Most modern browsers are or will be interacting with those same parts of Windows (Direct 2D) for hardware acceleration. The difference is that most other browser manufacturers include fallbacks for legacy OSes and hardware. Strangely IE9 has fallbacks for legacy hardware, but not for a lack of DirectX 10.
They both had ALS yes; but 'retardation' in the medical community refers to a psychological problem (http://www.assessmentpsychology.com/iqclassifications.htm), and ALS evidently does not impede mental functioning.
If they discover something that supports phlogiston which is not better explained by oxygenation or other means than they have more place at the physics conference than many of the string theorists that currently monopolize them; until that time they'd have very little to talk about.
The article was about the IE video not the Windows one; despite only linking to the Windows. Also Doom2 quit working in 2000 and started working in XP (which was an upgrade to 2000)
I very much hope your dismal version of the future doesn't happen. Libraries are a last refuse of a saner time when information and art was free for everyone. They are the best, maybe the only, place where you can get a large selection of books, movies, and sometimes games in their full form for free to experience and learn from without breaking the law.
Libraries are almost certainly how the internet should have worked, but it is very far from the reality in an age of ever suffocating copyright laws, publishing companies with more power than artists or consumers, and drm by default.
Since you posted twice I know you're trolling, but I'll bite for anyone that doesn't know better. HTML 5 is in a draft state, much of it's functionality is still in flux with some parts being more stable than others. At this point we can't fault a vendor for not wanting to be stuck with an implementation that's broken later because they implemented an earlier draft.
A browser that relies on the OS for support for thousands of different codecs AND lightweight (less than 100 MB)? Easy. Even if not though - VLC for Windows is only a 20MB download.
Fortunately this plan doesn't require perpetual motion. The energy source is the potential stored in your unlimited supply of heavy items way up high where you want your light items shipped.
I hate to be another naysayer in this pick on KDE board so I will mention that it is my primary DE/WM on my primary computer, and that I think Solid is great.
That aside KDE 4.5's tiling window support was not usable. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=246153 means it breaks whenever you close all but one of your windows and then try to open more
Also on my system kwin would crash when tiling was turned off.
Those bugs are still open so I don't think it's gotten much attention for 4.6 but I will try this weekend.
Like others here I can verify it works well in DOSBox. For multiplayer in windows xDuke + YANG seems to have online players whenever I check. For the single player experience I recommend eduke32 (which can be further extended with the High Resolution Pack and Polymer 3d engine)
Well there probably should be at least one refuge where computer science nerds can discuss news that matters. Unlike mainstream media the news here shouldn't have to pander to the lowest common denominator - if you don't care for this article move on to one in a field that you are interested in. If you are not a nerd at all then news for nerds may not appeal to you.
It can't have an awesome plot or characters, it's TRON.
3/4 of the movie should look awesome but contribute nothing at all with scenes that could appear in pretty much any order. Also all the proof we need that someone stole code is a print out saying they did, Priority 1, END OF LINE
I get crashes in system settings sometimes, and I have a friend who gets crashes in konq frequently. There are a few parts of KDE that are very crash prone and daily users learn to avoid them without thinking about it.
As far as the age of the universe, that's an easy one. God made the universe 6000 years ago as if it were made much longer ago. You really have no way of proving the universe wasn't made yesterday and you were created with the memory of having existed before then.
Occam's razor suggests that we're best off sticking to the idea that the universe was actually created a lot longer ago than to postulate both that it wasn't but instead created by a deity much more recently, and come up with some reason for the deity to want us to believe the universe is older than it is. If you have a belief system that causes the former to be unacceptable then I guess it's reasonable to pursue the latter.

Interestingly OpenTTD 1.1.0 was actually released today (www.openttd.org)
In this case the date did help me notice it, as I was scanning open source project sites to see what they were doing for April Fools.

What a wonderful version of the Ship of Theseus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus) I was thinking that through this entire discussion.

As a Canadian I'm sad to inform you that despite an English population that is high we have lousy public transit. Maybe try England?

They don't do cavity searches, that's part of the bizarre theatre of it all. Part of the point of this article was that most people hide illicit things in areas which would require a cavity search and they just feel you up. http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2010/10/for-the-first-time-the-tsa-meets-resistance/65390/
Bah, a horrible creepy movie! A pox on you and your family for reminding me.
(I mean in the next election. Lately they've been nearly annual so it's easy to confuse)
I hope the Pirate Party of Canada runs in my riding this year. Digital privacy is obviously not a priority for the current government.

They recommend several programs that I think do what you want.

That's not true, The Blue Jays participate in the World Series but Canada can't access.
