    Wrong. Read http://www.ibz.rrn.fgov.be/ind...
    Basically, the problem occured when going into a party list, canceling and choosing a different party.
    The issue did occur in the voting machine's software, and the central vote collecting system correctly handled, detected the inconsistency, and refused to process the invalid vote data.

    Yeah. I want a dual touch-screen clamshell smartphone. Now. One that actually flips open in the right direction, too, you know, the direction so that you can actually use it to call, and so that people can actually hear what you're saying on the other side of the line.

    Also, to you smartphone users, I can't hear a thing you say when you call me. Please talk closer to your microphone next time, thank you.

    I run Firefox and Thunderbird in Win2k compatibility mode nowadays, makes it look acceptable again.

    Yes, I already got it all set up back to how it looked and worked originally...
    The thing is, if they want to make a browser that looks completely different, then they should just publish it as a new product, instead of replacing what people are using the browser for with what they're using other browsers not for.

    That, and, nobody I know likes the new user interface. In fact the majority simply refuses to upgrade, or downgraded after they did upgrade...

    Kind of like Windows Vista. Most people only used it because it basically was forced upon them (although personally I found it better than XP...), a whole bunch of people just downgrade their systems, and sure you can configure it to look like classic, but that's not a fix is it?

  14. Re:Consoles Done For? on Sony Won't Invest As Heavily In PlayStation 4 · · Score: 1

    Yup. I've heard from some relatively large companies in the industry that they'll be jumping onto the OnLive system as their target 'console' platform. Only costs the user a comparatively cheap receiver box or a pc, and a broadband internet connection. Game developers also don't need to worry about hackers (as long as the OnLive network itself doesn't get hacked), or illegal copies, and the hardware is all at the provider's side (with quite a few ISPs globally being involved apparently), so there's also no need for the end-user to upgrade any hardware every so many years. Plus it seems they give a 30 minute trial of the full game without network and savegame, for every game in their marketplace it seems, so that's a pretty fair way to try out a game before you buy it. And you can do the 30 minute trial over and over again without costing you anything, if it doesn't bother you to restart the game from the beginning every time.

  15. Re:Memeory Leaks on Mozilla Rolls Out Firefox 3.6 RC, Nears Final · · Score: 1

    Okay, say, I open a few hundred tabs to Google.com. Every new tab adds more MB ram used. When I close all those tabs, no ram is freed at all. Usage can easily go up to a GB of ram with opening and closing the page enough times. When I open a new tab to Google.com again, more ram is used. That's definitely not a normal cache, it's a memory leaking cache. It's not because it's a cache that it doesn't need to limit it's ram usage.
    And they should use the hard disk instead for such a ridiculous > 1GB cache, especially since I also need to be able to run 3ds Max or Adobe Premiere while Firefox is running.
    Currently Firefox is using 377MB ram. This is the only tab open.

  17. Re:What about our screen real estate? on Preview the Office 2007 Ribbon-Like UI Floated For OpenOffice.Org · · Score: 1

    I'd have no problem with these ribbon things, if only they were on the side of the screen.
    Right know when working with a document in any text document editing program, there's generally two huge empty spaces on the left and on the right. They should fill that up instead.

    On the other hand, this does not apply to everything, for example iGoogle was fine with the tabs on top, because it easily had multiple things visible next to each other in the same tab. They moved the tabs left (without an option to put them back on top), and without even giving any additional vertical space (they actually somehow even managed to kill more vertical space) they killed off some more horizontal space as well, making the menu on the side a horrible idea in that case.

    Review didn't bother to look any further than the taskbar. The windows accessories have also gotten a nice revamp, for example.
    WordPad now supports .odt, Paint's got new brushes, the Calculator now shows the whole formula you've typed, etc.
    So when people switch over to Win7, you can actually start sending them .odt documents, and be sure they can open them.

    Err.. self-correction.
    They're for cross eye viewing (right eye looks at left image, left image at right image), not for straight eye viewing.
    I'm used to using my left eye to look at the left image and right for right image (which is easier, imo).
    But anyways, if you're having issues, easiest is to check which method you're using to watch them, and switch them up if needed.

  24. Re:Wasted Screen Space on iGoogle Users Irate About Portal's Changes · · Score: 1

    I have a simple iGoogle page with my Gmail and about 5 RSS feeds. It originally simply showed all the titles of the stuff in the feeds, with a + button in case I wanted to read what it was about. When they first pushed the change trough, the + button for the RSS feeds was removed, and all the texts were completely visible, resulting in too much text to fit on my screen. Not really useful at all. With a bit of searching I found there actually was a function available to make the text invisible. But without + button, so all in all the new version of iGoogle was pretty much a downgrade. The + button on the RSS feeds has returned a few days ago, though. And yeah, the tabs on the left is a pure waste of space, and it's just ugly and impractical. I don't really see the use of showing the titles of the contents of the tab, that I can already see in the center of my screen, in the tab list itself as well. I know what's in my tabs.
