only signed applications can access certain APIs without needing to prompt the user
And there in lies the problem... prompting the user. Social Engineering works because people don't know what they are doing and because people are gullible. "Press ok to update your phone for roaming" or "Press ok to update firmware on your phone" along with a little note of why it is needed and end it with this is a free text and people will be pushing ok all day long.
I don't know what Nintendo was thinking, but Wii??? I feel like I'm back in french class. People are going to see and pronounce it 'why' and not 'wee', especially here in the States because of how our vowels are pronounced. I'll still buy, but nobody will know I own one. How could I admit to owning wee???
At this point it is even a little premature to believe that the PS3 will be coming out in November. The true test of that will be what we see at E3. Right now they don't even have a working compiler that works well with the Cell processor and sometimes are having to go to assembly. Talk about dev time... ouch! The more I find out about Blu-Ray, the more I think Sony may have bitten of more than they can chew. As one poster has already compaired Blu-Ray to the proprioritary format of UMD, it may end up having a similar fate like DVD-RAM did, if it can even get of the ground. Besides, anything most of Hollywood supports, i.e. MPAA, RIAA, is usually not the best thing out there. So I am slanted, this is/.
Although people here are going to label you flamebait, I agree with you. Perhaps I would say things a little stronger that if a man cannot control his urges then perhaps he should be treated like an animal. Self-control is quality lacking in many people today and it sad to see people so weak. They will blame everybody but themselves instead of owning to their failure and becoming strong. I guess you need weak people or who else to going to pick up my trash and take 20 years to pave a road. Not everyone can be a leader.
What does this mean for Microsoft and its reputation as a company that can eventually ship software? -This is nothing new in software development. Very rarely does something come out exactly when first predicted. Are we suggesting a different standard for a company based on bias?
What will this mean for office managers who have to plan upgrades and budgets?
-Nothing out of the ordinary here. You have some companies that buy the latest as soon as it comes out, but most do some research to see how it will tie in with current apps before purchase. Besides, that gives companies who do make plugins even longer to verify they will work properly. A bonus and not a negative.
Will this make anyone look at OpenOffice.org?
-I fail to see how Office 2007 not coming out until 2007 will make a corporation consider OpenOffice, thus the non sequitur remark in the subject. What really drives Office is Excel and Powerpoint to a lesser degree. Does OpenOffice support Hyperion plugins? Last I checked, no. This is what will keep OpenOffice from gaining more ground in the mid to large corporations. If it can gain various plugin support maybe. Office got large and in charge because of an OS it was attached to. Also, Visual Basic is easier to program in versus C or C++. If you can spend a quarter of the time and make the same amount or more money because you have a larger base; well, what are most people going to pick?
Dude, your tag is fucked up, "you satanic messages" should be "you hear satanic messages". Gosh, no wonder why you can't get Linux installed on your box, your syntax is all messed up. That's what happen when you abuse Windows too much. I was going to do the whole egg thing but, screw it.
I hope EA can pull it off. I remember when they were a young company and had some innovation. Now I pun there motto to "Crap! It's in the game." They have become the masters of cookie cutting. Although the game idea does seem to bear some resemblance to Seaman that Sega put out back in the day. let's see if they cann make a game with no cookie cutters included.
'Blame Canada' from Southpark seems appropiate here; because if their ludicrous government screws it up for everybody else (When the Supreme Court says we like what thier doing there over in Europe eventhough it goes against the Constitution), it will be WAR!!!
When you list it as "Burnt Ass Copy of Linux" yeah, they're going to pull it. People sell burnt copies of stuff all the time on Ebay. They explain it in the body what it is and how it is a backup and should only be used as such. Looks like you forgot to eat your Wheaties.
I have to agree with Ratboy, it's all about the keys. It doesn't really matter HDCP whatever, what is important is the keys. If the hardware is not trusted and doesn't have the key, IT IS USELESS. You can buy this card and that card, but you are jumping the gun until how the keys are going to be handled and who is going to be trusted comes out. Nvidia has the same supported BS but it doesn't matter. Right on Ratboy.
Wow. How to reply to such anger. Bringing up Vietnam was a bad idea since it is known China was behind the uprising in both Vietnam and Korea. Lets not talk about what has been going on in Tibet either. I better not talk about Inner Mongolia too. Definitely should leave out what has happened to various people of different religions.
America is not perfect and most citizens know that. As for racism, that's a human condition. Should we talk about Japanese-Chinese relations. The movie Memoirs of a Geisha brought out alot of racist attitudes in China, demeaning Zhang Ziyi and calling Ken Watanabe and Japanese dog.
People's nationalism usually blinds them to the evils happening in their own country, American, Chinese, and everywhere alike.
It is easy to criticize someone when you are sitting behind your keyboard all safe and compfy. We can talk about what we would do and how we would handle it, but truly what would you do in that situation. As a company you are bound by the laws of the country you do business in, there is no diplomatic immunity. If you are faced with imprisonment and possibly torture if you don't comply, just how big is your bravdo then. The fact is in Nazi Germany there were few who stood up and most lost their life. So I ask you, are you willing to die for someone else's freedom? It is one thing to die for your own, but for someone else, very few have done so.
Simply put... 1st law- matter and energy are neither created nor destroyed. 2nd law has to do with work, better known as entropy, that things go from order to disorder. Evolution as it has become, (do not confuse micro-evolution with macro-evolution) states that lower, simpler, lifeforms have some how formed into higher, complex, lifeforms. This is called macro-evolution, which is not able to be tested and reproduced. Many people confuse micro-evolution with macro-evolution and think that if one is true both are. This is however a serious lap in logic. Minor adaptations in a species does not a new species make. You have to have genetic differences on a larger scale. First you start with thousands of random proteins that some how become a complex bonding called DNA. That is the first issue that from disorder came order and not just order, but extremely complex order. Next you have single celled organisms; amoebas, bacteria, protozoan; deciding to stop acting alone and work together to form a complex multicelled organism. There has yet to be proof of these first two items. This is why evolution is bad science
Darwin's only degree was in theology. He's definitely not a scientist. In fact us scientist are placing our theory in the hands of a man that on his death bed said evolution is a farse, he made it up because he was mad at God. We need a better theory because a non-scientist made it up ignoring the laws of thermo-dynamics. It is time we used our scientific reasoning and stop relying on a man that was upset at God.
Yeah... so the title has nothing to do woth what I am about to write, but it does get your attention... anyways.
Only $380 million, man I wish I could make that much when I play connect the dots. I mean really, those people should be applaudded for trying to save us grief. I know fan boys are like "that was one of the best ones," but honestly outside of the FX, it sort of of blew metachloriene chunks. Who uses the tallents of James Earl Jones to yell 'NOOOOOOO!' Man, I am glad I saw it for free the first time. It only sucked more in the digital theatre I saw it in. All the sucking was even more defined. Haden sucked more precisely and the appalling attempt to make Yoda speak always speak verb- noun just blew. I better stop now. I am already begining to feel the flame mod. What can I say, Lucas has duh-duhda momment.
Go on and mod me down, I didn't want that karma anyway.
It has to do with understanding intricacies and using aplied knowledge. The human genome and cloning are much more complicated a matter than building a space elevator. There are plenty of ideas and possible ways to do about it. To just not try is ludacris... we have until 2020, fifteen years away. I am sure we can make it work. It is time for people tp start being positive Pete's instead of negative Nancy's.
It is a good thing JFK is not alive to read all the nay sayers here. It took less than ten years from JFK's annoucement and landing a man on the moon. At the time he made his annoucement to put a man on the moon, it was all theoretical. Yes they had rockets, but having rockets and carrying a man to the moon are two different things. They used determination and research to put them there and that is what is needed now.
We have had a lot of advancements in technology and materials since the 60's, this should not be as difficult as the first time around. I am concerned with NASA's proposal and some of the outdated tech they plan on using. If we can clone a sheep, I'm sure we can build a space elevator. If the gentleman's estimates are off by a factor of five(5 x $10 billion=$50 billion), that is still half. The research itself will payoff in new materials and processes. The future is now if you have the vision to see it.
Yes, yes , your funny. I like Linux too. One of the reason's there is not as many security issues is that every script kiddie and mal-hacker is not out there trying to break Linux. Imagine how many security holes could be closed if half the people that always try to break Windows platforms focused on Linux. We would have an even more secure platform that the industry would have a hard time competeing with.
Keep the flames away. The point I am bringing out is that the Windows platforms have become more secure because of the continued scrutiny. Gates may put out a flawed product, but then everybody helps him fix it ; )
Hate to break it to you but Einstein was Jewish and a supporter of the Zion movement, which was instrumental in Israel becoming a state again after WWII. You haven't read much of Einstein's work outside of the science realm I would wager.

Ah man... I need a stronger prescription on my glasses. Half way through reading these posts, everything got blurry.

I finally have proof that if users turn off their PC's I will have less problems to fix and get more done.

What... Zonk was wrong. Yeah, eat that!!! No, I really do like Zonk... sort of.
Disclaimer: The fact Nintendo released that they would not change the design does not give Zonk an excuse.
