There is a point there. Although, I really do not agree. I think that they need to go back to requiring a working example before allowing a patent to be filed. Then anything that is brought to court has to be represented in the device used to file the patent. Getting rid of the need for a device was not smart.

Oh, that guy writes good things. I wish he was a CodeProject member! Veni, vidi, vici.

I think the only thing that really bothers me is the unnecessary vertical padding around text that has been introduced with the new look.  But it makes the forums really hard to read.  For me, at least. /ravi My new year resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | My .NET bits | Freeware ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

Well yeah, but I messed up something in the underlying partitions, so Windows isn't the culprit here. I'm actually terribly, and pleasantly surprised that it can boot, which atleast gives me the option to copy the files off a network share. This one is pure unadulterated PEBKAC error.

Although Comp Eng at my school is very integrated to being an EE. I doubt many schools offer EE with out teaching you about him... atleast schools that should be attended. Granted, I do agree that most people don't know about him other than the Coils (musical instruments?? I think of Frankenstein...). But that can be said about numerous crazy smart people. Seems the only time the 'average' person ends up knowing about the crazy smart people is if they went truely crazy and made some Big super weapon and killed massive amounts of people. :doh: Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

Not software, but soft goods, is my reason for being what is officially called a pirate. I have bought several music CD's, which I have subsequently lost. Such purchases differ from e.g. buying food, which expires; I have paid for the right to listen to the artists, and my downloading of a copy of an album is, to me, entirely justified.

Lake Mead, Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire State Park... Yeah, don't gamble unless you study the games first... and once you study the games you won't want to play. :-D

For speakers I think B&W is big money better spent.

There has only been two choices. Internet Explorer and browsers that use the Trident engine or Netscape and browsers that use the Gecko engine. In the good old days IE would load the source code into Notepad. Netscape would load the source code into a non editable window. To edit the code you would have to copy and paste it into Notepad before editing it and then remember where to save it and what file name to give it. So back then IE or an IE clone was my main browser. (NeoPlanet, AOL, etc) I would write the page using IE and when finished test and edit it to also work with Netscape. (Back then Netscape didn't support DIVs so had to also use LAYERs) The worst thing IE did, was to drop Notepad for its source code display window. (Like Netscape and clones) To restore this feature load IE and click on Tools, F12 developer tools. In the developer tools window click File, Customise IE view source, Notepad Then source code will always load into Notepad. Also IE and clones support VBScript, CSS rounded corners around a video (HTML5 code), etc, etc.

Although they're stable UM and DF are defacto WIP for win7 since they only support a fraction of the current taskbar features; more seriously the dev rate on both is negligible at present. In both cases I suspect they were someone's side project and they no longer have the time they did years ago. The one advantage I'd give UM over DF is licensing. I have multimonitor systems at home and work, I only needed to buy one license of UM, but needed 2 for DF. :sigh: 3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18

The problem with people who have very few creative ideas is that their only recourse is to milk those few ideas for everything they can get. A really creative person would have moved on to new ideas right after having implemented that one. I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
