I don't see any reason why Microsoft has to build a new console. Installation numbers are still growing, as is the number of games. I have a hard time remembering it came out 5 years ago, and I still play my 360 very often (when not playing PC games) Certainly they should upgrade the console itself though. And they are. There's talk of the Slim, they've been making bigger hard drives (could you imagine having the 20gb HD for the whole 10-year cycle! Hah!), Natal (I refuse to call it Kinect) to bring in more casual gamers, and guess what? The graphics still look great. Why, exactly, do we need a new generation of consoles? Console gaming has changed, as of this generation.
You don't even have to go that far down. Technically, the script was doing as it was told! Just because the injection wasn't what you wanted, didn't mean the script didn't let it do it, just like the SQL server, and just like the CPU.
As a non-Japanese-speaking-person-who-watches-anime-and-stuff I've always wondered why they have both (well, several) writing systems. They have katakana, and Kanji, and sometimes Kanji with furigana to help with pronunciation. Is it just because it takes less space to write in Kanji? Kind of like how we abbreviate things?
Actually, that's not really true. If they were adding more characters (i.e. sounds) to the language they'd be adding kana, kanji are usually used to represent words. However, IDNSJ (I do not speak Japanese)

As long as it can run Office 2003, there will still be people who use it. (*sigh*)
I think one of the reasons things (like UPSes) report themselves as HID devices is because HID has a generic method of communication over the USB protocol. For example, with a UPS, I can query for HID parameters, and it will return stuff like battery level, charge time, etc. I can do that with just lsusb in Linux. This way you don't need (to write) complex drivers specifying the block protocol and all that jazz to get it to work.
That's funny, both those articles linked to Steam on Mac, not Linux. Also, Steam on Mac has a performance hit because it converts all the D3D calls into OGL calls, rather than having been rewritten to OpenGL. Nothing to do with the BIOS/EFI.
I believe Adwords (and most internet ad systems) work by you putting a certain amount of money in, then each click takes it out of that amount until you're empty.
You're right and wrong. It has nothing to do with CDMA or GSM, 3G is literally the third generation of mobile telecommunication technologies. 3G doesn't actually mean GSM in the slightest. WiMax is technically "4G" because it's a part of the fourth generation, along with LTE. Also, this has nothing to do with phones, more and more people are using these data technologies for laptop tethering. WiMax has been sold on Sprint for a while, for use with aircards, but the EVO 4G is the first phone to actually integrate it.
Slashdot Mirror
Probably because in this space all they hold is the copyright, and somehow they don't get to take out their protection money^w^w loan payments.
Were there really wireless mice before optical?
More annoying to me (and more relevant to Slashdot) are sites that support Facebook Connect, but not OpenID.

Do you mean "One Step Closer"?
Well, since they took the laptop over state lines it's probably a federal offense.
Prepare for trouble! And make it Hubble!
Good thing it's a 2.49 book, then.
Sadly, Acrobat has a pretty decent OCR function that works even while keeping the scanned text in bitmap format, and people still do that.
Strange, 'cause it doesn't. I have one, I had to get in the beta.
Too late!
I have a hard time thinking of a phone that won't split text messages, and at worst, MMS supports about ~1000 characters (on most phones)

Especially since, heyguesswhat, a Mac is a PC, too.

They could have used a better choice of words. "How BP is helping"... make it worse?
