I think this is somewhat related to the hardware as well. I have an older DVD player that lets me hit "skip" through anything whereas on my friends it always says "This action is not allowed..."
I can't always hit 'Menu', but I have yet to find a DVD (and I own literally hundreds) that I have not been able to skip and fast forward through any part.
Seeing as I believe the point is that you are currently using a "Web Browser" to access it, having a web browser in the web-browser-accessed OS would seem somewhat redundant.
I don't understand one of the main statements in the article.
The article says that "Competition would be limited to a few key providers with the OpenDocument format" Well, isn't using Microsoft Office limiting them to just ONE provider.
Yea, thats your opinion.
I have a Treo and I use the various advanced functions of it everyday, well except the camera, stupid vga camera. The address book, alarms, contacts, mobile e-mail, fairly advanced graphing and calculatory functions, a multitude of clock and timer functions, memos, encrypted memos, having important data with me on the go, editing and reviewing documents, etc.
Ill admit, I don't use the camera or music playing capabilities of it, but everything else allows me to stay ahead of problems in my business.
Well I have a DS and personally find it more uncomfortable than the SP to play with for any extended period of time. It feels like (to me) that you are holding a box weighted towards the top.
I am not sure why the the old screen was considered so bad.
I could play it in pitch black and it was plenty bright enough, and I could it play in full flourescent, candescent (spelling on two?) and sunlight without any issues.
Ok, well, your arrogant superiority complex aside, I have nothing against reading a book, but if Im going to look something AFTER THE FUGGIN FACT I think it might be useful to be able to do a digital search on it. We don't all have the free time to re-read everything just to find a single point.
I was thinking about this. Do you need to physically turn around 360 degrees to do this in a game?
If not, and it is scaled, is there anything to bring it to a neutral position. You move so far and turn 360 degrees around, but you are now virtually in the same spot but your arm/hand/whatever is now off to the side or wherever, not in the same spot.
I was thinking, for FPS you look by moving remote thingy. Well, how would you do a 360 degree look around. Wouldn't that require you physically turning around yourself.
Even if its scaled, how would you get the cursor back to a neutral position. Like say if you move to the right a little bit, you do a 360, but you are now virtually where you started but your arm/hand/etc is off to the right.
Only new feature I care about

The only real feature I want to see is 'Paste Unformatted Text' by default. I can't stress how annoying it is that word keeps the friggin format of the copied text when I try to paste.
There may be a way to do this already, if so please I seek your advice. (And yes I know you can go Paste Special -> Unformatted text, but I want it by default when I hit Ctrl-V). Oh if you know how to do this in OpenOffice too I would appreciate that as well.
I would tend to agree.
Most of the time the telemarketers that are trying to sell me something could pretty much care less if I say no thanks and hang up. But I've had charity telemarketers yell at me and sometimes at least imply or even outright say (among other things) that I am the spawn of satan for not giving them money.
Yea it is, when the ink goes out on my parent's printer I always get a call asking what one they should get next. The printer usually costs them around 30-50 dollars and comes with ink whereas new ink cartridges costs about 70 dollars.
Then so its not a complete environmental disaster buying a new printer 3-4 times a year I always take the old one to my work's technology recycling program.
Yes, I agree, all my little gadgets, mini-disc, pda, and I say laptop too, I always get the extended warranty and I always use it.
Although admittedly I only get it at one store cause when I bring it in and say I have the extended warranty I can magically get it back within a day or two, if I don't its usually, oh Im sorry that will 6-8 weeks. The 60 bucks it cost it worth it to get my fix rushed to the head of the line or actually cared about.
Uhh, he said run them over with a grain truck, Im assuming that he had dropped his keys and said grain truck ran over them.
I mean I know other vehicles are a rarity, I mean there are only millions of other vehicles on the road, the probability of another vehicle running over keys must be astronomically low.
A dispute over ownership.
The whole patent system, in the states works on first to file doesn't it. Thus if I mug the patent lawyer on the way to the office and file it myself, I get the patent, it does not matter who or what or when the idea actually came about.
Besides, Im sure the "Oh but I had that idea years ago before that other company ever did" arguement really holds up in court.

They are trying to stop the technology from being deployed, not stop the use of said technology.
It is by far the best tag management I have seen and supports many formats including ogg.
Oh and its free too.

I don't know how well it works, but I do believe there were 1 or 2 others with similar functionality.

This is slashdot, I'm afraid you're not allowed to break years of mindless bashing tradition with your silly logic and facts.

Litarture books often do not have indexes Mr. English Major.
No, you're slightly confused, adults don't have the buying power, kids have the buying power, we just have the money.
This program will stop all autoplay and do a bunch of other nice stuff.

Yea but you can lift a mouse to return it a neutral position.
With the new system it tracks your movements, so attempting to move it a neutral position will affect your position in the game.
I was thinking about this. Do you need to physically turn around 360 degrees to do this in a game? If not, and it is scaled, is there anything to bring it to a neutral position.

Sure, then there is the digital signal processing and embedded OS to handle the I/O and file management.
Its not simply a matter of hooking a hard drive up to an audio jack.
Digital textbooks, oh I hope we don't get those. I certainly don't want something like this (textbooks with EULAs) http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/08/10/00 8228&tid=146&tid=192&tid=17
and as displays like these become better and more viable it could start replacing normal books.
