If I'm right, it is just one file and to put it simply, it is just like reading an html document with the usual anchor tags, where "sections" (div?) appear and disappear as you read the document. If I'm still right, it would create an illusion that you are reading several pages but in reality, you only made that part of the page visible by clicking on the appropriate "links" or "arrows". The article says everything is client-side so I assume the document is all there.
and it seems to be not compatible with Opera [the browser I'm using now] so I tried loading it in IE7 RC1 and only got it to work after around 4 or 5 "permission to run active x controls" (you know, that yellow information toolbar)
So then I browsed the demo, hmmm.. the interface looks fresh and promising, but for compatability reasons, it is much easier (and faster) to browse a document thru html links or by printing them. Although I believe this HyperScope concept (or something similar) is bound to be popular to certain kinds of documents (especially long documents).
but.. I'd miss the 25-page articles with all the subliminal ads.:)
I tried this before when WGA cropped up. I was thinking that if it only needs a code then I would only have to supply it a code from a valid winxp machine, I did that using my new pc with an oem xp and using the code generated for the use of that old family desktop pc. It worked but for only a limited time.
It seems that the code generated is different as time passes by so the code I used a month or so ago would not work again, I have to regenerate the code.
And by the way, If I'm not mistaken, I believe IE7 is doing another validation "tests" of its own during installation. Having a code will let you download the thing, but installing it is another story.
It is like hiring (paying) a private eye to spy on yourself, or like having one of those "angel" that pops behind your shoulder when you're going to do something "not so" good. (I don't know if it is really an angel, it might be a devil in disguise)
Forums is some sort of a middle ground. It provides social interaction between multiple entities and at the same time retain that information. Other types of collaboration and information sharing exists to provide more of the other sides of the middle ground. If you want slow changing, reliable information, we have the wikis/encyclopedias. If you want fast pure communication, we have a number of chat services. But those other types of collaboration and information sharing answers their respective sides only while forums combine the best of both worlds.
Forums will live on, I can't imagine how the web came to be if there are no forums and I don't think it would die that easily. Would it live on the "social" factor alone? I believe so.
[imo] A number of practical applications of forums for me: getting support/programming help/references, checking what my "alliance" did in the game for the past day, debating on pink ponies, looking on how to tie my shoelaces, and stealing signatures.

anyway, if these technology becomes a reality in the 3-5 years and if I read the article right, the whole graphics architecture would change, there would only be a need for a super graphics processor and less need for too much memory and those graphics pipeline/shader thingies...
The reason that they might want it in a CPU is that, why have a separate add on GPU to handle the job while the CPU could do it alone by that time. You would then only need a "basic" video card that would just do the display.
Hmmm... could this be one of the reasons why ATI and AMD merged?
I believe some of us (including me) just browsed NYT's frontpage a few minutes ago.:) Too bad the article's author was the one NYT "catered" first, before us.
...contains scripts that take advantage of unpatched exploits in Windows and Mac OS X that would send to NYT copies of all the gossips you send thru the internet. So far, there is little progress on the native Linux version.

No. He just fears that the president would appoint him as the head of the Croatian FOSS Task Force and he was really hoping that he would get a life and a nice vacation by the end of the year, too bad...
...that someone said Disney would be the one getting angry over this matter. Who would have thought it would be the geologists? Is Disney not doing everything they can to protect their "character's" trademark? I never even had guessed that Microsoft would come into the picture.

IMHO, most audits are scheduled and the management knows about it weeks or even months before the audit. This could buy the management "time" to "instruct" everyone about the audit and do some "beautification". This could also be the time "silence" and "hide" some people too. I'm not saying that the manufacturing facility was dishonest during the audit but given the location of the manufacturing facilities (China), I would not be suprised if they turned out to be dishonest. (who wants to lose a client anyway)
But I really hope that the results of the audit are honest and true for the sake of all those people working there. Minor improvements there could greatly help the welfare of the workers.
When I RTFA, I noticed that yes, they are using one flavor of Linux now but what worries me is that they're "planning" to use more flavors in the future, ranging from Ubuntu to Freespire. I don't have anything against it but if it is under the state grant program, it should try to standarize on one or two flavors of Linux. I think they're getting too excited on this and not thinking of the small consequences when 22000+ students are divided into 10 or more Linux flavors. Although they said those are "future" plans, I really would like to see them standarize. (or it is just me that wants them to use Ubuntu, hehe...)

If we don't start cleaning our space debris, we would have a "more detectable" ring,

you should know the obvious answer to that :)
