Or, we need to realize that people arn't perfect, and that peopel like you could benefit from etiquete lessons and probably a dose of Paxil to help take the edge of the OCD.
Obviously, you are a shill, my mistake for thinking otherwise. You make it sound like MS is in some fashion being generous. No, they aren't, they're doing this to keep people locked into their OS. It's a business motive, and quite frankly, you'd have to be stupid not to see through it.
Mozilla is standing up for their users, and the users of unpopular OS, deferring to the OS is a bullshit solution to the problem. That's largely the sort of thinking which led to Flash being the format of choice for online content, you knew that if it was supported it would work correctly. But it was problematic because for most of that time Macromedia only supported Windows and Mac, which meant that if you were using another platform you were effectively shut out of sections of the web.
It's not ideological or political in nature, I've seen what happens when shills like you convince people that it's OK to section off blocks of the web because their favorite OS is supported. Ultimately everybody suffers because websites can no longer offer up the sorts of choices that people should have in operating environment.
Oh, this is rich, the guy who just defends MS for monopolist tactics, is accusing me of wanting to restrict the freedoms of other people. What's next attacking me for supporting healthcare reform as being a fascist move to force people to give up their essential freedoms?
It's probably your machine, you should report it to them. I haven't had any trouble reading fonts in Firefox 4, I've been using them constantly since about beta 2 or so, and I have yet to hit a stage where I couldn't read the fonts or they were blurry. More likely this is some sort of incompatibility with your video card that needs to be sorted out.
Not to mention they were nice enough to release an H.264 plugin for Firefox thus freeing Mozilla from any licensing issues. It supposedly only works native in Windows 7 since Win 7 comes with H.264 support built in, but since it is simply calling the WMP API if you have an H.264 DShow codec installed (personally I like Klite Mega on XP, Vista codec pack for Vista and 7 Codec pack for 7 along with 64 bit MP Classic) it should work just fine.
Bullshit, they didn't free Mozilla from anything, Mozilla still has to pay a licensing fee for copies that are running on other OSes if they want support, given that MS just created a plug in to use a library already in Windows. And not even all currently used versions either, I'm not sure about Vista, but it doesn't do squat for those of us on XP.
If you haven't actually loaded up a copy of what Mozilla has been doing over the last year+ of work, what precisely do those browser versions have to do with anything? Additionally, even during the 3.5x period, the memory use was well below the competition.
But then again, I'm guessing your some sort of shill and that this isn't going to have any impact.
That was what shocked me when I first heard it. A proper reactor like the ones typically employed in the US, will shut down automatically when power is lost to the core. The control rods drop from the top and the fuel rods drop out of the core into basically a concrete slot. And the reaction very quickly comes to a halt as all those particles flying around get absorbed by the control rods.
For some reason, these reactors seem to require power in order to be off, which is one of the lessons we learned from Chernobyl. Another one being be damned sure that you're technicians are both competent and not terrorists.
Basically yes, although my Nexus One was really convenient to root, basically just reboot with a special handshake and confirm that I was OK with Google no longer being responsible for software problems.
This reminds me, I should update my phone, I haven't updated since I switched over to cyanogenmod.
Google could do that as well, if it had control over the handsets as well as the operating system. You can't have it both ways, people that get Android phones (like me) want something that's more open typically than what Apple will allow. The downside is that Google has little control over what "enhancements" the carriers and handset manufacturers put in place. And Google also doesn't control how locked down those handsets are either.
You know, praying is a lot less expensive, and if God lets it happen no amount of money and monitoring is going to make a difference.
The fact that so many Americans believe that bullshit is why we're going to ultimately cut funding to it and continue to do little to nothing about climate change.
I kind of liked the movie, but that was one of my first thoughts for terrible computer scenes. I remember being pretty impressed with the system at the time it came out, but it had the same sort of problems that Hackers did in that respect. Even at the time it seemed to be a really strange way of using a computer.
That aspect is what's shocking. Carmack still ports things to random architectures to show that he's still the man. And a lot of those presumably don't have DirectX. Or at least I assume that the iPhone doesn't.
It's easy to be the best when you lean on the parties implementing the hardware and writing the software to ignore the other options. Let's be honest about the fact that DirectX won as much because of MS' monopoly position as anything else. Back in the late 90s when this stuff was starting to really kick off there were tons of options available, it's just that MS and DirectX ultimately had the advantage of being able to bundle it with the most popular OS for gaming.
Most of the options like Glide and PowerSGL were only compatible with a particular brand of hardware and had poor compatibility beyond. In that context, you had basically DirectX and OpenGL available for hardware in a more generic fashion.
Because it's a scam site. If you don't know the answer is at the bottom they fraudulently try to get you to pay for the information lower on the page. I personally would rather not reward that sort of behavior.
That's more of a Linux problem. Since there's a kernel with no definite userland, that sort of thing happens. I haven't had the problem with FreeBSD or Windows because there is a much greater degree of separation between the base install and any 3rd party applications. Windows was having similar problems to Linux in the past with 3rd party libraries getting mixed in and replacing system ones, I think they've mostly got that sorted out in recent versions, but that was a large part of the stability problems of the past.
I had issues with Ubuntu not playing well with my bluetooth keyboard. I could use it with grub, but the log in screen wouldn't detect it. So, I had to log in with my wired keyboard. I suspect that there's a way of making the change permanent, but I don't have that problem with OpenSUSE or any other OS I've used.
Yeah, really, when I was 11, the most likely place to go for computer help was from us 11 year old kids, as it seemed that a huge portion of the computer literate population was that age at that time. I'm not sure why today's kids would be so feeble intellectually as to make that true.
That was my thought when I saw the article earlier. I'm not sure on what basis they concluded that there's a relationship between the two beyond happening in the same large block of time. DNA itself doesn't have to be a specific number of base pairs, but whatever additions or deletions happen can't screw too much with the mechanics or reproduction.
Actually, it's New Mexico, but the rest of it is spot on. Take the samples if they're relevant to the investigation, but I do think there should be some rules barring the use of that DNA on other investigations without a conviction or at least some specific court order mandating it.
It's worse than that, they might legitimately arrest somebody and then find out later that the individual is in fact innocent or that there was no crime committed. At which point you've now arrested somebody and tested their DNA. Any bets as to whether or not they destroy the sample once they've checked it?

And if we house it in congress, we'll be sure to never run low on wind. Unfortunately, the blades may become damaged by excessive wind.

Wait, Windows phones are best taken internally?

I liked hackers, but the actual computer scenes were some of the worst I'd ever seen.
I would've gone with Hackers or the Lawnmower Man. I think those were far worse.

Lay off, some people happen to like working with the special needs population. And I for one think they should be commended.

To be fair, I feel that way as well, probably because I haven't had any stability problems worth noting with the betas.
