I used to get blisters and calluses from playing any Mega Man game in the franchise from 3 onward. Especially for Nintendo, the corners of the controllers would jab into the palms of my hands and the thumb soreness of having to hold down the button to charge your gun while jumping with the same finger.
What if we could just define which rendering engine to use in pages, e.g. IE7 or IE8 in a meta tag...
IE8 has a "Compatibility View" that allows the user to view pages that are not not standards compliant in IE. All would agree that IE should have been standards compliant from the beginning, but at least IE8 won't "break the Web," so to speak.
A human discovers them struggling in the trap and kills them. Not a popular option with many people, who frequently opt to throw the living rat in the garbage can (see #2 above.) If you find one, my best suggestion is to bash their skulls hard and quickly with a blunt instrument. Be decisive, don't just give them a bump on the head and expect them to die. A shovel or ice chopper works, too. Drowning is a very poor choice -- I still feel guilty about that one.
You should teach a Mob ethics class.
Why would you care if Linux had NTFS support if you're running windows in a VM?
I suppose it depends on how you're setting up your container. If it's file-based, you would have a 4GB size limit.
Okay, I'm going to admit my ignorance in the hopes that someone else will learn. I've been a bit removed from Linux, so my question was going to be "Does Linux support the NTFS file system?" Because VMs running on FAT-based file systems suck. The last Linux-based OS I had used was Ubuntu 6.04 (Hardy Heron), which, to my knowledge didn't support NTFS.
Then, with 30 seconds of research, I came across NTFS-3G implementation.
All of that to say, I agree with the Windows VM idea. But Dell had better set up the VM, because most business people wouldn't have a clue.
A Microsoft study has shown that gamers seldom use all keyboard keys; and thus, Microsoft will release Windows 7 Gamers Edition, which will only support the following keys:
Users will still be able to spray their logo.
Too bad for you if you were a scalper planning on making some quick bucks. I bet we would've seen DTV converters selling like Wiis on eBay with 150%+ markups.

Does every single feature in our web browsers have to have a social component now?
Only where social components make sense. NoScript is a tool that is useful for savvy people like ourselves. Its current model of whitelisting will never become widely accepted unless it becomes easier to use; namely, through whitelist suggestions. Social whitelisting becomes the next logical step, because people would generally not want one source dictating which sites are safe and which are not.
You got that right! I removed 'NoScript'. Every, and I mean every, stinking website I went to had most of their content dependent on scripts.
NoScript wouldn't be so bad if it included social whitelisting functionality. Perhaps you could propose it as a feature request. I personally would prefer to subscribe to a whitelisting server that covers most of the websites I frequently visit and leaves me the opportunity to recommend sites that should be whitelisted.
Nowadays, it might be a perfectly good marketing strategy to *almost* get your advertisement aired during Super Bowl commercial time. Then, work with your PR department to get some articles run about how your commercial was rejected. Next upload your advertisement to YouTube and your own website, and allow social media to bring people to your website.
IMO, this is a much more cost-effective strategy toward advertising during the Super Bowl. You might not be ensured that 97 million people, but your company will not have to spend as much money and the viewers will actually be interested in seeing your commercial. Many people just watch the Super Bowl for the commercials, anyway.
Yes, pat your selves on the back. America (9,161,923 SQ KM) has over taken Germany (357,021 SQ KM). Good work.
Exactly. We're #1!

That should be the motto of our government. If the government sets a deadline, they should hold to it, instead of wasting time and tax dollars by pushing back the finish line. What's wrong with making a decision and sticking to it, if there is no quantified risk to continue?
Just ensure that the vouchers are getting out to the people who haven't received them already. The people can do the rest. If they procrastinate, then let them reap the benefits of procrastination.
Apologies if I sound troll.
The new hype is certainly Rich Internet Applications, but one thing not addressed in this article is whether or not the new non-AJAX technologies used in many RIA apps (Flex/Silverlight/JavaFX) could or should be used to develop a hybrid solution that leverages both the client machine's resources, as well as server resources, when necessary.
Perhaps RIA applications could first assess the capabilities of the host machine, as well as its current load and provide a distributed solution that leverages a reasonable amount of client CPU cycles. It seems to me that any of the above technologies could do this. Typically, this approach is used only for synchronizing, but I don't see why this couldn't occur in real-time.
