Library may refer to multiple folder locations. Got music in two separate locations (like a portable drive a local one)? Now it's all accessible from one place.
There's a little more than just a firmware upgrade involved here.
Are you sure? Hardware manufacturers have a history of creating FOO of capacity X, then downgrading it via firmware to capacities X-Y and X-Z (where Y and Z are greater than zero but less than X). This way, they can only spend money for creating one type of item, but offer lower price points. Maybe they had the larger capacity all along?
Too bad about 999 out of 1000 Americans who have cell phones bought theirs from a cellphone company, and most of the carriers do cripple their handsets (especially ones that rhyme with Blurizon).
All it takes are a few geeks to show the benefits of buying direct from manufacturer "Look, I get TV, but you don't!" and people will clamor. On my local TV news this morning, they had a spot for google's new phone, and the one thing they kept talking about was this strange concept of "unlocked" and what it meant. The anchors chatted amongst themselves afterward about how innovative the idea of freely moving your phone from one cell company to another was. Regular folk are waking up on the cell phone front, just in time for FCC/Congress to do some investigating for 2010 votes^W^Wthe people.
it boggled my mind that going through the more techie areas of the company was like a playground or a dorm room, but going through legal, accounting, marketing
You were doing so well up till there.
Exactly. Legal and marketing are extremely professional... the 2 hours a day they're in the office. They don't bother to show up for their "goofing-off" so it's not visible. At least IT is in the office for an IT emergency (BTW, if an IT group has become maytag repairmen, that's a GOOD sign). Accountants, on the other hand have a(n undeserved) reputation for sticks in their posteriors.
Sorry to be a pedant, but it's only 3D when I can walk around the TV and see things from every angle. This is stereoscopic; "3D" from only one viewpoint by tricks of the eyes+brain.
In America, boradband providers only offer additional services if they can charge you for it. This "free" word you speak of will not be recognized by the American cell providers.
But it's not their call. If I buy a nokia ATSC enabled phone, and I tune to a local HD channel, I'll get television. Unless I buy the phone from a cell company who removes that functionality and renables it for a monthly fee, there's nothing they can do about it.
So, a script that changes the content for a video of Obama looking around the room for a few seconds at a random time every few days and then restores the original content. That would probably send some paranoid folks nucular.
I'm the submitter, and I'd recommend not clicking on the news link. Not only is it wrong, but the Slashdot editors added it in to my submission, which just had a link to the Executive Order and to the UN Parking Ticket Scandal.
So you're saying that ScuttleMonkey and KD should be modded -1 Flamebait?
Note the statically sized pagefile. That will prevent future fragmentation of the pagefile (I once saw a dynamic pagefile split into 16,000+ fragments on a drive. A friend says he beat that.)
Thanks for reminding me why I quit reading xkcd. Randall Munroe still hasn't let go of that creepy teenage-virgin notion that simply having a love interest makes you somehow a different person.
(It's not having the love interest that changes you, it's what that person helps you find in yourself. that's all)
Um, what? The point of his cartoon was that kids constantly screaming "I HAVE A SIGNIFICANT OTHER" in not necessarily subtle ways are annoying. Sounds like you're agreeing with him.
I would guess they will do the opposite and order too few units in order to increase the demand for the product by creating scarcity. Just ask the Nintendo when the Wii came out
It's a good temporary strategy, but ramp up production quickly (in the first few months), or you risk losing potential customers who just sponge off their friends'/SO's gadget. Or, they may buy a competing gadget (netbook).
Deleting the (probably highly fragmented) pagefile.sys, defragging, then creating a static-sized pagefile can do wonders for a system with a low amount of RAM (1GB or less for Vista). That said, I doubt they even do that. They probably just defrag twice and call it done.
Sherlock Holmes was like Starship Troopers for me: A movie I expected to suck so bad that I was impressed afterward, and would enjoy watching it again (In fact, I just watched a couple ST movies on TV over the weekend). His deductions were mostly predictable (well, the generalities were), but the character has flaws like in the novels and unlike so many movie Holmes' before him.

That sounds like a perfect way to sow confusion.

January 1st our 15 year old security badge system started marking all badges as invalid. Couldn't fix it until we rolled back the system date.
That's strange. If 10 is misrepresented as 0x10, you'd think that 0x95 would be even worse. Did it not start working until 2000?

Sounds to me like you want to be in management, you'll fit right in.
His nose sure fits.
back in the 1900s
Best phrase of the century so far.
I can say without a doubt that IT consists of the biggest bunch of slackers I've ever in my life seen.
Who better to figure out ways to get computers to do work for themselves and others? If you're not lazy enough, you'll be a terrible inventor (coder).
Suddenly, a lot of used games just lost some value.

Exchange the piranhas for hippos and you've got a deal.

what incentive do consumers have to buy this new hardware?
"Hancock 2" will only be available in this new platform.
Which is exactly why we should end this "first" bullshit in the first place.

potential customers who just sponge off their friends'/SO's gadget.
Sorry for the double post, but I think my subconscious meant this for the g-spot article.
I would guess they will do the opposite and order too few units in order to increase the demand for the product by creating scarcity. Just ask the Nintendo when the Wii came out

Is this something that will bepart of the next stable gnome release?
I don't want to know why this made you think of stable-gnomes or their releases.

Will Avatar's real legacy be laying the groundwork for better integrated CGI rather than the story told?
Heh, It'll be this generation's TRON more than TR2N could ever hope to be.

No, I wanted to see it with my girlfriend, but I don't have one. Thanks for the reminder.
