ok, IE7 did a great job making it dificult to having all those toolbars installed by error...BUT after installing those toolbars they have a way to survive to the reset button process just as yahoo tool bar did, In one year the reset button will be useless if it is not fixed because more toolbars or malware would have found a way to protect themself.
it would have been interesting to see a screenshot of the add/remove programs AFTER the reset process.:)
what MS would do is:
1.- use open source (and even release SOME code) to make comunity help in the war with google,
2.- then they will begin sending really cool patches to strategic projects
3.- then they will finally begin to implement their own patches version under its closed sourced software and improve and fix bugs remaining it closed sourced.
4.- kill OSS by leting patches and projects which with the time would be more MS dependant (because of money) unmantained and die.
5.- after 5 years those OSS helped by MS and google would die:) in that way.
6.- MS releases Singularity kernel, compatible with linux structure and file systems as main features
if they offer more (may be $2 million) for a rush, $500k sounds too cheap for a game like this one just the production of the game should be more expensive.
is Microsoft offering a truce? hmmm this smells bad to me this might be a trap I think, sorry this is not trolling I just can't trust microsoft anymore, they are not *evil* but their history is full of traps or "trojan horses".
Well since 3 years ago I consider the PC good enough to handle the most common apps well, (under windows or linux as well), my mom got a good pc which was not a dual core PC but it is enough to use any app she would need... and I have a good PC with an amd64 3400 cpu with enough power to compile my source codes and have a good gaming time too
I think thats way Intel is considering downgrade its prices but I don't know what would make me consider in get the new chipsets from ATI/AMD would make, yes Vista is comming soon but how many ppl is really thinking in give it a try now with winXP SP2 working *good* enough? (and linux working better.. sorry, I had to say it).
it depends on what you need, an interpreted laguage will always need more memory and resources than a native code, even the JVM is made with c++ and drivers are too as well, and c++ is portable enough (java is more portable just because you doesn't need to recompile for any cpu you use).
Now, in the modern world companies not only program for the PC but there are servers, handhelds, cellphones and another apps where the memory really matter, for example: compare the available apps under a mobile device which uses brew apps (verizon mobile for example) and those which j2me apps (sprint or virgin); at this level (mobile apps) is not a good idea to use java "because it is portable" because most of those phones has the same kind of cpu (arm9 or arm7) and even if those where different you would need to modify your app because every phone has different specifications (display screen, sound support, memory, etc), in which case has no sense at all because you still have to modify your source code for each device.
At the PC, it is not a good idea to have your 1gb-sized app made in java it would be a waste of resources for example netbeans, let it open for 4 hours and see how much your memory is consumed (leaks?) I have seen lot of cases where simply closing the app is not enough and you have to reboot the pc, I would never say a customer "Your app is slower because it was done in java in order to have it more portable", another thing is you can't develop drivers or operating systems under an interpreted language, (no, not even vista, the core is not develop in an interpreted language).
the worst thing about native languajes is (IMAO) you have to be confident about the VM, if the VM has a vulnerability or a memory leak then you have it unless you use a jit compiler (which had to be developed under a native language).
Some apps would convine native code with interpreted code (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/jni/JNI ) where heavy or vital process are implemented under a native code and the common process are done with java or other languages, but this kills the portability of the application:) .
is it there any difference between this system and the DS lite version being sold in japan since some months ago? I've heard some ppl have been getting japanesse versions through the internet:)
I'm using it to manage the world cup scores which are shared with another ppl I know, and the spreadsheet is cool I really didn't expected it to support formulas but It Does and i'm using them:)
what about Video games? I work for a video games company and it has zero stress most of the time, you make your own fame because of your good job and no body can tell you that game wasn't made without your help if you appear at the credits;-)
hmmm I just don't have a good reason to move from java or php for web's (and c++ for platforms) to.net, I have noticed microsoft is a lot of *buzz* but just a few about new and USEFULL features under their products.
But I consider my self an open mind man so if you could give me a good reason to give.net a try may be I would...
let me see if I understod well, does this means then if google goes into Tv market (lets say GoogleTv) you would be able to search your tv program just because of it's audio? this looks good.
then would the search query "yes, yes, yes" be filtered because of the highly mature content at results
I would love to not to have to ask this, but.... does someone here could tell me what would be the advantage of choosing a nforce drivers over VIA ones to use this CPU if i'm going to use linux? (on linux is not confortable the use of nvidia drivers and VIA support is native there so I would like a good reasson)
VIA MOBO's are cheap enough to make me think those might be bad hardware but i'm not sure
this is a good example for what you should never do:|
the device looks worst than my old am/fm tunner and it was in stereo 10yrs ago.
they must living an utopia thinking they technology rules because it uses nuclear power and the metalic design shines (not to mention all the bloat ware it installs).. ho yes and I almost forget the fact it doesnt uses the "illusory" stereo mode:)
at my point of view that was an intelligent step done by that judge, but sincerilly i don't belive microsoft will stop at this point, at least they have time enough now beffore Windows Vista release at 01-07 (january 2007).

hahaha.... wait... he is not joking, this would have been funny if it was a joke...

THIS is an interesting one
of course, all this asuming the guilty people actually live (or the stocks are being used) at the US,
different countries different laws.

the comparision table shows only one ps2 version but remember it has a new design now was this the one used or the old and big one?
the prices here in mexico are 32dlls for 512kbps and 60dlls (aprox.) for 1Mbps :'(
in my country this is called prostitution and is not legal

Just as I say, the PC will obey and ppl will think... that's the problem

i think the difference (the most important one) is cacti looks more mature, this is importante if you will use to monitor a production server.
ok, i'm not very sure if this is a joke or not... i will have to wait until tomorrow and see if that's true or they are playing with my feelings :(
