"The Complainant submits that the <GUINNESS> mark is famous, in part because the mark has been in continuous use for many years and because Complainant engages in extensive advertising of its products, and uses the <GUINNESS> trademark in this regard."
So it's not famous for its good beer, no wonder they were touchy about the domain, after all, truth hurts.;)
I can't believe someone would travel overseas to see other varied and interesting cultures and miss out on a large part of the experience by eating American junk food!
I tell you sometimes it makes me wonder why Americans bother to travel at all.
Stay at home everything will be just as you like it there!
After much searching and reading. I think my choice would be for the above mentioned camera. A good range of features for a reasonable price ($574.00 @ thedigitaldog.com). For more info have a look at this review.
Have you ever heard of grain-fed beef, very popular here in Australia, as I am sure it is in most beef-eating countries.
More disturbing than that, is these are animals are often fed their relatives and cousins. To quote from David Suzuki's latest book: "herbivorous food animals like cows an sheep have turned into carnoivores and cannibals by being fed ground-up and cooked-down flesh and blood of their own and other animals species."
It goes on to say, ""We're grinding up live chickens and feeding them back to other chickens. We're collect manure and feed it back to them too." Such practices are not done everywhere, but they are considered normal by the industry and are widespread in North America."
If the geeks working for M$ could have their way running the company, it wouldn't be the standards-flouting, gratuitously incompatible, anti-competitive behemoth we know and loathe. They'd take the time to release software that's less bloated, less buggy and standards-compatible.
Wait a second. Didn't the author of the article say "The planning process is radically "bottom-up" and surprisingly nonpolitical." and "At Microsoft the process seems to be: 1) persuade your colleagues that a certain feature will be popular, and that it can be created, and 2) create it.".
If these comments are to be taken as gospel wouldn't it mean that the standard-flouting and bloatware came from the developers and not the marketing types?
I would agree with you here. But I do have to add that the NS ftp does not cut the mustard either. I'd much rather use a dedicated FTP client anyway.
>When downloading files, 9 times out of 10, I get "File Size: Unknown"
Yep kinda annoys me too, but hey the file will d/l when it d/l's. No amount of knowing details about it's size or other attributes will make it suck down any faster.
> And it doesn't fscking close the download window when it finishes, by default >:-|
I think this was done because many ppl (newbies) got confused about where their d/l's were going, so this gave them an op to open the file when the d/l finished. If you don't like it click the little check box to close the window when done, and bingo the windows close.
> The configurations for IE are cumbersome...
The config window accessed from the Tools/Internet Options menu item is the same as that in Control Panel. Try loading the Ctrl Panel menu, then load Internet Option from the browser. What happens? The window opened from Ctrl Panel comes to the front of the z order.
> Java seems to run slower for me in the IE virtual machine
Can't say I have noticed any speed difference. But I have noticed stability difference, NS JVM sucks big time!
In my experience NS is prone to crashing far more often then IE and loves reloading pages from the server even if you so much as sneeze.
So you think MS are doing this out of the goodness of their hearts?
Wake up and smell the coffee! They are doing it so the only software you know is MS...when school is done and you have to buy software for real $'s they are betting you will buy MS products.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, you are selling your mindset to MS.
The banner ad at the bottom of the page has pic of the the bot carrying what looks to be a drink bottle (in fact the tray looks like it is designed for a plate, glass/can, and utensils).
How did the robot get the drink into the tray?
My guess is, you go to your fridge and put it in there yourself as the bot couldn't do that in its current config.
I want a robot that will get the drink/food etc for me while I sit on my fat lazy arse in front of the PC/TV, not one that requires me to do all the hard work!
When you consider that the majority of any population (Austrlian or otherwise)does not have the computer savvy of the readers of this website. I think it is fair to say most people would consider "All we need to do is fire up a 98 box and do a domain log-on." to be computer babble.
No it's not. try www.saturn.co.nz, their pricing is far better than that of telstra. To get 1.5gb of data, phone and cable TV I would have to pay $300+ per month more the the offering by Saturn.
Ok, why can you get much cheaper cable internet access in New Zealand than you can here (Australia). See Saturn an NZ co offering phone, Cable TV and cable internet.
