Where I live, Burbank, CA, we got rid of all parking meters -- and good riddance to boot! You can park anywhere in Burbank without paying a fee -- pull into any city lot and go to the local AMC Theater, watch a movie --> head on over to your favorite eating spot, have a bit to eat --> head on over to the ice cream shop, get a double-dipper --> browser the magazine shop, read later PC Magazine --> walk the Media Center Mall, hang out with friends --> finally head back to your car! NO RUNNING TO DROP QUARTER. Nice
So right! Saying Apple dominates the premium priced market is like saying Vegetarians dominate the vegetable eating consumer marketplace -- it all they got.
It seems to me that in just about every SciFi space movie I have every seen you just have to turn on the blinking red self-destruct light and it will blow itself up -- with a very nice "Have A Nice Day" announcement just before the BIG Ka-Boom! Oh, and cut the yellow wire if you need to stop it after the fail-safe point has past.
Remember to duck and cover! Head down between your knees, fingers interlocked around the back of your neck. Cover you head with a copy of the New York Times... NOTHING GETS THROUGH ALL THE SH*T PUBLISHED IN THAT NEWSPAPER!
If a cloud of oxygen of the same size were to come at the Milky Way from the opposite size, would the resulting cloud of water be enough to put out all of the stars?
I read the entire web site [http://wfp.microsoft.com] you reference in your posting and I cannot find anything about Microsoft giving away free Vista or Office 2007. Where did you come up with that tag line? The only thing they are "giving away" is the monitoring software.
They do not appear to be alleging any kind of misconduct in the complaint just that the blogger is being anonymous -- and THAT is what they don't like.
"...a simple motion detector could do the same, so why infrared?..."
I have a client whose office is in Los Angeles, CA and may times I would be talking to her on the phone for an extended period of time and all of a sudden she would say, "Damn, hold-on. I've got to jump up and down because the damn motion detector things no one is in my office." She would have to put down the phone and I could picture her jumping up and down waving her arms yelling at the F&@*%ing sensor to put the lights back on.
And that is why motion detectors are not enough. You need something that can read body heat as well.
I went to the Covad web site last night and did an availability test (I know that it is available since they provisioned the Speakeasy line anyway) and today I received a follow-up call and email about switching over to them. It's going to cost more and I made it clear to the phone rep that I was not ready to switch yet, but they seem to be gearing up and ready to go if Speakeasy starts to tank.
"... IBM does not really benefit is suing. SCO is broke. What are they going to get?"
Entering the boardroom with a vanquished enemies scrotum as a holster for your blackberry is THE latest power executive's fashion accessory. That's what IBM gets out of a victory.
Wait a minute, I've seen this graph somewhere else today. Oh, that's right it is the solution to Lie E8 problem, one of the most complex symmetrical structures in mathematics defining a 248 dimensional object. Here is an other view of the same chart:
Thanks for the reference to Virtuawin. I have been looking for a virtual desktop manager for Vista (MS Powertoys does not work... SURPRISE!) I have been using XDESK with VIsta Beta 2 but now I think I shall try this new one. Anyone working with Virtuawin and Vista? BTW, XDESK does work rather well... such as it is.
Windows does have a multi-desktop manager. I have 4 virtual desktops running at all times with a tool bar to manage them. Each desktop can have a different wallpaper, share all applications or have them run independently, and you can view a thumbnail of all four desktops at one time by using a hot key [window_key] + V or move to any desktop with [window_key] + [1, 2, 3, or 4]. The utility is called the MSVDM (Microsoft Virtual Desktop Manager) and is one of several power toys for XP. You can find it here:

Where do these Linux / Unix people come-up with the dump ass names?!

Oh my! Not only did I mess up my own posting with a typo, but I got the word wrong as well! Color me RED!
Ok, I know! I said: "... very messing business...."
/. while wearing bifocals and preview before submitting!
I should have said "very messy business." So shoot me. No wait, I am not a replicon. If you shoot me, it's murder not a public service.
What did I learn from this? Don't post on
and cleaning them up is a very, very messing business. Just ask Harrison Ford.

Is there any staff left to edit the web site?

You can order one from ThinkGeek http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/input/8193/. I don't know anyone who has every tried one of these virtual keyboard toys, but hey, they look kewl!
... Same with Star Trek... Oh yeah, a computer that speaks and understands English....
And can any of us forget the scene in the Star Trek movie when Scotty picks up the Apple mouse and addresses: "Computer... "
I would add:
I think that finding this a strangely interesting article is the very definition of what it means to be a geek.
