The thing was that there was a backup. According to their podcast, the mac servers were running raid 1 with a firewire backup to a separate machine. However, Mr. Halff said there was file corruption which led to bad backup data, which did not get noticed until the service died. He never did test the backups he made and so now he's got nothing to turn back to.
The Vocaloid series has been quite popular on Nico Nico Douga where most of the Miku videos originate. Those aiming for the realistic sound do a spectacular job sometimes.
Who knows, Nintendo knows what games you own if you've used nintendo.com to register games (GBA/GC and up, I think). If they re-release a GBA game for the DSi, and they see you've registered the game, perhaps they'll let you download it for free. Here's hoping.
I think I have read that same article- The article was a mock letter to Steve Ballmer (I think) about their already-transitioned move to the Windows gui over the Linux core, and this new version of Windows was not competing well with the old Windows for marketshare, and the letter said to wait and hold on...
I found the article very interesting at the time, and I am trying to find it, but it is really buried deep in the bowels of the Internet, unfortunately.
I just got the Linux version. Page loads haven't been this fast since version 8 on this platform, on this same computer, iirc. And it scores an 83/100 on the Acid3 test with a few jerking moments while loading. I am personally very pleased with this version because too often with version 9 I have encountered pages which peg the CPU and take too long to load.
Although... It might be my configuration or something, but CJK fonts look all trashy now. Using the bitmap fonts instead of the scalable ones.
Besides that, Kudos to Opera Software. I've been a fan since version 6 on Windows.

This is why I believe pop-up dialogue boxes should have the action to be performed on the buttons themselves. I personally think this greatly increases usability, if not makes these type of boxes more obvious to what they want to do. I see this trend already going around, but not as much on Windows platforms.
So your example would look like this somewhat.
You are about to install Net awesome happy program.

I'm no UI designer, but I think that we really should be ending the Yes/No dialogue boxes, imho. Keep the actions on the buttons.

It's been my experience that that sort of thing happens if you don't throttle your upload speed. Don't, and you saturate yourself, and anything network-related goes down to a crawl.
Personally, I limit my upload speed to 10KB/sec- my network experience hasn't been bad at all and my torrents are finished by the time I wake up or get back from work.
The power button is very confusing too Yeah, it took me a while to figure the power button on my FreeAgent Pro 320gb. You touch it and hold your finger there for a couple seconds, then the drive will power off. No need to actually press down. If that's a capacitance-based sensor, then yeah.
Imagine that a bunch of teenagers play out what they've learned in Mario games for real. Well, then you've got something like this well-documented event.
Yepp, that's how my company does it. All the new PowerEdge 2950s we have been purchasing have no OS installed, to eventually be set up with CentOS. Sometimes Windows. And software-wise, Dell only supports RHEL and SLES, but those are things we can live without.
I had to think a little while about that 'slashdottit' box. For a second I thought the time had come what this site has been aching for a long time: Modded articles. I'd figure the article would have a similar score range (-1 to +5) to the comment system, and with Firehose in development I really thought the time had indeed come.
Not to mention to run WindowsUpdate the very second the install is complete. A Windows reinstall reverts from all the updates you had from the previous install. They probably aren't sold anymore, but if you're reinstalling a pre-SP2 copy, Windows will be particularly vunerable to anything and everything. Either way, do run WindowsUpdate.
If the Japanese text was just a little bigger, this form of reading manga would really help those learning the language. You have the side by side Japanese text with the furigana (kanji pronounciations) and English translation as well as visual context!
As much as I would hope for a $199 Wii, according to Iwata himself, President of Nintendo, in an interview with the Seattle Post-Intelligence:
A: First of all, all we've said is that we'll have an affordable price range.
We're using "affordable" in the sense that the price won't be significantly higher than Nintendo's prices have been historically. Compared with $600, anything is affordable, so it's absurd to even compare our price.
Teachings have strayed far from what the prophet Mohammad wrote
Hardly. Even though the Koran is the supposed "Word of Allah", there is more talk about the slaying of infidels and killing of non-believers and the various ways of doing so in the Koran than making peace with them.
I really doubt Moslems are going to survive in their form for another 50 years.
I would almost agree, but the fact remains that there are so many of them that I would imagine it taking a lot longer than 50 years, if at all. I believe some sort of reformation or mutual cultural understanding would come first before it dying out.

Don't kid yourself. 2009 is the year of the ox.

Not only that, +23 min and I still see only FF2 available whenever I get a page to load

Of course an engineer could make a good terrorist. There's plenty of spare parts lying around.
Wouldn't want to do something careless like rm -rf /*

I'd stay away from it, they're probably really dangerous. Ya know one of those things killed Steve Irwin.

Intolerance in the Quran
An even more reasonable path to peace is when Muslims start abandoning these teachings, the sharia, and start thinking for themselves.
