The MPAA downloaded them all. All of the copies.

Or like Half Life 2...

I played with the leaked alpha... I wish they hadn't changed so much... The took out some of the coolest guns...

Those little floating toolbars are the most annoying things in the world. Every time I try to do something they're in the way. And I find docked to be much more elegant than something that you can't figure out where to put so you just leave it floating.

I was sooo happy when Photoshop (CS3?) moved to dockable toolbars. They even did a really nice job of it. And they left the choice open to the user. Why restrict someone that might have a different working style?

This is also one of the big things keeping me from using OSX as my main OS. That and the common ribbon menu at the top... Apps should be in their single main window, with the occasional popup.

But I do love the contextual inspector palettes like in M$ Office and SolidWorks.

Because M$ has never had issues with compatibility...

Well yes. That's my point.

The people behind Wikileaks aren't anonymous, don't need to be, and have chosen not to be. They are trying to provide a way for whistleblowers to be anonymous, which is what would keep someone from coming forward with whatever leak.

So yes, it IS really anonymous for those that want/need to be.

It is anonymous. The point of wikileaks is to keep the whistle blower's identity private.

This naming scheme is obviously not as good for interchangeable or cluster machines. You use unique names for unique computers.

However, combining the two works well. If you have a cluster of computers, give the entire a cluster a name, then each machine is named as <name>-xx.

Our plotter's name is Gutenberg. Maybe we should have used that name for the photocopier...

Quick, file a feature request ticket.

Or wave power! like the Google data centers!

I found a piece of software available for purchase on eBay once. The seller had taken screenshots of some software for simple image editing (or something similar) and blurred out the title bar trying to hide the name. There was still enough information to find out that software he was selling was open source and freely available on sourceforge. I confronted him, using the "Ask seller a question" feature and he replied saying the GPL (or similar) allowed him to charge a fee for providing the software.

This will be a completely different class of iPhone. They don't want to make a small iPhone, they want a cheap iPhone. That means say goodbye to all the fun UI stuff that has made the iPhone so good because they'll probably make it an iPhone wheel (think MacBook wheel).

Then they will be pushed to developing games for linux.

With games developed for a linux based console, it would be an easy switch (if not trivial) to distribute them to linux PCs. That's part of why the windows + xbox releases are so easy to make.

Though M$ likes that they have control over industry and won't give it up without a fight.

You mean "less than" right?

Ps. Damn filter isn't letting me post this without this ps. b/c you're quote has too many caps...
