While the initial goal of the project is to work with governments, Negroponte said MIT is considering licensing the design or giving it to a third-party company to build commercial versions of the PC. "Those might be available for $200, and $20 or $30 will come back to us to make the kids' laptops. We're still working on that," he said.
So a little optimism isn't entirely unjustified:-)
Read about Qt 4 here. If Trolltech are to be believed, we are getting more features and better performance. It's not a case of the two being mutually exclusive.
Furthermore, I saw my hairstyle in a cave-painting the other week. I think this proves beyond all possible doubt the existence of closed timelike curves in our universe.
Nice examples. I had a look at the page source for each and it's exactly the same technique: the content of both web pages is present in both HTML documents, with a script at the end which selects which data to display depending on which vector is at the start of the document. So, really, this thing with good.bin and evil.bin is no new breakthrough at all. It's just a more sensationalist way of making the same point.
Sorry to be pedantic, but in your example the bold tags do seem to have closers - look again at your post! The bold tag before "Posted" is closed after "2005", the bold tag before "just-" is closed after "-stampede".
Thanks for the links. I took a look at them - I couldn't see anything written there that indicated that the remote intruder could gain admin rights (as opposed to executing code as the user running IE). That's what I was really interested in.
Please educate me on this one (I don't really keep up with IE issues): have there been any recent (say, since SP2) critical security holes in IE6 that would allow an intruder to gain admin rights on a Windows machine, if the owner is running IE6 as a non-priviledged user? I was just wondering, not arguing with you.
The GP's point still stands though - especially considering that Mac-using Symantec customers are probably outnumbered quite heavily by the Windows-using ones.
The name "wakamaru" derives from the childhood nickname of Minamoto Yoshitsune, a twelfth-century Japanese Samurai who engineered military victories that enabled his brother Yoritomo to gain control of Japan. The name is associated with "growth" and "development," the company says
Is it just me though, or does the robot comprehensively fail the "looking remotely masculine despite having a masculine name" test?
Talks with other companies have proved successful in the past, when the RIAA reached a settlement with Israel-based iMesh Ltd. for $4.1 million in July 2004. The Israeli company agreed to migrate to a service that would protect copyrights.
It's not just money they're after, it's complience.

I totally misread GP post... I'll go hide in a corner now.
If you re-read your quote it says "refurbish" rather than "manufacture"... still impressive though.
The linked article also states:

One full stomach today is one full toilet tomorrow. A laptop lasts considerably longer.
that is #*&king brilliant!! cheers :-)
Jeez, did you use this to compose that post?
Erm... you mean this? Or did I miss your point? Anyway, I'm looking forward to GoogleMilkyWay.

Erm, aren't they changing to Qt 4? Which, from a review I read in a mag just yesterday, promises to be quite a major upgrade from the Qt 3.x line.
I think that would be Napolean rather than Julius Caesar... but yes still thanks to the (French) military.

This is problably the lamest article to date
You're telling me. Favourite vacuous comment from TFA: "everything has its roots somewhere." Well, stop the press!

Or, double the bit count?

Although Al did once walk through a wall to enter an Egyptian tomb, I think...
What have they done to you, Clippy?
Perhaps Microsoft have figured out a way to patronize users on a subtler level ("task-oriented paradigm") ...
What you say is perfectly true - but surely the example of pirates "causing" global warming would have been more fitting here? :-)

I'm a fairly technical user
You certainly have mastered the cut & paste operations.... see here.
Although "coincidentally" Hallowe'en occurs at the same time as the Samhain festival (which was pre-Christian).
