hulu isn't available outside of the US, never has. Even though its country rather than ISP based... I think it is the biggest sign of the internet dying. Youtube as well doesn't allow certain videos to certain countries. Oh and I'm Canadian, not like... northkorean or anything. Corporations in their short sightedness will attempt to kill the internet. Maybe Firefox should come with a tool that tracks and rates each site for its openness. Or maybe this internet bubble will burst and everything will be temporarily free again. Reshuffling seemed to lead to new innovators last time as well.
It's only happening on macs. And macs are used to being told what to do with out any options. I think Google is just customizing their suite to match other mac suites. Like iTunes http://slashdot.org/articles/08/03/22/1536250.shtml its just trying to make the user feel more comfortable by taking away all control. I know to a linux or a pc it makes no sense but to a mac its fine i'm sure.
The rich spending money to help the poor IS socialism. A company is mandated by capitalism to get profit. That is all. Philanthropy is not profitable. From the article... "a society characterized by equal opportunities for all individuals". Capitalism doesn't have such a phrase. Anyways it was 'mi' who was disgusted with socialism, I like the idea, it seems to work in all the countries that use it. Socialism comes down to giving everyone equal opportunity. Thats why they have free health-care, emergency services, education and other necessities for success to those who seek it.
If organizations doing things for philanthropy isn't socialism and it IS NOT capitalism. What is it?
It's PHILANTHROPY. And you are bitching about it sounding socialist? Well you can climb right back on to your money pile and go back to hissing at people that approach you. Not all of us hate 'society/socialism'. If you are so anti-socialism I don't see why you care about malaria at all. I mean it doesn't really exist in America and its not profitable to save people in other countries so fuckem right? Priorities of American capitalists are dangerous and scare me. Increasing a number representing gold is NOT a moral imperative. Being nice, spending money to help people aside from yourself IS socialism.
Yeah Linux is easier but I was bitching about things windows should change lol.
And sorry about the formatting I was being lazy.
wmpc > vlc though I haven't tried VLC in over a year I can't think of any missing features I want and wmpc is really lightweight.
I guess there is a difference between/. nerds and people just taking CS. I'm pretty sure i'm the one of maybe 5 in my class of 200 that runs a server my roomy only has 60GB of space on his PC. I remember first year everyone having to figure out how to ssh it was pretty surprising./. Should really make a new school, screw nasa/google.
They are and it is the programs fault. If windows pushed a scripting language harder though the programs would take the 20minutes it takes to add the functionality. And yeah, not complaining about Linux on this one. "Yep. I can do that." Not without an addon you can't... And I'd never even heard of powershell, I like to think I'm pretty damn nerdy. For windows there aren't a whole lot of good video players. WMP classic is the best by a longshot. And ouch, I go to Waterloo its in the top 5 CS programs worldwide, this term we are making a turing complete language/compiler in one of our courses and working directly with hardware architecture in the other. Next term we have to build an OS. Pretty sure I'm in a fairly nerdy school.
The difference would be an implementation average people could use. And one with a lot more options that batchfiles lol. Linux shell scripts are getting there but still not as nice... Sending commands directly to applications would be the big change. 'winamp.stop', 'mplayer.openfile('C:MyMovies')' are examples. I think the whole batch file system windows has should be replaced by a new system. Atm to get teh script i wrote above to work i'd have to get plugins for winamp and wmp... and since one doesnt exist for wmp i'd have to code that. Either way batchfiles are NOT for the regular user, I bet half of my second year CS class has never used one. However in wow EVERY single person past level 50 uses them. Proving that it can gain widespread use by noobs.
Allows me to search my japanese dictionary through a popup or selected text. And changes settings to the ones i want, even lets me put in japanese OR english. This is REALLY useful to me. If this functionality came straight to the OS it would be really amazing. And sorry about putting this in two posts.
I use linux too, i've got a different list of complaints for it. And I use a different shell and multiple desktops on windows but i think this should be more standard. And I never learned much about winfs but the same old same old system seems to be there only because people are used to it rather than innovating on occasion. For macros i suppose i really mean scripts (wow calls them macros and i figured more people could relate to it). Double click an icon and it can do a whole variety of things. This would mean windows would have to have alot of thing controllable through command line commands. Then the script would just execute a long list of these commands. The coders of apps themselves would need to include runnable things but I think it could catch on since it's really not hard to add hooks from the programmers pov. theatermode: 'run winamp.stop; desktop.switch(2); mplayer.exe; run mplayer.openfile('C:MyMovies');'. Is a random example, given the millions of code monkeys i'm sure thousands of useful scripts will come together.
Have you looked at what obama has spent his time with each day since getting in power? Hes made front page news with something he was changing almost every day....
I could make a tweaked command line version of windows thatd be super fast.... Itd just be uglier. Really though i've been dissapointed with OSes for a long time. I want:
More modular. Think WoW. The gui and various things are modular so different versions can be made. The windows ones could even be oss.... unlikely but meh. If WoW can do it so can windows.
- This would allow for addons ala FF, WoW, Winamp
- WinFS, or a filesystem that operates by tags rather than simple folders (Organizing music or wallpapers by a variety of things rather than by folder)
- Multiple desktops please!
- Faster networking architecture. (this may have been fixed but in xp and earlier you had to tweak the registry to my 'my network places' even bareable.
- Better supported remote logins or command line controls
- continue towards customizable gui. Allow more things to be hidden!
- Themes don't have to be hacks!
- MACROs... basically a more flexible commandline allowing for scripts to be dropped straight into the commandline. Regular people wouldnt likely see this but if they had a good system people would copy others. Again, think WoW macros. Its not that complicated.
Yeah! Fuck society, I never liked people. The more people talk the more my image of 'capitalist' turns into some fat guy in a suit on a pile of money hissing at people and raking at their shins if they come close.
I have my light on and I have matches but my posts seem to get randomly eaten on/. lately. I'm not sure what to do. Is there some way I can be saved from this?
Be glad we have the Simpsons. Without homer people would think of nuclear power as so foreign it wouldn't even get consideration. I have a theory that a lot of people believe nuclear power plants work like a big combustion engine. Cept with nuclear blasts instead of gas-air.
I know lets all hate on the giant table. But its minority report irl thats awesome, sure its probably pointless but its cool. I dream a day when all my furniture is computers.... Really that wouldnt be that cool but the table computer is somewhat feasible. I figure anything commonly used in movies and tv shows is worth a shot.
Robots don't work in the jungle anyways. Even harvester machines don't go in jungles. Anyways the thing would need to cut down so many trees in the jungle to go forward that it could be easily replaced by just burning down the whole forest.
Avoiding detection is an interesting one though solar panels are pretty obvious. It might be possible to camo them very well with minor loss in efficiency though.

I didn't say it was smart. 1. shortsighted 2. annoying 3. more annoying .... Sounds like RIAA to me...

They are just saying they wont sue anyone so that people will be open about it and then sue like 100,000people at once.
I thought most wars could be summed up 'my god is better than your god nyanyah!'
I can do this online. Using firefox's bars to save bookmarks. I can instead put in javascript code like:
javascript:q=document.getSelection();d='U';z='E';c=document.characterSet;if(c=='Shift_JIS'){d='S';z='J'};if(c=='EUC-JP'){d='D';z='J'};if(!q){void(q=prompt('Enter%20a%20word',''))};if(q)location.href='http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1M'+d+z+q+'%20(P)'

The suicide and murder rate would jump by 100x atleast within 6hours.

street cred? Personally I think its just to make competitors cry since nobody else is in a position to be able to attempt this.

My University does it on campus, kinda amusing the US can't. Go Canada? (home of candu reactors)
Weed is natural and they hate that. I don't think the 'average' person has a pattern, they are just idiots.
