You wouldn't find anything anyway, because AT is a common word. So if they'd let you search for it, you'd get all the pages with the word 'at' in them which wouldn't be useful.
Keep in mind they're not going to make it cap sensitive.
I think differential GPS' are no longer neccessary. The original purpose was to correct for Department of Defense Selective Availability right? Wasn't that disabled (not permanently) a year or so ago?
It's age discrimination. If I had kids, they should be able to watch whatever movies they want, without me coming along. If they aren't mature enough for Pulp Fiction, they aren't mature enough to walking around upsupervised anyway.

Could be. In chem, the units of measurement are relative to centimeters,grams, and seconds as opposed to physics which uses meters, kilograms, seconds.
The NSA has probably had this technology for years now. And they DO read your encrypted email. I'll bet they're reading this post right now, as I'm typing it.
yes, but if you want to receive mail from some legitimate listserv, you've just filtered out that mail. Most legitimate listservers do not put your email address in the two line either
What I found hard about Linux is not "How do I do blah?". It's "How am I supposed to do blah?"
It was easy to get something to work, but I was never sure if I was supposed to do it that way.
For example, you could install windows nt into C:\happy instead of C:\winnt, set up a ram drive and use it to hold your swap file. It will appear to work, but I wouldn't recommend doing it.
So, I uninstalled it. I admit that I didn't try as hard as I should have, but I don't have the time at the moment to learn a new paradigm.
So basically, macs (whose hardware is more expensive than equivalent PCs) are only good for web browsing and email?
If I was just going to do web browsing and email, I'd buy a $400 pc! If I had more money to burn, I'd spend it on dsl or cable modem, or maybe some cds. (can't put many mp3s on a $400 box:) ).
I'll accept that the hardware on macs may be more advanced than pc's backwards-ass architecture (I don't know much about mac hardware though). But if the hardware is 'better' (and costlier per unit of performance), why are they catering to the new users and not the power multimedia market (which is traditionally theirs)
I don't think Jobs can figure out who his target audience is, newbies or power multimedia gurus?
Wintel machines may have many many problems, but they've definately got one thing going for them - THEY'RE DIRT CHEAP!.
I was dealing with this user once, over the phone.
"Right-click on the desktop..." "You mean with the keyboard?" "??Umm no, just right-click on the desktop." "It's not doing anything" "???"
Turns out, she thought I meant "Write 'Click' on the desktop"
Moral of the story: People can be stupid.
regardless, I don't think the users that can't figure out two button are going to understand anything anyway, so might as well go with what's easier for normal people.
Remember the first time you used a mouse, regardless of when that was? Double-clicking is difficult regardless of intelligence, it requires a certain amount of dexterity that's unatural w/o experience.
The Windows implementation can be very inconsistent though. You double click on icons, single click on menu entries, single click on buttons, single click on hyperlinks. It doesn't make sense, you just memorize it. Windows (with IE 4 and later) has an option that makes everything like a hyperlink. Hover over to select, click once to execute. Too bad it's not turned on by default, experienced users could always turn it off.

But all M$ products are closed source, so nobody would find out.

It would be cool if they made just a robot hand instead of a dog.
You could program to do sign language. Or just flip people off.
You're thinking of NSA

not to mention the difference between a backslash and a forward slash. I don't mean what they're used for, I mean what they look like.
hmm, maybe someone could figure out how to manufacture a chip three dimensionally, increasing performance by several orders of magnitude.
Umm, he just did put it in writing.
Rather, they never learned them.
What organization is responsible for most of the schools in this country?
That's right, the US Government.
Why is this moderated offtopic and not FUNNY?
Must have sucked in the summer. :)
Yeah. Reproduciton would be if you can program a manufacturing machine to build an identical manufacturing machine.
Yes, someone who puts LSD in your coffee is a laser.
I think it's unpossible.
Fact: Whether I watch an ad or not has no impact on whether or not I actually buy the product, so the company is no worse off for me not seeing it.

The problem with this is that there may be legitimate email that just happens to have ADV in the subject.
What about legitimate commerical mailing, would it have to have ADV, there's some commercial mail that I specifically request and want to receive.
Or, what if someone, maybe an English teacher, writes the word 'adverb' in the subject? Should the mail just be deleted.

Did you actually read the article? It's a FEATURE (that means INTENTIONAL) in the BIOS.
Microsoft put it ont heir tech support because if my windows box started playing music, I would think I had a virus.
