You're absolutely right. Some of my favorite games, the ones I play the most were on the SNES platform. I don't own a next-gen system and have no intention of buying one. From what I have played it seems to be all graphics and very little story line. Now if you'll excuse me I need to chase some kids off my lawn.
A few weeks ago I had to renew my CPR certification. We had to go over "complied consent". I imagine the same concept applies to cases like this. If the situation is life or death and the victim or their guardians do not decline, it is assumed that they would want any and all help within the ability of the rescuer.
I tried Hoojooboo, Tookatakkatukka and Whatsits and wasn't impressed by their names either.
Seriously though I tried Drupal and it's installation process was fairly painless and the interface was nice. I just prefer to code my own sites rather than hoping that somebody else will add a feature that I want. Yes I know it's open source, but going through somebody else's code can take a long time and when you have deadlines to meet time is a precious commodity.
If I remember correctly the first LCD monitors were exorbitantly expensive and couldn't hold a candle to their CRT brothers. But since they saved so much space and energy, within a few years those problems vanished. I'd say it's still too early to close the books on SSDs.
I know it's not a car analogy, I humbly beg the forgiveness of the/. community.
I use mainly low-end Axis cameras in my department. I have 6 set up constantly updating a dedicated server. 2 are done at the only points of entry for an automobile so we can get license plate numbers, 2 are set up on the doors of laboratories, and 2 are set up at the main entrances. The two times we've had to use data from the cameras showed that the thieves were actually people that we knew. The video quality isn't great (800 x 600). But realistically if the burglar isn't somebody you know, the highest quality video in the world won't help the police unless you live in a very small town.
This whole thing makes me really nervous. I used to have a hard time getting insurance because of a family history of heart disease. I shudder to think what my kids will have to go through (assuming I ever have any).
The question is what do we allow? Discrimination against obese people, smokers, alcoholics? If we start allowing insurance companies to do that, then genetic testing is just a hop, skip, and a jump away.
That said I agree with the parent that insurance companies belong in that special hell reserved for domain squatters and people who talk during movies.
Actually that's not entirely true. A few years ago we were working in the field in the Arctic. I stumbled down a hill and broke my arm. The satellite phone wasn't working at the time, so our solution was to make an elaborate splint made entirely out of duct tape. It took 3 days to hike back to civilization but my arm didn't even need to be reset by the doctor.
The question is, is this something that the average Norwegian will actually care about? Obviously it's something that worries/.ers and given Microsoft's previous record on all things imaginable it ought to worry everybody else, but in the grand scheme of things is the average person going to even know how they will be affected by the adoption of OOXML as a standard?
I'm not making a claim that Neanderthals spoke PIE and yes, language changes faster than any kind of morphologic trait. The question is whether language was a spontaneous innovation that occurred multiple times around the world, or if there was one mother tongue that everything else derived from. There may be absolutely no correlation between PIE and what the Neanderthal spoke but anthropological and archaeological evidence is so murky from that time period that it would irresponsible to rule something out just because it isn't part of what is considered to be mainstream.
Although I find it hard to believe that there is still discussion as to whether or not Neanderthals had speech. They existed as a discreet species for over 100,000 years and even primates having diverged millions of years before that show basic signs of verbal communication. I would be really curious to see how aspects of proto Indo-European would sound as pronounced by Neanderthals. The last fossils come from France and Spain some 35,000 years ago and it's not unrealistic to suppose that some version of the language would have been spoken by them.

Heck, if you cluster 7 or 8 of those bad boys together you could probably run a stripped down version of Vista.
I completely agree. If Matt Damon can outmaneuver them how difficult can it be?

A cat fight for the C block? Didn't I see this movie on Cinemax not too long ago?
Could have gone with Soviet Russia, but did you really want those floodgates opened up?
I mean the secret police worked out well for Nazi Germany right?
Don't leave the Daleks out! And the Cylons! Good Lord it has begun!
Mmmm, forked Pidgin, reminds me of my last Thanksgiving dinner.
Perhaps the real birthday should be when it reaches self awareness

I wonder if that means that my evil, bearded twin in the Mirror Mirror universe is a better programmer than I am...

The first rule of Project MAHEM is you don't talk about Project MAHEM!

Well if in Norway a No actually means a Yes, who's to say what temperature means?

Maybe it was a Fraudian slip?
I only download for the articles...
