So, you think people should be convicted for opening a door? or maybe just installing a door?
If there wasn't a door the bank robber couldn't get away! or in for that matter.
We can't convict people for setting up a web-site or hosting torrentfiles (linking to illegal AND legal content). The persons hosting TPB are not the one committing the crime.
It would be more like convicting someone who owns the paper where an advert for the door above (which was used in the bank-robbery). Insane.
Exactly, so you've just clarified one of the arguments _against_ IE. It causes other companies to develop specifically for IE something that could have been done just as good in a more "open" way.
Your case is _not_ an argument to keep IE integrated into Windows, just the opposite.
Do you really beleieve that?? I live i Sweden (2.76 deaths/1,000 live births according to some statistics) and I absolutely promise you we DO try to save our infants at every cost and not just record them as "miscarriages" and "stillbirths". The trend continues even after the first year. 8 children of 1000 in the US won't live to their 5th birhday, 3 in Sweden, this is one area where our obsessive "security above everything", "no visits from anyone else but the immediate family", then "always wear a helmet", "don't swim until 1 hour after eating", "use seatbelts" etc etc attitude actually has some effects. (Don't know if it's worth it, sometimes you want to live dangerously and cross the street without looking three times, but we do live longer lifes)
So which "most countries" are you referring to? In which countries don't the parents and doctors want to save the infants?
20 years ago Sweden had a child mortality rate of 6.9 but we have managed to get it down significantly since then. Advanced medical care actually actually have very little effect on child mortality, instead it's the _basic_ healtcare (for all, cause if you leave out 5% of the popuplation, the infant mortality may become 50/1000 there screwing up your statistics) which is most effective. That's why Cuba manage to compete with US on this statistic.
In summation: you're wrong, it's not an "urban legend" and it boggles the mind how you can beleive your country is the only one trying to keep your newborn alive.
(and low infant mortality = good. low means less dead since it's measured as dead/not dead 6 dead out of 1000 which Cuba and US have is actually quite "ok" compared with Angola (192) but maybe they're just trying to hard over there)
The problem is when the customer is being unreasonable, the "support" (or more likely sales) just agrees to everything they say and "sure, we'll fix it" because they don't a) know any better b) they wan't to sell, not take the conflict c) they're stupid and just passes this backward "fix this, NOW!"
Then you're going to have a bigger problem! It's the same thing in any kind of relationship, just bowing and scraping and always saying "it's my fault" is going to cause bigger problems in the future than just saying "nope, we're not gonna fix that. or "sure, well fix it, but not now, you'll get your patch when it's tested properly, in the meantime, do this instead"
They algorithms for fetching stuff seems very much like the problems processor engineers have to face when developing a processor. The goal is to get something from memory (warehouse) as quickly as possible.
L1 cache (the box directly in front of the worker) should be used as best as possible. Prefill orders not received yet with this (box of chocholates always present on Valentine's day) L2 cache is the isle closet the the workers, have a dedicated (fast) robot always waiting here. L3 (or memory) is the warehouse.
Memory (or disk) is the rest of the world.
Anyway, I don't beleive the long wait-time for the customer is the time it takes for the worker to actually pack the stuff, so this isn't a way for us to get stuff faster it's just a way to get more efficient "work" done per labour unit "employee"
Softgrid is hardly "new" and it's something Microsoft bought. I've seen it and used it on Citrix. Basically it maske program packages so you can run multiple versions for example of a application at the same time and deploy them easily.
If Windows was any good, without that stupid registry and dll-files Softgrid would be unessasary. If you would just put an application in one place and run it from there, it would be unesseary to vitulize the applications.
One funny thing, you can virtualize Firefox and run multiple versions of it, but you can't virtulize IE because it's tied to hard into the OS... so Microsoft can still learn some things about writing good Windows programs from the opensource community;)
Why is it that the American view of history includes their invention of everything in the modern world. Try some research, you may be surprised...
The motor car was a German invention, as was the engine to drive it. Going furter back, we see that the steam engine, in itself capable of replacing the horstand carriage, was a British creation.

Hello Apple, this is 2007 not 2003 or something. Surfing the web (and Google maps!) is gonna be painfully sloooooow.... (unless I'm mistaken? is it REALLY not 3G/UMTS????)
Most of the things I already have on my SonyEricsson or will have cheaper soon and not in a soap-bar-like exterior.
But... maybe it will sell in a third-world-country like the US is when it comes to cellular phones...
Just my opinion, sorry if it offends Apple-zealots.
Well, IBM and Bull is CURRENTLY shipping quad core power5 machines and before we see the Apple make the jump for vaporware to 8-core in reality we could continue using the 64-core IBM machines, which has been in existence for what? 3-4 years?
Well, considering there were quad-core power5 chips long before there were quad-core core2duo, this is hardly surprising.
But, as you say, it's not a PPC chip. Cell is and it's got 8 cores?
Of course it will come with quad core (or more). Power4 was the first chip with dual core. Power5 has quad core now and had it before Intel did. Why shouldn't Power6 come with at least Quadcore chips? Remember these are Server-chips, servers = lots of cores
A summary of some ones work is not illegal. That would be crazy... "I just saw this movie about a guy who lived in a world that wasn't real and then he woke up as a... battery? Really strange."
And the next thing you know you're kidnapped, blindfolded and shipped to Guantanamo...
I loaded the video and tried typing (using t9 on a Nokia phone) and in Swedish "jag spårade just en massa pengar på min bil för säkring" in almost exactly the same time they did. Ok, may send a lot of SMS but I'm NOT the fastest by far I imagine so I'm sure someone should be able to beat them (and spelling correctly) if they have sufficent training and a phone with larger keys...
Appenrently they have the right break in and look through other peoples stuff if they think there are some "pirated" things there.
What happens if I don't want them looking through my private mail/pictures/documents?
They will not stop this stupid behavior unless we hit them where it really hurts, their wallets.
So, don't buy another CD, don't see another film, dont rent another DVD and don't buy any programs from the companys sponsoring "Antipiratbyrån" until they stop this foolishness!
So you really think "evolution" should be that a cat "evolves" into a dog?
Evolution is a fluke and evolution is adaption within a species.
Definitions is nice, some people define cats or cows as humans.
If I or some descendant of me evolved stuff to help me better cope with the world at some point I could define people having these "adaptations" as a new species. Homo Slashdotties for example and voila, you have evolution.
Most things doesn't live short enough time for us to notice. But for example bacteria will get immunity the pencillin after a while -> adaptiation yes! -> evolution yes! -> new species? maybe if we think them different enough

Maybe we NEED to survive. The only way to do that in the long run is to go into space.
Hopefully more people can think further ahead than you.

for obvious reasons :D

Nice "fix" though, then people can keep adding memory and think it helps
The problem is when the customer is being unreasonable, the "support" (or more likely sales) just agrees to everything they say and "sure, we'll fix it" because they don't a) know any better b) they wan't to sell, not take the conflict c) they're stupid and just passes this backward "fix this, NOW!"

No MMS == no pictures of boobs == no deal for Apple
it's at least 10 times more expensive than other phones and not as good in any way except as an Ipod (i don't want an ipod)
Apple HAD to do this because mp3-enabled phones were going to kill the ipod sooner or later, so they did. Desperate move.

I think it does SMS (barely, dreadfully slow I guess with no "real" buttons) but not MMS and video calls.
