Maybe MS shouldn't let remote web pages control how my windows look. I *want* the status, button, and menu bars. Allowing remote pages to remove them is a bug IMO. Mozilla, yum.
I used Dvorak for a while.. but there were a couple things that made me switch back to Qwerty:
1. public computers: internet cafes, computer labs, libraries, or even helping my girlfriend out with her computer required me to un-wire and switch back to qwerty for a while.
2. Vi: Vi was made for the qwerty layout, with the home row movement keys (hjkl). Remapping the keyboard is possible, but not without breaking all of the memnomics (sp?) that I had previously had. i.e., that row becomes "dhtn", 3 of which have other (non-movement) meanings (d = delete, t = to, n = next). What now becomes my delete/to/next keys? And what are the memnomics?
3. I was never taught to type correctly. My hands are not on the home row, my fingers are extended, and my form is a mess.. I basicly use like 3 fingers on each hand to type, moving my hands a lot. I get decent speed doing this (~60 wpm, I would guess), but it isn't accurate and doesn't translate to dvorak. When I learned dvorak, I realized it was designed for touch typists with the standard home row configuration. To this day, whenever I use dvorak, I change to the home-row stance. I am not as comfortable or as confident in this position and it makes my typing slow.
So, I found myself constantly switching back and forth between qwerty and dvorak.. my bad typing habits were created for qwerty.. and after months on dvorak, I still found qwety to be faster. That is why i reverted to qwerty. I wish I was better at dvorak, i really do, but damnit, i want Vim to work the way it should./rant
This kind of blantant power-grab should be on the front page, not buried in section. Even if you agree with the policies of the Busy administration, this is newsworthy.
That being said, this is nothing new. The military and CIA have been spying on the citenzry for a long time via the eschelon system. What this does is legalize it so that it is easier for the military and the cia. Currently the system is dependent on the good will of the canuks and the brits, and this move would get around that.
The way it works is that since its illegal for the US military and CIA to spy on their own citzens, they just request a the foreign goverments do it and report back to the US agencies. The US also does them the same favor by spying on canadian and brittish citizens.
The whole thing is a big load of crap.. but for Bush and the republicans to have the balls to try to make this legal.. wow.. 4th amendment anyone?
Holy crap! The exact same thing happened to me with the characters on Sesame Street! B&W TV, and I thought Elmo was blue and Grover was red! So it wasn't just a red->blue transition, it was also a blue->red!
To this day, I'm still not sure what color Plastic Man is supposed to be. (Ok, I just checked google, and its red.. i thought he was blue)
Then I finally saw it in color at a neighbor's house and it confused the crap out of me because all the colors were wrong (to me).
I wonder what we queued off of in the image. Must be something with the color densisty in the YcBcR encoding that is used in NTSC.. and how it comes out when the TV doesn't recognize that.
Wow, and I thought I was just a freakin weird kid!
The.iq TLD should belong to the people of Iraq. They should have the final say as to who gets access to it. Selling it off like.tv and.cx today would basicly mean that this ISP is taking advantage of these people because their government is in shambles. Shame on them.
This is a large body of work. It must consist of several hundred man-hours of effort. Who deserves the thanks for this? Was it volunteer driven or is there corporate backing? Anyone have any details?
Can someone explain this to me? How much code does it take to render HPGL graphics? Surely no more than a postscript renderer, which really isn't that much. Lets be generous and say its 1MB of code. What the hell else is in this driver that causes it to be so bloated that it takes up 22MB, which I suspect is already compressed?!
I suspect its a bunch of junk that you don't need in order to print, sits in your taskbar tray, and runs a daemon/service for no good reason.
Crap like this is yet another reason why windows sucks.
No, I think that falls under reverse engineering. They just re-implemented the specification of the x86 machine code.. unless there are patents that cover the machine code itself, there shouldn't be any licensing involved.
Similar thing with Cyrix, Transmeta, etc. Also for MIPS processors, lots of different companies implement to that instruction set.
I know I shouldn't feed the trolls, but there's a lot of infrastructure change needed to go from socket to slot. Notice that AMD did have the 'Slot A' system a little later on.
At that point, they stopped being a drop-in replacement for intel chips, requiring their own motherboards and chipsets. This was a big change, and again, requires a lot of infrastructure.
AMD and Intel have a cross-licensing agreement. AMD gets access to all of Intel's stuff and Intel gets access to all of AMD's stuff. Notice that AMD implemented MMX and SSE despite Intel's patents.
The semiconductor industry is so heavily reliant on new tech that patent cross-licensing becomes a necessity.
Even more damningly, a fundamental precondition of technological solutions is the ability to force the other guy or gal to play by your technological rules. Setting the do-not-forward bit on your email is useless unless email clients respect that bit. Therefore: Palladium. Therefore: the broadcast flag. Therefore: certificate authorities. Therefore: the IPv6 Forum. Therefore: the DVD Content Control Association. All of these institutions are devoted to the widespread distribution of compliance. They encourage and/or coerce the adoption of their preferred technologies in many different ways, but the underlying idea is always the same: create a forum within which certain rules of behavior are enforced at the architectural level.
Can someone fill me in here? Why is the IPv6 Forum lumped in with these other loathsome authotitarian groups? I mean, what does IPv6 do that changes people's behavior? This makes no sense to me. Its not as if people or IP addresses will be more easily trackable with IPv6. Its not as if there's DRM or crypto built in. You can do everything with IPv6 that you can do today with IPv4. Whats the deal, what am I missing?
Looks like there is a project that is implementing it as a kernel-level driver (as it should be, IMO). It exports the device as/dev/sda (etc.). It certainly seems to be in active development.

You are mistaken.
Qwerty home keys for the right hand are "jkl;" but the vi movement keys are "hjkl", one to the left.

Driving from New York to SF for the first time? Can't read a map?
Whats so hard about that? Even if you are a moron that can't read a map, I think you should be able to follow these directions:
1. Get on the George Washington Bridge
2. Continue on I-80 westbound
3. After crossing the Bay Bridge, stop.
2900 miles later, congrats, you are in SanFran. Not that hard.
