I have Flash 10 plugin installed on both my 64-bit Debian Iceweasel(Firefox) and on my 32-bit Firefox 3 browser on my Windows XP box at work. I have never received that message... except when I first needed to install it.
"MS has virtually no control over moonlight, and also seems pretty good about providing the mono team with what they need to replicate both Silverlight and other.NET features."
Then why is it not feature complete and never has been?
You can at least have a say in how your pup is raised. Silverlight on the other hand... You will get the puppy they give you, and it will be trained by someone who wants your money.
Not to mention, Gnash (in my more recent experiences with Moonlight and Gnash for work) is much more stable and has far better support for SWFs than Moonlight has for Silverlight files currently. Moonlight and Mono will always suffer from feature limitations. Developers will want to use the latest and greatest Microsoft has to offer (because they made it, duh!) and Mono will always lag behind and not support that video feed or app you want to launch.
Agreed. I used Flashdevelop professionally and it's far better than most IDEs I've come across including Sepy. Sepy is nice, but it's aging poorly. Hopefully, FD will get the supposed Mono/Linux client in the back lot of the forum working soonish.
I don't print photos. It's a waste of paper and ink if you ask me. I sort my pictures into folders for the occasion, so I don't see a need to be able to sort by camera type or whatever you're sorting by. On the rare occasion that I do print (I just recently picked up a new laser printer for document printing. I disposed of my old printer back in 1998 and have gone 10 years without printing...) I know exactly where my photos are. I also have the ability to view, place on memory card and carry it to my TV or give it to my parents if they want them.
As a programmer, I deal with TONS of folders, files and structures and the removal of the functional parts of the tree view and the addition of the breadcrumb it's only an exercise in obfuscation of the file system. The breadcrumb requires at least two clicks, along with rendering the files for each folder you click back to in order to simply go back three folders and up one. With the tree, I simply visually follow the lines back to the folder I need and click on it.
The added navigation bars in Win7/Vista are also excessive and not needed for my daily usage. I normally get rid of the back/forward/location from explorer and have one row of tool bars that come in handy. With Win7, I'm now forced to have at least 2 full length bars that I cannot remove ("Organize" and the "Navigation bar".)
I disagree about the "File Browser" aspect. I prefer a nice tree view with lines and +/- icons for managing my files. The only thing the file manager has done in recent Windows versions is waste more screen space and be harder to read at a glance.
This is one aspect of Gnome/Nautilus that I dislike as well, but I can change that. Vista had an option to re-enable lines, but Win7 does not.
You'd want to distribute power over distances in cases like wind power... in case Kansas gets freak no-wind weather for weeks. They should be able to soak up excess power from somewhere with wind.
That's why I don't buy the idea of one centralized generation facility. I like the idea of home based generation. A small wind turbine, solar cells, etc. on each home that generates enough electricity for the home and feeds excess to a national grid. Of course, the grid would need some changes to make it "safe" to transport electricity from homes in California to Kansas if it were needed for some reason.
I'm sure there are laws about international waters, but does the closest state own the rights to waters offshore? Could they issue "property taxes" to windmills offshore? And how to they determine who has first dibs to build things at sea?
REG: Second Amendment Rights, which I support. The right for a person to defend themselves. To me, that link supports this and the idea that confronting a homeowner bearing arms is enough to make criminals think twice. Personally, if they steal my TV while I'm not home I wouldn't be as angry as them doing it while I'm bleeding on the floor because they had illegal weapons and I wasn't allowed to defend myself.
You can, in fact, pitch a tent in the middle of the road. That is, if you are not ticketed or arrested for j-walking or constructing a building in a public space.
If I'm not mistaken, most plant life in a "public" park is protected by federal law and most parkland is not "public", but protected land owned by the government so it would be stealing. Also, I don't believe it is illegal to take pictures of a tree, or film it for a documentary. The reason you have to get a permit is for public safety and control. The director wouldn't want some random person walking through the scene and in order to keep that from happening, they have to cordon off a section of the park.
By ignoring those two things, you could argue that anyone carrying a gun in Washington DC is going to kill the President, including the Secret Service. They may be carrying with intent to protect the President, but since we are ignoring the intent and motive of the individual carrying the gun, we may as well arrest them because you think that anyone using a gun in Washington D.C. must be a pedophile.
However we never agreed to allow our property to be systematically photographed and geotagged for inclusion in some corporations for profit database, and for it to be indexed and published online.
You sound like a DRM lawyer. You have written: "systematically photographed and geotagged for inclusion in some corporations for profit database" about 14 times in this one thread. Are these rules specific for a reason?
But let's say you get a law passed that has those exact words, since that means something to you...
What if I randomly photographed houses instead of systematically capturing them?
What if I am not a corporation, but instead a privately owned company?
What if I don't charge people for the pictures?
What if I don't put them in a database, but just provide links to all the pictures I took for your neighborhood in a folder with your city name?
I guess that's a matter of opinion. I used to think that somehow people were somehow unique from, say, a metal trophy. I've grown older and only seen that people are things that shine themselves, display themselves, and generally reflect whatever image is presented to them. If not themselves, they do it to others. In reality, people are just animals with egos.
Try asking why Win7 doesn't have a classic start menu and you get the same type of responses...
Try asking on the Dwarf Fortress forum why Toady doesn't create a client/server model for Dwarf Fortress and you get the same type of responses...
With any community there are people with ideals on what and how something should work. Software is a probably one of the more violent subjects to this.
I suppose they could use one of those DC Power Supplies used in Car PCs that plug straight into the power connector on ATX mainboards. Supply that with 12V from whatever source and you essentially have the same scenario. Use an A/C switching PS to float charge a battery and use the battery to power the DC PS on the board.

Our forefathers weren't idiots. It still amazes me how many people put on blinders.
I don't think it's illegal anywhere to use the sidewalk as a public restroom, but you might get ticketed for public exposure.

Can't you just accept that your house is public?
1) People aren't things.

So you want a modern day console?

Is this a story about ASP.NET MVC or a selling point for MS-PL? (Honest question!)

I thought "pants" was a good thing. Maybe it's in the usage.
Oh man! That's the pants!

Oh man! That's the shit!
That's alright, I signed up a long while back and couldn't find that account info either when I created this one.
