and an official Wii-mote adapter and supplimentary sensor bar you can plug into your PC for input sampling The only thing they'd need is a USB-to-sensor bar adapter. The Wiimote works with any cheap bluetooth dongle.
Funny thing you should mention that. I was messing around in my prefs page last week and I still couldn't figure out what half the settings do. Apart from the labels next to them, there's no documentation at all.
The correct thousands separator according to something (SI?) is supposedly " ". I've never seen anyone actually write it that way though.
It'd be easier for everyone if they just wrote "1<sup>1</sup>/<sub>3</sub>".

I never did understand why getting a book updated required going into the bank here. All the teller seems to be doing is sticking it in a slot-loading printer like a card. Even then they don't always get it right (mine's got a page missing where they tried to print it as a different book format).
What is a quantum computer good for, anyway? So far all I've seen is cracking encryption and other stuff involving gigantic calculations. Is there anything in the mainstream market it'd be useful for, like sound/video processing? Come to think of it, arithmetic encoding is a bit like encryption...
Same thing happened to my XP Home install a few years ago. I installed SP2, rebooted, instantly lost access to my legit Windows installation. I didn't bother fixing it, just booted into whatever distro I had installed at the time (I think it was Slack 9) and got all my important stuff off the windows partition. Then I turned it into swapspace.
One of the things that might've put him off Windows is the EULA clause near the bottom stating "NOT SUITABLE FOR CRITICAL SYSTEMS INCLUDING NUCLEAR REACTORS, LIFE SUPPORT" etc.
That sounds like a great idea - you could have actual printed circuit boards instead of taking big slabs of metal and sticking them in vats of acid for half an hour. With a bit of tweaking they could omit the board entirely and have the circuit be a self-supporting 3D structure.
I ended up dropping out of mine completely... but then again that was because I realised the course was just a 2 year long advertisement for overpriced products I'd never use in a real job. Hopefully you're not in that situation.
If someone writes websites to only work in a particular browser, they're usually the type of moron who writes for IE6 only. Firefox's market share wouldn't make a bit of difference with these creatures.
Seeing as nothing interesting survives the W3C's bureaucracy black hole any more, I'm inclined to agree with him. They have a level of inefficiency and incompetence that most governments can only dream of achieving.
I for one would welcome anyone as the new web overlords at this point (even MS) as long as they DO something instead of just being a private mailing list hosting service for pretentious wankers.
I found something funny with using XHTML 1.1. Certain free hosting sites are totally oblivious to its existence, so if you rename all your pages to *.xhtml their injected ads magically disappear.
Is there any reason why someone would want to pay for a licence to virtualise windows on Linux instead of just using Wine? I mean, if they've got a copy of windows they can just load native DLLs into Wine for anything that doesn't work.

Be nice, he just finished installing the new Java 1.1 - the joke's still 5 minutes old to him.

Should be a bit more useful than the Windows-only USB "firewall" dongle that was posted here a while back.
Five years is nothing.
Go back ten years, and you have the £70 N64 games, £60 Mega Drive games, etc...
Over in the UK they don't bother teaching things like that even in those classes. They spend the extra effort saved on actually putting up wind farms.

Isn't that exactly what the xf86-joystick driver is for?

Perhaps the dictatorship that spies on its own citizens to stamp out dissent through imprisonment or otherwise?
Yeah, I completely support their right to operate in secrecy.

Yeah, but you can do that with chroot and probably an ext2 patch.

It can't be all that bad if Sega aren't responsible for making it. I haven't seen a good Sonic game from them since 1996.
IIRC there's a hack to force IE6 to display XHTML served as text/xml, by adding a blank XSLT or something similar.
That gives them even less excuse for lagging half a year behind KHTML.

Windows has always had some sort of backup program, even XP Home. It seems to compress the backups with lzip, though.

And how is total emulation any better?
