The reason is that an LED's voltage/current/temperature relationship contradicts naive assumptions about electrical conductors.
To be specific, its that while a resistor will have a potential difference (voltage) proportional to the supply voltage, an LED's potential will never exceed a fixed voltage (IIRC its 1.5 V). Once the voltage exceeds this, you basically have a short circuit.
Chrome doesn't have adblock, and probably never will. Extensions are king, and firefox has that mindshare.
Chrome is still in beta, and Google has stated that they plan to implement an plug-in API later. It's very likely that many of the major Firefox plug-ins will be ported to Chrome.
What makes you so certain its an antitrust? People expect their OS to be secure out of the box, and I'm pretty sure that AV falls under that category. There weren't any lawsuits about Windows Firewall, so I reckon that AV should be safe on similar grounds.
But how many of them came preinstalled with Windows? Arguably, this is one of the few Microsoft programs that shouldn't be subject to antitrust - *everyone* should have AV since its a security component. I don't recall hearing about any antitrust suits regarding Windows Firewall.
Some pirated copies are cams, but they only last until a proper ripped version emerges. Typically, they're downloaded by those who can't wait for the DVD to be uploaded.
That sounds great, but I think it would be even better if you could play back music with it as well. e.g. backing or accompaniment. Adding a basic MP3 player and MIDI synthesizer to it probably wouldn't increase the price significantly, given how ubiquitous the technology is.
FYI, if you dont know the crime was commited on Valve computers, meaning the original crime was performed in the USA.
Wait, do you mean that he hacked into their computers and copied it off, or that he actually walked up to the computer and copied it on to a USB, etc.?
Come on guys, its a pre-beta! We all know that Windows 7 is going to be a refined version of Vista, did you really expect them to actually do any thing significant so far? I'm guessing that the performance will only start to improve by the 2nd beta, when all the new features are implemented and they have fixed all the major bugs. Right now, it's little more than Vista with minor tweaks to the UI.
Why does everybody seem to see politics as binary red/blue issues?
You mean like this? I would have thought it's obvious - the republicans are the reds, the democrats are the blues, and both are too useless too actually be effective.
It's not just the annoyance that will cause a drop in sales - such actions would devalue the retail games since they can't be resold. But I bet the prices are the same...
I do hope -you- would know better and tell it to stfu and ignore
Except that because it is a standard windows DLL, it is extremely likely that it would be infected, or a virus would have the same name. Just like how heaps of viruses are called svchost.exe because Windows normally runs around 6 different copies of it.
it's the number hitting the Windows Update servers
Not really. What about the big organizations that download the updates once and redistribute them internally - using that figure only gives a fraction of the total number.
I feel for you - I only recently upgraded from a crappy Telstra connection to iiNet - they were the only ones who provided ADSL2+ in my area, and I got a 60 GB quota as well:D
I know what you mean about the blacklist - at my school, we don't even get full access to wikipedia; they've blocked all the images. Real fun when you're trying to read a math-based article without any equations:(
Then we get a new disease to replace it. e.g. bird flu or something like that. I'm hoping that by the time we start having real trouble with the population explosion, we'll have terraformed Mars (and maybe a few of the less inhabitable deserts).
I used DOS and Windows 3.11 when I was a kid. 12 years later, I'm still using Windows. Why? Because I'm familiar with it and know how to hack it. I'm guessing that's why so many ex-Unix users learnt Linux. As it is, I'm only learning Linux now.
Because then they wouldn't have as much revenue. If their bandwidth really were limited, they would shape to reduce congestion. But they've got plenty, so they impose an artificial limit and charge you extra for going over it.

Does it matter? They both serve Gates

4 Terraflops should be more than enough for anybody...
Chrome crashes - 722,000 Results
Not as stable as Firefox, but coming 2nd while in beta isn't bad...

Besides, Chrome was built with stability and performance in mind, not functionality. That's why it doesn't have RSS support (yet).

It's more than that - now all the sciences are in on it!

Most of the commercial TV today is pretty pathetic, but if you look around online you can find some pretty good stuff.

Because the terms 'directory' and 'folder' have become synonymous for the internet generation.

Why not shape rather than charge extra though?
