When the movie was advertised, the ad didn't see "ads and a movie." When I bought a ticket, the ticket didn't say "Ads & ". The theatre and I made the deal that I buy this ticket and in exchange I show up at the theatre at the time listed to get to see the movie. Nowhere did they say anything about ads.
I owned (and still own) some Atari Lynxs. I don't remember exactly what the batter life was (3-4 hours maybe?). But I do remember how I extended battery life: When playing in the car, I used the car adapter to power it. And when playing at home, a lot of times I used the AC adapter. These allowed me to save the batteries for when I needed them.
AOL decended from an online Commodore 64 service. But the AOL we know today came after several other online services. (CompuServe, GEnie, the Source, Delphi, etc.)
I don't know Microsoft's policies with Office, but I think some companies upgrade their software every few years because the vender tells them "we're not going to support that version anymore." I've never understood that myself. If the software is working fine for what you're doing, why do you need support? I used Atari computers for several years after they stopped being manufactured. Software doesn't suddenly stop working because the company that made it goes away/drops support/whatever.
Why can't more movies trailers allow themselves to be downloaded? It would really help those of us that don't have (and cant have) quicktime installed on our internet computers.
The question I have is will these autocomplete words be words that advertisers pay to be there? Or will they actually be the most popluar stuff searched for?

What is a public institution doing patenting things? Shouldn't their research be used for the public good? Is money made from this patent being used to help further educational programs?
Actually, I don't use GIMP. (I use Paint Shop Pro.) The reason I suggested it, was that other posts seemed to imply that GIMP loaded a lot of unnecessary stuff at startup. I apologize if I've offended anyone, especially GIMP developers. They do deserve a lot of credit for what they have accomplished.
So it is based on Winamp. Winamp's engine will be playing back the sound. It'll just have a different interface. Just think of it as a very different winamp skin.:-)
I don't think season 5 was as good as the others. But it did have some good episodes. One of my favorites was "A View from the Gallery". All the other episodes showed things from the "leaders" viewpoints. That one let you see things thru the eyes of some common people living on the ship. The same stuff is still going on in the background. But you see it from a different viewpoint. I thought it was a nice change of pace.
What about lazy initialisation/lazy loading of modules?
I agree. Abode Reader on Windows takes a while to load, in part because of all the plugins it uses. Many of which I don't need if I'm just reading a document. There are programs that will modify reader so that it doesn't load all those plugs and it starts up faster.
Why not add something like this to Gimp? Let the user choose the plugins they use most and have only those autoload. Then have the others load as needed?
Personally, I think some of the math books make the simple things too hard. I was out of high school for several years when one day it hit me what pi was. I realized that if you took the diameter of a circle and wrapped it around the circle, it would go pi times. I remember going over pi several times in math classes, but I don't every remember being taught that.
Of course, it could just be that I have a bad memory.
I remember when electronic encyclopedia's first came out. They actually had a lot of in depth articles. Then "multi-media" hit. Suddenly they had all those neato pictures and videos. But the articles suffered because of it. Instead of articles that told you a lot about a subject, you had ones that just skimmed it and were shorter than a newspaper column.
Sounds like a good idea for some sort of plug in. If there was something that was right, but it didn't recongize it, you would have a button to override it. And you could pick which language you want to check. It might even be could for learning another language. Once you learn some it, you begin to try to talk to others in it and the program helps you correct your mistakes!
I've got a copy of STart magazine (an Atari ST magazine) from September 1989. It has a picture of Indy on the cover. I think it was reviewing the new games (there were two) based on the Last Crusade, which had just come out.

We can be ported to many platforms that Opera can't
Opera has been ported to Linux, cell phones, PDAs and embedded devices. What platform is he refering to when he says Opera can't be ported to it?

Great. Now we'll have a POS with a flash based interface running on top of Window CE! :-)
Now instead of a blue screen of death, we'll get a nice animated blue screen of death.

"As reported here earlier"
I just thought of something. If every Slashdot story was prefixed with "As reported earlier" , then (technically) we wouldn't have any more dupes!
only utilizing Winamp's "Unagi" playback engine"

So that's why ad's cost so much? They have to pay a review board to look at them first?

Yeah, but imagine a beowulf custer of those...

How much is my cell phone bill going to go up to cover it this time?
"The atmosphere on mars has orders of magnitude lower pressure than ours"
How did we know that until we went there and measured it?
i-Names? Is this an Apple product?

Well then. Quit your job. Write a game. Remember to put your name in the credits. Then upload your game and enjoy!
