The internet had been developed more then 40 years ago, but still not support the domain name in non-Latin character. But now the proposal of non-Latin domain is in final stages. The meeting is on 30th October 2009. If the meeting got success then non-Latin domain name is available after 20Novermber.
I thing this is very difficult to handle the major language character e.g. Arabic,Spanish and the work on back end is the same to map the domain name to the IP address.
Welcome to Singled Out! where we ask artists to tell us the inside story of their latest single. Today Charlie Starr from Blackberry Smoke tells us about "Up In Smoke" from their brand new album "Little Piece of Dixie" (which received 4.5 stars from antiMusic's Gary Schwind). We now turn it over to Charlie for the story:
"Up In Smoke" was a collaboration between the band and our buddy, Randy Houser. We got together with Randy in Nashville one day for a little picking-writing session. It was pretty evident from the get-go that everyone involved had imbibed just enough liquid refreshment the night before to make even shaking hands a little difficult.
A little "hair of the dog" was immediately administered to lubricate everyone's motor skills, and away we went. The chorus was put together very quickly, and part of the first verse was coming together when the inevitable happened. Laughter took over. I believe it was Randy who started to sing a song from "Revenge Of The Nerds" in the middle of the proceedings, and I guess I quickly followed suit by trying to make "What you talkin' bout, Willis?" fit into the song somehow. Nevertheless, it was decided that we should take our little midday party to a bar and finish the song later.
The next week I was at home and stumbled across the demo of that hilarious session. I quickly realized that, despite the silliness, I thought it was a really great song. So I sat down in the lazy boy and finished the rest of it. This is probably a "you had to be there" kind of story, but it was a freakin funny experience. I guess that acoustic demo is floating around somewhere. Maybe Randy's got it.
Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album - right here!
The ballot screen, see above, will be delivered via Windows Update. This means it looks as if Internet Explorer will initially be available after installing Windows 7. Indeed in the screenshot above they say…
"The browser ballot has unpinned Windows Internet Explorer from your taskbar"
What this means for people who use Windows 7 is that, at some point shortly after you begin using it you will be asked to choose which internet browser you would like to use. You may decide to choose Internet Explorer, and my guess is most people will, in which case it will switch it back on. However you may choose to opt for the also excellent Firefox or the minimalist Chrome.
The ballot feature a choice of 12 browsers; browsers are listed alphabetically by vendor, and are sorted into groups according to their popularity. Microsoft provides introductory information for each option. You can see a screen shot of the ballot screen here.
Microsoft (MSFT) was equally upbeat on the EC's decision. "We welcome today's announcement by the European Commission to move forward with formal market testing of Microsoft's proposal relating to web browser choice in Europe," General Counsel Brad Smith said in a statement. "We also welcome the opportunity to take the next step in the process regarding our proposal to promote interoperability with a broad range of our products."
There were, however, a few that were not so welcoming of the move. Top among them, ECIS, an industry group whose members include Oracle (ORCL), Sun (JAVA), IBM (IBM) and Nokia (NOK). "ECIS notes that the settlement does not appear to deal with the inadequacies of Microsoft's standards compliance, unfair pricing practices or other concerns related to patent abuse or standards manipulation," the group said in a statement.
Google's new logo is a barcode which, as far as we can tell, says "Google." Today is the 57th anniversary of the first patent on the bar code. Inventors Norman Woodland and Bernard Silver filed the patent on October 1949, and it was granted, No. 2,612,994 (pdf), on October 7, 1952. The original patent was for a system that would encode data in circles (a bulls eye pattern), so that it could be scanned in any direction.
The barcode on the Google homepage is Code 128 encoded, which is a standard way of encoding ASCII character strings (ie. A-Z, a-z, 0-9, etc.) into a barcode. It would be safe to assume that Google used their own open source barcode project
PSP Why? No one cares about that old thing. Honestly, do you want to carry around another heavy, and fragile, state-of-play in art? No. What you need (what this country needs) is a little cheap Genesis 20 of his sports a semi-greatest hits. There is no need to worry about version management, and digital rights management, and firmware updates, or lightness of transport - just hit the power button and you'll be playing changed beast or Sonic & Knuckles before you can say "Segaaaa!"
It's fully licensed device a bit, and this means you will not play Revenge of the Shinogi Eco, or porpoise. These are real games. The device itself from what is cheap as you would expect $ 50, but it runs everything well and comfortable and responsive controls. On the screen is bright and sharp, although it seems that there is some overlap effect. The sound is loud and clear with little deviations (not bass). It comes with a cable for vehicles as well as, associated with the enclave, such as MPro 120, means you've got Genesis the big screen in your bag wherever you go, they have provided enough of the dark. I can not speak to battery life, but I think it's good, considering how little the device needs to be done. It takes the American Association.
(Update: I am if it were me, with the enclave, in a ceremony last night and he had been beaten. You have to be careful, however, is very nerdy to do)
My system came with an error in the part of the screen, which include, but are not very clear during gameplay. Since mine is a free and Review Unit in any case, I'm not going to buck - I'm sure they want it to replace you in early if they were a matter of this kind.
This issue, however, is whether you want to lock yourself in the game and the system presented here, or pay another $ 50 and pick up what looks like Dingoo? It is up to you, but the simplicity of this system is a little point of sale, as well as weak - and its limits, it does not attempt anything that can not do that, nor Dingoo (and the Neo Geo and SNES] performance is spotty).
I suppose what it comes down is what games are. After all, can be the best tool in the world if you do not have a decent game, why would anyone want it? And the full list here:
Sonic & Knuckles Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Palace Gain ground Arrow Flash Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Eco son. Gold hack Suppression Altered beast Flicky Decap attack Cyper police ESWAT Alien storm Shadow Dancer Columns III Sonic Spinball Jewel Master Baby chameleon Dr. Robotnik in the Mediterranean Bean Machine ECHO
So. Some classics, and some garbage. It is expected to be. In any case, this little thing is a great little time waster, perfect for riding the subway, waiting in queues, and so forth. It's the tool, it's awesome, why do you need to know?
