as an SMTP server it isn't a bad thing to set up a way to dodge the bullets.
Back then they would have used Lotus123. Excel was a cheap knock off.

Sadly PoE is still horribly slow when encrypted and horribly insecure when not.

In all reality it isn't. In a U.S. court of Law, however, it is.
