Yeah our company downgraded our coffee vendor and now it's not even worth going to the coffee room. Looks like a lot more Keurig sales and 'illegal' coffee machines in cubicles if you ask me...
I installed Karmic on my Dell Mini 9 and was not able to get to my wireless network. After a few hours of searching on the various forums I was able to find a solution which had me reinstalling my Broadcom drivers from a different repository. Of course this all worked in the prior release (v9.04), so I was a little surprised that basic networking was broken in the new one.
Most netbooks don't have optical drives, so the ISO is pretty much useless. v9.04 provided an IMG file that could be used to created a bootable USB flash, but I don't see that for v9.10. Anyone know where the UNR IMG file is for this release?
Ubuntu would be great solution for the enterprise. Basic email and office apps, what more do you need? The only problem with Ubuntu is that it needs more testing and validation before each release cycle. I've had basic functionality break between releases and this will not be acceptable for business use.
I don't see this as a big seller. The advantage of the tablet format is that it's compact. I'd opt for a bigger, more dense (DPI) and better contrast screen over a two page device. I guess it would be kinda useful in being able to browse for stuff (scanning two pages at once), but other than that it doesn't seem to out-weigh the fact that you have to have this thing opened like a book.
They've hired Bruce Willis and Kurt Russell?
They need to bolster the team with Clint Eastwood and Gene Hackman (and throw in Robert Loggia to deal with the politicians...)
They can totally stop this by requiring online activation that ties the game just purchased to hardware. The activation code would be contained in the packaging and could only be used to activate the product once.
They need to work with the auto manufacturers to make the GPS an integral part of the car like AC or the car stereo. Turn-by-turn directions are most useful while driving (when else to you really use it.) Why have to rebuy a GPS app everytime you switch your phone provider or phone?
So now we'll need a plugin for the Adblock Plus plugin that answers the confirmation dialog box that comes up...
Between this and the Vista UAC, let's seem how many questions we need to answer before we get to actually do anything useful on our computers anymore...
So what do you call it when TW imposes caps which make say Netflix/Hulu/Youtube content more expensive to watch than TW provided content? Yes they don't explicitly single out those services, but by imposing expensive caps the end result is the same. So then people flock to the cheaper services like TW video-on-demand (which magically aren't encumbered by said bandwidth caps because it's a separate paid TW service --- which just happens to be cheaper when you compare it against busting through your download tier.)
I'd like to see more dynamic range being captured and also outside visible spectrum. You could do some really cool stuff with being able to merge in stuff from an infrared channel (would be great for smoothing skin tones for example.)
Also I'd like to see something akin to Sony's panshot mode, but implemented at a larger resolution (Sony's images top out at 1000 pixels of vertical resolution.)

Yes, but what about the re-modulated tachyon generators?
I think they just created a new market...
Our tax dollars at work again...

Could never understand the appeal of carpel tunnel hero...

But firing squads and waterboarding are still okay...
Wow, what a luxury. The Radioshack TRS-80 I have in the garage has 16K of RAM (and that was the upgraded version from 4K).

This makes no sense because the internet is not a dumptruck it's a series of tubes. How are you going to fit guardrails inside of a tube?

So you can shoot from the hip or rapid fire without having to aim first. (You can photoshop out the red dot later...)

When has he ever really acted?
Oh thank god, now I can finally resize all those photos I've been meaning to resize!
Can't wait for the "over the roll" or "under the roll" debates between the two countries...

Maybe it was taken by their porn buddy to save the city from embarrassment from their parents and relatives...
