I think there's two different customer bases you need to consider before saying the iPhone is awesome/sucks: - The consumer who wants to show off YouTube videos to her friends or check email online or just have style of phone - The enterprise guy who needs to check and answer email rapidly, be able ...

You've listed some of the scariest things on television right there.

Is the end part some kind of \"kill screen\" that he can play through the credits?

Topher

This game is over hyped and the reviews seem to be biased to the tune of "OMG dis is der bestest game ever!", when really its nothing different than any other FPS released before it, and the RPG element is completely nonexistent. The gameplay is very shallow, its obvious target being the ...

Topher

There's a boot flag you can set to let you do it in Windows but not every application plays nice with it so it's off by default.

Topher

Don't let me stop you from ranting about Vista, but your arguments against 32 vs 64 bit seem a bit off. Most 32 bit applications will install, but they can’t address memory in excess of 2 gigs. Correct. That is the difference between 32-bit addressable space and 64-bit. With 32-bit, I have 4 bytes f...

All in favor of grounding Sapphire Wolf for polluting this great Internet of ours with more useless information?

I know it's overexposed, but remember how much exposure time most telescopes use to make an image. Factor is some scattering from all the pollution and it's hardly fud. I can't see much in the way of stars around my area, and I'm in a smallish town. I can see the glow of Philadelphia 15 miles away....

That tool is getting abused. You have one edit from one IP. I don't exactly smell conspiracy

FUD.

That photograph is over exposed. I know that you need long exposures to capture images in space, but if I go stand on top of that hill, that's not what I'm going to see.

Eh, it's not in HD so it must have sucked.

Damn, I totally forgot! I spent all day not doing any labor what so ever. Am I unpatriotic?

Topher

No! You're suppose to complain!! And be like \"AHH! WHY CAN'T THEY JUST ENGINEER IT BETTER!! OMG I\"M USING TEH LINUX!\"

Topher

BioShock is one of the most non-linear games I've ever played. You can go back to any level, you have to complete different things in different parts of an area, it's never \"go from A to B to C and next level\". You can rearrange your abilities, you can choose to either destroy security e...

No one would adopt it if it didn't have at least the majority of the features of binary.

[*] Releasing Vista with 32-bit and 64-bit kernels. It exponentially increases the work load for driver developers, thus slowing hardware support for Vista. 90% of the systems that can run Vista well are 64-bit capable anyway.

I'll give you I don't know enough about how reading and writing formulas works in XLSX. But just raw data is easy to import and export. And my point is that's a huge win over the binary format. It's easy to write a PHP script to read and write XLSX data now, it's much harder to do that with the bina...

Topher

Well I'll give you my (personal) perspective: Compare reading data from an XLSX file and XLS file. It's many times easier to generate your own graphs and tables based on the spreadsheet data now. XML is easy to read and documented. It's much easier to write your data to Excel now as well. All your d...

I'm sorry, I can't address all of your points. I can give you this though: backwards compatibility is a huge feature. If Office 2007 didn't support Office 2003 documents, people would look at it as if the product was crippled. I am curious though, how would you suggest solving #1? The problem is: yo...

Topher

Also, for Excel formulas, it means the formula names are US English formula names, which you'll never see in Excel if you are using a locale version such as French or Brazilian What's a better solution then? How does someone who saves the document in French open it on a machine that only has Brazil...

Considering that's more than a 747 weighs fully loaded, I'd say that's quite the helicopter.

My guess is on Superman or Scotty.

Topher

Is the chart thing a bug? Probably. Converting from binary to XML is an incredibly hard engineering problem. Try taking one of the articles suggestions: using localized names for XML tags and values. Say a product ships in 50 languages. So now I can have 50 different ways of storing the same tag. I ...

I believe that's this project, but I could be mistaken.

Office 2007 has PDF export now as well.

I concur, those all suck.

Looking at 2003 vs XP, 2003 does have themeing support, but is disabled by default.

Infinite fuel to travel faster than 186,000mph is absurd. Just like when they said the sound barrier couldn't be broken, Its the same thing, just the next step higher on the difficulty scale. Then it should be much easier to get information to travel faster than light. Something that has yet to be ...
