why not turn the camera around while you are at it and image the room from a few different angles, get some other art work and sculptures and have the camera create an incredibly detailed, textured 3d model of the entire room?
Now maybe I'm mistaken in my understanding that the anti-virus software is part of the default installation and if it is, my argument is admittedly all shot to hell and that Symantec and McAfee are big cry-babies. Given Microsoft's history, however, I doubt it.
An anti virus isn't part of the default installation. It has to be downloaded seperately and costs $50 a year.
McAfee and symantec are big cry babies. Maybe I might agree with them if thier products weren't so bad.
If you read up on the office interface, this is exactly how it works.
If you focus on a picture (i.e. clicl on it) The ribbon will show *all* the options that you can do with the picture. Deselect the picture, and the ribbon will revert to normal
TFA: "Among the more significant new features: Excel 2007's new ways of visualizing data. For example, you can use conditional formatting to color the background of cells based on their value..."
That's present at least in Excel 2003, and I think maybe as far back as 2000.
How can someone review Office 2007 for what's new if they don't even know what's in the older versions?
I didn't know it was in there either, because I COULDNT FIND IT!
I disovered this feature within 1 minute of opening excel.
This is the reason the new UI is there, All the features are there, just no-one could find it.
Point in case
What do the following Word 2003 features have in common?
* Find out the current number of words in the document
* Use voice recognition to control Office
* Create a Document Workspace
* Print envelopes
* Open the Visual Basic editor to write macros
* Hyphenate the text in your document
* Merge the contents of multiple documents
* Start a video conference using NetMeeting
* Tweak your AutoCorrect settings
The answer is they are all in the tools menu!!!
I also find it hilarious how MS 'dont innovate' and when they do, they get slated for it.
Uses a SQLlite database. Very fast itunes like search (i.e. By character) Small footprint (10mb at the minute, have been using it for 5 hours, over 3k songs in my collection)
I'm in favor of all out Blu-Ray. Blu-Ray is an actual technology to fit more data onto a disk. HD DVD is simply a format. You can still store HD DVD format using Blu-Ray technology. Also, HD DVD can only store between 4 and 7 gigs per disk. Blu-Ray uses a 405nm blue laser, and can store 15 gigs on a one layered disk, 30 gigs on a dual layered disk.
Thats so wrong I dont know where to start.
Normal DVD's: 4.7GB (9GB dual layer)
Blu-ray disc capacity: 25GB (50GB dual-layer)
HD-DVD disc capacity: 15GB (30GB dual layer)
The big problem is that Office has nowhere to go. It's a product that has reached maturity, and people just aren't upgrading it.
And openoffice.org is snapping at its heels.
Go download the office 12 beta and come back and tell us that!
At this very moment, Chinese Premier Hu Jinn Tao - please confine your "who" jokes to another post - is meeting with Premier Bill Gates and together they are planning complete and total world domination.
Who cares about the software????
I use XP at work, and I shut down every night. If I don't then I know i'll run into bugs like everyone else at work that refuses to shut down their machine, After 3 or 4 days, weird things always start happening
Strange that I was able to keep my work machine on for a solid month with XP Pro installed and had no problems??
Film has far more resolution then you think, I imagine.
"The very short answer is that there are around 20 million "quality" pixels in a top-quality 35mm shot. That's a shot with a tripod, mirror-up, with a top-rate lens and the finest-grained film, in decent light. 12 million are more typical for "good" shots. There may be as few as 4 million "quality" pixels in a handheld shot with a point-and-shoot camera or camera with a poor lens. And of course if focus is poor, or light is poor, or the camera was not held steady, the number will drop down below the 1-2 million pixels of the modern consumer digicam." http://pic.templetons.com/brad/photo/pixels.html
1920 * 1080 = 2,073,600
Granted, thats still photography, but its mostly the same film.

Is films resolution of about 3,000 lines (equivilant) not good enough???

The massivly improved UI that makes it a million times more efficient.
Seriously, download the beta and be blown away by how easy it is to do things that you never thought you could do, with a minimum of mouse clicks.
Retraining is moot. The UI makes it terribly easy to use and you could figure everything out very easily.
