that voxel-based 3-d "Martian surface" demo from the mid-90s that was like 4 kilobytes (http://www.whisqu.se/per/docs/math37.htm). If you want to see more for less, check out these. Check out.kkrieger and.debris especially.
Irfanview runs on Wine (although using a custom toolbar skin crashes it, so don't). However it runs a bit slower than on Windows if you use it to page through image-heavy folders.
If you had read your first quote more carefully the second one would have made more sense. What it's saying is the scanner picked up on unconscious decisions people made. In this case the decision was trivial with no (known) consequences either way so the subjects likely didn't hesitate and just picked one consciously. What this is saying is that they had actually subconsciously decided which one they were going to pick seconds in advance and the scanner was able to see that.
Actually a simpler example would be using Windows API functions to simulate a click on a Allow button in a UAC dialog. It's perfectly permissible within the Windows API to allow one processes to interact with another process' windows... the automation program AutoIt is built around this concept. So UAC uses a special separate desktop which doesn't allow other processes to manipulate its window. Services are no longer allowed to have UI for a similar reason IIRC.
But how is this news? So it's getting closer to release... it was closer to release yesterday than it was the day before, too.
If it was an open alpha, that would be different. But nothing really changes, apart from increase hype from stories like this.
If you're in the closed alpha, I think there's a good chance you already know and hence this news article is old news. Hell, they're probably never going to see it, since they're probably playing it even now.
To those who AREN'T in the closed alpha this can only serve as a tool to help those who are flaunt their exclusivity.
In short: I don't see the point? Well, other than it's WoW and has made Blizzard billions of dollars.
Obviously the prop designer is not bound by that specific contract, but he might have had an employee contract or the prop/mold he used might still technically belong to the studio or Lucas or something. Obviously the courts in California found something but the article is light in this area.
I've watched documentaries and read books about Star Wars... one of the genius moves Lucas made was to make the studios sign away all the merchandising rights to him. This was before merchandising was a big thing (Lucas helped make it big!).
The question is is do those clauses extend to sold props and replicas of props...? IANAL so don't ask me.
He's not formulating a likely scenario, just a possible one. Yours would make it even easier for the bank, but even with his what he's saying is the bank can still claim it's the user's fault by using the letter of the law (no anti-virus software) rather than the spirit (secure computer). I wonder if the clamav package (on debian systems) would count as an "anti-virus software" even though, AFAIK, it only watches for POP3 activity and scans e-mails...
However, the beauty of English over many other languages is that it is still possible to massacre grammar and spelling and still be perfectly understandable. O RLY? R U SUR?
In the original article about the trick, the author noted that a Vista install is quicker than an XP one. Microsoft reworked the install process for Vista with their new WIM format which is sorta like a traditional archive but it stores FILE ATTRIBUTES and NTFS ONLY METADATA so we should be excited about it I guess... anyways I would hope it wouldn't be slower, but then again I hoped Vista wouldn't be slower either...
Lots of the changes in Firefox 3 with regard to bookmarking are in acknowledgment that the current way of bookmarking isn't as efficient as it should be so users DO go and do what you do, just google for their sites.
The star is a one-click bookmark. You can file it later if you want, or just use the "smart" bookmark features.
The awesomebar is basically a search engine for your bookmarks and history. I really don't see why people hate it. If you want to type in a URL without your pr0n sites showing up, clear your history! But seriously... you enter in a key word or key words, and all sites which have some connection with it pop up, with them intelligently ranked based on how often you visit those sites. Even if you just type in URLs you'll find as soon as you type in the "h" of "http" your most frequently typed urls you started typing with "http" in the past will appear! I used to manually type in the address to planet.mozilla.org to go there. Now I just tap h and it's right there by the top for me. The AwesomeBar is designed to make it easier to find your bookmarks and history items.
And if you don't like it... that's why we have extensions.
Fasterfox has allowed you to tweak these settings for a while now, since Firefox 1 I think. You could also skip right to about:config if you know where to look. Of course the main concern is if too many people jack up these settings and download lots of files from web servers and give them a slashdot effect with not nearly as many users needed.
However the reverse of the coin is that if you download lots of small files from a server at once it's really annoying to see them download two. at. a. time. Sometimes you can just open up the floodgates and get it over with quickly and move on.
Adblock and NoScript work fine... I've used Adblock Plus since b4 so past b4 I can't say for SURE, but I'm sure Adblock works fine on b5 too. You might have to disable compatibility checks.
I don't use Flashblock... I find between NoScript and Adblock they pretty much block everything, including flash, twice over anyway.
Those are probably private builds ATM. The latest public Opera scores 78 for me... I THINK I have the latest public build, at least. The site I get my download news from might not update for each build maybe.
On a more serious note, Google Gears doesn't work with Firefox 3. If you navigate to any page that tries to use it Firefox crashes. Oddly I figured this out because every page on nintendo.com tries to use it (guh?)
I own Vista. I got it for free through an MS promo (no, not the "TPB promo"). It's not great news for me, since all my games run much better in XP than Vista and I rarely boot into Vista anymore.
"Do not attribute to malice that which can be explained by ignorance." or something like that.
He probably is just programmed to spout corporate nonsense, he IS getting paid by them after all! I doubt he even knows anything at all about the quality difference.
You DO know going into Quicktime options and unchecking the tray icon option stops Quicktime from readding the tray program to startup everytime you use Quicktime, right?
IE will probably be a required component anyway. Not including it will break a number of programs that expect it to always be there. I personally use Steam which uses an integrated IE browser.

Wow, you British really know how to live! Dedicated internet connections for BitTorrent?
Seriously though, I don't know what a BT line is. >_>
Parent's link is a stupid "OMG YOU WERE TRICKED INTO VISITING THIS PAGE sign up and trick other people" link.

Ugh I'm tired. A correction.

and it served me a 0 byte ISO. If that's not easy to use, I don't know what is!

Now Opera is scoring 79... I think one of the tests they use sometimes fails when it should succeed.
Hmm a few of these tests fail if they don't succeed withing a period of time (click the A for a report). That's probably it.

How dare you claim Google Docs Airplane isn't useful!

Who needs an *official* "unlock all" patch?
