So couldn't they include the functionality in EFI CSM to enable some compatibility for Open BIOS calls, but not the functionality for... Award, Phoenix, etc.?
It sounds to me like they'd have to go through a lot of effort to make the compatibility available, and while they said they wouldn't go to lengths to make it incompatible, they never said, nor would any expect them to go to extra lengths?
It's otional. The system producer has the ability to add support for compatibility. Seeing as how there's nothing for Apple to be backwards compatible with on the Intel Arch., it's doubtfull they added that feature.
I do not think this word means what you think it means...
But...at least you were consistant in its misuse.

Got the 1GB Titanium.
Broke it 2 weeks after I got it. Had it plugged in and opened a drawer on the ddesk. Apparently the necklace part got caught on the edge of the drawer and basically pulled the thing in two along the length of it.
I now have a 1GB titanium cruzer held together by tape. (If I didn't fear the static, I'd use duct-tape to make it that much cooler, but...)
if GIMP were a commercial product I have no doubt that it would be every bit as sucessful as the other Photoshop competitors out their
No doubt. It would then also have marketing to back it up and a can guarantee, any marketing department worth it's salt would force a name-change, or at the very least find some gimmiky way to make "GIMP" and "Editing an Image" as interchangeable in everyday language as "google" and "search".
I'm not saying lack of features has nothing to do with it, but people can be sold anything if it's placed properly. GIMP can't be sold, even though it's free.
Name isn't everything, but it's a BIG part of it without a marketing department plastering the name and it's associations everywhere.
Marketing. You can name it whatever the hell you want, but if it isn't descriptive of what it does, you better have a marketing department, or no-one will give 2 shits about it.
Look. People associate Acrobat with PDF because they see it...*everywhere*.
Where are people going to see anything about the GIMP that associates it with image editing unless they actively go searching for it?
Look, car companies have *gasp* Commercials seen by millions (billions?) to get their names and models associated with the vehicles in question.
What does GIMP have?
You? The geek next-door? The guy in Comp-Sci that pushes up his glasses and snorts in laughter every time a girl talks to him? Yeah...that'll associate it with graphics desgin software.
That'll sell it. (By which I mean get people to use it)
With this move, regardless of it's actual impact on pirating via BitTorrent, he is vastly increasing his chances of successfully slamming down any charge of intent. He is showing that his intended use of the network is not piracy, and that steps can be taken by tracker owners/aggregators to limit the use of this app to legitimate uses.
This is all to protect himself from future lawsuits. It will have no effect on other bittorrent search sites.
He done good....and did it without harming any users, legit or not.
Just because RIAA tried to shut them down they must be illegal?
Or is it the.ru DNS?
Did you bother looking it up?
"TNW: How do you respond to questions about artist royalties, when you charge so little per song and per album?
Mamotin: We pay all royalties according to our license, which we have obtained from ROMS. These royalties allow us to keep our prices at their current level."

Opera has a long way to go *if* it wants to have decent, easy to use, ad-blocking abilities. Not, the emphasis on "if".
It's very likely, since their livelyhood pretty much depended on ads for quite some time that this is simply not something they are willing to do.

He's not helping the other sites. He's protecting himself. I'm sure he probably couldn't care less about the 'other' sites.
If they want that same protection, they can go the same route and filter.

Thank you for ruining my lunch. Coke shot form the nose and mixed with Beef Stroganoff is just not at all pleasant-looking.
My thoughts exactly.
That's it. The RIAA is gonna take a chapter from the BSA and sue your ass for depriving them of your income.

Every time I try to type that address into my address bar, my computer gets hosed.
Firts I get a pop-up, and since I don't want to interact with pop-ups and the start-bar is gone, I try typing it again, and then it reboots.
What am I doing wrong?
Please...help!
